The Letter from Tina and Tim Brown As one of the 25,000 cars daily that pass through Gallup on our way to the Grand Canyon in our case, I wish to comment on your article in the March edition of Gallup Journey. My husband and I are traveling across the country in our fifth wheel for 16 months. We booked five nights at the USA RV park in Gallup because it is halfway between Santa Fe and Grand Canyon. in our research we knew it was a small town with Native American influence and trading post arts and crafts. We decided to plan on five nights because there was hiking at Red Rock park and Petrified Forest National Park.

The first observation we made as we entered Gallup was that every hotel chain was represented and every fast food chain.

“Hmm, what’s here that we’re unaware of ?” I commented to my husband.

“Well, we have 5 days to find out and explore”, he replied.

Today is day five and we are still scratching our head until we came across your article. In our travels across this country we have encountered many small towns where Main Street is empty stores and businesses with the only thriving places being Walmart and the dollar store on the outskirts of town. It’s a sad reality.

We are glad that Gallup is trying to address this situation. We recognize and love some of your efforts like the large pottery pieces and sculptures placed around town, the amazing murals and the landscape boulevards. You have the infustructure (hotels and Native American culture) plus the volume of tourists (if for only one night) to make Gallup a travel destination like St Augustine, FL or Asheville, NC. Decent restaurants and coffee shops would be a plus. You have the artistic critical mass, the Native American culture, and the stark but interesting geography as potential draws to the area. What we would have like to have seen is more galleries, the trading posts are nice but combining them with pawn shops is a detraction- some tend to be dark and uninviting. There is a great and growing interest in Native American philosophy. We would attend an attraction to experience the old ways of the Native American culture especially if it was tied into archeology, living conditions, spirituality, etc.

We realize that there are a variety of tribes that make up “Native Americans”.

We wish you luck and hope to read about Gallups success.

Sincerely, Tina and Tim Brown (262) 498-9102

Rehoboth Color Run On Monday, May 16, Rehoboth Christian School

is coordinating an allschool color run to raise money for the Preparing the Way Capital Campaign for a new high school. This color run is designed to be a funfilled way to promote school community, physical activity, and raise funds for a great cause. This fun run will take place from 1 3 p.m. on the trails behind Rehoboth’s campus. During the onehour run students will be showered with brightlycolored, powdered paint at various color stations . These types of events have been popular cross the country dating back to 2012. The Rehoboth Color Run will be a fun and creative way to involve our students in raising funds for our high school building project.

Rehoboth Christian School has a goal of raising $50,000 at this event from local business sponsorship and pledges raised by students. All students in grades K 12 are participating and if every student raises $85, they can achieve their goal of $40,000 in pledges from students. We are also hoping for an additional $10,000 from local business sponsorship.

In order to motivate students to bring in pledge money throughout this spring, various incentives have been set up for every $10,000 raised. Teachers will be tapping into their crazy side and performing zany and goofy stunts from dyeing hair to being duct taped to a wall while being hit with water balloons! If the school can reach its goal of $40,000 the students will be rewarded with an additional field trip.

14 April 2016

Want to get involved? You can sponsor a student for the race through a onetime donation. All donations are taxdeductible.

Rehoboth Christian School is continuing to move forward with the goal of providing the best possible Christian education in Gallup and McKinley County. The Preparing the Way Campaign will help Rehoboth to build a new High School facility, and allow their excellent teaching staff to facilitate 21st century learning that will equip our next generation of community leaders.

Rehoboth is devoted to developing the whole child intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. While Rehoboth Christian Schools serve 508 students in PreK 12th grade, the high school enrollment hovers around 185 students. A new high school building will allow for an increase of up to 225 students in the high school grades. This enrollment increase will allow for expansion of academic programs and continue to build on the excellent Bible-based curriculum that Rehoboth offers today.

The current Rehoboth Christian High School was built in 1949 when Rehoboth was run by the Christian Reformed Missions Board, based in West Michigan. Today, Rehoboth is led by a School Board made up of current and former parents. Rehoboth families pay tuition based on their income with

financial aid coming from a local and national support base, as well as scholarships from the Southwest Indian Foundation and Navajo Nation.

Rehoboth Christian School has been raising funds for the new High School building for over two years. Led by a double match pledge from the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation, each dollar raised up to $4 million will be double matched for an $8 million gift from the foundation. To date, almost $10.9 million has been committed, with a current need of $2.8 million to begin construction.

More information on how to get involved with the high school campaign or what a Rehoboth education offers is also available on their website,

BUCKING BUFFALOS KEEPING THE WILD WEST ALIVE The Bureau of Indian Affairs was created on March 11, 1824—under the care of the War Department. It was moved to the Department of Interior in 1849 because Native tribes were no longer considered “nations” that had to be dealt with by soldiers and treaties. That turned out to be a little premature. The logo for Interior is a buffalo, though a pathetic cow was considered. The logo for Indian Affairs is an eagle.

Every American is aware of the importance of the American bison— the big, shaggy animals most of us call buffalo. Once essential to the survival of prehistoric and historic Native Americans.

The American image of the Noble Redskin is a bronze warrior in full war bonnet, on horseback, chasing an endless herd of hairy beasts. We were taught in school that every part of the animal had a use.

In the late eighteen hundreds literally millions of the animals were massacred on the plains, mostly for mindless sport. What is less well known was the importance of the buffalo to the tribes of the southwest, even the distant Hopi. Every Pueblo tribe has a buffalo dance and most of them are still performed.

Ironic that when the vast herds vanished, the bearded beast became a symbol of the American west.

Buffalo Bill, who had a hand in their

Custer County Nebraska Rodeo Had Buffalo Riding on their Program

extermination, used them in his Wild West Shows starting in 1883, touring them all over Europe. One time in Italy he had to pay a tax on them as imported meat. Somebody wanted to know why the French hadn’t done the same for horses when he visited France.

Buffalo Bill Cody saw a cowboy ride a buffalo at a rodeo in Nebraska in 1882 and thought it would make an exciting event for his shows.

He had a huge buffalo they called Monarch that nobody would take a shot at. While sipping some purely medicinal whiskey, Bill got a little bold and decided to jump on the animal himself. He was in the hospital for two weeks.

A little known fact is that the famous promoter of freak shows and circuses, P. T. Barnum, staged a buffalo stampede At Miles City, Montana in 1915 Sampson Bird-In-Ground Rode in New Jersey in 1843. The a Buffalo in Full Regalia stampede wasn’t actually meant 18 April 2016

to take place. A famous roper, costumed and painted up like an Indian, was supposed to rope some of the starveddown buffalos.

The buffalo didn’t co-operate and the crowd whisled, stomped, and shouted their displeasure. The pathetic buffalo were eventually spooked by the loud jeers of the crowd and the frightened animals broke free to rampage the streets of a major eastern city.

They eventually took refuge in a swampy area. There was one sad note, a spectator was killed when he fell out of a tree.

Joe Tanner, the original J. B. and one of the founders of Ceremonial, bought a herd of the endangered beasts and brought them to a Fourth of July Celebration in Gallup. The Ceremonial Board preempted them for the first Ceremonial and a buffalo stampede was staged each day as part of the entertainment.

One animal was killed each day— one hopes by lance or bow and arrow— butchered at the Ceremonial grounds, and barbecued for the entertainers, who

Buffalo Ruding at Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial

appreciated the gesture greatly. Tanner soon found that the large, wild animals didn’t have any regard for fences and were constantly breaking loose.

