Candidates battle over ballot questions INSIDE

Pot overshadows other issues at forum By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Incumbent Secretary of State Dianna Duran and her Democratic opponent, Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver, clashed Tuesday over Duran’s decision not to allow Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties to put a nonbinding question about marijuana on the ballot and Duran’s move earlier in the day to try to move a legal chal-

lenge to that decision from the state Supreme Court to federal court. The exchange happened at a candidate forum at Santa Fe Community College sponsored by the League of Women Voters. The two candidates for attorney general — Democrat Hector Balderas and Republican Susan Riedel — also talked about issues at the forum. Though neither candidate for secretary of state men-

Dempsey says he would recommend new ground operation if airstrikes fail By Mark Landler and Jeremy W. Peters The New York Times

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s top military adviser said Tuesday he would recommend deploying United States forces in ground operations against Islamic extremists in Iraq if airstrikes prove insufficient, opening the door to a riskier, more expansive American combat role than the president has publicly outlined. Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that while he was confident an American-led coalition would defeat the Islamic State, he would not foreclose the possibility of asking Obama to send U.S. troops to fight the militants on the ground — something Obama has ruled out. “My view at this point is that this coalition is the appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove true,” Dempsey said. “But if it fails to be true, and if there are threats to the United States, then I, of course, would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of U.S. military ground forces.” Dempsey acknowledged that this would run counter to the president’s policy, but he said, “He has told me as well to come back to him on a case-bycase basis.” The general’s statement lays bare the challenge the president will face in selling an expanded military

are able to “easily exchange” them for licenses from other states. She said New Mexico’s licensing law is spawning fraud across the country because states that never intended to license undocumented immigrants are doing so unwittingly. In her speech, Martinez named Georgia, Florida and New York as states that will issue a new driver’s license in exchange for one from New Mexico. But a check of all three of those

The Rio Arriba County jail is joining a growing number of detention centers that have decided to ignore requests from immigration authorities to hold undocumented immigrants accused of separate crimes. Jail Director Larry DeYapp said he changed his policy about two months ago and has notified U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that deports undocumented immigrants, that his jail will no longer hold immigrants based on the agency’s request. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit — which hears cases from Delaware, New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania — ruled in March that local law enforcement agencies are not required to honor ICE detainers on suspected undocumented immigrants. The ruling went on to say that ICE detainers are merely requests, not court orders, and that local agencies are not compelled to follow them. Following Congress’ efforts to stall immigration legislation and President Barack Obama’s recent statement that he will delay his promised executive order to overhaul the country’s immigration policies until after Election Day, county jails across the country, including in New Mexico, have shifted their positions on helping federal authorities deport undocumented immigrants. Most recently, officials with Bernalillo County, New Mexico’s most populous county, said the Metropolitan Detention Center would not hold inmates solely on the basis of a federal immigration detainer. In June, the Doña Ana County Detention Center also announced it would not honor the detainers. Pablo Sedillo, director of the Santa Fe County jail, has said his staff does not honor immigration detainers unless an inmate is suspected of a

In brief WASHINGTON — Both houses of Congress scolded the nation’s highway safety agency Tuesday over its tardy handling of a deadly problem with General Motors cars, questioning whether it is competent to guarantee the safety of increasingly complex vehicles. David Friedman, acting chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, repeatedly defended his agency during a Senate hearing as lawmakers accused him of failing to take responsibility for missing multiple clues that could have saved lives in the recall of GM small cars with faulty ignition switches. The action came on a rough day for the beleaguered agency. On Tuesday morning, majority Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee released a report saying NHTSA should have discovered GM’s faulty ignition switches in 2007, seven years before the company recalled 2.6 million cars to fix the deadly problem. At least 19 people died in crashes caused by the faulty switches in GM small cars. Lawmakers have said they expect the death toll to rise to near 100.

Suspect in trooper killing may be planning mass murder BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. — Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out across the dense northeastern Pennsylvania woods Tuesday in the hunt for a heavily armed survivalist suspected of ambushing two troopers as part of a deadly vendetta against police. Eric Matthew Frein, 31, of Canadensis is “extremely dangerous” and residents in the area should be alert and cautious, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said at a news conference. “He has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also to commit mass acts of murder,” Noonan said. “What his reasons are, we don’t know.” Frein was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder, homicide of a law enforcement officer and other offenses.

Poll: Blacks, Hispanics have doubts about media accuracy WASHINGTON — A new study shows a large majority of African American and Hispanic news consumers don’t fully trust the media to portray their communities accurately, a statistic that could be troubling for the news industry as the minority population of the United States grows. Three-fourths of African American news consumers and two-thirds of Hispanics have doubts about what mainstream media report about their communities, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Media Insight Project. And while most say it’s become easier to get news generally in the last five years, few feel the same way about news regarding their own community, the survey said. African Americans and Latinos currently make up a third of the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By 2043, the number of minorities is expected to eclipse the number of non-Hispanic whites, with the total minority population reaching 57 percent by 2060.

Poverty rate in the U.S. drops for the first time since 2006 WASHINGTON — The poverty rate in the United States has dropped for the first time since 2006. The U.S. Census Bureau, in its annual look at poverty in the United States, said the poverty rate in 2013 was 14.5 percent, down from 15 percent in 2012. The median household income for families was $65,587 in 2013, and $31,178 nonfamily households. However, census officials said that income is 8 percent less than it was in 2007, the year before the United States entered the recession. Officials also say that the number of children under 18 in poverty declined from the previous year for the first time since 2000. New Mexican wire services

Space program to fly commercial NASA picks Boeing and SpaceX to ferry astronauts By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ASA is a giant step closer to launching Americans again from U.S. soil. On Tuesday, the space agency announced it has picked Boeing and SpaceX to transport astronauts to the International Space Station in the next few years. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden named the winners of the competition at Kennedy Space Center, next door to where the launches should occur in a few years. The deal will end NASA’s expensive reliance on Russia to ferry astronauts to the space station. NASA has set a goal of 2017 for the first launch under the program. Boeing, the veteran of the competitors, would assemble its crew capsules at Kennedy. The new California-based SpaceX is already delivering supplies to the space station; its crew capsule is a version of its cargo carrier. NASA will pay the companies $6.8 billion — $4.2 billion to Boeing and $2.6 billion to SpaceX. The third major contender, Sierra Nevada Corp., was developing a mini-shuttle in Colorado. U.S. astronauts have been riding Russian rockets ever since NASA’s space shuttles retired in 2011. The latest price tag is $71 million per seat; NASA has at least four of its own astronauts flying up on a Russian Soyuz, to the space station, every year. The commercial crew program follows the successful cargo delivery effort underway for the past two years, also under NASA contract. The objective, for years, has been for NASA to hand space station flights to private companies and focus on getting astronauts into true outer space, with destinations such as asteroids and

Mars. NASA is prepping its first-ever Orion space exploration capsule for a test flight in December. Billionaire Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. — SpaceX for short — became the first private company to launch a spacecraft into orbit and retrieve it in 2010. The SpaceX Dragon capsule made its first space station trip, with astronaut supplies, in 2012. The Dragon cargo carrier has been enhanced to carry as many as seven astronauts. It’s known as Dragon v2 — version two. While SpaceX is proud of its cargo deliveries, “the company was not founded to bring T-shirts and food and water up to space, it was founded to bring people into space,” program manager Garrett Reisman, a former space station astronaut, told an industry conference late last month. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Virginia, which also makes unmanned space station shipments, did not vie for crew-carrying privileges. Boeing’s entry was also a capsule, called CST-100. The letters stand for Crew Space Transportation, and the number refers to 100 kilometers or 62 miles, the official start of space. Sierra Nevada had the most novel entry, a winged, lifting body vehicle strongly reminiscent of NASA’s space shuttle. Its name: Dream Chaser. Both the CST-100 and Dream Chaser called for flying atop an Atlas V rocket. The manned SpaceX capsule would use the company’s own Falcon 9 rocket. Cape Canaveral will be the sole launch site. NASA paid each of these three major contenders hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years to spur development. Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company in Washington state received NASA funding in the early rounds of competition, then said it would continue working on its own, unfunded by the government. The company had given sparse details about its progress and intent.

WASHINGTON — HealthCare. gov, the health insurance website serving more than 5 million Americans, has significant security flaws that put users’ personal information at risk, nonpartisan congressional investigators have concluded. The Government Accountability Office said the Obama administration must resolve more than 20 specific security issues related to who can get into the system, who can make changes in it and what to do in case the complex network fails. GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, found that the administration took a major risk going live with HealthCare.gov last fall when the system was still not fully tested. Some testing was incomplete as of June. While the administration “has taken important steps to apply security and privacy safeguards to HealthCare.gov and its supporting systems, significant weaknesses remain that put these systems and the sensitive, personal information they contain at risk of compromise,” Gregory Wilshusen, GAO’s director of information security, said in testimony prepared for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The committee released his testimony Tuesday. GAO’s accompanying 78-page report was released later. The website collects sensitive personal information including names, birth dates, Social Security numbers and family income. Multiple federal and state agencies as well as many contractors have access. Yet the report found there’s no common understanding of security requirements among all the players. The agency running HealthCare.gov “had not always required or enforced strong password controls, adequately restricted access to the Internet, consistently implemented software patches and properly configured an administrative network,” the report said. Responding for the administration, Health and Human Services spokesman Aaron Albright said that the changing nature of threats makes website security an evolving process and that officials have already acted on many of the recommendations. In its public assessment, the GAO outlined six broad areas where more work needs to done. They ranged from basics like following recommended best practices to a comprehensive test of all elements of the system. In an accompanying report that was not publicly released, Wilshusen said the agency listed 22 specific technical recommendations to fix security flaws. He said the administration agreed with all the specific recommendations, although not with some of the broader suggestions.

Yucca Mountain nuke facility derailed Sen. Harry Reid ensures Nevada site will remain dead By Erica Werner The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Amid action in Congress to intensify the fight against Islamic State militants, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found time Tuesday for an issue closer to home — ensuring that a nuclear waste dump in his home state of Nevada remains mothballed even after the government has spent $15 billion on it. Reid devoted floor time to confirming two nominees to the agency that oversees the nation’s nuclear reactors. That means a Democratic-appointed majority will weigh any further steps related to creating a

national nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, located 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nev. The confirmations come as Republicans have begun talking about trying to revive the Yucca Mountain project if they retake the Senate in November. The Obama administration, under pressure from Reid, abandoned the project early in the president’s first term, leaving tens of thousands of tons of spent fuel sitting at nuclear reactors around the country with nowhere to go. “There’s been a huge investment made there and we’ve got to find a solution to store

Syrian plane shot down as attacks intensify By Anne Barnard and Hwaida Saad The New York Times

BEIRUT — The warring parties in Syria have launched newly assertive attacks on several fronts in recent days, seeking to gain ground and a psychological advantage ahead of an intensified U.S. campaign against extremist Islamic State militants that could include the first U.S. airstrikes inside Syria. On Tuesday, fighters with the Islamic State said they had shot down a Syrian military aircraft over their stronghold in the northern city of Raqqa, in what anti-government activists said was a first for the Islamic State. Syrian-led insurgent groups have brought down numerous Syrian military planes and helicopters in the past, but such attacks have grown rare recently as rivals of the Islamic State struggle to maintain arms supplies. The downed plane crashed into a house, killing eight occupants, said an activist in Raqqa who refused to give his name for fear of reprisal. Amid a three-year civil war that pits the government of President Bashar Assad against many insurgent and often rival factions, new attacks by the government in eastern Syria and by opponents of the Islamic State in Damascus demonstrated the volatility of the situation on the ground. It also showed the difficulty for the United States in striking the militants without allowing the Syrian government or al-Qaida-linked insurgents to take advantage of any weakening of

the Islamic State. While the combatants scrambled on the battlefield, the chairman of a U.N. investigatory panel on human rights said in Geneva that he “had run out of words to depict the gravity of the crimes committed inside Syria.” In a report to the Human Rights Council, the chairman, Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, said that even as the Islamic State carries out atrocities, the Syrian government “remains responsible for the majority of the civilian casualties, killing and maiming scores of civilians daily.” He described killing “from a distance” by shelling and aerial bombardment and “up close at checkpoints and in its interrogation rooms,” presenting a report that also included new details of killings that were the work of the Islamic State. Pinheiro reiterated that the panel had repeatedly urged the U.N. Security Council and influential states to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court and to push for a political settlement. Their inaction “nourished the violence” consuming Syria, he told the council. The Islamic State has been “its most recent beneficiary,” he said. Both the Syrian government and its opponents say they are fighting the militant group, which has sought to impose a brutal interpretation of Islamic rule on areas it controls and in June swept into much of Iraq and declared an Islamic caliphate. The Syrian government has offered to join the U.S. coalition but has said

that any strikes not coordinated with Syrian officials would violate its sovereignty. However, President Barack Obama has ruled out working with Assad’s government. The speaker of Syria’s Parliament, Mohammad al-Lahham, addressed letters to congressional leaders Tuesday urging them to rethink U.S. policy and seeking to persuade lawmakers that Syria is on the side of the United States against extremism. He argued that the arming of any insurgents, even those the United States calls moderate, violated Security Council Resolution 2170 calling for member states to stop the flow of foreign fighters into Syria. He said Washington should share intelligence with Syria and put pressure on Turkey to better track the flow of militants into Syria and on the Saudis to stop promoting extremist ideology. In Damascus on Tuesday, security forces carried out intensive raids in the Midan neighborhood, after insurgents not affiliated with the Islamic State infiltrated the district at dawn Monday and clashed with government troops. It was the first ground attack in months across the broad bypass highway that divides the restive suburbs from the governmentcontrolled city center. State media said that insurgents entered through the sewer system and that all were killed. Rami alSayed, an insurgent spokesman in the Yarmouk refugee camp nearby, said that fighters from Islamist groups, including the Qaida-linked Nusra

