WASHINGTON — Contentious from its conception, President Barack Obama’s health care law has survived the Supreme Court, a battle for the White House and rounds of budget brinkmanship. Now comes the ultimate test: the verdict of the American people.

The government shutdown could dampen the rollout Tuesday as insurance markets open around the country. But it won’t stop the main components of “Obamacare” from going live as scheduled, glitches and all.

Harold Agnew, who worked on the Manhattan Project, witnessed some of the landmarks of the Atomic Age and served as director of Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1970 to 1979, died at his home in Solano Beach, Calif., on Sunday while watching football on TV. He was 92 and had suffered from chronic lymphocytic leukemia since the spring.

“He really was a legend, especially around here,” Harold said lab historian Alan Carr.

Agnew “He really had a knack for being at the right place at the right time to witness history.”

Born in Denver on March 28, 1921, he received an undergraduate degree from the University of Denver, then joined the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, where he worked with Enrico Fermi on the construction of Chicago Pile-1, which produced the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in December 1942.

He joined the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos the next year. His first assignment was to assemble and run a particle accelerator used to study the odds of neutrons striking different kinds of atomic nuclei — data vital to judging the merit of various bomb designs.

About 60 of the 220 judges who had registered for the conference decided to stay home after they received memos over the weekend that said days on which they did not show up to work would count as furlough time, even if they were preapproved for paid leave.

The judges, who hear Social Security disability claims, originally weren’t on the list of federal employees scheduled for furloughs in the event of a government shutdown.

Rates on U.S. T-bills drop

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills fell in Monday’s auction with rates on three-month bills dropping to the lowest level since late 2011.

The Treasury Department auctioned $25 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.010 percent, down from 0.020 percent last week.

Another $25 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.040 percent, down from 0.050 percent last week.

The three-month rate was the lowest since three-month bills averaged 0.005 percent on Dec. 19, 2011.

The six-month rate was the lowest since those bills averaged 0.030 percent on Sept. 16.

The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value.

For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,999.75, while a six-month bill sold for $9,997.98.

That would equal an annualized rate of 0.010 percent for the threemonth bills and 0.041 percent for the six-month bills.

Separately, the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable rate mortgages, edged down to 0.10 percent last week from 0.11 percent the previous week.

went through nearly three weeks of nauseating triple-digits moves almost daily.

“This sort of political brinkmanship is the dominant reason [the United States’ credit] rating is no longer ‘AAA,’ ” Standard & Poor’s analysts Marie Cavanaugh and John Chambers wrote in a note to investors Monday. If domestic and foreign investors begin to question whether the U.S. will pay its debts, it could throw every other investment out of alignment.

“It’s a threat to the center of the global financial system,” said Jake Lowery, portfolio manager at ING U.S. Investment Management.

Global financial markets also were rocked Monday. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares fell 0.8 percent to close at 6,462.22 while Germany’s DAX fell 0.8 percent to 8,594.40. The CAC40 in France ended 1 percent lower at 4,143.44.

In the currency markets, the euro recovered from early losses to trade 0.1 percent higher at $1.3535 and the dollar rose 0.6 percent to 98.25 yen.

The price of benchmark New York crude was $1.04 lower at $101.83 a barrel as investors fretted about the impact on the U.S. economy and the consequent impact on energy demand.

The mood was downbeat earlier in Asia as well. Japan’s Nikkei 225 stock average, led the way down, closing 2.1 lower at 14,455.80. Hong’s Hang Seng index was down .5 percent at 22,859.86. South Korea’s Kospi ended 0.7 percent lower at 1,996.96. The Shanghai Composite bucked the trend, closing 0.7 percent higher at 2,174.67.

NEW YORK — Airlines are introducing a new bevy of fees, but this time passengers might actually like them. These new fees promise a taste of the good life, or at least a more civil flight.

Extra legroom, early boarding and access to quiet lounges were just the beginning. Airlines are now renting Apple iPads preloaded with movies, selling hot first class meals in coach and letting passengers pay to have an empty seat next to them. Once on the ground, they can skip baggage claim, having their luggage delivered directly to their home or office.

“We’ve moved from takeaways to enhancements,” says John F. Thomas of L.E.K. Consulting. “It’s all about personalizing the travel experience.”

Carriers have struggled to raise airfares enough to cover costs. Fees bring in more than $15 billion a year and are the reason the airlines are profitable. But the amount of money coming in from older charges like baggage and reservation change fees has tapered off. Revenue from bag fees in April, May and June fell 7 percent compared to the same period last year, according to figures released by the government Monday.

So now the airlines are selling new extras and copying marketing methods honed by retailers.

Delta Air Lines recently gave its flight attendants wireless devices, allowing them to sell passengers lastsecond upgrades to seats with more legroom.

And just like Amazon.com offers suggested readings based on each buyer’s past purchases, airlines soon will be able to use past behavior to target fliers.

“We have massive amounts of data,” says Delta CEO Richard Anderson. “We know who you are.

We know what your history has been on the airline. We can customize our offerings.”

Airlines have yet to find the right balance between being helpful and being creepy. “We want to get back to a point where people feel like travel isn’t something to endure, but something they can enjoy,” says Bob Kupbens, a former Target executive and Delta’s current vice president of marketing and digital commerce.

Most passengers select flights based on the lowest base fare. The online travel industry plays up that price sensitivity with sites named CheapOair.com, CheapTickets.com and InsanelyCheapFlights.com.

When airlines try to raise fares, they are met with resistance. Now airlines are recasting fees as trip enhancements.

Jamie Baker, an airline analyst with JP Morgan Chase, likens it to a meal at a restaurant. “The sides are not included in the price of a steak,” he says. “Airline ticket prices should reflect the costs incurred by the individual passenger.”

Weapons experts kick off Syria mission The Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Inspectors charged with the enormous task of overseeing the destruction of Syria’s deadly chemical weapons stockpiles kicked off their mission Monday, racing to meet tight deadlines against the backdrop of civil war.

The Syrian regime lashed out at the rebels, claiming government forces are fighting mostly al-Qaida-linked militants and refusing to talk with the main Western-backed opposition group — a blow to U.S.-Russian efforts to hold a peace conference by November.

New splits within the opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, also emerged on the conditions for attending the planned conference in Geneva.

After meetings with U.S. officials in New York last week, the group’s leader expressed readiness to attend talks aimed at establishing a transitional government with full executive powers, leaving open the question of whether President Bashar Assad could stay on.

But other coalition members expressed astonishment, saying they would participate only if they have prior guarantees that Assad would step down.

“Geneva should be the road toward salvation and not the road to rescue Assad and his gang,” said Mohammad Sarmini, a Turkey-based coalition member.

All previous efforts at bringing the warring sides together for talks have failed, and it was unclear why the regime would come to the table now that it has the upper hand in the war and the threat of an imminent U.S. military strike has been lifted.

The Russian initiative that averted the strike led to the adoption of a U.N. Security Council resolution to have Syria

dismantle its estimated 1,000ton chemical arsenal by mid2014. The resolution, passed after two weeks of negotiations, marked a breakthrough in diplomatic efforts since the Syrian uprising began in March 2011.

On Monday, 20 inspectors from the Netherlands-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons landed in Beirut on a private jet on their way to Syria.

The group is to travel to Damascus on Tuesday to begin its ambitious task — a complex and potentially explosive mission fraught with security challenges. They are expected to meet with Syrian Foreign Ministry officials on arrival.

Inspectors at The Hague said Sunday the inspectors’ priority is to achieve the first milestone of helping the country scrap its ability to manufacture chemical weapons by a Nov. 1 deadline, using every means possible.

That may include smashing mixing equipment with sledgehammers, blowing up delivery missiles, driving tanks over empty shells or filling them with concrete, and running machines without lubricant so they seize up and become inoperable.

Some of the inspectors will be double-checking Syria’s initial disclosure of what weapons and chemical precursors it has and where they are located.

Others will begin planning the logistics for visits to every location where chemicals or weapons are stored.

Within a week a second group of inspectors will arrive — fewer than 100 combined — and form teams that will fan out to individual sites. Their routes are secret — both for their safety and because Syria has the right not to reveal its military secrets, including base locations.

The inspectors have about nine months to find and dismantle an estimated 1,000-ton chemical arsenal that took years to build — the shortest deadline they have ever faced in any nation, and their first mission in a country at war.

On Monday, another U.N. team of inspectors charged with investigating alleged chemical attack sites concluded its almost weeklong mission in Syria and headed to Lebanon, where they boarded flights back home. The U.N. said Friday the team was to investigate a total of seven locations.

The team initially visited Syria last month to investigate three alleged chemical attacks earlier this year. But just days into the visit, the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Ghouta was hit by a chemical weapons attack, and the inspectors turned their attention to that case. The inquiry determined that the nerve agent sarin was used in the Aug. 21 attack, but it did not assess who was behind it.

The team will now draft its final report on its findings about the chemical weapons attacks in Syria, expected to be ready by the end of October, according to U.N. spokesperson Martin Nesirky in New York.

The U.N. resolution passed last week also endorsed a roadmap for a political transition in Syria adopted by key nations in June 2012, and called for an international conference to be convened “as soon as possible” to implement it.

Obama’s preference for negotiating with Iran and has repeatedly pressed his U.S. counterpart to toughen his threats of military action should Tehran get close to producing a nuclear weapon.

Ahead of his visit to the U.S., Netanyahu made a series of derisive remarks about Rouhani’s efforts to woo Obama and vowed to “tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the onslaught of smiles.”

But the Israeli leader was publicly more subdued while sitting side-byside with Obama at the White House.

He thanked the U.S. president for his efforts to curb the Iranian nuclear program and for calling on Rouhani to back up his words with actions.

And in a possible sign of moderation, Netanyahu repeatedly said Iran must give up its “military” nuclear program, raising the possibility that Israel might be open to tolerating limited nuclear activities by Iran.

In the past, Netanyahu has said that Iran must halt all enrichment of uranium, a process that can have both military and civilian uses.

FEDERAL SHUTDOWN

THE NEW MEXICAN Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Feels: Other areas will see effects as well Continued from Page A-1 But the Association of Administrative Law Judges, which has convened annually for the past 22 years in various U.S. cities, planned to continue with its conference here through Thursday.

Jim Luttjohann, executive director of the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the reduced attendance by the judges, who pay their own expenses for the conference, will frustrate local businesses that depend on tourism.

“Any time we lose visitors to our city for any conference or educational event there’s a trickle down effect,” Luttjohann said. In addition to lost hotel revenue, he said, “it’s lost in dining revenue, in car rentals — all sorts of retail.”

Based on an estimated average daily spending of $406.67 per person for lodging, meals and other items, he figured the 60 cancellations mean about $24,400 a day in lost revenue for Santa Fe. Jamie Horwitz, spokesman for the association, said the judges, who paid up to $2,000 for registration fees, airfare and hotel room costs — most of it nonrefundable — would rather miss the conference than not get paid.

The average pay a judge would lose if he or she attends the three-day conference is about $2,400, Horwitz said.

“This is a good example of how this affects people outside the [federal] government,” he said. “This is going to affect restaurants and hotels in this town.”

Association of Administrative Law Judges President Randy Frye, a federal judge based in Charlotte, N.C., called the Social Security administration’s move unprecedented and unlawful.

Frye, who is in town for the conference, said his group has been discussing legal action against the agency. “We believe we have some legal recourse,” he said, “but now we’re talking about litigation costs.”

Another agency that will be affected by the shutdown and likely will have ripple effects in the Santa Fe area is the National Park Service, both in terms of tourism and paychecks. The agency, which manages about 400 parks and monuments nationwide, with about a dozen in New Mexico, said Monday it was prepared to give anyone camping in the parks 48 hours to leave.

James Doyle, a spokesman for the National Park Service, said a small number of paid staff out of the 300 employees in New Mexico are prepared to show up for four hours Tuesday to shut down the parks.

The most recent statistics show 1.5 million people visited New Mexico’s national parks in 2012. And in 2011, the parks generated a total of $97 million in economic benefit to the state, according the agency’s website.

Employees at military installations around the state also will be affected. For example, White Sands Missile Range has about 2,700 civilian employees who will be affected by the shutdown, said Cammy Montoya, a spokeswoman for the missile range in Southern New Mexico.

Even if civilian employees are furloughed, Montoya said, about 750 service members will still report to work.

Los Alamos National Laboratory is expected to continue operating in the coming weeks, even during the shutdown, because the lab will have sufficient funds to pay staff, lab director Charles McMillan said last week in an email to more than 10,000 employees.

U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., has said that a federal shutdown could be “incredibly destructive.” But Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., who voted for a House bill that would delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act, said in a news release that even though a shutdown is bad for the state’s middle class, the health care law would bring “more unnecessary burdens, confusion and hardship.”

ple a day visited the 401 areas within the national park system last October, contributing about $76 million a day to local economies, said National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst.

As a result of the shutdown, the agency expects to lose about $450,000 a day through entrance fees, backcountry permits, boat rentals and other sales, he said.

“We remain hopeful that a shutdown is averted,” he said Monday, noting that plans were in place for the alternative.

At the Grand Canyon park, authorities will be posted at entrance gates and turn back visitors, while others will cordon off overlooks along a state highway that will remain open to through traffic. Signs will be placed at trailheads telling people they have to leave.

“We know there’s going to be some inconveniences

with the traveling public and our employees,” Grand Canyon spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge said.

The last time the park shut down was 1995. Former Gov. Fife Symington offered National Guard troops and state park rangers to keep one of Arizona’s prime tourist attractions open.

But former Grand Canyon Superintendent Rob Arnberger rejected the offer.

Nearly 5 million people visit the iconic park each year, and 1,500 people call it home. The new shutdown won’t result in closure to residents, and water treatment and sewer facilities will be maintained.

The shutdown will impact tour companies in Utah and Nevada that stake their business on access to the Grand Canyon.

Nearby communities such as Flagstaff, Tusayan and Williams also depend heavily on tourists

headed to the canyon to stay in hotels, buy souvenirs and eat at restaurants.

Standing at the South Rim on Monday, Tom and Karen Jacobs said Congress shouldn’t deny people the opportunity to learn about history at the national parks or take in the beauty.

“Until you’re standing on the edge of Grand Canyon or you’re feeling the water spray from Old Faithful, it’s not the same,” said Tom Jacobs of Carrollton, Texas. “It will still be there when the shutdown is over, but why keep people out? It’s a shame.”

The couple is fortunate.

They’re staying at a lodge on the South Rim and were scheduled to check out Tuesday.

Still, Karen Jacobs was angry at Congress and President Barack Obama for bickering on the budget and ruining the trips of others.

okyo Café offers a new sushi experience for Santa Feans. Located near the El Rey Inn and next door to Baskin Robbins, Tokyo Café is a relatively new option in the City Different’s vast array of restaurants. But a combination of great prices, central location, and unique and affordable offerings make the newest sushi spot in town worth a visit.

Erin and Wei worked years as apprentices in the Texas establishments of Hayashi, a hibachi and sushi restaurant. Before working at Hayashi, Erin said that their initial training took place in Japanese restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska. In June of this year, the couple decided to strike out with their partner and took over the former site of Teriyaki Bowl on Cerrillos Road. “We renovated and remodeled the interior while keeping some of the features of the previous owners, like the drive through window,” said Erin. “With the

installation of our sushi bar, we hope to serve great dishes for the casual diner as well as people from work looking for a quick but healthy lunch.”

