NEWS Remembering the legacy of Joel Peterson FOUNDER OF MANUELITO CHILDREN’S HOME

By Cody Begaye Sun Correspondent

W

i l d T h i n g Cha mpionship Bull Riding is set to begin July 12.

The staple summer event could be a somewhat somber time for family members and colleagues of Joel Peterson, who passed away last fall.

“It’s been rough on us, losing him,” WildThing organizer Larry Peterson said June 25.

Manuelito Children’s Home holds one of its most important and biggest fundraisers of the year serving concessions and offering parking for WildThing, according to both school staff and Larry Peterson. “[WildThing] is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the ch ild ren’s home,” Larry Peterson said. “He [Joel Peterson] always loved the fact

we were. WildThing has a great economic impact for Gallup.

But the more important thing is it helps the children’s home.”

The children’s home was Joel Peterson’s dream-and his legacy.

Joel Peterson was one of the founders of Manuelito Children’s Home, currently located west of Gallup at 12 Theta Dr. He served on its board for over 50 years.

Peterson, or igina lly of Floresville, Tex., served in the military during World War II. He eventually worked as a teacher at Gallup High School and served as an elder for more than 40 years at the Gallup Church of Christ.

administrator of Manuelito Children’s Home for the past 10 years, said it was working with the kids from the home at Gallup Martial Arts that drew him to the home.

Christian said he served on the home board before he became an employee 12 years ago. He said that he told the staff he wished he could help full-time, and the opportunity for him to do so soon followed.

An important part of working at the home is creating a comfortable atmosphere for the children, he said.

“The sign says, ‘home,’ and that’s what we want it to feel like for the kids,” Christian said.

Nor ma n Atchison, who serves as public relations for the home, also emphasized that the goal is to make the living space feel more like a home than a dormitory.

“We want the houses to be

like a home for the kids,” he said. “The houseparents take care of the kids, and try and help them as much as we can.”

Behind the home office, visitors can see three different houses used for living space.

One of them is for boys, another is for girls, and the third is for relief, Atchison said.

Next to the houses is Gallup Christian School. Children at Manuelito Children’s Home attend classes there, along with a number of children from town. The grounds also feature a gymnasium and playground for daily activities and an on-campus pantry, which accepts food donations, Atchison added.

In all, the home and school take up about 28 acres and currently accommodate about 20 youngsters, Atchison said. He

County discusses ‘Vision 2020’ comprehensive plan PLAN TARGETS KEY AREAS FOR GROWTH

By Cody Begaye Sun Correspondent

A

fter over a year of development, the final draft of the McKinley County Vision 2020 Comprehensive Pla n wa s presented to the Board of Commissioners during their recent regular meeting by the Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments, July 9.

NNMCG works with the region’s local governments to

support community development, promote strategic innovation and propel regional competitiveness, according to their website.

Last year, NNMCG also pa r ticipated i n McK i n ley County Day, hosted the interim Legislative Finance Committee in Gallup in May, and increased their funding for the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial up to $77,000.

Angelina Grey, associate planner for NNMCG, said the

comprehensive plan is a roadmap for the county, put together through extensive planning by the council.

“The goal of the plan is to identify strategies and opportunities to establish short-term and long-term goals for where the county should go,” she said.

This means figuring out how to best use county assets and resources for investments in projects.

The plan also calls for creating economic opportunities

for local citizens through these projects.

One example of NNMCG working with and for local initiatives is the current state of Coal Avenue Commons. Last year, the City of Gallup along with gallupARTS and NNMCG received a $150,0 0 0 O ur Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The project helped Coal Avenue be redesigned as an event street.

NNMCG also contributed to the construction of Gallup Skate Park, assisting legislators and the city by raising over $350,000 in legislative and other grants on behalf of the City of Gallup for construction.

Grey said a series of public

input workshops was held from June to November last year where NNMCG sought input on how to structure the plan and what areas to target.

Out of these workshops, Grey determined that some of the top priorities for the plan

City council discusses plastic bag usage survey

POTENTIAL LITTERING SOLUTIONS INCLUDE BANNING BAGS, SWITCHING MATERIALS

By Cody Begaye Sun Correspondent

T

he Gallup City Council discussed the results of a survey about the potential regulation of single-use plastic bags July 9, during its recent regular meeting.

