Thousands of veterans left without doctor in NMALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Officials at a Veterans

Affairs medical center in Albuquerque say as many as 3,000 patients were assigned to a doctor who didnt actually see them, a New Mexico congresswoman said Wednesday.

The officials told U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., that the practice of putting patients without pri-mary care doctors into a separate pool was part of an effort to balance demand and a shortage of doctors at a facility that handled nearly 660,000 outpatient visits last year.

They said the health of patients was monitored and those who needed urgent care were seen either in clinics, emergency rooms or squeezed onto the schedule of another doctor, but it wasnt immediately clear whether the practice put any veter-ans at risk.

It also wasnt clear how long they waited to be assigned to a doctor. Officials said the practice began in summer 2012 and lasted until January 2014, but they have not said what prompted the end of the program.

The congressional staffers were told nearly two-thirds of patients at the Albuquerque VA medical center are seen within a 14-day window, but Lujan Grisham questioned the data given that VA officials werent initially forthcoming about the patient pool.

The disclosure of the separate patient pool, which was managed though the local VAs computer system, comes as the Veterans Affairs Department grapples with allegations that secret waiting lists and delayed care sometimes led to the death of veterans in other states.

The congresswoman said she has asked for more informa-tion from VA officials, including the results of an internal review. We want everything, and I dont think we should stop until theres no stone left unturned, she said.

A VA spokeswoman didnt immediately return messages seeking comment Wednesday.

The Albuquerque Journal first reported on the practice by the Albuquerque medical center last week.

The scrutiny began after a federal investigation into the troubled Phoenix VA Health Care System found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were at risk of being lost or forgotten after being kept off an electronic waiting list.

Details about scheduling problems at other VA facilities have continued to surface since the investigation began. The probe has found widespread problems throughout a health

care system that provides medical care to about 6.5 million veterans annually.

An official with the VA medical center in Wichita, Kansas, said Wednesday that 385 veterans appeared on an unauthor-ized list of those waiting for care and an unknown number of those veterans waited longer than 90 days for treatment.

The VA maintained 10 secret waiting lists of veterans seek-ing care at facilities in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, according to VA letters released this week. The letters also said at least 96 veterans waited more than 90 days for treat-ment at seven facilities in those states.

Regarding health care delays in southwestern Illinois, U.S. Rep. John Shimkus said officials had assured him last week there were no scheduling delay problems. The Republican said Wednesday he surprised to learn otherwise this week. A development, he said, that raises more questions.

Lujan Grisham said she was dismayed to learn of the separate patient pool a week after meeting with local officials and being assured there were no secret waiting lists or other practices that would affect veterans access to care.

She said it will be difficult for the VA to rebut the presump-tion that information about the patient pool was purposely hidden.

New Mexico VA officials told congressional staffers during a conference call Friday that the practice wasnt intended to hide patients but rather to keep track of them until they could be assigned a primary care doctor. It made it appear the veter-ans had a primary care physician when they didnt.

The medical supervisor assigned to the patient pool didnt see patients but was available by phone.

Thats not the same as a primary care appointment, Lujan Grisham said. I dont agree thats fair access.

Among the things Lujan Grisham is trying to find out is how many calls the medical supervisor handled, whether that information made it into the veterans medical records and if serious cases were reassigned to doctors who could see the patients.

James Robbins, interim director of the New Mexico Veterans Affairs medical center, told congressional staffers during last weeks briefing he only learned of the practice recently, according to Lujan Grishams office.

The New Mexico VA website lists more than 480 doctors, dentists, nurses and other licensed practitioners.

E - The Environmental Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: What are the environmental implica-tions of the so-called driver-less car that Google and oth-ers are working on right now?

April Jackman, Barre, MA

Just a decade ago most of us wouldnt have dreamed wed live to see driverless cars whisk-ing people around, but things are changing fast and analysts now think they will be common by 2020 and account for the majority of cars on the road by 2040. And with Googles recent unveiling of its latest prototype complete with no pedals or steering wheel the future is indeed closer than we ever imagined.

