ANSWERING THE CALL

On the Journey from GMCS Student to Life At GMCS we are committed to our students and want the best possible future for each of them. We enjoy hearing stories about our graduates and all the places they have gone on the road of life. We caught up with a few of our GMCS alumni and a current student recently and here is what they had to say.

Francesca Chioda Alumni: Miyamura High School- Class of 2020 Current Location: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM Francesca Chioda is a 2020 graduate of Miyamura High School. She is currently an Engineering Student at the University of New Mexico with her major focus being Chemical Engineering. This year Francesca landed a highly coveted internship with Sandia National Laboratories where she will be working with Bioengineering Research.

While a student at Miyamura, Francesca made good use of every opportunity. If there were AP, Honors or Dual Credit courses available, she would take them. Francesca has also participated in a dual credit course called “Poetry in America” taught through Harvard University. This course is also linked with the PBS show of the same name. She KDG FRQVLGHUHG PHGLFDO VFKRRO RU VRPHWKLQJ LQ WKH PHGLFDO ÀHOG IRU D WLPH +HU JRDOV changed when she took chemistry. She fell in love with it and decided she wanted to pursue chemical engineering.

Francesca’s decision to attend the University of New Mexico was very carefully thought out. She considered the school’s proximity to family, affordability, the low student to faculty ratio of the school, the exemplary reputation of the school and engineering program, the proximity and opportunities presented by New Mexico’s National Laboratories among her reasons for her choice. She also knew that she would have many of the same advisors and instructors over the course of her studies which she considers EHQHÀFLDO Francesca is now in her second year at UNM. She has most recently started a yearlong Internship with Sandia National Laboratories, in Albuquerque. The internship selection process was very competitive and takes approximately 2-3 months to complete. This internship not only provides a unique experience, it can also lead to scholarships, recommendations, other jobs and more opportunities.

She doesn’t have any immediate plans for the future. She is content with the journey she is on now and exploring all of the many possibilities and career paths she will have to choose from.

Her advice to high school students: Be your own SHUVRQ /HDUQ KRZ WR ÀJKW IRU \RXUVHOI DQG \RXU RZQ JRDOV Don’t be lead in the wrong direction; Keep your goals in sight, explore every opportunity; Learn what interests you and don’t doubt yourself; and Take school seriously because it only gets harder.

Silvano Corral Alumni: Gallup High School- Class of 1994 Current Location: Gallup, New Mexico – Horizon Enterprises, owner.

Silvano Corral has been part of the Gallup Community for nearly his whole life. Silvano’s family owns and operates Laroc, a business that offers services in electrical, plumbing and HVAC. While he was in middle school, Silvano worked alongside his father DQG EURWKHUV WR OHDUQ WKH IDPLO\ EXVLQHVV +H VWDUWHG RXW E\ KROGLQJ WKH ÁDVKOLJKW RU handing over tools and parts to then moving on to other things. He can still recall when his father would check him out of school to go to trainings for appliances. He learned a ORW ZLWK WKLV KDQGV RQ DSSURDFK )URP PDQ\ WUDLQLQJV KH ZDV DEOH WR JHW KLV FHUWLÀFDWLRQV After Silvano graduated from Gallup High School in 1994, he entered New Mexico State University with aspirations of becoming an engineer. Once at NMSU he found himself falling behind with his math courses and decided to change his major to accounting and transferred to the business school. He was able to learn General Business as well.

Prior to opening his business venture, Horizon Enterprises in 2010, Silvano taught business and HVAC courses at UNM – Gallup. While teaching his business course he impressed upon his students the importance of managing their money and retirement, even if they seemed uninterested in these skills.

Although he faces constant challenges in his profession, he really enjoys his work.

He suggests to those that may not want to go to a traditional college, like NMSU to consider a trade school. Trades, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC can offer more opportunities to make a good living. Silvano says KH ZRXOG ORYH WR KLUH FHUWLÀHG VWDII ULJKW RXW RI VFKRRO +H·V currently doing in-house apprenticeships and on the job training IRU QRZ EXW ÀQGV LW GLIÀFXOW GXH WR KLV \RXQJ HPSOR\HH·V ODFN RI soft set skills.