The sur vey, hosted on SurveyMonkey by the City of Gallup’s legal department, asked a number of questions concerning the issues that other local communities have voiced in regards to the use of plastic bags.

One hundred twenty six responses were recorded, according to the meeting agenda.

City Attorney Curtis Hayes said the survey was conducted to ensure that a potential ordinance regulating single-use plastic bags received adequate publ ic feedback before enactment.

“We wanted the survey questions to be neutral, but also informative,” Hayes said.

The first survey question stated that a number of cities and states have banned the use of single-use high density polyethylene plastic bags by most businesses.

Arguments in favor of these bans include plastic bags being a large portion of visible litter, and that they are rarely recycled and harmful to birds and marine life.

co s t mor e t h a n HDPE bags, but are also likely to end up as visible litter.

Of the 126 responses, 73 percent were in favor of the City of Ga llup ba n n ing HDPE si ngle -use bags for most businesses.

The second question asked

if the City of Gallup should require retailers with more than 10,000 square feet of space to take in plastic bags for recycling. Out of 124 responses, 53 percent said yes.

The third question involved the use of single-use bioplastic bags made from starches or polylactic acid instead of HDPE. Despite being made

from renewable materials, bioplastic bags carry the same benefits and drawbacks of HDPE bags, according to the survey.

Out of 126 responses, 70 percent said the City of Gallup should not require large retailers to use bioplastic bags instead of HDPE bags.

Dist. 2 Councilor Allan Landavazo asked how the change of material could affect the litter currently strewn across the countryside.

“A possible issue is the new material may not break down like the current material,” Hayes said.

However, Hayes said bags made from a different material may be more likely to be reused or disposed of in other ways.

The fourth question asked if certain businesses should be exempt from a potential ban on plastic bags. These businesses include restaurants, non-profit organizations, or farmers’ markets. Of the 71 answers, 45 percent said restaurants

questions, arguments against these bans state, high-density polyethylene bags constitute less than one percent of landfill waste, and alternatives, such as heavy plastic or paper bags,

PLASTIC | FROM PAGE 8 should be exempt. Thirty-four percent said non-profits should be exempt. Twenty-one percent said farmers’ markets should be exempt.

Survey takers were free to comment personally on the fourth question. Here’s what they said: • Reusable bags across the board.

• None - all should be required to use alternatives like paper.

• None. No bags PERIOD!!!

• No exemptions. Ban plastic bags!

• All. For the love of God, please don’t ban plastic bags.

The fifth survey question

Interstate 40, around mile post 55, near Thoreau.

The body was identified as pedestrian, Ferland Johnson, 23. He appeared to have died after being hit by an unknown vehicle, possibly during the early morning hours of July 2.

The case remains under investigation by state police with assistance from the Crash Reconstruction Unit.

Anyone with knowledge about this incident is asked to contact the New Mexico State Police at (505) 841-9526.

asked if certain types of products should be exempt from the plastic bag ban. Of 80 responses, 63 percent said food products should be exempt, 21 percent said laundry products, 15 percent said pharmacy products, and one percent said alcohol should be exempt.

This question also allowed user comments, some of which included: • America did quite well without plastics.

• None.

• Why ban bags, why not ban all the trash thrown on the road like beer cartons!

• All of these.

The last two questions asked if the customer should either be charged a fee or tax

at the time of sale for a bag or container provided by the retailer. The fee would be 10 cents, while the tax was not specified in the survey.

Survey takers were split on the notion of a 10-cent fee, with 51 percent of users saying “no,” while 49 percent of users said “yes.”

As for a tax, users were less receptive to the idea. Sixty-five percent of responses turned it down, while 35 percent gave their consent.

Dist. 4 Councilor Fran Palochak said there is already a system of paying extra for plastic bags in place in Santa Fe, and that most people are happy

State police investigate Gallup police use-offorce incident Staff Reports

O

n June 28, the New Mexico State Police Investigations Bu reau wa s contacted to investigate a useof-force incident involving an intoxicated male and the Gallup Police Department.