Proponents argue that driver-less cars also called autono-mous cars are inherently more sustainable than their manned counterparts. For one, they say, once they are wide-ly available many of us will forego owning our own cars in favor of car-sharing, whereby the autonomous vehicle comes to you, charged and ready to go, as needed. Thus the result could be far fewer cars on the road than today. According to

Steve Gutmann of the Seattle-based sustainability think tank Sightline Institute, such a car-sharing sce-nario would also obviate the need for many parking spaces. Today the typical private car spends upwards of 90 percent of its time parked. Once we have more driv-erless cars, well

need far fewer parking spaces, leading to less land being paved and reducing storm water runoff and heat island effects accord-ingly.

The networked brains of these vehicles will also reduce ineffi-cient routes and decrease overall driving time, leading to better air quality and lower carbon emis-sions. Also, the increased safety of driverless vehicles they obey speed limits, can sense peo-ple, bikes and other cars coming toward them, and accelerate and brake much more gradually than human drivers will mean that the cars can be lighter and require far fewer resources in manufac-turing, reducing their overall envi-ronmental impact even further.

On the flip side, the advent of driverless cars means that many of us now not able to drive because of age or physical handicaps will be able to use these cars to get around, potentially leading to an increase in the number of cars on the road. And Chandra Bhat of the Center for Transportation Research at the University of Texas points out that just because a car is driverless doesnt mean well want it to be smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient. He fears

that driverless cars will engender a return to larger vehicles because people will want more comfort-able space when they are free to stretch out, relax, read, videochat, text or even nap during their trips. He adds that driverless cars could lead to more urban sprawl as car commuting becomes more toler-able without the hassle of actually driving.

Bhat also wonders what will become of the public transit sys-tems weve invested so heavily in if driverless cars offer the same advantages using the time en route to do whatever one pleases with the added benefit of pri-vacy and route/timing flexibility.

Today four U.S. states Nevada, Florida, California and Michigan allow driverless cars on their public roads for the pur-pose of testing; several other states are considering similar allowanc-es. Likewise, in 2013 the United Kingdom began allowing the test-ing of driverless cars on its public roadways. Besides Google, sev-eral leading automakers and other companies have developed their own prototypes. Car enthusiasts can expect to see such examples from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, Tesla and others at auto shows over the next few years, and can look forward to getting behind the wheel of one within a decade. Whatever hap-pens, it certainly is going to be quite a ride.

Driverless or autonomous cars may be com-monplace by 2020, some analysts say, and are tout-ed by proponents as more sustainable than their driven counterparts. But convenience factors could tip the scales the other way and mean more and larger vehicles on the road. Pictured: Googles pro-totype driverless car, a converted Prius, undergoing testing.

Midterm budget bill clears state SenateCOLUMBUS (AP) A package of

Ohio tax changes backed by the governor cleared the state Senate on Wednesday as part of a midterm budget bill.

The measure was to go to the House for a vote but was held up amid concerns from some representatives who wanted to ensure the Legislature had control over $300 million set aside in the bill for a Medicaid reserve fund. The fund covers unexpected expenses for the taxpayer-funded health program.

The House wanted us to put belt and suspenders on it, so were putting belt and suspenders on it, Senate President Keith Faber, a Celina Republican, told reporters.

A GOP-backed amendment added by the Senate in a separate bill would set

limitations on how the money could be used.

The sweeping budget bill contains an agreement over how to spend certain funding for mental health and addic-tion treatment services. Another provi-sion would create an evaluation system for caseworkers at county Job and Family Services departments.

The bills tax package supported by Gov. John Kasich includes a plan to double Ohios earned income tax credit from 5 percent to 10 percent for low-income taxpayers and increase personal income-tax exemptions for residents mak-ing under $80,000 a year.

The legislation also accelerates a planned 10 percent income-tax reduction

by six months by reducing withholding rates on the final 1 percent in July rather than January. And it boosts a small busi-ness income-tax reduction to up to 75 percent on income up to $250,000 for the 2014 tax year.

The administration has said stronger state revenue than expected would allow for the cuts, estimated at $402 million.

