Board hires firm to evaluate FMS security LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Safe Havens International, a federally recognized non-profit safety firm, was hired by Farmington Municipal Schools to conduct a safety analysis of all school buildings. The school board awarded the contract to Safe Havens during a June 13 meeting, asking the firm to visit all 19 schools in the district and evaluate the safety and security of those buildings. “The idea is to identify the areas of need in the district’s policies,

Widening Foothills
Council to staff: Design project in one phase not two DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune A plan to widen Foothills Drive was temporarily placed on hold, as the Farmington City Council instructed staff to reissue a bid process for design work on the plan. The city’s Public Works Department opened the bid on May 29 to have an engineering firm design a portion of the new roadway, instead of the entire length of Foothills Drive. This left the Council questioning whether it would be better to have the entire scope of the design completed by the same firm. The plan was to design the widening project up Foothills to Lakewood Drive, and then to hire a contractor to build out the design next year. “It was put into two phases because of the costs,” Public Works Director Jeff Smaka said. “It’s the only way we could pay for it,” added Nica Westerling, engineer with the city. The Council did not like the idea of breaking the

Reunion concert
Original Scorpion Hollering Band gets back together again It’s a family reunion of sorts. The Original Scorpion Hollering Band will gather for rehearsals and a reunion concert Sunday, June 23. The planning for this concert began four years ago when the Farmington Peed High School Class of 1989 got together for a 20-year reunion. Several members of the
Original Scorpion Hollering Band started talking about a reunion concert. The Hollering Band was founded by Dr. John Peed in 1976 and it went on to become an award-winning, nationally recognized choral program with hundreds of alumni. Gerri Chavez Woodside, Karla Hopper Kollasch and Janet Clark Ratte decided to begin organizing a reunion event. They contacted Peed, who never

thought it would happen. “I told them, if they got it together, I would be there,” he said. Kollasch put together a Facebook page for the Original Scorpion Hollering Band and “It started snowballing,” Peed said. “We ended up with 200 people on the Facebook page.” More than 100 of those people expressed an interest in a reunion concert, which left Peed feeling both melancholy and gratified. “I’ve been very excited and very Members of the Original Scorpion Hollering Band rehearse in this 1989 yearbook photo.

schools procedures, and tools that impact safety,” said School Board President Sandy Schumacher, who also is on the district’s safety committee. Safe Havens International is one of the largest school safety firms in the world, Schumacher said, adding the firm operates in 24 countries. “I was so excited about this group and their credentials,” Schumacher explained. Safe Havens has worked with the United
States Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “The employees will actually be visiting the sites themselves, they won’t have a contractor come out,” to do the safety assessments, she said. The budgetary impact of hiring Safe Havens International is $39,000, according to Schumacher. Campus Programs Assistant Superintendent Frank Stimac said the
school district has a great working relationship with the local fire departments, police departments, and the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management, however the district wanted to receive a third party’s opinion on the district’s safety and what needs to be updated. “We have done a lot of safety drills and procedures in our schools and we see some issues in all of our schools,” because the buildings are old, Stimac said.
“We have 14 schools built in the 1960s, and when most of these schools were built, safety and security wasn’t an issue.” When Safe Havens International evaluates the school buildings, they will look at “everything from the process of people coming in to visit” to how secure the school’s entrances and exits are, Stimac said. “It will be pretty in depth.” According to Safe Havens International’s project proposal, the firm also
will assess the school’s camera surveillance systems, communication systems and procedures, school resource officer utilization and staffing, as well as security in the preparation of foods and beverages. The firm also will look at the district’s crisis response and disaster mitigation plans. “They will point out a lot of things what we are doing now and what we can do in the future,” School Resource Officer Coordinator Michele De-
Lese said. “We want to do everything we can to make sure our (students and staff ) are safe,” Stimac added. Safe Havens International has worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Education, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and the U.S. Attorney General’s Office. The dates for Safe Havens International visit to Farmington Schools have not been scheduled.