On one occasion the animals made it all the way to McGaffey before they were rounded up. Legend has it that Inyanbito— Buffalo Springs, east of Gallup—got its name when a wayward bunch was recaptured in that location. During the off season the herd ranged on Joe Tanner’s homestead in the Chaco Canyon area.

In the Indian Department’s mind, the trouble with Wild West Shows was two-

Tesuque Buffalo Dancers most tribes had their own version of a Buffalo Dance

fold. They allowed Indians an excuse to leave their Reservations, and they were a lot of fun. The performers even made cash money. Gradually the Interior people figured out that the way to keep them home was to let them stage their own shows on their own land. The tribes soon learned that in order to have a rodeo, and the events they wanted, they had to have the “biggest sweet potato” contest, and a prizes for pickles and quilts.

The Crow Fair in Montana began in 1904—officially the first. That Crow fair was held just a mile from the Custer battlefield. The second oldest was the Navajo Fair, first held in Shiprock and then in Crownpoint, until it was moved to Gallup in 1922. The Navajos continued having fairs, expanding to other area of the Reservation. They are still held today.

It is hard to find a date for the first bucking buffalo ride, even though Cody supposedly added the event to his roster in 1882. Having an Indian dress up and get on the symbol of the Old West was an obvious move. At the Miles City Roundup in 1915, Sampson Bird-in Ground rode one in full regalia.

There is not a clear date for the addition of buffalo riding as a rodeo event in Gallup, but the sport continued well into the 1960s. Rodeo Clown and musician Bronco Martinez and Navajo Artist Ernest Franklin were two of the daring cowboys.

Bucking Buffalo was not a contested event, but what is known as a “contract” segment.

The riders were paid about ten dollars to ride the animals. A saddle was used and both hands were allowed. It would seem the animals’ humps would create a problem for the saddle, but there are several photos to prove the story.

In the last years of the buffalo a contractor supplied animals which looked like bison, but were actually “catallo”, a cow and buffalo cross. Supposedly they were less dangerous than the actual beasts, and put on a better show, being somewhat more agile.

Bucking Buffalo caught on at other Indian shows like Montana’s Crow Fair and was a uniquely Indian event for many years.

David A. Dary, in his history of the animal The Buffalo Book, retells a wonderful story about a Texan transplanted to South Dakota named Bob Yokum. Some friends took him to a bullfight in Juarez, Mexico which left him underwhelmed. He bragged he had a bull that could easily beat these “fighting” bulls the Mexicans put in the arena.

Eventually a $10,000 dollar wager was set up and Yokum went to fetch his bull. The bullfight progressed through the afternoon with bulls being killed by matadors, until the large buffalo went into the ring. He had a lame leg, so he just stood in the middle of the ring and waited. The fighting bull immediately attacked and hit the buffalo straight on in a head butt. Buffalo didn’t flinch. The bull attacked again and again, not getting any show out of the big animal. He finally got scared of the buffalo, gave up and tried to escape by climbing over the fence.

A second and then a third bull were let out with the same result. By the fourth try on the Mexican side the buffalo finally got peeved and chased all four bulls from the arena. He was mad.

Show buffalo may only be a footnote in the history of the near extinction of the Bison, but it is a colorful one.

THE

WAITING GAME

by Justin Shaw

“W

hat’s taking so long?” the son asked, anxiously tapping his foot.

“You need to learn how to wait dear,” the mother answered, as she patted him on his knee.

A clock hung on the wall, announcing the passing of time with the clicking of the rotating second hand. Bored individuals sat in chairs throughout the waiting room, occasionally shuffling to adjust their seat or reach for the nearest magazine. In one corner lay the reception desk, where a portly middle age woman sat, occasionally glancing over her computer screen to survey the waiting room. Time stood still, and the son knew he would never leave this place.

He took a deep breath and sighed, looking at his mother.

“I’m bored.”

“We’re all bored dear.”

“No one in here is as bored as me, I promise you that.”

“I don’t know, I’m pretty bored with this conversation that you keep wanting to have.”

The son grunted, defeated.

A toddler waddled over to the duo and nearly fell, steadying himself on the son’s leg. The child’s stained shirt hung loosely off his torso and one of his pant legs stuck up above his knee.

He carried a small package of crackers. The toddler raised the package to the son and held it open.

“Want one?” he asked.

The son studied the bag and its contents. After a brief pause, he shook his head no and motioned for the toddler to go away.

The child took the hint and left, but not before reaching a grubby hand into the bag and leaving a cracker on the son’s knee.

“Well that was nice of him, wasn’t it dear?” the mother asked.

A door next to the reception desk swung open, and a young woman wearing scrubs took a few steps into the room. She pulled down the mask covering her mouth and looked over the bored drones.

“David?” she called aloud to the group.

A young boy with a freckled face and blonde hair looked at his mother and shook his head.

“I don’t want to see the dentist, mom! I always brush my teeth, this is pointless!”

“Get up,” his mother said, blushing. “You’re being ridiculous.”

She stood and grabbed the boy by the wrist as he made no efforts to walk forward. Eventually, they both disappeared behind the open door with the young woman behind them. The door

26 April 2016

slammed shut with a thud and the waiting room returned to its state of nothingness.

The mother cleared her throat and muttered something under her breath.

“You ever act like that and I’ll disown you,” she said to the son.

“You can’t disown me mom, I’m your family. You’re stuck with me. Besides, that guy had the right idea. This dentist stuff is all junk anyway.”

“Oh?” the mother asked, amused. “How so?”

“We don’t really need to brush our teeth twice a day. Flossing?

Every day! Are you kidding me? I don’t know who made that stuff up but I brush my teeth like four times a week and I haven’t lost a single tooth yet.”

“That’s why we’re at the dentist now dear.”

“But it’s only too obvious, dentists tell us to brush all the time, toothbrush companies sell a ton of toothbrushes, then they split the profits with the dentists. It’s what I would do at least.”

The outside door swung open and a man in a suit walked in.

His bright red tie flashed brightly in contrast to his dark black jacket. He walked to the reception desk, checked in with the receptionist, and took a seat in a chair on the opposite wall.

He sat for a moment, then picked up a magazine and casually flipped through the pages.

The son concentrated his focus on the man, studying him carefully. At first, the man seemed to be amused by the attention. He shrugged to himself, shook his head and continued to rifle through the pages of the magazine. Yet, after intermittent moments of awkward eye contact with the son, the man dug his nose deeper into his magazine and slouched down further into his chair.

“It’s not polite to stare, dear.”

The son ignored his mother’s remark and kept his gaze on the man across the room.

“I’m about 95% sure that man is an alien.”

“What?”

“Who comes to the dentist dressed like that? Nobody, that’s who.”

“That’s probably what he has to wear to work. Now stop staring at him.”

The son continued to ignore his mother’s orders, “He probably thinks he is blending in so well. That no one has figured out his little charade. What does he want here though?

I wonder…”

The same toddler that had earlier offered the son a cracker wandered clumsily over to the man, who appeared to welcome the distraction from the son’s glare. The man spoke to the toddler in a hushed tone that was difficult to hear. The toddler nodded, and the bag of crackers was once again opened, with the same grubby hand presenting a cracker to the man who accepted it and began to eat.