Democrats have called the bill a missed opportunity to invest additional money in childrens services, schools and commu-nities, not tax cuts.

But Senate Finance Chairman Scott Oelslager, a Canton Republican, said the tax package would help signal that the state was open for business. Ohio must compete with our neighboring states, he

said.A Kasich spokesman said he is expect-

ed to sign the bill. The governor can use his line-item veto authority on the mea-sure.

The budget bill also contains a provi-sion that states college athletes are not employees under state law. The status of full-scholarship football players became an issue in March after a federal labor official ruled Northwestern University players are employees and have a right to unionize.

The legislation was among a vari-ety of bills state lawmakers voted on Wednesday, as they sought to finish their legislative work this week before break-ing for the summer.

Lawmaker wants to force repeal of Common CoreCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A Republican

state lawmaker is trying to force through an Ohio bill repealing Common Core public education standards.

State Rep. John Adams, of Sidney, says hes working to collect the 50 signatures needed on a discharge petition to circumvent a committee vote and send the bill directly to the floor. Adams says the House Education Committee gave the bill only two hearings. Its been stalled since November.

Adams announced the effort as a House vote on a separate education-related bill stalled Wednesday.

The influential Ohio Business Roundtable appealed to the House in October to kill or sideline the repeal. The group deemed Common Core standards reasonable, flex-ible and necessary to help Ohio and America compete.

Critics worry the standards could limit academic freedom and increase the federal governments education role.

Time for farmers to scout for pestsBY JAMES HOORMAN

Putnam County ExtensionAg Educator

This article was written by Ed Lentz and revised and updated by Jim Hoorman.

The wheat crop is generally looking good this year but farmers should start scouting for pests.

The wheat crop will produce no more leaves or tillers by the time the grain heads have emerged from the stems. The existing leaves will have to provide all the photosynthetic energy the plant and grain need until harvest.

One leaf on the wheat stem provides most of the energy for the developing grain. It is the last leaf to emerge and the first leaf below the grain head called the flag leaf since it is the highest of the leaves and resembles a flag. Grain yields will be significantly reduced if pests or nature damages this leaf early in the grain fill period since it provides 80-85 percent of the wheats carbohydrates.

To prevent yield losses, farmer may use fungicides to protect the flag leaf against foliar diseases such as septoria and powdery mildew. Farmers will also scout fields to insure that insects are not damaging the flag leaf and use an insecticide if the insect population is above an established threshold level. The most common insect problems are armyworms and cereal leaf beetles.

Many wheat fields are now flowering and the pollination process generally is completed in three to five days. During flowering, the wheat head is susceptible to infection from a serious disease called Fusarium head scab. Infected kernels

may produce a toxin called vomitoxin that is harmful to humans and live-stock. This same Fusarium fungus also infects corn stalks and becomes the source of Fusarium head scab in wheat. The amount of fungal spores produced is dependent on spring temperatures and spores will not infect wheat heads except during extended periods of rain and high humidity during flowering.

Resistant wheat varieties are the best control against Fusarium head scab. However, these varieties generally yield significantly less than non-resistant vari-eties. In recent years, fungicides have become available. However, they are expensive, have to be sprayed at flower-ing to be effective and still only provide about 50 percent control. It can be diffi-cult to apply fungicides if it rains during wheat pollination.

Plant pathologists (including Ohio State University Extension) have devel-oped a computer program that predicts the risk of head scab. Farmers and con-sultants use this program to determine the need of a fungicide for head scab. The program may be found at www.wheatscab.psu.edu. At this time the pro-gram has shown low risk for head scab across the state of Ohio.

The wheat crop in general looks good in our area with only a few pest problems. Wheat is shorter than normal so straw may be in short supply again this year. If Mother Nature cooperates, a respectable crop should be harvested in about 30 to 40 days. (Lentz, 2014)

Wheat is a cool season grass so if temperatures remain below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, wheat generally produces higher yields. Once the temperature gets

above 80, wheat starts to die and the plant produces less carbohydrates and sugars, so the wheat yield goes down.

Sam Custer, Darke County Extension, provided the following information.

