Jason Silverman borrowed the money to buy his home from Charter Bank, a decades-old Santa Fe institution. After three refinancings, Silverman, the cinematheque director for the Center for Contemporary Arts, has 14 years left to pay off the mortgage.
Silverman was surprised to learn—not from his longtime bank, but from SFR's blog—that Charter may be forced to shut down come January, following a federal crackdown on undercapitalized institutions.
It'd be a shame, Silverman says: He likes Charter. "Their rates would always be competitive," he says. "It's a loss in that sense."
Naturally, Silverman wants to know what would happen to his mortgage if Charter's assets were sold. The bank has been no help there.
SFR's call to Charter's Chief Financial Officer Russell Cummins was returned by spokeswoman Susan Millspaugh, who offered to send a statement. After SFR left her a message saying the situation demands more than a statement, Millspaugh did not send even the company's boilerplate.
But it appears Silverman and other Charter customers should be fine—as should the approximately 7,000 low- and middle-income homeowners with loans serviced by Charter for the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority.
"People may have to write their checks to a different place," MFA spokeswoman Leann Holt tells SFR. "We've already started moving [some Charter-serviced loans] over to US Bank…It's been a pretty seamless thing."
And customers with checking and savings accounts will be safe, too—deposits under $250,000 are backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
According to bankers and finance experts, if regulators were to force Charter to close, the process would be quick and painless, like a dental extraction under full anesthesia. The feds usually take over a bank after it closes on a Friday; by Monday morning, the bank would be reopened with new signage, following a sale pre-arranged by the feds. (The process of an FDIC takeover was entertainingly described in the March 27 episode of the radio show This American Life.)
Why is Charter at risk? SFR spoke to Charter President Glenn Wertheim about his bank's health earlier this year [Indicators, March 25: "Stress Test"]. He blamed the bank's troubles on its investment in loans for construction that stalled after the real estate market collapsed. "Even though we're seeing an increase in those troubled assets…they're not producing any severe losses," Wertheim told SFR.
But the feds saw a problem. Regulators say a bank is "well-capitalized" when it has enough capital to cover 10 percent of its assets, weighed according to risk. A Nov. 30 article in American Banker says Charter had a so-called risk-based capital ratio of just 1.98 percent as of Sept. 30.
On Nov. 20, the federal Office of Thrift Supervision sent Charter a "cease and desist" order that forbid it from entering any new business ventures and said the bank would have to be liquidated if it couldn't raise capital by January. The Albuquerque Journal and The Santa Fe New Mexican both covered the order in December, but downplayed its significance, blaming the fuss on overzealous regulators.
If OTS officers are overzealous, they're not bragging about it. "We don't comment about enforcement orders or open institutions," OTS spokesman William Ruberry tells SFR in a voice mail. "We don't talk about the dates in that order or what might happen next or anything."
Some are asking what OTS actually does do. The formerly obscure agency was in charge of regulating the division of bailed-out insurance giant AIG that was partially responsible for the financial crisis. A bill working through Congress would replace OTS with a new so-called super-regulator.
Before the crash, Charter opposed rule changes that would have added transparency to its books, according to letters from bank executives to OTS made public by the agency.
According to a "bank tracker" tool hosted by American University that compiles FDIC data, Charter took a $57.7 million loss on assets of $1.25 billion in the last quarter. Few New Mexico banks—and no other Santa Fe-based banks—are faring so poorly.
Taos-based First Community Bank took a $79 million loss last quarter. FCB President Pat Dee tells SFR his bank is adequately capitalized, blaming its and Charter's problems on the economy. "You can say in hindsight we did more residential construction and land development loans than we should have, but three or four years ago, nobody foresaw the problems we're having today," Dee says.

I got 3 for my front yard after reading all the reviews. I like that the stake is metal and screws together. it is important to put the ground stake in first and add to this. within a week I ordered 3 more for other side of garage walkway or in back yard. does not provide huge amount of light but enough to light area underneath so can be used on a path.

I was very excited about the looks of the product but it's poor quality soon became evident. As I was placing the stem into the body of one lamp it snapped off. Then I tried charging the lamp in the sun and the instructions said to turn it on. The on/off switch is a push in switch and we can not tell when it is off and when it is on. I've tried charging it during two full sunny days now (alternating the on/off switch setting by one push) with no results. I will be returning the two I bought.
