ByChristopherSherman The Associated Press IGUALA,MEXICO Theprevi- ous elected mayor is in jail, and the new one wants to "turn the page" on the ugli- est chapter in the history of this southern Mexican city. Fifteen months ago, when 43 rural college students disappeared at the hands of local police and cartel thugs, Iguala became the symbol of Mexico's narco- brutality. Now, federal po- lice are in charge of secu- rity, the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party con- trols city hall — and Mayor Esteban Albarran Mendoza wants to move forward. "Ask the businesspeo- ple, ask the cab drivers, the housewives, those who live daily here in the city, what they are enduring right now ...," Albarran said. "There is anxiety. There is not peace. There is not security. We want to turn the page on all these kinds of things." But how can this city move on when, accord- ing to a local newspaper's count, there were five mur- ders during Albarran's first week in office, and 25 in his first two months? Disappearances continue, and most of the missing have not been found. For hundreds of families around Iguala there is no possibil- ity of turning the page as long as they have no proof of death or a body to mourn. On Tuesdays, they gather in the San Gerardo church basement to listen to the new numbers from the at- torney general's office: bod- ies found, bodies identified, bodies returned to their families. Most leave without answers and return home to await a call to view photos of clothing or evidence of a genetic match. While seeking resolution of old horrors, there are new ones. Zenaida Candia Espi- nobarro already spent her Sundays with other fam- ilies searching the moun- tains around Iguala for hid- den graves, looking for the remains of a son who disap- peared two years ago. But while she was look- ing for the bones of one son, she lost another: Armando Velazquez Candia was shot by two men on a motorcy- cle in front of his girlfriend's house the afternoon of Oct. 26 and died 10 days later. Along with the blood- shed, the drug trade goes on. Despite the presence of federal and state police, and the military, there is no sign that trafficking has abated around Iguala or elsewhere in Guerrero state — a pro- ducer of marijuana and opium paste for the U.S. her- oin market. Again this month, state and federal officials prom- ised to secure Guerrero and eradicate more poppy fields, recognizing that efforts of the past year had little im- pact. Not that Iguala is un- changed. Former Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca Velazquez was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the disap- pearance of the 43 students, and 66 police from Iguala and neighboring Cocula have been jailed. 15 MONTHS AGO A erstudentsdisappear,aMexicancitytriestoturnpage Washington 62/54 New York 61/52 Miami 83/75 Atlanta 70/63 Detroit 50/39 Houston 76/64 Chicago 45/39 Minneapolis 38/32 Kansas City 56/47 El Paso 65/46 Denver 43/21 Billings 36/13 Los Angeles 65/51 San Francisco 59/48 Seattle 45/38 AIRQUALITYFORECAST Whatitmeans:0-50:Good; 51-100:Moderate; 101-150:Unhealthyforsensitivepeople; 151+:Unhealthyforall.

Rain may impact travel from the Gulf Coast to New England. Enough rain can fall in parts of the South to cause localized flooding problems. Some of the thunderstorms can be locally gusty along the Gulf Coast as well. Most ar- eas from New Mexico to central Texas, northward to Wisconsin and Michigan can expect a dry and mild day with some sunshine. A batch of snow is forecast to streak eastward across North Dakota and northern Minnesota.