apprehensive. It blows my mind. It is totally incomprehensible,” he said. “It is gratifying to know that the choral program meant something to people.” Peed was with Farmington High School from 1976 to 1991 and the choral students were his family. “I always did it because I loved you guys,” he said. Peed earned his master of music in choral conducting from the University of Kansas, he earned a master of arts in educational leadership from St. Mary’s University, Texas, and he earned a doctor of arts degree from the University of Northern Colorado, Greely. Other than his time at Farmington high School, Peed worked as the director of choral activities at Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas, and as the director of fine arts at Wesleyan School in Norcross, Ga. He lives in Suwanee, Ga. The concert, which begins at 3 p.m., Sunday, June 23, at the Farmington Civic Center, will consist of pieces written and arranged by
Peed, including his signature Christmas composition Santy Claus is Flat Gonna Come to Town. “We’ll be doing some of what we sung before in high school,” Kollasch said. “They’re songs we performed in choir and that makes it really special.” The program includes spirituals, contemporary works and vintage popular tunes. There also will be a finale where everyone is invited to sing along with the FHS Alma Mater. When Peed realized the concert was going to happen, he knew he had to come up with music. “I tried to make it where it was a group decision – tell me what pieces you would like to
do,” he said. He asked choral members to email him songs they remembered performing. He took those songs and put them on Survey Monkey, so people could vote on what they wanted to sing. Once he had a list of songs, he began developing a program. “I’ve always wanted to do things that challenged people,” Peed said. “I picked a program that is as wellrounded as I could with a lot of spirituals and good music. The music I picked – people would remember from different years.” There are 85 Hollering Band members who will travel to Farmington for the reunion concert, and most of them were contacted
through the Facebook Page developed by Kollasch. “It’s really great that people wanted to do this,” she said. Participants will have a whirlwind weekend of choir rehearsals, meals, friendship and of course the concert. “We are going to be rehearsing in the Farmington High choir room,” Kollasch
added. The concert is open to the public, and any former Hollering Band members who were not notified in time to perform are encouraged to come out for the event. A $5 donation will be accepted at the door and all proceeds from the concert
will be donated to the Farmington Municipal Schools music program. “We want to use this concert to show how important music is in the schools,” Kollasch said. A reception will follow the concert. “We hope all of our friends in Farmington come to see us,” Peed said.

Is Edward Snowden a hero or traitor? The U.S. national security establishment was thrown into turmoil this week with the revelation it was engaged in widespread “data mining” of Americans’ phone calls and Internet traffic to spot unusual patterns that might indicate a terrorist attack. The source of those stories? Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old high school dropout turned computer genius, who witnessed the programs at work in his job as a contractor for the National Security Agency. “I think it’s an act of treason,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said of Snowden’s acts. “He is a hero,” insisted John Cassidy, a writer for The New Yorker. Which is it? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate. MATHIS: “I’m neither traitor nor hero,” Edward Snowden said this week. “I’m an American.” If only that simplified the question. Americans are like any other people – capable of both great heroism and
monstrous evil. And history shows the same is true of the American government. Which is why – given what is known about Snowden at this point – the inclination is to place Snowden a little closer to the “hero” side of line, albeit tentatively and cautiously. The NSA’s programs, after all, are not the first in which the American government has spied on its own people. During the Vietnam War and civil rights protests of the 1960s, the FBI and CIA kept a close watch on Americans and political groups whose only crime was to dissent from mainstream political thought. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover used his knowledge to bully politicians and, alarmingly, to encourage Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide. The FBI’s program of spying on American dissenters, dubbed COINTELPRO, was exposed only because activists burglarized an FBI field office in Pennsylvania and released the program’s files to the media.
RED & BLUE STATES Joel Mathis & Ben Boychuk That burglary was plainly a criminal act; it also just as plainly defended the American people against the invasive overreach of their government. Truth is, we don’t have an example of a massive spying program that both kept Americans under watch and respected their individual rights to privacy and liberty over the long term. History shows powerful programs, while perhaps well-intentioned, inevitably succumb to abuse and corruption. No one has disputed Snowden’s own account that he acted to expose the government “criminality” to its citizens. “Last week, the American government happily operated in the shadows with no respect for the consent of the governed,” Snowden said, “but no longer.”