“Yeah, go ahead and eat our food, pretend to be like us,” the son mumbled to himself. “I got my eye on you.”

The door next to the receptionist desk opened again, and the same woman in scrubs came out and called another name. A middle aged woman stood up and walked toward the doorway.

The sounds from the dental office behind the open door were amplified as the woman held the door open for the patient. A loud buzz rang out in the background. It was quickly hushed as the women retreated back into the office and the door was shut.

“Did you hear that sound? That was the drill,” the son declared.

“I told you, they are going to go drill crazy. Just tear right through all my teeth and gums. I’ll be toothless and won’t be able to eat any of my food and it’s all going to be your fault.”

The mother rolled her eyes and offered no response.

“Fine, you go ahead and just sit there. Just sit there as they drill right through my teeth and go straight through my brain.”

The mother cleared her throat loudly, and the son recognized his signal to stop. He sat quietly as the second hand of the clock continued its dull rhythm.

“I should have brought something to play with, this is so boring.”

“All you ever want to do is play with those electronic mumbo jumbos. I swear I should have never bought you any of that fancy stuff.”

“You didn’t buy my tablet for me mom, I saved for months to get it. You know that.”

“Yes dear, I do know that. It was a waste of money then, and a waste of money now.”

“Steven?” a voice rang out, interrupting the quarreling duo.

The son recognized the name and filled with both exhilaration and dread. He was done waiting, but at what cost? He slowly

stood up and gathered himself, breathing deeply.

He took small steps toward the woman who called his name, with his mother close behind.

“Oh, you don’t have to have your mom come with you. She can stay out here if she wants,” the woman offered.

“No, no,” the son answered. “I want her here with me. She needs to come.”

An awkward glance shot across the woman’s face, which she quickly hid with a smile.

“Ok then.”

“Don’t worry dear, you’ll be fine,” said the mother, and she gave her son a small pat on the back.

15 minutes later, the dental office door opened and two figures burst out into the bright sunshine.

“See, what did I tell you?” the son said. “I don’t have a single cavity. I knew this would be no big deal. You worry too much, mom.”

“Yes, I guess I do dear,” the mother answered. “Now, are you going to get into the car now and drive me to my bridge game?

You know the doctor doesn’t want me driving anymore. He says it’s not safe.”

“But mom,” said the son. “You know that I wanted to go get milkshakes after this. I can’t go get them on my own. I don’t have any money.”

“That’s because you live in the basement dear, and refuse to do anything with your college education and get a real job. You just play with your toys in there all day.”

“I have a real job mom. And don’t call them toys.

They are ventriloquism dummies, and one day people will pay good money to see me.”

“Oh I’m sure dear, but you might want to stop moving your mouth so much when you do it.”

“I’m developing new style mom, it’s going to be ground breaking. Ugh, you just don’t get it.”

“Get in the car and drop me off will you? Stop by the burger place first and we’ll get those milkshakes.”

“Awesome,” the son exclaimed, as he ran over to open the car door for his mother. “Love you mom.”

“Love you too dear.”

The Island of Lights A native fisherman at the market had called it “The Island of Lights.” No one lived there, he said, and no one fished nearby. From the mainland, only a dim glow could be seen on very clear evenings.

A missionary at the Post Office informed me that the government had cautioned traffic to the small island after sundown due to a report that a group of curious tourists had disappeared after an overnight camp-out on the Island of Lights.

“Has there been any official exploration?” I enquired, more than a little intrigued. “Surely the Australian or American governments have looked into it.” “There are stories,” the missionary agreed.

“Personally, I think it is a combination ozf swamp gas and fear. Superstition is a strong influence here.”

A year later I returned with my brother, a couple of friends, and a boat-load of equipment. Swamp gas or alien encampment, we were intent on discovering the truth.

It was late afternoon and the Pacific sun warmed our backs as we left the palm-shaded harbor. A steady westbound wind made the ocean

28 April 2016

choppy and my backbone felt the jarring slap of every wave.

Acquiring a vessel for our venture had not been easy. Every boat owner we approached had refused to consider the trip, no matter how high a price we offered. Finally, in desperation, we bought a used boat from the shoreline golf course owner, with the intention of reselling it after our expedition.

My brother Will sat at the motor, his sun-browned arm directing our course across the waves. Beside me sat our friend Ron, and ahead of us, at the bow, was Leon, who had joined our expedition at the last minute. Leon had been only a brief acquaintance before the trip, but the money he brought along allowed us to buy the boat and some of the equipment we needed.

“Looks like any other island,” Will commented behind me as we drew near enough to see the coconut palms and white sand beach. “It’s beautiful here.”

“Maybe we’ll find gold,” Leon added hopefully.

We beached the boat on a rather steep shore and unloaded the equipment. The sun would set in an hour, and I was impatient to get some daylight recordings to compare with the after-sunset recordings later.

Will was carrying an ultra violet sensor rigged to a camcorder that he had put together himself. Ron had brought a light-gathering scope optimized for infrared and paired with a sport camera. We planned to record body mass with a motion detector that swiveled and worked like a radar. Heat readings would be caught with a sensor, but not recorded.

I carried three types of cameras; digital, polaroid, and old fashioned 35mm camera with high ISO film.

The cooler temperatures of late afternoon were pleasant to work in, and we had our equipment up and functioning within ten minutes. The island was only about seven acres in size so we had thoroughly covered it before the sun disappeared behind the horizon. I startled a few birds nesting in the bushes, but that was all the life and activity we discovered.

“Stupid,” was Leon’s disgruntled analysis as he sprawled on the beach with a cheap, local SP beer. He poured the disappointing liquor slowly into the sand and repeated in his native language, “Esta moy stupido.”

“It’s not dark yet,” I replied. “All the stories say the lights appear after the sun sets. Give it five more minutes.”

Will got up and followed me back into the bush, carrying the ultra violet sensor camcorder. I leaned

against a large rock and looked into the thickest part of the island. At first it didn’t register with my brain. I was familiar enough with lens flair to not pay attention to it, but now I was seeing it everywhere and I wasn’t looking through a camera.

Still unsure, I glanced down, into the shadows behind the rock, and distinctly, clearly,

I saw a form swimming in the shadow near my knee. It looked somewhat like a jellyfish.

I was hesitant to alarm it, so instead of shouting, I spoke quietly, trying to make my voice carry across the thirty feet to where Will was standing.

“Will.”

fourcornerswelding.com

“I see them.”

I looked up at the gathering shadows and saw other light forms swimming and floating gracefully.

Some were small, the size of a softball, but shaped more like a floating creature of the sea. Others were larger, the size of a dolphin or seal, and shaped hydrodynamically, as though for speed. None of them were familiar, just vaguely similar to creatures of the sea. Floating. Swimming. Suspended in some fluid we could not see. I watched a long fish-like creature swim into one last ray of sunlight and disappear.

“I’m not getting any readings,” Ron spoke from behind me.

“We gotta leave, guys,” Leon said from the edge of the bush. He was staying as near the boat as he could get without actually leaving us. “We don’t know what’s going on here. We gotta go. This is probably dangerous. Come on.”

“There is no body mass or motion detected,” Ron commented, ignoring Leon. “How is that possible?

Where did they come from?”

“Why do they come out at night?” Will added.

“Where were they before sunset?”

