NYT Nnn Sonar Deep inside a glacier Greenland are the remain of Camp Century, a short- lived experiment in making the Cold War literal. In 1959, the US. Army began building a network of tun- nels, carved inside the ice, that it hoped might be- come a launch site for nuclear missiles. By 1967, the military had abandoned the idea and the base. But the samples of ice and frozen sediment that scientists extracted from deep underneath Camp Century are still providing insights into the planet's history. When Paul Bierman, a gmlogest at the University of Vermont, began study- ing some of these samples, he made a surprising dis- covery. Scientists had once believed that Greenland's ice sheet had been largely stable for the last 2.6 mil- lion years. But what Bier- nd his colleagues saw under the microscope provided clear evidence that pans of the ice sheet had temporarily melted away far more recently. Roughly 400,000 years ago, the site had been free of ice. Bierman spoke to The New York Times about this discovery, which he chron- icles in his new book, "When the Ice Is Gone." Q: In your book, you say that these samples led to the only real eureka mo- ment of your scientific Career.

The trial showcased not only pout, but also the giant Brazilian engineering firm Odebrecht, which bribed the former Ecuador- an official over several years to make $100 million of government fines on a hydroelectric power plant protect vanish.

Such a designation is among the most severe by the agency, which over- sees all long-term care facilities in Florida. Last year, health reg- ulators placed the home on the state's "watch list" of facilities that have failed to meet minimum standards of care. It ap- pears the home remained on the list for 24 days for violating the stale law governing the discharge of residents and their right to return, if they wish. North Dade has been well-known to state health administrators: In 2020, it was sold by disgraced nursing -home mogul Phil- lip Esformes, who was convicted a year earlier in what was called the "larg- est healthcare fraud scheme ever charged by the Justice Department." He was ordered to serve 20 years in a federal pri- son, but that sentence was commuted by then -Presi- dent Donald Trump short- ly before he left office. The new owner also has been enveloped in scan- daL Bent Philipson, a con- troversial healthcare in- vestor, bought the facility for almost 624 million, cording to Miami -Dade property records. He also purchased at least two other assisted -living facil- ities from the Esformes family, For Haven and Harmony Health, The Real Deal previously reported. Philipson and his son have had ownership stakes in dozens of nursing homes across the country. In December of 2022, New York Attorney Gener- al Leticia James charged the pair and 10 others with diverting 522.6 million in Medicaid and Medicare funds meant for patient care at a nursing home that they owned in Wood- bury, New York In March of this year, a Nassau County Supreme Court judge ordered Philipson to be removed as an owner. Though Florida's health- care agency, often called AHCA, has documented a litany of violations at Noh Dade during the past five years, elders and thew family members considering the home might have real trouble understanding the cita- tions. AHCA uses redac- tion software that often makes h impossible to comprehend the docu- ments, in which virtually all dates, diagnoses, body parts and other words are blacked out — even though the agency already pro- tects the identities of resi- dents. One family told the Miami Herald their short- lived experience with the home was frustrating and disappointing. Claudia Carvajal's 76-year-old mother, Maria, had been in the end stages of colon cancer when family mem- bers decided to move her to the North center in late THE 'MOST DEPRESSING' PLACE She told the Herald her mother needed 24-hour care and the family had to accept that she needed the kind of attention that only nursing home could give. After a couple of days, Carvajal and her sister visited their mother at the home. "Tndy that place is the most depressing you can imagine," Carvajal said in Spanish. "The smell was honible. The place was duty. The people who worked there lacked hu- manity." Carvajal's mother only lived at the facility for about a week before she fell, prompting staff to call 911. Carvajal said the staff was so disorganized that no one could ever tell her how her mother fell or what exactly led up to the 911 call. It took about a month to get her mother's belongings back. 'Those people [staff] didn't care about any- body," she said. "They couldn't tell us anything." Carvajal's mom was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, and, when she recovered, Carvajal plead- ed with a social worker to place her mother in a different home, she said. She ended up elsewhere, and Carvajal said the new facility made a world of difference. Carvajal said she wasn't very surprised when she learned that a man's re- mains had been fond inside a closet. "1t did make me very sad know- ing my mother was there and it very easily could've been her when she lived there," she said. Administrators at the nursing home, at 1255 NE 135th Street in North Mia- mi, did not reply to a re- quest for an interview by the Herald. The Agency for Health Care Adminis- tration did not respond to an email from a Herald reporter. On Sept. 2, the body of 71-year-old Elin Etienne was fond decomposing in a storage closet. Etienne, who suffered from de- mentia, had been reported missing on Aug. 22. Ruth Etienne, the man's grand- daughter, told the Herald he had suffered an aneu- rysm. North Miami police on Monday said the Miami Dade County Medical Examiner's Office had confirmed his identity. The cause of death has not been determined, and police continue to investi- gate the circumstances surrounding Etiene's death, said department spokesman Maj. Kessler Brooks.

