The Santa Fe New Mexican

Late last year, Santo Domingo Pueblo's tribal council quietly, and unanimously, decided to change the pueblo's name.

The traditional community, about halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, is now known as Kewa Pueblo.

The name change was disclosed at a meeting of the All Indian Pueblo Council in January, according to the Alvin Warren, secretary of the state Department of Indian Affairs.

People interested in green building, solar energy and water harvesting can take one or all six in a series of weekly green building classes offered at Santa Fe Community College beginning today.

Jessica López understands the message behind the character she portrays: a distressed teenager suppressed by her father's Latino macho culture, by her mother's strict rules and by her liberal American classmates' ideals.

Snow days can be an interruption, a bother, a halt to carefully made plans. They don't have to be, though.

Properly handled, snow days -- when school is canceled and work is late and parents have to adjust schedules to provide child care -- ought to be a gift.

Because once the snow has fallen and school has been canceled but the roads are plowed, the entire family can jump in the car or walk to a steep park and take time out for fun.

Legends, ceremonies, traditions perhaps the mythology of tea gives it such an air of romance.

Tea conjures up images of High Tea in Victorian England, the starkly beautiful Japanese tea ceremony or the marvels of ancient China. Tea's ability to engage our imagination might be why having tea on a winter's afternoon holds special appeal. It warms more than our bodies: It seems to warm our souls as well. And Santa Fe offers plenty of opportunity for the warmth of tea, whether out or to take home.