Erin’s partner in the restaurant is the sushi chef, and Wei makes all the hibachi and teriyaki dishes.

“Our goal in opening this restaurant was to offer fresh and unique Japanese dishes to eat in our dining area or take out all at great prices,” said Erin. They also offer a smaller but no less appetizing drive through menu for sushi lovers on the go. Lunch specials were a priority as well, says Erin. “We came up with a convenient and tasty lunch menu that emphasizes affordable prices but doesn’t skimp on flavor,” said Erin.

Prices for lunch entrees start at $6.99, are hibachi made and feature choice cuts of meat or vegetables ready to eat.

a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you’re supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there’s a law there that you don’t like,” he said. Speaking of the health care law that undergoes a major expansion on Tuesday, he said emphatically, “That funding is already in place. You can’t shut it down.”

Some Republicans balked, moderates and conservatives alike.

Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia said it felt as if Republicans were retreating, given their diminishing demands, and Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia said there was not unanimity when the rank and file met to discuss a next move.

Yet for the first time since the showdown began more than a week ago, there was also public dissent from the Republican strategy that has been carried out at the insistence of lawmakers working in tandem with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Rep. Charles Dent, R-Pa., said he was willing to vote for standalone legislation that would keep the government running and contained no health care-related provisions. “I would be supportive of it, and I believe the votes are there in the House to pass it at that point,” the fifth-term congressman said.

Other Republicans sought to blame Democrats for any shutdown, but Dent conceded that Republicans would bear the blame, whether or not they deserved it.

Hours before the shutdown, the Senate voted 54-46 to reject the House-passed measure that would have kept the government open but would have delayed implementation of the health care law for a year and permanently repealed a medical device tax that helps finance it.

In response, House Republicans sought different concessions in exchange for allowing the government to remain open.

They called for a one-year delay in a requirement in the health care law for individuals to purchase coverage. The same measure also would require members of Congress and their aides as well as the president, vice president and the administration’s political appointees to bear the full cost of their own coverage by barring the government from making the customary employer contribution.

“This is a matter of funding the government and providing fairness to the American people,” said Boehner. “Why wouldn’t members of Congress vote for it?”

The vote was 228-201, with a dozen Republicans opposed and nine Democrats in favor.

Unimpressed, Senate Democrats swatted it on a 54-46 party line vote about an hour later.

Obama followed up his public remarks with phone calls to Boehner and the three other top leaders of Congress, telling Republicans he would continue to oppose attempts to delay or cut federal financing of the health care law.

The impact of a shutdown will be felt unevenly.

Many low-to-moderateincome borrowers and first-time homebuyers seeking government-backed mortgages could face delays, and Obama said veterans’ centers will be closed.

About 800,000 federal workers, many already reeling from the effect of automatic budget cuts, have been ordered to report to work Tuesday for about four hours — but only to carry out shutdown-related chores such as changing office voicemail messages and completing time cards.

Some critical services such as patrolling the borders and inspecting meat will continue.

Social Security benefits will be sent, and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor will continue to pay doctors and hospitals.

U.S. troops were shielded from any damage to their wallets when Obama signed legislation assuring the military would be paid in the in the event of a shutdown.

That had no impact on those who labor at other agencies.

“I know some other employees, if you don’t have money saved, it’s going to be difficult,” said Thelma Manley, who has spent seven years as a staff assistant with the Internal Revenue Service during a 30-year career in government.

As for herself, she said, “I’m a Christian, I trust in God wholeheartedly and my needs will be met.” She added, “I do have savings, so I can go to the reserve, so to speak.”

Study: World not ready for aging population

By Kristen Gelineau The Associated Press

The world is aging so fast that most countries are not prepared to support their swelling numbers of elderly people, according to a global study being issued Tuesday by the United Nations and an elder rights group.

The report ranks the social and economic well-being of elders in 91 countries, with Sweden coming out on top and Afghanistan at the bottom. It reflects what advocates for the old have been warning, with increasing urgency, for years: Nations are simply not working quickly enough to cope with a population graying faster than ever before. By the year 2050, for the first time in history, seniors older than 60 will outnumber children younger than 15.

Truong Tien Thao, who runs a small tea shop on the sidewalk near his home in Hanoi, Vietnam, is 65 and acutely aware that he, like millions of others, is plunging into old age without a safety net. He wishes he could retire, but he and his 61-year-old wife depend on the $50 a month they earn from the shop. And so every day, Thao rises early to open the stall at 6 a.m. and works until 2 p.m., when his wife takes over until closing.

“People at my age should have a rest, but I still have to work to make our ends meet,” he says, while waiting for customers at the shop,

which sells green tea, cigarettes and chewing gum. “My wife and I have no pension, no health insurance. I’m scared of thinking of being sick — I don’t know how I can pay for the medical care.”

Thao’s story reflects a key point in the report, which was released early to The Associated Press: Aging is an issue across the world. Perhaps surprisingly, the report shows that the fastest aging countries are developing ones, such as Jordan, Laos, Mongolia, Nicaragua and Vietnam, where the number of older people will more than triple by 2050. All ranked in the bottom half of the index.

The Global AgeWatch Index (www.globalagewatch.org) was created by elder advocacy group HelpAge International and the U.N. Population Fund in part to address a lack of international data on the extent and impact of global aging.

The index, released on the U.N.’s International Day of Older Persons, compiles data from the U.N., World Health Organization, World Bank and other global agencies, and analyzes income, health, education, employment and age-friendly environment in each country.

The index was welcomed by elder rights advocates, who have long complained that a lack of data has thwarted their attempts to raise the issue on government agendas.

“Unless you measure something, it doesn’t really exist in the minds of decision-makers,” said John Beard,

director of Ageing and Life Course for the World Health Organization.

“One of the challenges for population aging is that we don’t even collect the data, let alone start to analyze it. … For example, we’ve been talking about how people are living longer, but I can’t tell you people are living longer and sicker, or longer in good health.”

The report fits into an increasingly complex picture of aging and what it means to the world.

On the one hand, the fact that people are living longer is a testament to advances in health care and nutrition, and advocates emphasize that the elderly should be seen not as a burden but as a resource.

On the other, many countries still lack a basic social protection floor that provides income, health care and housing for their senior citizens.

Afghanistan, for example, offers no pension to those not in the government. Life expectancy is 59 years for men and 61 for women, compared to a global average of 68 for men and 72 for women, according to U.N. data.

That leaves Abdul Wasay struggling to survive. At 75, the former cook and blacksmith spends most of his day trying to sell toothbrushes and toothpaste on a busy street corner in Kabul’s main market. The job nets him just $6 a day — barely enough to support his wife. He can only afford to buy meat twice a month; the family relies mainly on potatoes and curried vegetables.

“It’s difficult because my knees are weak and I can’t really stand for a long time,” he says. “But what can I do? It’s even harder in winter, but I can’t afford treatment.”

Although government hospitals are free, Wasay complains that they provide little treatment and hardly any medicine. He wants to stop working in three years, but is not sure his children can support him.

He says many older people cannot find work because they are not strong enough to do day labor, and some resort to begging.

“You have to keep working no matter how old you are — no one is rich enough to stop,” he says. “Life is very difficult.”

Many governments have resisted tackling the issue partly because it is viewed as hugely complicated, negative and costly — which is not necessarily true, says Silvia Stefanoni, chief executive of HelpAge International. Japan and Germany, she says, have among the highest proportions of elders in the world, but also boast steady economies.

“There’s no evidence that an aging population is a population that is economically damaged,” she says.

Prosperity in itself does not guarantee protection for the old. The world’s rising economic powers — the so-called BRICS nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — rank lower in the index than some poorer countries such as Uruguay and Panama.

5 hikers killed in Colorado rock slide

By P. Solomon Banda The Associated Press

BUENA VISTA, Colo. — A rock slide killed five hikers and injured a sixth as it demolished a popular beginners trail below one of Colorado’s most photographed mountains, causing so much destruction that rescuers had to wait a day to recover the victims’ bodies.

The Monday morning slide sent 100-ton boulders onto a viewing area to see Agnes Vaille falls in Chalk Creek Canyon below Mount Princeton, a 14,197-foot peak. Five hikers were killed, and a teenage girl was left with a broken leg and other injuries. She was rescued and flown to a Denver hospital.

Witnesses said some of the boulders were the size of cars.

Rescuers planned to wait until Tuesday afternoon to remove the bodies of the five who were killed, said Chaffee County department spokeswoman Monica Broaddus.

Engineers from the nearby Climax molybdenum mine were headed to site to advise on safely getting the bodies out.

The recovery was called off Monday evening because rocks continued to shift when the coroner

counted the fatalities, Broaddus said.

“The conditions are considered unstable,” Broaddus said.

There was no immediate identification of the victims or whether they were a single group. A female hiker who heard the slide ran down the

trail and called for help, said Chaffee County Undersheriff John Spezze.

The area had a rainy summer and a recent snowfall, said Chaffee County Undersheriff John Spezze. It was too soon to know whether the weather prompted the slide, which

left a football-field-sized gash in the mountainside, he said.

“It was totally unexpected. It caught everybody by surprise,” Spezze said.

The trail is one of the first hikes recommended to people new to the area and is also popular with tourists, said Margaret Dean, a regular hiker who has hiked the trail with her 7-year-old grandson.

Dean, a copy assistant at The Mountain Mail newspaper in Salida, said the trail is easily accessible and provides a view of the falls and the Chalk Creek Valley in the Collegiate Peaks, which contains many mountains over 14,000-feet tall.

Agnes Vaille, the waterfall’s namesake, was a Denver mountaineer who died in 1925 while attempting a difficult winter climb of Longs Peak, elevation 14,259 feet.

The U.S. Forest Service maintains the trail. Spezze said officials have asked the Forest Service for a permanent closure.

The Forest Service says the trail got medium to heavy usage. The trailhead lies across from Chalk Lake campground and is near the St. Elmo ghost town, a popular stop for tourists in Colorado’s central mountains.

Health: Changes won’t be affected by shutdown Continued from Page A-1 consumers, and most of their concerns don’t revolve around ideology and policy details.

People want to know if they can afford the premiums, if the coverage will be solid, where the bureaucratic pitfalls are and if new federal and state websites will really demystify shopping for health insurance. Full answers may take months.

Expect the rollout to get off to a slow start, with some bumps.

People who don’t have access to job-based health insurance can start shopping right away for subsidized private policies. Or they can wait to sign up as late as Dec. 15 and still get coverage by Jan. 1. Many will probably want to see how it goes for the first wave of applicants before they jump in.

Glitches are likely to pop up in the new online insurance markets. Over the weekend, several states were still struggling to get plan information to display accurately on their websites. Earlier, the federal government announced delays for small business and Spanish-language sign-ups. A protracted government shutdown could slow needed technology fixes.

Consumers also could run into problems getting their right subsidy amounts. People with complicated tax returns and extended families living under the same roof could find they need personal assistance to work out the issues. Referrals to state Medicaid programs might go smoothly in some states, not so well in others.

“As this unveils, it is going to be very clear that everything can’t be done on a computer,” Christine Ferguson, director of Rhode Island’s marketplace, said in an interview prior to the launch. “But by Day 60 to 120, and the year after that, it’s going to get a lot more user-friendly and effective.”

Eventually, at least half the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured people are expected to get coverage through the Affordable Care Act, either through subsidized private plans sold in the new markets or an expanded version of Medicaid in states accepting it for low-income adults. Immigrants in the country illegally will be the largest group remaining uninsured.

People who do have access to employer-based plans will also see changes. Starting Jan. 1, virtually all Americans will have a legal obligation to carry health insurance or face fines. Passing up the company medical plan in exchange for a bigger paycheck may no longer be an option. But employees who lose their jobs, entrepreneurs starting their own businesses and people in between school and work could have an easier time getting coverage.

Also as of Jan. 1, a pre-existing medical condition will no longer be a barrier to getting health insurance.

The partial government shutdown, driven by Republican opponents of increasing the federal role in health care, will not stop Obamacare. Core provisions and benefits are shielded from annual budget battles. If other government services

are shut down, the health care overhaul can largely keep going — much like Social Security and Medicare.

“Shutdown or no shutdown we’re ready to go,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Monday. Federally operated markets in 36 states open at 8 a.m.

Eastern time. The remaining states are running their own markets.

Polls show the country remains divided over the law, with opponents outnumbering supporters.

Nonetheless, a Kaiser Family Foundation survey released over the weekend found 56 percent of Americans disapprove of cutting off funding to expand coverage for the uninsured, as congressional Republicans are pressing to do.

The poll also found people in a fog about what the law means for them. Nearly three-fourths of the uninsured were unaware of the new insurance markets opening to serve them.

In states not expanding Medicaid, millions of uninsured people below the federal poverty level will likely be shut out of coverage. That’s the case in Texas and Florida — both of which have large uninsured populations — and in many, but not all, Republican-led states.

It’s because under the law, people below the poverty line — an individual making $11,490, a family of four $23,550 — can only get the new coverage through expanded Medicaid.

And the Supreme Court gave states the right to opt out.

The other arm of Obamacare’s coverage expansion — subsidized

private insurance through the new markets — is mainly geared to uninsured people in the middle class.

The administration is hoping to sign up 7 million the first year. Young, healthy adults are prime customers, since they’ll help offset the cost of caring for sicker people sure to sign up once insurers can no longer reject them.

Kevin Maass of Fairfax, Va., has been uninsured for more than a year, since he turned 26 and could no longer stay on his parents’ insurance. He’s got a background in statistics that he hopes to apply to criminology, but he’s been working temporary jobs while looking for permanent employment in law enforcement.

“Not having health insurance has made me a little bit more cautious,” said Maass. “I like to snowboard, but it’s given me second thoughts.

Heaven forbid I should break my wrist or my arm.”

Maass thinks he might be able to afford $100 to $200 a month for insurance. Early indications are that he’ll find plenty of options. However, plans with the lowest premiums will have high deductibles and copayments, which means sizable out-of-pocket costs if he gets sick or has an accident.

Nonetheless, Maass says he’s definitely planning to check out the health insurance market. “My parents have been pushing for me to get health insurance,” he said. “I might as well at least get something rather than pay [a fine] to not have anything.”

Agnew: Big proponent of nuclear weapons Continued from Page A-1 But when the atomic bomb was tested at Trinity Site in central New Mexico on July 16, 1945, Agnew was far away, preparing for the bombing of Japan.

On Aug. 6, 1945, he boarded a B-29 bomber that flew beside the Enola Gay that carried the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima that day. He brought along a 16-millimeter Bell & Howell movie camera that he used to record the scene.

‘There were no second thoughts about using the bomb,” he said in an interview in 1995. “But you have to be old enough to understand that.”

After the war, Agnew returned to the University of Chicago, where he earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in physics, then returned to Los Alamos to work on the development of the fusion, or hydrogen, bomb.

In 1954, he was photographed with a barracuda he caught in the Pacific during a break in preparing for the fusion explosion. Carr said Agnew later slipped the fish into the bed of the humorless test director as a joke. When asked years later why he did it, Carr said, Agnew responded, “Because there were no horses in the island.”