“They’re beautiful,” I whispered, reaching out toward the one at my knee. It moved away a little, obviously aware of me, but not afraid. When I held my hand still, it moved closer again, and slowly I put out a finger and touched it. Or tried to. My finger went right into the body of light, as though it wasn’t there.

“I can’t touch them.” Will said, echoing my thoughts. “My hand goes right through.”

“Don’t touch them, man!” Leon was backing away.

“Remember those other tourists didn’t come back.

We could die here, dudes! Let’s go now, or I’m going without you!”

I looked up and saw more light forms had appeared and were growing brighter in the deepening darkness.

They seemed aware of us and I realized that they were gathering, congregating around us.

“He’s right,” Ron said, his voice growing hoarse. “We don’t know what we’re doing. Jake, Will, let’s go. Now.” The others backed out of the bush, back onto the beach. I put my hand out into the light creatures gathering around me. They seemed to like the palm of my hand. I closed my eyes, trying to sense them, to feel them. I thought there might be a faint tingle in the center of my palm and at the very tips of my fingers. I opened my eyes and saw little jelly-fish-like forms grouped all around my hand, as though they were feeding there.

“Jake!” Leon practically screamed from the boat.

I looked over my shoulder to see the others were all loaded. I turned reluctantly and walked through the

lights to the boat. The whites of Leon and Ron’s eyes reflected the electric blues and greens of the ethereal life forms on the island.

The colors that are still visible at about twenty to thirty meters under the ocean surface, I thought to myself as I shoved the boat into the water, and looked back again. We were forty feet off shore and Will had started the motor when I realized the equipment bag was not in the boat.

“Where’s the bag?” I asked Leon.

“I accidentally left it, man. Forget it. Let’s get out of here.”

“The whole reason we came is to get those recordings,” I protested, slipping overboard. “I’ll go back and get them. Just stay here.”

“Jake!” Will and Ron protested at the same time.

“You’re insane!” Leon shouted. “You’re gonna get us killed!”

I swam until my feet touched bottom and then waded to shore, glad for an excuse to go back again. Dozens of the lights had congregated near the shore and floated there, watching my return. I waded out of the water and bent over to pick up the abandoned equipment bag that lay on the sand. When I straightened up again, I saw a new form, larger than a horse, crouching in front of me.

Crouching, I thought. It was the only form that appeared to be touching the ground. It had four legs and webbed feet, and a body that reminded me of both a large cat and a lizard. The creature’s tail was long and disappeared into the bush behind it. The large, transparent blue eyes stared at me, and for the first time, I felt a chill of fear run down my spine. I sensed intelligence in his gaze. If I was in danger, it would be from this creature, the one who surveyed me now.

“You were here all along, weren’t you?” I whispered.

“The darkness is your light, and in the light you hide.”

Leon was screaming from the boat, insisting that they should leave me and fighting Will for control of the motor. I heard Will take a swing at him, and the sound of the firm connection of fist-and-chin followed by complete silence.

I stared into the blue eyes of the creature before me; understanding seeped into my slow mind at last.

I dropped the equipment bag on the sand and let it lay there. The large creature before me appeared to relax and step back a little.

“Glow in peace,” I said, and smiled at my own attempt at humor. Then I turned around and swam back to the boat.

Weekend Road Trip – Phantom Ranch NUTS & BOLTS OF MAKING IT HAPPEN Over 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon National Park each year.

However, only 1% of those visitors take the epic journey to the bottom of the Canyon.

Of course this takes lots of effort and some dedicated planning. Being from Gallup we can turn this into a memorable weekend adventure. This is what you need to know.

Visit grandcanyonlodges.com as soon as you are able to secure Phantom Ranch arrangements to book your hotel. Staying at the rim of the canyon allows you to leave your car close once you have hiked back out of the Canyon.

Plus, once you are settled at the rim you can do a little exploring and have time to catch a very nice dinner at the El Tovar Restaurant. You can also pick up the batteries for you head lamp, some extra water and the very important (fuel) snacks at the local store. Also, you might check to see what the conditions are at the top of the Bright Angel Trail because you might need to pack some crampons. Make sure you get to bed early because you are going to have an early send off.

Phantom Ranch is located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and offers sleeping and eating accommodations. You are going to have to be flexible on your desired travel weekend since you have to make reservations a year in advance. The reservation office can be reached at 888-297-2757 between the hours of 7:00 am – 7:00 pm Mountain Standard Time. Start your calling on the first day of the month.

THE HIKE DOWN Remember, your mom is always right.

It can get extremely hot and dry during Breakfast is the most important meal of the summer months at the Canyon. So, the day, especially today. Get to the Bright I recommend planning a trip in late fall or Angel Restaurant at 6:00 am for breakfast early spring. All of my trips have been in because you are going to need the extra March or April and the weather has always calories before your hike begins. After seemed to cooperate. It as always began on eating and getting your pack filled with a Friday and finished up on a Sunday for me. water it is going to be around 7:00 am and time to start hiking.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE Leaving from Gallup it takes about I recommend that you begin your journey 6 ½ hours to arrive at the South Rim. down the Canyon using the Bright Angel That includes a stop in Flagstaff for some Trail. It is just over 9 miles long and will lunch and a gas refill. Think about making take you around 6 – 7 hours to reach a reservation at one of the hotels on the Phantom Ranch at a comfortable pace and South Rim. It is better if you can arrange time to enjoy lunch at Indian Gardens. You accommodations at one of the Park’s hotels. are climbing down into the Grand Canyon 30 April 2016

so don’t expect to hit nice flat stretches, because this trail doesn’t have them. Make sure you take time to enjoy the beauty of the Canyon. You are going to see amazing rock faces, beautiful plant life and hopefully some wildlife.

PHANTOM RANCH Eventually you are going to reach the Colorado River and Phantom Ranch. Your dinner reservation is either going to be at 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm. Hopefully you made it down with a few hours to spare before you eat. Take this time to rest and to take a well-deserved shower. Your legs are going to feel all 9 miles of the hike down and you are going to be tired. This would be a great time to pop a few Advil pills into your system.

Dinner is going to be served family style and it is good. The choices are a steak dinner or beef stew. They also have a vegetarian dish for those of you who don’t eat meat.

Remember, you are going to make the eating reservation at the same time you reserve sleeping accommodations.

After dinner get some sleep, and trust me it will not be hard. Breakfast comes early at Phantom Ranch and I recommend getting the 5:30 breakfast reservation. Just like when you started this hike make sure you get plenty to eat because the hike out is straight up.

THE HIKE UP

The South Kaibab Trail is just at 7 miles and will take you about 5 – 6 hours to hike, and that includes a break for lunch. You will not find any water sources on this trail so make sure you fill your pack with all the water you can carry out. Start your journey out as soon as you are done with breakfast.

Your legs or going to be soar and tight on the journey out of the Canyon, so try to not think about how long and far this hike is going to be. Just remember it is one step at a time and keep drinking that water.

The South Kaibab Trail is exposed and you are going to take in lots of sun. It also has several extreme ups and is going to test your physical fitness. You are going to want to take some breaks and look around. Being in the Canyon offers some incredible views and this is something you are going to remember forever. Eventually you are going to reach the top and feel a strong sense of accomplishment.

done you have reached a whole new level of pain. It is going to be afternoon when you reach the top and time to get in your vehicle and head back to Gallup. Make sure you take a few breaks on the way home and get out of the car to stretch.