Yes, there’s a touch of hubris in that statement. His choices of refuge – China and Russia – also raise questions. But it ultimately appears Snowden betrayed the U.S. government, not the American people. The two aren’t always one and the same. BOYCHUK: Snowden is no hero. When he talks about the NSA’s “existential threats to democracy” from the comforts of a Hong Kong hotel room, within earshot of spies for communist China, under the protection of one of the most undemocratic regimes on earth, he’s either joking or lying. In any case, Snowden is a fool. But is he a traitor? Merely revealing the existence of a program that collects vast amounts of data
from perhaps hundreds of millions of Americans by itself isn’t treasonous. Many Americans were at least dimly aware of the NSA’s snooping when it first came to light during the Bush administration. On the other hand, revealing the existence of U.S. efforts to hack Chinese networks, while on Chinese soil, might cross the line from mere whistle blowing to giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies. But a better question than whether this Snowden character is a traitor may be why the United States government has become so powerful and yet so inept that the Edward Snowdens of the world have access to its deepest, darkest secrets? As Democrats and Republicans rushed to defend the NSA’s snooping as essential to protecting Americans from terrorism and Lord knows what else, Americans worry that omnipotent government is becoming ever more incompetent and unaccountable. With good reason. When
National Intelligence Director James Clapper appeared before the U.S. Senate in March, Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden asked him whether the NSA collects “any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” “No, sir,” Clapper replied, before adding, “Not wittingly.” Not wittingly? Not acceptable. If Snowden’s more outlandish claims are correct, then somebody at the NSA could have read this sentence before I put the period on it. Yet nobody had a clue this high school dropout with a high security clearance would spill his guts to the press from a hotel room in Hong Kong. Treachery may be the worst of all sins, but it might not be the worst sin in this case. Ben Boychuk is associate editor of the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal.

With saggy pants, it’s not hard to get behind law Reader warning: There’s going to be puns. How could there not be puns in a column about Wildwood, N.J., enacting a ban on saggy pants that expose people’s butts or underwear along its boardwalk. The law will take effect July 2, The Associated Press reports, with a first offense punishable by a $25 fine. Subsequent violations might reap fines as high as $200 and 40 hours of community service. Presumably you would have to be really cheeky to merit that sort of penalty. “This is just adding a little bit of decency to our town,” Mayor Ernest Troiano Jr. was quoted as saying. “It’s amazing – and this is a pun – how far decency has fallen through the cracks.” I myself take a stern view of people parading about with posterior décolletage.
REG HENRY SCRIPPS HOWARD Really, do we have to look at that? It is hard not to sympathize with a Jersey Shore resort that is trying to maintain standards when at any minute Snooki and her pals might arrive. I am surprised they didn’t pass an ordinance requiring tuxedos to be worn on the boardwalk. But any suggestion that Wildwood is trying to be the fashion police was squelched by city Commissioner Pete Byron, also quoted in the AP story despite not making any puns. “There’s a line that gets crossed between being a fashion statement and being obnoxious,” he said. “Families
can feel threatened.” He is so right. Buttocks are anathema to family life. If too much is made of buttocks, a little kiddie can wake up screaming in the night because he thinks a monster pair is hiding under the bed. As it is, the attempt by Wildwood to become Mildwood has led to cries of racism, just as it has in other places with similar bans. Civil libertarians say such laws are unconstitutional. That’s because the trend called “sagging,” which is said to have originated in the prison system, was made popular by hip-hop artists. (It is a relief to know
that I am finally trendy. I am at the age when a lot of personal sagging is going on, although not yet my pants.) I read in The New York Post that the rapper “The Game” – who is apparently famous, which explains why I have never heard of him – has denounced the Wildwood law as racist and promised to pay the fines for the first five people ticketed. This is very sporting of The Game but – call me naive – I am not sure that racism is involved in this case. Maybe he could have a chat with The Situation, one of the dopier characters in the “Jersey Shore” cast, concerning the situation. Certainly racism is a lingering legacy in this country, but I don’t think the cause of equality is helped by blaming everything on race. I think we do better by as-
suming the best about people in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary – in Wildwood’s case, that it’s just well-meaning silliness inspiring the law. After all, sagging pants are worn by all sorts of callow youths. The last offender I saw was a pale-skinned kid who had his butt so far out of his pants that if had he tied a roller skate to it and bent his knees, he could have slid on down the road as a mercy to onlookers. It may be progress that the knucklehead community is so about equal opportunity these days, empowering people of all ethnic varieties to wear their baseball caps backward and to have droopy drawers dusting the sidewalk while aerating their nether quarters. It’s the plumbers I worry about in Wildwood. What
if some honest tradesman were walking down the boardwalk to fix the pipes at an ice cream, trinkets, saucy postcards and T-shirt store and found himself ticketed for an offense against good taste? It wouldn’t seem right. Surely plumbers are allowed to display the trademark sign of their profession without a law that allows no ifs or butts. So while the residents of Wildwood have my sympathy, I don’t think a law is needed, especially one that goes into effect just before the Fourth of July, America’s great celebration of freedom. Fashions change, as does society’s definition of obscenity, dooming Wildwood to fight a hopeless rearguard action against the tush menace. Contact Reg Henry at rhenry@post-gazette.com.