“He was a prankster — lot of fun,” Carr said of Agnew. “Harold was no fan of bureaucracy. He fought bureaucracy tooth and nail.”

Agnew served as a Democratic state senator from Los Alamos from 1955 to 1961. In 1964, he became head of the lab’s Weapons Nuclear Engineering Division.

In 1970, he was named as the lab’s third director, following J. Robert Oppenheimer and Norris Bradbury.

Carr said that during Agnew’s tenure as director, he had to deal with the first political backlash against atomic weapons and attempts to cut the lab’s budget. But while remaining a staunch proponent of nuclear weapons, he helped shepherd in underground weapons testing, built the Meson Physics Facility and acquired the lab’s first Cray supercomputers.

“When Harold came in, he created programs that didn’t have any connection to the weapons program,” Carr said. “He just believed that Los Alamos was really the best place to do big science. That’s the laboratory of today, so I really do think that Harold Agnew, during his directorship, invented what the laboratory is today.”

Agnew retired from the lab in 1978 to become president and CEO of General Atomics in San Diego, where he advocated for smaller, safer and lower maintenance reactors for the generation of electricity, until he retired from the firm in 1985. He became an adjunct professor at the University of California, San Diego, in 1987.

Even in retirement, Agnew remained a staunch defender of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. In 1991, he took The New Mexican to task for reporting the methods and routes of shipping nuclear materials in and out of Los Alamos. He remained confident that scientists should be trusted to proceed with their work.

A few years ago, when Agnew spoke at a lab symposium, he was asked what it was like to be at the world’s first nuclear chain reaction beneath a football stadium in Chicago. Carr recalled his response: “Well, it was Fermi’s experiment. We knew it was going to work. We went to lunch.”

His wife, Beverly Agnew, who was a secretary for Oppenheimer in wartime Los Alamos, died in 2011. Agnew is survived by a son, John Agnew; a daughter, Nancy Chapman, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Funeral services have not yet been announced.

Drivers raise red flag Bus operators report increase in motorists breaking stop law

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

A

n alarming number of motorists in Santa Fe seem ignorant of the law requiring them to come to a stop when a school bus is stopped in front of them and children are getting on and off. Or just plain irresponsible.

Drivers for Santa Fe Public Schools say some motorists seem embarrassed or surprised when they are reminded to stop. Others respond with rude hand gestures.

One driver says he parks his bus at a 45-degree angle to block cars from passing him.

The incidence is so disturbing that the school transportation department is considering asking drivers on its 70-some routes to start keeping records so that it can alert the school board, the city council and city police to the extent of the problem.

Santa Fe Police Community Relations officer Jennifer Sanchez said Friday that the department would consider setting up sting operations to catch motorists in the act, if the district requests it.

Driver Maria Francisco said that one day last year she watched in horror as a motorist drove by her stopped school bus and nearly hit a child on West Alameda Street.

According to school bus drivers, in the past few years there have been two cases involving motorists who ran into children getting on or off a bus, though neither resulted in a fatality.

A car drives past a Santa Fe Public School bus driven by Maria Romero while she is stopped on West Alameda Street dropping off students from Aspen Community Magnet School on Monday. Romero has noticed an increase of incidents like this.

According to a 2012 National Highway Transportation Safety Association report, about 24 children are killed in school bus accidents nationwide every year, about a third of whom are struck by motorists.

This year the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services released its Stop Arm Violation Survey, which notes that some 108,000 bus drivers from 29 states reported more than 85,000 cases in which vehicles illegally passed school buses in just one day.

New Mexico law requires that motorists approaching a school bus picking up or discharging students must stop their vehicles at least ten feet away and wait for the bus to resume motion.

Passing a stopped school bus carries a

$100 fine, but driver Edward Medina, a former police officer, said that unless police catch offenders in the act, there’s little they can do.

Two drivers, Brenda Sandoval and Bob Bourassa, watched with some satisfaction recently as police officers actually witnessed two such violations and pulled the offending motorists over.

Bourassa said indifferent motorists “scare the crap out of me.”

School buses have special signals to warn approaching motorists that the bus is stopping. The driver flashes yellow lights first, then red ones and drops the extended stop arm. But, as driver Phillip Montoya said, to a motorist in a hurry, yellow just means gun it for all it’s worth and speed on by before the light turns red.

The affidavit said the employee told police the father had been bleeding from his nose, that the mother “couldn’t keep her eyes open” and that the son’s face was swollen and he “acted very afraid” toward his father.

The employee then told police the father left the shop first and walked east along San Francisco Street, and he was followed a short time later by the mother and son.

The affidavit states that police examined the recovered phone and were able to call Love’s mother. She told police the family sometimes stayed in a Catron Street casita behind the Santa Fe office of Love’s law firm, McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya and Love.

The police noticed the sleeping child had a bright, red mark on his right cheek, the statement said. Officers asked Scovil and Love what happened, and they said they didn’t know. They insisted the marks weren’t biterelated and became “irate” when officers told them they planned to conduct a child abuse investigation.

Scovil started yelling and attempted to slap an officer, the document says, but police handcuffed him and escorted him outside. He insisted he didn’t bite his child, but later said he might have bit his son and that “he could not remember if he did bite his son,” according to the affidavit.

He was arrested and booked into Santa Fe County jail, where he was released on a $10,000 surety bond Sunday evening, according to the jail website.

New Mexicans can begin taking advantage of key portions of a federal health care law on Tuesday as the state launches a new marketplace for buying health insurance and the government-funded Medicaid program starts enrolling more low-income adults.

Under federal law, individuals and small businesses can start shopping Tuesday for health inside insurance from private u What to expect insurers through newly when applying for created health insurance insurance and how to exchanges. Insurance covavoid scams on the erage will start in January. exchange. PAge A-8 Although the exchange is intended as an online marketplace, New Mexicans also can enroll by telephone, in person at medical clinics and other sites and by mail.

Despite the federal government shutdown, enrollment also starts Tuesday for an expansion of Medicaid that also takes effect in January. The Human Services Department estimates that 133,400 low-income adults will be added to the program next year under terms of the federal Affordable Care Act. About a fourth of the state’s population already receives health care through the program.

New Mexico is operating its own exchange for small businesses but is initially relying on a federal website for enrolling individuals. However, individuals can go to the New Mexico exchange’s website (http://www.bewellnm.com/) and be automatically linked to the federal site.

The Spanish language version of the New Mexico exchange also is ready (https://seguroquesinm. com/), but it will be several weeks before the Spanish version of the federal government’s exchange can handle online enrollments.

“We’re all set to go here in New Mexico,” said Dr. J. R. Damron, a Santa Fe physician and chairman of the exchange’s governing board.

The state will have a toll-free telephone call center to provide assistance, even for New Mexicans who encounter problems with the federal website. The call center begins operations at 8 a.m. Tuesday at 1-855-99NMHIX, which is 1-855-996-6449.

Although Damron is optimistic about the state’s exchange, he’s concerned about the federal website that’s handling exchange responsibilities for three dozen states, including New Mexico.

“I worry that their system will crash,” Damron said.

It’s estimated that more than 80,000 New Mexicans will gain health care through the exchange next year.

Tax credits are available to certain individuals and businesses to help lower the cost of health care plans they buy from private insurers.

Individuals seeking insurance through the exchange will be checked to determine if they qualify for Medicaid. They will be enrolled in the program now if they meet current income eligibility thresholds or they’ll be added in January if they meet the new standards that are nearly four times higher.

Under the expansion, a single adult can qualify for Medicaid if they have income up to $15,288 a year. It’s $31,332 annually for a family of four. The state will operate a website (http://www.yes.state.nm.us) for people to enroll in Medicaid, and there will be a telephone hotline at 1-855-637-6574.

Staff from the New Mexico exchange will be in Santa Fe from 2:30 to 4:30, Oct. 2 at the Medical Dental Building, 465 Saint Michael’s Drive to help answer questions.

In brief

Man gets 9th DWI charge A Santa Fe police report says a 57-year-old New Mexico man was arrested Sunday night on his ninth charge of drunken-driving after he was stopped at a DWI checkpoint on Agua Fría Street at Siler Road.

Michael Baca, whose address wasn’t listed on jail records, also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without proof of insurance or registration.

Baca was charged in New Mexico with drunken driving in 1995, 1997 and 1998, according to the New Mexico Courts online database. A Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman said the five other arrests referred to in the police report could have occurred out of state.

Baca was one of four people arrested on drunkendriving charges at the checkpoint staffed by state and city police. Another person was arrested on charges of driving with a revoked or suspended license.

Today is Mary Lou Cook Day Mayor David Coss has proclaimed Oct. 1 “Mary Lou Cook Day” in honor of the 95-year-old local activist whose health is in decline.

“Mary Lou has been a mother a friend, a community activist on nuclear issues, the environment, women’s issues, politics and peace,” says the proclamation, which also notes the roles Cook played as a teacher, mediator, counselor, minister, author of 12 books, calligrapher, basket maker, tree planter and advocate for peace and justice.

Cook — who was profiled by The New Mexican when she turned 95 in April — also was the founder of what is now known as the Living Treasurers program, which honors community elders twice a year.

“Mary Lou reminds us that our job is to be happy and that we have all have a choice between living in peace or in fear,” the mayor’s proclamation reads.

Exchange could Homework involved in applying draw scammers HEALTH EXCHANGE

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Getting covered under President Barack Obama’s health care law might take you more than one sitting. In a media preview Monday, it felt like a cross between doing your taxes and making an important purchase that requires research.

“Nothing like this has ever existed before,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

You’ll need accurate income information for your household, plus some understanding of how health insurance works, so you can get the financial assistance you qualify for and pick a health plan that’s right for your needs.

The process involves federal agencies electronically verifying your identity, citizenship and income, and you have to sign that you are providing truthful information, subject to perjury laws.

You heard it was going to be like buying airline tickets online? Not quite. But even if it triggers some anxiety, it’s not the government poking into your medical records, as “Obamacare” foes have suggested.

After state health insurance markets open Tuesday, people who don’t have health care on the job can apply online, via a call center, in person or by mail. Trained helpers are supposed to be available, but there may not be enough of them in every state. Foreign language interpreters are available through the call centers.

The main steps are: u Identify yourself and your family members. u Provide current information on income, jobs and any available health insurance options. u Learn how much financial assistance you’re entitled to. u Shop for a health plan and enroll.

Many people will qualify for tax credits to help buy a private insurance plan. The government will send money directly to your insurer, and you’ll make arrangements to pay any remaining premium.

The poor and near-poor will be steered to Medicaid in states that agree to expand that program.

Here’s an overview of what to expect applying online, as well as some tips for the process: Go to healthcare.gov and click on “Get

Insurance.” The site has links to every state market. You’ll set up an account and password. You’ll provide your contact information and the best way to reach you.

Tip: Treat your password like a bank account or credit card password.

Now you can tackle the actual application. You’ll need birth dates and Social Security numbers for yourself and other family members listed on your federal tax return.

You’ll also be asked if you’re a citizen.

Legal immigrants will need their immigration documents.

Tip: You don’t have to plow through the entire application at once. You can save your work and come back later.

Next, you’ll be asked about income.

You may need your most recent tax return, pay stubs and details on other kinds of income, such as alimony, pensions and rents. You can still apply if you haven’t filed a tax return. You’ll also be asked about access to health insurance through your job.

You may be required to take that insurance if available.

Your personal and income details will be routed through a new government entity called the data services hub, which will ping agencies like Social Security, Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service for verification. The feds will also rely on a major private credit reporting company to verify income and employment.

How smoothly all this works is one of the big unknowns. It could get tedious if discrepancies take time to resolve.

Tip: Provide the most accurate estimate of your expected income for 2014. Lowball the number, and you might see a smaller tax refund in 2015. Overestimate, and you won’t get as big a tax credit now.

Most people applying will qualify for a tax credit to help pay premiums. The credits are based on your income and keyed to the premium for a benchmark plan known as the “second-lowest cost silver plan” in your area.

With your tax credit, you can finally shop for insurance. Be aware that you’ll probably have to live with your decision until the next annual enrollment period.

You’ll have up to four levels of coverage to consider: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Plans at every “metal level” cover the same benefits and have a cap of $6,350 a year in out-of-pocket expenses for an individual, $12,700 for families.

Bronze plans generally have the lowest premiums, but cover only 60 percent of medical costs on average. Policyholders will pay the difference, up to the annual out of pocket cap. Platinum plans have the highest premiums but cover 90 percent of costs. Young adults up to age 30 can pick a skinny “catastrophic” plan — but you can’t use your tax credit on a catastrophic plan.

Tip: Make sure your doctors and hospitals are in the plan you pick. You’ll have to check the plan’s own website, or better still, call your doctor.

Tip: Your share of the premium could be lower — even zero — if you apply your tax credit to a bronze plan. It’s because the credit is keyed to the cost of a silver plan, which is generally more expensive.

Tip: Check if you are eligible for “costsharing subsidies,” in addition to your tax credit. Extra help with out-of-pocket costs is available to people with modest incomes.

But only with a silver plan.

“Sometimes, the ladies just need someone to talk with or pray with,” she said. “We could also use help with child care, because a lot of times the only work the women are qualified for is as a waitress, or they have to work evening shifts at Walmart. There is no evening day care, and the kids need to be able to sleep in their own beds.”

Richard “Richie” Salazar, 27, Alcalde, September 25, 2013

JULIAN WENCEL RYMAR Julian Wencel Rymar was born on June 29, 1919 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

His Medical Studies at the University Of Michigan were interrupted when he answered the call for Volunteers to enroll in the Navy Aviation Flight Training Program at the beginning of World War II. He completed flight training in 1942 and was assigned to Anti-Submarine Patrol in the Atlantic. After a short deployment he was assigned as a flight instructor to a contingent of The British Royal Navy.

Increased Naval activity in the Pacific brought further assignments to Naval Air Squadrons there. A memorable note was taking War Correspondent Ernie Pyle on Pyle’s final assignment.

Julian remained in the Navy and Naval Reserve where he served as Squadron Commander, Assistant Wing Commander, Naval Air Station Administration Officer and Staff Command Liaison Officer for Admiral Dan Gallery. He retired as a Captain.

Upon Navy retirement, he became active in The Grace Company, a clothing manufacturing company in Belton, Missouri, where he remained until retiring as CEO. In 1954 he and Margaret Van Brunt of Kansas City, Missouri were married by Robert Nelson Spencer, Retired Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of West Missouri. The couple quickly found mutual interest in art, education and community affairs which they seriously pursued.

Julian had served on the Board of St. Luke’s Hospital; as trustee of the Missouri Valley Board Of Regents; as President Of The Friends Of Art, on the Board of Governors; and Society Of Fellows all of the William Rockhill Nelson Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri. He had been a member of the Arts Club of Washington, D.C.; Society of Professional Journalists {Sigma Delta Chi}; Brothers of Mercy; President of the Navy League of Greater Kansas City, Mo.; Military Order of The World Wars; Quiet Birdmen; University Of Michigan Club; American Bank Board; St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, where he had served as Senior Warden, Junior Warden, Lay Chalice, Parish Investment Board, and Member of the 1st St. Paul’s School Board.

In 1987 Julian and Margaret retired to Santa Fe, New Mexico where they became members of Holy Faith Episcopal Church.

