「女性能撐半邊天。」離島區議會副主席周轉香「香姐」自青年時代，迷你倉將軍澳已積極投入社會工作，全心把東涌發展成今日的新市鎮，並為街坊排難解憂。同時，「香姐」積極增值，堅持邊工作、邊進修，最終取得大學學士資格。幹練和魄力，以及豐富的社會服務經驗，令她數年前獲邀擔任湖北省政協委員。她說，該省擁有美麗的自然風景，但不少景色位處偏遠，影響當地旅遊業發展，也難以改善區內居民生活質素。因此，她建議改善交通樞紐，以及增加對當地民企的支援，希望打通湖北省經濟動脈。■香港文匯報．人民政協專刊記者 鄭治祖香姐祖籍廣東東莞，是地道的廣東人，何以會與中原地帶的湖北省結緣？她說，當年湖北省剛開始改革開放，社會呈現新氣象，省政府吸引很多港澳、外資來建設。為分享施政經驗，省政府邀請在當地經商的商人擔任政協委員，自己身為地區人士，也獲得邀請。她坦言，獲邀時感到有些意外，但細想後，明白到健康發展的社會，應平衡各方意見。商界外，基層聲音也須照顧到，故自己就欣然接受：「能為國家發展出謀獻策，我感到興奮的同時，也感覺到肩膀上多了一份責任感。我希望透過地區經驗，讓湖北省得以健康發展。」香姐說，自己雖然是廣東人，但早於上世紀七八十年代，已曾多次參加地區組織到湖北參觀，故對當地一點也不陌生，「當年最出名就是葛洲壩，其次就是黃鶴樓，武昌起義就在這處發生」。魚米之鄉 潛力甚豐被問及未來工作方向，她說，湖北省位於中原地區，但絕非荒蕪之地，有地理優勢，土壤肥沃、地勢平坦，農業與漁業相當興盛，也是中國魚米之鄉之一。省內有很多大小不同的湖泊，因而享有「千湖之省」稱號，長久以來都是旅遊熱點，可惜一直未有充分倉展。「香姐」指出，不少歷史事件曾在當地發生，春秋時代是楚國文化發源地；秦始皇統一中國後成為交通樞紐；三國時代成為吳國、蜀漢必爭之地；晉代與唐代前後在此設立荊州和鄂州；宋代由於金兵入侵北京，人口南遷，湖北地區逐漸繁榮，有了「湖廣熟、天下足」的諺語；明末商業發達，漢口成為「四大名鎮」之一。荊州博物館 宜增知名度「劉備借荊州」的故事大家都聽過，原來荊州有一家設備很好的博物館，但礙於交通問題，甚少人知道，更遑論「到此一遊」。她建議當局加強宣傳，改善四周配套設施。參觀武漢 了解歷史「香姐」續說，新中國成立後，原中南局設置亦在武漢，近代歷史中對國家發展影響深遠的武昌起義，就在湖北省發生，可說是「一本活生生的國民教育歷史書」。她在未來日子裡，會推動更多香港教育機構到當地交流，讓大家更了解新中國歷史。盼推動生態旅遊歷史遊的同時，她希望推動當地生態旅遊，並舉省內十景為例，指當地風景十分優美，有一片廣闊的竹海。夏天遠遠望去，一片綠油油。又有原始森林，冬天雪景別有一番風味。該處以農業為主，禾熟時，十里一片金黃，猶如仙景。不過，省內美麗的風景多位處偏遠，交通極不方便，變相影響旅遊發展，令經濟生產力不足，難以改善區內居民生活質素。因此，她建議改善交通樞紐，推動發展的同時，也要關顧環境保育工作。發展生態旅遊的同時，也應加強愛護環境及公德心教育。扶助民企 善用資源有見湖北天然資源豐富，「香姐」認為，應予以善用。汲取過去民企成功經驗，她認為，有必要為當地民企提供協助，扶助它們發展，讓它們有效地善用天然資源，把產品以最有效方式推廣到市場，改善民企競爭力、改善居民生活條件。24小時迷你倉

新莊化成路小吃店裡，儲存倉勞工群聚午飯。有人起身想將電視新聞頻道換到某台，正在煮麵的老闆大聲以台語拒絕，「麥叮動喔，新聞攏沒差！這台耶主播咖肖年、咖水！」看新聞，你還會為了主播與頻道的權威度而選台或轉台嗎？年輕鮮嫩的臉孔與美腿，早已取代了對新聞資歷與評論深度的講究。這不只是台灣獨有的現象，歐美及日本傳統嚴肅的公共頻道，也大量汰換資深主播，改以年輕帥美的主持人。中國大陸網路最新爆紅的央視主播，是深夜凌晨時段一位還在實習的北京女大學生！「正妹文化」正在全球全面滲透媒體，並且早已攻陷媒體內容中最講求專業的新聞領域。傳統派憂心，這是新聞道德價值的式微，但媒體趨勢一向是大眾口味及社會文化的指標。「正妹文化」除了將影響媒體經營管理者的決策，資深媒體人恐怕要提前考量生涯何去何從？「正妹文化」由3個社會現象造成。首先，媒體信息大量、過度與重複，觀眾「失去分辨差異敘述的必要」！資深資淺說的都是同一回事，權威性難以彰顯。於是，原始視覺追求樣貌美感的反射性意識，成為電視收視的審美主導。其次，新聞資訊已普遍成為「用過即丟（DISPOSABLE）」屬性，觀眾「不再恭敬聆聽」！媒體面臨的是整個行業，在社會產業領域中的價值衰落。於是，知名度曝光，徹底取代了專業性素養，誰在螢幕上誰贏！成為唯一相對的價值指標。最後，新聞信息的主導權與詮釋權旁落，觀眾「在迷你倉最平路社群發聲的影響力甚至更大」！媒體自身大量從網路及社群追逐題材，成為傳播途徑中的「追隨者」而非「指導者」。於是，觀眾群體的話語權浮出水面，成為媒體價值的唯一核心，收視率也成為媒體內部司判的唯一標準。所謂的「當家主播」可有可無。資深主播與正妹主播之間從此再也沒有價值起點的差異！2013年電視頻道多位極具份量的知名主播與主持人，陸續遭到解約或節目叫停的命運，無疑是在以上3項因素背景下，成為「正妹文化」的犧牲品。台灣媒體經營管理高層，對此趨勢有所覺察，明顯對媒體內部的「資深專業」逐漸棄之如敝屣。但「正妹文化的媒體價值」究竟在哪？如何操作引導外部觀眾的收視新動機？如何塑造轉化成為新的收入模式？雖然資深高薪的砍了不少，但除了減少薪資支出外，顯然也還沒有出新創造價值。這幾年，正妹浪潮一路從商業活動、網路話題、影劇娛樂到新聞頻道，幾乎衝擊了所有資訊傳播及市場行銷屬性的產業。台灣還甚且獨具了「街頭檳榔西施、電視頻道購物、網路宅男社群」的各種加乘力度。可以確定的是，今後無論新舊媒體的經濟價值核心，都將更直接來自「人們的眼球，以及眼球停留的時間」！管你媒體忠孝節義，正妹如今確實就是吸引眼球！一旦不只是勞工階層，當所有其它的人們都在一邊吃麵、連煮麵的老闆也不時轉頭一邊看著螢幕上的正妹時，你決定低頭不看，真會顯得更高尚？（作者為資深媒體人）迷你倉

　　記者 白麗媛　　“2013年就要過去了，迷利倉我很懷念它。”杭州三新路“榮香驢肉館”的老闆邱長榮得知記者要採訪他，大嗓門加上濃重的安徽口音，模仿電影《甲方乙方》里葛優的台詞打趣道。　　至於究竟“懷念”什麼，老邱也說不太清楚，他只對農貿市場里的菜價、經常來他餐館吃飯客人的習慣和自己賬本上的一筆筆賬目最清楚。　　物價上漲，依舊是2013年百姓生活繞不開的話題，老邱的餐館也和很多家庭一樣，感受到了物價上漲帶來的壓力。　　1　7年前，老邱和妻子帶著3個孩子從安徽渦陽老家來到杭州，先在農科院附近開出了第一家早餐店，夫妻倆起早貪黑辛苦經營一年後，小店生意漸漸紅火起來，陸續在杭城又開出五六家分店。現在，其中三個店是他和妻子負責，其他幾家店都交給了侄子們打理。　　我們約定見面的地方，就是老邱去年7月才開出的第三家分店。餐館面積有100平方米，二層的閣樓是服務員的宿舍，一樓除了一個用紅木雕隔斷的包間外，還有10來張小飯桌，主要經營他“獨創”的特色驢肉和手工面，還搭配一些家常的炒菜。　　早上8時，老邱開著麵包車準時出現在離餐館不遠的新塘路農貿市場，每天這個時候，他都會來這裡採購店里需要的食材。走在市場里，老邱很不起眼，在人群里轉來轉去，很快就將當天需要的各種蔬菜的價格摸清，選中“好貨”後就開始砍價。　　“毛毛菜多少錢一斤？”“2.5元一斤！”“你這個菜昨天還是2.2元，今天怎麼又漲到2.5元了？”“我們這個菜新鮮嘛，也是根據市場行情漲價。”因為菜價經常有所變動，老邱不惜挨家挨戶問價格，跟攤主討價還價，希望以最便宜的價格買到最新鮮的菜。　　這一早在農貿市場轉下來，除了黃瓜價格沒什麼變化，青辣椒漲了0.5元，蔥蒜各漲了0.6元外，青菜漲得最厲害，比上周一下子漲了近四分之一。老邱說，現在進菜場最害怕的就是攤主告訴他，菜價又漲了。雖然他的面館不大，主要的食材除了驢肉和牛肉外，每天用的配料也就是一些麵粉、青菜、粉絲和米線，但是每天積累下來，這個量也不小。　　不到9時，老邱已經買好了餐館一天要用的各種蔬菜，開車運回店里。店里只有老邱和一位服務員，擇菜、洗菜、切菜、備好蔥姜蒜等都是服務員幹，老邱自己在廚房里燉肉，做完這些後就開始拿出賬本記賬，當天買什麼菜花了多少錢，都一一記錄。　　老邱給我翻看他的賬本，這些本子，清楚地記錄了老邱經營這家餐館一年多來買菜用的錢，雖然不是專業的賬本，但卻可以清晰地看到菜價的起起伏伏：“驢肉去年是22元一斤，現在一斤是28元；牛肉原來是20元一斤，現在一斤要32元，像青菜我們開店的時候是1元一斤，現在漲到2.5元，有時候要3塊來錢，這個普遍的幅度都是上漲的。”　　2　中午11時，餐館里的客人漸漸多了起來，很快坐滿了大廳里的幾張小飯桌。老邱起身換了衣服走進廚房開始燒菜，服務員忙著給客人點菜。　　接過服務員遞來的菜單，有細心的客人注意到不少標注價格的地方留著被塗抹過的痕跡：原本20元一盤的五香驢肉，2被改成了3；15元一碗的驢肉粉絲湯，價格改成了20元；最便宜的排骨面，價格也從8元調到10元。　　老邱說，就在不久前，面對成本不斷上漲的壓力，他也不得不對餐館里的部分菜品又進行了提價。“假如再漲的話以後價格肯定也還得改變，不然生意再好也會吃不消。”老邱抱怨道。　　老邱不知道，就在去年12月上旬，國家統計局浙江調查總隊剛剛發佈消息，11月份全省居民消費價格總水平比上年同期上漲3迷你倉0%，漲幅比上月回落0.3個百分點；與上月相比，全省居民消費價格總水平下降0.4%。這已經是浙江省連續第二個月CPI在溫和通脹線3%以上了。　　事實上，老邱也說不明白CPI究竟是個啥東西，但他很清楚，這一年來，不僅是蔬菜和肉製品，他餐館里要用的東西都漲了不少錢。　　“漲得最快的還有麵粉和調料，我用的特級麵粉，每袋從80元漲到了98元，每袋漲了18元。”談到成本問題，老邱索性給記者算起賬來：他的3家餐館平均每個月要用40多包麵粉，他每個月為此就要多支出700多元，而且賣麵粉的告訴他，臨近年底了，近期可能還要漲價。　　不僅如此，近一年來，味精每斤漲了1.5元，他每月要150斤；鹽每斤漲了0.7元，他每月要100多包；醬油每斤漲了0.7元，他每月要用30瓶，還有油、大米都在漲。“光這些東西，每月也要多支出近千元。”　　除了必要的開支，服務員工資的上漲也很快。店里10來個包吃住的服務員工資每月從1800元漲到了2200元，為了留住員工，老邱還給在外租房的幾個服務員每人每月加了200元補貼。　　老邱說，他不是沒有想過將菜量減少以彌補成本的上漲，但是來店里吃飯的多是熟客，他很快又斷了這個念想。　　盡管餐館的生意一直不錯，但不斷上漲的CPI還是讓老邱感受到生存的壓力，夫妻倆只能想盡辦法在點點滴滴中節約成本。就在幾個月前，老邱又辭掉了兩個服務員，這樣每個月能省下幾千元的支出。為了增加人氣，老邱這兩天又推出了驢肉火鍋，希望招攬更多的顧客。　　3 一直到下午2時，客人們陸續離開，忙碌了大半天的老邱終於可以停下來鬆口氣。　　半小時後，老邱開著麵包車，載著我到蕭山新農都市場採購食材。辣椒醬很快選好了，和去年相比，一箱只是略微漲了幾塊錢。精挑細選走了一大圈後，終於在安徽老鄉店里，老邱選到了質優價廉的粉絲。店主告訴老邱，因為今年天氣好，粉絲的價格與去年持平，還是3元一斤，這也讓老邱很是開心，於是一次性買了150斤粉絲和200斤米粉，裝滿了麵包車的後座，這基本足夠3家店半個月的用量。　　下午5時，回到餐館的老邱又接著忙碌起來。因為餐館對面的新塘小區這兩天已經開始驗收了，再過一段時間，會有2萬人入住這裡。老邱覺得餐館的生意也會因為人流量的大量增加更加紅火起來。忙碌的間隙，他不時地仍在琢磨把這間餐館重新改造一下：把現在的包間改成知味觀似的敞開式廚房加外賣部；原來的後廚改成兩個包間，全部做成徽派風格；大廳里再增加7個小桌，以備接待更多的客人。　　夜晚的杭城，溫度重新降到零攝氏度以下，不時有裹緊大衣的行人步履匆匆地走過。餐館里燉著驢肉的大鍋里升騰著熱氣，撲鼻的肉香再次瀰漫開來。閑下來的老邱坐在收銀台擺弄著他的平板電腦，有朋友給他下載了微信，但操作起來還不太熟練。老邱說，昨天有吃飯的客人向他提起新上線的APP程序可以優先點菜，對這些玩意並不熟悉的他好奇又專注地聽了半天，心裡一直盤算著自己的餐館啥時候也能搭上這趟順風車。　　送走店里最後一撥吃飯的客人，已經是晚上10時了，連續工作了十幾個小時的老邱夫婦已經疲憊不堪，不過每天餐館打烊，數錢是夫妻倆最開心的時候。　　老邱又在賬本上記下了今天的營業額：一共是4810元。老邱說，雖然錢沒有以前多了，勞動強度比以前也大了不少，夫妻倆還算比較滿足。夫妻倆說，希望物價不要漲那麼快，希望能在來年再開出幾家新店，希望越來越多的人對他們的餐館拍手稱讚，這才是他們最大的心願。自存倉

李靜瑕 孫紅娟2013年的最後一天，mini storage央行、銀監會將監管政策落腳到了信貸資產證券化的風險自留管理上。12月31日，央行、銀監會聯合下發《關於規範信貸資產證券化發起機構風險自留比例的文件》（下稱“21號文”），明確規定了信貸資產證券化風險自留比例不得低於單只產品發行規模的5%，同時自留最低檔次的比例也不得低於最低檔次發行規模的5%。該規定自發佈之日起實施。所謂風險自留，是為了防範道德風險，在證券化中，要求發起人、證券化機構自留一部分資產化風險，將發起人、證券化機構和投資者的利益綑綁在一起。2012年，信貸資產證券化再次�航以來，“常態化”擴容正在加速推進，新一輪試點4000億元的規模，已經在2013年有所釋放。“風險自留比例的進一步確定，證明瞭監管層希望能夠從風險控制的角度做好範圍管理，也能夠為信貸資產證券化‘常態化’擴容提供風險基準。”一位券商分析人士對本報分析稱，這在一定程度上為2014年信貸資產證券化的發展釋放出了擴容的樂觀信號。風險自留“定調”5%“21號文”確定5%的風險自留模式，具體包含：持有由其發起資產證券化產品的一定比例，該比例不得低於該單證券化產品全部發行規模的5%；持有最低檔次資產支持證券的比例不得低於該檔次資產支持證券發行規模的5%。關於風險自留，2012年5月17日，三部委發佈的《關於進一步擴大信貸資產證券化試點有關事項的通知》（下稱《通知》）就要求發起機構持有由其發起的每一單資產證券化中的最低檔次資產支持證券的一定比例，該比例原則上不得低於每一單全部資產支持證券發行規模的5%。“新的規定在於最低檔次資產支持證券的比例除了不低於所有發行規模的5%之外，還增加了最低檔次資產的5%，這可以控制資產支持證券最低檔次對外發行的規模，從而控制風險。”上述券商分析人士分析稱。一位外資銀行分析師對本報記者稱：“發行主體自留比例主要是為了防止發行主體的道德風險，這是以美國為戒，而且中國的資產證券化主要是為了盤活存量，而非轉移風險。”該分析師認為，中國當前用于證券化的基礎資產質量非常好，因此厚度比較低，這也是為何監管機構在自留比例制度設計中考慮了如果最低檔自留總額不足的情況。據該分析師介紹，當前中國的信貸資產證券化中最低檔證券厚度基本上在10%左右。如果按照最低檔的5%風險自留，不會滿足到單一產品總體發行規模5%的風險自留規定。因此，“21號文”還規定，若持有除最低檔次之外的資產支持證券，各檔次證券均應持有，且應以占各檔次證券發行規模的相同比例持有。“21號文”還要求，前期試點過程中已經發佈的信貸資產證券化有關政策規定中的具體條款有與本公告不一致的，在擴大試點階段按本公告有關規定執行。此前《通知》則要求，《通知》施行前，已經發行的資產支持證券不受此規定的限制。這意味著，新的風險自留規定將擴大到存量部分。自留方式靈活確定“可以說‘21號文’除了關注最低檔次風險自留不足的情況外，最大的特點還在於提出了發起機構可以靈活確定風險自留的具體方式。”上述券商分析人士表示。“21號文”指出，信貸資產證券化發起機構可按照上述要求，根據實際情況靈活確定風迷你倉自留的具體方式。“該條款對傳統意義上的自留模式進行了變更，使得風險與基礎資產質量自留規模更好配比。”上述分析師對本報記者表示。根據國際經驗，信貸資產證券化風險自留方式有四種：首先是隨機性自留，即發起人在基礎資產中隨機選擇一些資產作為樣本並承擔該樣本未能產生預期收益的風險；其次是水平型自留，指一定比例的次級檔證券被保留；第三是垂直型自留，每一檔資產支持證券中均有一定比例的證券被自留，因而自留主體的利益與投資者的利益基本一致；第四是L型的自留，自留主體水平自留較高比例的次級檔證券且垂直自留較低比例的高檔證券。前三種風險自留方式或多或少會存在一些副作用，此前中國的信貸資產證券化中，以水平型自留為主，而根據“21號文”的規定更偏向于L型。此前也有專家曾建議，中國的資產證券化風險自留可以考慮L型。“相關部門將繼續深入研究資產證券化風險自留豁免條件，以及商業銀行持有最低檔次資產支持證券的風險權重等問題，不斷完善信貸資產證券化發起機構風險自留制度。”“21號文”還指出。風險自留豁免是指在特定條件下可完全或部分豁免風險留存要求。在美國，被美國證券交易法列為可豁免風險留存的資產主要包括具有聯邦政府或是政府機構提供擔保的住房抵押貸款或其他資產、商業貸款、商業不動產抵押貸款、汽車貸款、學生貸款等。中債資信援引相關統計數據顯示，目前美國市場僅有不到1%的汽車貸款、不足20%的商業貸款能夠滿足豁免要求。“總體而言，中國的信貸資產質量要高于美國，因此研究並執行某些豁免條件對發行機構而言是非常重要的，而且也更能有效地平衡當前中國信貸資產證券化次級檔債券厚度與風險偏離程度過高的現狀。”一位評級機構分析師對本報記者表示。“常態化”審慎前行“因為同業業務和非標產品將逐漸被禁止，現在銀行已經把逐利點轉向信貸資產證券化，最近一直在幫銀行做這方面的培訓。”一位已經為多家銀行進行相關項目培訓的銀行從業人員對本報記者表示。信貸資產證券化常態化擴容也是業界不斷呼籲的方向，一方面可以“盤活存量”，另外一方面也可以緩解銀行的資本壓力，調節信貸結構，騰出信貸空間支持實體經濟。銀監會創新監管協作部主任王岩岫曾表示，新一輪信貸資產證券化擴容的規模在4000億元左右，發行機構從大銀行會擴展到大中銀行還包括一些農村金融機構，騰出來的規模將支持“三農”、支持小微、支持棚戶區改造、支持西部開發。2013年以來，新一輪信貸資產證券化試點中，國開行、民生銀行、北京銀行已經陸續發行或者公佈了相關信息。“這個市場規模與中國整個市場資產證券化需求相比，仍然比較保守，尤其是一些政策性銀行和上市銀行對證券化的需求非常大，而且早就已經部署了相關團隊專門在做分析和研究，現在央行和銀監會信息明確，相信2014年6月底會有一輪資產證券化產品發行潮。”上述分析人士對本報記者表示。不過，上述券商機構人士表示，信貸資產證券化難以短期內全部放開，一放開就會做得很複雜，“常態化”需要審慎前行。“‘21號文’對風險自留比例的明確，也是在於加強風險控制，現在銀行也面臨去杠杆等問題，因此信貸資產證券化在常態化的過程中也要在風險之間找到平衡點。”文件倉