Front and Ahrar al-Sham, entered from the south, attacking a checkpoint and clashing with government soldiers. Tallies of the insurgent death toll ranged from three to 18. The Nusra Front said in a statement that it killed numerous government fighters, including four security officers it had captured. The government appeared to take the threat seriously after more than a year in which it has solidly held central Damascus, even as insurgents lobbed mortars into the city. Security forces were carrying out mass arrests and “storming and searching houses and shops,” said Firas al-Nabisi, a resident of the nearby Zahra district. Damascus has been accused of allowing the Islamic State to operate virtually with impunity in eastern Syria, to prove Assad’s point that he is essential to combat terrorism. Lately, however, the government has been striking back. On Monday, the Syrian army blew up a bridge in the eastern provincial capital of Deir al-Zour, cutting off an area held by the group, according to state media and insurgent spokesmen. Then, on Tuesday, a government airstrike in northern Syria targeted Jamal Maarouf, the commander of the Syrian Revolutionaries Front, one of the insurgent groups the U.S. has deemed relatively moderate. Maarouf escaped the attack on the group’s headquarters, but it killed his wife and daughter and his deputy, Faisal Maarouf, two anti-government activists said.

Open: Dempsey says hands-off approach might fail Continued from Page A-1 campaign to a war-weary American public. Obama, seeking to allay fears of another Iraq war, has promised that U.S. ground troops will not be involved in fighting the Islamic State, also known by the acronyms ISIS or ISIL. In a sign of the administration’s mixed message, the president pointedly did not call it a war, while his advisers later did. But the realities of a prolonged campaign, Dempsey said, could make such a hands-off approach untenable, particularly if the battle against the militants moves into densely-populated cities where airstrikes are less effective and the chances of civilian casualties are much higher. His candid testimony, hours before a divided House of Representatives began debating whether or not to approve Obama’s request for authority to arm the Syrian rebels, drew expressions of concern from anti-war groups and could further complicate the political dynamic for the president. The White House insisted on Tuesday that Obama was not shifting his policy and that Dempsey was not out of sync with his commander in chief. “It’s the responsibility of the president’s military advisers to plan and consider all the wide range of contingencies,” the White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, said to reporters. “It’s also the responsibility of the commander in chief to set out a clear policy.” On Wednesday, Obama is scheduled to get a briefing from his military commanders at the Pentagon’s Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Florida. The rare visit is described by White House officials as part of his effort to mobilize public support for the mission. But it is also calculated to soothe tensions with the military over who is in charge of the

operation after Obama named retired Gen. John R. Allen to be his special envoy to the coalition of countries fighting the Islamic State. Allen will be based at the State Department. Already, Obama’s policy has been tested by his commanders. Dempsey said Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, who oversees Central Command, had recommended putting special operations troops on the ground to direct airstrikes during a recent campaign by Iraqi and Kurdish forces to retake the Mosul Dam from the extremist militants. Obama rejected that recommendation, and Dempsey said the United States used technology — a drone known as a Rover — to compensate for not having its own advisers on the ground. The U.S. advisers remained in the Kurdish capital of Irbil. The challenge will come, Dempsey said, when Iraqi and Kurdish forces try to drive militants out of denselypopulated urban areas like Mosul. In those cases, Dempsey said, he might recommend deploying special operations troops to provide what he called “close combat advising,” essentially working alongside Iraqi commanders in the field and helping them direct their troops to targets. While the Americans would not fire weapons themselves, military experts said there was little practical distinction between the role Dempsey described at the hearing and actual combat. “We’ve already got ground forces introduced and they are performing combat missions,” Paul D. Eaton, a retired Army general who helped train the Iraqi security forces and is now a senior adviser to the National Security Network, said Tuesday. “I applaud the general for his candor. That will help the president and the debate greatly “ Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel testified along with Dempsey, but

their appearance appeared to do little to dispel concerns on Capitol Hill. They said the campaign would include the training and equipping of 5,000 Syrian fighters, the involvement of more than 40 coalition nations, including 30 that have pledged military support. But members of the armed services committee sounded far from convinced that the plan would succeed. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he doubted that 5,000 Syrian fighters, who could not be trained for months, would be able to fight off more than 30,000 Islamic State combatants. “To many of us that seems like an inadequate response,” he said. Sen. Angus King of Maine, an independent who votes with Democrats, said he was concerned about what appeared to be a “Whac-A-Mole” approach to the terrorism threat. With a vote by the House on

authorizing funding for training and arming the Syrian opposition possible on Wednesday afternoon, Republican leaders were carefully gauging support, a sign that the vote could be closer than they would like. Lawmakers on the left and the right threatened to vote against the authorization, but for different reasons. Many Republicans refuse to support a plan they say is too circumscribed and halfhearted. Reluctant Democrats argue it is imprudent to arm a group of rebels who have no clear allegiances to the United States. “It’s clearly not enough,” said Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., who sits on the Intelligence Committee. “If ISIS is truly a national security threat that needs to be destroyed, then we need to destroy them. And anybody you talk to who knows what they’re talking about believes that arming the rebels is insufficient.”

U.S. cities take part in anti-terror program By Amy Forliti The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul will participate in a Department of Justice pilot program designed to engage at-risk communities and stop extremists from recruiting Americans to join terror organizations overseas, U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said Tuesday. Luger, who announced the Twin Cities’ participation in an interview with The Associated Press, said the program will bring more national expertise and resources to address terror recruiting in Minnesota to “build what we hope will be a model for the rest of the country.” The goals, he said, are to engage the community and build trust to put a stop to recruiting. Two other cities will also participate in the pilots, announced a day earlier by Attorney General Eric Holder. Those cities have not been publicly named. Authorities in Minnesota are investigating how a handful of people were recruited to travel to Syria and take up arms with militants. At least one Minnesota man has died, and some families fear their daughters have also gone overseas to take up the cause. Several Somalis have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury — some as recently as last week. Luger said it would be hard to quantify whether Minnesota is seeing more recruiting than other areas, but he said the state’s large Somali population is a natural target for recruiters. “The Somali community here deserves to live in peace and security and what is happening with a small number of people within their community is disturbing to them,” he said. “So we in the federal government owe it to our community leaders, our religious leaders, to make every effort to help them combat this.” The pilot program — which brings together prosecutors, religious leaders, local law enforcement and community representatives — is a natural for Minnesota, which has already been held up as an international example for its efforts in reaching out to at-risk communities. Outreach efforts have been a focus for law enforcement since more than 22 men began traveling to Somalia to join the terror group al-Shabab years ago. Luger has already participated in regular dinners with imams, one-on-one meetings with community leaders and quarterly discussions with security officials. He said the pilot brings several new elements to the table. Among them, his office now has access to national and international experts on radicalism and recruiting, and can use them to help community members put together public service announcements or other messages — perhaps with the help of the music industry or Hollywood — to counter extremist views that kids may see on social media. He said his office is also bringing in resources from social services agencies, school systems and mental health experts, so a family with a child at risk of recruitment knows where to go for help. In addition, he said, all three pilot cities are being asked to tell senior officials in Washington what resources they need. Luger said his office is working on proposals, and will have talks with those officials in October. He didn’t get into details, but said his office is looking at resources relating to community engagement.

Battle: Candidates also disagree on how widespread voter fraud is Continued from Page A-1 off-year elections, but who tend to vote for Democrats when they do vote. The governing bodies in Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties both voted to put a question about how voters feel about decriminalizing marijuana on their general election ballots. Both counties have sued Duran, and the state high court is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday. “Our military should be receiving their ballots by the 20th, which is this coming Saturday,” Duran said. “It’s very important and critical that those ballots go out on time. For the Supreme Court to have scheduled next Tuesday to address this issue is of serious concern for me.” She argued the matter is a federal issue because of a federal law requiring absentee ballots for the military ballots be sent at a certain time. Oliver said she doesn’t think it’s up to her to decide on the legality of putting the question on the ballot. Her job as clerk, she said, was “to take things the County Commission approves and place them on the ballot.”

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

“What’s been going on this last week is due to the secretary of state’s disagreement with the [Bernalillo]

County Commission. I have been prevented from doing my statutory obligation in preparing and mailing

out those ballots. And to the extent the Supreme Court is weighing in, and preventing us from mailing them out by Saturday. If the secretary of state would only cooperate and allow me to mail those ballots on Saturday, we could deal with those legal questions later and the ballots would go out on time.” Duran and Oliver also disagreed, along predictable party lines, on whether voting fraud is a widespread problem in the state. All over the country, Republicans have said voteridentification laws are needed to prevent voter fraud, while Democrats say the GOP exaggerates the problem to try to suppress the vote among minorities, who are more likely to not have photo identification. New Mexico does not have a voter ID law. “Voter fraud exists,” Duran said. “I have seen it, I have investigated it, and I have turned over cases of voter fraud to a district attorney.” She said she was talking about the case of Sunland Park. Duran said she turned over 23 names to the district attorney, and six of those were convicted. Duran said voter fraud doesn’t have

to be “widespread” to be a problem. “Any time there’s one case, that’s one too many for me.” Oliver said she agrees that voter fraud exists, but that cases in which someone votes at the polls under someone else’s name are very rare. She pointed to a recent study at Loyola Marymount University that found 31 credible cases in the U.S. since 2000. “That’s over a billion votes cast,” Oliver said. She quipped, “Every single one of us in this room” had better odds of winning an Academy Award than in-person voter fraud taking place. “I think this is painted as such a big problem that we need to institute these extremely strict rules on the voting process to prevent it from happening,” Oliver said. “What we do know [is that] when we do that, anywhere between 10 and 12 percent of the population will be disenfranchised. That’s way worse in my opinion.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@ sfnewmexican.com. Read his political blog at www.santafenewmexican.com/ news/blogs/politics

Continued from Page A-1 licenses. By itself, a driver’s license from New Mexico or any other state is not sufficient to get a new license. In an interview after speaking to the convention of sheriffs at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe, Martinez was asked specifically about Georgia’s laws to get a driver’s license, which are far more extensive than she described. Martinez said she never before had mentioned Georgia as a state vulnerable to fraud because of New Mexico’s licensing law. But Martinez, a Republican who is running for re-election this fall against Democrat Gary King, stuck to her basic point. She said there are states that allow a simple exchange of a New Mexico license to obtain a new driver’s license. She said this is one of the reasons she continues campaigning to repeal the 2003 state law that allows people without proof of immigration status to obtain a New Mexico driver’s license. Marcela Diaz, executive director of the Santa Fe-based immigrant advocacy group Somos Un Pueblo Unido, said later that Martinez was either not versed in the facts or was intentionally trying to mislead people for political gain. “Based on her record on this issue, I believe it’s the latter,” Diaz said. “There’s not one state where you walk into a motor vehicle office, simply show a driver’s license, and walk out with a driver’s license from the new state. All states, New Mexico included, require supporting identification.” New York’s Department of Motor Vehicles says on its website that it allows “transfers” of driver’s licenses from other states or Canada. But a careful reading of New York’s licensing laws shows that state requires other identification, such as a valid U.S. passport, a Social Security card, a valid U.S. military identification card or, for younger drivers, a high school photo identification with a report card. When Martinez ran for governor in 2010, she made New Mexico’s immigrant licensing law one of her chief issues, saying the law was a magnet for fraud and a threat to national security. Cheats from Poland, Mexico and other countries have traveled to New Mexico and portrayed themselves as state residents to get licenses. Many were caught and prosecuted. Washington was the only state with a licensing law mirroring New Mexico’s. But since then, California, Colorado, Illinois and a half-dozen states have approved laws allowing undocumented immigrants driving privileges. One distinction is that those states issue immigrant licenses with identifying marks distinguishing them from legal residents’ licenses. All New Mexico licenses, for foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, look the same. Proponents of New Mexico’s licensing law, such as state Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, say it improves public safety. Those with licenses must pass driving tests, and they are listed in police databases. Egolf and numerous other Democrats also say New Mexico’s economy profits from the licensing law. For instance, the lobbyist for the state’s famous green chile industry says all the harvesters are Mexican nationals. Their average age is 60. Diaz said the immigrant licensing law enables these and other employees who are critical to the state’s economy to drive to work. “The law is not a problem, but it’s a way for the governor to avoid real issues that are,” Diaz said. Martinez told the sheriffs that she would continue her attempts to repeal New Mexico’s licensing law, and that the public is on her side. She cited one poll by the Albuquerque Journal showing that more than 70 percent of New Mexicans opposed the licensing law. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

of Counties. “It’s about what’s the responsible thing for counties to do given the information they have and the fiscal consequences.” DeYapp said another reason why he changed his policy was to be able to save taxpayers’ money. He said he runs his jail on a $4 million annual budget, and federal authorities do not reimburse him for detaining an inmate longer than he is otherwise required to do. It costs about $79 a day to house an inmate and about $150 day for an inmate with medical problems, he said. “The faster we get them out of here, the better,” he said. DeYapp, who has been the

jail director since 2009, said the jail houses between five and 12 people annually who are suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Immigration policy experts say the issue might wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court. “This is kind of made for it,” said Daniel Chand, a New Mexico State University professor who studies immigration enforcement policies. “We’re seeing power of the states versus power of the federal government.” There were a total of 3,196 immigration detainers on New Mexico inmates for fiscal years 2012 and 2013, according to data analyzed by Transactional

Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Out of that number, 61 percent of those inmates had not been convicted of any crime when ICE placed a detainer on the inmates, the data say. Tomás Campos, the Rio Arriba County manager, said his administration and the county’s three commissioners fully support DeYapp’s new policy. Campos said the commission is scheduled to vote on a resolution supporting the policy at a Sept. 25 meeting. Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@ sfnewmexican.com.