Barry Ward, Leader, Production Business Management in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics has announced the release of the 2014 Ohio Field Crop Enterprise Budgets. OSU Enterprise budgets help track farm income and expenses to determine the most profit-able enterprise(s) and if you have met your farm goals.

Budgeting is often described as pen-ciling it out before making financial decisions and committing resources to a plan. OSU Extension has developed Enterprise Budgets for many years as a starting point in the budgeting process. Newly updated 2014 Enterprise budgets are available at aede.osu.edu/research/osu-farm-management/eneterprise-budgets. New 2014 Enterprise Budgets include: Corn-Conservation Tillage, Soybeans-No-Till (Roundup Ready) and Wheat-Conservation Tillage.

Users can input their own produc-tion and prices levels on download-able Excel spreadsheets to calculate their own numbers. The spreadsheets were easy-to-use macros and color-coded cells that allow producers to plug in their own numbers to calculate their bottom line for different sce-narios. Detailed footnotes help explain the methodology behind the budget numbers. Budgets include a date in the upper right hand corner of the front page to indicate when the last update occurred. (Custer, 2014)

Local SWCDs host conservation field day for farmers


ADA The Allen and Hardin Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) are hosting a field day for farmers on June 16 on the subjects of cover crops and water level control struc-tures. The evening program will be conducted on Mike Willekes farm north of Ada.

Willeke and partner Ryan Shanks will share their expe-riences with equipment, seed application methods, mixes, timing and improved soil health. A number of displays will be featured. Shanks and Willeke are grain farmers and also operate Buckeye Soil Solutions, a seed application and equipment customization business.

Use of cover crops in farming is not a new practice but is increasing in popularity because of some very notable and impressive soil improve-ment results.

The other featured speak-er is Mark Seger, a profes-

sional engineer with ODNR, Division of Soil and Water Resources. Seger will over-view what water level control structures are and their use and benefit. His presentation will include four years of yield and nutrient data from four northwest Ohio farms.

The Willeke farm does have functioning water level control structures for view-ing. A tabletop model will also be on display. Drainage management with water level control structures has many benefits including maintaining a higher water table for growing crops in dry summer months, reduc-ing fertilizer loss and less-ening the impact of those nutrients in streams.

The Willeke farm is locat-ed at 23800 County Road 12 Ada, OH 45810. The program will start at 6:30 p.m. with a picnic-style meal to be served at 6 p.m.

For more information, contact Allen SWCD at 419-223-0040 x3 or Hardin SWCD at 419-673-0456 x3.

Two workshops slated on chainsaw safety


MANSFIELD As the emerald ash borer marches across Ohio, it leaves millions of dead ash trees and a cleanup challenge for workers and homeowners.

Thats why the Ohio Woodland Stewards Program, part of Ohio State Universitys College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), is co-sponsoring two upcoming workshops on chainsaw safety.

Some Ohio counties have been through the ash tree die-off already and some are just beginning to feel the pain, said Kathy Smith, CFAES forestry specialist and director of the stewards program. But they all have a common need to bring down trees in the safest way possible.

The emerald ash borer, an invasive insect, has already killed tens of millions of ash trees in Ohio, elsewhere in the Midwest and in southeast Canada. Originally from Asia, it showed up in Ohio in 2003 and since then has spread to most of the state.

Dead ash trees often must be cut down for safety reasons, especially around homes or in public places.

Many times the thought is, I just need to cut that limb up, but the simplest job can easily become a life-changing experi-ence with one false move of the saw, Smith said. Before you have that life-changing experience, make sure you know how to handle the saw properly and know what safety equipment you need to be wearing in conjunction with the saw.

The Ohio Forestry Association (OFA) is also a sponsor of the workshops. Both workshops meet at Ovalwood Hall on Ohio States Mansfield campus, 1760 University Drive.

The first workshop, CSAW (Chainsaw Safety Awareness That Works) Custom, 8 a.m. to noon Friday, covers basic chainsaw safety and operation. Participants will get practice cutting an already downed tree. Registration is $50. Details and a link to register are at go.osu.edu/hVx.