Source: The Santa Fe New MexicanJan.儲存倉 01--At least three veterans of the wartime Manhattan Project, including a former director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, were among notable Santa Feans who died in 2013.The list also includes religious leaders (a prominent rabbi, a Christian Brother and a woman known as the "spiritual mother of Santa Fe"), a former governor, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, and many prominent artists and business leaders.Here, we celebrate the lives of some who made an impact on our community.Harold Agnew, 92, scientist, Sept. 29Harold Agnew, former director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, came to Los Alamos as a graduate student during the Manhattan Project, the wartime program that led to the creation of the world's first atomic bomb. He was present at Enrico Fermi's first neutron chain reaction at the University of Chicago in 1942 and at the Trinity Test in New Mexico. He also flew on observation planes over Japan in 1945, during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.After the war, Agnew completed his doctorate under Fermi in Chicago in 1949 and returned to Los Alamos to work on weapons development. He became the laboratory's Weapons Division leader from 1964 to 1970.From 1970 to 1979, he served as the third director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, succeeding Robert Oppenheimer and Norris Bradbury.Under Agnew's leadership, LANL developed an underground nuclear test containment program, completed the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility, acquired the first Cray supercomputer and trained the first ever class of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors.Following his career at Los Alamos, Agnew served as a science adviser to the White House from 1982 to 1989.Joe Alvarez, 85, business owner, July 31Ynacio "Joe" Alvarez, who came to Santa Fe to sell watermelons in the 1950s, operated Rachel's Corner, a produce and ristra stand at the corner of West Alameda Street and St. Francis Drive.In July 1955, Alvarez delivered a load of watermelons to Paul's Grocery Store on College Avenue, now Old Santa Fe Trail, where he met Rachel Espinosa, who was then a student at Loretto Academy. She caught his eye when she held the door open for him. He immediately moved to Santa Fe from Texas to be near her.The couple operated produce stands out of trucks in Santa Fe, Pojoaque and Espanola before opening a permanent stand on Guadalupe Street. In the early 1970s, they bought the tract at the northeast corner of West Alameda Street and St. Francis Drive, where they established Rachel's Corner, where all the family worked.Rachel Alvarez's brother, Marty Espinosa, said, "He used to sit and talk and have customers from all over the United States, including movie stars and celebrities and politicians. All kinds of people would stop at the stand and chat with him for hours and buy stuff from him. He was one of those memorable people that once you knew him, he was like an old friend that you've known for years. He was a character."Steve Armenta, 73, Christian Brother, July 13Steve Armenta, a longtime teacher at St. Michael's High School, was a champion of the poor who "didn't squander his time on Earth," according to his brother, Ray Armenta.A native Santa Fean, Steve Armenta was 14 when he joined the Christian Brothers of St. John Baptist de La Salle, finishing his high school education in New Orleans. He received a teaching degree from what was then St. Michael's College, which later became the College of Santa Fe and then the Santa Fe University of Art and Design.After receiving his degree, Steve Armenta moved back to Louisiana and taught at Archbishop Rummel High School in New Orleans -- where he is listed as a founding teacher -- before leaving for Central America in the late 1960s. Until 1994, he worked with orphans in various countries, including Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. His brother said Steve Armenta was such a vocal opponent of the government in Guatemala that an assassin was sent to kill him. The person who took his place in Guatemala was killed instead.Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Steve Armenta worked in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Honduras.When his mother fell ill in 1994, he returned to Santa Fe and worked at St. Michael's High School. After he retired from teaching, while still caring for his father, Armenta worked at Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society and taught Bible study.Cindy Bellinger, 62, journalist, April 4Fiercely independent and unafraid to try new things, the longtime Pecos journalist packed her 62 years with adventures as a horse wrangler, ballet teacher, dog musher, woodcutter, baker, designer, editor and poet."She didn't want to have regrets. If something interested, her she went for it," said Frances Kean, Bellinger's friend since 1978. "She didn't live her life on the surface."After she was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma on her arm, Bellinger chronicled her journey in a funny, poignant and insightful blog up until a few days before her death. At some point, when the cancer robbed her of her ability to type, she dictated, while friends typed her posts.Her books are packed with her sense of humor. She wrote about her foray into homebuilding in her book Someone Stole My Outhouse (2001). Her cabin was heated only by a wood stove, which provided plenty of material for her 2011 book Into the Heat: My Love Affair with Trees, Fire, Saws and Men.The year-round garden she cultivated at the cabin fed the book she wrote for High Country Gardens on Waterwise Garden Care. She became fascinated with sheep and wool and launched a magazine, The Woolly Times."I always called her a renaissance frontier woman," Kean said.The publications Bellinger wrote for spoke to her diverse interests: American Hunter, New Mexico Magazine, Orion Nature Review and Ceramics Monthly were among more than a dozen magazines that carried her work.When she was diagnosed with cancer, her posts explored the challenges of dealing with the health care system and the sudden, inexorable changes in her life. In one of her last posts, Bellinger noted she had few regrets. But she didn't expect to succumb to cancer. "I always thought a tree would fall on me or I'd get eaten by a cougar," she wrote.Zenas 'Slim' Boone, 94, explosives expert, Aug. 13Zenas "Slim" Boone came to Los Alamos as a GI in June 1945, just as the Manhattan Project was preparing to test the world's first atomic bomb.At the outbreak of World War II, at age 24, he joined the Army. At first, he worked for the U.S. Special Police, escorting troops to their assignments. Then he was assigned with 59 other soldiers to the Special Engineering District and was sent to the top-secret Manhattan Project in Los Alamos.He had been recruited because of his previous experience with explosives. "I wasn't afraid of working with those materials," he said in A.J. Melnick's book, They Changed the World: People of the Manhattan Project (Sunstone Press, 2006).New Mexico was a shock. "I couldn't believe Santa Fe was the capital of the state," he said in Melnick's book. "We had county seats back East bigger than Santa Fe."But Los Alamos seemed to grow on him. He recalled that to make some extra money, he would collect tickets at dances, and people attending often would slip him a sip of their liquor. "I think they felt sorry for me," he said. "I had a pretty good time before the dance."When he was released from the Army in 1947, Boone joined the lab as a civilian explosives technician. After retiring in 1977, he was a Red Cross swimming instructor in Los Alamos for 17 years.Patricia Buffler, 75, epidemiologist, Sept. 26Patricia Buffler, an internationally known childhood-cancer expert who lived part-time in Santa Fe, was a former dean at Berkeley's School of Public Health. At the time of her death, she held the Kenneth and Marjorie Kaiser Chair in Cancer Epidemiology and was leading several large research programs related to childhood leukemia and other childhood cancers.Buffler launched the California Childhood Leukemia Study in 1995 to investigate the relationship between diet, genes, infections and environmental exposures and the development of the often-fatal blood cancer. Buffler also was the principal investigator of the Center for Integrative Research on Childhood Leukemia and the Environment, funded in 2010 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Over the years, her studies found that attending day care had a protective effect and that diagnostic X-rays increased the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common childhood cancer.David Cargo, 84, former governor, July 5David F. Cargo, governor of New Mexico from January 1967 through 1970, was a moderate Republican and often at odds with members of his own party.He got his nickname, "Lonesome Dave," from a sheepherder he met one day in 1966 along a muddy, rural road when he was touring the state in his 1959 Chevrolet. A newspaperman who was with Cargo wrote about the encounter, and the nickname stuck."He was so underestimated, so under-appreciated and so forward-thinking," said Albuquerque City Councilor Janice Arnold-Jones, a former legislator who knew Cargo for more than 45 years.After earning his law degree at the University of Michigan, Cargo moved to Albuquerque in the mid-1950s. He was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1962 and served two terms.Dennis Domrzalski wrote that in the Legislature, Cargo "railed loudly and publicly against corruption in a state that seemed to think that corruption was perfectly normal. He introduced bills that demanded that state legislators actually report the bribes they had