GALLUP MUNICIPAL AIRPORT TO OFFER FLIGHTS TO LAS VEGAS SOON Staff Reports

A

dvanced Air introduced their services to the Gallup Municipal Airport in August 2022. Now, over two years later, as demand has continued to increase, they’re adding a few more flights to their roster.

With the help of a grant from the New Mexico Department of Transportation Aviation Division Rural Air Service Enhancement program, Advanced Air will now offer flights to Henderson, N.V. and even more flights to Phoenix. This new grant will run simultaneously alongside the existing airline service grant that was recently extended for years three and four. Both grants end on July 30, 2026.

The new grant is for over $4.3 million. Each year almost $2.2 million will be provided with the State’s 90% match of almost $2 million and the city’s 10% match of just over $200,000. Matching funding will be provided by the city’s general fund.

At the Oct. 8 city council meeting, Gallup’s Public Works Director Robert Hamblen explained why Gallup received the new grant.

“From what I’m hearing Gallup is doing very well with our program, pretty much better than anybody else in the state at this point,” he said.

Hamblen said people had been telling city and Advanced Airline staff that they would be interested in direct flights to Las Vegas.

But the Gallup Municipal Airport can’t offer flights to Las Vegas until it can host Transportation Security Administration services. TSA agents check that no one is bringing illegal drugs onto an airplane, which is a requirement for all flights coming into Las Vegas.

Hamblen explained that the airport’s current terminal is too outdated for TSA services. It was built in the late ‘40s. It isn’t currently outfitted with TSA equipment.

So instead of Las Vegas, passengers flying in from Gallup will fly into the Henderson Executive Airport.

Henderson, N.V. is only a 15-minute drive from Las Vegas.

Passengers will be able to fly to the new location starting Nov. 4.

"F

rom what I'm hearing, Gallup is doing very well with our program, pretty much better than anybody else in the state at this point," Public Works Director Robert Hamblen UPGRADING THE TERMINAL The city is currently working on building a new modern terminal, which will support TSA agents.

Hamblen said they are looking for funding so they can pay a company to complete the design element of the project.

When the new terminal is finally complete, the airport will be able to support 20-passenger aircrafts instead of only nine.

Besides the new location, Hamblen said the airport is also looking to offer a variety of new flight times.

Apache County attorney faces multiple charges Staff Reports

A

PACHE COUNTY, A riz. — The Arizona State Bar is suspending Apache County Attorney Michael Whiting's license as of Oct. 2 as he faces multiple felony charges after he allegedly misused public funds and threatened a political opponent.

According to the publication Arizona’s Family, Michael’s license suspension goes into effect on Nov. 1.

But Michael isn’t the only one facing charges.

His wife Joyclynn “Joy” W h iting, who ser ves as the Apache County School Superintendent, and his aide Daryl Greer have also been indicted.

Michael faces a total of nine counts, including: • Harassment: According to court documents, between March 7 and March 22, Michael, alongside Greer, repeatedly harassed Fernando M a d r i d , a p o l i t ic a l opponent.

• Sending a threatening or anonymous let t er : W h it i ng a nd Greer a l leged ly sent a n a nony mous letter threatening legal action against Madrid if he did not withdraw from the race for Apache County Super intendent of Schools.

• Misuse of public monies: These charges involve alleged unauthorized use of county funds for personal purchases, including gym equipment and promotional items,

dissatisfaction with the current flight times for flights to and from Phoenix. Those flights typically arrive and depart at noon. Piano said that for the average businessperson who may have to fly to Phoenix for work, the noon flight can mean they lose half the workday.

Hamblen said the flight schedule will change.

Starting on Nov. 4, the Gallup Municipal Airport will offer both morning and evening flights to and from Phoenix on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

The Henderson flights will take off and come back to Gallup on Monday and Friday mornings and evenings.

Hamblen said the flight schedule is flexible, and if the city sees more demand for Las Vegas flights than Phoenix flights, they could add more and get rid of some of the Phoenix flights, or vice versa.

After every six months, flights will be re-evaluated and modified.