Parliament, which could confirm the nominees with a simple majority, voted 118-117 against Ghareeb, and 131-108 against alJabberi. “The failure of the parliament to agree on the candidates to fill the posts of interior and defense ministers shows clearly that the gap among and inside political groups are still huge and that each bloc is pursuing its own ambitions,” said lawmaker Mutashar al-Samarie. “I think that the posts of defense and interior minister should be kept away from sectarian power sharing. Iraq’s prob-

lems in Iraq can be solved only by bringing independent and efficient people to fill ministerial posts.” Ahead of the vote, two lawmakers, Hussein al-Maliki and Mohammed Saadoun, told The Associated Press that the selection of Ghareeb met with some contention, mostly from the Shiite Badr Brigade, a powerful militia with close ties to neighboring Iran. Ghareeb failed to win approval by a single vote. Hamid al-Mutlaq, a Sunni lawmaker, said many in parliament felt the two nominees were “not qualified” to hold the key posts.

was livid after reading the article in The New Mexican (“News groups appeal ruling that lets health audit stay secret,” Sept. 11). It is bad enough that the attorney general continues to hide the 2013 audit that drove New Mexico’s fragile public mental health system into total chaos. Now the attorney general claims it will take 6 ½ years to complete its investigation of the 15 providers. Perhaps, Gary King should spend less time on his sputtering gubernatorial campaign and more time on his job. Maybe he thinks that people with mental illness and their families do not vote. I will vote in November for every office but governor. I am a lifelong, yellow-dog Democrat, but I cannot in good conscience vote for Gary King. Kathryn Lynnes

F Israel’s war crimes Jacob Amir’s column (“Israel has the right to defend itself,” My View, Aug. 31) and the announcement that Israel will expropriate 1,000 acres of Palestinian land, expose Israel’s real intentions to establish Eretz Israel from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River. Israel uses excuses — such as the fair election of Hamas in 2006 and the efforts of Palestinians to break the Gaza blockade — to further oppress the Palestinians. It would be a simple matter for Israel to minimize the deaths of Palestinian civilians; don’t fire upon them. A review of facts shows that Israel intentionally antagonized a military response from Gaza, which had adhered to the previous cease-

fire conditions even though Israel did not. Hamas’ rockets are ineffectual and did not require Israel’s disproportionate response. Israel has committed war crimes. It is afraid that the recognition of Palestine by the international community will force it into an awkward position; i.e., being hauled before the International Criminal Court. Brian O’Keefe

Understaffed PMC I had rotator cuff day surgery at Christus St. Vincent Physicians Medical Center in July. Because of low oxygen levels, my anesthesiologist recommended I remain overnight for observation. Only a

hospitalist could admit me. Staff at the center told me there is a full-time hospitalist only from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Other hours have an on-call hospitalist. The on-call hospitalist was caring for other patients. I spent six hours — five clearly unnecessary ones — on an uncomfortable gurney in recovery because transport to my reserved room was prohibited without a signed hospitalist order. I demanded to speak to an administrator but was told there is none on duty at the center. Correct staffing would obviate the self-serving television and newspaper advertisements to cover up inadequate patient services. Stuart L. Stein

COMMENTARY: MICHAEL T. OSTERHOLM

Ebola virus could change history’s course

T

A-7

MINNEAPOLIS

he Ebola epidemic in West Africa has the potential to alter history as much as any plague has ever done.

There have been more than 4,300 cases and 2,300 deaths over the past six months. Last week, the World Health Organization warned that, by early October, there may be thousands of new cases per week in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. What is not getting said publicly, despite briefings and discussions in the inner circles of the world’s public health agencies, is that we are in totally uncharted waters and that Mother Nature is the only force in charge of the crisis at this time. There are two possible future chapters to this story that should keep us up at night. The first possibility is that the Ebola virus spreads from West Africa to megacities in other regions of the developing world. This outbreak is very different from the 19 that have occurred in Africa over the past 40 years. It is much easier to control Ebola infections in isolated villages. But there has been a 300 percent increase in Africa’s population over the last four decades, much of it in large city slums. What happens when an infected person yet to become ill travels by plane to Lagos, Nairobi, Kinshasa or Mogadishu — or even Karachi, Jakarta, Mexico City or Dhaka? The second possibility is one that virologists are loath to discuss openly but are definitely considering in private: that an Ebola virus could mutate to become transmissible through the air. You can now get Ebola only through direct contact with bodily fluids. But viruses like Ebola are notoriously sloppy in replicating,

meaning the virus entering one person may be genetically different from the virus entering the next. The current Ebola virus’ hyper-evolution is unprecedented; there has been more human-to-human transmission in the past four months than most likely occurred in the last 500 to 1,000 years. Each new infection represents trillions of throws of the genetic dice. If certain mutations occurred, it would mean that just breathing would put one at risk of contracting Ebola. Infections could spread quickly to every part of the globe, as the H1N1 influenza virus did in 2009 after its birth in Mexico. Why are public officials afraid to discuss this? They don’t want to be accused of screaming “Fire!” in a crowded theater — as I’m sure some will accuse me of doing. But the risk is real, and until we consider it, the world will not be prepared to do what is necessary to end the epidemic. So what must we do that we are not doing? First, we need someone to take over the position of “command and control.” The United Nations is the only international organization that can direct the immense amount of medical, public health and humanitarian aid that must come from many different countries and nongovernmental groups to smother this epidemic. Thus far it has played at best a collaborating role, and with everyone in charge, no one is in charge. A Security Council resolution could give the United Nations total responsibility for controlling the outbreak, while respecting West African nations’ sovereignty as much as possible. The United Nations could, for instance, secure aircraft and landing rights. Many private airlines are refusing to fly into the affected countries, making it very difficult to deploy critical supplies and personnel. The Group of 7 countries’ military air

and ground support must be brought in to ensure supply chains for medical and infection-control products, as well as food and water for quarantined areas. The United Nations should provide whatever number of beds are needed; the World Health Organization has recommended 1,500, but we may need thousands more. It should also coordinate the recruitment and training around the world of medical and nursing staff, in particular by bringing in local residents who have survived Ebola and are no longer at risk of infection. Many countries are pledging medical resources, but donations will not result in an effective treatment system if no single group is responsible for coordinating them. Finally, we have to remember that Ebola isn’t West Africa’s only problem. Tens of thousands die there each year from diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have among the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Because people are now too afraid of contracting Ebola to go to the hospital, very few are getting basic medical care. In addition, many health care workers have been infected with Ebola, and more than 120 have died. Liberia has only 250 doctors left, for a population of 4 million. This is about humanitarianism and self-interest. If we wait for vaccines and new drugs to arrive to end the Ebola epidemic, instead of taking major action now, we risk the disease’s reaching from West Africa to our own backyards. Michael T. Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, wrote this column for The New York Times.

orget whether Gary King’s comment that Gov. Susana Martinez does not have a “Latino heart” is offensive. That goes without saying. Such loaded language shouldn’t be part of a campaign anyway, even if it’s coming from another Latina. (After his first offensive comments, rather than shutting up, King claimed he was quoting labor activist Dolores Huerta.) What matters most is that the comment is dumb. It takes attention away from where the lagging Democratic candidate needs to focus it — on Martinez’s record as governor and how he believes his ideas are stronger. The comment shows, once more, a candidate who can’t make his case. According to the latest statewide polls, King is losing, not gaining, support in his uphill race to defeat the incumbent Republican governor. The Albuquerque Journal poll found Martinez at 55 percent and King at an anemic 36 percent. Beating an incumbent is a two-step process. One is getting voters to answer this question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago? That discussion can generally cut through the noise — and for many New Mexicans, considering the state’s stagnant job growth, that answer could be no. Add in the teachers who feel targeted by too many tests and flawed evaluations, mix in the people whose mental health services were upended, and just in that initial reckoning, you’d find folks who might believe they are doing worse, not better, than four years ago. Even with a popular incumbent, having such a base gives the upstart candidate a launching pad — should he or she be able to use it. However, King has not made a very public argument contrasting his approach and that of the governor’s. His campaign lacks money and focus. Dithering means King hasn’t even come close to reaching the second step, persuading voters that if they don’t like the status quo, that choosing the challenger is a better alternative. Judging from the turmoil in his campaign (a third campaign manager just left), King likely won’t be making his pivot to argue that he’s the best choice for governor any time soon. That means voters don’t get the debate on the future of New Mexico that the issues demand. At the least, they can hope King will stop making dumb statements. They don’t help him or citizens.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 17, 1914: Albuquerque — It is reported on the street here that following a conference between the publishers of the Morning Journal, Bull Andrews, Ralph C. Ely and others, the morning paper has agreed to publish a retraction of its charges against B.C. Hernandez, Republican candidate for Congress. Ely, who leaves tonight for Santa Fe, would neither confirm nor deny the story. It is said the possibilities of further libel suits at this time have had the owners of the paper badly worried and that a full retraction will be made. Sept. 17, 1964: The state’s bribery case against EG, former editor of a Santa Fe weekly newspaper, has been postponed again. The attorneys on both sides had agreed to the postponement. G is charged with giving a $320 bribe to a former chief of the delinquent tax section of the state Tax Commission in 1962. The substance of the investigation is related to tax deeds. Sept. 17, 1989: The Santa Fe County Rainbow Coalition had so impressed Rep. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., that he offered the group $1,200 last spring for expenses so it could further solidify itself as a political force. Richardson found the grass-roots idealists inspired by two-time presidential candidate Jesse Jackson so influential that he wanted the group on his side as he worked his way through New Mexico’s political woods.

even though the obesity rate may be stable, fat distribution may be changing, which would mean that we shouldn’t be complacent about the plateau,” said Dietz, who was not involved in the study. Dr. Earl Ford, a CDC researcher and the study’s lead author, said the seemingly contradictory trends are puzzling. He said it could be that Americans are exercising less and getting flabby. But because fat weighs less than muscle, they are not necessarily getting heavier. The study cites other possible reasons for the increase in belly fat, including sleep deprivation and certain medicines. Also, researchers said the increase might be related to pesticides, the plastics additive BPA and other chemicals that mimic hormones that can affect weight. Belly fat not only makes people look apple-shaped but often means fat has built up deep inside the body. Compared with fat that lies closer to the surface, this “visceral” fat secretes lower levels of beneficial hormones and higher levels of inflammatory substances linked to obesityrelated ailments, Dr. Lisa Neff, an obesity specialist at Northwestern University. “In people of the same weight, the person who carries weight around the middle is going to have higher risks” of obesity-related ailments, Neff said. Ford said that for both kinds of obesity, the bottomline message for patients is probably the same: diet and exercise.