St ate Pol ice a gent s learned on June 28 around 8:30 pm, GPD officers were d i s p a t c h e d t o t h e J. C. Penney to remove an intoxicated male. The male was later identified as Rodney Lynch, 41, of Gallup. Lynch was combative with the officers on scene. He was taken into custody and transported to Na’Nizhoozhi Center, Inc. When they arrived at NCI, Lynch struck one of the officers and again became combative.

As the officers attempted to gain control of Lynch, a sergeant and an additional officer, both of GPD, arrived.

The sergeant noticed that Lynch appeared unconscious.

The officers started first aid on Lynch and called for

EMS, who transported Lynch to an area hospital. Lynch was then transported to an Albuquerque hospital, where he later died and was pronounced by the Office of the Medical Investigator.

This case is still under investigation by the New Mex ico State Police Investigations Bureau. The cause and manner of Lynch’s death is under investigation by the OMI. The names of the officers involved will not be released by State Police. At the conclusion of their investigation, it will be sent to the appropriate district attorney for review.

Capt. Erin Toadlena-Pablo, public information officer for GPD, said July 9 the officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave with pay as the investigation continues.

“The department is aware of the NMSP [statement] and have no further information about the NMSP investigation, and therefore cannot comment,” Toadlena-Pablo said.

You can only do so much at one time. Be patient! You may feel the walls crashing in, and it will feel like failure, but really it’s just a warning. Try again.

You’ve been liberated and you’re moving on. Now, it’s time to think about the next stage. It’s easy to get bogged down in the details of life, but you’re also focused on the future. What about the here and now? Don’t forget to live while you’re living. You can’t just focus on the facts. You need to see everything as it is and stay grateful.

You’ll score a big hit or die trying.

This may not be the best or most advantageous decision. You can’t just keep rolling over everyone and hoping that it will all balance out in the end. It won’t. It’s better if you live up to the expectations you set for yourself and allow others to live according to their own. You’re awesome, but so is everybody else. YAY!

You are capable of doing such great things in this world.

Don’t lose faith in yourself. It’s easy to do and everyone gets a little trapped and bummed out, sometimes. But you will get through this. You too can fight through the bog of unrequited dreams to live the life that’s even better than you ever thought possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again (or maybe quit). It’s good to push through. It’s also really good to quit. Remember to quit with intention rather than just being reactionary. You can do this in a smart and clever way. Think through all the possibilities and consider what you want out of life.

Take action when you’re ready.

The trick is though, you may never be ready. GO!

Careful, your sensitivity is showing. Now is a time for sensitive feelings. This might feel a bit overwhelming, especially in the chaos of day-to-day life.

There is no time like the present to withdraw in a healthy way from some things. Instead focus on your own needs. It’s going to be just fine. Search within and discover. You’ll get through this!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might find yourself at the end of a very long road this week. Try not to get too confident, you aren’t home yet. The end of a challenge or project can always be the most draining and rewarding. It would serve you well to rest and remain positive. When one road ends, another one begins.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There is more to what meets the eye than you believe. It’s easy to assume that what you see is what you get, but there are layers.

You may feel rushed to get the answers, but this is not necessary.

Take your time and breathe deeply. Just because someone else is panicking, doesn’t mean you need to jump. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on mine.

Friday July 12, 2019 • Gallup Sun

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Things are looking up! You have your hands full, but you’re raring to go. Now is the time to take things seriously, and at the same time, in stride. You’ve got it all worked out. Don’t forget to stay humble and listen to others when you can. It’s better to make friends than enemies, but remember that if you correct a fool, he will hate you. If you correct a wise man, he will thank you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It’s money management week, Sagittarius. Break out those statements and give them a review. Are there forgotten recurring charges you need to cancel? If you don’t know a bond from a mutual fund, start sharpening up your fiscal IQ. Ask people you trust to recommend a financial planner who can help you create a savvy budget that covers your expenses and grows funds for a secure future. But no one’s saying you can’t indulge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ve got a tough decision to make. These are the kind of good decisions that are really important. Also, how lucky are you that you get to decide what you want to do next in your life.

It’s easy to get bogged down in the minutiae, but it’s not as important as you think. In fact, it’s the living of life that’s important. Make a great decision and live well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Get out of your rut. Get out there and experience the wonder and beauty of the world around you.