Marc Rios Alumni: Miyamura High School- Class of 2021 Current Location: New Mexico Military Institute Junior College (NMMIJC); Roswell NM Marc Rios is a 2020 graduate of Hiroshi Miyamura High School in Gallup. While a student at Miyamura, Marc participated in sports, notably baseball. His reputation in our community as a gifted baseball player is renown, so it is not all that surprising that

he would choose a school that enables him to not only get a great education but to play baseball. Marc’s choice for post-secondary education is New Mexico Military Institute Junior College.

We asked Marc about NMMIJC and how he came to choose it he stated “I got in touch with the coach from NMMI during the quarantine when everything was shut down.

I usually wake up at 6 in the morning, we must be in formation by 6:20. Even on the weekend we must be up at 8:15. I’ve learned how to manage my time because if you don’t manage your time you won’t be able to get stuff done. Now into my second semester, I know how to better manage my time and it’s gotten a lot easier.“ Marc is open to all possibilities. As a current freshman he is working on getting his basic courses completed and towards an associate degree in Liberal Arts. As for future plans, Marc stated “I love baseball so if I don’t get to play after these two years at NMMI, I want to go on to a four-year school. Of course I still want to play baseball but if that doesn’t work out, I want to become an athletic trainer or physical therapist or something so I can still be around baseball or other sports.”

While at Miyamura High School Marc was able to learn life lessons and found the high school experience very positive. When asked if his high school experience helped him to prepare for college he stated “I can say yes it did. I made a lot of friends. I’m very talkative, so it made it easy to talk to people. I think having a lot of kids here and making a lot of friends really helped me to connect with new people.”

As for any future plans on returning to Gallup, Marc says “I have my family here, my friends, I mean it’s always good to come back.

Hopefully I have an opportunity to give back to the high school, to the kids that are playing.

To this community.”

Marisa Garcia Current Location: Gallup Central High School; Gallup, NM Class of 2022 Marisa Garcia is currently in her senior year at Gallup Central High School.

Although Marisa has not yet graduated from high school, she is already on her way to the next phase in her life.

Marisa has signed on to be in the United States Army National Guard. She says “I’ve never really thought I was going to go into it, but I had taken the ASVAB – it was offered at &HQWUDO , JRW P\ WHVW VFRUHV EDFN WKHQ WKH UHFUXLWHU WROG PH DERXW WKH GLIIHUHQW EHQHÀWV and the discipline and the structure that I would receive. I guess that’s what really made me want to go into it.” After graduation, Marisa will be doing her basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina for about six months. She will be completing something called AIT or Advanced Individual Training where she will learn skills to do her job, a job she chose and will be doing for the next two years. She says “I chose to be a supply specialist.

After two years - I’m going to change it to a dental specialist.”

After Marisa completes her basic training and initial obligations for the National Guard, she will use her GI bill to go to college. She says “Well, with the National Guard it’s not full time, it’s only one weekend a month. After I graduate basic training and I do my AIT, I’ll be going to college in Las Cruces at New Mexico State. Since we’re in New Mexico, they’ll pay for any College in New Mexico. They have an ROTC program there at New 0H[LFR 6WDWH ,I , GR WKDW RQFH , JUDGXDWH FROOHJH IURP , FDQ EHFRPH DQ RIÀFHU 6R P\ ranking will be a lot higher.” :KLOH DW 1068 VKH SODQV WR VWXG\ WR EH LQ WKH GHQWDO ÀHOG VKH VD\V ´, ZDV SODQQLQJ WR JR LQWR QXUVLQJ DQG EH D FRPEDW PHGLF LQ WKH PLOLWDU\ EXW , TXDOLÀHG IRU D GHQWDO VSHFLDOLVW which is still on the medical side of things, so I thought that would also be something that I would be interested in.”

An RMCHCS New Year’s Resolution For many people, the year-end holidays have been a time for reflection because either great joy or unexpected sadness seem to fall during this time of year. But looking into the new year I wish for strength and peace, and especially the notion of grace during these difficult and sometimes contentious times.

Countless books have been written about grace and religions around the globe encourage us to pursue it as a virtue. As I reflected on my own need and desire for grace it led me to make a resolution for 2022. I hope others will consider it as well.

We’ll call it a RMCHCS New Year’s Resolution.

To everyone receiving this message - can we go into the new year with an effort toward grace? This team is amazing, day in and day out, despite the realities and challenges of working in a hospital during a pandemic.

The Holidays reminded me we have much to be grateful for and to celebrate. Perhaps, as move into 2022, if we can pursue grace as much as we pursue our own personal philosophies and agendas, we’ll more clearly see the common goals and values we share and we’ll be able to do so with respect.