shelter months and we are excited to have it done, but it will take awhile,” said Daniel Sedillo, project manager at Jaynes Corporation, the company building the shelter. “We are enjoying this project and thank you for the opportunity.” There are two entrances into the facility – an adoption entrance and a surrender entrance. In the adoption wing there are several playrooms for visitors to interact with the animals. The facility will have the ability to house 169 dogs, 112 cats, and 5 exotics. Within the canine adoption area, the floors are sloped allowing water to run into the trench drains providing for a more sanitary area, Farmington General Services Director Julie Baird said. The intake garage, where stray animals are dropped off by animal control, will have garage doors on either side of the room so animals are safe and secure. “At the old facility, the animals were getting away, and this is a much better procedural process to get them in safely,” Baird explained. Other additions to the facility include a multi-purpose education conference room, treatment and examination rooms, a feral cat room, and an isolation ward for sick animals that need to be evaluated before being
Animal crematory
Discussion continues on equipment for new shelter DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune
place. The cost for the crematory is estimated to be $50,000, and the cost to operate the system would be 4 to 6 cents per pound when dealing with weights between 300 and 750 pounds, according to Matthews Cremation. Eckhardt sent an email to Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell asking the city to consider building a crematory to dispose of domestic animals who meet their end at the shelter. A crematory is not only more popular among the public, it is environmentally friendly, according to Eckhardt.
“Across the United States communities have stepped up to embrace domestic dogs and cats and have fought actively to stop the practice of throwing these beings in the garbage once they are gone,” Eckhardt wrote. “Disposing of animals’ bodies in landfills is fraught with environmental issues,” she wrote in her proposal. “Not only can these bodies leach toxic substances and bacteria into the ground and the ground water, they are often picked at by birds and other scavengers and carried beyond the confines of the landfill.” The city uses Sodium Phenobarbital to euthanize
animals and it has been found to kill animals that feed on the carcasses of euthanized pets. As the city works to change policies and procedures to focus on animal welfare at the shelter, Eckhardt pointed out that it is hard on animal welfare employees to have to “throw the animal in the garbage after it has been put to sleep.” “Our actions speak louder than our words … we cannot expect employees to value animals when they’re alive if we then tell them to throw the same animals in the garbage once they’ve passed away,” she conclud-
brought into the general boarding area. Betty Berry with the Pet Project said she thinks the community will be proud of the facility once completed. “I think we will be able to educate the public to be responsible pet owners, and that is really what we are trying to do.” The Pet Project has raised more than $500,000 to purchase furniture, cages, refrigerators and other of-
fice-type equipment. “Those of us who have been at this for quite a few years – we have found out that no one says animals are more important than people, but what we have found out is how important animals are to people,” Berry said. County CEO Kim Carpenter said the new shelter will be a benefit for its staff. “It makes people’s jobs easier and it is more user friendly
for the people who come here,” he explained. “I think it will benefit the people because of its regional locale.” Carpenter added that even though the shelter will benefit the community, it is not the sole answer for finding a solution to the growing problem of stray animals in the area. “What else do we need to do to control the animal population? Will there have
to be a mandatory spay and neuter ordinance?” Carpenter asked. “The county needs a better working agreement with the Navajo Nation, because we are spending well into six figures for animals coming off the reservation.” The county also has experienced expenditure increases at the Farmington shelter because of a variety of circumstances including the construction of the new larger shelter, which will
employ six additional fulltime animal caregivers. “This particular part of the county’s operation – we partner with the city on – is the single largest inflationary project that we have and the prices have gone through the roof for this over the years,” Carpenter said. The new Farmington Regional Animal Shelter is expected to be open to the public this September.
move forward and not wait for another budget year. It seems while we are researching 7,000 linear feet of Foothills, why not look at the entire project,” he said. Smaka pointed out that it has been a money issue, and doing the entirety of Foothills Drive would be double the budgeted cost. “If what we talked about was widening of Foothills, why did we only look at half of Foothills?” Sandel said. This is “strictly” the design phase, according to Smaka, who said “Right now there is not money …
to build the construction out.” Councilor Mary Fischer asked if there might be a problem having two different engineers design portions of the roadway. “If we waited and had somebody else design the second phase, is there a problem if it is not consistent throughout?” she asked. “The road is consistent,” Smaka said. “It’s strictly the design of the roadway.” Councilor Dan Darnell wanted to know if there would be a problem having the engineer complete an entire roadway design.