taken. He threatened to pave state roads with corrupt highway commissioners."Cargo was elected governor in 1966 and again in 1968, defeating Democrat Fabian Chavez, who also died in 2013.Cargo was a man of contradictions. He was a Republican who bragged about his ties to labor unions and civil rights groups. He was an Anglo from the Midwest who seemed most comfortable with the people of rural Hispanic communities. He was a reformer who fought the old patronage system, and yet he built alliances with old-time Northern New Mexico political bosses like Emilio Naranjo and Tiny Martinez. He was a great believer in the American political system, yet he was known for his witty irreverence toward that system and the politicians who inhabit it.Cargo created the state Human Rights Commission, started the first state film office and even appeared in a few movies himself, including a role as a reporter in the 1969 Robert Mitchum western The Good Guys and the Bad Guys.His years as governor came during the political turmoil of the late 1960s. He was chief executive in June 1967 when land-grant activist Reies Lopez Tijerina and the Alianza Federal de Mercedes raided the Tierra Amarilla courthouse. He was governor in May 1970 when the National Guard was called to The University of New Mexico and soldiers began bayoneting student protesters, journalists and passers-by during a Vietnam War demonstration.He ran for the Senate in 1970 and again in 1972, when his opponent was Pete Domenici, who won the general election. Not long after that race, the former governor moved with his family to Oregon, where he stayed until the mid-1980s. Cargo attempted a political comeback, running for state treasurer in Oregon. And the political bug continued to bite him when he returned to New Mexico. He lost a congressional race to Democrat Bill Richardson in 1986. Martin Chavez beat him in the Albuquerque mayoral race in 1992, and Gary Johnson defeated him in the GOP gubernatorial primary in 1994 before later winning that year's general election.Cargo remained a renegade Republican even in later years. In 2004, on the eve of the Republican National Convention, he helped launch a group of moderate Republicans called "Back to the Mainstream," which purchased a full-page ad in The New York Times urging the GOP to go back toward the center. "The Republicans have gone far enough to the right, they're going to fall off the cliff," Cargo told The New Mexican.Mary Lou Cook, 95, artist, minister, peace activist, Oct. 7Interviewed on her 95th birthday at the Beehive retirement home, where she had been living for four years, Mary Lou Cook said, "My advice is to be kind, be kind, be kind. Everyone has a choice as to what their attention is going to be, and I chose peace, harmony and helping people."Born in an elevator at a Chicago hospital on April 29, 1918, Cook earned a degree in fine art from the University of Kansas in 1939. Her husband's job meant the couple and their children moved often -- El Paso; Tulsa, Okla.; Kansas City, Mo.; Milwaukee and Des Moines, Iowa.She started doing volunteer work in El Paso and Kansas City, where she studied calligraphy. In Milwaukee, Cook helped to start an arts program for children. In Des Moines, she was a recruiter for the newly formed Peace Corps in 1962. In 1966, she was sent to Omaha, Neb., to organize a Peace Corps office there.In 1969, after her husband retired, the family moved to Santa Fe, and Cook threw herself into creative pursuits. She began to teach a continuing education class at the College of Santa Fe in calligraphy and "pastecraft" -- covering solid objects, like bottles, books or even trees, with decorative fabric.Cook helped found the Dispensable Church with the late Hugh Prather (author of Notes to Myself) in the early 1980s, and a few years later became a minister and bishop in the Eternal Life Church, a network of independent ministers through which she married dozens of couples.In 1984, she founded the Santa Fe Living Treasures program, modeled on Japanese traditions of honoring local elders each year, and lobbied unsuccessfully for state and federal departments of peace.Linda Cordell, 69, archaeologist, March 31Linda S. Cordell taught archaeology at The University of New Mexico, the California Academy of Sciences and the University of Colorado at Boulder, wrote two dozen books on Southwestern archaeology, mentored hundreds of students and had been a senior scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe since 2006.Cordell served as external faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, was elected to the 2008 class of Fellows of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences and won the highest honor in Southwestern and Meso-American archaeology, the Kidder Award -- named for pioneering archaeologist Alfred V. Kidder (1885-1963), who excavated the ruins at Pecos Pueblo.Cordell's books on Southwestern archaeology included the college textbook Prehistory of the Southwest, 2007's New Perspectives on Pottery Mound Pueblo with Polly Schaafsma and Archaeology of the Southwest with Maxine E. McBrinn.Fabian Chavez, 88, politician, Jan. 21Fabian Chavez Jr., a well-known member of a Northern New Mexico family and a longtime Democratic Party politician, had a "contagious" enthusiasm for life and "a deep affection for New Mexico," said his biographer, David Roybal of Cundiyo, adding, "We can never have too many people like Fabian."Chavez attended St. Francis Parochial School, where, he would later recall, he got special attention from the nuns despite mediocre grades and occasional truancy."I was a free spirit," he told Roybal in his 2008 biography, Taking on Giants: Fabian Chavez Jr. and New Mexico Politics. "I was curious. Instead of going to school, I'd go around town. But I'd usually spend my time productively, even if it was just collecting cardboard boxes."Chavez worked as a tour guide and as a dispatcher for the local cab company, where he learned about Santa Fe's brothels and bootleggers. When his father took a job as a building superintendent at the old New Mexico Capitol, now the Bataan Memorial Building, he found work there shining the shoes of legislators and lobbyists.At age 12, Chavez hitchhiked on his own to California. Upon reaching Pomona, Calif., he slept in a park and on the seats of unlocked cars before being taken in by a local priest. Chavez picked produce at a farm until he had enough of the West Coast and enough money to catch a bus back to New Mexico.Although Chavez insisted his adventure wasn't meant as a rebellion against his parents, his father worried his son's independence might lead to something bad, so he had the Santa Fe district attorney commit him to the New Mexico Industrial School for Boys at Springer. "I had to adjust to the discipline, no doubt about it," Chavez said.Almost a year before the United States entered World War II, Chavez, 16, and seven friends lied about their ages and signed each others' parental-consent forms to enlist in the Army. He eventually headed for Europe with the 153rd Field Artillery Battalion as forward observer in the Battle of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge.Upon his return to New Mexico, Chavez, who had not yet finished the 10th grade, got his GED certificate through New Mexico Highlands University. He signed up for classes at St. Michael's College in Santa Fe, sold shoes at local department stores and, at 22, got himself elected as president of the Young Democrats of Santa Fe County and chairman of one of the city's major political precincts.In 1948, the 24-year-old Chavez made his first run at elected office in the Democratic primary for the House of Representatives and came in second. Two years later, he ran again for the same position. This time, he won both the primary and the general election.In 1952, Chavez challenged the incumbent Republican in the state Senate race. He had no opposition in the primary, but lost in the general election. Four years later, the Republican resigned, so Chavez again took a shot at the Senate seat. He ran against six other hopefuls in the Democratic primary, winning by 22 votes, and went on to win the general election. He was re-elected several times by his mid-30s, becoming the youngest Senate majority leader in state history.In 1964, Chavez declined to seek another term in the Senate, setting his sights instead on the U.S. House of Representatives, but lost the primary to Johnny Walker. In 1968, he took aim at the Governor's Office, winning the primary but losing the general election to Republican David Cargo. In 1970, he ran again for the U.S. House of Representatives, winning the primary, but losing the general election to Republican Manuel Lujan Jr.Chavez laid low after that string of defeats, taking a position as the state insurance director. After Jimmy Carter won the presidency