You are going to have such a good time and memories that this might become an annual adventure for you and your family.

If you have any questions about the trip you can reach me at Jason@gallupjourney.com.

Song for Laughing Eyes A child that grew up in the arms of Corn Mountain, She woke to its majesty each morning …

Her name was Margaret Lewis Edaakie, she was Tsitda (Mother), Hotda (Grandmother), Kya-wu (Sister) and Kuywa (friend). Her Indian name was Laughing Eyes and it was a fitting name for such a beautiful woman who lived her life with purpose and with faith that could move mountains. She was my husbands beloved Grandmother and the memories of her amazing life continue to live inside of him as with the rest of his family.

She was born in Zuni Pueblo, a small village that sits at the foot of Dowa Yallanne (Corn Mountain) in New Mexico. The very essence of this prehistoric place called Zuni can be felt as you climb its mesa’s and breathe the juniper filled air. Laughing Eyes woke to the majesty of Dowa Yallanne each morning; she grew up in the arms of this revered mountain.

The top of this grand mesa, according to the Zuni creation story, is the place where the people took refuge during the great flood.

Ancient petroglyphs tell stories from days of long ago when the ancestors made their home there.

Laughing Eye’s was respected and loved for her unselfish acts of kindness and generosity not only to her immediate family but also extended family and those she called friend. Reservation life had its challenges but there was no task too big or small that she wouldn’t give of her time. She opened her home to anyone in need and generously took care of the poor and disadvantaged. She was a pillar of strength and devotion to all those who knew her.

My sister Antoinette tells a heartfelt story of when she was eleven years old. It was 1957 and there was going to be a square dance at St.Anthony’s school where she attended. Antoinette became sad as the day drew near because she knew she would have to attend the event without a special dress. She couldn’t bring herself to ask for a dress knowing the family didn’t have much money so she remained silent about it. The day of the dance came and that evening Antoinette went to her closet and began to look for something to wear. At that very moment, Grandmother Margaret came in with a fine-looking white dress she had sewn, trimmed with silver ric rack and a stunning white petticoat to go with it. Every stitch was sewn with all the love she could hold in her heart for a sweet Grand daughter. Antoinette said she went to the dance that night feeling like a princess.

Grandmother spent countless hours sewing traditional outfits and applying beadwork to them for her children and grandchildren.

A Grandmother’s love and care can make precious memories to last a life time.

38 April 2016

Grandmother Margaret, Laughing Eyes, was a composer of songs and when she sang, the sound of her voice was that of an angel. She sang traditional songs she had learned from early childhood. Songs for the harvest, songs for the thunder beings and songs for grinding corn. She sang like a song bird that is born to sing a thousand songs.

Laughing Eyes is the author of the famous “Zuni Lullaby” song which tells of a young Indian Mother soothing her little one, which has become an Indian standard.

My husband Fabian spent many nights singing our daughter to sleep with Grandma Song’s. After she’d already been tucked into bed I would hear her call out “Daddy, come and sing me Grandma Song’s.” The first time I heard the voice of Laughing Eyes was when the Library of Congress sent us some of her early recordings from 1946. None of the family had heard her beautiful songs since 1972 and when the CD arrived we all gathered around to listen and there were many tears.

Song for Laughing Eyes From the Album “Out of the Ashes”

A child that grew up in the arms of Corn Mountain She woke to its majesty each morning, In the sleepy Zuni morning

Laughing Eyes was the first woman allowed to sing at the ceremonial opening of the 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair. After the fair, she was summoned to Atlantic City, New Jersey to perform for Queen Elizabeth’s parents. In 1937 Laughing Eyes along with her family dance group from Zuni, the Zuni Rainbow Dancer’s, performed some traditional Zuni dances for the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

During World War II, she sang in the Hollywood Bowl in order to sell war bonds and she also sang in New York at the dedication of the Santa Fe railroad’s El Capitan.

Grandmother Margaret, Laughing eyes, was a seasoned entertainer and performed every summer at the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonials in the Wisconsin Dells along with her family from 1933 until 1972. She was skilled at making exquisite silver and turquoise jewelry and her beadwork was sought after.

It is my sincere desire that the song I wrote for Grandmother Margaret called “Song for Laughing Eyes” will help to nurture the memory of her in the hearts and minds of her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

As you can see, her accomplishments were many and stretched far beyond the boundaries of the Zuni reservation. She was a woman of status and well respected in her community and among her piers. She was truly an ambassador for the village of Zuni it was Margaret Lewis Edaakie. She showed us all that holding onto traditional family values and the power of love and commitment is the glue that holds a family together.

Her hair was as black as a moonless night sky Pulled back by tradition to show her face, The face of innocence They called her Laughing Eyes She could melt the coldest heart They called her Laughing Eyes Laughing Eyes …..

She grew old and wise in the arms of Corn Mountain She sang songs of love to her children She taught them to her children.

They called her Laughing Eye’s She could sing an angel’s song, They call her Laughing Eye’s Laughing Eye’s ….

We still sing your songs …

They called her Laughing Eye’s She could sing an angel’s song, They call her Laughing Eye’s Laughing Eye’s ….

Grandma, sing your beautiful songs …

When all was said and all was done, And the road of life had been well traveled, The Great Mystery gave her rest In the arms of Corn Mountain

The Techno Age RAY TOMLINSON: Does his name mean

anything to you? His recent passing brought him to my attention. Tomlinson is widely regarded to be the primary father of e-mail communications and is the reason why most of us use the ‘@’ symbol nearly every day. In fact, the ‘@’ symbol is typed over 1 billion times each day! Tomlinson’s creation of e-mail earned him a spot in the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012. Did you even know there is an Internet Hall of Fame? I guess we tired of just using the FAX machine and got all excited about e-mail. We started out sharing words, then documents, then photographs, and of course, the jokes. I might still write ‘thank you’ cards by hand, but I cannot tell you the last time I actually sat down and wrote a letter in hand-writing. It is so much easier to shoot off an e-mail that will be received in a snap.

The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written

by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in August of 1962, discussing his “Galactic Network” concept.

He envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site. In spirit, the concept was very much like the Internet of today. Did he have any concept what Bill Gates and Steve Jobs would later create?

THE WORLD WIDE WEB (or www.)

actually came into existence in 1989, having been developed by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee to enable information to be shared at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics near Geneva, Switzerland. (That place in itself sounds very techie.) It subsequently became a platform for related software development, and the numbers of linked computers and users grew rapidly to support a variety of endeavors, including a large business marketplace. Its further development is guided by the WWW Consortium based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. This is probably a bit more precise than most of you care about, but I thought it to be intriguing.

Although I had considerable exposure to system computers in the banking world, I did not have a Personal Computer (PC) until 1997.

I listened to my favorite disc-jockey on the radio each morning and he talked about finding him at www.catfishinthemorning.com. When I hooked up my home PC, I believe that was the first web search that I made. Did Tomlinson, Licklider and Berners-Lee have any idea what they were creating and how it would change lives and the world? I am in awe at what can be found on the Internet (the Net) with just a few key strokes.

And of course, you know that everything you find on the Internet is absolutely true!