His body was found in a closet al the facility on SepL 2. residents are treated in a dignified manner and treated with respect." Inspectors wrote that when they observed break- fast that day, they saw staff members standing up while feeding residents who can't feed them- selves- Residents who were too disabled to eat on their own were referred to as "feeders," the report said. Some of those resi- dents had to wait a half- hour and watch as their non -disabled peers fin- ished their meals before they could eat their own, "At the time of the meals all the [nursing assistants] have been as- signed their section and they assist all the feeders that they have in their section. If there are not enough staff, they have to wait a few minutes,'" the report quotes one nurse as saying. "Sometimes it takes a while for the staff to come; 1 assume it's because they are busy. When they serve the food sometimes some residents had to wait a little longer than usual ones because the staff are busy or there are not enough," said one resident to the AHCA inspector. The resident had been living at the facility for more than a year. NAKED RESIDENT The inspectors also witnessed one resident who was not wearing pants and was exposing himself while other resi- dents were eating. "1 need some clothes," the man, identified as Resident 48, said, when questioned by inspectors. When a nurse called for help to dress the man, "no one responded," the report said. Ittook a while for staff to get him clothed, the repo said. Inspectors watched as another resi- dent propelled himself around on his wheelchair with his feet, which had no socks or shoes, they wrote. Reacting to the staffs treatment of residents, the home's nursing director told inspectors: "We need to do an in-service [train- ing] on dignity." The inspection, which was completed Aug. I, faulted the home for fall- ing to offer residents an appropriate diet- One woman, identified as Resi- dent 186, called the food "lousy."

As it rums out, Resident 186 was on a Ibnited fat diet- A review of the home's menu confirmed the resident's complaint. Three weeks in a row, residents were given a "hot roast beef sandwich [or[ hamburger" with french fries or a baked potato and either buttered carrots or chilled beets for bosh Inch and dinner on Sunday. The home's dietary manager also confirmed residents weren't happy abut the menu: "She stated 'the residents were complaining about the same food being repeated ... and there were no changes'." The dietitian told inspectors she had asked a food company to vary the food choices, but, the report says, "changes were not made to the menu-" The report also cited the lack of cleanliness in the kitchen. A microwave oven that was used to warm food for residents was fond to be "not clean" and had "brown, dried substances and con- tained brown -like rust stains," At the August inspec- tion, monitors also noted issues with a resident's care planaccess to dental care for another resident, improper drug storage and safety haz- ards. In the August repo, the home was cited for failing to provide proper care for residents. Among the missteps mentioned in the report: One woman, Resi- dent 186, was fond sitting in bed watching television without what appeared to have been her dentures. When asked where they were, the woman said, "1 have not seen the dentist since 1 have been here.) want to see the dentist" The nursing -home records confirmed she had never seen a dentist A year earlier, AHCA inspectors faulted the home for several addition- al lapses, including the presence of "strong odors" and an unclean, disre- paired and unkempt ap- pearance throughout the facility. State inspectors were so concerned by what they taw that day that they designated 211209 resi- dents at "immediate jeop- ardy" of "life threatening" harm- Details of what inspectors saw are redact- ed in the report, except that some kind of "mon- itoring equipment" was being shared by "multiple residents" — leaving them at risk of "contamination." On the day of the in- spection, March 23, 2023, the report said, the floor of Resident 146's room "was noted to be covered in" something that the state redacted and in need of housecleaning- Whatever was on the floor, it smell- ed bad, though the home's housekeeping director insisted to inspectors "there is nothing they coo do." That same day, inspec- tors reported seeing "a long line and a crack in the ceiling with a brown, nut- like water spa in the ceil- ing" in Resident 91's The toilet in Resident 51's room was in "dis- repair," with loud, running water. The maintenance director promised to "work on it and fir it" The previous year, in October 2022, inspectors faulted the home for fail- ing to 'timely report sus- pected abuse, neglect or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities."