It’s amazing when you’re doing what you love. But even the best of the best take breaks, naps, and go traveling. Just get out there and have some fun. GO! OPINIONS

Letter to the Editor: Nuclear waste remains active concern in McKinley County

E

ditor, If Holtec International has its way, high-level radioactive waste (“spent fuel”) from Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in New York and almost 100 other reactor sites in the U.S. would be transported on America’s highways and brought to southern New Mexico for “interim storage” although in my own view, this is a false narrative that is countered by the example of the Yucca Mountain repository and the site(s) will be permanent.

Permanent because the spent fuel will have to be moved again if another repository site is found. The Yucca Mountain project began in 1982 after the passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act that requires “the establishment of a deep geologic repository for nuclear waste storage and isolation.”

In 1987 Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the only site to be considered.

The Wester n Shoshone nation has been in resistance of this action and has questioned

the U.S. government’s decision based on the Treaty of Ruby Valley in 1863 and the violation of their Treaty rights. All treaties are legal contracts that emanate from International Law that establish a formal government-to-government relationship between tribes and the United States.

The Navajo Nation has the Treaty of 1868 and a Permanent Ban on the transportation of all things nuclear through the reservation. Five other cities in New Mexico (Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Las Cruces, Jal, and Lake Arthur) have passed resolutions in opposition to this transportation on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Interstate 40, which would pass through the City of Gallup, McKinley County, the State of New Mexico and the Southern border of the Navajo Nation.

On Tuesday, September 25, 2018, the Gallup City Council passed a Resolution No. 2018-27 that opposes the transportation of high-level radioactive waste through the City via I-40 and

Forty-five projects will be fu nded ba sed on two categories.

In the first category, 28 projects from 11 states were selected to share $7.5 million with each project receiving up to $300,000 in federal funding and having a completion timeframe of less than two years.

The second category consists of 17 projects from seven states, sharing $21.5 million.

These projects are receiving up to $1.5 million in federal funding and will be completed within three years.

As a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I’ll keep fighting for strong federal investment to live up to our trust responsibility and to ensure that Native communities can continue to engage in smart, sustainable water management.”

“We must do all we can to conserve and responsibly put our limited water supplies to good use,” Heinrich said. “The Navajo Agricultural Products Industry does this by growing the food we eat and supporting hundreds of jobs on the Navajo Nation.

You are invited to join us at the 40th Commemoration of the July 16, 1979 North East Church Rock, New Mexico Uranium Tailings Spill that released over 1,000 tons of solid radioactive mill waste and more than 90 million gallons of acidic and radioactive liquids into the Rio Puerco. The contaminants flowed downstream the Rio Puerco through Gallup and across nine Navajo chapters and into Arizona.

To this day there has been no reclamation or U.S. governmental studies to see how far the contamination went and its impacts on local water systems and people’s health and United Nuclear Corporation has not been held accountable for the spill.

On Saturday, July 13th, there will be a 7:00 am walk to the UNC spill site to offer healing prayers and testimonies by

the community of Red Water Pond Road. Following the walk people will gather under the shaded Arbor for food, community education, speeches, and a silent auction.

“I don’t want to get into the kind of government that’s mandating the private sector,” he said.

McKinney said the problem goes beyond whether or not retailers provide bags.

“The problem is we live in a society that throws all their trash on the streets,” he said.

To this end, he added a potential solution would be to educate the public on the consequences of littering and get them to change how they dispose of their trash.

The emergency rules will take effect on the same day as the Hemp Manufacturing Act, August 1. It allows for the transportation, warehousing,

extraction and manufacture of hemp and hemp-derived products, including food and body products. Enactment of emergency rules will allow hemp processing to get underway as quickly as possible in the state.

Env i ron ment a l Hea lt h Bureau Chief Bill Chavez says, “We encourage those interested

in the hemp business in N. M. to come out and learn more about this exciting new industry in our state.”

The Hemp Manufacturing Act was passed by the legislature earlier this year.

Christian School is due to the efforts of Joel Peterson, Atchison added. “He was a big, big part of what you see out here now The Peterson family are a big part of what’s out here.”

Atchison’s sentiments about Joel were shared by Christian, as well. “[Joel] was one of those guys who, when he walked into a room, brightened the whole room,” Christian said. “He had an aura of positivity, and brought out the best in everyone around him.”