in 1976, he appointed Chavez as an assistant secretary of the U.S. Commerce Department, specializing in promoting tourism.Chavez's last try at public office came in 1982, when he ran for governor of New Mexico in a crowded primary field of Democrats. The winner, former Attorney General Toney Anaya, went on to win the general election. Chavez worked as a consultant to Anaya and served on the board of the Public Employees Retirement Association.Two of his brothers, priest-historian Fray Angelico Chavez, for whom the state history library in downtown Santa Fe is named, and longtime Santa Fe municipal judge R.E. "Cuate" Chavez, died before him.Angelina Delgado, 94, tinsmith, Nov. 10Angelina Delgado came from a family of tinsmiths, and in the 1930s, she participated in the Works Progress Administration program with her grandfather, Francisco "Quico" Delgado. The program, created under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, served to boost the economy during the Great Depression.In 2008, Roosevelt's granddaughter, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, presented Angelina Delgado with an honor from the National New Deal Preservation Association for her work in the 1930s federal program.In the 1980s, Delgado was invited to give demonstrations of her work at that Lord & Taylor department stores, which were selling her work. She also was a first-grade teacher for a number years at the now-defunct Guadalupe Elementary School.In 2007, she was honored by the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She received the Governor's Award for Excellence and Achievement, and she was awarded with the Lifetime Master Award from the Spanish Colonial Arts Society.John Dendahl, 75, GOP Party chairman, Nov. 9Former state Republican Party chairman and one-time GOP gubernatorial candidate John Dendahl was born in Santa Fe and earned degrees in electrical engineering and business administration at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He was a member of the college's ski team, which won two NCCA titles and was on the 1960 U.S. Olympic Ski team. He was inducted into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame.In Santa Fe, Dendahl worked as an engineer for the Eberline Instrument Corp. in the 1960s and later became CEO of the company, which made radiation-monitoring instruments.During an absence from Eberline in the mid-'60s, Dendahl served as chief financial officer for the new St. John's College. In the mid-1980s, he was president of the First National Bank of Santa Fe.Republican Gov. Garrey Carruthers appointed Dendahl to the State Investment Council. Later, Carruthers hired him as secretary of the state Economic Development and Tourism Department.Dendahl ran for governor in 1994 but lost to political newcomer Gary Johnson, who went on to win the general election that year. That same year, Dendahl was elected as state Republican Party chairman, a position he held until 2003.During his years as party chairman, Dendahl saw himself as fearsome partisan attack dog who delighted in tearing into Democrats."He knew how to insult without being offensive," said former state Democratic Party chairman Earl Potter. "He could make people mad, but on a personal level, he was extremely gracious."Toward the end of Johnson's administration, Dendahl publicly agreed with the governor's position that the drug war had been a failure and that marijuana should be legalized. This angered many members of his party, including the then-powerful U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, who initially called for Dendahl's resignation.Though Dendahl lost his final bid for the party chairmanship in 2003, three years later he became the GOP's candidate for governor against incumbent Bill Richardson. He lost in a landslide and later moved to Colorado with his wife.Gloria Donadello, 87, activist, March 14Local activist, academic and opera supporter Gloria Donadello spent time as a professor of social work at both Florida State and Fordham universities. She eventually migrated to Santa Fe in 1991 with her late partner, Sarah Barber.Donadello founded a number of charities and advocacy groups for the LGBTQ community in Santa Fe, such as the Lesbian and Gay Community Funding Partnership, now known as the Santa Fe Community Foundation's Envision Fund, and Hope House, a hospice for those with HIV.Donadello also played a role in the founding of SAGE, or Services & Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders (formerly Senior Action in a Gay Environment.)Honey Ward, a friend and caretaker of Donadello, said Donadello was always ready to crack a joke or talk to others despite her health issues. "She had that kind of energy to her that strangers would come and up introduce themselves," Ward said. "She was always ready for a good time, and she didn't want to leave until the party was over."Donadello also had an abiding love for Buddhism and until the end of her life went to the Upaya Zen Center every Wednesday.Gail Factor, 70, artist, July 16The artist Gail Factor painted abstract landscapes, many of them depicting the faraway horizon, planes of earth and sky separated by color and rendered in sweeping brushstrokes that extend across the canvas.She studied painting at the Chicago Art Institute when she was just 5 years old and went on to get a BFA from the University of Southern California, complete a fellowship in fine arts at Yale University and study art and architecture in Europe. She first came to Santa Fe in 1989, partly for workshops at the Santa Fe Art Institute, and relocated here permanently in the early '90s.Factor was active in the Church of the Holy Faith, where she loved singing in the choir. She also enjoyed gardening (both flowers and vegetables) and was part of a garden club here in Santa Fe. She was a board member of Canticum Novum, a local choral and instrumental ensemble, and was a supporter of Cornerstones Community Partnerships, a nonprofit that works to restore historic adobe buildings across the American West.Kelly Garrett, 69, singer, Aug. 7Kelly Garrett grew up in Santa Fe singing at church, at school and around her family home on Acequia Madre, before going on to a career as a vocalist on Broadway, television and records.She attended St. Francis Cathedral School and the Loretto Academy, then went on to the College Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati for a year before heading to Los Angeles, where she worked for a bank during the day so she could sing in clubs at night.Fame came quickly. In 1964 and '65, Garrett appeared four times on the nationally syndicated television musical-variety program, Shindig. That was followed by appearances on Your Hit Parade, Headliners with David Frost, The Jim Nabors Show, The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, The Joey Bishop Show, Playboy After Dark and 29 turns on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.Among the songs Garrett recorded were "Baby It Hurts," " Tommy Makes Girls Cry," " Leavin' on My Mind," "Love's the Only Answer," " Nothing Left to Give," "You Step into My World" and "As Far as We Can Go."In the 1970s, Garrett moved to New York to try her talents on Broadway. She won critical acclaim for her musical performances in Mother Earth (1972) and The Night That Made America Famous (1975), and she earned a Tony Award nomination for the latter.Although she never made a feature film, Garrett sang an Oscar-nominated song, "Richard's Window" from The Other Side of the Mountain, at the 1976 Academy Awards ceremony.She often returned to New Mexico to see old friends and played Sally Bowles in a production of the musical Cabaret at the Greer Garson Theatre Center.Dan Gerrity, 59, KSFR news director, Nov. 20Theater artist and KSFR news director Dan Gerrity was a New Jersey native who worked as a writer, director and actor in theater on the East and West Coasts before settling in Santa Fe.He served as a member of the Santa Fe Playhouse board of directors and oversaw the theater's popular Benchwarmers series of one-act plays.Among other Santa Fe credits, he appeared in the Santa Fe Stages production of Death and the Maiden in 2000, Ironweed Productions' version of Our Town in 2012 and the Lensic Performing Arts Center's The Laramie Project in 2010.He also played roles in a number of television and film projects over the years, including Swing Vote and Wildfire (both films shot in New Mexico) and the television series Frasier.Gerrity and Jeremy Lawrence co-authored the play Melody Jones: A Striptease in Two Acts, in the early 1990s.Fidel Gutierrez, 51, banker, Nov. 3Fidel Lee Gutierrez worked for the Los Alamos National Bank for 26 years, becoming senior vice president. He volunteered with the Santa Fe Children's Museum, First Tee of New Mexico, Lensic Performing Arts Center, Life Center