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 14 2014 MIMAIHEk0ID 1A Under a ANTNu NTT Nees Sersv Deep inside a glacier in Greenland are the remains of Camp Century, a short. lived experiment in making the Coll War literal. In 1959, the U.S. Army began building a network of tun- nels, carved inside the ice, that it hoped might be. come a launch site for nuclear missiles. By 1967, the military had abandoned the idea and the lase. But the samples frozen army base, he found incredible fossils of ice and frozen sediment that scientists extracted from deep underneath Camp Century are still providing insights into the planet's history. When Paul Bierman, a geologist at the University of Vermont, began study- ing some of these samples, he made a surprising dis- covery. Scientists had once believed that Greenland's ice sheet had been largely stable for the last 2.6 mil- lion years. But what Bier- man his colleagues saw under the microscope provided clear evidence that parts of the ice sheet had temporarily melted away far more recently. Roughly 400,000 yearn ago, the site had been free of lee. Bierman spoke to The New York Times about this discovery, which he clvon- icles in his new book, "When the Ice Is Gone." Q: In your book, you say that these samples led to the only real eureka mo- ment of your scientlfi career. A: The samples showed upon this really steamy July afternoon in a DHL box with a lot of freezer packs. We got this incred- ible whiff of diesel fuel, because in the 1960s they used a mix of diesel fuel and trichloroethylene — that's dry-cleaning fluid — to keep the hole in the ice open while they were drill- ing.

At his fiat appearance in federal court in Miami, he was granted a S14 mil- lion personal surety bond secured with his family's assets.

In April, a 12-person federal jury in Miami unan- imously found the 73-year- old former Ecuadorian official guilty of conspiring to commit money laundering and five related counts, carrying up to 20 years in prison.

Army began balding a network of tun- nels, carved inside the ice, that it hoped might be - me a launch site for nuclear missiles. By 1967, the military had abandoned the idea and the base. But the sampler of ice and frozen sediment that scientists extracted from deep underneath Camp Century are still providing insights into the planet's history. When Paul Biemun, a geologic at the University of Vermont, began study- ing some of these samples, he made a surprising dis- covery. Scientists had once believed that Greenland's lie sheet had been largety stable for the last 2.6 mil- lion years. But what Bier- man his colleagues saw under the microscope provided clear evidence that parts of the ice sheet had temporarily melted away far more recently. Roughly 400,000 years ago, the site had been free IN ice. Bierman spoke to The New York Tim. about this discovery, which he chron- icles in his new book, "When the Ice Is Gone." Q: In your book, you say that these samples led to the only real eureka mo- ment of your scientific career. A The sampler showed upon this realty steamy July afternoon in a DHL box with a lit of freezer packs. We got this incred- ible whiff of diesel fuel, because in the 1960s they used a mix of diesel fuel and tricldoroethylene — that's dry-cleaning nod — to keep the hole in the ice open while they were drill- ing. We were sieving these ampler, which involved trying to sort them by the size of the grain. So we take out the cobbles and the sand and the silt.... All of a sudden 1 see tittle black flecks floating at the top, and 1 sat of did a double take. I looked over at the two people with me and said, "I think we have fossil plants in here." I took a pipette, and I squeezed up these little black Flecks. Drew Christ, who was a postdoctoral fellow With me, popped them under the micro- scope. And there were about 10 seconds of dead silence before he popped his head up with a string of happy expletives. We were staring at plants that grew where the ice sheet is today. ... From then on, we kept finding fossils: fungus, insect parts, smell pia. of wood, leaves, poppy seed- It's stunning. Q: What was so stun- ning? A It grabs your gut to see a poppy seed where today there's miles of ice. It is the bond of evidence that everybody under- stands: Today it's ice, and yesterday it was plants FROM RAGE 1A INDICTMENT John Pout surrendered to federal authorities on Tues- day. At his first appearance in federal court in Miami, he was granted a $14 mil- lion personal surety bond secured with his family's assert. Polit, who also had to make a S100,000 de- posit.s part of the bond, was released late Tuesday. He awaits arraignment on Sept 19. His defense attorneys, Omar Ortega and Reinaldo Dora, said they're review- ing the allegations. In.n interview, Ortega noted that the indictments against the father and the se""mirror each other. "We will be defending John against these accusa- tions," Ortega sad. POSSIBLE 20 YEARS In many ways, the prose- cution of the son will be a bookend to the fathers se. In April, a 12-person federal jury in Miami unan- imously farad the 73-year- Old former Ecuadorian official guilty of conspiring to commit money laundering and five related ypunts, carrying up to20 ears in prison. The elder rol a, who immediately surrendered to prison au- thoriti. rids being held at the Miami Federal De- tention Center, ism be sentenced on Sept. 27. The trial showcased not only Pond, but also the giant Brazilian engineering fine Odebrecht, which bribed the former Ecuador- ian official over several years to make S100 million of government fines on hydroelectric power plant project vanish. In 2016, Odebrecht admitted to a massive bribery scheme across the Americas and agreed to pay S2.6 billion in a record corruption settlement with the U.S. Justice Depart- ment. Polit's trial was a spinoff of that high -profile scandal, offering for the fist time the prosecution of an Odebrecht-linked de- fendant on conspiracy and money laundering Marg. in the U.S. At the trial of the father in Miami, his defense at- torneys tried to conp6rt- mentalize the roles of the father and son, suggesting that Carlos Putty who ac- cepted the bribes from the Odebrecht contactors, had nothing do with the corrup- tion proceeds oUegedly being laundered by John Polit in Miami But prose- cutors Alexander Kramer and Michael Berger argued through a series of witness- es, wire transfers, bank deposits and investments that their col. were inter- twined in a classic onsph- ecy. He used his power to sure he got his money," Kramer said in closing arguments, explaining that Carlos Polit didn't have M launder the money himself to be found guilty. "He was jhw as responsible as his son. When his son was hiding that money [in Miami' ... that was Carlos Polit breaking the law." Polit's son, loin, was listed as "co-conspirator 1" in the indictment charging the father, who stood trial alone. John Polies name me up repeatedly in the bribery payment transfers through Panamanian and Muni bank accounts The money moved through intermediary com- pani. into nearly a dozen local real estate deals, including the purchase of a Miami office building and a luxury home in exclusive Caaplum in Coral Gables.

