Panel proposes school gardens, better access to groceries to help residents eat better By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

After more than three years of study, a local government advisory group on Friday rolled out a plan for helping Santa Fe city and county residents get, grow and learn about healthy food. Authors of the plan note that food issues affect the community in multiple ways. “Food ties into health, into economic development, into landuse policies,” said Erin Ortigoza, a La Madera farmer who helped coordinate the work of the Santa Fe area’s Food Policy Council. The plan describes food challenges in a region with centuries-old farming traditions but also thousands of residents, including children, who go to bed hungry or struggle with obesity. Improving public transportation to grocery stores for families who lack vehicles and expanding existing community and school gardens are two ways to help improve access to fresh produce, the document says. The plan also is designed to foster blossoming partnerships among various programs in the city and county to strengthen the food network and to help local farmers. Ortigoza listed the top three food priorities identified by members of the community: u Making it easier for low-income people to get to grocery stores or farmers markets. u Increasing the amount of locally grown food in schools. u Preserving farmland. “Once arable farmland is compacted and developed, it’s gone,” Ortigoza said.

Before the 2012 general election, the Secretary of State’s Office notified county election officials across the state that the election guides published by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters should not be allowed at polling places because the publications amounted to improper “electioneering.” That’s still the case as voters go to the polls for this year’s general election Nov. 4, a top official at the Secretary of State’s Office confirmed Friday. However, the statewide leader of the League of Women Voters dis-

Honda, Toyota, GM, Chrysler and six other companies spanning 2002 to 2007 — could prove far greater than the industry has ever managed. Manufacturing that many replacement parts could take years and present a variety of logistical nightmares. Dealerships could quickly become overwhelmed by the demand, auto safety experts said. This year, GM recalled a total of 30 million vehicles for faulty

President Barack Obama heads into midterm elections in which he may face crushing losses. He has been spurned by his own party, whose candidates do not even want to be seen with him. The president’s supporters say the toxic atmosphere in Washington has made it impossible for Obama to succeed. But there is a counter view being offered by a former Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who says that he had it worse than Obama. “Nobody’s accused him of murder yet, as far as I know. I mean, it was pretty rough back then,” Clinton said last month in an interview aired by PBS, when asked about the partisan climate facing Obama. Whatever Clinton’s motivations,

U.S. auto industry can handle what could become the largest recall in history. Federal safety authorities have recalled 7.8 million vehicles over the defect in a few states, a limited action that lawmakers said Thursday was insufficient to address what they deemed “a public safety threat.” Two senators demanded a much broader recall that would cover every affected vehicle nationwide. But a recall of that magnitude — including best-selling models from