CHICAGO he number of American men and women with big-bellied, appleshaped figures — the most dangerous kind of obesity — has climbed at a startling rate over the past decade, according to a government study. People whose fat has settled mostly around their waistlines instead of in their hips, thighs, buttocks or all over are known to run a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and other obesity-related ailments. Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults have abdominal obesity, up from 46 percent in 1999-2000, researchers reported in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. Abdominal obesity is defined as a waistline of more than 35 inches in women and more than 40 inches in men. During the 12-year period studied, the average waist size in the U.S. expanded to 38 inches for women, a gain of 2 inches. It grew to 40 inches for men, a 1-inch increase. “The increase is a concern. There’s no question about that,” said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert formerly with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, now at George Washington University. The expansion in waistlines came even as the overall level of obesity — as defined not by waist size but by body mass index, or BMI, a weightto-height ratio — held fairly steady. “What it suggests is that

U.N. says children’s mortality rate falling By Rick Gladstone The New York Times

The global mortality rate for children younger than 5 has dropped by nearly half since 1990, the United Nations said Tuesday in an annual report on progress aimed at ensuring child survival, but the decline still falls short of meeting the organization’s goal of a twothirds reduction by next year. Without accelerated improvements in reducing health risks to young children, the report said, that goal will not be reached until 2026, 11 years behind schedule. Nearly all of the countries with the highest mortality rates are in Africa, the report said, and two countries that are among the world’s most populous — India and Nigeria — account for nearly a third of all deaths among children younger than 5. A collaboration of UNICEF, other U.N. agencies and the World Bank, the report provides a barometer of health care and nutrition in every country. A child mortality rate can be a potent indicator of other elements in a country’s basic quality of life. The report showed that the mortality rate for children younger than 5, the most vulnerable period, fell to 46 deaths per 1,000 live births last year, from 90 per 1,000 births in 1990. It also showed that the gap in mor-

tality rates between the richest and poorest households had fallen in all regions over most of the past two decades, except for sub-Saharan Africa. The report attributed much of the progress to broad interventions over the years against leading infectious diseases in some of the most impoverished regions, including immunizations and the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, as well improvements in health care to expectant mothers and in battling the effects of diarrhea and other dehydrating maladies that pose acute risks to the young. “There has been dramatic and accelerating progress in reducing mortality among children, and the data prove that success is possible even for poorly resourced countries,” Dr. Mickey Chopra, the head of global health programs for UNICEF, said in a statement about the report’s conclusions. Geeta Rao Gupta, UNICEF’s deputy executive director, said, “The data clearly demonstrate that an infant’s chances of survival increase dramatically when their mother has sustained access to quality health care during pregnancy and delivery.” The report noted that “a child’s risk of dying increases if she or he is born in a remote rural area, into a poor household or to a mother with no education.”

County joins high court suit over pot question marijuana. Commissioners in both counties approved ballot measures asking voters if 1 ounce or less of marijuana should be decriminalized, but Secretary of State Dianna Duran, the state’s top elections official, blocked their efforts last week, saying that such advisory questions can’t be placed on voters’ ballots. The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a lawsuit brought by Bernalillo County to force Duran to put advisory questions about marijuana and taxes on that

county’s ballot. The court has scheduled a hearing next Tuesday, Sept. 23, and has ordered a stay on the final Bernalillo County ballot until the case is heard. Duran, a Republican who is seeking re-election in November against Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a Democrat, issued a news release Tuesday expressing “great disappointment” with the Supreme Court’s actions regarding the Bernalillo County ballot.

Federal law, she said, requires New Mexico to send ballots to military personnel no later than Saturday, Sept. 20, just three days before the hearing. She said she’s asked her legal counsel to file a motion in federal court to remove the case from the state Supreme Court. Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar said Santa Fe County is hoping the justices will approve its petition, too, and delay its ballot until a court decision on the marijuana question.

County OKs moratorium, blocks mine Attorney says ordinance aims to ensure projects meet new development codes By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

commissioned last year to make the statue. The piece was cast at the Shidoni Foundry outside Tesuque. It will be formally dedicated on Oct. 5 by Michael Vono, the Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande.

The Santa Fe County Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a 12-month emergency moratorium on pending applications and permits for junkyards, landfills and sand and gravel operations that involve blasting. The vote temporarily halts a controversial application by an Albuquerque landowner and aggregate company to put a basalt mining operation on top of La Bajada mesa near Waldo Canyon Road south of Santa Fe. Commissioners were careful not to name the application by Rockology and Buena Vista Estates for the 50-acre basalt mine during Tuesday’s public hearing on the moratorium. Commission Chairman Danny Mayfield also told people who stood to speak during the hearing to comment only on the proposed moratorium and not on any specific project application. The dozen people who commented all supported the emergency moratorium except for Jim Siebert, an agent representing the mine applicants. The Rockology application for the La Bajada mine had generated an outpouring of opposition from hundreds of Santa Fe County residents and people from elsewhere in the state. Residents launched a Save La Bajada Mesa campaign. The County Commission held a couple of hours-long public hearings on the mine application but postponed a decision. A few weeks ago, the commission announced it would consider a 12-month moratorium on developments with “countywide impact.” “This is an easier out,” said Roger Taylor, a Galisteo resident, before the meeting. “Either way they voted [on the Rockology application], they were probably going to get sued.” Taylor told the commission during the public hearing that he supported the moratorium and had suggested a similar action a year ago, when Rockology and Buena Vista Estates applied for the mine. The basalt mine application for La Bajada mesa came after the county had adopted a Sustainable Land Development Code that was based on years of public input and staff work. The code affects every type of development in the county, from mines to housing. But the new code doesn’t take effect until a zoning map is adopted. The county is in the middle of holding public meetings to go over the proposed zoning map and expects to adopt one by Dec. 31. The code identifies some developments that will likely need special regulations because of their potential to affect nearby properties with an increase in noise and light pollution, traffic

Board appoints him as permanent president By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The Santa Fe Community College Governing Board unanimously voted Tuesday to appoint interim President Randy Grissom as its permanent president. The news was met with applause by about 30 college employees and support by community members and the chairmen of both the staff and faculty senates. “It’s time to bring someone to the college who will stabilize the ship,” Governing Board member Pablo Sedillo said after the vote. Grissom will be paid $175,000 a year but will not receive any of the perks afforded to his predecessors — discretionary funds or car and home allowances. The contract ends June 30, 2017, and includes a renewal option. The college is working to bridge an unexpected $5 million budget gap that Grissom said he discovered late last year while reviewing the school’s books. To address the gap, in August the Governing Board approved a number of measures, including a $5-per-credit-hour tuition hike for students starting in January, staff reductions and salary decreases for employees earning $30,000 or more. Grissom and the board also have asked the state’s Higher Education Department for an advance on the college’s state funding for the year and asked the state’s Board of Finance for a $500,000 loan to help the school get through the year. On Tuesday, the Board of Finance tabled the college’s request. The college also canceled about 140 classes this semester because they did not meet minimum enrollment standards. Last year, it canceled about 100 classes for the same reason. Making brief comments, Grissom told the assembly he is honored and humbled to take on the role and said his main goal is to “get our financial house back in order. … Our challenge

Tropical Storm Odile expected to rain on Southern N.M. By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Severe weather from the tropical storm that has caused flooding across Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula could bring up to 7 inches of rain to parts of already flooddamaged areas of New Mexico. The National Weather Service said severe weather from Tropical Storm Odile will move across most of New Mexico this week, with the heaviest rains expected Thursday in the southern part of

the state, where officials are concerned about flooding and mudslides in areas left bare by recent wildfires. “What we are concerned about is that this will be a long event,” said meteorologist Deirdre Kann. Flash-flood watches already are in effect through early Wednesday in parts of Southern and Central New Mexico along the Rio Grande and in the state’s southwest mountains. Officials said the storms could produce 1 to 3 inches of rain during short periods, creating the threat of flash flooding.

Otero County in Southern New Mexico also may see flooding Wednesday as severe weather could top spillways at Silver and Mescalero Lakes. In Las Cruces, officials said the Fire Department was handing out sandbags to help residents and businesses protect against flooding. While an active monsoon season has already caused damage across the state, the heavy rains are easing the state’s drought. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, less than 40 percent

of New Mexico is under severe drought, compared to 78 percent last year. Meteorologist Todd Shoemake said this season’s rain has made “a significant dent” in the state’s drought but conditions still aren’t where they need to be. The latest storms come after a weakening Tropical Storm Odile pushed up Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula early Tuesday. Los Cabos airport was damaged by the storm and Mexican television showed the terminal full of debris.

District stands by its teacher eval scores About 67 percent of Santa Fe Public Schools’ teachers were rated “effective” or better in the first year of the state’s new teacher-evaluation plan, according to a report the school board reviewed Tuesday night. The district’s Chief Information and Strategy Officer Richard Bowman presented the report, which reinforces the statistics given by Superintendent Joel Boyd in midAugust — about a week after the state said just under 50 percent of Santa Fe’s teachers were rated as “effective” or better. At that time, Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera said the district and the state compiled more complete data that altered the initial scores. She also said the Public Education Department would review the district’s new figures to confirm they are correct. Larry Behrens, a spokesman for the state department, said in an email Tuesday, “We are still working closely with Santa Fe Public Schools and are grateful for their efforts in implementing teacher evaluation.” The state initially said about 76 percent of teachers statewide were effective or better, and then, following more data collection and analysis, revised that number to just under 73 percent.

U.S. senator to ask Congress to suspend coal sales The Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — A U.S. senator said Tuesday he’ll ask fellow lawmakers to halt coal sales on federal lands in the West after a senior Obama administration official declined to suspend the troubled government program. Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey said the Interior Department moved too slowly on promised reforms since the Democrat raised concerns earlier this year that “bargain-basement” lease sales to a handful of mining companies

might have cost taxpayers $200 million or more. Investigators from the Government Accountability Office and the Interior Department have found a widespread lack of competition in the sale of coal leases on federal lands. The issue has grown more pressing as companies seek to ramp up coal exports to Asia, where coal prices can be much higher than in the U.S. More than 40 percent of U.S. coal production, or about 450 million tons a year, comes from public lands leased by the government to mining companies under

the century-old Mineral Leasing Act. Those leases bring in more than $1 billion in annual revenue. In a letter released Tuesday by Markey and first reported by The Boston Globe, U.S. Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze agreed that leasing reforms were needed. But Kornze wrote to Markey that a suspension of sales was unnecessary with changes to regulations already in the works. During the interim, Kornze said the BLM was working with Interior’s Office

of Valuation Services to make sure fairmarket value estimates are independently reviewed before sales are made. A protocol for those reviews could be developed before the end of the year. No timeline was offered for other potential changes, including updating the fees coal companies pay to rent public land and the minimum bid the government can accept. The Government Accountability Office found that almost 90 percent of the 107 coal tracts leased since 1990 received just a single bid.

Pot: Clerk says she certifies county portion of ballot Continued from Page B-1 legal weight but give elected officials a sense of where voters stand on controversial issues. “The secretary of state is the election official that certifies the state portion of the ballot,” Salazar said. “As county clerk, I certify the county portion of the

ballot.” She said she has certified the Santa Fe County ballot and has sent it to the Secretary of State’s Office, including the question about whether to make possession of a small amount of marijuana a civil infraction. In a news release Sept. 10, Duran said attorneys with the Secretary of State’s Office had

advised her that the two counties’ ballot questions were illegal and unconstitutional because they don’t adopt or reject public policy. She also said if the questions are allowed, other commissions and councils across the state will add to election expenses by using ballots to poll voters.

“I cannot in good conscience … acquiesce to such a course of action I believe to be contrary to the laws and the constitution of the State of New Mexico,” she said in the release. The Santa Fe City Council in August narrowly approved reduced penalties for small amounts of marijuana.

The County Commission on Sept. 9 unanimously approved a ballot question asking voters whether they think possession of a small amount of marijuana should be reduced to a civil infraction. Salazar told commissioners there was room on the ballot to add the question.

LOUIS EMIL FROSH: A LEGACY OF ART AND KINDNESS September 16, 1921 - September 15, 2014 With apologies to Dylan Thomas, Louis Emil Frosh did "go gentle into that good night," just hours before his 93rd birthday. With grace and dignity, Lou had greeted near-blindness due to macular degeneration. When cancer came calling, he never lost his composure. He kept up with politics and gym classes, continued cooking until recent months, and listened to DVD movies and audio books. And he always welcomed many friends visiting from near his home in Santa Fe and from across the USA. Born in Toledo, Ohio, to Grace Orndorff Frosh and Louis Frosh Sr., Lou had latched onto art as a child. At age 16, his father died, and Lou helped support his mother with retail jobs while still in high school. At the same time, he began evening studies with artist Theodore J. Keane (1880-1952), who had moved to Toledo after retiring as dean of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. World War II catapulted Lou into the U.S. Army. His Eighth Infantry Division polished its tactics in Northern Ireland and headed to Normandy, where the historic D-Day invasion took place on June 6, 1944. "We landed on the beach on D+29," Lou said, meaning July 5. "And we made our first command post about 15 miles inland, near La Haye du Puits, France." Lou received military honors for his service, about which he never boasted. On a visit back to the British Isles, Lou boarded a train and happened upon an aisle seat that would change his life. Across from him sat a beautiful young blond woman, bracketed by a pair of stern parents. He struck up a conversation, and the group discovered they all were headed to Liverpool for a boat to Belfast-near the family’s home in Bangor, Northern Ireland. That was 1951, and after Lou’s many subsequent visits to Bangor, he and Margaret Elizabeth Murphy (known as Betty) married in Chicago on December 19, 1953. Their marriage spun a storybook tale for 54 years, until Betty’s death from Alzheimer’s in May 2007. During their Chicago periods (1953-1958 and 1963-1988), the Froshes hosted lively dinner parties in their Near North and Lake Shore Drive homes. As one guest recalls, "Their beautiful table would be set for 12 or 14 people, and you might have a poet next to you on one side, a ballerina on the other, with a visiting Peruvian student across from you." From 1959 to 1962, Lou and Betty anchored in her native Northern Ireland to run their own linenexport company, named Abelard. It featured Lou’s original designs on Irish linen place mats and kitchen towels. When their distributor agency was sold, the Froshes resumed life in Chicago. Customs stamps in both of their passports reflected explorations in Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Italy, Spain, and other countries. Each trip inspired Lou to create watercolors, pen-and-ink drawings, and oil paintings. An advertising art director by day, he was a dedicated landscape painter by night-then full time after his 1988 retirement. Like his late wife, Betty, Lou had no sisters or brothers or human children. But he was a steward for many feline companions, including Missy, who will miss him very much as she goes to a new master. And his friends are innumerable. All have been inspired by Lou’s courage, integrity, and kindness. When he died peacefully in his Santa Fe home, where he had lived since 1988, caregiver Dorinda MacAusland was by his side. Over his last several months, she had enabled him to continue enjoying his beloved surroundings. In memoriams are welcomed at Felines & Friends, 369 Montezuma Avenue #320, Santa Fe, NM 87501; www.fandfnm.org; (505) 316-2281. His ashes will be interred at Santa Fe National Cemetery (501 North Guadalupe Street), next to those of his wife, Betty. A service is planned for Thursday, September 18, 2014, at 9:45 a.m., at the cemetery.