Today, we not only have the PC (which is actually becoming obsolete for many), but you have the lap top computers, the tablets, your iPad, and amazingly enough, your pocket telephone; the cell phone that most cannot do without! That little pocket telephone has replaced the home desk phone for many, and is also beginning to replace the need for a computer. It is a major means of communication, sometimes by voice but mostly by texting! If you have a Smart Phone, you can connect to the World Wide Web! That little phone in your pocket does more than a room full of computers did back in 1973!

TEXTING has created a whole new “vocabulary”: TTYL, BRB, ILY, PIR, POS, BTW, and many, many more. Nd if u dont kno what these mean, ask ur teenagr! Unfortunately, 42 April 2016

texting is taking away the ability to verbally communicate, to write a proper sentence and the use of appropriate spelling. The use of abbreviated words is so common in texting, but also, your Smart Phone can predict the next word for you, so you don’t even have to think! I have arthritis in one thumb, and it won’t allow me to thumb-type on my phone. I am jealous of those who do, but I bet when they are older; all that thumb-use will give them arthritis, too! Is that revenge, justice, or just plain sad? Unless you go deep into the wilderness, you are always reachable. If you don’t answer your phone, you will likely get a text message and if you don’t answer that right away, they will probably try contacting your friends. Privacy and alone-time is becoming non-existent, unless you (GASP!) turn off the phone or leave it at home!

If you don’t have some type of Social Media account today, you are just not in the loop! There is Facebook which was originally created for college students, but everyone uses it now, also Google Plus, CafeMom, Gather, Fitsugar or Ello. You can tweet on Twitter, you can pin on Pinterest, share photos on Instagram and Flickr. If you want to create a mini-video, then go to YouTube, Vimeo or Viddler and upload your antics of the day or become famous with your newest band and song recording. Diaries are a thing of the past, but if you like keeping track of your day’s activities, you now can Blog at WordPress, Blogger or Squarespace to record your thoughts and drama. Why watch television or read a book when you just want mindless entertainment; you can play a multitude of games like Farmville, Candy Crush, Mahjong, Angry Birds, Words With Friends, Ninja Saga, etc., etc., etc. If you have a charged telephone in your hand, you never have to just relax while waiting in a doctor’s office or in line at the drive-thru. You can even watch movies or a television series on your phone or computer. Techno Entertainment is just a touch away! Honestly, I do generally carry my current paperback book when I know I will be waiting, but when I forget the book, I rely on my phone to entertain me. Yeah, I have not let go of my books yet. I like the feel of actually licking my thumb and turning a page. But you can get many types of eReaders to download books electronically

My desk photo to your KindleFire, Nook, Kobo, or iPad. I am just not sure I can digest all those options yet.

There are ratings sites that include Amazon Ratings and Angie’s List. You can use these sites to learn about a product or service. If you want to sell an item, go to Craig’s List. Traveling? Go to one of the many map services like MapQuest, Google Maps, MapNAll to find and download your directions. You can even go on-line to get a satellite view of your house by typing in your address at a satellite link.

Being married, I certainly have not ventured onto any of the dating sites, but there is a large variety there: dating for Seniors, dating for Farmers, dating for those over 50, dating for Christians, dating within the Jewish faith, dating for Blacks, dating for Single Parents. If you are looking for a dating opportunity, there is a perfect on-line dating site just waiting for you to sign up.

Just take a look and you may find your ‘soul mate’!

My computer can actually be used for work and creativity, too. Thanks to Bill Gates, I have Microsoft Office, which includes Word for writing, Excel for spreadsheets, PowerPoint for presentations, Publisher for newsletters, posters and flyers, OneNote for jotting thoughts or saving links. All the typing classes and business machine classes I took in high school provided me with proficiency in fast typing and ten-key number entry. I love using Photoshop for all my photography work. Over many years, I have been a National Newsletter Editor, a local newsletter editor for a non-profit and for a motorcycle club; which is how I learned to use Publisher. I have

w

used Excel for tracking mailing lists, logging monetary donations, creating invoices. I took a class at the Public Library for PowerPoint, and I have done a few such presentations. I even have a Hallmark program for making my own greeting cards and invitations. I previously mentioned writing letters; I use Word for the correspondence I prepare. With the exception of PowerPoint, I am self-taught on all the Office programs. I am not sure you would call me adept, but I can certainly find my way around the applications.

THE TECHNO-WORLD does not have to be intimidating. If you want to learn you just need to jump in and start playing, or dialing the phone, texting a message, or type a letter. There are always ‘help pages’ to assist and guide you, plus there is usually a teenager who will sigh with exasperation and show you what to do next.

In my office corner, I have a rather large desk that holds my desk-top computer, printer, calculator, music speakers, and unbelievably, an old fashioned Rolodex that contains names and addresses that are also entered into an Excel spreadsheet. Some things are hard to let go of. Having been a banker for 25 years, I am comfortable at my desk. I would probably rather be here at my desk than in my recliner chair. It is my comfort zone. After all, where else can I find all my closest friends? They live in my computer!

For being on the smaller side, Gallup provides a significant amount of opportunities to buy from businesses that are locally run and operated. Bubary Insurance is one of those opportunities. After being founded in Gallup by George Bubany in 1946, it was passed through a number of owners until in 2006, it was bought by the Taira family. It is now one of the largest insurance companies in northern New Mexico.

Bubany Insurance prides themselves on their expansive services. In 2011 they purchased Lucas Vigil insurance agency, and they merged with Carney Vidal insurance in 2015. Now with ten staff members, they have about 200 years of combined experiences. “We’ve seen it all,” said owner Kevin Taira. Because of the size, Bubany

Insurance has access to a number of assets and it has the ability to provide for all insurance needs and cases. “We are a full service Insurance company. We do it all,” said Kevin, “We can provide for the most unique cases and all of this is offered right here in the local community. We also have multilingual staff members that can easily aid anyone in Navajo and Spanish.”

Veteran’s Corner

Run For The Wall In the fall of 1987, Artie Muller and Ray Manzo, two Vietnam veterans met to discuss their personal concerns about the POW/MIA’s from the Vietnam War. They were deeply troubled by the abhorrent neglect of attention given to those who did not make it out with their lives or their freedom. These veterans discussed the more than 10,000 reported sightings of live Americans living in dismal captivity. These two were ordinary men who understood that they had a right to have their voices heard and proceeded to lay down the plans for a gathering in Washington, D.C. during the 1988 Memorial Day weekend.

Word spread quickly and by Memorial Day weekend in 1988, approximately 2,500 motorcycles from all over the country converged on Washington, D.C. to demand from our leaders a full accounting of all POW/MIA’s.

James “Gunny” Gregory and Bill Evans heard about this Rolling Thunder gathering in Washington, D.C. and decided to put together a group of motorcycle riders who were also Vietnam Veterans to make a Run to participate in Rolling Thunder and to visit the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Thus, in 1989, Run For The Wall was established with a small group of motorcyclists/veterans who understood the concerns about the POW/MIA’s who should not be forgotten.

48 April 2016

In Gallup May 19, 2016

What started out as a Run to bring awareness to the POW/MIA issue also turned into an opportunity for healing amongst all veterans, a chance for the Vietnam Veterans to receive a ‘Welcome Home’ and to start the healing process, plus the occasion to spread good will and education. Not only did the Vietnam War vets find healing amongst themselves, but after several years the Vietnam Veterans began aiding the healing of younger vets from Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom wars. There is a very special camaraderie between veterans of all eras.