Julian and Margaret have three daughters: Ann Rymar Johnson Of Shawnee Mission, Kansas.Missouri, Gracen Rymar Fraser of New Rochelle, New York, and Gibson Rymar Wilkes of Falmouth, Maine; and six grandchildren: Maren, Bradford Jr., Allie and husband Walker, Caroline, Nicholas, Emily; “special daughter”, Margrit Vettiger of Forch, Switzerland; niece, Cynthia DeVries of Dyer, Indiana; and nephew, Mark Rickers of Warmister, Pennsylvania.

The family would like to express their gratitude for the loving care given to Julian by Rocio Rodriguez, Patti Schwartz, El Castillo, and Hospice Compassus.

A Mass of the Resurrection in celebration of the life of Julian Rymar will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at The Church of the Holy Faith Episcopal Church at 12:00 pm. The burial will be held at Santa Fe National Cemetery with full military honors.

Memorial contributions may be made to Holy Faith Church, Santa Fe, NM, or St. Benedict’s Monastery, Snowmass, CO, or El Castillo of Santa Fe or Hospice Compassus of Alberquerque, NM.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Teacher transfer offer draws criticism, Sept. 22 This is an insult to the teaching profession to think that a teacher is the ‘salvation’ of a D or F school. The thinking of PED and our governor is that everything is black and white. That a teacher from an A school has it all together and can ‘save’ a D or F school — that is baloney. Teachers are all for accountability. Bring it on! We do have ineffective teachers, I work with some. It is the job of the administration to put them on plans of improvement or to let them go.

It is not the job of the state to do this. Let’s develop a system of accountability that is fair and just ! Not by executive order or bullying tactics. I love my D school.

I love my students. I will keep on working still the day I can retire with my head held high. Come see my hardworking school. We work hard every day, yet no one seem to notice.” T.H.

“

You hit the nail on the head! You put the best “ teachers on the planet in those failing school and

they will still be failing schools. The reason is that almost none of these kids have parents who give a damn about their role in forming their child’s interest in learning. Many of these parents dropped out and their attentions are now either on the many menial jobs they have to have in order to support their families. This is a cultural crisis in some areas. How do you fix that?” A.V.

MY VIEW: SARA BERGER

Independent PACs good for election

T

here seems to be critical misunderstandings surrounding independent expenditure political committees in Santa Fe. Public financing of elections (a step forward for Santa Fe) and independent expenditure committees (an opportunity for individuals to participate in elections) legally co-exist in countless jurisdictions in our country.

The Santa Fe New Mexican’s recent editorial (“PACs wrong for city races,” Sept. 25) misses the boat about the role independent expenditures play in local elections. The paper seems to understand, but fails to acknowledge, that every public financing law in the United States that has been drafted, debated and passed has specifically contemplated independent expenditure political committees (referred to

by The New Mexican as “PACs,” although that term also includes committees that coordinate with and contribute directly to candidates). It is well established, since the landmark Supreme Court Buckley v. Valeo decision in 1976, that the First Amendment gives individuals the constitutionally pro-

tected right to participate in the electoral process. In my opinion, that can be a very good thing.

Another recent publication on the same topic was also misleading readers by failing to admit that these committees operate independently from candidates. By definition they cannot coordinate their messaging, platform, or targeting with candidates.

As the Buckley Court noted “[u]nlike contributions, such independent expenditures may well provide little assistance to the candidate’s campaign, and indeed may prove counterproductive. The absence of prearrangement and coordination of an expenditure with the candidate or his agent not only undermines the value of the expenditure to the candidate, but also alleviates the danger that expenditures will be given as a quid pro quo for improper commitments from the candidate.”

The New Mexican decries the involvement of a “pro-labor” voice in Santa Fe’s municipal election but fails to explain why workers should be shamed from holding their elected leaders accountable.

It is true that election laws are murky at times, and there is the potential for the wealthiest of speakers (i.e., large for profit corporations) to drown out the voices of local residents and civic organizations. But it is not the role of the publicly financed candidate — or the newspaper — to bully individuals and groups to keep quiet.

There are clear municipal laws that govern PAC activity. Even those groups that spend only hundreds of dollars in the Santa Fe election must declare their position and must report their contributions and expenditures on a regular basis.

Santa Fe might experience some growing pains as it learns how public financing and independent committees co-exist. But we are all better off when we have a more engaged and informed electorate. Like all elections, the one coming up in March is important. There will be a lot of players with divergent opinions debating critical issues facing Santa Fe’s future. There is a rightful place for everyone’s voice.

Sara Berger is a nonprofit, election and First Amendment attorney in Albuquerque.

Human Services secretary under fire for ‘hunger’ gaffe, Sept. 25 No one should, even for 10 seconds, believe the absurd Republican spin that the email was ‘poorly worded.’ She knew exactly what she was saying.

What is incredibly sad is that the poor, deluded woman believes what she wrote. What is equally incredibly sad is that the poor, deluded governor is defending her, instead of immediately firing her.” J.T.

“

Send this Ms. Sidonie Squier to me — I will show “ her the number of people who show up at office

needing help to feed children. Good people who want to work and provide for their families, without a job, what can they do? Send her to a school and let her ask children how many of them went to bed with little or ood. What is she doing in that position if she has that attitude?” E.C.

‘Poorly worded’ must be a new euphemism for “ ‘egregiously, inexcusably wrong.’ It’s hard to keep up with changing slang expressions.” J.M.

New Mexico health exchange premiums below national average, Sept. 25 Mine will be cheaper and so will a lot of people I know professionally and personally. The Affordable Care Act [the real name] works despite all the negative press and Republican drama queens. That bozo [Sen. Ted] Cruz goes on and on about how members of his party are traitors, and then he signs the bill himself when nobody is looking. Yay for affordable health care for everyone — including immigrants!”

M.M.

“

Health plans might cost less, but the fact still remains, if you don’t have health insurance now because you can’t afford it, how is that situation going to change under Obamacare? If you received health care insurance as a perk of employment, and now your employer now has you working under 30 hours a week, and you lose this perk of employment, how is this making getting health care insurance any cheaper or affordable?” D.M.

When you have the unions agreeing with Republi“ cans that this is a bad plan, I am not sure how anyone can argue there is anything good about it.” G.A.

Five & Dime Frito pie fans dispute Bourdain’s crack about canned chile, Sept. 27 I associate the beloved Frito pie with trips to Woolworth’s and the Plaza with my grandma when I was a child. They were a luxury then and became something I looked forward to along with the nickel she gave to spend if we were good. … The few times I make it back to Santa Fe, the Five & Dime is always on the list, as is a Frito pie for my kids. It’s not about the health aspects of the snack, nor is it about the cuisine or where it came from (although I will argue that the chile taste is distinctive and definitely Tex Mex), it’s about passing on the wonderful tradition to my children along with stories. As for Señor Anthony Bourdain, meh, dude it’s a Frito pie. Chill.” A.G.

“

I agree with Mr. Anthony Bourdain when he says “ the Frito Pie in the Five & Dime tastes like mass-

produced chile. I’ve had one recently and it was gross!

They may get offended, but that pie hasn’t tasted the same since Woolworth left! Cry all you want, but it’s true. But I disagree that we should give this one to Texas! If you make or have your mom make fresh New Mexico chile, you use real cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, you will rock anything that comes out of anywhere else who claims to have the superior Frito pie.” C.V.

Starting now: Health care access is here

I

f you have ever felt health care was beyond your reach, now is your time.

If it was too expensive or if you had a medical problem that prevented you from getting insurance, now is your time.

If you lived in fear of losing all you have because of huge medical bills you couldn’t afford, now is your time.

Because starting now, New Mexicans have the chance to sign up for health care through the new Health Insurance Exchange.

What does this mean for you?

It means today, you can go on to the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange at www.bewellnm.com and sign up for health coverage that will begin on Jan. 1, 2014.

It means that if you are under Medicare age (65) and earn too much to receive Medicaid, you will qualify for additional funding to help defray the costs of covering you and your family.

It means that not only can you no longer be denied coverage because of past medical conditions, health plans also can’t charge you more because of those past conditions.

The Affordable Care Act is changing American health care to be more affordable for you. Whether you love it or hate it, two things are now true: It is the law of

the land, and New Mexicans are waking up today with many more affordable health care choices than they had on Sept. 30.

As with anything new, we know implementation of health reform and the exchange is not going to happen without a few bumps in the road. But as someone with more than 30 years of experience in health care — as a doctor, as a member of the Exchange Board and as CEO of the state’s new nonprofit health plan — I see this day as a huge opportunity for New Mexicans to start living healthier and more secure lives.

At New Mexico Health Connections we are a key part of the improvement of American health care. We are one of 23 consumer oriented and operated health plans (co-ops) established nationwide to bring access and affordable health care to the market. We do things to make health care easier. Our benefit plans are built around primary care providers and keeping people healthy.

As an example of this commitment to keeping people healthy, we will not require copayments for many medications used by people with chronic illnesses. This will help people avoid unnecessary and costly hospitalizations. Also, because we are a nonprofit, any profits we make must be shared with our members in the form of lower costs,

improved quality and expanded benefits.

We are local to New Mexico — built here to serve New Mexicans. We are an innovative new option, created for the health care realities of the 21st century.

It’s hard to argue that more competition and a nonprofit health-plan alternative are not a good thing for most New Mexicans.

Our mission is simple: to offer New Mexicans affordable coverage and to help them work with their doctors to become more proactive about their health and wellness so that they can lead healthier, happier lives.

So, as you take some time in the coming days to think about your family’s health care options, I invite you to visit the Health Insurance Exchange website at www. bewellnm.com; and while you’re at it, check out our website at www.mynmhc. org. Start investigating what this change can mean for you.

Of course, with change come questions.

But if you’re like me, you also recognize that change also can bring great opportunity. And for New Mexicans, that opportunity is finally putting affordable health coverage within their reach.

Martin Hickey is CEO of New Mexico Health Connections and a member of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange board of directors.

Changes to assessment don’t make sense

“J

ohnny” was a teen when gravely injured during a high school football game. After brain surgery, weeks in a coma and a decade of recovery, he still cannot state his birthdate, his IQ stays in the 50s, he does not drive, his brain will not form new memories.

Yet, his status as beneficiary of support through the “DD” waiver — something he relied on for over a decade — was recently terminated. Why? Apparently because Johnny scored too high on something called the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS), a checklist now used in New Mexico to decide how much support those with Intellectual Disability (mental retardation) can receive. In other words, Johnny scored too high on his

recent SIS assessment, which is why he got bumped off the DD waiver.

So what is the deal with this SIS assessment? It must be good if our state uses it.

Actually, SIS scores are only accurate if the source of the information is credible.

Thus, if Johnny was asked what he can and cannot do — making him the source of the information — the scores would be meaningless. Recall, this is a young man who cannot remember his own birthdate.

Hence, whoever fills out the SIS checklist must undoubtedly know the individual in question.

I do not know what person or group of people rated Johnny and, effectively, got him removed from the DD waiver — but I would like to know. And I would also like to

know why people like Johnny are being reassessed using methods that — so far as I can tell — are yielding results that do not mesh with a five-hour neuropsychological evaluation. Therefore, I am humbly asking that the paper investigate this: What recent legislation caused this? Who initiated it? And just how low does a person with Intellectual Disability have to score on this SIS assessment to continue receiving help from our state?

COMMENTARY: JENNIFER RUBIN

Beware of the minority disconnect

T

here are two views as to why characters such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and groups including Heritage Action insist that the Republican Party follow them out on a limb time and again.

One is that this is a cynical system of people fattening their coffers and seeking airtime. That’s why the avalanche of fundraising letters from FreedomWorks and other right-wing groups revved up the instant Cruz took the Senate floor Tuesday. It’s a well-oiled machine fueled by resentment and constant disappointment.

The other explanation assumes that these people are all earnest, selfless and just terribly out to lunch.

It’s easy for smart people to become convinced of political “truths” that are fantasy. What we’re talking about is the disconnect between conservative media and conservative electoral success.

Consider that in 2012 about 125 million people voted for president. What can be the political universe for a conservative cable TV host or magazine is minuscule when it comes to a winning electorate.

The top radio talk show hosts may get 10 million or 15 million listeners. The idea that they are representative of the electorate, the GOP as a whole or all conservatives is silly. Their audience is intense but, in electoral terms, tiny.

When things don’t turn out as planned, excuses must be found (e.g., the mainstream media, weak-kneed Republicans). But the more accurate answer is often that these

This disparity is seen again and again in the stark contrast between the hard-line views in conservative media and national polling on immigration, the government shutdown and more. Yes, in some very conservative states and districts, the conservative media may be closer to the norm of all voters, but you can’t build a national party on only super-red congressional districts and Southern states.

The problem extends to lawmakers. A senator may get 2,000 calls or tweets com-

plaining about a certain position. That could be far less than 1 percent of his or her electorate. Those tweets and calls can be intimidating, and it sure seems like a lot of people are upset, but it isn’t a useful guide to understanding the voting population. For that, you need reliable polling, onthe-ground familiarity with constituents and a network of reliable voices to act as an early-warning system.

I bring this up because consumers of conservative media listen, watch and read people who presume to tell them what “America thinks”

and what “Republicans want.”

Someone like Cruz says he is the embodiment of American conservatism. Sometimes such a person presents a true measure of the electorate.

But a lot of the time he or she doesn’t, as I’ve frequently written on immigration. Taking all of it too seriously is a mistake, and it suggests to the base that if only you speak and write clearly and loudly enough, America will accept a very, very conservative agenda. It just isn’t so.

City triathlon showcases amazing effort

T

he recent sixth annual city of Santa Fe Triathlon and the second annual Kids Triathlon were held last month. Both were tremendous successes. Around 260 adults participated and 113 kids participated.

The kids’ event was the greatest: cute, fun and safe. Cheers to the staff of the Genoveva Chavez Community Center who worked so hard to make it possible for us big kids and little kids to play at the sport of triathlon. Cheers to our race director, Liza Suzanne, for her amazing leadership. Kudos to the all the sponsors and agencies that contributed their time, efforts and money to make this event possible. Thanks to Rio Grande School for its support in hosting the kids’ event.

The sport of triathlon promotes health, fitness, family and community. It is fantastic that the city of Santa Fe is embracing these concepts. Cheers to Mayor David Coss for his support and for being a participant again this year. Sporting events like this promote and foster life style choices that are positive ways for families to be and stay healthy.

The New Mexico Corrections Department, in an effort to be good neighbors, actually stopped pulling water from the aquifer earlier this year. We took it upon ourselves to connect to the county water supply. We didn’t ask taxpayers to pick up the tab but tightened our belt to cover the cost of using county water.

Sidonie Squier committed no “gaffe” as this paper’s headline euphemistically stated, nor did she write a “poorly worded” email as she further lied when failing to excuse her duplicity (“Squirer blasted over ‘hunger’ gaffe,” Sept. 26). No, Squier falsely distorted human facts when she wrote that “there has never been and is not now any significant evidence of hunger in New Mexico.” The “significant evidence” she disdains are human beings, the significantly hungry children and adults being served by food services, such as The Food Depot, in addition to those people not yet served. Squier’s miserable mendacity diminishes, slightly, only when you consider her motive, a shameful political motive neither admitted nor acknowledged by Squire or Gov. Susana Martinez, who appointed Squier to serve as Secretary of the Department of Human Services. Human Services!

ystery fans and lovers of the Southwest are celebrating today.

Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Sgt. Jim Chee are back, starring in another Hillerman mystery.

This time, the Hillerman is Anne, carrying on the legacy of her celebrated father, Tony.

Through his books on the two Navajo police officers, the Southwest took its place on the international stage, displaying the culture and ways of the Navajo as well as showing the complex mix of Anglo, Indian and Spanish that occupies our corner of the world. Readers worried about whether Leaphorn’s wife, Emma, would get better, or whether Chee would move off and join the FBI at the behest of a girlfriend. Emma died, but Leaphorn’s strength in his sorrow became another important element of the stories, as did Chee’s realization that he belonged on the reservation and his surrender, finally, to the charms of Bernadette Manuelito.

With Spider Woman’s Daughter, Anne Hillerman breathes new life into the characters her father nurtured for 18 best-selling mysteries. Hillerman, a Santa Fe resident, is a well-known nonfiction author, food reviewer and journalist (like her dad, she even worked at The New Mexican once upon a time. Tony Hillerman, of course, once was editor of this newspaper.)

Reviving a series — especially one so popular — is a brave undertaking. Given early reviews and Hillerman’s familiarity with her father’s work, it appears that she has succeeded, which is not a surprise to people familiar with her work. She promises a more prominent role for Bernadette, now Mrs. Jim Chee, and continued attention to detail and authenticity that made these books so popular. She’ll be reading from her book at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, followed by a private fundraiser for the Friends of the Santa Fe Pubic Library.

Out today, perfect for reading on a chilly fall evening, Spider Woman’s Daughter. We can’t wait to catch up with old friends.

A gun-toting revelation

U

nder the category of legal but dumb: The visit of Martin Vosseller to the State Capitol earlier this year, complete with a loaded AR-15 assault rifle and a holstered hand gun. Carried openly,

of course.

Turns out, it’s legal to stay locked and loaded in the Capitol, so long as the weapons are out in the open. Vosseller, a technical sergeant in the Air Force, videotaped his visit.

That video has generated thousands of hits online. He’s absolutely in the right, legally speaking.

Still, it’s dumb to allow loaded weapons in the Capitol.

Gun owners don’t get to carry loaded assault rifles openly into court. They should not have the right to tote them around the Capitol. (We do have to say, however, that Vosseller does a good job of explaining the current state of regulations, and Capitol staff and state police officers responded beautifully to what could have been an uncomfortable or tense situation.)

Now, let’s stop — whether by policy or statute — guns from entering the Capitol in the arms of citizens. Rights are not absolute, even the right to carry a weapon.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Oct. 1, 1963: New Mexico’s first case of polio during 1963 was reported today by the state health department. The case was diagnosed in a 3-year-old Grants child. The child actually contracted the disease in July, but the report to the state health department was delayed, pending the result of laboratory tests.

Oct. 1, 1988: If you’re partial to federal statistics, go ahead and call it “greater” Santa Fe. It’s only semiofficial, but depending on whether you favor federal crystal balls or more localized versions, the Santa Fe County area population is probably somewhere between 90,000 and 111,000. The U.S. Census Bureau favors the larger number and bases its count on compilations going back to July 1987. The count also is based on the populations of “central cities and surrounding areas tied to them economically.” The U.S. Census Bureau announced the figure, showing an increase of more than 23,000 since its 1986 estimate.

TELEVISION COMMENTARY

‘Breaking Bad’ ends, but many lessons linger

By Frazier Moore

The Associated Press

NEW YORK unday’s Breaking Bad turned out the lights on one of the darkest shows in television history.

Even as this drama cooked up storylines that celebrated evil and depravity, Breaking Bad gleamed with a bright side, too. There were plenty of positive messages for the viewer who acknowledged them during the series’ fiveseason run. Here are 10 lessons Breaking Bad leaves behind:

S

Stay in school and study hard As Walter White demonstrated after he ditched teaching for producing crystal meth, you can make millions from a subject like chemistry that far too many youngsters (including Mr. White’s bored students) find annoying and useless. Walt (aka drug lord Heisenberg) proved otherwise with his storage shed of money.

Chemistry has its everyday applications The next time you dispose of a corpse with hydrofluoric acid, all you devoted Breaking Bad viewers will know not to dissolve the body in a bathtub, but instead in a plastic container. You learned this valuable tip in Season 1, when Walt’s lab assistant Jesse Pinkman disregarded his instructions and regretted it. The acid memorably dissolved through the bathtub and floor at Jesse’s house, leaving a bloody mess in the hallway downstairs. You won’t make that mistake.

Steve Jobs knew it. Jeff Bezos knows it. Walt White serves as a mythical champion of their kind of acumen: Offer a better product with an obvious advantage, and the world (or, anyway, addicts who loved Walt’s super-potent “blue sky” crystal meth) will beat a path to your door.

The police come closer to learning the truth about the robbery in the new episode “Inside Job.” Summer Bishil and Lorraine Bruce also star.

If financially strapped schoolteacher Walt White had had better health care when he got his cancer diagnosis, maybe he wouldn’t have begun cooking meth to help cover his expenses. Meanwhile, his longterm problem

— leaving his family provided for after his death — might have been a non-issue had teachers in his district been better paid.

Family is oh, so important Breaking Bad reminds you that entering the drug trade and messing with the wrong people in it can lead to your wife and teenage son despising you.

Need a lift? Try a personal makeover If you’re stuck in a rut, like Walter White at the start of Breaking Bad, consider a new look. Shave your head, grow a tidy, I-mean-business beard and fit yourself with a black pork pie hat. Then come up with a new name. Like Heisenberg. In your new identity, people will fear you and you’re sure to go far.

Keep your vehicles in good running order A regular checkup to keep Walt’s rolling meth lab in tiptop shape would have spared him and Jesse inconvenience, not to mention mortal danger.

Best to keep a very shrewd lawyer on call Especially if you mean to routinely break the law.

Sure, he may be a sleazebag and a shameless self-promoter.

But a lawyer like Saul Goodman is worth his weight in hundred-dollar bills to a client like Walter White, whom he represented faithfully, if more than often sarcastically. With his mastery of trade practices — legal and illegal — Saul was the most impressive TV lawyer since Perry Mason.

Finish what you start It’s never good to leave hanging important tasks. Walt is a shining example of a guy determined to tie up loose ends. That was part of why the Breaking Bad finale was so good.

Follow your bliss And be willing to forge a different path getting there.

Walter White discovered this lesson. Vince Gilligan demonstrated its wisdom in real life by creating Breaking Bad, a radically different series. So did AMC execs by airing what turned out to be perhaps the best drama of all time. How many other networks are willing to learn?

Hank Schrader, played by Dean Norris, foreground, and Steven Gomez, played by Steven Michael Quezada, are shown in episode from the fifth season of Breaking Bad. There are lessons to be learned from the show.

Rays head to playoffs again

LeBron James: ‘I got better’

By Tim Reynolds

The Associated Press

MIAMI — LeBron James is not saying much of anything about next season. The second edition of “The Decision” is still nine months away, and the four-time NBA MVP is all too aware of the already-incessant buzz about what uniform he will be wearing a year from now.

He’s not interested in talking about that.

There’s more important matters to tend to first, he said Monday, on the eve of the formal start to his fourth training camp with the Miami Heat.

And in between getting married, taking some time off and globetrotting about tending to business interests this summer, James offered the following assessment of his basketball abilities since he was last seen carrying his team to a win in Game 7 of the NBA Finals: “I got better,” James said. “I’m a better basketball player than I was last year, in every aspect.”

Let the new season begin.

With mostly the same faces — the notable changes are the amnestymandated departure of Mike Miller, along with the additions of Greg Oden, Michael Beasley and Roger Mason Jr. to vie for spots in an already-jammed Heat rotation — Miami gathered as a team for the first time Monday, one day before training camp opens in the Bahamas.

And as typically is the case with the Heat, there’s plenty of story fodder.

EW ORLEANS — Drew Brees reminded a national audience why he’s becoming Mr. Monday Night, and gave the Miami Dolphins another reason to regret not making a harder push to sign him when they had the chance seven years ago.

Brees passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and the Saints turned a clash of unbeaten teams into a lopsided affair, beating the Miami Dolphins 38-17 on Monday night.

Two of Brees’ touchdowns went to Jimmy Gra-

ham for 27 and 43 yards as the tight end had at least 100 yards receiving for the third straight game.

Brees’ other scoring strikes went to Benjamin Watson and Darren Sproles, who also rushed for a touchdown.

Sproles’ 5-yard scoring run on the game’s opening series gave the Saints a lead they would not relinquish en route to their first 4-0 start since their Super Bowl championship season of 2009.

Ryan Tannehill passed for 249 yards and a touchdown to Charles Clay, but his four turnovers on a fumble and three interceptions hurt Miami (3-1).

The Saints have won their last nine Monday

night games, all with Brees at quarterback and often putting on some of his most memorable performances in the process.

There was his 307-yard, four-TD performance against Atlanta late in the 2011 season, the same game in which he broke Dan Marino’s 27-year-old record for yards passing in a season.

NHL PREVIEW

New rules, new roles; can ‘Hawks repeat?

By John Wawrow

The Associated Press

Enjoy the Stanley Cup-banner raising ceremony for as long as possible, Chicago.

Once the puck drops to usher in the new NHL season in Chicago, Montreal and Edmonton on Tuesday, recent history suggests someone other than the Blackhawks will be hoisting the Cup in June. The 1997-98 Detroit Red Wings stand as the league’s last franchise to repeat as champions.

“You’ve got players moving all the time now. The competition level is good or bet-

ter than ever before,” TV analyst and former coach Pierre McGuire said. “And the ultimate thing is we haven’t had NHL expansion in almost 12 or 14 years now.

“And because of that, the talent bucket is full.”

Despite that, McGuire thinks Chicago has as good a chance as any to repeat fresh off a lockout-shortened season.

“I believe we can start to use the ‘D’ word with Chicago’s dynasty,” he said of a franchise that’s won two of the past four titles.

Olczyk, however, noted several obstacles facing Chicago.

Namely? The Olympics. Chicago could have as many as 14 players competing at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

“When you throw in the Olympic break,” Olczyk said. “It’s going to be very taxing.”

One step at a time, said Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, whose team opens against Washington.

“We want to put ourselves, come playoff time, to be that team that can compete for it

sPoRts PREP ROUNDUP

Single goal scores win for Desert Academy

The New Mexican

Santa Fe’s Alto Park was the site of a boys and girls prep soccer doubleheader Monday between Monte del Sol and Desert Academy.

The district rivals split the pair with the Monte del Sol boys winning their match and the Desert Academy girls escaping with a win.

GIRLS SOCCER DeseRt AcADemy 1, monte Del sol 0 Chloe Clemens scored the only goal of the match in the 16th minute of the first half when her penalty kick beat the Lady Dragons’ goalkeeper to break the scoreless tie.

Both teams had their chances from that point, each just missing on would-be goals.

In the end, it was Lady Wildcats goalie Rose Valenzuela emerging with the shutout victory. She recorded five saves behind a defensive lineup that saw more girls shuttled into positions they don’t typically play.

The most significant move was Katie

Wheeler sliding from her usual rightmidfielder spot into that of sweeper. The move was necessitated after an injury or two prompted head coach Niki Wheeler to sacrifice some offense in place of a more coordinated approach on defense.

“Usually Katie is out there setting up a lot of our offense for us, but we didn’t really have a choice,” Wheeler said. “We only have 14 kids on the roster and today we had two subs which is kind of unusual for us. We might have zero or one.”

The goal by Clemens was set up just seconds before when she had a run down the side and was ruled to have been tackled in the box. The infraction drew an automatic penalty kick, which she converted.

Desert Academy improves to 7-5 overall and 1-2 in 2A-AAA. The Lady Wildcats head to East Mountain on Wednesday.

BOYS SOCCER monte Del sol 6, DeseRt AcADemy 2 Luis Lozoya had himself a day.

The Dragons’ senior scored five of his team’s six goals in the 2A-AAA victory,

scoring four times in the first half as Monte del Sol built a commanding 5-1 lead at halftime. He finished his afternoon with another goal in the second half.

He now has 16 goals and 39 points in 11 matches for the Dragons (7-4, 2-2).

Desert Academy got both of its goals from senior forward Sudi Torres.

“We’ve got an outstanding goalkeeper [Jasper Grossman] but Lozoya took some shots that there was nothing anyone could do anything about,” said Wildcats head coach Rob Lochner. “He had some amazing shots, the kind where he’d the ball on a dime and just rip it past you.”

Monte del Sol head coach Mazatl Galindo said Lozoya is one of those players who, when he’s in the right frame of mind, is unstoppable when he gets hot. And on Monday, he was on fire.

Grossman finished with six saves, but it was tough for him to stop Lozoya because the Dragons’ leading scorer kept getting the kind of open looks most shooters dream about.

The loss drops Desert Academy to 4-6 overall and 0-3 in 2A-AAA.

Rays: Cruz’s return not enough for Rangers Continued from Page B-1 winner, had a 10.26 ERA in four previous starts at Rangers Ballpark. He was superb in this one, striking out four and walking one. He picked off two runners while allowing seven hits and throwing 81 of 118 pitches for strikes.

“When you can get outs without throwing pitches that’s always huge,” Price said. “If I don’t get those two outs on the pickoff moves, I have to get the next guys out. It forces me to throw at least 10 more pitches.”

The 28-year-old lefty reached 10 wins for the fifth straight season. He missed more than six weeks because of a triceps strain but is 9-4 in his 13 starts since returning July 2 from his first career stint on the disabled list.

Texas had won seven in a row, needing every one of those wins just to force the majors’ first wild-card tiebreaker since 2007.

Even with the return of AllStar slugger Nelson Cruz from his 50-game drug suspension, the Rangers missed a chance to get to the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.

“I’m disappointed. We didn’t get it done,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “I’ve got no excuse for that.”

Cruz, who had 27 homers and 76 RBIs in 108 games before his suspension, was 0 for 4 with a strikeout while hitting sixth as the designated hitter. His groundout to shortstop ended the game.

The Rays had runners at first and second with two outs in the seventh when Delmon Young, who put the Rays ahead to stay with a sacrifice fly in the first, hit a soft flyball.

Center fielder Leonys Martin made a running, diving play to catch the ball. Replays showed clearly that the ball bounced into Martin’s glove. But third base umpire Ron Kulpa, looking at the play from the side,

ruled it an inning-ending catch.

Young rounded first base with his arms spread out signaling safe. Maddon went out to talk to Kulpa, though the conversation didn’t appear heated.

When the Rays played at Texas on April 8, the fourth game of the season for both teams, their 5-4 loss ended when plate umpire Marty Foster called a third strike against Ben Zobrist on a pitch low and outside.

The ump later admitted the 2-2 curveball wasn’t a strike and he wouldn’t call that pitch a strike if he could do it again.

The Texas win and closer Joe Nathan’s 300th career save stood.

Maddon said after that game that such calls “can’t be made in a Major League Baseball game.” The Rays still had a runner on base and Longoria on deck when Zobrist was called out.

MLB intends to use

expanded video review next year.

