Owners of Five & Dime plan 10th store Couple to open latest branch in rival ‘oldest city’ in September 2014 By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican
A small general store that opened on the Santa Fe Plaza 15 years ago has turned out to be the nucleus of a growing chain of such businesses in well-trafficked tourist areas around the country. The owners of the Five & Dime General Store at 58 E. San Francisco St. aim to open their 10th store in St. Augustine, Fla., a tourist destination that has vied with Santa Fe for the title of oldest continually occupied city in the United States. Like the Santa Fe store, the other outlets sell souvenirs, postcards, snacks and soft drinks, as well as everyday items like paper towels, extension cords, light bulbs, office supplies, makeup and toiletries that help travelers “feel at home,” Five & Dime CEO Mike Collins said this week. In 1998, Earl and Deborah Potter of Santa Fe and a group of local investors opened the Santa Fe Plaza store in a space that had been leased

state police officer shot and killed a 39-year-old woman following a car chase early Thursday morning in south-central Santa Fe. State police Sgt. Emmanuel Gutierrez said the incident started around 1:15 a.m., when an officer tried to pull over a vehicle that was being driven erratically on St. Francis Drive at Alta Vista Street. Gutierrez said the driver, later identified as Jeanette Anaya, refused to pull over, and the chase began. Anaya reached speeds of 87 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood, according to a police news release. The officer performed a “pursuit intervention technique,” a maneuver in which an officer tries to cause a fleeing vehicle to spin out of control. The four-door silver Honda Accord crashed on the west side of Camino Carlos Rey near Herb Martinez Park, and the officer got out of his vehicle to speak with her, police said. However, Anaya then drove “aggressively and immediately”
toward the officer, and, as indicated by damage to Anaya’s vehicle, struck the the police vehicle on the driver’s side. The release said the officer then fired multiple shots at Anaya, killing her. The rear window of the silver sedan, which remained at the scene hours after the incident, appeared to have been shot out, and there was at least one bullet hole in the front windshield. According to state police, Anaya was dead at the scene, and a male passenger, who was described as a minor, was taken to the hospital for an examination of slight injuries that were not life-threatening. As of midday Thursday, police vehicles remained on the scene while investigators processed evidence. According to Santa Fe County jail records, Anaya has an arrest history that includes a charge of battery against a household member in 2010 and several charges of failure to appear and failure to pay fines. She pleaded guilty to battery against a household member in February 2010, and was given a 364-day suspended sentence. She also was ordered

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — The ruthless commander behind the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai as well as a series of bombings and beheadings was chosen Thursday as the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, nearly a week after a U.S. drone strike killed the previous chief. The militant group ruled out peace talks with the government, accusing Pakistan of working with the U.S. in the Nov. 1 drone strike. Islamabad

after several days of deliberation, said the council’s head, Asmatullah Shaheen Bhitani. Militants fired AK-47 assault rifles and anti-aircraft guns into the air to celebrate. The previous chief, Hakimullah Mehsud, was killed by the drone in the North Waziristan tribal area near the Afghan border. He was known for a bloody campaign that killed thousands of Pakistani civilians and security personnel, a deadly attack on a CIA base in Afghanistan and was believed to be behind the failed bombing in

to attend anger management classes, according to online court records. The male passenger’s identity hasn’t been released, and his connection to Anaya is still unclear. Police say he isn’t facing any charges at this time. Teresa Moya, who lives on Vereda de Pueblo on the south side of the park, said the sound of gunfire awoke her around 1:20 a.m. She said she heard five or six gunshots. She did not hear the car crash, she said, but when she looked out the second story of her home, she saw that the Accord had crashed into a concrete wall on her property. A few minutes later, she saw emergencyresponse personnel performing CPR on the male passenger. Annabelle Silva, who lives about a block away from where the incident took place, said she first heard sirens a little after 1 a.m. “I did hear the shots, but I didn’t know they were shots,” she said. She said motorists often speed by on Camino Carlos Rey.