The present state of the children’s home is a testament to Joel Peterson’s legacy, Christian added.

“Even though he’s not with us anymore, [the home] is here because of what he did,” he said.

‘Stuber’ delivers some amusing spins on action genre clichés

By Glenn Kay For the Sun

RATING: ««« OUT OF «««« RUNNING TIME: 105 MINUTES

R

emember action films from the ‘80s that featured a brawny tough guy mowing down countless enemies through city streets and elaborate backdrops? The new comedy Stuber certainly does, pay some homage to the genre, while deconstructing it and playing a few tropes for laughs. Admittedly, there are a few tonal imbalances and it took this reviewer a while to get onto the movie’s wavelength. However, this feature improves as it progresses and results in some enjoyable popcorn summer entertainment.

Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) is a nice-guy Uber driver who is underappreciated by co-workers, and can’t seem to attract the romantic attention of Becca (Betty Gilpin), a friend with whom he’s planning on starting a new business. Vic Manning (Dave Bautista) is a tough, blunt, and obsessive cop still reeling from a case gone wrong. When a big lead arrives, Vic decides to follow it up despite the fact that he’s just completed a laser eye surgery

Tough cop Vic Manning (Dave Bautista) and Uber driver Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) prepare to make their way through dangerous city streets following a lead in “Stuber.” Photo Credit: Walt Disney Motion Pictures and Fox procedure. The cop hires Stu and insists that the Uber driver take him to various dangerous spots as he attempts to find the criminals. Bickering ensues as the pair must deal not only with violent killers, but Vic’s estranged artist daughter, Nicole (Natalie Morales).

Admittedly, the opening sequence may not start the movie on the right foot. It’s well shot and edited, but feels significantly different in tone than the rest of the film. While the scene establishes the main threat, it is quite violent and may confuse viewers expecting a wacky comedy. However, as Stu and his meek personal

trials are introduced, the film picks up momentum. A nd as the visually impaired Vic pushes (or essentially, kidnaps and threatens), the unwilling protagonist into chauffeuring him through the LA criminal underworld and partakes in nasty showdowns, the movie becomes much funnier.

There are violent moments and many bodies left in the wake of the action; in fact, there seem to be so many killings that it quickly becomes clear the cast and director Michael Dowse (Goon) are

actually poking fun at the over-the-top brutality witnessed in many American buddy cop films. Examples include a bloody gun battle at a well populated animal hospital, a wince-inducing fight at a sporting goods store, and another exaggerated shootout at a Sriracha hot sauce factory.

Besides using bizarre locations to set its physical confrontations, the movie also has fun with other action-movie tropes.

Movies of this sort sometimes lead their characters to grimy locales like strip clubs as they

follow the trail of the villain. In this case, they find themselves interviewing suspects at a male strip club (where Stu also asks an employee for some romantic advice).

Of course, the most important element is the interplay between the very different lead characters. The movie ultimately succeeds in this department thanks to the work of Nanjiani and Bautista. Vic is a blunt and forceful tough guy who, deep down, really needs a good cry and to process his feelings. And Stu has to come clean about his personal relationships and be more assertive in his own life. It’s an amusing contrast as the characters argue, resulting in plenty of panicked quips from Stu (both about being put into danger and his flailing Uber rating).

Yes, the movie ultimately arrives at a destination that you might expect, sections feel a bit loose and improvisational, and there are a few gags that don’t quite hit the mark. Still, Stuber does deliver plenty of laughs, if you know where to look and give the story and characters the opportunity to get up to full speed. This is a violent, but amusing buddy movie, that also provides a few spins on genre clichés.

DVD/Blu-ray Roundup for July 12, 2019

By Glenn Kay For the Sun

W

elcome back to another very busy ed it ion of new release highlights on Blu-ray and DVD. Looks like there’s a bit of everything, both new and old to enjoy this time out. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week, be sure to give one of these titles a try!

BIG NEW RELEASES! After - Based on a bestselling novel, this teen romance follows a smart and studious young woman who falls for a myster ious, moody new a r r iva l w it h a rebellious streak.

Their passionate and rocky relationship makes the lead question several of the conservative choices she has made in life. This effort was largely panned by the press.