- Was this a gift?:

These are very low profile but provide great light. I started with two last year and bought two more. Be careful when pushing down into the ground (don't push from top, push from the stake itself), I broke one installing it. The first two were installed last summer and are still there through Hurricane Sandy and several big snow storms - they never faltered. Will buy more this year!

Local Government Profile
Terfens - Austria
Hubert Hussl
Website of the city : www.terfens.at/
Size : 15,22 km² sq km
Population : 2012 - 2,082
Part Of : Tyrol (Austria)
Hazards : Flood, Land Slide
Our changing climate and the increasing dependency on technology are just two out of many factors that will strongly affect all future decisions made by public authorities and cause substantial changes in the risk landscapes around the globe. At the same time, the number of critical infrastructure facilities keeps skyrocketing. This combination leads to increasing social, economic and cultural vulnerabilities of countries and municipalities, their inhabitants and economies. The hazard profile of Terfens is dominated by the following issues:
Surface waters
In order to implement an efficient and cost-effective risk management (consisting of risk mapping, capacity building, measure setting) to prevent damages of urban infrastructure and the local economy as well as to reduce vulnerabilities and losses, Terfens actively participated in the area wide risk assessment project RiMaComm (Community-Based Risk Assessment in the Province of the Tyrol). For this purpose, the Provincial Early Warning and Emergency Management Centre together with the alpS – Centre for Climate Change Adaptation Technologies developed a hands-on method for risk assessment in the public sector that follows the latest scientific findings as well the practical needs of public authorities. The result of this Public-Private-Partnership cooperation is a blend of expert- and community-based approaches that considers multi-hazard risks as well as the principles of local participation and cost efficiency. With the aim of creating a sense of ownership, risk management experts visited Terfens and liaise with a set of municipality members who are often engaged in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) on a voluntary basis and dispose of a breadth of DRR know-how. Local volunteers have expertise in analyzing technical risks like fires, natural-hazard risks such as avalanches or floods and other man-made risks like blackouts or a disruption in fresh-water supply. In a workshop, the volunteers were brought together and drive the process themselves, guaranteeing an optimal participatory action this way. During the three-hour workshop, the participants were asked to contribute not only in their specific field of expertise, but also to think about potential parallel events and cascading effects. The workshop led to a deeper understanding of risk management processes and their relevance for social and economic growth as well as an increasing risk awareness of all participants. Under the supervision of the alpS risk management experts, the group mapped all risks for Terfens and initiated the capacity-building process by establishing a local DRR team. This team is currently working on the implementation of technical and organisational prevention measures as well as increasing the preparedness of Terfens in case of an emergency. Follow-up workshops and meetings are organized to carry out the action plan agreed on, and all the workshops processes and results are captured in and supported by a dynamic knowledge repository, a software tool called ORTIS.

South Fayette eyes more development
More development could be on the way in South Fayette Township. A proposed three-building shopping center at the former Ionics property off of Washington Pike was reviewed by commissioners at the boards March 13 workshop meeting.
Township engineer Michael Benton said the planned shopping center, called The Crossings of South Fayette, would consist of three buildings – the front building would be a bank and/or restaurant, the second building a grocery store and the third building would house multiple tenants.
The board reviewed three conditional use applications for the shopping center – one for each lot as well as preliminary and final site plans for each lot.
Developer Dale Greco of Bridgeville Realty Partners, LLC and Tysen Miller of GAI Consultants presented the plans to commissioners. Miller said the plan is to consolidate the existing properties, including the gas station and former Ionics site. The developers are also talking with McDonald's about a possible connection with the property.
So far, an Aldi food store is confirmed for the property. Christina Morascyzk of Aldi foods explained that the store would offer private label food items as it does in there nearly 50 regional stores. The store would be similar to the Aldi store located in Baldwin Township.
Greco added that folks will "be pleased with the offerings" of the other stores that will be at the new site, although he did not disclose any possible tenants. There will be consistency in the look of each of the buildings in the new shopping center and Greco said the start of construction on the Crossings of South Fayette is contingent on approvals from the township and PennDOT. He said under the "best case scenario," construction could begin as early as this November or as late as next spring.