“Maybe that would speed up the second half of the build up,” he said. “I think this is a project that needs to get done. This project is a priority,” Darnell said. “If we come up with an additional $300,000, you could do the design for the entire road. Does engineering have a problem with doing the entire design?” “No I don’t,” Smaka said. “We just broke it into phases because we don’t have the money for construction.” Roberts asked if the request for proposals could be cancelled and then a
new bid process be opened to include the entire scope of the project. Smaka said that would be fine. “I appreciate the sentiment of the Council in that this is a very important project,” Sandel said. “Considering that it sat on the books all last year and did not move forward, I do not have the confidence that a second phase will move forward. Mobilizing a design team is part of the cost of the project. It seems it would be more efficient to do it all at once.” Sandel moved to table
the decision until staff could further review the possibility of designing the widening project in its entirety. The Council also decided to table a decision to award a bid for veterinary services at the Farmington Animal Shelter to San Juan Veterinary Hospital. Fischer said she wanted some additional information from the legal department concerning the bid. The council has 90 days to approve or deny the veterinary services bid, and the city’s legal department is set to report back to the council in two weeks.
There is one place for the city to dispose of euthanized animals, and that place is the county landfill. The Farmington Animal Shelter puts down approximately 5,100 animals each year. Animal control picks up 350 deceased animals from the side of the road. These animals must be transported to the landfill and disposed of, costing the city $25,000 per year in fees. Animal Shelter Consultant Marcy Eckhardt has made a proposal to end this practice and find unwanted and ill pets a more humane resting
ed. Eckhardt proposed the city purchase a Matthews IEB 16 unit, which costs $49,597. It can accommodate a 300 pound load by breaking it into 75 to 100 pounds per hour, according to information from Matthews. Farmington General Services Director Julie Baird has continued to research the possibility of the crematory and stated in an email that the city needs to “determine the common utility needs of the various units and plan for an appropriate size and space.” No decisions have been made at this time.
roadway project up into a multiphased plan. “I would like to look at this request for proposals and look at the entirety of Foothills Drive,” Councilor Jason Sandel said. Mayor Tommy Roberts agreed. “I would like to see it done at one time instead of in phases or increments,” he said. “It seems we should be looking at the entire length of Foothills that needs widening.” Sandel, who has spearheaded this widening project since 2008, stated that it was supposed to be studied in 2012, and was not. “I would like to see this project

Camp teaches kids self-confidence through outdoor activities LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Juvenile probation teenagers found the courage to rappel down a 75-foot cliff in the Glade
Run Recreational Area in Farmington on June 19 as part of the annual Summer Adventure Camp organized by the Farmington Police Department’s school resource officer division.
The camp is one of two two-week camps that happen over the summer. This
camp session began on Monday, June 17, and will last until Wednesday, June 26. During that time, teenagers will learn how to canoe, hike and use a compass, mountain bike and climb the rope course at San Juan College, as well as learn about team building. “The looks on their faces when they achieve something and they challenge themselves to do something , that is what this camp is all about. They are challenged by choice and we teach them responsibility, self-confidence – and they do things they never thought they could,” said Michele DeLese, school resource officer coordinator, who has been involved in the camp since 2005. The summer camp began 12 years ago.
The school resource officers also work in conjunction with the juvenile probation office and the juvenile drug and grade court office, DeLese explained. Robbie Munn was a past camp participant, and this year he is mentoring the other teenagers. “I had a lot of fun (last year) and I got along with all of the officers and it pretty much made my summer even better. I thought it was a punishment, but it wasn’t, so I decided I wanted to come back and have fun.” Munn said rappelling down a cliff for the first time can be scary but “every time after that it just gets easier and easier.” As the teenagers slowly leaned back and took their first steps down the cliff, a few had wary expres-
sions, but as their feet hit the ground their expression shifted into excitement. So far, rappelling has been Josh Buescher’s favorite camp activity. “I wanted to do something and stay out of trouble during the summer,” he explained, adding this is a good opportunity to learn and experience new things. There are 27 teenagers participating in the camp’s second session. Tibbetts Middle School’s Resource Officer Lisa McGaha said the camp also is a great opportunity for the officers and teenagers to build relationships. “The kids get to see us out of uniform and that we are just normal people too. I think this makes them see that they can trust us.” At the end of each activity, awards are given out to teenagers who have exemplified kindness, diligence, humility, and perseverance, DeLese said. The final day of the camp, everyone involved will enjoy a cookout at the lake and fishing. “We do this for them,” DeLese said pointing to the teenagers. “It’s great.”