Born in 1948 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, to Herbert and Nancy O’Neil, Danny attended Auburn High and graduated from Tufts University with a B.S. in Geology in 1972 after spending several years working in the anti-war movement and the Progressive Labor Party. Dan moved to Santa Fe in the late 70’s where he landed a job at Merrill Lynch. He then moved to New York City and worked on Wall Street as a stockbroker and analyst until returning to Santa Fe in 1991. In recent years, Danny became involved in youth mentoring and coaching Little League baseball. Through this work, he had a tremendous impact on many children and their families. Dan is survived by his wife, Robin Smith, brother Jim (Joan) O’Neil of Holden, MA and sisters Mary (Bruce) Willoughby and Cathleen (Ed Dumas) O’Neil, both of Fitchburg, MA, as well as many nieces, nephews and several stalwart pups. He also leaves behind his "Little Sister," Carrie Roybal and her family. He was a generous friend and mentor to many, a world-class cook, a writer, an athlete, a raconteur, a book lover, an accomplished poker player, a whisky connoisseur, a gardener and a pilot. He wrote under the name John Dublin and boxed under the name Mysterious Dan O’Neil. He touched many lives and will be profoundly missed by all who knew him, old and (especially) young. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern New Mexico or your favorite charity promoting child well-being or social justice. A celebration of Danny’s life will be held in Santa Fe in October.

Texas battles anew over classroom textbooks Academics claim Founding Fathers’ Christian values exaggerated; conservatives decry pro-Islam bias By Will Weissert The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — The longrunning ideological dispute over what gets taught in Texas classrooms flared anew over proposed history textbooks Tuesday, with academics decrying lessons they said exaggerate the importance of Christian values on the nation’s Founding Fathers while conservatives complained of antiAmerican, pro-Islam biases. The Board of Education will approve new history textbooks for the state’s 5-plus million public school students in November. But it heard hours of complaints about 104 proposed books during a sometimes heated public hearing. Jacqueline Jones, chairwoman of the University of Texas’ History Department, said one U.S. history high school book cheerleads for President Ronald Reagan and the significance of America’s free enterprise system while glossing over Gov. George Wallace’s attempt to block school integration in Alabama. She also pointed to a phrase stating that “the minimum wage remains one of the New Deal’s most controversial legacies.” “We do our students a disservice when we scrub history clean of unpleasant truths,” Jones said, “and when we present an inaccurate view

of the past that promotes a simpleminded, ideologically driven point of view.” Objections such as Jones’ were the most common, but some conservatives complained that the books marginalized Reagan and other top Republicans, even as they heaped praise on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “I guess Ronald Reagan did nothing in two terms,” scoffed Republican board member Ken Mercer of San Antonio. Debates over academic curriculum and textbooks have for years thrust Texas’ Board of Education into the national spotlight, sparking battles over issues such as how to teach climate change and natural selection. In 2010, while approving the history curriculum standards that this year’s round of new books are supposed to follow, conservatives on the board required that students evaluate whether the United Nations undermines U.S. sovereignty and study the congressional GOP’s 1994 Contract with America. Kathleen Wellman, a history professor at Southern Methodist University, said many books give Moses — the biblical Hebrew leader who received the Ten Commandments from God — credit for influencing the U.S. Consti-

tution, so much so that Texas students might believe “Moses was the first American.” “Moses shows up everywhere doing everything,” Wellman said. All of Tuesday’s comments are sent to the publishers, who can provide responses in defense of what’s written, or make changes, before final approval of the books. Some community leaders complained that proposed books downplayed Hispanic accomplishments,

Food program aids job seekers over age 50

Police use new ATVs to capture meth suspect

People 50 and older who are looking for work can find out whether they qualify for food benefits, thanks to a partnership between The Food Depot, the AARP Foundation and Santa Fe Community College. The organizations are teaming to help people apply for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as part of the Back To Work 50+ program at the community college. The program connects job candidates age 50 and up with employers, resources to increase their marketability and public assistance benefits. “We know that on average, unemployed older adults are out of work for nearly a year and that the resulting financial impact can be staggering,” said Emily Allen of the AARP Foundation. More information about participating is available from the AARP Foundation, 855850-2525.

A 35-year-old Santa Fe man was arrested by Santa Fe police after officials found a “possible meth lab” near the city’s outlet mall, according to a news release. Police said that on Sept. 9, Daniel Macintosh Stuart was found with more than $17,000 in cash, a stolen gun and 1.5 grams of methamphetamine inside his car, which was possibly used as a meth lab. Police say they found Stuart at about 3 p.m. near Beckner and Cerrillos roads. Online court records show Stuart is facing two counts of possession of a firearm or destructive device by a felon, one count of receiving stolen property, one count of being in possession of a controlled substance, one count of using or being in possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of having an open container. Police credited the capture of Stuart to the department’s newly acquired all-terrain vehicles. Police said they were able to use the ATVs to patrol the open space area where Stuart’s car was found.

Sanchez said Martinez was in California on Saturday for a Republican Governors Association conference at Newport Coast, and she returned to New Mexico the next day. The association is to cover Martinez’s travel expenses. Martinez reported cash on hand of $3.8 million in her re-election account at the start of the month, and Democratic challenger Gary King had a balance of almost $158,000.

Fire burns Calif. lumber town Wind-driven flames force 3,000 to flee By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

WEED, Calif. — Despite warnings about the dangers of wildfires and drought-parched forests, the inferno that swirled through the California lumber town of Weed caught the entire community off guard. In just a few hours, winddriven flames destroyed or damaged 100 homes, the saw mill and a church. At times, the fire moved so fast that residents had only a few minutes to get out of the way. On Tuesday, the “Weed Like To Welcome You” town sign still stood, but nothing else was normal as stunned residents assessed the damage, took stock of what they lost and gave thanks for what was saved. “At the peak, essentially the entire town was evacuated,” state fire spokesman Robert Foxworthy said. Disastrous as it was for the community of 3,000 people, daybreak brought gratitude and relief that there were no

reports of death or even serious injuries. The intense blaze erupted Monday south of Weed. Elsewhere in the state, hundreds of firefighters battled about a dozen other persistent blazes. The cause of the Weed fire is still under investigation. Winds gusting up to 40 mph pushed the flames into town, where they quickly chewed through a hillside neighborhood. “It went through here so fast it was unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Jim Taylor, a retired butcher who has lived in the town for 30 years, said Tuesday. “I’m not a real religious person, but somebody was looking out for me.” Taylor said fire bombers dropped retardant over his house. As his home and his deck furniture turned pink from the retardant, another house nearby erupted into flames. Across the street, pine and oak trees were burned to a crisp, and small flames and smoke drifted up from chunky embers. The town and the forest that surrounds it were a tinderbox this summer after three years

of drought. And Weed’s winds are notorious. The steady breezes were what attracted town founder Abner Weed to build his lumber business there in 1897, after he realized that wood dried more quickly when fanned by nature. The town’s saw mill, once the world’s largest, was among the structures damaged in the blaze. “Once the fire kicked off, you had wind driving it from the south, it got into the crowns of trees and then it was moving extremely quickly from structure to structure, block to block,” state fire spokesman Dennis Mathisen said. On Tuesday, chimneys were the only thing still standing in the rubble, and broken pipes

spurted water over the blackened landscape. The remnants of the Holy Family Catholic Church were still smoldering, its metal girders twisted on the ground. “I mean it was devastating,” said Maureen Campbell, the church’s music minister who was baptized, confirmed and married at the church, along with her children. She lost her home to the fire. “The house up there is no big deal. It can be rebuilt,” she said. “But this is my family church, you know? It’s much more endearing to me.” Tasha Davis, 30, said she was given two minutes to grab what she could from her apartment and evacuate.

Colo. theater shooting victim’s parents sue Lawsuit claims four firms improperly sold ammunition, gear to rampage suspect By Dan Elliott The Associated Press

DENVER — The parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a highcapacity magazine and body armor used in the attack. The lawsuit alleges it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack. It says the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods. “It was highly foreseeable to [the] defendants that their potential customers included persons with criminal intent,

including persons such as James Holmes,” the lawsuit says. The suit was filed by Sandy and Lonnie Phillips of San Antonio, Texas, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was among the dead. “We’re putting them on notice,” Lonnie Phillips said at a news conference in Denver. “We’re coming after you.” The lawsuit renews the gun control debate in the courts at a time when advocates of tighter restrictions have been relatively quiet in state and national politics, wary of motivating gun-rights voters to turn out in greater numbers. After Colorado passed gun control laws in 2013, voters ousted two lawmakers who supported the measures. A third resigned to avoid a possible recall. Ghawi, 24, was an aspiring sports journalist who had moved from Texas a year earlier. Less than two months before her death, she had survived a shooting at a Toronto

mall that left two people dead and several wounded. Her parents are represented by attorneys for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and two Denver lawyers. Named as defendants in the case are Lucky Gunner of Knoxville, Tenn., Bullet Proof Body Armor of Tempe, Ariz., BTP Arms of New Oxford, Pa., and the Sportsman’s Guide of South St. Paul, Minn. The lawsuit says Holmes bought at least 4,300 rounds of ammunition from Lucky Gunner’s website, bulkammo.com, and 700 rounds of ammunition and a 100-round magazine from the Sportsman’s Guide website. It says Holmes bought two tear gas grenades from BTP Arms and four pieces of body armor from bulletproofbodyarmorhq.com. The 100-round magazine was one factor that prompted Colorado in 2013 to ban the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Investigators have said Holmes’ 100-round

magazine jammed during the attack, preventing even more bloodshed. Prosecutors said Holmes also bought two handguns, a shotgun, a semi-automatic rifle and other equipment from other retailers that are not named as defendants. Dave Kopel, research director for the Independence Institute, a conservative-leaning Colorado think tank, said the suit will have a difficult time overcoming a federal law that protects the legal manufacture and sale of weapons and ammunition. Previous lawsuits have attempted but failed to overturn the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, said Kopel, an attorney who represents 53 Colorado sheriffs trying to overturn Colorado’s 2013 gun laws. They are appealing a federal judge’s ruling against them. Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Defense attorneys for Rick Reese, his wife, Terri Reese, and their son Ryin Reese have petitioned the nation’s highest court to examine the case after a federal appeals court denied them a new trial, the Las Cruces Suns-New reported. In August 2012, a jury convicted the three of making false statements on federal firearmssales forms. They were acquitted of most of the charges that they sold weapons to Mexican drug cartels. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Brack granted a defense request for a new trial in 2013 because prosecutors failed to disclose that a prosecution witness was under criminal investigation. Defense attorneys argued the information would have allowed them to challenge his credibility. The Associated Press

called for Congress to increase the federal $7.25 minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Voter support for raising New Mexico’s minimum wage came as Albuquerque and Santa Fe approved local measures raising workers’ minimum pay to $8.50 and $10.66, respectively. Las Cruces joined that effort last week with a vote to raise the figure to $10.10, although the plan needs to be reconciled with an earlier ordinance establishing an $8.50 hourly wage.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California will no longer be the last Western state with a pump-as-you-please approach to groundwater. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation on Tuesday overhauling the state’s management of its groundwater supply, bringing it in line with other states that have long regulated their wells. Groundwater makes up nearly 60 percent of California’s water use during dry years. But it is not monitored and managed the same way as water from reservoirs and rivers. Supporters of the legislation say the worst drought in a generation inspired them to rethink the state’s hands-off approach to tapping wells, which has led to sinking land and billions of dollars in damage to aquifers, roads and canals. “This is a big deal,” Brown said at the signing ceremony in his office. “It has been known about for decades that underground water has to be managed and regulated in some way.” The package signed into law requires some local governments and water districts to begin managing their wells, and it authorizes state water agencies to intervene if necessary. It also allows for water metering and fines to monitor and enforce restrictions. SB 1168, SB 1319 and AB 1739 by Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, D-Sacra-

mento, and Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, passed in the final days of the legislative session over objections from Republican lawmakers and Central Valley Democrats. The opposition was driven by agricultural interests that are increasingly dependent on pumping from wells as reservoirs dry up and government water allocations plunge in the drought. They say the legislation was rushed and punishes well-managed agencies while infringing on property rights. “While there is legitimate concern about the overdrafting of some groundwater basins, this massive expansion of state authority will not solve the problem,” said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare. Brown said in a signing message he would push for legislation next year to streamline resolutions in disputes over groundwater rights. Unlike other states that treat groundwater as a shared resource, California property owners have been entitled to tap water beneath their land since the Gold Rush days. Lawmakers supporting the groundwater overhaul say the existing system pits farmers against each other in a costly race to dig the deepest wells, resulting in depleted aquifers. Brown cautioned that years of disagreements and arguments are ahead in regulating groundwater. The new laws, which take effect in January, target areas where groundwater basins are being depleted faster than they are being replenished to be sustainable by 2040. It gives local land planners two years to create a groundwater sustainability agency.