Most thought the production was bland and the motivations of the characters tough to buy into. It features Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Selma Blair, Jennifer Beals and Peter Gallagher.

High Life - In this arthouse sci-fi drama, a mission to the outer reaches of the solar system hits a major issue when the craft crashes on an alien planet. Filled with convicts sent to repopulate the universe, the story focuses on a father and baby daughter who find themselves separated from the group and struggling to survive the strange elements.

Reaction towards the film was positive. Reviewers largely thought the production design and cinematography were excellent and commented that they enjoyed the fact that this film didn’t spell things out and left elements open to interpretation. The movie stars Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin and Mia Goth.

I Like Me - An egocentric woman dealing with all sorts of family problems hits rock bottom. When she decides to write about her experiences, the book becomes an unexpected success, turning her into a popular self-empowerment guru who finds popularity with catchy catchphrases COMMUNITY

like, “Positivi-me.” This independently produced comedy has played a few small festivals where it won an award or two, and will be premiering to most of us on DVD and Blu-ray. This means that there aren’t any reviews for the feature and interested parties will have to use their personal intuition to determine whether it’s the right flick for them. It features Sue Schaffel, Anna Fagan and Chris Kozlowski.

Little - A tech mogul known for her aggressive and bullying business technique is rude to a young magician, who wishes that the adult return to her childhood self. The kid’s request works and the lead finds herself in the body of a youngster, complicating professional duties and forcing her to trust in her assistant’s abilities. The press appeared to be divided on how effective this comedy was. Almost half wrote that the jokes and situations were fairly predictable, but thought the cast’s work was endearing enough to earn it a pass. Slightly more complained that the movie wasn’t as funny as it needed to be, was obvious in its themes, and even appeared to contradict some of its own messages. Regina Hall, Issa Rae, Marsai Martin and Tone Bell headline the movie.

Mojin: The Worm Valley This Chinese adventure film is based on a series of novels and is a sequel of sorts to 2015’s Mojin: The Lost Legend (albeit featuring a different cast this time out). It tells the story of a famous tomb explorer on a dangerous mission to locate the lost tomb of Emporer Xian.

To get there, he and his compatriots must find an isolated island and then fight off all sorts of mystical creatures. The movie is making its debut on disc in this part of the world.

One online review states that the movie is enjoyably goofy, while the other critiqued it for borrowing elements from other, better action pictures.

It features Hang Cai, Xuan Gu and Taishen Cheng.

Outlaws - Set among a violent criminal biker organization, this picture details the difficulties faced by the gang’s vice president. Essentially, after getting out of prison, he learns that the troupe is in the midst of a battle with rivals. He’s forced to choose between following the orders

of his superior, and breaking the rules in order to save his brother. The lead’s actions result in a struggle for power within the gang. This is a low-budget Australian production that didn’t receive a lot of love from reviewers in these parts. The cast includes Ryan Corr, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Matthew Nable and Simone Kessell.

Pet Sematary - Stephen King’s disturbing bestseller gets an update with this new take on the famous novel. A man moves to a Maine university town with his family, only for tragedy to follow. When he hears about a nearby burial ground that can actually raise the dead, he decides to give it a try. Of course, the horrific results end up putting the entire family and friends in danger. The press was divided on the product, although it did garner a few more positive notices than negative ones.

It stars Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz and John Lithgow.

The Professor - A university professor and lecturer is forced to adapt to shocking news when he learns that he has only six months to live. With nothing to lose, the academic adopts a new, wild lifestyle. To the shock of his wife and work associates, the protagonist begins drinking, smoking and telling those around his honest feelings, winning over students in the process. Critics weren’t all that thrilled by this comedy/ drama. The majority believed that the script didn’t probe its characters deeply enough and that it ultimately seemed superficial. Johnny Depp, Rosemarie DeWitt, Odessa Young, Danny Huston and Ron Livingston headline the film.

Shadows of Sofia - This documentar y attempts to delve deeply into the world of Russian oligarchs and clandestine activities between those in power and underworld organizations. The filmmaker travels to Bulgaria and interviews a notorious banker who claims to handle the finances of the aforementioned oligarchs. The subject opens up about his dealings with a mob boss, as well as this individual’s influence on various powerful politicians within the Kremlin and beyond.