Beat the heat
Helping your pet keep cool this summer The summer heat is on and has come earlier than usual, thus I want to remind us all about the risk of heat stroke. The owner was frantic. Just an hour before, her Cairn Terrier Snickers was playing in the yard. Now he was listless and having trouble breathing. Rushing him to the nearest veterinary clinic, a concerned veterinary technician informed her that Snickers’ temperature was over 106 degrees – he was suffering from heat stroke. Luckily for Snickers – and with the help of a quick thinking owner and veterinary technician – he recovered. Every summer, hundreds of dogs find their way to the family veterinarian after spending just a few hours in the hot sun. It’s important to remember dogs don’t sweat like we do. Cooling them-
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson selves by panting, dogs use the moisture evaporating off their tongue as a means to lower their body’s temperature. Anything overwhelming this natural cooling system leads to heat stroke. With more families away from home during the day, our dogs are often left outdoors where it may be difficult to find shady, cool places and water to drink. Normally, a dog’s temperature ranges from 100 to 102.5 degrees. In cases of heat stroke, temperatures over 106 degrees are considered to be an emergency situation – temporaries over 110 degrees can be fatal in a matter of minutes. This level of hyperther-
mia (higher than normal body temperature) can affect every major body system and it is imperative you get your pet to a veterinarian as soon as you safely can. Dogs who succumb to heat stroke often show the following signs: • Vigorous panting • Inability to stand, or weakness while standing • Thick, ropy saliva, literally foaming at the mouth • Bright red mucous membranes, although some dogs may show pale or even muddy gums. Heat stroke can affect any dog, although dogs with short faces, such as Boston terriers, Pugs, and Bulldogs may be at higher risk due their inability to

back on their feet in no time. As I always recommend, preventable and proactive health care in regard to our pets will save you money and heartache. A few common sense steps to prevent heat stroke are as follows: • NEVER, never leave a pet in a car in the summer. • Always have water available for drinking. • Make sure an ambitious playful puppy can’t over turn its water source. • Put out a baby play pool for cooling off or water down an area under a tree or shrub. • Provide plenty of shade in your yard. • Don’t over run or over play your dog on a hot day. • Exercise in the early mornings or late evenings. As always, call your family veterinarian with your concerns.
temperature effectively, as well as rubbing alcohol placed on the skin of the stomach. Do not use ice or extremely cold water. Although it seems logical, extreme cold will cause surface blood vessels to contract, forming an insulating area that traps heat in the body, delaying the cooling of the vital organs Attempting to force your pet to drink is also not advisable. If you suspect your dog is suffering from heat stroke, immediately load your pet carefully into a car and go to the veterinarian. Under no circumstances should you leave your pet alone in the vehicle. Without these life-saving steps, many dogs might lose their lives to the “dog-days” of summer. But as Snickers will testify, quick thinking owners and veterinarian professionals can help get them
effectively pant and cool themselves. Many people believe that their pet will be fine outdoors. However, inadequate shade and/or water can affect even the most seasoned outdoor dog. Interestingly, heat stroke in cats is very rare. Most animal experts believe that cats are extremely good at finding the coolest spots to lie down and also to avoid the excessive excitatory exertions that many dogs seem to thrive on. If you find your dog vigorously panting on a warm summer day, immediately move the pet out of the environment and into a cooler place. Getting the pet into a shady area with a fan running on him can be very helpful. Using cool, not cold, tap water on the extremities and trunk can also help to lower the body

X Run Four Corners

Kiva Bowl
Aztec hosts 5K this Saturday Skateboarders competition at LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Running through the mud while tackling military-style obstacle courses has been a growing international trend, and local residents will participate in one of these events on Saturday, June 22. Dye Hard Productions is organizing The X Run Four Corners, which will be at the Aztec Motocross Track. The first wave of races begins at 10 a.m. “This is local circuit that we hope will reach out to western states,” said Ashley Dye with Dye Hard Productions, adding that this is the first obstacle race to be held in the region. It will be a 5K run that includes obstacles consisting of tunnels, mud pits, pools of water, a 300-foot slip ’n’ slide, barricades, wall climbs, hill climbs, and