Criticism mounting for Vikings, Peterson By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Adrian Peterson has been one of the most popular and marketable stars in the NFL, an approachable superstar with an inspirational comeback story that made him an endorser’s dream. Now that he is facing a felony charge of child abuse for spanking his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch, the Minnesota running back is in the middle of a firestorm, and several sponsors are starting to distance themselves while the controversy envelops a league in crisis. In the wake of the Vikings’ decision to allow Peterson to play while the legal process plays out in Texas, the Radisson hotel chain has suspended its relationship with the Vikings. Special Olympics Minnesota, Castrol Motor Oil and Mylan Inc. severed ties with Peterson and Nike stores in the Twin Cities have stopped selling merchandise with his name on it. And Peterson’s All Day Foundation, which has been devoted to helping children, put up and took down a series of statements on its website before shutting it down, including one that said it “will re-engage after Adrian, his family, and staff have reflected on how the current situation impacts the direction for Adrian’s philanthropy.” “It is an awful situation,” said Gov.

field and accept the forfeit, but Taos head coach Michael Hensley had a different idea. He wanted the Dragons to take an uncontested shot, which would essentially guarantee a win for them. Galindo was hesitant at first, but he decided to comply. Foreign exchange student Mamadu Singare took the final shot, and the Dragons left with a bittersweet 2-1 win. Afterward, coaches, players and parents from both teams went to the hospital to check on Dascher. The Taos girls soccer team even brought him flowers, a teddy bear and a getwell card. When he was released two hours later, he found a concerned Hensley and a few other Taos players waiting for him.

“They grouped up as a community,” Dascher said. “It was incredible.” Neither I nor fellow sports writer Will Webber could get a hold of Hensley for comment on the situation, but I would like to commend him and his team for showing great sportsmanship. The Tigers now have an extra loss on their record, but they picked up a huge win in a time when sports headlines around the country reflect corruption, domestic violence and child abuse. “It wasn’t the prettiest situation, but I think the best of everyone really came out,” Galindo said. “It was not the kind of situation where you worry about what the result was. Really, we all won at the end.” This shows that even the scariest of moments can turn into something incredible, and acts like these remind us that you don’t have to win the match to come out victorious.

Grand jury to weigh case of Tony Stewart By Carolyn Thompson The Associated Press

A grand jury will decide whether NASCAR driver Tony Stewart will be charged in the August death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said he made the decision to present the case to a grand jury after reviewing evidence collected by county sheriff’s Tony Stewart investigators. Tantillo could have determined there was not enough evidence to support charges and dropped the case, but instead announced his decision more than a month after Stewart’s car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. at a dirt-track race on Aug. 9. In a statement, Stewart said he respects the time and effort authorities have spent “investigating this tragic accident.” “I look forward to this process being completed, and I will continue to provide my full cooperation,” he said. Stewart spent three weeks in seclusion before returning for the final two races of the Sprint Cup season.

NFL American Conference

1984 — Reggie Jackson became the 13th player in major league history to reach 500 home runs. No. 500 came off Kansas City pitcher Bud Black. His homer came exactly 17 years after he got his first career hit. 1984 — Rookie Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets struck out 16 Phillies in a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia. Five days earlier, Gooden fanned 16 Pittsburgh Pirates tying a major league record for 32 strikeouts in two consecutive games. 1988 — Jeff Reardon became the first pitcher to save 40 games in both leagues when the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1. Reardon, who saved 42 games for the Montreal Expos in 1985, pitched the ninth inning for his 40th save in 47 opportunities. 1996 — Hideo Nomo pitched a nohitter against the Colorado Rockies, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-0 victory. Nomo walked four and stuck out eight. 1998 — Denny Neagle pitched Atlanta to a 1-0 victory over Arizona to improve to 15-11, making the Braves the first major league team with five 15-game winners since the 1930 Washington Senators. Neagle joined Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Kevin Millwood. 2004 — Barry Bonds hit the 700th home run of his career, joining Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755) as the only players to reach the milestone. Bonds connected in the third inning at home, a 392-foot solo shot to left-center. San Francisco beat San Diego 4-1. 2004 — Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki broke Lloyd Waner’s single-season record for singles with his 199th in a 6-3 win over Oakland. Suzuki’s two hits gave him 235 for the season, 22 shy of the major league record set by George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns in 1920. 2007 — Frank Thomas hit three home runs to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 6-1. Thomas homered twice off knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, then hit his third against reliever Kyle Snyder. 2008 — Alex Rodriguez became the first player to hit 35 homers and drive in 100 runs in 12 seasons, surpassing Babe Ruth’s record by one. Rodriguez homered in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 5-1 victory over Chicago. 2008 — Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki matched Willie Keeler’s major league record of eight straight 200-hit seasons, beating out an infield single in the eighth inning for his third hit against Kansas City. 2008 — Tampa Bay (90-60) became the sixth team in major league history to win 90 games immediately following a stretch of at least 10 consecutive losing seasons. The others were the 1912 Washington Senators, 1914 Boston Braves, 1956 Cincinnati Reds, 1979 Montreal Expos and 2006 Detroit Tigers. 2011 — Mariano Rivera tied the major league saves record, earning the 601st of his career and matching Trevor Hoffman while preserving the New York Yankees’ 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The 41-year-old Rivera was perfect in pitching the ninth inning for his 42nd save of the season. 2011 — Houston lost 100 games in a season for the first time in franchise history, falling to the Chicago Cubs 2-1. The Astros, who began play in 1962 as the Colt .45s, dropped to 51100. Colorado and the Angels are the only remaining franchises that have never lost 100 games in a season. 2011 — Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers scored his 100th run in the third inning and stole his 40th base in the sixth of a 6-1 win over Pittsburgh. Kemp became the first player in Dodgers franchise history with at least 40 steals, 100 runs scored, 100 RBIs and 30 home runs. 2013 — Danny Valencia tripled to stop closer Koji Uehara’s streak of 37 consecutive outs and pinch-runner Alexi Casilla scored on Matt Wieters’ sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to lift Baltimore to a 3-2 win over Boston. Uehara fell four outs short of Bobby Jenks’ major league record for a reliever of 41 consecutive retired batters set in 2007.

Senator ties NFL tax status to Redskins name By Joseph White The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A U.S. senator threatened the NFL with legislation over Washington’s nickname, a letter was dispatched to the other 31 team owners, and the issue was linked to the league’s others recent troubles Tuesday as the anti-“Redskins” movement took its cause to Capitol Hill. In a news conference that featured Native American, civil rights and religious leaders, Sen. Maria Cantwell took aim at the NFL’s pocketbook by announcing she will introduce a bill to strip the league’s tax-exempt status because it has not taken action over

the Redskins name. While prospects for such a bill becoming law would be tenuous, the inevitable hearings before lawmakers would enhance the spotlight on a movement that has gained substantial momentum over the last two years. “The NFL needs to join the rest of America in the 21st century,” said Cantwell, D-Wash., the former chairwoman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “We can no longer tolerate this attitude toward Native Americans. This is not about team tradition. This is about right and wrong.” Overall, the message from the “Change the Mascot” leaders was that they don’t plan to go away, despite

Redskins owner Dan Snyder’s vow not to change the name. They presented a letter that will be sent to every NFL owner except Snyder, asking each to use his “position of authority” to end the league’s “promotion of a dictionary-defined racial slur.” Oneida Nation representative Ray Halbritter said he hoped an owner will take a bold position against the name. He cited Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey, who integrated major league baseball by signing Jackie Robinson, and longtime Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin, who changed his NBA’s team from Bullets because of the violence associated with the term. “We’re looking for the Branch

Rickey, looking for Abe Pollin,” Halbritter said. “They’re out there. We know the owners don’t share in this, but they share in the profits.” Halbritter had harsh words for the league as a whole, referencing the NFL’s handling of health problems suffered by former players, as well as the recent Ray Rice domestic violence saga and the child abuse charge levied against Adrian Peterson. “The NFL is currently facing an integrity crisis. … While these are different issues, they are joined by a common thread of showing commercial and moral arrogance and a blatant lack of respect for those being negatively impacted,” Halbritter said.

The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier Tuesday, the league announced that it hired a former White House official to help the league with legislative issues. Cynthia Hogan will be the league’s senior vice president of public policy and government affairs and will be based in Washington. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie responded to Cantwell’s proposed legislation by citing a poll in the team’s favor. “Our position remains consistent with more than 80 percent of Americans who do not want to change the Washington Redskins name,” Wyllie said.

PREP ROUNDUP

Lady Sundevils beat Albuquerque Academy The New Mexican

There’s never been any doubt about the play of Elana Salazar and Kaitlyn Romero. But it was there for the middle hitters of the Española ValEspañola 3 ley volleyball team at the beginning of the Abq. Acad. 1 season. Those fears are slowly washing away with every kill and block from Brittany Gallegos and Brenda Garduño. The duo did more than hold their own against the bigger hitters of Albuquerque Academy on Tuesday night, and they helped the Lady Sundevils to a 25-21, 25-21, 24-26, 25-12 nondistrict win in Edward Medina Gymnasium. Gallegos had eight kills and five blocks, while Garduño contributed four blocks in the middle. Their ability to provide a block at the net as well as have the confidence to swing away are key to Española’s success this season. That wasn’t the case at the beginning of the season. “The first couple days of practice, they were never ready to hit a ball,” said Damon Salazar, Lady Sundevils head coach. “They never expected to get sets. They weren’t up, they weren’t ready. But I had my setters work with my middles so they can build that trust, and you can see that. Now, I have to tell them, ‘Go to Elana. Go to Katie.’ But that’s all right, it’s my job.” Salazar and Romero got their swings, too. They both recorded 15 kills, while Salazar added 23 digs and an ace. The Lady Sundevils improved to 4-2 on the season. WEST LAS VEGAS 3, SANTA FE PREPARATORY 2 With the injury struggles the Blue Griffins have suffered through so far this season, Game 4 felt like a victory in itself. Prep outlasted the Lady Dons 32-30 to force a fifth game, but ran out of gas after that. West Las Vegas prevailed 16-25, 26-24, 25-22, 30-32, 15-8 in a nondistrict battle in Prep Gymnasium. Still, Prep head coach Kiran Bhakta compared the fourth

game to a district tournament-type of atmosphere “It was just that intense,” Bhakta said. “At some point my girls found enough energy to pull it out. They were given the opportunity to fold at any time, but they fought pretty well.” Desiray Anderson, who is still playing through a back injury, had 18 kills, 10 assists and 21 digs to lead the Blue Griffins (2-4). Joy Maran added nine kills and an ace, while Courtney Timlin had two kills, 16 assists and 13 digs. DESERT ACADEMY 3, MCCURDY 0 The Lady Wildcats are coming together on the court, and it showed in a 25-16, 25-22, 25-23 sweep in Memorial Gymnasium. While Desert Academy (2-2) got the usual performances from Tori Heath (13 kills, 23 digs), Abby Tiarks (seven assists, six kills) and Cassidy Hart (14 assists, 13 service points), it received help from sophomore Rachel Stumbo and eighthgrader Mikalya Bohlman. The two middle hitters provided a solid wall to slow down Lady Bobcats senior Maria Elena Rendon. “It’s taking them some games to get used to their jobs,” said Natalie Passalacqua, Lady Wildcats head coach. “They are at a point where they are becoming more aggressive and knowing who is going to get the ball. They came through today and played much better.” VAUGHN 3, NEW MEXICO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 0 It took a couple of weeks, but the Lady Roadrunners finally had enough players to play their season opener, which went to the Lady Eagles, 25-21, 25-13, 25-15, in Larsen Gymnasium. NMSD had been struggling with a small roster, and a couple of injuries impacted its ability to start the season earlier. “We have three returning players and three new, inexperienced players who have never touched a volleyball before August 15,” NMSD head coach Amanda Lujan said. Returnee Amberley Luna had six aces, six kills and two assists, while sophomore Janelle Miller added five kills, a block and two assists for the Lady Roadrunners.