Final plans for the first phase of Walnut Ridge, a residential development, were also discussed at the meeting. Pat Cooper of Gateway Engineering said the first phase of the development will include 33 of the nearly 90 lots and that the developer would like to break ground on the first phase in May. Walnut Ridge will be a 110-acre development set to be located off of Battle Ridge Road, with homes ranging in price from $400,000 to $450,000.
The township's real estate taxation millage rate was also discussed at the March 13 meeting. Solicitor Jonathan Kamin recommended the board approve a millage rate of 3.48 mills, which he said is nearly revenue neutral. The current millage in South Fayette is 3.84, but has to be adjusted this year due to the county-wide reassessment. Commissioners should be ready to vote on the millage rate at the board's March 27 meeting.
In other business:
• South Fayette's annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held March 23 at the high school. The day starts at 9 a.m. with Breakfast with the Easter Bunny and the hunt will begin at 11 a.m. Children should bring a basket or bag to collect eggs.
• South Fayette's clean-up day will be held April 19, said Township Manager Ryan Eggleston. The township is looking to "beef up interaction with the school" on that day and also is looking at working with businesses on Millers Run Road for the clean-up day.
• Eggleston said the library is asking the township for an additional $5,000 on top of its regular monetary commitment to allow for the installation of a fiber line in the library. Currently, the library operates on DSL Internet. With the $5,000, the library would be able to pay for a $66,000 fiber line that could eventually be used by the township building as well.
• The board's voting meeting will be held at 8 p.m. March 27. The meeting has been changed from the regular date because Eggleston will be out of town.

Mt. Lebanon hosts Art in the Park
An ordinary parking lot in Mt. Lebanon will be transformed into an art-lover's paradise Oct. 5 and 6 for the 12th annual Art in the Park fundraiser, sponsored by the Mt. Lebanon Sunrise Rotary Club and the Mt. Lebanon Police Association.
"We have been so very pleased with the overwhelming community support of this event year after year," said Nate Navela, president of the Mt. Lebanon Sunrise Rotary Club.
Art in the Park or Art in the Park-ing lot, as it is often called since moving from Mt. Lebanon Park two years ago, will be held in the Academy Avenue parking lot.
"It grows every year," said Suzi Neft, who has helped out with the event for the past few years. It is estimated that nearly 5,000 people will attend the event.
The two-day juried arts and crafts show enables artists to display and sell their works. Arts and crafts include oil, watercolor, pastel, textiles, weaving, needlework, florals, glass, ceramics, jewelry, photography, wire sculpture and woodcarving. Prices range from $10 to $5,000.
Judges for Art in the Park include Tamara Pavlock of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and George Nichols of South Arts. A best-in-show, second, third and five honorable mentions will be awarded.
In the past two years, Art in the Park has raised more than $40,000 for local organizations. In the dozen years it's been in existence, the event has raised approximately $240,000 for charity. Most of the money stays in the Mt. Lebanon and South Hills area and has been distributed to organizations such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Salvation Army, Boys and Girls Club, Lifespan Senior Centers, the Mt. Lebanon Police Association, the Mt. Lebanon Fire Department and the Mt. Lebanon and Dormont Libraries.
The event starts at 10 a.m. Oct. 5 and runs until 6 p.m. Hours Oct. 6 are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. In addition to the artists, there will be activities for children including face painting and a booth where they can make their own bracelets. Food vendors will also be on hand.
Elaine Rosenfield, of the Mt. Lebanon Sunrise Rotary Club has been involved in Art in the Park since its inception. As event coordinator, she said most of the artists at the festival are from the South Hills but others come from Portersville, Morgantown and Pittsburgh.
"There's a lot of talent in this area," Rosenfield said.
Stephen Douglas and Blake Anthony are two local talents featured at Art in the Park. Both are from Mt. Lebanon.
For the sixth year in a row, Douglas will be selling his handcrafted metal art.
"For me, it's in my backyard," said Douglas, who owns Dark Waters Metal in Carnegie. "There's always the right amount of people," Douglas said he likes Art in the Park because he's allowed to demonstrate his metalwork and forging at the festival.
"The forging really draws attention," Douglas said. "Every time I look up, it's a different crowd," he said.