The arson -sparked Line fire has chewed through 38,000 acres in the San Bernardino Mountains between Highland and Big Bear lake, prompting the vacuadon of several mountain communities. The Bridge fire consumed nearly 53,000 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles and San Ber- nardino comties, destroy- ing more than a doom structures. And the Airport fire swept through 23,000 acres in Orange and River- side counties. The three blazes are sell largely uncontrolled, but an incoming cold front and cloudy weather this week- end are expected to offer me reprieve, officials said Saturday. Much of South- ern California saw temper- atures ranging from the high 60s to mid-70s throughout the day. Many pares of the region are expected to see a dou- ble-digit drop in temper- atures, extensive cloud cover and a chance for light rain over the next few days, zccadl0g to the National Weather Service. Madcislg me of the most drastic Brings, downtown Los Angeles is forecast to see high temperatures in the low 70s, a nearly 40-de- gree drop from its high of 112 degrees on Sept. 6. There is even a slight chance for light rain Wednesday and Thursday. These milder conditions - along with increased humidity - are also expect- ed to extend farther inland ne ar the wildfires. "As we've seen the last few days, there's been a pretty goad cooling trend from the excessive heat wave that we saw persist for almost a week," Nation- al Weather Service meteo- rologist Bryan Lewis said "This provides some really nice relief, especially after these fires have been going out of control."

The Air- port fire was only 9% con- tained. Patchy fog and drizzling ram could help firefighters in these ha spots as well. "We're calling it more of a drizzle to light rain," Lewis said. "That'll likely impact these lower eleva- tion areas, it'll help dampen the fuels and potentially help put out some of the smaller spot fires" Meanwhile, communities stretching from the San Gabriel Mountains to Lake Elsinore remain under a smoke advisory from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The au district has encouraged residents to take precau- tions to protect themselves fromdangerous levels of air pollution, including re- maining indoors and keep- ing windows dosed as wildfires have relwsed large plumes of smoke and ash, which continue to hoveR over nearby commu- nities.