According to a synopsis of the feature, the documentarian reveals that most of Russia is under the control of the KGB and the “shadowy mob boss” featured. This non-fiction film is making its debut on disc.

Transit - This drama from German director Christian Petzold (Phoenix) involves a man trying to get out of Nazioccupied France. To do so, he takes on the identity of a deceased writer. Things get complicated when the protagonist encounters the wife of the man whose identity he has stolen and begins to fall for her. Based on a 1944 novel, this foreign-language effort earned raves from film reviewers. Most called it an incredible accomplishment, filled with tension and despair, while noting that the tale itself still seemed to be very relevant in today’s world.

It stars Franz Rogowski, Paula Beer and Godehard Giese.

BLASTS FROM THE PAST! It’s a busy week for many distributors of classic and older titles. Shout! Factory is getting the ball rolling with the western, The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1972). This hard-to-locate effort stars Robert Duvall and Cliff Robertson and details the story of the James-Younger gang; specifically, Jesse James and his crew’s attempts to rob the biggest bank west of the Mississippi. The Blu-ray includes a new film historian audio commentary, an image gallery, and a trailer.

Video game fans might be excited to see a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of the horror flick, Silent Hill (2006). The plot involves a mother and daughter who pass through a strange portal into a horrifying town filled with grotesque monsters. It’s a good-looking film, although one that didn’t do much for me, personally.

Still, it has earned plenty of devoted fans over the years.

They’ll be happy to learn that the movie has been given a new DH master approved by the director. It also comes with a cinematographer audio commentary, trailer, recent interviews with the director, two cast members, a make-up effects artist, as well as a making-of, behind-the-scenes footage, a featurette a nd

promotional materials.

Shout! ha s the sci-fi classic, This Island Earth (1955) on Blu-ray. It’s about an atomic scientist trying to save the world from an alien invasion.

This release presents a new 4K scan of the film inter-positive and presents the movie in both a 1.85:1 and 1.33:1 aspect ratio.

Other new bonuses include the original Perspecta stereophonic soundtrack (along with facts about the sound design), a commentary with visual effects artist Robert Skotak, a film historian interview about the movie’s importance, an interview with filmmaker Luigi Cozzi on his love for the film, a lengthy documentary about the production process, War of the Planets (a film reel released in 1958 presenting a 9 minute home version of the movie), multiple trailers for the flick (including a Joe Dante commentary via Trailers From Hell), and still galleries.

On a completely different note, they also have a Special Edition of the cheesy action picture, T he Annihilators (1985). The complete film has been given a 2K update and arrives with a new interview with the director and cast member Lawrence HiltonJacobs, as well as a comparison between the censored and uncensored UK versions of the film. You’ll also get a trailer.

The Anthony Perkins thriller, T he Champaign Murders (1967) is receiving a high definition upgrade too, and this Bluray includes a film historian audio track, a Trailers from Hell look at the film with Tim Hunter and a trailer.

The next Special Edition title from Kino is a really incredible one for fright fans.

Dead of Night (1945) was one of the first horror anthologies ever made and it remains one of the all time best. This British title features a group of characters at a country estate sharing some creepy personal experiences. Most of it is phenomenal, including a tale involving a ventriloquist and his very sinister dummy.

They are also putting out Peter Pan (1924) on Blu-ray.

VISION 2020 | FROM PAGE 6 should include infrastructure, unemployment, public safety, drug use, and housing.

Grey made a presentation to the county detailing some of the goals outlined within the Vision 2020 plan, as well as policies that would accompany them.

For one thing, she said: • The county’s goal with infrastructure would focus on countering local socioeconomic challenges, and help identify assets and resources to complete projects including roads, br idges, a nd utilities.

This would complement one of NNMCG’s organizational highlights from 2018, where staff from their Northwest Reg ion a l T r a n s por t at ion Planning Organization helped develop and support applications for two critical McKinley County road projects that were funded.

T h o s e p r oj e c t s we r e Deerspings Road in Mexican Springs Chapter for about $1.14 million, and County Road 19 near Casamero Lake and Littlewater Chapters for about $1.21 million.