Douglas will have two booths at Art in the Park. One booth will feature smaller metal art pieces for sale and the other booth will be a designated work/demonstration space. Douglas said he also works with individuals from the ground up to help them design pieces to compliment their homes. He makes anything from railing, to fireplace screens to flowers – all using metal forging.
This year's Art in the Park will be the first for Anthony as a vendor. He'd been a buyer at past festivals.
Anthony and his girlfriend, Laura Sendacook, operate Pittsburgh Pottery from the basement of their home. While Anthony has been making pottery for nearly 15 years, he only started his business nine months ago.
Most of his pottery is Pittsburgh-themed. He uses black and gold as the primary colors in his mugs and bowls.
In addition to the wares of Douglas and Anthony, some of the more interesting items include metal chain art, figurines made from olive wood, blown glass and handmade ceramic beads made into jewelry.
"Everything's original," Rosenfield stressed.
Since Art in the Park is running at the same time as the Plein Air art event, Rosenfield added, "it makes for a very artsy week in Mt. Lebanon."

(Guest blogger Emily Warn is co-owner of Two Pens, which teaches people to write social media content from both sides of the brain.)
My handwriting is as legible as a doctor's. This holiday season that could have become a problem. Over the summer, my Italian plum trees pumped out fruit like a post-recession factory, producing enough for three different kinds of chutney, and yes, Slivovitz (plum brandy). I didn't want someone slathering garlic-ginger chutney on an English muffin so I decided to create READABLE holiday labels with the help of Word templates.
Where to get FREE jar label templates
There are loads of free templates for labels for jam jars. I recommend starting with them. You'll find a list of places to get them at the end of the post, including those on office.com Later on, if you want to learn how to create your own from scratch in Word, read this tutorial on the Local Kitchen blog.
(Looking for holiday card templates, look on office.com.)
For my plum-erific project I chose to use Avery labels by heading to Avery Design Print Online where you can get lots of free templates (of course you have to buy the labels!).
Picking the perfect label
Almost all free template sites ask for your email address, but usually not any additional personal info. After you do that on Avery Design Print Online, you'll need to either enter a product number or choose a type of template, say a mailing label or jar label, and you'll see templates to choose from:
Fiddle until the label says you
I wanted text to replace my scrawl so I chose the label that had a Mistletoe with a place to add the name of my chutneys. But when I entered the text, it didn't look right-my words kissed (!) the mistletoe.
I clicked Next to get to the editing tools, which made it easy for me to move the text down and change its color.
Satisfied my fiddling had created labels that my friends and family wouldn't have to squint to read, I clicked Save in order to download it to my computer. I now had a Word document of 18 identical labels, which are sized and spaced to match a particular sheet of labels from Avery-which of course I already had. I stacked a bunch of label sheets in my printer, and clicked Print in Word.
Now the fun part-a jam-jar labeling party listening to holiday music and sipping Slivovitz.
Other label template websites
- Office.com has label templates for jars, CD cases, file folders, etc.
- Avery Design & Print Online
- Vista Print (not free but very cheap)
- Frugal Living

Other than letting the gas dip below a quarter-tank in my SUV, I avoid living dangerously.
When my daughters went parasailing at Myrtle Beach, I was left to sit in the boat and worry sick as the girls, mere specks in the sky, sailed 400 feet high until the captain reeled them in (on a cable that, to me, more closely resembled dental floss than steel).
And when my sister decided to go parachuting and invited me along, I quickly declined, standing by my assertion that unless an airplane is going down, I'm not jumping from it voluntarily.
So imagine my alarm earlier this month when I saw video footage of American big wave surfer Garrett McNamara careening down the front of a 100-foot wave in Nazare, Portugal.
A 100-foot wave! If I saw a wall of water 10 stories high heading straight toward me, my first thought would not be, "I need someone with a Jet Ski to tow me out there so I can ride that behemoth!"
To me, that's a wave that swallows ships like the Andrea Gail in "The Perfect Storm," and topples oil drilling platforms, and I'm fleeing in the opposite direction.
But there was McNamara, riding a moving mountain.
I don't know why someone would want to ride a big wave, or climb a cliff without safety ropes, or bungee jump off the New River Gorge Bridge, or ride a roller coaster that hurtles down a track at 90 mph and doesn't have a brake.
But Dr. Frank Farley, a professor at Temple University and an expert in human behavior, has a pretty good idea, so I called him.