Virtues such as grace and respect may help us accept each other’s input and perspective as we continue to improve our community hospital. While some Gallup residents were born and raised here, many have moved away and many others have chosen to relocate here to work, invest in a home, raise a family and seek happiness. Again – we share many of the same goals and values. We all want to have access to high-quality health care close to home. Don’t we all deserve grace, respect, and acceptance?

Of course, virtues are somewhat abstract and can be hard to apply to an institution like RMCHCS. But all institutions are ultimately comprised of people. Doctors, administrators, board members, and other interested parties - we’re all just people, doing our best to provide great health care to our neighbors and community.

As a local leader and hospital Board member Bill Lee recently said at an open board meeting: “It took a long time for the hospital to get in this condition, and it will take a long time to fix it.”

So, Mr. Lee inspires the last virtue in this message: patience. Even in today’s world of instant messaging and immediate gratification, change is hard and it takes time. “Fixing” the hospital – restoring our financial footing, repairing our facility and equipment, and most importantly, regaining the community’s confidence in us – will take time and hard work. It will also take patience, acceptance, respect, and grace.

I am committed to continuing the hard work and to pursuing these ideals. I hope we can all make this our RMCHCS New Year’s Resolution.

Disconnect: Clinic phone system failure triggers protests

T

echnology is a double - ed ged sword.

L a t ely, R ehobot h McKinley Christian Health Care Services management and patients have been learning that lesson the hard way.

Amid escalating tensions between some members of the community and hospital management, phone outages at the College Clinic were the last straw. Patients vented on Facebook about problems reaching their care providers and making appointments.

Eventually, they organized and took to the streets in protest, braving the wind and snow Feb. 2, and coming out again on Feb. 9, under sunnier skies.

“When the protesters came out it was on the heels of a couple of weeks of frustration with the phones,” RMCHCS Interim CEO Don Smithburg

said this week. “I’m assured we have a temporary fi x now.”

Rose Eason, an RCMHCS patient and mother of two pediatric patients (both born at RMCH), was among the protesters. She joined up with the informal organization, Community Health Action Group, after weeks of problems trying to make appointments and reach her children’s doctors at College Clinic.

“It’s scary to not be able to call your kid’s doctor or to feel like the administration does not care about patient access,” she said.

She confi rmed Feb. 8 that she was finally able to get through after RMCHCS got a temporary fi x into place.

CHAG organizer Constance Liu, OB-GYN, who works at Gallup Indian Medical Center, said the phone issue was the immediate problem, but CHAG also wants a more productive relationship with the hospital.

“The immediate goal is to make sure that people who

have been reaching out to us reporting that their access to care is suboptimal are able to make appointments again, when sick children can see their ped iatr icia ns, when elderly folk can get their prescriptions refilled and not have to come in to make an appointment,” she said.

“At t he hea r t of it , we believe that a hospital, to succeed, needs to be patient-centered and patient-focused.

We see a lack of community or patient representation on the hospital board of trustees,” she continued. “Ou r or ga n i z a t ion’s goa l i s t o continue to be positive, be solutions oriented, and ultimately to show that there is great value to patient suggestions and dialogue with the community.”

The clinic’s issues arose when the new technology collided with outdated infrastructure, which included a 1970s phone system.

Smithburg said the tech

overhaul entails building a whole new phone system that will integrate with the existing computer system. And while workers were running new cable and making adjustments above the ceiling and below the ground, it caused problems w ith the phone lines.

“We have a temporary fi x in now,” he said. “By April it should all be a digital system, fully integrated with our regular patient care and fi nancial computer systems. I haven’t heard a complaint in a several days, and we’re monitoring it very closely.”

Mea nwh i le, Sm it hbu rg acknowledged that the communication gap needs to be tightened between the hospita l a nd members of the community.

“Things happen at a hospital that are really good and we don’t announce it to the world because it’s our mission,” he said. “Sometimes things happen that are annoying that we

are working on fi xing and it’s inconsistent. Maybe that’s a lesson learned.”

Some patient s felt t he phone outage left them with nowhere to turn, and a promise that everything will be sorted out by April was of little comfort.

So, where can community members air a grievance in the meantime?

The hospital has a patient l i a i son, Wond a Joh n son, who s e job it i s t o help patients with issues. She can be reached at (505) 863-7206.