• The county’s goal for public safety would be to enhance and expand services, facilities, and interjurisdictional cooperation, meaning the county could identify strategies, opportunities, and stakeholders to assist with strengthening partnerships and relationships with local

Coal Avenue Commons, one example of how an NNMCG finished Gallup project might develop. This project is the result of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Photo Credit: coalavenuecommons.com and regional organizations and programs.

• Other facets of public safety include developing a county disaster response and recovery plan, establishing local public safety facilities and programs, and supporting FirstNet, the First Responder Network Authority.

Georgene Dimas, communications director for McKinley County’s Metropolitan Dispatch Aut hor it y, sa id it wou ld take upwards of 10 years to fully implement FirstNet as instructed in the plan.

chief, said the county currently does not support FirstNet, but that procedures are in place to allow them to communicate and relay information in the event of a disaster.

“If traditional cell towers go down or overload, first responders would get priority on the network,” he said.

• As for land use, Grey said, the county’s goal should involve the promotion of sustainable use of land within the county, which will result in a balance between preservation, open space, growth and development.

Policies associated with this goal would help preserve

the sensitive lands and scenic qualities of McKinley County, locate the most development in identified growth areas, and promote a balanced, inclusive, mixed-industry energy policy and development in the county.

These policies would also allow the county to support agricultural land use within the county, promote intergovernmental cooperation in land use planning, and promote guidance for new land development.

Grey said the county should exercise “the 4Cs” to meet local needs using local resources. The 4Cs stand for Communicate, Cooperate, Collaborate, and Coordinate.

By taking these actions, Grey said the county can encourage both Navajo chapters and Pueblo of Zuni to develop their own regional policies and plans, which would allow multiple parties to share their investments and distribute resources equitably.

The Board of Commissioners had no questions about the plan, but Commissioner Billy Moore did voice his appreciation for the amount of work that went into developing it.

The board approved the comprehensive plan with a 3-0 vote.

First burial at Gallup State Veterans Cemetery Staff Reports

T

he Ga llup State Veterans Cemeter y had its first burial July 10. It wa s a Columbarium interment.

The cemetery, which was opened on Memorial Day, will have 448 gravesites, 140 in-ground cremains burial sites, and 400 columbarium wall crypts. The 2.5-acre site,

DVD REVIEW | FROM PAGE 19 This live-action version of a play based on the James Barrie book was apparently a massive box office hit during its original release. The silent film has been given a 2K restoration from 35 mm elements and extras on the disc include a historian commentary, an interview with one of the stars, the orchestral score as a separate track, and an essay on the feature.

The ‘80s were a fascinating decade that spawned an incredible number of teen-related dramas, comedies and action films. Tuff Turf (1985) was one of the craziest and most overthe-top of its era, combining, well, all three to tell the story of a new kid at a California high school who ends up squaring off against a dangerous gang.

The movie stars James Spader and Robert Downey Jr. and... it is utterly ridiculous. In fact,

was funded by a $5.7 million VA Cemetery Program Grant.

It is the second of what will eventually be four state veterans cemeteries built using a State Veterans Cemetery Initiative launched by the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services in 2013 to build cemeteries for rural-area veterans in New Mexico.

The first-the Ft. Stanton State Veterans Cemetery-opened

in the fall of 2017. Ground was broken last October for a third cemetery in Angel Fire next to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, with completion scheduled for next spring. The fourth cemetery, currently in the pre-construction planning phase, will be built in Carlsbad.

The four cemeteries will be managed by the DVS State Benefits Division’s Cemeteries and Monuments Program.

this is one of the weirdest and campiest ‘80s efforts that you’ll find out there. This gloriously bizarre movie has gotten a new 2K master, and the Blu-ray also comes with a director audio commentary and trailer.

Andy Sidaris fans will find the company also updating a couple of his B-movie action favorites for Blu-ray. Picasso Trigger (1988) is about a trio of female agents assigned to take down a criminal mastermind.

You’ll get an all new 4K transfer by the American Genre Film Archive, presenting the film in widescreen for the first time ever. It also comes with an audio commentary, trailers and behind-the-scenes footage.

Savage Beach (1989) boasts a similar plotline and similar disc extras. Expect a lot of big hair and ridiculous action. And Mill Creek is also putting out a Blu-ray of the made-for-TV movie and crime biography, The Stranger Beside Me: The

Ted Bundy Story (2003)