There have been as many as 300 riders participating in the Central Route of Run For The Wall. It is an exactly regimented ride with strict timelines and many months of preparation to establish overnight accommodations, gas stops and meal venues. Most meals are donated to the riders and there are even some opportunities for free fuel. There is also opportunity to visit VA Hospitals and its patients, plus many Veteran’s Memorials; the most touching of which is at Angel Fire, New Mexico. Every move of the group is orchestrated for the 10-day trek to Washington, D.C. and The Wall. It is the only coast to coast motorcycle event in the U.S. where the riders ride in double-file; two abreast, in order to make a statement of solidarity for The Mission. Besides the Central Route, there are

two other routes; the Southern Route and the Midway Route. The Run starts in Rancho Cucamonga, California, with each of the three groups breaking off for their respective travel on the way to The Wall.

Since about 1995, Run For The Wall has made Gallup, New Mexico an overnight stop. In the beginning they received a spaghetti meal and stayed in inexpensive motels or camped at the KOA campground. That first year, each of the campers were charged $5 to pitch their tent. Upon finding out why the campers were there, Mr. Gene Dolney, owner of the KOA, personally returned their $5 fee to them and thanked them for their service and for what they were doing on The Run. Thereafter, all Run For The Wall participants camped at the KOA for free. Mr. Dolney was very patriotic and we wonder if this event had any bearing on his changing the name of the KOA to USA RV Park?

Through the evolution of the years, the Gallup participants have been treated to sit-down dinners with tablecloths and linen napkins at our larger hotel venues. One very momentous event from 2000 was when Gallup Medal of Honor Recipient, Hershey Miyamura was honored. The placemats at each plate-setting had a photo of Mr. Miyamura when he was presented the Medal of Honor by President Eisenhower. After the dinner most of the Vietnam Veterans wanted Mr. Miyamura’s autograph on the placemat. Hershey Miyamura, being the great man that he is, would sign each placemat, then stand up to salute and shake the hand of every single one of the veterans that came before him (which was probably close to 200). It was a very poignant sight that many still talk about today.

For the last several years, as the contingent of riders and guests has grown, the gathering is now held at Red Rock Park. The local Lions Club members place American Flags all along the road into the park. The Gallup Fire Department uses two ladder trucks to raise a giant American Flag which the group rides under. Plus most of the riders fly American Flags and POW/MIA flags on their motorcycles. It is quite a sight to see all the patriotism as the riders, wearing the patches of RFTW and the patches of their service, rumble into Red Rock Park.

It will definitely give you goose bumps and likely bring tears to your eyes.

Gallup has become a favorite and much-anticipated stop for the RFTW riders. Our local Veterans Helping Veterans has a T-Shirt designed each year by local artist Johnny Blueyes. All the guests at the event clamor to purchase the beautiful native-design shirts; many buy more than one shirt. During the day, the Black Creek Gourd Society will host two gourd dances. One starts at noon, which honors local veterans and supporters, and the second dance is held for the RFTW riders. Any veteran or other attendee is encouraged to participate in the Gourd Dance. It is common that members of the Black Creek Gourd Society will present a few honored veterans with ceremonial shawls. Legend has it that the Gourd Dance was a ceremony to honor the warriors as they were riding off to war on their fierce equine steeds; thus, it is fitting that our Black Creek Gourd Society are now honoring the warriors riding their iron steeds. The dance and ceremonies have been known to last into late evening. The many warriors, exhausted from the long ride of the day, and also the powerful emotions of the Gourd Dance, will then retire to their respective beds for a good night’s sleep.

RFTW Mission Statement: To promote healing among ALL veterans and their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our military personnel all over the world.

It has happened that a new participant in RFTW, called an “FNG” will arrive at their start of The Run; they are all closed up and hesitant to take on this event. At registration, a new person to The Run will receive an “FNG” pin (we call it the ‘Funny New Guy’ pin), usually in a bright neon color. This is a beacon to the established participants that the FNG needs guidance and extra love. There are long-time participants who take it upon themselves to “adopt” the FNG. It is often a very frightening and uncertain move to go to The Wall for the first time. These FNG’s are always accompanied by their new friends to make this first visit to The Wall. A hand on the shoulder, a big hug, tears and camaraderie are the company for the first visit and often for many more to come.

By the end of The Run, these FNG’s have found a brotherhood with their fellow veterans and the supporters. They have a new outlook and have been able to shed some of the nightmares of war.

You can see more about Run For The Wall at www.rftw.org. There is a listing of all the overnight stops for each of the three groups, an itinerary for every day of the event, a listing of all the designated hotels or campgrounds. This is a life-changing event and should be experienced by every veteran and supporter.

There is still time for you to make your plans and preparations; to ready your motorcycle, to book your accommodations, to arrange your vacation time and to set your mind to Run For The Wall!

Whether you are a local veteran of any era, or a patriotic supporter of our veterans, please plan to attend the events at Red Rock Park on May 19, 2016.

The riders are scheduled to arrive at 3:00pm, with ceremonies and the Gourd Dance to follow. But get there early! You don’t want to miss the grand entrance.

Walking In Beauty

Health In The Land of Enchantment

In this space there will be a variety of local writers who will share their perspectives on health, lifestyle, and medicine. This month’s article is written by Therapy Mobz “Where Movement Heals.”

Honey Allergy You are buried in a mountain of tissue and your sinuses cycle from a dripping faucet to virtual packed clay soil.

Yes…it’s allergy season.

AND IT SUCKS. Personally I’d rather drink gasoline and relieve myself on a brushfire than endure another 8 weeks of Kleenex combat, drugged out anti-histimine commas, or dangerous steriod usage. I’ve actually considered planning my vacations around this time of year simply to gain a week or two of clarity in the heat of the this battle.

I’ve tried just about everything from Claritin-Allegras to herbal homeopathy to kenalog steroids that damaged my adrenal glands.

The only thing that was effective was the steroids, unfortunately jacking your entire endocrine system up to relieve allergies isn’t exactly a great deal (Seriously read about steroid side effects before consenting to the needle…it’s crazy) SO NOW WHAT? The next logical step on this allergy train is to get immunotherapy.

This is where you go to an allergy specialist and get shots regularly of the actual pollen that you are allergic to and your body will slowly adapt to that allergen and, after time, no longer trigger an allergic response. The only problem with this concept is that it means regular trips to ABQ and probably about $3500 out of my checkbook.

Being the cheap person that I am I’ve decided to try my own version of immunotherapy. It’s been long know that eating local honey year round can help alleviate allergies based on the same principal as allergy shots. Basically local bees gather local pollen which is in their honey and you eat it and get used to it.

The problem is that I am allergic to Juniper pollen. Probably most people who have allergies this time of year are allergic to Juniper as well. This is the main pollen in our area for this time of year.

Unfortunately trees aren’t flowers and bees don’t necessarily hang out in juniper, so the local honey of our area probably won’t have much juniper pollen in it and therefore won’t help you adapt.

MY SOLUTION TO THIS is to simply buy any honey and add juniper pollen into it.

I will then eat the honey everyday for the next year and 12 months from now I will see if there is any improvement in my miserable condition. The issue with this is that finding juniper pollen is extremely difficult. I’ve looked on the web hoping to buy a jar of it, but it’s simply not available.