The Rangers had beaten Tampa Bay in the AL division series in 2010 and 2011 on way to their only two World Series.

It was the second year in a row their season ended in a do-ordie game at home — they lost to Baltimore in the first AL wild-card game last October.

Tampa Bay and Texas are the only teams in the majors to win at least 90 games in each of the last four seasons.

In 2011, the Rays had to overcome a nine-game deficit the final month of the season and were down seven runs in their 162nd game of the season. They got to the playoffs after Longoria’s game-ending homer in the 12th inning to beat the New York Yankees.

The first four hitters in the game against rookie left-hander Martin Perez (10-6) combined for three singles and a walk, and yet the Rays still didn’t have a run.

James: Some already looking to next year Continued from Page B-1 once again, Ray Allen and Chris Andersen came back on deals that would be considered bargains, Beasley is trying to resuscitate a career that started with so much promise in Miami five years ago and an oft-injured Oden is simply trying to get his going.

But the one talking point that will overshadow all others this season, even with James trying to win a fifth MVP and the Heat looking to join the rarefied club of teams who have reached the Finals in four consecutive years, is what will happen next summer. That’s when James, Wade and Chris Bosh all can opt out, become free agents on July 1 and pos-

sibly leave Miami.

“It’d be different if we had a young ball club that pretty much didn’t know how to handle the media and got suckered into questions,” James said. “We have a veteran ballclub that’s heard everything, that’s seen everything and it won’t be a problem.

Guys understand where I stand and that’s all that matters.”

So, as for where he stands …

“I don’t think anybody is looking to go elsewhere. …

We all know inside our locker room that LeBron’s committed to this team,” Wade said.

James remains convinced that he made the right decision when he chose Miami in 2010 after seven years in Cleveland, and has given no indication

that he is plotting his escape from South Florida. He said there’s no need to talk about what’ll happen next summer, though Spoelstra plans to at least give it a cursory mention.

The Heat message, as conveyed by both players and coach on Monday, was simple: Winning it all again this season is the only real plan.

“What we have is a tremendous opportunity and we have a very highly motivated group of guys in that locker room and they understand what we’re playing for,” Spoelstra said.

“That excites me.”

Wade was even more succinct.

“I think we understand the team that we have and

understand this is a once-ina-lifetime opportunity for us,” Wade said.

Perhaps overshadowed by James’ Game 7 performance against San Antonio in last season’s finals — he had 37 points and 12 rebounds, plus hit the jumper with 27.9 seconds left that essentially clinched the title for Miami — was the miracle finish in Game 6.

Allen’s 3-pointer late in regulation capped a frantic rally in a game the Heat ultimately won in overtime.

James watched Game 6 countless times this summer.

Game 7, maybe just three or four times. The reason was simple, he said: He finds Game 6 to be more inspiring.

Rules: 2 divisions each in 2 conferences Continued from Page B-1 again,” Toews said. “There’s a lot of things that play into that.

That’s our goal for now.”

Here’s five more things to watch out for as the NHL enters its 96th year: NEW RULES: Un-tucked jerseys and visors are in fashion.

And there’s the possibility of the NHL introducing a form of no-touch icing, pending NHL Players’ Association approval.

The league used the preseason to test a hybrid icing rule, in which linesmen can whistle the play dead by determining which teams’ player reaches the far-end faceoff dot.

The rule is being contemplated in a bid to reduce the chance of injuries that can occur when players collide at the end boards.

Sabres forward Steve Ott doesn’t like it.

“I think it’s terrible,” he said.

“There’s too much hesitation from the referee to the players going to get the puck, and that hesitation slows down the game.”

In other changes, players with fewer than 25 games of NHL experience must wear a visor.

Players will also not be permitted to tuck their jerseys into their pants to expose any protective padding.

FAMILIAR FACES, NEW PLACES: Vinny’s in Philly, Alfie’s in Motown, and Tim Thomas ended his one-year sabbatical to land in Florida.

These were among the more significant moves involving the NHL’s old guard this offseason.

Vincent Lecavalier started the ball rolling, when the former Tampa Bay captain signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with the Flyers.

Daniel Alfredsson, the longtime Senators captain, jumped ship to sign with the Red Wings. His departure prompted the Senators to acquire forward Bobby Ryan in a deal with Anaheim.

And then there’s Thomas, who re-emerged last week by signing a one-year deal with the Panthers.

GOALIE SHUFFLE: There’s

a spotlight on goalies who switched teams and on some that stayed put.

Cory Schneider is out of Roberto Luongo’s shadow in Vancouver to become Martin Brodeur’s heir-apparent in New Jersey. The Toronto Maple Leafs made a bid to shore up their crease by acquiring Jonathan Bernier in a trade with Los Angeles.

Then there’s the Flyers’ nearannual offseason carousel.

Newly signed free agent Ray Emery is competing with Steve Mason for the starting job after Philadelphia gave up on Ilya Bryzgalov.

Questions remain regarding the status of several established veterans.

In Pittsburgh, Marc-Andre Fleury is on the hotseat after his latest playoff meltdown sent him to the bench last spring. Fleury will open the season as the starter by default with Tomas Vokoun out indefinitely due to blood clots.

Ryan Miller’s future in Buffalo is uncertain, too. The Sabres haven’t ruled out the possibility

of trading Miller before his contract expires after this season.

ROOKIE WATCH: Center Nathan MacKinnon, drafted first overall by Colorado in June, heads the list of raw rookies set to make their professional debuts.

Other first-round picks set to make the immediate jump to the NHL include Panthers center Aleksander Barkov (No. 2 pick), Nashville defenseman Seth Jones (No. 4), and Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (No. 8).

REALIGNMENT A REALITY: At last, there is a new look to the league. Realignment means there are just four divisions now, two in both the Eastern and Western Conference.

The names of the divisions, though, will take some getting used to. The Atlantic, Pacific and Central all seem fine. The Metropolitan — which features Carolina, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Columbus, New Jersey and both the New York Islanders and Rangers — will take some getting used to.

Chiefs still unbeaten as they begin Week 5

By Dave Skretta

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The memories of last season are already fuzzy for the Kansas City Chiefs, who tried to purge just about every one of them from their minds over a long, difficult offseason.

It helps that they’re quickly being replaced by happy thoughts.

The Chiefs pounded the New York Giants 31-7 on Sunday to move to 4-0 for only the third time in franchise history. They also joined the 1980 Detroit Lions as the only franchises to reel off four straight wins a year after winning two or fewer games.

“I don’t even remember last year.

We’re doing so good right now,” wide receiver Dwayne Bowe said. “The team is totally in, the coaches, the players.

It’s all a family right now. We’re a family organization. On all three sides of the ball we’re doing good.”

On offense, the Chiefs have scored at least 26 points in three of their four games, and they have only turned the ball over three times — all against the Giants, none resulting in points.

On defense, they’ve allowed just three touchdowns all season, and the way they’ve gotten after opposing quarterbacks — they have 18 sacks so far — has been downright startling.

On special teams, Dustin Colquitt

has performed like the Pro Bowl punter that he was last season, and Dexter McCluster electrified Chiefs fans with a punt return touchdown on Sunday.

So yes, on all three sides of the ball the Chiefs are doing well.

“We try not to even think about last year,” said Bowe, who was part of the

team that stumbled to a franchiseworst 2-14 finish. “Every day we go day-by-day, and right now we’re 4-0 and the target is on our back, and we have to keep pushing.”

That could get more difficult as injuries begin to mount.

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that right tackle Eric Fisher will be

monitored this week after sustaining a concussion against the Giants, and his status and that of several other key players will be in limbo as they begin preparing for Sunday’s game at Tennessee.

“When you look at it, he really hit more of the shoulder area than the head, which I think is positive,” Reid said of his No. 1 overall draft pick. “I mean, I’m not a doctor. I don’t evaluate these things. But he didn’t take a direct blow, that big blow to the head, which I think is a good thing for him. That’s the most important thing.”

Reid also said that the feet of running back Jamaal Charles were a “mess” because of blisters that sprouted during the game. Charles, who is expected to be OK for the Titans game, ran for just 65 yards but also had five catches for 62 yards and a touchdown against New York.

“He wants the ball, which you appreciate. I really appreciated it after I saw his feet and the blisters on them,” Reid said. “The kid is a tough kid. He likes to play.”

There are a slew of other injuries that the Chiefs will be watching closely.

Top cornerback Brandon Flowers was inactive for the Giants game because of inflammation in his knee, and Reid wasn’t sure Monday about his status for next weekend. Starting guard Jeff Allen missed the game with

Saints: Brees 7th QB to pass 47K yards Continued from Page B-1 Earlier that same season, Brees threw for 363 yards and four scores in a 49-24 Monday night win over the New York Giants.

The Saints’ Super Bowl campaign of 2009 was highlighted by Brees’ 371 yards and five touchdowns in New Orleans’ stunning 38-17 rout of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Now his 10th 400-yard outing since he joined the Saints in 2006 delivered a sobering blow to a Miami team that came in riding a surprising surprising start.

When Brees was a free agent in 2006, he drew the most interest from New Orleans and Miami, but the Dolphins, fearful of the effects of reconstructive surgery on Brees throwing shoulder, did not pursue the quarterback as enthusiastically as then-Saints rookie coach Sean Payton. Since then, Brees has become one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history.

Brees was 30 of 39 against Miami without an interception. Sproles caught seven passes for 114 yards. Marques Colston had seven catches for 96 yards.

Miami’s Lamar Miller had 62 yards rushing on 11 carries, including a 5-yard scoring run late in the second quarter that made it 14-10, but the Saints began to run away with the game after that.

As the Saints pulled away, they also turned up their pass rush, sacking Tannehill three times in the third quarter.

Brees completed his first three passes for 70 yards. He followed up his long pass to Sproles with an 18-yard completion to rookie Kenny Stills.

Soon after, Sproles ran it in, untouched, on a draw play.

During the drive, Brees

became only the seventh quarterback to pass for more than 47,000 yards. He ended the drive with 47,030, surpassing Fran Tarkenton’s 47,003 for sixth most yards passing all-time.

Later, Brees’ eighth completion gave him 4,124 in his career, one more than John Elway for fourth all-time in that category.

Miami responded quickly to New Orleans opening score, surprisingly by run-

ning the ball. The Dolphins came in averaging 70.3 yards rushing per game, but gained 57 on the ground on their opening series. Miller had 33 yards on one run and Tannehill had a 26-yard gain.

However, New Orleans’ defense tightened up at its 10-yard line, and rookie nose tackle John Jenkins’ tackle behind the line forced Miami to settle for Caleb Sturgis’ 34-yard field goal.

Miami was driving for a

potential go-ahead score when Tannehill tried to scramble up the middle and was stripped by linebacker Curtis Lofton.

Safety Rafael Bush recovered on the New Orleans 38. That set up a drive that ended with Graham’s leaping, juggling catch as three defenders converged on him.

Later in the half, Jabari Greer intercepted a pass intended for Brian Hartline, and returned it 22 yards to the Miami 23.

Cowboys: Near bottom in pass defense Continued from Page B-1 who was held without a sack while Rivers made quick throws out of a hurry-up offense. “People say never say never, but I feel like it’s never going to happen again playing a game like that. That’s just the way I feel about it.”

Dallas lost with a 2-1 record for the third straight season. The Cowboys are sitting at .500 again not only with Manning coming to town, but with Robert Griffin III visiting the following week.

The Cowboys won’t soon forget how the first NFL game in Texas went for the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor.

He threw for 304 yards and sparked to the Redskins to a huge lead in a 38-31 win.

While Dallas has been strong against the run so far this year, the Cowboys are near the bottom in pass defense even

before Manning shows up.

“You’d like to able to make those stops,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.

“We had some guys that were out of position on some of those, whether it

be through just mental or whether it be through physical. But we were out of position, and that hurt us.”

Tony Romo protected the ball well again and is the only full-time starter in the league with just one interception. The only turnover for Dallas came when rookie receiver Terrance Williams tried to reach the ball over the goal line and had it knocked out by Crezdon Butler with the Cowboys trying to rally late in the fourth quarter.

Williams had his best game as a pro with seven catches for 71 yards, and Dez Bryant scored both offensive touchdowns.

“More than anything, they kept us off the field,” said Romo, who has completed at least 70 percent of his passes in all four games. “Without as many possessions as you’d normally get in a game, you have to make them all count.”

a lingering calf strain, No. 1 tight end Anthony Fasano was out with an ankle sprain and backup tight end Travis Kelce is still dealing with a bruised knee.

“Obviously, Flowers wasn’t able to answer the bell or Fasano, and it wasn’t lack of effort,” Reid said. “They tried, as did Allen, but hopefully we get them back next week.”

Even without them, the Chiefs kept on rolling.

Alex Smith has flourished since getting traded from San Francisco, joining Joe Montana and Mike Livingston as the only Chiefs quarterbacks to win their first four starts. Smith threw his first two picks of the season against New York, but also threw three touchdown passes.

One of them went to Sean McGrath, the first of his career.

In fact, McGrath may be the epitome of how everything is going the Chiefs’ way this season. He was cut loose by Seattle and picked up off waivers by Kansas City just before the start of the season, and has proven invaluable in filling in for Fasano and Kelce at tight end.

When asked whether he’s having any fun with the 4-0 start, McGrath’s response spoke volumes.

“Are you kidding me?” he said. “How could you not have fun?”

Pirates hoping for more than cameo in playoffs

By Will Graves

The Associated Press

PittSBurgh PirAtES

CinCinnAti rEdS

PITTSBURGH — Where most saw misery and chaos, Clint Hurdle saw something else entirely.

The day Hurdle took over as the Pittsburgh Pirates manager in December, 2010, he spoke about electrifying the city. He preached optimism then went out and practiced it every day while talking about a vision that went far beyond returning a moribund franchise to respectability.

It’s why Hurdle isn’t satisfied after leading Pittsburgh to a 94-68 record and its first playoff berth in 21 years. It’s why he doesn’t view Tuesday night’s wild-card game against Cincinnati as the culmination of three years of patience, progress and pragmatism.

Press Hurdle on how detailed he allowed his vision to get and he leans forward for emphasis.

“To win a sixth World Series,” he said.

First things first.

The team that spent all summer defying expectations now must find a way to do it again when it hosts the first playoff game in Pittsburgh in 7,660 days. Coming off a weekend sweep in Cincinnati that gave the Pirates home-field advantage for the one-and-done wild card, Pittsburgh has to press reset while trying not to get caught up in the kind of hype not seen in the city since Barry Bonds bolted for San Francisco 21 years ago.

“What happened over the weekend,” Hurdle said, “doesn’t matter.”

Neither does the six months that came before it, though Hurdle believes his team has all the hallmarks required to make sure this postseason appearance will extend beyond a cameo.

PUSKAR/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“I like the grit factor,” he said, “and the lessons we’ve learned.”

Lessons hard won on a roster that is baseball’s version of Ellis Island, a mixture of veterans looking to revive their careers and an exciting young core that includes MVP candidate Andrew McCutchen and ace-in-training Gerrit Cole.

Perhaps it’s fitting that left-hander Francisco Liriano (16-8, 3.02 ERA) will start the team’s most important game in a generation. Allowed to walk in free agency after an underwhelming stint with the Chicago White Sox in 2012, the Pirates signed Liriano to a two-year deal last winter that turned out to be one of the best bargains in baseball.