Farley has pinpointed a personality type, the Type T (for thrill seeking), that is driven by temperament and genetics to take risks in pursuit of the unknown.
According to him, Type Ts thrive on the intensity and uncertainty associated with activities that most people consider to be too frightening.
"Type Ts often seek excitement and stimulation wherever they can create it or find it, and they're often creative, high-energy, self-confident and believe they control their fate," said Farley, who cites Albert Einstein, Evel Knievel, and the men who planned the American Revolutionary War as Type T positives (using their powers for good), and gangster John Dillinger as a Type T negative.
"They're involved in activities where they have a lot of variables happening at once, and they can think on their feet. In some cases – if you're climbing to the top of Mt. Everest or surfing a big wave – you find yourself in important life and death situations and you're in charge of it."
America is filled with Type Ts, probably more than any other country, Farley said.
"This nation tilts a little toward the big T; it's one of the defining qualities of America," he said. "It's a democracy. It's conducive to risk-taking. There's plenty of elbow room to try things."
My conversation with Farley confirmed that I am not a Type T personality. And it prompted me to call legendary big wave surfer Peter Mel, the 2011-12 Big Wave World Tour Champion and 2013 Mavericks Invitational champion, to find out why on earth he thinks big wave riding is fun.
Mel has ridden waves approaching 70 feet high – he used to get towed in but now paddles into them most of the time because it's more challenging – so I'd say he definitely falls into the a Type T category.
"The neatest thing about surfing is that it takes you into the now. It puts me into this moment where I'm not really thinking, I'm just doing," Mel told me. "You're so confident, so hyper-focused on what's happening when you're out there that it's not scary when you're doing it. When you're done, you get to reflect on it and that's the best part for me: that buzz, that adrenaline feeling afterward. Watching video, you get to see what was going on."
Mel said he doesn't think of himself as a thrill-seeker, and then talked about heading to Cortes Bank, a perilous spot about 100 miles off the coast of San Diego, Calif., (about a 10-hour trek by boat into the middle of the ocean) that produces some of the biggest, fastest, most powerful and unpredictable waves in the world.
Cortes Bank proved to be especially dangerous in December, when Mel's fellow big wave surfer and friend Greg Long nearly drowned after he wiped out there and was pinned down by a series of large waves. A rescuer pulled the unconscious Long onto a Jet Ski and took him to a boat, where he was revived and then airlifted by a Coast Guard helicopter to a San Diego hospital.
"It was one of the scariest sessions I've ever been through," said Mel. "It's a pretty unique place. You go 100 miles out to sea and there's no land anywhere, which adds a whole other element of fear and danger to what we're doing. Sometimes you're put in a situation where you think, 'Why am I out here?' I'm getting older and sometimes I find myself thinking, 'Do I really need to be out here anymore?'"
Something we both can agree on.
I admire Mel and the Type Ts among us, those intellectual and physical rule-breakers who push the limits and who, Farley says, are responsible for the world's greatest creative achievements.
But I'm content to watch Mel tackle Mavericks on YouTube and to settle for the merry-go-round at Kennywood. There's band music, it's attached to the ground and it's conveniently located near an ice cream stand. Now THAT'S a good ride.

Styling Steps
1 . Apply Moisturizer
Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.
2 . Part the Middle
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
3 . Use a Large Radial Brush
A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
5 . Blow-dry Straight on the Sides
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.
6 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.

Wednesdays in the Railyard aren't exactly thebusiest night of the week. I almost expect the proverbial tumbleweed to blow across Montezuma as I walk toward the New Mexico Film Museum—formerly known as the Jean Cocteau Theater. Once inside, the tiny lobby holds six people, which fills it just about to capacity.
In the movie house, which only seats about 125 people, the crowd is a mostly homogenous-looking herd of middle-aged, casually dressed inteligencia murmuring amongst themselves. Joanne Smogor, the outreach and communications director of the Farmers Market Institute and the organizer of its film series, introduces sponsors—dentists, soap-makers and caterers, to name a few—and points out a few bona fide farmers. At 25 and 23 years old, respectively, my boyfriend and I are the youngest people there. The screen is small enough that, even though some of the only seats left are in the second row, we aren't concerned about having to crane our necks back. It'll be like watching the TV at home, only with more people around.