GIRLS SOCCER SANTA FE PREP 3, BERNALILLO 1 The Blue Griffins got goals from Emma Ehlers, Isabelle Pagano and Gabriella Romero in a nondistrict win over the Lady Spartans at Sun Mountain Field. It is Prep’s first win of the year, extending its record to 1-5-1. SANTA FE HIGH 2, TAOS 1 Olivia Lettenberger scored the go-ahead goal with an assist from Sasha Burlingame with just under three minutes left in a nondistrict match to give the visiting Lady Tigers their first loss of the season. “I think she put herself in the right position and was willing to take the shot,” Santa Fe High head coach Keith Richards said. “I was so happy when she got that goal.” Elena Lemus scored the first goal for Santa Fe High (6-1) with another assist from Burlingame in the 23rd minute. That was answered with a Taos (7-1) goal three minutes into the second half. Santa Fe High freshman goalkeeper Imani Randle had 12 saves. BOYS SOCCER SANTA FE PREPARATORY 5, BERNALILLO 1 The Blue Griffins keep things rolling with their fourth consecutive win, but the Spartans didn’t make it easy for them in a nondistrict match in Bernalillo. Prep (7-2) took 22 shots against the Spartans, and only a handful of them were able to fall. “Their keepers were just great, but we finally got some goals,” Prep head coach Hersch Wilson said. “It’s about being patient and not panicking.” Freshman Logan Sullivan had two goals while Adam Weyrauch, Patrick Boyd and Griffin Sides each had one. The Blue Griffins have a match against Portales on Saturday before opening the District 2A-AAAA season against Desert Academy on Sept. 25.

Pass: UNM, UCSD have shown interest Continued from Page B-5 pretty much my life. I surround myself with people that have the same love of soccer as I do. It’s helped me grow as a player and a person.” As for what he thought of other coaches thinking he is the best ’keeper in town, he brushed away the idea of being the best while still acknowledging that he was good. “I know that several of the coaches are fond of me, but I think there are other goalies in the district that are good as well,” he said. “I know I’m talented, I guess I’ll put it that way.” Wilson has known Grossman for a few years, but it was last year when Prep beat the Wildcats in a shootout toward the end of the season that he really made his impression on him. “In order to beat Desert, we have to beat Jasper,” Wilson said. “He’s a force to be reckoned with. He was just everywhere.” Knowledge of Grossman is starting to spread, and it helps give the Wildcats a competitive advantage before they even step on the field. Desert Academy got to a 4-0 start before losing to Portales 3-0 on Sept. 12. “People know him and think twice,” Lochner said. “He’s definitely in their heads when they’re coming up to the goal. That makes a huge difference. He can psyche another team

out by just having his presence in that goal.” But he hasn’t just caught the attention of coaches around Santa Fe. Both The University of New Mexico and the University of California-San Diego have shown interest, and Grossman is hoping to suit up for the Tritons next year. Grossman said UCSD head coach Jon Pascale told him that he wanted him to play for the team, but it’s not a done deal yet. Grossman still has to apply for the school and visit the campus, but as of now, he is fairly sure that is where he is going to continue his soccer career. “I’ve been keeping in touch with them, and we’re still just trying to figure stuff out,” Grossman said. “So far it’s moving along pretty well.” It’s at UCSD that Grossman will work on his other dream

of studying communication to become a sports broadcaster, and he already unofficially has experience in the field. “He likes to announce soccer matches in a British accent,” Lochner said, referring to a time when Grossman jokingly announced a Desert Academy girls soccer match. All jokes aside, Grossman is a serious competitor. He has been a captain for the Wildcats since he was a sophomore, and he continues to be the best defensive presence for a team that has been the ugly stepchild in the district for many years and has yet to beat St. Michael’s. He also plays for the club team Andromeda FC, which is essentially a Santa Fe allstar team. The players include Noah Gibson and Ian Stumbo from Desert Academy, Skye and Shalto Dascher from

Monte del Sol, Wyeth Carpenter, Keenan Amer and Ben Perillo from Prep and Michael Brouillette and Brendan Cullen from St. Michael’s. All of them are seniors and captains on their respective teams. Although Grossman has the résumé to be a successful goalkeeper, it’s his mentality that makes hims a force in the net. “He has the right mental makeup for it,” Lochner said. “As a goalkeeper, you have to have to right mental makeup, or it’s not the right position for you. He gets upset when he lets something in that he shouldn’t, but he picks himself back up and tries to not let it happen again.” Grossman said it is extremely hard to watch a goal get past him, but that’s when the strong mentality comes into play. “I think the mentality is probably one of the hardest parts of goalkeeping,” Grossman said. “You have to be extremely strong mentally. It’s hard getting a single goal scored on you, even if you’re winning. You have to be able to put it behind you right away and just focus.” Grossman is still working on that mentality to help Wildcats beat St. Michael’s for the first time when the two teams meet at the Christian Brother Athletic Complex on Thursday, so it’s a good thing all he thinks about is soccer.

Demonettes beat Taos, extend streak to 5 games By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

After the Santa Fe High girls soccer team was beat 10-0 in brutal fashion by St. Michael’s at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex on Aug. 29, the Demonettes have been on a tear, with a five-match win streak after beating Taos 2-1 on Tuesday night. The Demonettes have outscored opponents 33-6 since losing to the Lady Horsemen, and senior forward Elena Lemus scored nine goals in two days last week. “I think we learned a lot from that match,” Santa Fe High head coach Keith Richards said. “I think that was a wake-up call. The girls have been very coachable and have been making halftime adjustments.” The Demonettes will be challenged when they go to AAAAAA Albuqueruque Highland on Thursday. uuu

The Los Alamos girls soccer team is

4-5 after losing to Albuquerque Academy on Tuesday night, but fans on “the Hill” need not worry about a postseason berth. The Lady Hilltoppers finished last season 10-11, but they were still a perfect 6-0 in District 2AAAA (now 2AAAAA) before losing to Piedra Vista 2-1 in the first round of the Class AAAA State Tournament. Their other losses this season are to Farmington and Albuquerque’s Bosque School, St. Pius X and Hope Christian. Both Hope Christian and St. Pius X are defending state champions in A-AAAA and AAAAA, respectively. The Lady Hilltoppers have a match against AAAAAA Rio Rancho on Thursday before starting district play against Capital on Sept. 23. Junior Catie McDonald has 12 goals to lead the district. uuu

Santa Fe Preparatory freshman Logan Sullivan leads all classifications with 16 goals after he added two more in a 5-1 win over Bernalillo on Tuesday.

“He is a striker, and they are a rare animal,” Prep head coach Hersch Wilson said. “He just has a nose for scoring.” He has accomplished this despite the fact that eight other Blue Griffins have scored this season. Griffin Sides and Adam Weyrauch each have eight goals while Patrick Boyd has five — and all three scored against Bernalillo. uuu

The Santa Fe High boys soccer team is off to a rough 2-6 start, and things aren’t going to get much easier for the Demons. District 1AAAAAA rival Albuquerque Cibola is the No. 1 team in the class according to the NMSoccer.com boys soccer rankings with an 8-0-1 record, and Albuquerque Volcano Vista is ranked fifth. Cibola senior Sergio Rivas currently leads AAAAAA with nine goals and four assists. The Demons open the district season against Rio Rancho on Sept. 24 and host Cibola on Oct. 8.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Orioles lock up AL East with win over Blue Jays The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles won their first AL East crown since 1997, using home runs Orioles 8 by Steve Pearce and Blue Jays 2 Jimmy Paredes to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2 Tuesday night before a boisterous crowd of 35,297 at Camden Yards. With their ninth win in 10 games, the Orioles clinched their second playoff appearance in three years following a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons. Afterward, the Orioles converged behind second base, fireworks soared in the outfield and streamers sprayed throughout the crowd. INDIANS 4, ASTROS 2 In Houston, Corey Kluber struck out a career-high 14 in seven innings, and Cleveland halted their four-game losing streak with a win over the Astros. Kluber (16-9) allowed one run and seven hits to earn his third straight win. His previous high for strikeouts was 13 against the Chicago White Sox on May 4. RAYS 6, YANKEES 1 In St. Petersburg, Fla., Derek Jeter was hit on the arm by a Steve Geltz pitch in the eighth inning of a loss to Tampa Bay, the fifth time a New York batter has been hit by a Rays pitcher in the past week. Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out of the dugout and was

Both dugouts and bullpens emptied, but little occured except for a couple players being restrained by teammates or coaches. Yankees coach Tony Pena also was ejected during the game. TWINS 4, TIGERS 3 In Minneapolis, Aaron Hicks hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning, and the Twins rallied for a win over AL Centralleading Detroit. After J.D. Martinez hit a threerun home run to give Detroit a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth, Trevor Plouffe drew a one-out walk against Joe Nathan (4-4)

and was replaced by pinch-runner Doug Bernier. Bernier scored when center fielder Ezequiel Carrera dived for a line drive off the bat of Kurt Suzuki and missed it, allowing the ball to roll to the wall. INTERLEAGUE PIRATES 4, RED SOX 0 In Pittsburgh, Charlie Morton came off the disabled list to gain his first victory since July 2, and the Pirates defeated Boston for their ninth win in 11 games. Sidelined since Aug. 16 because of right hip inflammation and a sports hernia, Morton (6-12) allowed four hits in five innings, struck out six and walked two. He had been 0-3 with a 5.09 ERA in his eight previous starts.

Seeing Peterson, a player who has worked tirelessly in the community and been the face of the franchise practically since he arrived in Minnesota in 2007, put in the public crosshairs was just as jarring to some of his teammates. “The Adrian I know does a lot of stuff for charity.

of series, from sprint cars to the elite Sprint Cup Series. He has for years taken part in little races in nondescript towns because he loves the thrill of the high horsepower, lightweight cars skidding around the dirt. He rarely made his schedule public, popping up when he pleased, and he was welcome at the clay track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park the night before the NASCAR race in nearby Watkins Glen. Instead, tragedy struck. NASCAR spokesman Brett Jewkes said the series was closely following the case. “We are aware of the completed investigation and the announced next steps,” he said. “We will monitor this process and stay in close contact with Stewart-Haas Racing. It would be inappropriate for NASCAR to comment on this case so we will continue to respect the process and authorities involved.”

Wood ducks range predominantly in the central to eastern United States. In the 1900’s they were in danger of extinction, but have made a significant comeback. They are equipped with strong claws and can perch on branches.

Pumpkin pie makes its way into sticky buns By Alison Ladman The Associated Press

A pumpkin pie. Rolled up in a cinnamon bun. Do we have your attention yet? That’s right. We took our autumn baking to a delicious new level by combining two classics, then topping them with an intensely good homemade caramel sauce spiked with flaked sea salt for added oomph and to contrast to all that sweetness. When slicing the log of dough into individual buns, a serrated knife works well. You also can use unflavored, unwaxed dental floss (or heavy thread). To do this, hold a length of floss (about 15 inches or so) by both ends. Slide the floss under the log and move it down to where you would make the first cut. Now lift both ends up over the dough log and pull in opposite directions across the log to slice through. Repeat with the remaining rolls.

SALTED CARAMEL PUMPKIN BUNS Total time: 1½ hours (30 minutes active), makes 12 servings For the dough: 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1½ cups milk, warmed slightly 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon instant yeast ½ teaspoon ground cardamom For the filling: 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature ⅓ cup canned pumpkin 1 egg white ½ teaspoon ground dry ginger ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon cinnamon For the glaze: 3 tablespoons butter 1¼ cups packed dark brown sugar ½ cup light cream 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste ½ teaspoon flake sea salt Preparation: To prepare the dough, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all ingredients and mix on low until the dough is soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Alternatively, the dough can be mixed by hand. If so, in a large bowl combine all ingredients but start with 2 cups of the flour, then slowly work in the remaining 2 cups as the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead several times. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes. Once the dough has rested, use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. If the dough shrinks back, allow it to rest a little longer before continuing. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Alternatively, line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment and coat with cooking spray. To prepare the filling, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, egg white, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the rolled out dough going all the way to the edge except on one long side (leave 1 inch of that long side bare). Starting with that side, roll up the dough into a log like a jelly roll, pinching the sides to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rounds. Arrange the rounds in the prepared pan. If using the 9-by-13-inch pan, the buns will touch. If using a baking sheet, the buns can be spread out (and will cook slightly faster). Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until slightly puffy, about 20 minutes. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the buns reach an internal temperature of 190 degrees. While the buns bake, make the glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, cream and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla bean paste and salt. When the buns are cooked, immediately drizzle all over with the caramel. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

For the savory menu, Menke serves Brittanystyle buckwheat crepes, traditionally made with egg, butter, cider and buckwheat flour. The crepes are then folded over the fillings like a rustic galette. “Of course, everything we do is inspired by the honeybee, including the galette, which is six-sided like a hexagon, the way a bee would do it,” Menke says. In addition to beer and wine, Beestro also offers a bevy of ciders, the traditional accompaniment to crepes in Brittany. “These are drier ciders, more like prosecco — they’re not super sweet,” Menke says. “We do have some semisweet ciders as well that pair well with dessert crepes.” Beestro also serve boutique ciders by Bordelet, a French cider maker who, according to Menke, has “taken the cider and elevated it to the level of fine wine.” And all this without a real kitchen on prem-

Its plethora of gourmet sandwiches and salads are made from fresh, local ingredients. And just above the sandwich nook, at the top of the staircase, is a hidden dining room where, as of last weekend, Beestro chef Greg Menke serves dinner. Upstairs, at night, the Beestro morphs into a French creperie, serving both savory and dessert crepes with a variety of fillings culled from Santa Fe’s local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. The humble crepe is, as it turns out, the perfect canvas for any type of food. The menu ranges from the the Black Forest ham- and Gruyère-filled Galette Français, to a smoked salmon crepe with capers and red onion, to a

robust chicken and porcini crepe with Mornay sauce. Dessert crepes include the “Cajeta” made with New Mexico goat milk caramel and toasted piñon; a Nutella and banana crepe; and even a crepe filled with homemade lemon curd and cheesecake. Choices also include hearty salads topped with fresh chicken brochettes or roasted lamb kofta (Greek meatballs), toasted panini and French onion soup, finished under the broiler with toast and Gruyère and provolone.

