Gov. signs marijuana regulations into law
The city of Santa Fe is not maximizing a valuable resource: reclaimed wastewater. On an average day, more than 5 million gallons leave the city’s sewage treatment plant southwest of town. However, a
new study says the city should revamp its rate structure for the treated effluent so that all end users — including city parks and private enterprises — have incentive to be more efficient. Making the best use of the reclaimed wastewater will also help the city meet future
demands for potable water, the report says. Santa Fe’s drainpipes annually funnel about 1,825 million gallons of wastewater into the system, but only about 2 percent of the treated wastewater yields any revenue. In

Package sets limits on how much out-of-state visitors may purchase By Kristen Wyatt
The Associated Press
DENVER — A set of laws to govern how recreational marijuana should be grown, sold and taxed was signed into law Tuesday in Colorado, where Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper called the measures the state’s best attempt to navigate the uncharted territory of legalized recreational pot. The laws cover how the drug should be raised and packaged, with purchasing limits for out-of-state visitors and a new marijuana driving limit as an analogy to blood alcohol levels. Hickenlooper didn’t support marijuana legalization last year, but he praised the regulatory package as a good first crack at safely overseeing the drug. “Recreational marijuana is really a completely new entity,” Hickenlooper said, calling the pot rules “common-sense” oversight, such as required potency labeling and a requirement that marijuana is to be sold in childproof opaque packing with labels clearly stating the drug may not be safe. Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana as a constitutional amendment last year. The state allows adults over 21 to possess up to an ounce of the drug. Adults can grow up to six plants, or buy pot in retail stores, which are slated to open

he city’s only outdoor pool opened Tuesday with little fanfare, and that’s how the regulars like it. Around noon, only a few adults were swimming at the Bicentennial Pool, 1121 Alto St., while giggling children played in the tot pool. Lisa Mayer and Lawrence Fodor, who were both swimming at noon, said they liked the pool’s calm atmosphere.“There’s nothing like swimming outside,” Fodor said in
between laps. Both said they migrate to the outdoor pool from the Santa Fe Community College’s indoor pool as soon as possible. Fodor said the air temperature, in the mid-70s, and the lower chlorine content of the water makes the outdoor pool experience preferable. The outdoor pool also seems quieter because the slap of swimmer limbs through water doesn’t echo endlessly. Moreover, instead of concrete ceilings and steel rafters, patrons get to swim under the expansive New Mexico sky. At 12:15 p.m., Fodor and

Views on women’s changing roles are mixed, new study finds By Hope Yen
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A record number of American women are now the sole or primary breadwinners in their families, a sign of the rising influence of working mothers, a new study finds. Mothers now keep finances afloat in 40 percent of households with children, up from just 11 percent in 1960.

While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands, according to a study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. As the numbers have shifted, however, public attitudes have remained mixed regarding the impact of working mothers on families. People are not at all sure that it’s a good thing. Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. “This change is just another mile-

stone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “Women’s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined — the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely.”

Mayer each had a lane for themselves while one another person swam in a third lane. While the pool was quiet Tuesday, Paul Tapia, a water safety instructor, said it will be crazy within days. In fact, Tapia said management has to create two open swim sessions. Otherwise, some people might never leave the pool. Marjorie Lunderville brought her 6-year-old grandson to the outdoor pool after first trying the Genoveva Chavez Community Center and finding it full. She said