A one-way ticket to Phoenix cost $85 plus tax and a one-way ticket to Henderson cost $125 plus tax.

Hamblen mentioned that the city had considered a flight to Albuquerque, but ultimately decided that it wasn’t worth it.

“It’s just not feasible, you can get there within an hour and a half driving,” Hamblen said.

Man arrested after stabbing at Cliffside Apartments Staff Reports

A

Gallup man is facing charges of aggravated battery and tampering with evidence after he allegedly stabbed another man.

On Oct. 9 around 3 pm, Gallup Police Officer Elijah Bowman was dispatched to the Cliffside Apartments at 601 Dani Dr. after someone called Metro Dispatch to report a stabbing.

When he arrived at the scene he met with the victim.

According to Bowman’s report, the man had been stabbed in the chest. The man said he’d come to the apartments to

visit his wife and children. He said the man who stabbed him was named Theodore Johnson Jr. Medical personnel soon arrived and transported the victim to a local hospital.

While the victim was being transported to the hospital, Bowman spoke to a witness, who explained that she and the victim had been in her apartment when Johnson, 37, barged in the room and “started talking s***” to the victim.

The woman said this often happened, so she tried to separate the two men. But they allegedly got into a fist fight. She was eventually able to separate the two men by pushing Johnson into the apartment’s living room.

But then Johnson allegedly grabbed two knives and then stabbed the victim. Gallup Police officers detained Johnson at the scene based on the witness account.

Bowman spoke to the victim at the hospital, and he said Johnson approached him with the knives. He said he told Johnson to leave and that he didn’t want to get into a physical fight with him and that the alleged assault happened afterwards.

Johnson was transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for the aforementioned charges. His preliminary examination is scheduled for Oct. 23.

Nygren terminates Montoya’s authority over projects Staff Reports

W

INDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren announced at an Oct. 15 press conference that he would terminate the authority over all projects and initiatives assigned to Navajo Nation Vice President Richelle Montoya.

He also addressed threats made against him and his staff by the “Recall Nygren” group.

Speaking to reporters, Nygren detailed reasons for his decision to curtail the Vice President’s duties, and the reasons Debbie Nez-Manuel was fired as director of the Division of Human Resources.

Once terminated, NezManuel launched the “Recall President Nygren” committee. “ O b v i o u s l y, I ’ m dem a nd i n g a ccou nt ability with everyone in this administration, and that includes the Vice

Nygren said he has asked the Vice President to submit her daily schedules and submit progress reports which she has refused to do.

He cited assignments given to the Vice President that were not completed.

“I reassigned those initiatives to others to ensure that these programs were not neglected,” Nygren said. “She has refused to provide a progress report since my memo

A deciding factor, he said, was Montoya’s decision to sign Nez-Manuel’s recall petition.

“That was her announcement to the Nava jo people of her formal break from this administration," Nygren said. "It is her way of saying she no longer supports this administration. I welcome her resignation to make room for someone who wants to be a part of this administration.”

Navajo Nation Council Delegate Eugenia CharlesNewton Generation E911 a nd Rural Addressing Project, a major initiative funded by $35 million in ARPA allocations, on Oct. 8. The project, aimed at modernizing emergency response services and developing a comprehensive rural addressing system, has encumbered almost $35 million of the allocated funds, with nine contracts completed to date.

Controller Sea n McCabe confirmed that the numbers presented by the DPS do not align with those verified by the Office of the Controller, prompting calls for immediate action and transparency.

Key project outcomes include the creation of 12,000 address points in the Upper Fruitland community as well as the procurement of over $441,000 of essential equipment.

Outstanding purchases requisitions include over $218,000 for vehicles, almost $25,000 for high-capacity printers to support emergency dispatch operations and over $89,000 for administrative furniture.

The project has faced scrutiny over a $7.4 million contract awarded to a third-party consultant for expertise on procurement, project management, and oversight and regulatory assistance for the Rural Addressing and E911 project, prompting calls for increased transparency and oversight on internal controls.