Patients may also email comments or complaints to comments@rmchcs.org.

The hospital also uses an outside hospital accrediting agency, DNV-GL Healthcare.

If the patient advocate fails to resolve an issue, patients may register quality of care complaints with that organization by calling (866) 523-6842 or sending an email to hospitalcomplaint@dnvglhealthcare. com.

According to a Jan. 25 news release, Gov. Michelle LujanGrisham announced the introduction of House Bill 4, the Hydrogen Hub Development Act, which will expand the clean energy economy in New Mexico while lowering greenhouse gas emissions through i ncent iv i z i ng low- c a rbon hyd rogen production a nd export.

During the Feb. 8 city council meeting, Gallup’s city manager Maryann Ustick explained why it would be a good idea for the city to support the bill.

“This would certainly help us with good-paying jobs and diversifying our economy, and [I] see a lot of potential investments not only in our community, but in some other areas across the state of New Mexico,” Ustick said.

T h e g o v e r n o r ’s n e w s relea se a lso add resses President Biden’s administration plans to invest $8 billion to encourage the development of the four regional Hydrogen Hubs to produce a nd use low- c a r b o n hyd r o ge n i n manufacturing, heating, and transportation.

The bill has seen some changes since it was first introduced. The latest changes were made on Feb. 8, and with those, the bill is now House Bill 228. A board would be put together to see how the Hub was used and if it was being used correctly.

Ustick told the council that one of the key changes includes the authorization of public-private partnerships.

This allows municipalities and counties to become partners. She said that doing this would guard the municipalities against some of the risks. “… [The] municipalities and counties are also protected from any adverse financial impact as a result of the partnership,” Ustick explained.

The council unanimously approved a resolution that showed their support for the governor’s decision regarding the Hydrogen Hub.

R ED R O CK PA R K IMPROVEMENTS Red Rock Park is in need of some maintenance work and repairs, so Gallup’s Park Director Vincent Alonzo came in front of the city council during the Feb. 8 meeting. He requested $500,000 from the lodger’s tax reserve and $7,500 from general funds.

Before the council approved the resolution, Alonzo thanked them for their support.

“I want to thank you … for realizing the needs at Red Rock and helping us hopefully fi nd this money, and hopefully it works out,” he said.

A lonzo went on to say that the money will be used to buy kitchen equipment for the park, put new doors in the convention center, help with restroom repairs and plumbing in the arena and the amphitheater, and fi x the floor drain in the arena.

Candidates gear up for city council elections MUNICIPAL ELECTION SET FOR MARCH 1

By Rachel Pfeiffer Sun Correspondent

T

he election for Gallup Cit y Cou nci l w i l l be held on March 1, with candidates for Districts 1 and 3 up for election. Voters can cast their ballots at any of the voting convenience centers located at the Southside Fire Station #1, Nor thside Fire Station # 2 , L a r r y Br ia n M it chel l Recreation Center a nd McKinley County Courthouse Rotunda.

For Dist. 1, Linda Garcia is running for her third term.

Garcia was born and raised in Gallup. She worked in various positions for the police department and courts for 25 years. Garcia has served on the City Council for nearly eight years, and in that time is proud of what she and her fellow council members have been able to accomplish.

Some of the recent infras t r uc t u re i mprovement s, including the Coal Avenue Commons area, are projects Garcia believes have been crucial for the city. By running for a third term, she hopes to see other important projects reach completion, such a s improved pay for police officers. The proposed New Mexico state budget plan would give a 16 percent raise to state police, and Garcia believes that a pay raise for the Gallup police officers is crucial as well.

“We need to do something for our local police because we’re going to start losing them again. We’re already down like six officers. I’d like to work on getting bonuses for the officers here because crime is up in Gallup, and downtown is taking a beating,” Garcia said.

“My slogan is ‘Your Vote, Your Voice,’ because I think it’s important that the person who wins represents the community voice and really listens to their constituents,” Piano said.

Piano has been active as a private citizen, attending City Council meetings, building relationships with those in local and state government, and learning about problems the city is facing.

Some of her goals for a potential City Council term include strengthening the relat ion sh ip bet ween t he city, county and tribal governments, increasing transparency with decision making around city projects and fi nding new funding opportunities to support infrastructure projects in Gallup. Additionally, she would make supporting small businesses and retaining police officers priorities.

If elected, A zua hopes to work on improving local infrastructure and bringing in more affordable housing.

