rian Tercero grew up in a home built by his father on family property in the historic Village of Agua Fría, a long way from Santa Fe’s pricey east-side neighborhoods. But Tercero, a Capital High School graduate and agent at Keller Williams Realty, was one of the Realtors involved in the highest-priced residential property sale so far in 2013 — a $4 million, 5,200-square-foot home located at 1260 Upper Canyon Road. Tercero represented the buyers, who lived outside the United
States and shopped for properties with him over the Internet. The listing agent for the home was Paige Maxwell of Sotheby’s International Real Estate, who said the sale was also her biggest ever and a sign that the luxury market in Santa Fe is healthy. “We’ve had an abundance of inventory in that market, but starting in October, the luxury market has really seen an increase in sales and showings,” she said. Tercero agreed, saying the allcash sale was watched by other agents and builders as an indication that homes on the historic

WASHINGTON — It’s final: Health insurance companies must cover mental illness and substance abuse just as they cover physical diseases. The Obama administration issued new regulations Friday that spell out how a 5-year-old mental health parity law will be administered. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the rule should put an end to discrimination faced by some mental health patients through higher out-of-pocket costs or stricter limits on hospital stays or visits to the doctor. The law, signed by President George W. Bush, was designed to prevent that. But mental health advocates said health insurers at times sidestepped lawmakers’ intentions by delaying requests for care and putting in place other bureaucratic hurdles.

Mayor David Coss wants the Santa Fe City Council and other area governing bodies to pass resolutions urging Los Alamos National Laboratory to clean up its nuclear waste dump rather than leaving the waste buried in the ground. Coss said Los Alamos’ Technical Area 54, Area G, just west of White Rock, was used to bury transuranic waste during the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb, and during the early years of the Cold War. Above-ground waste from Area G is being hauled to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad. But, Coss said, one proposal calls for leaving the buried waste in place and capping it to make it impervious to water.