Fueled by a slightly overhauled delivery and a devastating slider, Liriano rediscovered the form that made him an All-Star in 2006. Even more, he’s found a home in a clubhouse that wasn’t always the most welcoming in the majors.

“In the beginning, when people came here, it was more of a rehabilitation center,” McCutchen said. “I mean it’s true. Guys came here toward the end of their career, saying this is going to boost them up, maybe they can have a big year so they can go somewhere else.”

Not so much anymore.

The arrival of pitcher A.J. Burnett in 2012 and catcher Russell Martin last

winter signaled a sea change. Both players have World Series rings. Both still had something to prove. Both wanted to be part of something significant.

They weren’t alone. Former AL MVP Justin Morneau agreed to leave the Minnesota Twins after a decade to spend the final month of the season in Pittsburgh. Journeyman outfielder Marlon Byrd raced from New York to PNC Park for a chance to reach the postseason for the first time in his 12-year career.

Their paths, much like Liriano’s, shadows the franchise’s fall and subsequent rise. Once considered one of the game’s future stars, Liriano spent five years searching for a new identity after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2007. He’s found one in a ballpark where he is 8-1 with a 1.47 ERA this season.

“He’s a Pirate,” Hurdle said. “There’s a lot of Pirate in every guy in there.

They’ve got a flawed manager though.”

Maybe, but one that has proven to be a perfect fit in Pittsburgh. Regardless of what happens on Tuesday, Hurdle believes his team has turned a corner.

The Reds — equipped with postseason experience, as they’ve made the NL playoffs three times since 2010 — will try to make sure the Pirates have to wait another year before taking the next step. Cincinnati spent much of the season as the third team in a three-way race with St. Louis and Pittsburgh for the NL Central title.

Despite looking lifeless at times down the stretch, the Reds received a jolt by the return of right-hander Johnny Cueto. The 27-year-old missed most of the season with back problems but has been solid since his return on Sept. 16. The Reds are also likely to have in their lineup Brandon Phillips, their star second baseman who left Saturday’s game with a leg injury.

Pirate’s booty: McCutchen Cubs fire manager Sveum after 2 seasons the top pick for NL MVP

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — There was a time when MVP awards were practically passed around the Pittsburgh clubhouse, from one generation to the next.

Dick Groat and Roberto Clemente in the 1960s. Dave Parker and Willie Stargell in the late ’70s. Barry Bonds twice in the early ’90s.

And now, Andrew McCutchen appears poised to pick up that torch.

The dynamic center fielder was the centerpiece of a long-awaited turnaround for the Pirates, back in the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. Pittsburgh’s charming revival after 20 straight losing records, the longest drought in any of the four major pro sports, has been the feel-good story of this baseball season.

So if McCutchen’s statistics weren’t quite enough to warrant Most Valuable Player honors in the National League, the warm-andfuzzy sentiment might have pushed him over the top.

His performance alone was plenty — especially when defense and baserunning get factored in as much as they should.

Hardly a clear-cut choice, though.

McCutchen has legitimate challengers in Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw.

Maybe even Cardinals leadoff man Matt Carpenter, too.

Together they evoke all the classic questions when it comes to MVP debates.

Goldschmidt is the slugger with prodigious power numbers for a .500 team. Should he beat out worthy candidates headed to the postseason? Is it fair to downgrade him simply because his teammates didn’t provide enough help?

“Goldschmidt’s probably more deserving than anybody if they were winning,” Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. “But then you have to weigh, is he that much better than anybody else?”

Goldschmidt led the league in RBIs (125), slugging percentage (.551), total bases (332) and OPS (.952). He shared the home run title with 36 and finished tied for third in runs (103). He even stole 15 bases and supplied a steady glove.

“This guy’s been a one-man wrecking crew at times for them,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “How many games has he won in the ninth?”

But there’s no getting around it: MVP voters from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America tend to lean toward playoff participants.

Kershaw dominated on the mound for the NL West champions, compiling the lowest ERA (1.83) for a major league pitcher in 13 years. He started 33 of 162 games, however, so could he possibly do enough to outdistance the best everyday players?

Detroit right-hander Justin Verlander won the AL MVP award two years ago, but no NL pitcher has won since Bob Gibson in 1968.

Molina’s contributions to the Cardinals, who had the NL’s top record at 97-65, are more difficult to quantify. He had an excellent season at the plate — a .359 on-base percentage with 12 homers, 44 doubles and 80 RBIs in 136 games — but it’s his presence behind the dish that makes him a serious contender.

Almost universally regarded as the game’s best defensive catcher, Molina did a masterful job handling St. Louis’ young pitching staff. He shuts down opponents’ running games with his rocket arm and textbook technique.

So how do you attach a specific value to all that?

Kershaw led the NL in WAR (Wins Above Replacement) this season, according to baseball-reference.com. McCutchen was tied for second, Goldschmidt was fifth and Carpenter tied for sixth.

Molina was not in the top 10. Still, he has vocal supporters.

“I like Molina, and this is just because I know what he does defensively, how he runs their pitching staff,” Roenicke said. “I know what he saves those guys in runs behind the plate. No other position can do as much defensively as he does.”

A Look At thE othEr Big AwArdS AL MVP: A two-man race all year,

even though Mike Trout had another amazing season for the disappointing Angels. Baltimore bopper Chris Davis led the league in homers (53) and RBIs (138), preventing a repeat Triple Crown for Miguel Cabrera.

But the Detroit slugger deserves his second consecutive MVP after playing through several injuries to post the highest OPS in the majors (1.078) and lead his team to its third straight AL Central crown. “They’re neck and neck,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said.

NL Cy Young: Kershaw takes home his second prize in three years.

AL Cy Young: Max Scherzer, hands down. He went 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA and 240 strikeouts for Detroit.

NL Rookie of the Year: What a freshman class! The bumper crop included pitchers Shelby Miller (Cardinals), Hyun-Jin Ryu (Dodgers) and Julio Teheran (Braves) to go along with Los Angeles outfielder Yasiel Puig, Atlanta slugger Evan Gattis and more.

At the top of the heap, however, was Miami right-hander Jose Fernandez. He finished second in the majors in ERA (2.19) and went 12-6 for a team that lost 100 games and scored 85 fewer runs than any other club in the big leagues.

AL Rookie of the Year: Not nearly as deep a field as in the National League. Rays outfielder Wil Myers gets the nod.

NL Manager of the Year: Clint Hurdle of the Pirates gets rewarded for a patient rebuilding job, beating out Atlanta’s Fredi Gonzalez.

AL Manager of the Year: Bob Melvin in Oakland, last year’s winner, remains the game’s most underrated skipper. But it’s impossible to overlook the turnaround Terry Francona produced in his first season with playoff-bound Cleveland.

CHICAGO — Theo Epstein is proud of the talent in the Chicago Cubs’ minor league system. The president of baseball operations thinks Dale Sveum is going to be a successful manager one day.

He just doesn’t think Sveum is the right guy to help all those prospects become successful major leaguers.

The Cubs fired Sveum on Monday after finishing last in the NL Central for the first time in seven years, ending a two-year run that produced more losses than any other stretch in the team’s cursed history.

“It’s absolutely imperative that we create the best environment possible for young players to come up here, continue to learn, continue to develop and thrive at the big league level and win, ultimately,” Epstein said during an afternoon news conference. “And that’s not an easy thing to do.

“A big part of the reason why we’re here today is because we took a good hard look at that and we decided that we needed to try to get it right before they come up.”

Sveum was among Epstein’s first hires after the executive came over from the Boston Red Sox in 2011. He had little experience as a manager when he agreed to take the job, and he knew the Cubs were at the very beginning of a top-to-bottom overhaul that they hoped would transform them into perennial contenders.

He just thought he would get more time to make it work.

“You come in and you get a job like this and you want to see it through and so you’re very disappointed you didn’t get to really get anything started,” Sveum said in a parking lot outside Wrigley Field.

Sveum, who had one year left on his contract, said he thought he was fine before Epstein said during Chicago’s trip to Milwaukee in mid-September that the manager was being evaluated.

“That was about when things got started,” Sveum said.

While praising Sveum’s time in Chicago and his growth with the Cubs, Epstein disputed the notion that the manager was blindsided by the move. He said Sveum had been aware of some concern in the front office for some time.

“We met shortly after the All-Star break, a long meeting, a long, difficult, brutally honest meeting where we explained the areas where we felt like we needed to see improvement,” Epstein said. “We told him, ‘We are meeting with you because for the first time there are some concerns about whether you’re the long-term guy and you deserve to hear that feedback from us and you deserve the second half of the season to work on those areas.’”

Epstein said he also talked to Sveum before he made his comments in Milwaukee and let him know there were still discussions going on in the front

office about whether he would be retained for next season.

In the end, they decided to make a change.

Chicago went 61-101 in Sveum’s first season, and then stumbled down the stretch in 2013 while some of its best players were traded away for prospects.

The Cubs dropped 41 of their final 59 games, including six of their final seven, finishing with a 66-96 record.

But it looks as if wins and losses were not a major factor in Sveum’s dismissal.

Shortstop Starlin Castro and first baseman Anthony Rizzo, two key young players who have long-term contracts, each took a step back this year. Pitcher Jeff Samardzija also had an uneven season.

Talented prospects such as Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, Albert Almora and Kris Bryant are on the way, and Epstein made it clear that providing the right atmosphere for those players was a key issue when it came to Sveum’s dismissal.

“Not in all cases, there were some good results this year, some young players emerged, but there were other young players who didn’t continue to develop this year,” Epstein said. “That’s a collective issue, but it’s my responsibility to get it right.”

Sveum, who played a role in the development of sluggers Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun when he was a coach in Milwaukee, said he was looking forward to managing those prospects when they got to the majors.

“Being here when all these players got here, that’s the biggest disappointment, if anything,” said Sveum, who isn’t sure what he’s going to do next season. “You didn’t get a chance to see it through.”

Epstein said previous managing experience will be a point of emphasis in their search, and he plans to complete the process before the general manager meetings in early November.

Sveum’s dismissal likely will ramp up speculation surrounding the status of Yankees manager Joe Girardi, a Peoria, Ill., native who played college ball at nearby Northwestern. The former Cubs catcher just completed the final season of his contract with New York, but he downplayed his connection to Chicago over the weekend.

Sugar is aptly named yet she has spent a long time in foster care.

She can be aggressive with some dogs, primarily females, yet would probably be lonely as an only dog if her human family was not home most of the time. She does not like cold weather or hot weather, but loves to sun bathe.

She is a huge snuggler so she needs to be with a human family that allows couch and or bed snuggling. She is about 45 pounds max and eats 2 cups of kibble a day, but is VERY food motivated.

Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old woman, and my husband is 61. We met online and spent weekends together for seven months before getting married. I was deeply in love with him for the first six months.

Lately, my attitude and feelings have changed dramatically. This man drives me crazy and grosses me out.

He is constantly clearing his throat and blowing his nose. He is flatulent and burps long and loud all day and night. He’s clumsy, and his memory is going downhill fast. He becomes very defensive when I try to talk to him about any of this. I still love him, but not romantically. I feel more like a best friend.

I have to force myself to kiss him, let alone sleep with him, and due to his denial, I have lost a lot of respect for him. This was not the man I dated. He retired six months ago and now sits around all day getting stoned. He doesn’t make friends, and he needs open heart surgery and a knee replacement and will require a caregiver very soon. He knew I was a nurse when we met, and I think he married me because of his overwhelming fear of being alone. I have spent decades taking care of people who are disabled, demented and in denial. I now see this marriage as a live-in job.

He can’t understand why my feelings have changed and blames me.

I feel totally trapped. I bought the house we are living in and brought more money into the marriage.

However, because I am entitled to his retirement benefit when he dies, he considers our financial contributions to be equal.

I didn’t date for 12 years before I met him and thought we were very compatible. I should have lived with him for at least a year, but I wanted to set a good example for my children.

Please don’t suggest counseling.

It won’t change his personality or improve his declining health and

honesty. — Regrets in Paradise Dear Regrets: The counseling isn’t for him. It’s for you. You feel trapped with a man you no longer wish to be intimate with, and the future you see is that of patient and nurse. There’s no point in beating yourself up over what you didn’t notice when you were dating. That happens to everyone. The question is what you are going to do about it now. And that’s where the counseling can help. You need to sort out how you feel, whether you are willing to stick it out and the emotional cost to you.

Dear Annie: Why do people make a big deal out of men who are crossdressers?

I am 43 years old, happily married and not gay. I’m a businessman, and I wear lacy lingerie with breast forms under my suits every day. My beautiful wife of 20 years thinks I look hot in lingerie. When we go out to fancy restaurants, I dress up as a woman.

I’m very passable, and our four teenage daughters are OK with it.

There are straight women who wear men’s clothing, and I never hear anything negative about them.

— A Happy Father and Husband Dear Happy: Women who wear men’s clothing generally do so because it is more comfortable. Men who wear women’s clothing, which is decidedly less comfortable, often do so because it gives them a sexual thrill or satisfies some emotional need. (Some women dress like men for the same reasons.) The important thing is that your wife and daughters are OK with it. No one else’s opinion matters.

Dear Annie: I believe “Native New Yorker,” whose scratchy voice makes people think he is foreign, missed out on a lot of opportunities to have fun.

His response to questions regarding his origin should be: “I’m from Mars.

Please take me to your leader.” — C.

Challenges ahead for young, old job seekers

A

s we move into the 2014 election season, the public deserves to hear how the New Mexican economy is likely to fare under the leadership of different candidates who want our votes, particularly in respect to the challenges faced in the job market. Those most affected will be young graduates and people over 60.

Jobs are the key to local economic growth as well as to good financial policy. Looking around the Santa Fe real estate market, we see a large inventory of Rob Rikoon unoccupied big Real Money homes that aren’t selling due to the vastly changed market for second residences. This change is due to the shrinking number of well-paid executives who used to think nothing of taking on the added expense of energy-inefficient vacation homes. Real estate agents and politicians may be enthusiastically telling us that the economy has turned around, but my sense is that this is not true for most people in the middle class, who are struggling to make house payments, cover college tuition and save something for retirement.

Students who are graduating from high school and college want to find meaningful work that will pay them a decent wage with the opportunity for career advancement. This, in turn, engenders an optimistic attitude about the future. Our economy and democracy depend upon the traditional optimism that youth brings to a culture. With a population that is growing, the job market needs to consistently expand in order to prevent the ranks of disenfranchised youth from growing to the extent that exists in Europe.

Jobs in New Mexico are dependent on small companies. The days when there were increasing or even a stable number of job opportunities with the city, county or New Mexico state governments have ended. Even Los Alamos National Laboratory employment will be shrinking over time.

Over the last four years, 700,000 government jobs have been lost nationwide, and this trend will continue. The number of jobs available in large corporations has decreased since the Great Recession began in 2007, as companies have consistently reduced their payrolls in order to show increasing profits since this is what supports rising stock prices.

Government statistics show a decline in unemployment from over 10 percent in 2007 to 7.3 percent

Dairy Queen at Santa Fe Place mall to expand

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

Franchise owner Bernie Toobin said the combination of a shaky economy and the frequent turnover of management at Santa Fe Place mall where his Dairy Queen is located have resulted in a “soft” market in recent years. But he’s hoping the $100,000 expansion he is planning will shake things up and make the new “DQ Grill and Chill” a destination.