She also would plan to listen to the concerns of the community to gain a good understanding of what citizens’ concerns are and how local government can address them.

“I’m trying to look at the bigger pictu re, absorb a s much as I can and bring my knowledge to the table so that I can be a good team player to help the city,” she said. “I’m so deeply rooted here.

Couple found dead in Mentmore home Staff Reports

A

call for a welfare check turned tragic after two deceased persons were discovered in a Mentmore residence by Gallup Police.

GPD O f f icer Cl a r i s s a Morgan was dispatched to the Love’s Truck Stop at 3306 W. Hwy. 66 in the afternoon of Feb. 2 after being advised of a calling party trying to reach their daughter.

Morgan met the calling party and was told he was looking for his stepdaughter, Erica Platero, who had not been seen or heard from since Jan. 31. The caller stated he had gone to Platero’s residence, and despite the vehicles being in the driveway there was no answer at the door.

If Platero was not located, the family said they wanted to register Platero as a missing person. Morgan followed the caller to Platero’s residence on the 3400 block of Blue Hill Avenue.

After arriving at the residence, Morga n met w ith Platero’s mother, who told her she had last contacted her daughter through a text message on Jan. 28. She then later tried to call Platero on Jan. 31 but did not receive an answer nor did she receive any follow-up call, which she noted was unusual.

Morga n wa s a l so told Platero owned a business in Fort Defi ance, Ariz., and was not seen there either. Staff at the business needed some checks signed so they were trying to contact Platero to no avail.

The mother told Morgan

that Platero often stayed with her boyfriend of two years, Abram Wilson, 45. He worked with the Navajo Department of Transportation. But when she contacted the department to locate Wilson, she was told he had not reported to the office for three days.

Platero and Wilson reportedly had an “on-and-off relationship” as well as a history of domestic disputes and violence. The family had stopped at the residence before and did not receive any answer to their knocks at the door. The curtains had all been closed, so they were not able to look inside.

Morgan then approached the residence and saw two packages on the front porch as well as the porch lights still turned on. The packages were addressed to Wilson and Platero, and one had been delivered the day prior on Feb. 1. Morgan knocked on the door to the residence and heard a dog barking.

She looked through a window on the door and saw a person’s legs and feet positioned as though someone were lying on their stomach.

Despite several more knocks and rings of the doorbell there was still no response.

Gallup Sgt. John Gonzales was informed of the incident, and Lt. Mark Spencer was dispatched to the scene. The officer made entry into the residence where the grim sight was revealed in the living room.

A female was found on the couch with a gunshot wound to her head and the man was

WEEKLY DWI REPORT Jacob Tolth Jan. 28, 11:02 pm Aggravated DWI A customer was refused a sale of alcohol at a Speedway store nea r 409 Hwy. 566 due to intoxication. The male then left the store in a white Chevrolet pickup truck and headed south on the highway. The incident was reported to Metro Dispatch, who issued a n attempt-to-locate on the truck.

McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Villa arrived nea r t he i nter sect ion of Highway 118 and Highway 566 and parked to see if the vehicle was nearby. Several minutes later a truck matching the description of the ATL vehicle passed going south on Highway 566 and Villa turned to follow it.

Villa pulled the suspect vehicle over near the 29 mile marker of Highway 118 and conducted a traffic stop. He met the driver, Jacob Tolth, 30, no address listed, showed including bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.

Tolth said he consumed “not enough” alcohol prior to driving and was coming from his job in Crownpoint to Gallup. His answers were unclear and he did not know all of the details of where he was going. He agreed to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests, but was stopped after Villa saw that he could not maintain his balance during one test.

After being placed under arrest, Tolth refused to give a breath sample. He was transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI. Jones Begay Jan. 27, 3:33 pm Aggravated DWI A call came into Metro Dispatch from the Speedway store in Thoreau after an

employee saw two ma les who appeared intoxicated in the front seat of a blue pass e n g e r c a r.

Several other persons who were also intoxicated staggered towards the store from the vehicle as well.

The vehicle left the scene at a high speed and nearly collided with a semi-truck as it traveled towards I-40.

McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Terence Willie was nea r t he i nt er sect ion of Highway 122 and Highway 371 when he saw a vehicle matching the description approach him. The vehicle turned onto I- 40 and headed west and Willie turned to follow it.

