The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9 a.m., in the Taos Middle School Auditorium, Taos, N. Mex., Hon. Pete V. Domenici presiding. Present: Senator Domenici. Also present: Letitia Chambers, minority staff director; Tony Arroyos, minority professional staff member; Deborah K. Kilmer, professional staff member; and Theresa M. Forster, fiscal assistant. Senator DomENIcI. May I have your attention, please. The meeting of the Senate Committee on Aging will come to order. The mayor of Taos, Mayor Cantu, wants to be heard first, so we will recognize him and then we will hear from the witnesses. Each of the witnesses will be invited up to make their testimony. Tony Arroyos will be organizing it with you. Mr. Mayor, we are glad to have you. WELCOMING REMARKS BY MAYOR PHILLIP CANTU, JR., TAOS, N. MEX. Mayor CANTU. Thank you, Senator. On behalf of the town of Taos, I want to welcome you all, this nice day. Senator, we are glad to have you here, and I will just make a few remarks so we can continue with the meeting. I remember when many people in the northern part of New Mexico used to say that politicians only came around when it was election time. We are proud of you,. Senator Domenici, and you are one politician that comes to the northern part of New Mexico every year, whether it is election time or not. Senator DOMENICI. Thank you, Mayor. Mayor CANTU. I know that you are one of the few people who has visited our senior citizens in the northern part of New Mexico, in their homes, the plants, the senior citizens' centers, the hospitals, and at their work. Your tour up here is greatly appreciated by all of us, for we know that when we tell you to, you make national laws work better for rural New Mexico and for our people. Just as a way of thanking you for all of us here today, I want to tell everyone what you have done for the elderly during the last few months. (993) 994 Senator Pete.has persuaded the Senate to give the fixed income elderly people a $75 refundable tax credit to help make it easier for senior citizens who are too poor to pay their utilities and their energy bills. He also has supported a lifetime utility rate which will give senior citizens the lowest possible utility rates. I am also pleased to tell you that our Senator was one of those who has pushed hardest for the weatherization program to make the homes of senior citizens warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This is because you do listen to us and care about what happens to all of us in the northern part of the State. We thank you, Senator. We are proud that you have chosen us as one of the three New Mexico sites for these formal hearings of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Welcome home, Senator Domenici. OPENING STATEMENT BY SENATOR PETE V. DOMENICI, PRESIDING Senator DOMENIcI. Thank you very much, Mayor. Now, let me ask: Can you hear in the back? That s going to be tough. We are going to try to talk as loud as we can. The witnesses are going to have to speak very loud, too, because there isn't a public address system that works in this room. So, we'll start. First, let me thank the mayor for being with us and for his very kind and generous welcome. Today is one of three formal hearings that we are holding in New Mexico. Yesterday we had one in Roswell, with five or six counties around Roswell bringing witnesses to tell us about the prob- lems with our programs for the aging, and making suggestions as to how we could make them better. It was a very good day. I think we'll have a similar day, today. I am not going to go into a lot of detail, other than to tell you that next year is the year that we will reauthorize the law called the Older Americans Act. That's the law that creates most of our pro- grams for nutrition. Most of the community center activities here in the north come from that law. Sonme of the transportation comes from that law. What we'll be doing is seeing if next year we have to change it, improve it, or just what must be done to make it work better. ELDERLY BEARING MOST OF BURDEN I do want to thank the mayor for recognizing that one of the most serious problems we have in New Mexico and in our country is the burden of energy costs on our fixed-income senior citizens.

PEEPS You need to Know NEW SHORT FILM CASTING North Country School program Water: Our most precious resource Commentary: Why do women steer clear of engineering? Honey's effects on human evolution excite UNLV anthropologist By Richard Lake LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Apr. 16, 2012 Sometimes, life throws things at you. What you decide to do with them can mean nothing. Or it can mean everything. Like when Alyssa Crittenden was an undergraduate and she took an introduction to evolution class at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Whoa. Blew. Her. Away. "It changed my life," said Crittenden, now an anthropology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas whose most recent study is shaking up the way anthropologists think about the evolution of the human diet. After that first class threw her a curve ball, Crittenden handled it like this: She gave up on being a doctor, she changed her major, she went on to get a doctorate degree, she decided to study the Hazda people in east Africa, and she noticed something kind-of odd living out there in the bush. The Hazda simply love honey. Yes, you're saying right now, of course they love honey. Who doesn't love honey? It's yummy! Well, yes. But. Would you risk your life to get it? These folks do. Which got Crittenden thinking. The wheels churning up in her brain, she began to do some research.

  • 2011'S Women Who Move the Valley
    2011's Women Who Move the Valley Written by Written by Melissa Larsen, Shala Marks, Elizabeth O’Malley, Claire Perkins and Christine Whitton/Photographed by Cassandra Tomei One is the voice of the Valley, filling the local airwaves for more than 20 years. Another is an educator who is helping to transform college-level education with the introduction of Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus. Third is an award-winning designer who is encouraging Valley dwellers to ease stress on themselves and Mother Earth by changing the way they look at homes. Seven other inspiring women round out 2011’s Women Who Move the Valley—all of whom are at the top of their respective fields and making the Valley a better place to be, both in and out of the office. Deborah Bateman Executive Vice President of Specialty Banking and Marketing for National Bank of Arizona A second-generation Valley native, Deborah Bateman began her 40-year banking career as a teller trainee at Valley National Bank. Now at the helm of National Bank of Arizona in Phoenix, Bateman says it was being a teller that influenced her to stay within the banking field. “I can’t say that was what I focused on being but, once I got into the industry, I recognized my ability to serve others and help our community,” says the University of Washington in Seattle graduate. Bateman notes that working in banking requires more than just taking deposits and cashing checks. “You’re put in a position of influence where you can support your community and help others to be financially successful,” she says.

  • James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Archives Finding
    James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Archives Finding Aid Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art University of Oklahoma 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma, 73019-3003 About the James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Arizona attorney James T. Bialac (UA, Law, class of ’59) began collecting Native American art in 1964. Over the next 50 years, he amassed one of the most important private collections of contemporary Native art in the world. His collection contains approximately 2,500 two-dimensional works of art and more than 2,500 three-dimensional works, including katsinam carvings, textiles, pottery, and jewelry. Works from the Native cultures of the Southwest comprise the majority of the collection, but tribal groups from regions across North America are represented, including the Arctic, the Northeast Woodlands, the Southeast, the Plains and into Mexico. Remarkably, the artistic quality of the collection is equaled by its pristine physical condition. Mr. Bialac has been particularly attentive to the care and conservation of the works on paper, ensuring that they have been framed behind ultraviolet glass with archival quality acid-free mats. His conscientious efforts will ensure these fragile works will be preserved for all our future generations. “In meeting OU President David Boren and his wife, Molly, I immediately felt a sense of kindred spirit committed to the advancement of Native America. To my delight, in discussions with the Fred Jones Jr. Museum and the School of Art, this sense of vision – of compassionate exploration and scholarly drive – was reinforced and I knew that my collection had found its home.” – Jim Bialac In 2010 he gifted the collection of 4,100 objects to the University of Oklahoma, where the art is displayed at the Fred Jones Jr.