The second workshop, CSAW Level 1 Training, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 20, takes an advanced look at chainsaw safety, fell-ing techniques and personal protective equipment. Participants will fell a tree while guided by an instructor. Registration is $100 for OFA members and $150 for non-members. The dead-line to register is June 16. Details and a link to register are at go.osu.edu/hVz.

For more information, contact 614-688-3421 or [email protected].

The stewards program, administered by CFAESs School of Environment and Natural Resources, is delivered by the colleges statewide outreach arm, Ohio State University Extension.

Free public tour series features Ohios organic and sustainable farms


The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) has announced the farm tours and work-shops that will be includ-ed in the 2014 Ohio Sustainable Farm Tour and Workshop Series, featuring free public tours of some of Ohios finest sustainable and organic farms.

OEFFA has offered these tours for more than 30 years, providing unique opportuni-ties for growers, educators and conscientious eaters to learn about sustainable food and farm products in a real world setting from farm-ers with years of practical

experience.Consumer demand for

fresh, locally produced food and farm products continues to grow, along with the desire to under-stand how food gets from the field to the dinner table. Farmers know all the dirt and this summer, theyre sharing that knowledge about how sustainably produced food is grown, said Lauren Ketcham, OEFFAs Communications Coordinator. The tours are also designed to help farmers and gardeners learn from each other so they can improve their production and marketing techniques and grow their operations.

Fifteen tours, six work-

shops and a farm to table dinner are being sponsored by OEFFA and will be held between June 7 and Nov. 14. The 2014 farm tour and workshop series is promoted in cooperation with the Ohio State University Sustainable Agriculture Team, who is sponsoring additional tours.

Did you hear the one about Johnny?

By JIM METCALFESports Editor

[email protected]

I may have written this before but I never know because I have written more than a column or two or three what was I writing?

Oh, yeah.Now I remember.This is about a recent episode about none

other than Johnny Football Manziel.I believe he did this before and that is

probably what I wrote about then.The story I refer to is his making a recent

trek to Las Vegas to do some fun in the sun or whatever.

He took to Twitter and other social media sites to inform his friends, Romans and countrymen about what he was doing.

He then got offended that those same fans got mad at him for doing this for various and sundry reasons.

Here is one part of my take: if you dont want people to have comments, then dont post everything youre doing on line or Twitter or Cheapskate or Facebook!

If you want to keep doing that you want without people objecting, keep it to your-self. Be my guest.

I do not understand why anyone does this stuff posts their itinerary and every move and then gets mad when people have an opinion.

If he wants to go to Vegas and gamble, etc., that is his business, but when you post it, then to me, you have no leg to stand on if people have problems with it; you act as

if they are violating your privacy and that aint so.

He claims that his teammates and coach-es all back him but whenever I read some-thing like that, I am automatically suspi-cious of that claim.

You are a rookie quarterback that hasnt even gone through a training camp yet and may actually not be the starter once the regular season begins and you act as if you are a superstar already.

This is not college, young man.I get that many teammates and fans

think you might be the second coming of Joe Namath I dont but I leave that for another day but to me, you have to actu-ally earn it, not run a circus for a pro day and get all the excitement built that could end up being built on sandpaper.

My guess is that what a teammate will say to/about you publicly may not be what they tell you privately; remember, what hap-pens in Vegas or the locker room or the Arctic Circle stays there!

If will be interesting if one of those guys or several actually tells him to cool it; how will he react?

You claim you are dedicated to the Browns and that you are committed to be the best quarterback you can be, that you are going to work your butt off for the duration.

I sure hope you are; if that is an issue and you are not committed to all of the above, good luck.

If you can make those junkets to Las Vegas or Atlantic City or Get In Trouble, United States of America, and be a true professional, cool.

That is the question, isnt it?The Oakland/Alameda County/Los

Angeles/Anaheim Raiders of yesteryear under lovable Al Davis were one of the few teams that could get away with behavior like this and still just win, baby. They were legendary in their madness.

I guess the answer to this question as one would write/say on Jeopardy is what is we shall see?