cargo nets. “The military style obstacles will be man-made,” said Robert Settles with No Limit Companies, the business that manages the Aztec Motocross Track. The day-long event also will offer food and live music from regional bands. Ten percent of the proceeds collected at this event will be donated to Witten’s Warriors, a nonprofit group that supports children with disabilities and illnesses. Steffan and Maygen Carey developed the group after their son Witten was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Witten’s Warriors donates money to the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation in Albuquerque through various fundraising events. “It is a great cause and a really exciting event, too,” Settles said about the mud run. Settles said they re-
When a baseball player is at the plate waiting to hit a fastball over the fence, it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out a baseball will travel farther than a wet sponge when he hits it. That’s an oversimplification, but it’s a simple description of what’s going on with the Dodgers Triple-A team in Albuquerque this year. The Isotopes are using a humidor for their baseballs. For those not familiar, it’s a small room kept at a constant 72 degrees and 50 percent humidity. The idea is to make the baseballs “moist” inside and thus softer. Trust me, most people can’t tell the dif-
ference between baseballs that were kept in a humidor and those that were not. Pitching in Albuquerque creates its own set of issues. Players on the mound have to deal with the altitude of Albuquerque. Baseballs will typically travel further when hit at a higher elevation. Adding the humidor was the decision of the Isotopes’ parent club, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Per Major League Baseball, balls must spend a minimum of two weeks in a humidor before they are used in a game. They are also allowed to be taken out for only one hour before their use. Not everyone is sold on
June is a great month for series finals as the NBA and NHL finals finish off this next week. Major League Baseball nears the halfway point and local ball players begin to get ready for state and regional play. Congratulations to Shilo McCall who got the call up to the next level heading to Salem, Ore., for the 80-game short season. Further congratulations to Jake McCasland who was drafted again by San Francisco, joining his former teammate, McCall, in the Giants organization. NBA Finals By the time you read this the NBA Finals will be over and there will be scenes of a tipped over car in either San Antonio or Miami, but as of this writing there is anticipation of
a rare gem, a Game Seven. Game Six is what a fan hopes for every event. The game had drama, comebacks, clutch shots and bad calls, a true classic. About time, after five double-digit games. It was hoped that Game Seven was just as dramatic, but history tells us otherwise. In the famous Phoenix-Boston Game Five, famous for the smart intentional technical foul timeout, which allowed the Suns to advance the ball to half court, and the incredible tying fade away from Garfield Heard, both teams exhausted themselves in a pivotal 2-2 series breaker from which the Suns never emotionally recovered, losing the series 4-2. Even in recent baseball
ceived in-kind donations to help with the costs of building the track and the obstacles. “We rarely get cash donations,” he said. “What it is, is in-kind trade for construction materials or for labor.” “There are 15 local companies who are sponsoring it” and who helped build the track, Dye said. Race participants were encouraged to form teams and also wear crazy costumes. Awards will be given out to all the participants who finish the race and also to more experienced athletes who wish to compete against other teams. Spectators and children will be able to attend the concert and festival area for no charge. Dye said she hopes this race will be an annual event. “We are already planning for next June,” she said.
Hartman Skate Park Saturday LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Skateboarders with any level of expertise are invited to compete in the Aztec Kiva Bowl on Saturday, June 22, at Hartman Skate Park in Aztec. Harold Badoni, the event’s coordinator. He works at a school in Denver and grew up in San Juan County, and said he wanted to organize the skateboarding competition because it is a passion of his. “This is a nonprofit event for anti-bullying, zero drug tolerance, and helping children focus on healthy choices,” Badoni explained. There will be a booth at the event passing out information on the anti-bullying movement and how children can make healthy choices.
THIS WEEK IN SPORTS JP Murrieta the idea that balls kept in a humidor will make a difference. Isotopes manager Lorenzo Bundy questions the effects of the humidor. “I’m not a guy to put a lot of weight on it right now,” said Bundy. “The last couple of years we’ve had some good pitchers in Dana Eveland and John Ely who’ve had some terrific years (without humidor baseballs). I’m not looking for excuses, I’m looking
for pitchers who get guys out.” For the record, Colorado Springs used a humidor last season and the team’s overall ERA dropped by nearly a run. “Hopefully it helps from a player development perspective and levels the playing field,” said Isotopes general manager John Traub. “I don’t think we’ll know the full effect until two or three years down the road.”