Willie found the vehicle, a blue Ford Fiesta, pulled to the side of the interstate near the 47.5 mile marker and two males exited from the front seats. Willie observed the driver, Jones Begay, 54, no address listed, showing signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes, a smell of alcohol on his person, and he staggered as he walked towards him. The passenger appeared intoxicated, and he was also detained.

Begay told Willie they were traveling from Thoreau to Gallup and admitted consuming three 12-oz. cans of Coors Light about an hour prior to driving. He tried to contact his sister at the scene but there was no response. Begay also refused to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests.

After being placed under arrest, Begay did agree to give a breath sample. He was transported to the sheriff’s office for the test, where he posted two samples of .24. Begay was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI, duration of evidence, having an open container in a vehicle, and having no license, registration, or insurance.

Weekly Police Activity Report Staff Reports DISPUTE OVER FRIENDS Gallup, Jan. 31 A ca l l to McKinley C o u n t y Sheriff’s Off ice ea rly in the morning resulted in one arrest for battery.

Deput ie s Joh n son L ee a nd Michael Ha r vey were dispatched to a residence on Coronado Boulevard after the calling party advised the suspect had left the scene in a red truck and had possibly parked on the backside of Speedway Towing near 545 Allison Rd. The officers arrived at the Coronado address and found the suspect vehicle. They met a male who lived at the scene who told them about a female who had been hit by her boyfriend, Marcus Miller, 31, no address listed. Both parties had left the scene before Lee

and Harvey arrived and they were not able to locate them.

Shor t ly a f ter t he of f icers left the address, Metro Dispatch received another call stating the two parties had returned to the scene on Coronado. Lee returned to the residence and found both of them along with the calling party.

Miller was detained while Lee spoke with the victim, whom he saw had a swollen face and lip. She told Lee that Miller had hit her but seemed he s it a nt t o g i ve f u r t her details. She finally did admit Miller had gotten upset with her due to people she knew and struck her in the face. She also said he had been drinking prior to the incident. The victim did not request medical care.

Lee spoke to Miller, who stated she had been hit by one of her friends. However, he appeared unsure of the a n swer he gave. He wa s pl a c e d u nde r a r r e s t for ba t t er y a nd t r a n s por t e d to McK inley County Adult

Detention Center and booked.

DRI VING A STOLEN VEHICLE Gallup, Jan. 28 A veh icle w a s u n a ble t o m a i nt a i n its la ne on Highway 66, but that was not the reason for a n a r rest made

by McKinley County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputy Johnson Lee was traveling east on the highway about 8:13 pm when he saw a gray Dodge Neon with a New Mexico license plate driving in the center of the roadway. He activated his unit’s emergency lights and pulled the vehicle off the road into the parking lot of Busy Bee Laundry at 2010 E. Hwy. 66.

Lee notified Metro Dispatch of the stop before h e m e t t he d r i v e r, Jo e l Rodriguez, 40, no address listed. Rodriguez told Lee he did not have a driver’s license

but searched for the remaining requested documents.

W h i l e h e w a i t e d fo r the financial information, Lee was advised by Metro Dispatch the veh icle wa s coming back as stolen and wa s entered by Ga l lup Police Department. Lee then det a i ned Rod r ig uez, who stated he didn’t know the vehicle was stolen.

Other passengers at the scene were detained by other MC S O of f icer s who h a d arrived.

Rodr iguez sa id he wa s coming from his house on the north side of Gallup but did not provide an address. He said he was going to Thoreau and when asked why he didn’t take the interstate told Lee he was going to see a friend first. Rodriguez seemed to not know who the passengers were despite saying one of them was his friend who owned the vehicle.

Based on the investigation, Lee placed Rodriguez under arrest for possessing a stolen vehicle. The real owner was

contacted and MCSO deputies waited on scene for him to arrive.

TA K I NG T H E FIREWORKS Gallup, Jan. 26 A n u n id e nt i f ie d m a le wanted fireworks enough to steal them from a local gas station.

A cashier from the Gas Max station at 516 U.S. Hwy. 491 saw a male walk into the business about 4:21 pm, look around and then pick up a package of assorted fireworks valued about $122. He then exited the business through the side door and got into the passenger seat of a silver Chevrolet sedan that left the area south on U.S. Highway 491.

The business’s sur veillance video was shown to McKinley County Sheriff ’s Deputy Paul Davis, who saw the suspect with a slim build and dressed in black with a blue bandana.

No fur ther infor mation was recorded in the report.

