  • Santa Fe Grieves

    A tragedy like the car crash that killed four Santa Fe teenagers on June 28 leaves even strangers reeling with grief. But few in our community are strangers to the victims and their families. At SFR, the events of June 28 hit particularly close to home. The sole survivor and driver from the teenagers’ car, Avree Koffman, is the daughter of one of our staff members, Dan Koffman. Several of our contributors also had personal relationships with the victims who did not survive.

  • The Strange Saga of Geronimo's Skull

    It has long been rumored that several Yale students—among them Prescott Bush, father of former President George Herbert Walker Bush and grandfather of former President George W Bush—dug up Geronimo’s remains in 1918 while taking artillery training at Fort Sill.
    The bones were allegedly taken to Yale, where some believe they’re used to this day as ritualistic props by an elite student society called the Order of Skull and Bones.

  • Accused DWI Driver Sparks Teen Anger

    While outpourings of grief and love have punctuated the days since four Santa Fe teenagers were killed in a late-night crash June 28, anger, too, has begun to surface.

    A group of nearly two dozen teenagers piled into Santa Fe Magistrate Judge George Anaya Jr’s courtroom on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 30, only to be disappointed. They missed Scott Owens’ first court appearance by moments.

  • A Thousand Words…

    The Monroe Gallery of Photography presents an allusion to the worth of just one picture, A Thousand Words…. Here, though, there is more than one picture; rather, a vast panoply of American history is available, beginning in 1934—a family peering out of the car they call home, a Beatles pillow fight, Muhammad Ali standing over a prone Sonny Liston, four long-legged beauties lying in the sand, villagers in Vietnam, protesters in China—the list goes on.

Daddy Needs a Drink

After the kids had finished their school-related camping trips, field days and locker cleanups, and once I stopped seeing blue (books) after grading exams, we decided to have what folks are calling a “staycation:” staying in a hotel and playing tourist in your hometown.
Like many families who consider themselves “locals” in a popular tourist destination, we’d been avoiding the areas that attract outsiders.

Zane's World

Robbed of the complacency of geography and the insulating filter of mass media—factors that manage to simultaneously sensationalize death and make it unremarkable—we feel the accident at mile marker 5 not as a headline from elsewhere, but as an inconsolable despair that will be forever contained in the collective consciousness of the community.

The City of Santa Fe’s Planning Commission took the proposed master plan for the Northwest Quadrant, turned it around, pushed it down on its knees and, without the courtesy of a blindfold, shot it in the back of the head. The master plan, despite the gang-style head wound inflicted by the Planning Commission, is not completely dead, but the notion of the City Council overturning such a dramatic rejection by the Planning Commission is almost certainly science fiction.