Because of this I’ve resorted to duct taping furnace filters to the back of box fans and simply running them in my house. The filters collect pollen out of the air which I can then extract and put in honey. The problem is that the filters collect everything: dirt, bacteria, dead skin, etc…, and I am not sure that I want to eat that ( it could be worse than the steroids.). Juniper pollen is also lighter than dust it literally floats in the air and is hard to settle, so I am mystified at how to collect it cleanly.

This is where I make a public plea. I am told that Native Americans are excellent pollen collectors, is there ANYONE out there that can collect juniper/cedar pollen for me? I am willing to make it worth your time (a.k.a. $$$). If you, or anyone you know has experience collecting pollen give me a call and let’s work out a deal.

Email me at gallupjourney@gmail.com or call 505-240-7678.

And may all our allergies die like spring winds that feed them.

FORGIVENESS

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Martin Luther King, Jr

I don’t like to forgive. It is much easier to hate. “Haters gonna hate” as that great philosopher, Taylor Swift has said. But the greatest people on earth have implored us to forgive one another.

Christians say it every time they pray the Lord’s Prayer. This is the season of forgiveness. One person, Jesus Christ, forgave all of us for our sins forever. We celebrate his death and resurrection every Easter season.

One of the hardest things to do is to accept someone’s request for forgiveness. But there is a freedom when you do and let that hurt go. A sense of relief can come over you. A chapter in your life can come to an end, and you can move on to bigger and better things. More importantly the same effect happens to the one seeking the forgiveness.

As a Catholic I go to confession. It can be a beautiful experience.

It is not always fun, but it reduces the rationalization that we humans naturally employ when talking to God. Last Thanksgiving I had a horrible toothache, and my dentist was out of town. When the pain was at its highest, I promised God all kinds of things – if the pain would just go away. What is great about confession is that you talk to a priest who is an instrument of Christ. It is much more difficult to rationalize your sins when you are talking to another person. You must examine your conscience and be as specific as possible.

Several years ago my son Michael (about 12 then) and I were standing in line for confession. That day there was a priest we did not know hearing confessions. Michael went first and came out several minutes later to proclaim, “Be careful, dad. That priest asks questions.” After I stopped laughing, I took my turn. It is not always easy to confess, but the relief that comes from a good confession is real. I have to go often.

One of the best examples of forgiveness occurred over a hundred years ago. A young Italian girl named Maria Goretti is the youngest canonized saint. She died in 1902 at the age of eleven. Her father died of malaria when she was nine, and her mother and her five siblings moved to a farm south of Rome. She worked at home and helped raise her youngest sister while her Mom and siblings worked on a farm to support the family. She also cooked and cleaned at a neighbor’s house, the Sorenellis. Alessandro Sorenelli, their 20 year old son, was attracted to Maria and for many months tried to take advantage of her. She resisted, but one day he physically attacked her, and when she refused his advances, he stabbed her repeatedly.

The next day Maria died. Before she died, she said, “I forgive Alessandro Sorenelli. I want him to be in Heaven with me.”

Alessandro went to prison for thirty years for his crime, and he reported that Maria appeared to him and forgave him. From that day forward he lived a good life, and after he served his sentence, he became a Franciscan brother and worked in a monastery as a gardener. After his release, he approached Maria’s mother and asked for forgiveness. Maria’s mother said, “If Maria can forgive you, so can I.” (and she did.)

Maria’s act of forgiveness became known throughout Italy. A cause for canonization was begun in 1935, and in 1950 she was 56 April 2016

Maria Goretti

made a saint. There were so many people that wanted to attend the canonization that it was held for the first time in St. Peter’s Square. Almost all of them are now held outside, but this was the first one. It is estimated that a half a million people attended the event. Her mother was still alive and was present. So was her attacker Alessandro, now a Franciscan brother. Many miracles have been attributed to Maria Goretti, the little eleven year old girl, who forgave her attacker.

Now what about us? Are we ready to forgive? In my line of work, I hear almost daily stories of families in turmoil because of the failure of family members and neighbors to forgive one another. Some people have not spoken to each other for years. As hard as it is, we all have a responsibility to try to forgive those who have injured us. They might not accept it, but we still should try. It won’t change what happened in the past, but it should make you a better person. We don’t know how much time we have left here. It is your turn. Happy Easter!

LAUGHING DOG KENNEL Stop by or call 505-863-DOGS (505-863-3647) to make reservations for your pet’s stay Having our fur-babies well cared for when we travel is of major importance to all pet lovers.

We now have a wonderful new service in LAUGHING DOG KENNELS. Located at 105 Dean Street in Gallup (just off Route 66), Jenny Kline and Libby Nickerson are ready to take care of your beloved pet. Stop by or call 505-863-DOGS (505-863-3647) to make reservations for your pet’s stay.

You will find a clean and warm facility for boarding your dogs or cats in a safe environment. They also offer day care for your pet if you do not want to leave your fur-baby home alone during the day. The facility boasts a fully fenced yard with 8 ft. high chain-link fencing for outdoor play time, plus a cat room, a small dog room, and a large dog room with guillotine doors to allow the dog indoor- outdoor time.

As you enter the front door, you will find a large room designed with a fenced area where dogs can play and socialize. Should your pet require medications or special treatment, there is no additional charge beyond the boarding fees. All animals must be current on vaccinations and proof must be provided. It is standard policy that you will provide your own food for your pet. It is important that your pet stays on its current food diet so as not to create health issues. All boarders will receive one-on-one play time and socialization, plus light manner’s training for indoors and outdoors. The kennels are cleaned regularly of feces and urine so that your animal is housed in a clean and 58 April 2016

comfortable environment.

Jenny Kline is very proud of the largedog kennels which were hand-built by Johnny Fuhs. He did a superb job on the structures which will not allow any improper escapes. Johnny also installed the chain-link fencing and did much remodeling to the interior of the facility to make it bright and welcoming.

Currently, Libby is handling grooming duties for the dogs. She is fully qualified to take care of all aspects of grooming for any dog breed. Jenny, who has been grooming since 1984, will provide those services as well, when the demand increases.

Puppy Training Classes will be available in three levels. The first class (Level One) will start on March 19 and meet once a week for eight weeks. Classes will be one hour long per week for eight weeks. Cost is $120.00 plus tax for the eight week set.

Puppies will be required to have at least the first two puppy shots and must be healthy and free of disease to participate in class with their human. Check in with Laughing Dog Kennels to learn when the next training class set will start.

Jenny has been dreaming about this venture for quite some time, and she is excited to have it come to fruition. Jenny

and Libby have both previously worked at an Animal Clinic and each has extensive training in animal care. They are well aware that there is a huge need for high-quality pet care.

We wish to congratulate Jenny and Libby on this great new business. We know it will be a tremendous success for them and it is also a much-needed service for all of us with fur-babies.

Downtown Gallup Comcast Cares Day April 30, 2016 Comcast Cares Day is a celebration of Comcast’s year-round commitment to service, and has grown to become the nation’s largest single-day corporate volunteer event. In 2015, more than 100,000 volunteers improved more than 900 parks, schools, beaches, senior centers and other vital community sites. Since 2001, more than 700,000 Comcast NBCUniversal employees, their friends, family members and our community partners have volunteered more than 4 million service hours at nearly 6,800 projects in communities across the United States and around the world.

On April 30 please join Gallup Business Improvement District, Gallup MainStreet Arts & Cultural District and Comcast volunteers to perform a Spring Clean Up of Downtown Gallup.