We've come out for the monthly installment of the movie series. The last movies I've seen in theaters have been, admittedly, The Dark Knight, because everyone else was doing it, and Appaloosa, because it was filmed in New Mexico—but here I am, at a movie that fulfills neither of those qualifications.
Garbage: The Revolution Starts at Home is a relatively low-budget documentary about the MacDonalds, a Toronto family convinced to be the guinea pigs in a sado-masochistic experiment: They must keep their garbage for three months. The movie starts out innocently enough, showing the husband and wife and their three young children as they pick out industrial garbage cans, test thick plastic bags and figure out how to get around health code violations.
Director Andrew Nisker takes the viewer to landfills, recycling centers and to the heart of Toronto's multi-million dollar "wet garbage" processing plant—a place where Canadians' food scraps, paper towels and kitty litter are processed into composting material. We learn about phosphates in our laundry detergent, heavy metals in our bodies, and how communities in Michigan deal with being the dumpster to Canada's trash. The narrative then takes us to West Virginia, where residents in coal mining towns have had their homes, schools and lungs destroyed by the coal plants that supply Toronto's power.
But why show this movie in Santa Fe? In fact, none of the movies shown thus far by the movie series, which is in its fourth year, take place in Santa Fe. Sure, the film was interesting—as the aforementioned homogenous crowd would attest. But this family is in Toronto. They eat refined grains and use Tide laundry detergent, which probably made some movie viewers' toes curl as they clutched their sustainable-bamboo-fiber Mrs. Meyer's-scented sweaters around them.
To bring the movie full-circle and localize the issue, Justin Stockdale, a private consultant with Resource Revival, and E Gifford Stack of the New Mexico Environment Department's Solid Waste Bureau, who have decades of solid waste management between them, speak to the audience about Santa Fe's trash and recycling programs.
Film viewers are invited to share their thoughts and ask questions pertaining to the topic, and there is some talk thrown around about "Those People." No, we're not talking about the subjects of the documentary; we're talking about the mysterious "Other," the uneducated ones who Don't Recycle or who Waste Water or who Buy Excess Packaging. Some moviegoers cannot understand the ignorance of these unmentionables who are not as hip to the environment as the theater's denizens that evening. Some moviegoers vow to dedicate their lives (or at least a few hours a month) to educating others about what can be done to change the fate of the planet.
My boyfriend and I later wonder jokingly if perhaps these environmental crusaders, these proponents of solid waste justice, are concerned about their karma or jockeying to get into heaven ahead of each other.
After the group discussion ends and the crowd is directed to the lobby for homemade (packaging-free) snacks, I leap up and ask Stockdale my one single burning solid waste question: Out of the seven numerical designations of plastics, why can I only recycle ones and twos? Why can't I just throw any old plastic into the recycling bin? Oh, how it hurts to throw my yogurt cups in the trash can!
Stockdale says that, while other places may accept recyclable items of any designation, most places can only find a market to re-sell plastics labeled one or two. If the powers that be can't re-sell what they're pulping up or melting down, why put it anywhere but a landfill? According to Stockdale, while recyclers will take away my yogurt cups in my home state of New Jersey, it's quite possible they then load my yogurt cups onto another truck and send it to a landfill, right under my nose. Whereas I'd thought Santa Fe either lacked the facilities to process everything, or perhaps simply lacked the initiative to try, Stockdale assures me otherwise. It turns out that it's all about the money. And there's no money in recycling—unless it's ones and twos, and sometimes not even then.
There is no surefire way, then, to make sure the things that come in my front door are definitely serving some benevolent purpose when they go out the back door. The key to being environmentally friendly is not recycling; it's simply generating less waste, as impossible as it may seem.
The crowd in the lobby is animated and cheery, discussing their solid waste woes or composting habits, eating treats and snagging pencils, brought by Stack, which are made out of recycled tires, blue jeans and dollar bills. I, however, am ready to leave. I have learned a lot, and I need to process the knowledge into useable material—much like the mashed-up baby diapers and celery stalks in the plant in Toronto.
I need to go get a milkshake in a Styrofoam cup and then, consequently, think about what I'd just done.