Councilor Fran Palochak,

Villa spoke to Livingston’s relative, present at the scene and the registered owner of the vehicle, as well as the man he encountered on the highway shoulder. The vehicle’s owner told Villa that he was preparing to sleep when he saw the Malibu leaving his driveway.

So, he began to follow it.

Meanwhile, the vehicle was turned over to the two witnesses and Villa spoke with Livingston, who he noted showed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol. Livingston refused to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests, but eventually agreed to give a breath sample.

She was transported to the sheriff’s office for the test, where she posted samples of .27 and .25. While at the sheriff’s office, Livingston reportedly told Villa she had taken the keys to the vehicle from the victim’s drawer.

Grander opportunities seemed out of reach.

‘Death on the Nile’ brings a fresh take to a Christie classic

By Glenn Kay For the Sun

RATING:  OUT OF  RUNNING TIME: 127 MINUTES This film opens exclusively in movie theaters on Feb. 11.

When it comes to murder/mysteries, no one can top Agat ha Ch r istie. T he late author’s written works revolv i ng a rou nd pr ivate detective Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are so iconic and beloved that they have been adapted to fi lm and television on multiple occasions.

“Death on the Nile” serves as one of the most famous books in the author’s resume.

So, what can one do to differentiate and add a few twists to the story?

If you are director/star Kenneth Branagh, the answer is changing the histories of a few suspects and adding an elaborate backstory about the lead character’s facial hair. Strangely enough, the approach ultimately works reasonably well.

The ta le f inds Hercule Poirot (Branagh) vacationing in Egypt. While visiting the Pyramids of Giza, he runs into close friend Bouc (Tom Bateman). The lead is invited to join the elaborate wedding celebration of Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle (Gal Gadot) a nd Si mon Doyle (A r m ie Hammer).

While the wealthy couple are thrilled to be newly married, after meeting Poirot they share their concern about Jacqueline de Belefort (Emma Mackey). She is Doyle’s ex-fi ancée and is stalking them, determined to win back the love of her life.

In frustration, the anxious newlyweds take their guests on a cruise along the Nile to continue the festivities, but it isn’t long before someone onboard turns up dead. Poirot grills the various attendees in order to fi nd the murderer, uncovering various motives and revelations about everyone present.

A s ment ioned, ma ny COMMUNITY

viewers may already be familiar with the story, so the mystery itself and grand reveal may not be as big of a shock as it might be with an original tale. That may be why the adaptation is so dependent on an array of stars and established faces to help carry the material.

Just like “Murder on the Orient Express” from 2017 (the previous entry in this updated series), this movie boasts an impressive cast of suspects that include Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Rose Leslie, Sophie Okonedo, Letitia Wright and many others.

Clearly, they’re all having fun with the material and at times push the interpersonal drama to melodramatic heights, but regardless it’s still enjoyable to watch these red herrings glower at one another.

Despite making jokes earlier in this review about a significant backstory regarding Poirot’s over-the-top facial hair, this added material actually helps the movie in surprising ways. While it may initially seem silly, the story of why the detective chose to grow a mustache does land and ends up adding a level of melancholy and humanity to the character that wouldn’t otherwise exist.

And of course, when he isn’t quietly ruing choices he made before becoming a private investigator, Branagh is a blast to watch as he brazenly

Agatha Christie fans will rejoice in the return of the affable and dogged private eye, Hercule Poirot. Kenneth Branagh both directs and stars in “Death on the Nile.” Photo Credit: 20th Century Studios makes accusations towards each and every passenger in order to unveil the truth.

There is heavy use of CGI technology in order to depict Egypt in the 1930s and not all of the special effects look convincing. At times, it really is evident that the characters are standing in front of a blue screen with the exotic locale added in behind them. But the odd shot is still impressive to

behold and all of the interior sets, including those of the elaborate sea vessel, are strikingly photographed.

Admittedly, “Death on the Nile” is far from a masterpiece. The fi lm is corny and exaggerated at times, and it even takes quite a while for the story to present the main murder that pushes the plot forward.

However, it is a lso a n

amusingly extravagant, wellpaced, old-fashioned thriller that will provide appropriate popcor n enter tainment to mystery fans. Hopefully the filmmakers will dig a little deeper in the Christie catalog next time out, and give audiences a less-familiar story with a few more unexpected twists.

LOCAL FILMMAKER | FROM PAGE 14 you feel comfortable. There’s Cinderella and the prince, but what happens the next day?”

