Commission seeks nominees
The Santa Fe County Commission is accepting letters of interest from individuals who wish to be nominated for the state House of Representatives District 50 seat left vacant by the Aug. 16 death of Rep. Stephen Easley of Eldorado. Candidates must be at least 21 years old and live within the district, which includes parts of Santa Fe, Bernalillo, Torrance and Valencia counties. The individual also cannot hold an “office of trust or profit with state, county or national government at the time of qualifying,” a county news release said. County commissions in each county in District 50 will make nominations for the appointment by Gov. Susana Martinez. Santa Fe County will accept letters of interest and résumés until noon Monday. The letter should include “why you would like to serve as a state representative and how you plan to incorporate the interest of the entire district,” the county announcement said. The documents should be delivered to County Manager Katherine Miller, 102 Grant Ave., Santa Fe, N.M. 97501.

pending lawsuit, filed by state Republican lawmakers. Earlier this week via its Facebook page, Ellins’ office started requesting legal defense donations, starting at $5. Ellins says he “felt it was inappropriate” to use county resources to pay the legal fees. Last week, a group of Republican legislators filed a civil suit in 3rd Judicial District Court, alleging Ellins, a Democrat, overstepped his authority and violated the state constitution.

PHOENIX — Robert Redford will join conservationists from across the U.S. and Mexico at an event Saturday in Phoenix aimed at raising money and awareness for the restoration of part of the overtaxed Colorado River that has become more desert than delta. The actor is slated to speak at a gala at the Arizona Science Center as a coalition of environmental groups launches a fundraising drive for the project. He also plans to screen Watershed, a documentary on the river system produced by him and his son, Jamie Redford. Arizona restaurateur and James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Bianco will pre-
pare a “low-water-use” menu. Colorado River Campaign director Gary Wockner also will attend. He said if nothing is done to restore the river, it will continue to be “bonedry and never reach the sea again.” “This is a huge opportunity in river restoration, where the two countries have agreed to do something about this,” Wockner said. Wockner said the Colorado River used to have 2 million acres of wetlands in the delta, which lies in the Gulf of California in Mexico. Organizers are aiming to raise $10 million by 2017. So far, $2 million has been raised. The money would go toward restoration and acquiring water rights from farmers in Mexico, Wockner said.

Richardson is a former United Nations ambassador who went on several hostagerelease missions for former President Bill Clinton. Kevin Bleyer is listed as co-author. A blurb on Amazon.com describes the book as a “rare, candid, and entertaining glimpse into an insider’s world of high-stakes negotiation — showing Richardson’s successes and failures in some of the world’s least friendly places.” Although rarely seen in New Mexico in recent months, Richardson has been busy in other parts of the country. He has appeared on CNN and MSNBC discussing the Syrian crisis. He’s speaking on Sept. 23 at the University of West Virginia at The David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of

WAYLAND BREWER "WAYNE" COE Wayne B. Coe (originally Wayland Brewer Coe of East Burke and Lyndonville, Vermont) beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and dear friend died as a result of small cell carcinoma on August 31, 2013. He went peacefully in his sleep at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with loved ones at his side. Wayne worked for the federal government for 25 years, where he "enjoyed being part of history in the making." He loved his country, seeing every president in person since Truman, volunteering during elections, and visiting all 50 states. Wayne loved to travel; he lived in Paris for two years and visited much of Europe, then later traveled to parts of Africa and Asia, eventually seeing over 30 countries. Wayne served on church committees, discussed life’s issues with his many friends, and went dancing on the plaza. Wayne never had a bucket list; he did all the things in life that he wanted to do. Condolences may be sent to Shirley Coe, P.O. Box 53547, Albuquerque, NM 87153. If you wish to make a donation, please do so to Common Cause or your preferred charity. Memorial services will be held at 2 pm on September 14 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Santa Fe.
