Taos Flood Disaster Declared. Guards Used for Taos Pueblo Water
May 5 1983 Governor Anaya declared Taos County a disaster area due to flooding and ordered National Guardsmen to deliver drinking water to Taos Pueblo. Pueblo residents carried buckets to water tankers in the central compound as authorities expanded disaster status to the rest of the county the next day. An audit found weaknesses in five areas and flagged nearly $32 000 unaccounted for in county records. The first Peace Corps class trained at UNM and Taos then prepared for two-year Colombia service. A Taos bank charter bid was announced with plans for Taos National Bank featuring a Spanish styled building drive in parking and ample space.

The writer cites incidents against demonstrators and media attention, urges peaceful, respectful debate, and contends opposition to the war is not opposition to troops. The piece defends protests as grieving civilians and calls for troops home now.