Smogor says the Farmers Market Institute's movie series is a tool for education. The films it shows—about the disappearance of honeybees, community gardens in South Central LA, or the plight of the electric car—aim to educate the public about something it didn't know before. I can certainly attest that I know something I didn't know before: namely, that Santa Fe's recycling system isn't insidious, necessarily; it's simply more honest than New Jersey's.
I ask Smogor, "Do these films really make a difference? Do people change?"
She replies that, after the May 2008 showing of The Silence of the Bees, a number of viewers were so moved by the movie, which detailed the steady disappearance of bees, that they actually went home and became beekeepers (see page 38). All because of a movie.
All because of a movie, I will continue to drive my recycling the 10 miles it takes to get to the Buckman Transfer Station, and I'll be a little less bitter when I can only throw ones and twos in the giant tractor-trailer-sized bins. But I'll also question why I can't throw more in or, more esoterically, why we have to throw it in at all. And I'll definitely go to the next movie.
Wednesdays in the Railyard aren't exactly thebusiest night of the week. I almost expect the proverbial tumbleweed to blow across Montezuma as I walk toward the New Mexico Film Museum—formerly known as the Jean Cocteau Theater. Once inside, the tiny lobby holds six people, which fills it just about to capacity.

The third-ranked Duke women's golf team carded a first round 293 and holds a seven-stroke lead heading into the second round at the 2013 ACC Championship, which is being played at the 6,210-yard, Par 71 Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
The championship featured strong winds during the entire competition on Friday as the teams teed off early to beat the inclement weather expecting to arrive in the early afternoon. As a team, Duke turned in six birdies and leads by seven strokes over Virginia (300). Rounding out the field is N.C. State (301), Florida State (306), North Carolina (308), Wake Forest (310), Boston College (311), Maryland (311) and Miami (314).
"The wind was gusting. It was literally going to a dead stop once in a while and right now it is blowing 20 miles an hour," commented Duke head coach
Dan Brooks
. "It was very hard to pull the right club. To a player, I heard comments about how my mistakes were due to pulling the wrong club."
Duke, who is the defending ACC Champions and owns 17 overall ACC titles, features four golfers in the top six of the individual leaderboard led by junior
Alejandra Cangrejo
with a one-over-par, 72. A product of Bogota, Columbia, Cangrejo is tied for second overall and only one shot off individual leader Brittany Altomare of Virginia (71).
"It is great to have the lead," said Brooks. "The bigger the lead the better. We are happy with it. Tomorrow should be a little less wind and be a little bit more of a low scoring type of day."
Cangrejo opened her day with eight straight pars before missing the green on the 365-yard, uphill par four ninth and suffered a bogey. She netted her only birdie of the day on the par five 15th to move back to even par but suffered a three-putt bogey on No. 16 on her way to finishing with a 72. Cangrejo hit 13 greens, eight fairways and posted 32 putts on the day.
"Aleja was fantastic," said Brooks. "She was really smart today, played the wind well and struck it well."
Defending ACC Champion
Lindy Duncan
turned in a two-over-par, 73, and is fifth overall with 36 holes remaining. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Duncan turned in bogeys on No. 1, No. 7 and No. 16 before closing her day with a birdie on the final hole - 492-yard, par five 18th. She hit her approach shot just short of the green and placed an excellent chip to within a few inches of the cup for a tap-in birdie. Duncan hit 13 fairways, 13 greens and had 33 putts on the day.
Both freshman
Celine Boutier
and junior
Laetitia Beck
each carded rounds of 74 and are tied for sixth overall. Beck had a slow start to the day with bogeys on No. 1, No. 2 and No. 6, but regrouped on No. 8 as she rolled in a 30-foot putt for birdie to move back to two-over-par. She was unlucky on the ninth hole as her approach shot went over the green and out of bounds as she concluded with a double-bogey.
On the back nine, Beck suffered a bogey on the 10th hole, but closed with a two-under-par score over her final eight holes that included birdies on No. 12 and No. 15. Beck, who is out of Caesarea, Israel, rolled in an 18-foot birdie on the 12th hole and made a tremendous up-and-down on No. 15 to collect birdies. She hit 10 greens, 10 fairways and had a team-best 29 putts on the day.
Courtney Ellenbogen
struggled on Friday and finished with an 82 and is tied for 37th overall. Ellenbogen, who is from Blacksburg, Va., hit 11 fairways, nine greens and had 37 putts on the day.