Bain said. “At one point it was suggested to me to write a happier ending, and I actually wrote a happier-ish ending, but it didn’t feel like that’s where, emotionally, it should have ended. I cut that off and went back to ending in chaos.

I think it’s more impactful that way.”

The story could happen to anyone, but Bain wanted gay characters to tell it. “I’m a queer fi lmmaker. I want to see characters on screen that are like me,” he said. “Some people talk about love from the perspective of a man and a woman. From my perspective, I see two guys.”

Pulling all the elements

together to make the film wa s no sma l l feat , espe cially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bain, who wrote, directed a nd co-produced the movie, was finishing at Colorado Film School and working as a grocery cashier when he shot it.

F i l m i ng took pla ce i n Denver over four weekends in October, which meant some cold nights behind the camera, including a couple huddling under a blanket to watch a monitor during snow flurries.

After fi lming he moved to Albuquerque to embed himself in the burgeoning fi lm scene.

There, a friend told him about the Sen. John Pinto Native Filmmakers Memorial Fund, and he was able to secure grant funding for post-production.

Many of the post-production tasks had to be done remotely because of the pandemic.

“It became really trusting your collaborators,” Bain said, offering the example of the soundtrack. “My composer Julius, it was giving him a huge part of the fi lm and you really have to trust his judgment.”

Overall, Bain is grateful for the experience and the lessons he learned helming not only the fi lmmaking, but the funding and promotion as well.

“I feel like a stronger fi lmmaker for wearing all these hats – applying for grant funding, doing the social media campaign, the crowdfunding campaign, all those things. I’ve learned a lot from it. Now they don’t seem like scary terms or scary ideas any more. It’s, ‘OK, here’s what we have to do,’” Bain said.

Nobody wou ld ca l l “Together” a lighthearted fi lm, and the tragedy hit home when one of Bain’s friends died by

suicide during pre-production.

The fi lm is dedicated to him.

Finishing the film was a major accomplishment for Bain, who said Christmas with his family in 2021 was sweeter both because the pandemic prevented gatherings in 2020 and because he was returning victorious from his quest.

“Most of my family lives in Phoenix now,” he said. “We weren’t able to get together the year before so we got together for Christmas. The family had seen the fi lm on the big screen.

I’ve been fighting for this for so long. Them actually seeing the result, and the result is actually really good, it made hanging out on Christmas more meaningful.”

With the fi lm fi nished and in limited streaming release, Ba in is setting his sights on the future. He’s working on a story for a horror film

about body image, and he has another idea for a TV pilot that draws on his days at Holbrook High School.

Meanwhile, he’s promoting “Together” – it has screened at the Phoenix Film Festival, the American Indian Film Festival, the LA Skins Film Fest and was a Festival Favorite at Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ Film Festival – to get exposure for himself and short fi lms in general.

“My hope is that people go out and give short fi lms a chance,” he said. “There’s a lot of short fi lms out there. Don’t discount short fi lms, go out there and support them. Go see mine. Support indie fi lmmaking, queer filmmakers, indigenous filmmakers. We need support, even if it’s just emotional, [hearing] ‘I really liked your fi lm and would like to see more from you.’”

will be announced later this year.

New Mexico is expected to receive $38 million over five years to support the expansion of an EV charging network in the state. New Mexico will also have the opportunity to apply for the $2.5 billion in grant funding dedicated to EV

charging in the law.

“As a mechanical engineering student in college, I was part of a team that designed and raced a carbon fiber solar car called the Sun Tiger from Dallas all the way up to Minneapolis,” Heinirch said. “It’s exciting to see how EV technology has taken off

since then—and created new careers.

“This historic investment to build out the fi rst-ever nationwide charging network will accelerate the adoption of EVs to address the climate crisis, and help drivers save money,” he added.

The Biden administ ration relea sed a g u ide, “Charging Forward: A Toolkit for Planning and Funding R u r a l E le c t r ic Mo bi l i t y Infrastructure,” that helps connect rural communities with partners needed for these projects. The toolkit contains best practices for planning EV

charging networks and tips to navigate federal funding and fi nancing to help make these projects a reality.

“This new toolkit brings rural New Mexico communities to the table so that they too can reap the job and economic opportunities from the new EV charging network,” Henirch said.

Heinrich is also supportive of President Biden’s Executive Order that sets a new target to make half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zero-emissions vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles.