Foundation, the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market and the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.Billie Blair, a former president of the Santa Fe Community Foundation who knew Gutierrez through his community service activities, said, "He was one of the most civic-minded, caring people in Santa Fe."Whenever you went to Fidel and asked the bank to give to something that would benefit our children, he always said yes," Blair said. "Whenever you asked him to roll up his sleeves and help, he was eager to join hands to build community."Volker De La Harpe, 84, woodcarver, Aug. 25Santa Fe woodcarver, furniture designer and gallery owner Volker de la Harpe had an adventurous life that included crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat, serving in the Korean War and training horses for Japanese Emperor Hirohito.Santa Fe friends remembered him as a charming and gracious host whose dinner guests included Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and famed Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith.De la Harpe was born to a noble family in Estonia in 1929, when the main form of transport in winter was a horse and sleigh, daughter Krista de la Harpe said. He was about 10 years old when World War II broke out and his family moved to Poland and then to Germany. He studied geology at the University of Heidelberg, but before he earned his degree, he and a friend decided to embark on a trip across the Atlantic to the United States in a 30-foot sloop handcrafted by a Russian boat maker. He was 20.Eleven months later, the tiny boat, after losing its mast, was adrift at sea when on July 4, 1949, it was spotted by someone aboard an ocean liner. The sloop's occupants were rescued and taken to New York's Ellis Island, his daughter said.When the story was written up in the The New York Times, he connected with a cousin in Sana Fe, who arranged for him to come here.While still trying to secure U.S. citizenship, de la Harpe was drafted into the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Service under the direction of Gen. Mark Clark, a post in which his knowledge of nine languages was useful. After the war ended, de la Harpe lived in Tokyo for a while, training horses for the emperor, his daughter said.Upon his return to Santa Fe, de la Harpe put his geology background to use as a uranium prospector and flew a small plane all over the Southwest, accompanied by his standard poodle named Victor. When he was not in the air, his daughter said, de la Harpe drove an emerald-green Triumph TR3 convertible.De la Harpe taught himself how to carve wood and became a furniture designer. He opened a gallery on Canyon Road, where his wife also showed her paintings, and the pair, who shared a passion for gardening, made the compound into one of the lushest gardens in town.De la Harpe designed and made the original sign for Canyon Road, his daughter said, using dark walnut with turquoise paint. He also carved the official Seal of New Mexico displayed in the governor's office at the Capitol.Leonard A. Helman, 86, rabbi, June 6The funeral of Leonard Helman, an attorney, judge, bridge master, tap-dancing champion and longtime member of Santa Fe's religious community, was held at Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, an arrangement the rabbi had made years earlier with the cathedral's former rector, the Rev. Monsignor Jerome Martinez y Alire.Gail Rappaport, executive director of Congregation Beit Tikva, of which Helman was the founding rabbi, said this was a testament to Helman's interfaith commitment that "he would just as soon have his Jewish soul honored in the cathedral as in our Jewish sanctuary."After receiving his Master of Hebrew Letters in 1955 and his law degree from Duquesne University in 1970, Helman came Santa Fe in 1974 to be a part-time rabbi at Temple Beth Shalom. When he joined the congregation, it was serving 60 families and meeting in a small building. He was hired as the full-time rabbi in 1986, and by the time he left the congregation in 1991, it had grown to serve more than 300 families.The same year, he 迷你倉最平oined Temple Beth Shalom, Helman joined the New Mexico Public Service Commission, where he served as an attorney and then an administrative law judge until he retired in 1987. He was often spotted on the dance floor at La Fonda.In 1991, Helman left New Mexico to work at congregations in Alabama and Pennsylvania, returning in 1995. When he came back, he helped found Congregation Beit Tikva, a Jewish Reform congregation, at the behest of about 20 former members of Temple Beth Shalom. In 2005, a new synagogue was built at 2230 Old Pecos Trail and dedicated under his leadership.From 1995 to 2010, Helman served as chaplain for the New Mexico Legislature, and was recognized by the state Senate and House of Representatives in 1999. In 2006, Gov. Bill Richardson proclaimed Feb. 3 as "Rabbi Leonard A. Helman Day."Though well-known through his religious and professional work, Helman also gained local fame for his various hobbies. He won the Virginia state chess championship twice, was regularly seen tap dancing or singing at the downtown piano bar Vanessie and was a Gold Life Master bridge player, traveling the world to compete in tournaments. The Leonard A. Helman Bridge Center in the Thomas Business Park, 3827 Thomas Road, was dedicated in 2008, and Helman personally contributed $50,000 toward the facility.Anita Romero Jones, 82, santera, March 11Anita Romero Jones grew up on Houghton Street in the South Capitol neighborhood, and attended Wood Gormley Elementary School and Loretto Academy. In 1949, when she was 18 years old, Romero Jones was crowned Fiesta queen. "The Fiesta meant more to people in those days in terms of religion," she would later recall. "There was a real sense of history and tradition. Everybody knew everybody in town, and we were all friends."On Jan. 1, 1950, she rode on the first New Mexico float in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif. She took the train to Los Angeles, escorted by historian Fray Angelico Chavez, because her parents weren't able to attend. "I had a real tight rein kept on me," she recalled.Growing up, Romero Jones knew Zozobra creator Will Shuster and artist Georgia O'Keeffe, the latter of whom routinely stopped in to order a limeade at the drug store where she worked as a soda jerk. After her marriage, she and her husband lived in California, Florida and Idaho.Only after returning to Santa Fe in the early 1970s, when she was her 40s, did she begin to investigate art. She tried tinsmithing, retablo painting, colcha embroidery and hide painting before she was lured into carving wooden saints.Romero Jones said she first brought home a piece of firewood, probably pinon or cedar, to carve. But her husband knew that would be difficult, so he found her a piece of aspen. Soon, she was turning out versions of St. Francis (patron saint of Santa Fe and animals), St. Agnes (patron saint of children, engaged couples and gardeners), St. Pasqual (patron saint of cooks and kitchens), St. Cayetano (patron saint of gamblers) and her favorite, the Virgin of Guadalupe, that she began exhibiting at Spanish Market in 1974.Santeros, or saint makers, were overwhelmingly men when Romero Jones began, but soon she was accepted as a santera. Her sister, Marie Romero Cash, said she was known for combining tin altar screens with painted and hand-carved figures.Eric LaMalle, 50, restaurateur, April 16Longtime restaurateur and outdoor sports enthusiast Eric LaMalle owned and operated Ristra on Agua Fria Street in downtown Santa Fe for 17 years.LaMalle was born in Saint-Flour, a city in the Auvergne region of south-central France, and raised in Brie Sur Marne, a suburb east of Paris. He trained as an alpine mountain guide and first came to the United States about 20 years ago to work as a ski instructor at Mammoth Mountain resort in California. LaMalle also lived in Arroyo Hondo and worked as an instructor at Taos Ski Valley before coming to Santa Fe.In addition to being a businessman, LaMalle was an accomplished sportsman who traveled to Alaska, Bali and Indonesia, among other places, to pursue interests in skiing, mountain biking, windsurfing and kite boarding.Dimitri Mihalas, 74, astrophysicist, Nov. 21Dimitri Mihalas was a Los Alamos National Laboratory astrophysicist, humble about his mind, who learned to live with depression and bipolar disorder.Mihalas was hired as a staff scientist in the applied physics department in 1998 and retired from the lab in 2012, according to LANL.He earned degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, and California Institute of Technology in astronomy, mathematics and physics and worked for three decades as an astronomy professor at the University of Chicago, the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.He was a pioneer in astrophysics, specializing in radiation transport, radiation hydrodynamics and astrophysical quantitative spectroscopy. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1981.He co-authored seven scientific books, including Foundations of Radiation Hydrodynamics, a highly technical manual considered a bible on the subject among his peers.Mihalas was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder when he was in his 40s, though he thought signs of the conditions dated to his childhood. He wrote about his experiences in essays such as "Surviving Depression and Bipolar Disorder" and "A Primer on Depression and Bipolar Disorder" in 2002. Mihalas, a Quaker, also wrote about how his spirituality was strengthened during his struggles in his 1996 book Depression and Spiritual Growth.Herman Montoya, former mayordomo, 102, July 9Herman Montoya would wake up every morning and say, "God leads, and I follow.""He was an icon in the community -- everyone knew him," said Ruben Montoya, one of his five children.Montoya may have been best known for his role as mayordomo of the nearly 7-mile Acequia Madre. When he first began cleaning the acequia in 1915 when he was about 5, "the water was flowing in the acequia all year round," his son Michael Montoya said.Herman Montoya was born at his family's home on Agua Fria Street and by the age of 10, he was working as a bicycle messenger for Western Union, which had an office in downtown Santa Fe in that period. He attended St. Francis Cathedral School before graduating in the eighth grade, which was the custom at that time.Many people asked him to run for some sort of political office, but he declined, saying, "A politician -- that's something I'm not." In the mid-1930s, Herman Montoya opened the fuel and feed store on Cerrillos Road. The city did not have telephone lines servicing that area, so Montoya would walk over to his office on nearby Hickox Street to use that phone to take orders for coal and wood. In the mid-1990s, the Montoya family relocated the store to its current site on Agua Fria Street.Herman Montoya worked there until 2009, when he was 99 years old.His sons still recall Coca, the white Arabian mare their father rode during rodeo and Fiesta parades, as well as in other public events. "He [Coca] was a dancing horse, and Dad would ride him and make him dance during the parades," Michael Montoya said..Diego Mulligan, 62, radio host, July 21Diego Mulligan, host of the afternoon drive-time radio talk and interview show The Journey Home on KSFR was an avid environmentalist who educated a generation of Santa Feans about climate issues and the human condition.Born in Miami, he grew up in the Bahamas, where he was part of a community of pioneers, resort developers, underwater divers and seafarers.He became involved in commercial radio in 1968 after dropping out of college. Mulligan joined the all-volunteer military in 1973. After completing U.S. Army Aviation College with top honors, he became a Federal Aviation Administration-licensed air-traffic controller, serving at one of Europe's busiest airports. Here, he earned the nickname "Emergency Mulligan," due to "a high number of pilots declaring emergencies during his shift," his biography said.In the mid-1970s, he became involved in the "sustainable community development" movement, working on several projects in Europe and Africa. After moving to Santa Fe, he created the Center for Sustainable Community. He was a co-founder of The Commons on the Alameda and was a consultant for projects including Aldea de Santa Fe and Oshara Village, a 462-acre "sustainable transition town" now under construction in Santa Fe County.He returned to radio in 1993 with the Connections Radio Journal on KVSF. He started his show The Journey Home in 1997.Darragh Nagle, 94, physicist, April 22Darragh E. Nagle, a physicist who worked on the first nuclear reactor in Chicago and on the first nuclear explosion in New Mexico, studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge University in England and Columbia University in New York City, where one of his teachers was the famed Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.In 1942, Nagle, then 23, joined Fermi at the University of Chicago, where weeks earlier the world's first nuclear reaction had been initiated in Chicago Pile-1, a pile of enriched uranium pellets and graphite blocks in an underground rackets court beneath the bleachers of a football field.Later, Nagle was sent to Los Alamos. "We were a little group that did experiments that Fermi wanted done," he said. "These typically involved irradiating some samples in the reactor and then measuring the radioactivity that was produced. But whatever Fermi wanted done, we would do."In preparation for the Trinity Test, his job was to collect soil samples from the crater as soon as possible after the explosion, which involved fitting out a Sherman tank with lead shielding. "One of my jobs was to supervise the placement of the lead shielding," he said. "I was very interested in that because I knew I was going to have to ride in that tank, and the lead shielding was what was going to keep my radioactive dose to something perhaps tolerable."He and two other physicists took turns sticking a spade in the ground through a hole in the floor of the tank. "We didn't allow Fermi to go in," he said. "We couldn't risk him in such a place. We knew that the Sherman tanks have a habit of stalling, and so we wondered what would happen if the tank stalled in the crater, and we knew the answer. I mean, that would have been the end. No way we could have gotten out. Fortunately, none of the runs ended that way."Nagle helped design the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility accelerator, which generates subatomic particles for use in cancer treatment. He was a senior fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and one of the founders of the Santa Fe Institute. After retiring from the lab in the early 1990s, Nagle became involved in gamma ray astronomy.Vicente Ojinaga, 95, Bataan Death March survivor, Sept. 30After World War II ended, Vicente Ojinaga, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, sometimes would tell his children stories about his three and a half years of captivity by the Japanese, "but not in detail," said daughter Teri Gonzales said."He said what kept him alive was faith and prayer and his family, knowing he was going to come back to his family."Born in Santa Rita, a copper-mining town near Silver City, Ojinaga's parents had emigrated from revolution-torn Mexico in 1910. Upon graduation from high school in 1937, Ojinaga worked as a carpenter in the copper mine. As war neared, Ojinaga and his brothers agreed that the first to be drafted would join the military, so the others would not be obligated. But when an older brother received his draft notice, Ojinaga hid it until his own arrived.He was sent to the Philippines, where he became one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers, including 1,800 New Mexicans, who were taken captive by the Japanese when the United States forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.In a prison camp in Japan, Ojinaga and other New Mexican POWs would "get together and talk in Spanish about the matanzas [village barbecues], the burrinates [lamb intestines] and all the other great food that we had back home," he recalled in a 2009 interview. "When we woke up in the morning, we didn't feel as hungry."Upon his release from the prison camp, Ojinaga weighed about 95 pounds -- almost half what he did before the war.Ojinaga enrolled in Western New Mexico University in Silver City, then transferred to The University of New Mexico, where he graduated with a degree in business administration in 1950.In 1956, the Ojinagas used the GI Bill to buy a house on Solana Drive in the then-new Casa Solana subdivision in northwest Santa Fe, located near where a Japanese internment camp had been situated during the war. Ojinaga worked for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, then joined the New Mexico Bureau of Revenue, where he rose to the position of chief of administrative services before retiring in 1978.Manuel Ortiz, 79, Boy Scout leader, May 4Manuel "Manny" Ortiz was one of Santa Fe's most enthusiastic Scout leaders, but he didn't become involved with the Boy Scouts of America until 1999, when he retired from state government.Ortiz's father died early, leaving his mother to raise him and his siblings on West San Francisco Street, and he couldn't afford to be a Boy Scout himself. "I think that's why I love it so passionately and want as many boys to get ahead as possible," he said in an interview published in The New Mexican.Ortiz worked as a loan officer at several banks, and after living in San Antonio, Texas, became an auditor and administrator for the New