Sedgfield Country Club switched to Bermuda grass on the greens prior to the 2013 championship, which has made the tournament even more challenging.
"I think they handled the greens pretty well," commented Brooks. "We had a good practice round on Thursday. They are not superfast, a good speed but not too fast. We played this course on very firm greens last year that were actually very, very fast. We are used to the firmness from last year so I think we are handling it ok."
Duke will tee off on Saturday in the second round along with Virginia and N.C. State beginning at 10:10 a.m., off hole No. 1.

MONACA – The governor says an oil company's decision on whether to build a proposed petrochemical plant in Western Pennsylvania may be pushed back into next year, but he remains optimistic about the plant coming to the commonwealth.
Gov. Tom Corbett told the Pittsburgh Business Times Friday that he "never had June as a date" for Shell Oil Co. to decide on the multibillion-dollar plant proposed for Beaver County.
"I've always thought it would be early next year," Corbett said, adding that his conversations with officials indicate "they're still moving forward."
The June 30 deadline stems from a six-month extension Shell negotiated at the end of last year with Horsehead Corp., which would sell its land 35 miles north of Pittsburgh to the energy firm. The Potter Township site is now home to a zinc shelter, which Horsehead expects to shut down.
The so-called cracker plant would convert natural gas liquids from the Marcellus Shale into more profitable chemicals such as ethylene, which is used to make plastics, antifreeze and other products. Officials have said the plant would employ 100,000 temporary construction workers and provide 400 permanent jobs after that.
While other such plants are moving forward on the Gulf Coast, Corbett says a plant here would be closer to the natural gas source, and the region doesn't usually get the hurricanes and tornadoes seen further south.
Last year, Shell announced that it had signed a land option agreement with Horsehead to evaluate the site after Pennsylvania had competed with Ohio and West Virginia for the tentative commitment. In addition to making it eligible for at least 15 years of property tax exemptions, Corbett and state lawmakers ensured the Shell plant would be eligible for a 25-year state tax credit of a nickel per gallon of ethane used beginning in 2017. The tax incentives could easily surpass $1 billion in value.
Other officials have also expressed optimism about the plant eventually landing in Western Pennsylvania.
"Natural gas development represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create jobs across Pennsylvania and grow our economy," said U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.

O-R publisher discusses newspaper's decision to outsource printing
Since mid-August, The Almanac and the Observer-Reporter have been printed in West Virginia, on the press owned by the Wheeling Intelligencer.
The decision to outsource printing operations represents a historic transition for the publishing company, which had been printed its products in Washington since its 1808 founding.
It's also another indication of the continually changing dynamics of the modern newspaper industry.
Observer-Reporter Publisher Tom Northrop said an aging press that was dedicated only to publishing the daily and weekly newspapers no longer made economic sense.
"Our press was running for two hours a night five nights a week, and four hours each of the other two nights," Northrop said.
The other industry trend in recent times has been for newspapers to build large-scale printing plants that contract to print numerous papers and run as around-the-clock operations.
"We could either load up the press with printing jobs or have someone else print the paper," he said, adding that the decision to outsource was also determined by the fact that the Observer's press didn't have certain color capabilities that advertisers now demand.
"It was the right press at the right time when we bought it in 1992," he said. "Now it just doesn't do what we need it to do. We couldn't cost-justify buying another press."
The improvement in the quality of the color was immediately apparent once printing was moved to Wheeling, Northrop added.
Sending the printing and stuffing operations to Wheeling also create "significant savings" for the paper, he said. He also acknowledged that the change meant the loss of 38 jobs; 15 full-time and 23 part-time positions.
"The people who worked in the production operations did a great job for a long time," Northrop said, adding that the decision to outsource comes at a time of enormous change in newspapers.
"The industry has changed so much in the past few years, it's just part of the evolution of newspapers."
The changes will continue in the years to come, he said, but the outsourcing of its printing operations will enable the paper to invest in the future.
"As things migrate online, it will give us more of an opportunity in the future," Northrop said. "We will commit more resources to the digital side."

Derived from the middle name of the King of the Bros, the word "Brovala" describes one who is at peace with the ways of the bro. Being in a state of "Brovala" is similar to the feeling you get after your first bite of a Chipotle Burrito.
August reached a state of brovala, and reached the ultimate bro status.
