Teens: Security lacking at show

Expo spokesman says age rule wasn’t enforced By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Concert-goers said Tuesday that security was lax at the Foam Wonderland on Saturday night at Expo New Mexico, where Hannah Bruch, a 14-year-old Santa Fe girl, was taken ill and later died.

Rachelle Barela, an 18-year-old from Rio Rancho who attended the foam party with friends, said security at the door was nearly nonexistent. “They didn’t check our IDs at the door, and they didn’t pat us down,” Barela said. “They just scanned

f there is a local crossroads between the worlds of traditional and contemporary Indian arts, it’s probably located somewhere between the Santa Fe Plaza and 108 Cathedral Place, the location of the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. The museum, operated by the Institute of American Indian Arts, is opening a series of exhibitions designed to showcase contemporary Native artists against the traditional backdrop of the 92nd

annual Indian Market. Pieces from the touring exhibition, Celebrating Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation 3, will be on display in three of the museum’s gallery spaces. And three contemporary artists — Jacob Meders (Mechoopda Maidu), Steven J. Yazzie (Navajo) and Cannupa Hanska Luger (Three Nations) — will show new works in three other spaces in the museum. All three of those artists pitched proposals for new work to the museum, said

ALBUQUERQUE — The New Mexico Supreme Court is cautioning trial courts and lawyers in the heavily Hispanic state that citizens who don’t speak English have the right to serve on juries — a right enshrined in the state constitution. The court issued the admonition Monday in a unanimous ruling that upholds an Albuquerque man’s convictions for murder and other crimes in the 2004 bludgeoning death of his girlfriend and an armed robbery and stabbing. Michael Anthony Samora’s appeal argued that his convictions should be reversed because a Bernalillo County judge excused a Spanish-speaking prospective juror