Torres also has nearly three decades on the force, meaning that he's likely to have been in many circumstances with people who could end up complaining about him, Piquero said. "Six is more than one or zero, but if he's had so many contacts over his career, there's bound to be tutions that could result in him being written up," Piquero told the Herald. "Twenty-seven years is a long time in law enforce- ment." Tortes earned about 5171,000 as a county police officer last year, including S39,000 from overtime pay, according to a county database.

An officer had told Hill to lower his windows, which were tinted black, and Hill did not immedi- ately comply, triggering the escalation. When Hill didn't imme- diately sit on the sidewalk as ordered, saying he needed a moment because of recent knee surgery, Torres came up behind Hill, wrapped an arm around his neck and, with another officer, forced him to sit. Torres would then handcuff Dolphins defen- sive tackle Calais Camp- bell, who had stopped to check on Hill as he was driving to the stadium. Another officer, M. Bads- ta, ordered Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith, who had also stopped, to leave the scene. In the end, Hill received two traffic citations: a 5129 fine for a seat -belt violation and a $179 fine for careless driving. Days later, Hill told the media that he may have had some fault in the altercation but that he should not have been treated in such a way by the officers.

Stierheim was also the engine driving the arrival in 1980 of today's Zoo Miami from its 1940s origins as Crandon Park. "Merrett was a very special mentor and friend to me," said Magill, Zoo Miami's spokesman since its inception. "Were it not for him, I would have left the zoo years ago when 1 was offered a very presti- gious position at another zoo. When he found out I was going to leave, he called me up and said, 'No, you're not! You're too valuable to lose!' He asked what it would take to keep me here. 1 told him, not thinking anything could be done, and he said, 'Let's do a county reclassifica- tion of your position that better describes what you do and gives you what you deserve.' "... I was so moved that this man who quite frankly intimidated me very much, would go to such lengths to keep me here."

Department of Justice to investigate Gov. Non DeSantis' administration over its decision to review thousands of already ver- ified, abortion -amendment petitions. In the letter, the Demo- crats said they are "fully supportive of robust, trans- parent investigations into instances of signature fraud," but said "the De - Santis administration's tardy, opaque, unusual, and redundant investigation does not appear to be of this nature." Florida's secretary of state certified Amendment 4 for November ballots in late January after the group sponsoring the amendment got nearly 1 million vali- dated petitions in support. The amendment, which DeSantis opposes, would protect abortion access in the state until viability, generally considered to be about 24 weeks of preg- nancy. In the past few weeks, the Florida Department of State has contacted at least six county elections offices asking them to pull about 37,000 verified signatures for review for potential fraud. One county supervisor told the Tampa Bay Times the requests were unprece- dented. The slate's request focused on versed signa- tures, not rejected petitions, which have been the basis for past fraud cases. The letter from the con- gressional Democrats also asks the federal agency to look into an anti -Amend- ment 4 website posted last week by the Florida Agency for Health Care Adminis- tration. The website claims the amendment "threatens women's safety." DeSantis has defended the website, saying it and a related advertisement were a "public-service announce- ment" and that all the in - PAW OCNE. nee Democrats have also asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Florida Gov. Ron DeSanlii administration for creating a websne that opposes the proposed Florida abortion amendment, which would protect abortion access in the state until viability. formation was accurate. (The Florida Supreme Court this week fast -tracked a case That was fled against DeSantis and others and alleges the stare website violates laws that prohibit state offers from using their official power to in- terfere with elections) The Democrats in the letter, say the governor's intent with the website and the petition review is to Intimidate people out of voting for Amendment 4. "Floridians, including the hundreds of thousands who contributed a signature in the hopes that they could vote to restore women's right to bodily autonomy, deserve the freedom to cast a ballot in November un- tainted by illegal political ploys," the letter says Seven of Florida's eight congressional Democrats signed the knee, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston. Rep. Jared Mos- kowitz, who represents parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, is the only Florida US. House member who didn't sign. When asked for com- ments, DeSantis' office nefened to social -media posts from governor's office employees One post was from mnior management analyst Christina Pushaw, who said "Florida has the DITTY to ensure election integrity and security. No nt of fraud should be tolerated, and any fraudu- lent / forged signatures - probable cause to investi- gate further." The Department of Jus- tice declined to comment on Thursday. `She's on tusi.
