Video captures ‘belligerent’ Studi, 66, making racial remarks at cops during arrest for drunken driving The New Mexican

Actor Wes Studi was arrested early Friday on a charge of aggravated DWI after drinking at a downtown Santa Fe bar, police records show. And video recorded by police after the arrest captured an angry Studi making a racial remark to an officer. A report said the 66-year-old Santa Fe resident, known for roles in such films as Dances With Wolves, Avatar and The Last of the Mohicans, was arrested around 1 a.m. after he was found with a car with two damaged tires in the middle of Old Pecos Trail Wes Studi near East San Mateo Road. The report by Officer Stephen Cosban said Studi, whose name is spelled Studie on police documents, refused to take a field sobriety test, a breath-alcohol test or submit to a blood test. At first, he denied he had been driving the car but later told the officer that he had been driving drunk, according to the report.

George P. Mitchell became one of the wealthiest men in U.S. after discovering hydraulic fracturing By Michael Graczyk The Associated Press

HOUSTON — Billionaire Texas oilman, developer and philanthropist George P. Mitchell, considered the father of fracking, died Friday at his home in Galveston, his family said. He was 94. Mitchell, the son of a Greek immigrant who ran a dry cleaning business in Galveston, became one of the wealthiest men in the U.S. He is considered the chief pioneer of hydraulic fracturing, the now common industry process known as fracking that uses chemicals with water under high pressure to crack open rock formations and release oil and natural gas. The process has led to an energy industry boom. Mitchell’s family, on the family foundation website, said he died of natural causes while surrounded by relatives.

amón José López’s buffalo hide painting of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 claimed the 2013 Best of Show Award at the Spanish Market preview night

Friday. In Un Sueño de Santa Fe Agosto 1680 López didn’t skimp on the bloodshed. Every square foot seems to feature a Native American with a missing limb, an arrow-riddled Spaniard or a bloodied and bruised Franciscan monk. “It was a war,” López said. “They weren’t playing. I wanted to make a piece that would educate people as to what actually happened.” Lopéz’s piece also won the Hispanic Heritage Award and the Revival Arts Award. The painting is made of four buffalo hides sewn together with sinew, and it’s about 8 feet by 16 feet. Lopéz said the work, which took about a year to make, could serve as a dust catcher for a church altar, or it could be hung from the ceiling. Lopéz also won Best of Show in 2011. His other awards include the 2008 Master’s Award for Lifetime Achievement at Traditional Spanish Market and the 1997 National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