Learning to love dried beans By Sara Moulton The Associated Press

I

Soaking the beans overnight in a salted water actually ensures a tender skin, a more evenly cooked bean and a shorter cooking time. MATTHEW MEAD/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Section editor: Carlos A. López, 986-3099, clopez@sfnewmexican.com

didn’t appreciate the numerous lovable qualities of dried beans until my college years, when I was living on my own in a house with several other women, all of us strapped for cash. As soon as we discovered that beans are a tasty, economical and nutrient-rich alternative to animal-based protein, they began turning up at the center of our plates with real regularity. Of course, it’s a lot more convenient to buy canned beans. Trouble is, they tend to be slightly overcooked, which makes them mushy. They also cost significantly more than dried beans. A 16-ounce bag of dried beans yields nearly 6 cups of cooked beans. Whereas a 15-ounce can of beans yields roughly 1½ cups. Cup for cup, canned beans are almost twice as expensive as dried.

But we all know these things. So why don’t more people cook beans from scratch? Many people worry that cooking dried beans just takes too darned long. And in fact, it does indeed take time to cook them properly. The good news is that little of that is hands-on time. And if you make it a weekend project, you can cook up a large batch of dried beans and freeze them in 1- or 2-cup portions. I like to cook a pound of beans at a time. Here’s how I do it: I start by sorting through the beans to pick out any random little stones or debris. Then I soak them overnight in salted water. To do this, dissolve 3 tablespoons of salt in 4 quarts of water, then add the beans. You may have heard the myth that salting beans prevents them from

T

wo and a half hours and still no sign of llamas. We should have been winding our way through lush forests and mountain lakes instead of the neverending banana plantations we continued to see outside our rented four-wheel drive. It was time to turn our dying iPhone’s navigation system back on and confirm the inevitable. Somewhere between sprawling Guayaquil and the quaint cobblestone streets of Cuenca my husband and I had made a wrong turn. And now, on the second leg of our Ecuadorean road trip, with my mother consoling our hungry 4-year-old in the back seat, we had a decision to make: Do we turn back and take the well-trodden route through Cajas National Park we had originally planned to drive, or push onward, not knowing what the road conditions might be ahead, how long our journey would take or if our daughter would nap along the way? We kept going. And though the journey took six hours instead of three, the landscape was stunning, the roads were paved and our daughter slept. Northeast toward Cuenca from Machala in El Oro province, banana fields gave way to winding mountain passes lined with cacao beans set out to dry on the pavement. At one point, we crested an Andean summit and found ourselves in a lunar landscape before descending into a series of valleys, above which rose terraced hillsides dotted with cows and horses. “I have never been to this part of the country,” declared my mother, who was born and raised in Ecuador, as she marveled at the scenery. “I never would have seen this if we hadn’t gone the wrong way.” Indeed, the largely deserted and circuitous route ended up being exactly what we were after. Having visited my mother’s homeland over the years, beginning with family vacations when I was 1 year old, I had crossed some of the more typical tourist to-dos off my list:

A surfer rides Pacific waves last month off the coast of Montañita in Ecuador.

Straddle the yellow line that not so precisely represents the equator at middle of the world; bargain for handicrafts at the Indian market in the town of Otavalo; taste roasted guinea pig. But beyond my family ties, what keeps drawing me back to this small South American country is its geographical and cultural diversity. Roughly the size of Colorado and bordered by Colombia to the north and Peru to the south and east, Ecuador has snow-capped Andes Mountains, Amazon rain forests, sun-soaked Pacific beaches and, more than 500 miles offshore, the Galápagos Islands. But what many foreign travelers miss are the attractions in between: mountain lakes, cloud forests, volcano-heated hot springs and colonial cities. On our nine-day trip in July we focused on three of these offerings — beaches, mountains and colonial charm. The plan was to head north along the Pacific Coast, then head east into the Andean highlands for high-altitude trails before spending time with family in the beautiful colonial city of Cuenca, where my mother was born. (We ended up doing it all, but not in that order, given our detour.) We started out on a Saturday heading westward from Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, and then north along the coastal highway promoted variously as La Ruta del Sol (Route of the Sun) or Spondylus Route, named for

a spiny shell that was once used as currency by indigenous groups. The route is Ecuador’s equivalent of California’s Pacific Coast Highway, except with speed bumps, stray dogs, donkeys and far fewer cars, extending almost the entire coastline from the Peruvian border to Esmeraldas in the north. Along the way it passes through fishing villages, resorts, tropical dry forest and deserted golden beaches. We (meaning my husband) drove about three and a half hours toward Montañita, a backpacker and surfer enclave. Fishing boats teeming with resting pelicans, bamboo shacks on stilts, shrimp farms, trucks laden with pineapples, and families sharing motorcycles were common sights. About halfway between Guayaquil and Montañita, we passed San Pablo Beach, a fishing village with roadside eating spots whose proprietors, eager for business, flailed at every car that passed by. We drove on, anxious to see the beachfront rental we had booked online. Rentals in Ecuador can be hit or miss. Even some of the more luxurious places have lumpy mattresses, spotty Internet service, cold showers and nonpotable water. That’s beginning to change in cities like Quito and Cuenca, which have become retirement magnets for U.S. expats. Renovated one-bedroom apartments with Wi-Fi, washer/dryer and DirecTV can be found for as little as $350 a week. (The U.S. dollar is the currency of Ecuador.) If you’re willing to pay more, you can get housekeeping, airport transfers, prestocked refrigerators and even cooks. We splurged on a $350-a-night three-bedroom beachfront home that advertised all of the above on the rental website Homeaway. com and were not disappointed. Sliding-glass pocket doors the length of the kitchen and living room opened to a veranda overlooking a hot tub, pool and the deserted beach beyond. Every bedroom had a flat-screen television set, crisp linens and a spalike bathroom. The refrigerator was stocked with the eggs, bread, peanut butter and other items we had requested.

CHICAGO — In a city famous for its deep-dish pizza, tourists wouldn’t know that the locals more often eat a thinner-crust, tavern-style pie topped with homemade Italian sausage and cut into squares, not slices — unless they went on a pizza tour. Chicago is one of a handful of cities across the country, like Boston, Milwaukee and New York, with companies that offer tours of the local pizza scene. Chicago Pizza Tours owner Jonathan Porter takes his customers on a bus ride around the city that includes four stops over 3½ hours to sample deep-dish, the tavern-style popular in Chicago neighborhoods and other eclectic pizza variations. “It’s just a different way to see the city,” Porter said. “Eat your way through the city. It was always designed to get people off the beaten path.” Bonnie Burchett, 64, of Winston-Salem, N.C., was on a recent weekend vacation to Chicago with her husband when they took the pizza tour. “I like that sausage,” she said after taking a bite at Pizano’s, a downtown pizzeria with a buttery crusted deep-dish pizza and tavern-style that was the first stop on the tour. Elizabeth Goodwin, 33, of Columbus, Ohio, was on a weekend trip with her husband, too. They were able to try Pizano’s, thin crust at Coalfire west of downtown, tavern-style with sauerkraut at Flo and Santos on the city’s South Side, and Pequod’s deep-dish on the North Side. “I’ve always wanted to try Chicago deep-dish pizza, it’s famous,” Goodwin said. The couple took the tour, she said, because “otherwise we wouldn’t know where to go.” The tour guide offers fun statistics as the bus travels from pizzeria to pizzeria. There are 2,200 pizza restaurants in Chicago. Thin crust outsells deep-dish in Chicago even though deep-dish was invented in Chicago in the 1940s. Miriam Weiskind, a tour guide with Scott’s Pizza Tours in New York, happened to be on the recent Chicago tour, wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a slice of pizza. She said she tries to focus on a particular pizza’s ingredients and explain to people on her tours “what goes into it so at the end they understand why they like it.”

Envelopes in Marriott hotels encourage tips for maids NEW YORK — Do you leave a tip in your hotel room for the maid? Marriott is launching a program with Maria Shriver to put envelopes in hotel rooms to encourage tipping. The campaign, called “The Envelope Please,” begins this week. Envelopes will be placed in 160,000 rooms in the U.S. and Canada. Some 750 to 1,000 hotels will participate from Marriott brands like Courtyard, Residence Inn, J.W. Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance hotels. The name of the person who cleans the room will be written on the envelope along with a message: “Our caring room attendants enjoyed making your stay warm and comfortable. Please feel free to leave a gratuity to express your appreciation for their efforts.” Shriver, who founded an organization called A Woman’s Nation that aims to empower women, says many travelers don’t realize tipping hotel room attendants is customary. “There’s a huge education of the traveler that needs to occur,” she said. “If you tell them, they ask, ‘How do I do that?’ ” She said envelopes make it easy for guests to leave cash for the right person in a secure way.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Wife can’t change abusive husband Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married more than 40 years. He rarely calls me by my name and never uses terms of endearment. He just talks at me. I’ve put up with his emotional neglect and his forcing me to have sex when I didn’t want to. He’s had so many affairs, I have lost count. He has refused to do any repairs to our home except for the cheapest kind. He also built a garage as big as our house, and it’s so filled with junk that there is barely enough room for the cars. He also piles junk in the house. This man is a scoutmaster, and everyone thinks he is a saint. He was on a nearby campout, and when I came home last night and turned on the kitchen lights, sparks shot out everywhere and all the electricity went off. I called my husband and told him he had to come fix it. He came home and played with the fuse box and then said I had to call an electrician. He said he was going back to camp. But he didn’t. I called him after he left — and long after he should have returned to the campsite — but he still wasn’t there. He said he had just reached the town limits. When I asked where he had been all this time, he made up some flimsy excuse. What can I do? — No Lights Dear No Lights: You can ask yourself why you are still with a man who neglects you, physically assaults you, has multiple affairs and can’t even bother to keep his home in good repair. We would consider this an abusive relationship. You cannot force your husband to be a decent man. You can, however, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline. org) at 1-800-799-SAFE and also get counseling for yourself. Ask your doctor to refer you. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Arizona,” whose friend “Mary” had cut off their friendship after 30 years because Arizona didn’t use her mortgage lender. In your response, you said Mary is high maintenance, emotionally demanding, etc. When I read the letter, I judged her to be getting a kickback from the mortgage lender. Second, why is the name

“Mary” used so often when things are bad? After all, there is a famous Mary from the Bible. — Mary B. Dear Mary: To answer your first comment, we agree that Mary may have been getting a kickback, but it doesn’t make her any less high maintenance. “Arizona” said Mary had used this type of emotional blackmail in the past. As to your second question, we don’t deliberately use the name “Mary” to indicate anything negative. We use the pretend names the readers give us or create our own to disguise the identities of the people involved. Mary is a popular and common name, so it pops up a lot, and because most people write us when they have a problem, it would stand to reason that many nasty things involve “Mary.” But we think you’re a peach, so we’ll try not to use it too often. Dear Annie: Thank you for publishing information about gluten and celiac disease. You wrote that gluten stimulates an immune response in celiac disease patients and then went on to mention long-term damage and implications. It could help to heighten awareness among waitstaff and hosts if they knew the specific immediate immune responses gluten provokes in people with celiac disease. For example, my daughter suffers severe abdominal pain and unrelenting diarrhea within a day or two of ingesting gluten. No one would knowingly provoke anaphylactic shock in a person with a nut allergy by “inadvertently” serving them peanuts, so people might be more careful about gluten if they knew the physical symptoms it causes. — Gluten-Free Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are in the limelight, and are enjoying every moment. A partner or associate might not be as steady as you might like. Keep smiling. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Let your imagination play out, especially in a project involving others. Share more of your feelings and thoughts with a close loved one. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be experiencing a lot of different emotions, and might not know how to express them to others. Tonight: How about dinner for two? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be responding to someone’s strong stance instead of assuming control. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might feel the need to accomplish a lot, and you will. However, expect a certain amount of disruption from others. Tonight: Off to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Look within before trying to manipulate an associate or loved one. Why would you even need to do this? Tonight: Make it romantic. Jacqueline Bigar

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2014 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