“We’re going to combine Dairy Queen and Orange Julius,” he said.

“We are going to double the size, we are going to be making ice cream cakes, and we are going to carry coffee, a complete makeover.”

Toobin said he also plans to start stocking balloons and birthday can-

New chapter for downtown mainstay

Two employees take reins of San Francisco Street Bar & Grill from founder

Chloe Bach of Santa Fe carries out an order to a patron Friday at San Francisco Street Bar & Grill. Two of the restaurant’s employees — Beau Bellett, 33, and David Yniguez, 34 — have purchased the eatery from founder Rob Day. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

By Phaedra Haywood

The New Mexican

S

an Francisco Street Bar & Grill — which opened in 1985 in the Plaza Mercado building and moved a few blocks east to its current location above Bella Fine Jewelry just off the Plaza in 2002 — changed hands last week.

Two of the restaurant’s employees — Beau Bellett, 33, and David Yniguez, 34 — have purchased the eatery from founder Rob Day, who still owns Santa Fe Bar & Grill in the DeVargas Center. Day cited changes in the downtown atmosphere and increased government regulations, including pending health insurance mandates, as reasons he decided to let the business go.

Day, 58, a New Mexico native, also said that when he first opened the bar and grill nearly 30 years ago, there were more locally owned businesses downtown and he felt more of a sense of community than he has in recent years.

“Back then, there were a lot of people who had kids in school and had been doing business downtown for years,” he said. “I knew people downtown. I had connections I was tied in and was more a part of the lives of my clientele. Those people retired or moved away, and there was

a new group of people who moved into downtown that were not locals. The downtown does that periodically. It’s not bad, it’s just different.”

Day said the recent recession has changed things, too.

“People worked a lot harder for less,” he said. “People questioned what they were doing, and I was one of them.

After running back and forth [between his two restaurants] for so many years I just wanted it to be simpler,” said Day, who has three children, two of whom are teenagers. “The main premise was to simplify my own life. I had been there for 29 years. It was a good run. I felt fortunate to have been there, and I feel fortunate to be able to move on.”

Bellett, who has worked at the downtown restaurant since 2008, said he decided to look into purchasing the downtown spot when he heard Day might close it.

“I didn’t want to be out of a job,” said the Texas native, who has a bachelor’s degree in finance. He took over as general manager of the 155-seat establishment in 2011, after several years of training by Day. “I love this place,” he said. “And I wanted the employees to have a job. I felt like it was my responsibility to make sure they still had work. Everyone that is working here now [about 35 employees] is going to have their job.”

It was a good run.

Entrepreneurs urged to ‘Come WESST’

By Cindy Wilson

For The New Mexican

The owner of the Dairy Queen in Santa Fe Place mall is planning a remodel.

‘We’re going to combine Dairy Queen and Orange Julius,’ Bernie Toobin said.

‘We are going to double the size, we are going to be making ice cream cakes, and we are going to carry coffee, a complete makeover.’ COURTESY RENDERING

dles in order to become a “one-stop shop” for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations.

“If you need a bag of ice, we’ll throw that in also,” he said. “We’re going to try to make it as easy as possible for someone to have a nice party and not go to our competitors.”

Toobin’s expansion plans include taking over the vacant space next to his spot in the mall’s food court (which used to house a corn dog shop), where he’ll install a glassfronted food prep area so customers can watch employees make waffle bowls, cones and cakes.

“We’re hoping the new image will attract some people who don’t come to the mall now,” he said.

Toobin said he has about 800 square feet to work with, and taking over the

space next door will just about double that.

If all goes according to plan, Toobin said, he could end up adding to his current staff of eight people as well.

“It all depends on how well we execute,” he said. “If we do good and the customers start lining up, we could double the staff, because you certainly don’t want to make them wait in line.

I’m 71 years old, so I undersand the importance of taking care of the customer. You’ve got make them happy.”

Toobin said he knows the costly expansion is a risk, but he’s hoping it will “right the ship.”

“If it doesn’t,” he said, “I’m going to lose some money.”

nthony Urquidez sees two types of clients at the Roswell office of WESST, where he is regional manager: the aspiring entrepreneur who walks in the door — almost on a whim — armed with little more than an idea, and the would-be business owner who arrives with a business plan and a clear idea of what she needs, whether it’s a loan or instruction in computer skills or tax preparation.

All are welcome at WESST, which serves small businesses from offices in Roswell, Albuquerque, Farmington, Rio Rancho, Las Cruces and Santa Fe. The nonprofit small business development and training organization helps clients find loans when traditional lenders have turned them down, and it provides expert advice for people who don’t have the resources to hire a certified public accountant or attorney, Urquidez said.

Since its formation in 1989,

WESST has helped 1,500 New Mexico businesses get started or move to the next level.

Professional approach A client serious about getting help begins a WESST consultation by filling out a client intake form and getting into the group’s system, Urquidez said. The form requests income information, work history and other basic data that helps WESST experts know where to begin helping the client.

When clients come specifically for a loan, Urquidez wants to see two years of tax returns and other financial documents, as well as a business plan. “People love talking about their business,” he said, and putting plans on paper can be a big relief to the business owner who’s been keeping all that information in her head.

election priorities to Benefit all residents

You cannot govern the past only the future. What is done is done.

Like an investment choice, when it comes to choosing a candidate, past performance is not guarantee of future earnings. Santa Fe is at a crossroads, we have an aging population, many young people are choosing to live elsewhere, education and public safety are serious concerns and we have a chance to choose new leadership at City Hall that will focus on local issues and a shared vision for the future.

Looking ahead it’s not hard to visualize a better community. A safe network of trails, higher density mixed-use housing, support and flexible regulations to support local businesses of all kinds, citywide access to wireless and broadband services, efficient and transparent city government, common sense requirements around alcohol service and safe transportation, strategies to attract tourists, businesses and investment, and great customer

service and civility! It would be hard to find anyone who disagrees with these common-sense priorities.

The recent poll conducted by the Santa Fe Association of Realtors found that jobs and the economy are the primary concern of likely voters.

Citizens are worried about making a living and finding a rewarding career. We cannot let our smartest youth move way. We must work together to diversify our local economy, recruit suitable businesses and create economic base jobs that attract talent and pay well. We should support candidates that have business experience, a vision for the future and a plan and strategy to create jobs that engage our young people.

We can honor our traditions and rich history and at the same time also look forward and plan for a prosperous future which benefits everyone in the community. simon Brackley president and Ceo

In brief

Learn about state health exchange The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce is hosting a second educational seminar on the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange on Oct. 23. There are two sessions — one with the focus on small businesses of under 50 employees at 9 a.m., and large businesses of 50 or more employees at 1:30 p.m.

The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the exchange in an effort to help outreach and educate all residents of Santa Fe on new options for health care coverage. This event is one of many that will be happening now through the end of the year to ensure that important information reaches all areas of the state and that all small businesses and individuals have an open forum to ask questions, understand options and learn about additional tools and resources to help them with new affordable coverage options.

The seminar is set for the Hotel Santa Fe, 1501 Paseo de Peralta. There is no charge, but please RSVP to www.santafechamber.com or 988-3279.

LOCAL BUSINESS

Expand: Remodel could be done by mid-Oct. Continued from Page C-1 Dairy Queen was started by a father and son in Kankakee, Ill., in 1938, according to the company’s website (www.dairyqueen.com) and has since grown to include 6,000 locations through the United States, Canada and 18 other countries.

At one time the chain boasted four locations in Santa Fe, Toobin said. His is the last one left.

Toobin ran a coffee service and vending business in Texas for 28 years before retiring to Santa Fe in 2004. He said he purchased the business in 2005 after his wife told him: “Go get a job at Dillard’s, I’m tired of you being retired.”

He would have gotten a job at the department

store, Toobin said, but felt that after owning his own business for most of his life it would have been hard to have someone half his age telling him what to do.

Toobin said he plans to begin construction as soon as he obtains his building permit from the city of Santa Fe and hopes to have the remodel completed by mid-October.

Sense Clothing launches its fall collection The Santa Fe-based Sense Clothing has introduced its Sense Fall 2013 Collection, which is now featured in stores across the United States.

Beau Bellett is one of the new owners of San Francisco Street Bar & Grill. Bellett has worked at the restaurant since 2008. ‘I love this place,’ he said. ‘And I wanted the employees to have a job.’ LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Chapter: ‘American Bistro’ theme will remain Continued from Page C-1 Bellett’s partner, Yniguez, said he and his wife moved to Santa Fe from Boulder, Colo., about four years ago so he could attend graduate school at The University of New Mexico and his wife could go to nursing school at Santa Fe Community College.

Yniguez said he took a few wait shifts (and later worked his way up to bar manager) at the restaurant to make some extra money to pay bills.

When he graduated with a double major in business and accounting last year, he had a hard time finding work in either of those fields locally and decided to move back to Colorado.

He took a trip up north to look for jobs one weekend, he said, and the day he came back he ran into Bellett outside the restaurant on San Francisco Street.

The two men stood there talking for about 45 minutes, Yniguez said, and decided to join forces.

“I said let me put my MBA to work and run some numbers and come up with a business plan to see if it was feasible,” Yniguez said. “It was a function of not having the kind of job I’m qualified for.”

Yniguez said he’s excited that his collaboration with Bellett will allow each of them — and Victor Medina, the restaurant’s chef of 13 years — to

put their past experience and education to work.

“It’s a good mix of personalities and strengths and weaknesses,” he said. “We have a lot of good ideas that get checked and balanced, but in a positive way.”

The pair said they plan to continue the “American Bistro” theme of the restaurant and that the price point of the food — $8 to $14 plates at lunch and $10 to $24 plates at dinner — will remain the same.

They’ll also continue serving much of the same comfort food regulars have come to love over the years, including the signature grilled cheese sandwich on dark rye with pesto and tomatoes.

But they do intend to make some changes, including creating a new bar menu that will feature bar food standards such as sliders and fish tacos, and also hope to add more Northern New Mexico entrees to the menu. Bellett said he also plans to solicit input on additions to the menu from his brother, who is a chef in Seattle.

Bellett said he might also experiment with serving breakfast on weekends and keeping the kitchen open later at night if business can support those changes. He also wants to explore ways to make the second-floor restaurant more visible to people walking by on San Francisco Street by adding flower boxes to the windows, decorating with holiday lights and perhaps adding a street-level hostess stand.

Jobs: More service positions Continued from Page C-1 today, but this does not take into account the 3.5 million people who have dropped out of the official workforce. Where have new jobs come from that do actually exist? They have been primarily in the food and service businesses, with food service, home health care, food preparation and housekeeping comprising 60 percent of the jobs taken by women employees since 2009. A discouraging reality is that the majority of these types of new jobs pay $10.10 or less an hour. The amount of education that a person has under their belt is almost irrelevant in today’s job market. Individuals who have graduated college are having almost as difficult a time as high school graduates in finding first-time work.

The other group of workers who are most affected by the decline in employment opportunities are those 65 and older. Over the past 10 years, the number of senior citizens working as employees has increased by two-thirds. In real numbers, this means that 3 million more people over age 65 are working today than in 2003. The financial condition of the vast majority of older Americans is declining, as evidenced by the fact that 59 percent of people 65 years and older have no retirement savings. This situation is about to get worse. Baby boomers, who started turning 65 in 2011, are expected to enter the over-65 age group at the rate of 3 million people per year.

If trends continue the way they are going now, about 60 percent of them will need to continue to work indefinitely, which means another 1.6 million people per year entering or staying in the workforce for the next 20 years. This group will be competing for all types of jobs with recent graduates seeking to enter the workforce.

Forty-one percent of people over 65 now have retirement plans, but the median amount in these savings accounts is around $120,000. Average life expectancy for today’s 65-year-olds is approximately 20 years on average. This “fortunate” minority, about 20 percent of the middle class, will have an income of around $500 a month to supplement their Social Security — not a robust

margin for error in budgeting!

Only 50 percent of private-sector workers have any type of employer-sponsored retirement account, and of this amount, only 40 percent participate by electing a deduction from their current disposable income. The result is that only one of five working people employed by large companies are saving for retirement. What does this mean for New Mexico?

First, large numbers of homes over a certain price point will probably remain unsold unless they have significant price reductions. As the cost of maintaining and heating those homes rises, they will need to be put to different uses — maybe multi-family if zoning and covenants adjust to a new reality. As people in their 50s and 60s help to support their children who are trying to enter the workforce, we will see more multigenerational residential situations. I believe this is the direction that the real estate market will move in Santa Fe, in New Mexico and in the country as a whole.

Second, competition for retail, low-end service and sales jobs will increase (while compensation decreases) as pressure from job seekers in the over-65 crowd and under-30 population goes up.

Wages in all industries will remain stagnant and consumer spending will likely focus on essential goods. Retailers will feel this price competition keenly, even high-end luxury goods providers.

The amount that will be spent by the average, middle-class tourist in our local shops will go down as more people have to carefully watch their spending.

One positive aspect of all this is that we will need to draw closer together as a community.

It will make good, immediate economic sense to help each other out by providing goods and services locally in ways that have not been seen much over the last 50 to 75 years. Who knows … it might even be more fun!

In the next few months, the new owners plan to host a “menu tasting” dinner, at which they’ll gather feedback on potential new dishes from 50 or 60 of the grill’s most loyal customers.

“Those are the people we trust,” Yniguez said.

“People we are on a first-name basis with, we’ll let them choose.”

Longtime patron Bill Talbot — a dealer of fine art, maps and antique books who has kept an office on San Francisco Street for the past 30 years or so — is bound to be one of those invited to the VIP dinner.

Talbot, 63, who was dining at the eatery’s long bar one day last week, admitted sheepishly that he takes his lunch there pretty much every day, and has for years. “Pasta day, which is Wednesday, is the highlight of my week,” he joked.

Talbot said he is looking forward to trying some new things but is happy the new owners intend to retain chef Medina, whom he says has done such a good job preparing the comfortfood standards he’s enjoyed at the restaurant for the past three decades.

“When Victor cooks his pork chops, I’m so happy,” he said. “They are to die for. Victor is the man.”

WESST Continued from Page C-1 services the business will sell, what experience the entrepreneur has in that or any industry, where the business will be based, who will manage the business and what licenses or permits the business might need. From there the topic typically turns to money: what the business might need to get started or get bigger and where that money might come from.

WESST consultants help startups, maturing and mature enterprises by helping owners with strategic planning, market analysis, organizational development and financial forecasting.

This one-on-one consultation is a free service offered by WESST, which sets it apart from resources that offer loans but no consultation or financial assistance, Urquidez added. The organization also offers free online tools, low-cost classes in business-related skills, microloans and other sources of business capital.

Getting schooled WESST’s training schedule includes webinars, podcasts, blogs and in-person classes.

The Business Plan Working Group, for example, is an eight-week class that helps entrepreneurs — especially beginners — create a business plan and learn how to market and manage their small business.

Another class helps with social media and search engine optimization skills, and another, Marketlink, is a six-week intensive class to help merchants position and price their products to targeted customers.

WESST experts can’t provide tax or legal advice, but the organization does offer referrals to those professionals.