Mexico Highway Department -- now the Department of Transportation.As a Scout leader, he worked with more than 200 boys and in 2005 was awarded Scouting's highest honor -- the Silver Beaver Award. In 2006, his volunteer work with the Boy Scouts led him to be named as a Santa Fe Living Treasure.Steve Parks, 69, gallery owner, Aug. 31Friends and colleagues remember Steve Parks as a debonair aesthete who was personable, generous and unfailingly supportive of the creative endeavors of everyone who crossed his path."Everything Steve did was with great heart," said Laura Addison, curator of contemporary art at the New Mexico Museum of Art. "He didn't just represent artists, he nurtured them."Parks earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. During his junior year, he landed a role in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera H.M.S. Pinafore. Acting, he told friends later, greatly improved his self-confidence. It was a harbinger of a lifelong devotion to the theater.After college, he joined the Navy and served as a lieutenant aboard a ship that engaged in combat during the Vietnam War. Following discharge, Parks worked in advertising for Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati and then for Sports Illustrated in New York.His "real life" began when he moved to Taos, where he acted in local theater productions, strung beads for 35 cents a strand and worked as a bartender at the now-defunct La Cocina on the Plaza, where he met the artists, writers, musicians, actors and philosophers who made Taos an arts mecca.In 1980, he founded ARTlines, the first publication to offer serious fine-art criticism in Northern New Mexico. With his second wife, he moved back to New York, where he found some success as an actor in theater and local commercials, but after three years they moved back to Taos.Parks wrote for regional art publications and continued to act and befriend artists. He wrote two books about Taos artists, Jim Wagner: An American Artist (Rancho Milagro Productions, 1993) and R.C. Gorman: A Profile (NY Graphics/Little Brown, 1981).In 1993, he and his wife opened Parks Gallery in Taos. and in 2001 they opened a short-lived second gallery that was first located above the Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe and later on Galisteo Street.The Taos gallery squeaked through the recession. When his friends Trudy and Ed Healy opened Rancho Milagro Gallery, he directed it part-time, and he also began to offer art consultancy services.Gifford Phillips, 94, art collector/political activist, April 17Gifford Phillips, a liberal political activist and avid art collector, lived in Santa Fe part-time since 1968 and full-time since 1990."Art is no longer the exclusive province of mugwumps in New England studios, Bohemian painters in Greenwich Village, professors of English at Ivy League universities, or scions of old families gracing the boards of civic symphonies and art museums," he wrote in a 1966 paper urging President Lyndon Johnson to create the National Endowment for the Arts. "The great American middle of the mid-twentieth century has arrived on the scene in full strength and ready for action."Phillips, son of the heir to the Jones Laughlin Steel Co., was raised in Charford Castle, a residence south of Denver. He attended Stanford University, then transferred to Yale University, where he graduated in 1943. His introduction into art philanthropy began when, heeding the advice of his uncle Duncan Phillips, he donated Paul Cezanne's oil painting Ginger Pot with Pomegranate and Pears to the Phillips Collection in memory of his father.The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. -- the first U.S. museum devoted to modern art -- was started by Duncan Phillips as a memorial to the memory of his brother and father.Gifford Phillips followed his uncle's lead by moving to Los Angeles to found Frontier magazine, a liberal West Coast political monthly, with editor Phil Kerby in 1949. Frontier continued until 1966, when it was merged with The Nation of New York City. Phillips served as associate publisher of that magazine from 1966 to 1970.His involvement with California Democratic politics began when he served as treasurer for Helen Gahagan Douglas' unsuccessful 1948 campaign for the U.S. Senate against Republican Richard Nixon, who infamously branded Douglas as the "Pink Lady."He served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1952, 1960 and 1964, and was an early supporter of presidential aspirants Eugene McCarthy in 1968 and George McGovern in 1972. He was delighted to learn that he had been named to Nixon's "enemies list."Starting in the 1950s, Phillips was a partner in Pardee Phillips, a real estate corporation that built houses and shopping malls in Southern California and Nevada. But art and politics remained at the forefront of his interest.Phillips was the founding chairman of the Contemporary Art Council at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a trustee of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a member of the board of governors of the Yale University Art Museum and a trustee and president of the Pasadena Art Museum, which eventually became the Norton Simon Museum.In 1990, he and his wife moved permanently to Santa Fe, where they had been summer residents and involved in local arts groups since 1968. Gifford Phillips chaired the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and was a trustee of the Wheelwright Museum.Amarante Romero, 92, Agua Fria businessman, Aug. 31Well before chain-operated convenience stores dotted the landscape, Amarante Romero's grocery store and gas station in the village of Agua Fria was a handy place to pick up household staples. Some locals in the leafy community downstream from Santa Fe proper described the business as "Grand Central Station" because it also served as a hub for politics and local chatter.Made of adobes formed by Romero and his brother, Filemon, the family-run store opened in 1948 and stayed in operation until the early 1980s."It was the news center for the village," said Lois Montoya Mee, who grew up a few doors down from the store and used to go there to buy penny candy in paper bags. "[Romero] was very friendly, and he liked to joke a lot with people. When customers were running on hard times, he gave credit to people who couldn't afford to pay for their things."Romero was known as the "mayor of Agua Fria," a sign of reverence for his service to his community.Romero was active in the Democratic Party and spent much of his life as a volunteer in civic affairs, working for 35 years on city and county government panels. He helped establish a clinic, a park, a cemetery and a fire station in Agua Fria, and helped create an ordinance that made it easier for families to transfer plots of land to their children.Romero was involved in drafting the first Santa Fe County land-use development code, part of which tied development to water availability, and helped with formation of the Santa Fe County water system.Dulcinea Serrano, 103, La Fonda housekeeper, July 25Dulcinea Serrano was born in Gallina, N.M., married a sheepherder and gave birth to 10 children.The family moved to Santa Fe in 1947 and built their first home on Lopez Street. For a while, the house was missing a roof and only had adobe sides. "I can remember lying in bed and thinking, I can see the stars," Mary Serrano, Dulcinea Serrano's daughter, said recently.Dulcinea Serrano worked at La Fonda for more than 20 years, as a housekeeper and seamstress."I believe that God and green chile have kept her alive so long," Lisa Serrano, one of many grandchildren, said a week before Dulcinea's death. "My fondest memories of my grandmother are in the kitchen, talking about food and God."Paolo Soleri, 93, architect, April 9Paolo Soleri, who designed what for years was Santa Fe's most popular music venue before moving on to Arizona to build a futuristic community called Arcosanti, was born in Turin, Italy, on the summer solstice. He came to the U.S. in 1947 and spent one and a half years with famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Scottsdale and at Taliesin East in Wisconsin.In 1955, after designing a ceramics plant in Italy and adapting ceramics-making to architecture, Soleri came to Santa Fe to design an amphitheater on the campus of the Santa Fe Indian School using earth-casting. The technique involves pouring concrete into preshaped earthen molds, then excavating away the earth after the concrete hardens. Because of changes in the school, the amphitheater wasn't finished for a decade.Soleri said he was surprised when Lloyd Kiva New, a Cherokee designer who helped found IAIA, named the new structure the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater -- the only thing Soleri has designed in New Mexico and the only one of his structures ever named for him.For at least 50 years, the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater, with good acoustics from its curved surfaces, was Santa Fe's most popular outdoor venue for music. In 2010, the Santa Fe Indian School closed it to public events, citing the expense in repairing it and the effect marijuana-smoking music lovers had on the boarding students.After less than a year in Santa Fe in the mid-1950s, Soleri, his wife and children moved to Arizona, where he bought land for the Cosanti Foundation complex in Scottsdale and began to make sand-cast ceramic and bronze "windbells." He said he considered settling in Santa Fe, but found its winters too cold to work outside year-round.Alfred Collins von Bachmayr, 65, architect, Aug. 11Alfred Collins von Bachmayr, an architect known for his dedication to sustainably built homes using natural materials, was also a triathlete and had kayaked most of the big rivers in the West, including six runs on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.He was a co-founder of Builders Without Borders and founder of the World Hands Project, which built homes in Mexico and Nicaragua. During two years as director of the Earthworks Institute, he supervised a low-cost, sustainable housing project in the Fiji Islands."Alfred was a pioneer in natural building," said architect Paula Baker-LaPorte. "He and Joe McGrath co-invented the straw-clay tumbler, a big, motorized tube with pitchforks in it that saved many hours in mixing the straw-clay material for building houses."Von Bachmayr was project leader on a 2005-06 improvement to the Santo Nino Clinica Guadalupana in Colonia Anapra, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The straw bale additions he designed are used for massage and hydrotherapy treatments for children with neurological disorders.Von Bachmayr graduated from the John Gaw Meem-designed Fountain Valley School, then earned his bachelor's degree in architecture at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1971.He apprenticed with an architectural firm in Aspen and worked on a house there for comedian Steve Martin, then he designed an award-winning passive-solar dormitory at Fountain Valley School.He moved to Santa Fe in the early 1990s and in his later life lived more simply. Two of his most recent projects were the All Creatures Memorial Park on Bishops Lodge Road and the straw bale Seed Bank, a collaboration with Tesuque Pueblo.John Wadleigh, 85, artist and writer, SeptemberJohn Wadleigh wanted one of two obituaries written after his death."One would have said, 'John Wadleigh died,' and that's it. The second would have been a 50-page memorial [accounting for] everything he did," his son Thaddeus Wadleigh said.John Wadleigh, artist, writer, critic and one of the founders of The New Mexican's arts magazine, Pasatiempo, lived in Santa Fe from about 1960 to 1980 and died in Oregon, where he had relocated about 25 years ago."Santa Fe was the ultimate dream for a kid who grew up in Hell's Kitchen," Thaddeus Wadleigh said of his father. "He always wanted to escape [New York City]. He dreamed of the Wild West. That's what New Mexico was to him."Wadleigh was born in a New York City tenement, joined the Army as World War II was coming to a close and later used financing from the GI Bill to attend Columbia University. In the late 1950s, Wadleigh worked as an editorial assistant at The New Yorker before publishing his first novel, The Bitter Passion. ("The taboo affair of an American girl and a native man!" the paperback cover proclaims.) Shortly thereafter, he drove a 1949 Pontiac out to Santa Fe.Wadleigh was a handsome, hard-drinking man who liked to wear a soiled cowboy hat, blue jeans, a cowboy shirt, and a one-concha belt buckle. He drove Jeeps or pickups, and somewhere along the way he bought a World War I ambulance.Sometime in the early 1960s, Wadleigh and fellow writers Oliver LaFarge and Spud Johnson, among others, started the initial Pasatiempo arts magazine. He also painted and sculpted.Wadleigh reportedly wrote 55 novels, of which 13 were published. His pen name was Oliver Lange. His most famous work is 1971's Vandenberg, about a group of middle-aged New Mexican mavericks who decide to resist a Communist takeover of their land. That story bears more than a passing resemblance to the 1984 film Red Dawn, in which teenagers led by Patrick Swayze are the heroes defending their town against Soviet forces.Joe Wood, 89, judge, Sept. 9Joe Wood was in the first graduating class of The University of New Mexico School of Law, and was one of the original members of the New Mexico Court of Appeals."The thing I remember most about him, he had a knack of writing concise appellate decisions and they were well researched and he got them out quickly and his opinions were models for other judges -- short, succinct and supported by the law, and fair," said his longtime friend and former judge Tom Donnelly.Wood graduated from Little Rock High School in Arkansas and joined the U.S. Navy in December 1941 after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Because he was only 17 at the time, he had to get his father's permission to enlist.Wood attended midshipman's school at Notre Dame University, played on the tennis team and, at the war's end, hitchhiked to Albuquerque to enroll in UNM's newly created law school.After graduating in 1950, he moved to Santa Fe to work for the Legislative Council Service, where he wrote a book about New Mexico's community property code. Its publication in 1954 resulted in amendments to the code that "made it fairer," Donnelly said. "The law originally really shortchanged women's rights under community property and, as a result [of the changes], it liberalized community property law on behalf of women."Wood then moved to Farmington to practice law with one of his law school friends. In 1966, he returned to Santa Fe after Gov. Jack Campbell appointed him as one of the first five judges of the state Court of Appeals, which had been created by a state constitutional amendment.He served on the Court of Appeals for 20 years -- half the time as chief judge -- and retired in 1986.Nancy Wood, 76, photographer and writer, March 12Nancy Wood, a photographer and writer who published more than two dozen books, said that when she first visited Taos Pueblo in 1962, "It was 180 degrees from what I knew growing up [back East]. Nature was the center. I began to think in those terms -- here was not just a 'religion' but a whole way of being and seeing."She moved to Colorado in 1958 and then to New Mexico in 1985, settling in the Santa Fe area in the early 1990s.In an interview with Pasatiempo, Wood said in New Jersey, people often were repressed, patriarchal and bigoted and saw nature as an adversary.Wood's first book in 1963 was a volume of photographs with her second husband, Myron Wood, also a photographer, called Central City: A Ballad of the West, followed by eight other nonfiction works with photographs, eight volumes of poetry, five works of adult fiction, five works of children's fiction and one anthology of Pueblo Indian prose, poetry and art.Her most recent book was published last year by UNM Press. The Soledad Connection is the fictional story of Lorenzo Soledad, a Catholic priest in the last years of the 19th century who loses his faith as he bonds with a small group of Indians called the Calabazas.In recent years, he said, she was working on a book, tentatively titled Miss America, about growing up in New Jersey, where her grandfather was a numbers runner for the Irish mafia.George Yates, 74, former Nambe Pueblo official, June 18George Yates, former lieutenant governor of Nambe Pueblo, physicist and president of the Nambe Pueblo Development Corp., is remembered for his commitment to Native American issues and his dedication to his job at Los Alamos National Laboratory.Yates joined the lab in 1965, working in the field testing division as an electronics technician. By the time he retired in 2001, he had several patents and more than 150 research papers to his name.Debbie Reese, Yates' eldest daughter, said she and her father both received their degrees at the same commencement exercises at The University of New Mexico in 1984. "He liked to joke that he or I occasionally needed to fail a class to make sure we graduated at the same time," Reese said.Yates helped found the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, which works to increase the number of American Indian youth involved in science fields. And he worked to develop cameras that monitored high-speed nuclear reactions. In 1994, Yates received the Howard E. Edgerton award from the International Society of Optical Engineering and accepted the award at a conference in San Diego that year.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 The Santa Fe New Mexican (Santa Fe, N.M.)