RICK’S PICKS
Rick Hoerner history we’ve seen teams that cannot recover from a devastating Game Six loss, and then fall easily in Game Seven. Just recently the Texas Rangers had the World Series all but celebrated just a strike away from a 4-2 win, the baseball equivalent of being ahead in basketball by five with 30 seconds left, when the Cardinals rallied to tie the game and go on to win in 11 innings. Texas then fell in Game Seven. The exact reverse happened to the Cardinals in 1985 when a blown call gave the Royals another chance, eventually
winning Game Six and routing the Cardinals in Game Seven. Then of course there was the 1986 World Series where Bill Buckner went from potential Hall of Famer to the undeserved poster boy for the choke. The loss of a Game Six, especially when it seems the championship is at hand, traditionally means the downfall in Game Seven. This most likely means disaster for the Spurs last night, but if any team and coach can get ready, it’s the Spurs. There hasn’t been a road win in a Game Seven
Anyone who wishes to skateboard in the competition must pay a $5 registration fee at 9:30 a.m. the day of the event. The competition will begin at 10 a.m. and skateboarders of all ages are encouraged to compete, Badoni said. Depending on their skill levels, the skateboarders will compete in beginning, intermediate, or advance categories. The public may come and watch the skateboarders for no
charge. “Many kids are not focused on regular sports, so this brings them out and lets them try something different,” Badoni explained. “It is still exercise and a lot of activity involved.” Badoni said he is looking for volunteers as well as vendors and sponsors. “The sponsors will contribute to the competitors and bring gift cards for them and give them something to win,” as well as provide snacks for the volunteers. Anyone who wishes to volunteer, set up a vendor booth, or sponsor the event should call Badoni at 303.842.2818. If the skateboard competition is successful this year, Badoni said he would like to organize more competitions in the future.
Tony, Tony, Tony Next week we will know if Tony Snell’s decision to skip his senior season at UNM and enter the NBA draft was a smart one. The NBA draft is June 27. Snell is banking on the opinions of those close to him who believe he will be a first round pick. Only the top 30 picks get guaranteed contracts. Depending on which mock draft you believe, Snell could go anywhere from 19th to 30th to the 2nd round to not even being drafted at all. “In my heart, I felt like it is good for me to leave,” Snell said on the day of his announcement to leave UNM. “I think I’m good
enough to play at the next level.” Snell is 6’7” and can shoot the 3 well. His defensive skills have improved since he’s been at UNM, but he’s not known as a “score off the dribble” kind of player. Snell averaged over 12 points a game last season and was the Mountain West Tournament MVP, but he was nowhere to be found in UNM’s NCAA Tournament loss to Harvard. We asked Snell about the gamble of entering the draft and not getting guaranteed money or maybe passed on altogether. “I’m willing to take that risk,” said Snell.
of the NBA Finals since 1978 when the Washington Bullets came back from a 3-2 deficit with a blowout win at home in Game Six and then went back to Seattle to take down the Sonics in Game Seven. Of course that was back in the 2-21-1-1 game format, which will be back up for discussion. The 2-3-2 format, while travel friendly, is not really fair or practical. The team without home court advantage is expected to sweep three games in a row at home to force the series back to the home court, and with scheduling now being based on TV (see the gap between Game 1 and Game 2, even though they never left Miami) the travel issue should not be a factor. Finally, a quick note to
Miami fans and sports fans in general. Stay for the whole game. All performers deserve the respect of being appreciated clear to the end. After all, just because you know Danny and Sandy get together at the end of Grease – a quick plug for Sandstone’s production of Grease that runs now through August – doesn’t mean you get up and leave just because the end is inevitable.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is Open Week once again. I know, I know, the United States Open was last week – but this week San Juan County celebrates its own version of major tournament golf with the 49th San Juan Open. Up and coming professionals from all over the country – and even out of the country – along with area amateurs, tee it up for a grueling test of golf this weekend. San Juan Country Club is a short course by today’s standards, but the course has a wonderful defense system in place. With greens that are small, fast and sloped, putting becomes the highest of priorities to have a chance at posting a good score. In con-
junction with having a hot putter, players have to be able to place their approach shots in the correct spot on the greens to have any chance at making birdies – or even pars. But probably the single factor that makes San Juan Country Club so intimidating at such a short length is how penal the tee shot can be. With out of bounds lurking on over 80 percent of the golf holes, there is, literally, no room for errant tee shots. Nothing kills momentum faster than hitting a ball out
of bounds, having to hit another tee shot, and making a score of double bogey or worse. For the professionals playing this weekend, their ultimate success will reside in their mental ability to block out areas of the course where they don’t want their golf ball to end up. Better players shift their focus on quadrants of fairways and greens that they key on – concentrating solely on where they want their ball to go. This is a wonderful lesson, not only for the amateurs in the field of
the San Juan Open this weekend, but also the casual player. By focusing on your target and not allowing negative thoughts of “out of bounds,” water hazards or bunkers to enter into your train of thought, you will be telling your brain where you want the golf ball to go. When you think only of where not to hit it, your brain – and alter-ego – tend to gravitate toward that area. Positive thoughts, visualization and trust in the ability to execute the shot are why the professionals that contend this weekend will be shooting scores well under par. As a friend of mine told me one year at the San Juan Open, “I can’t

There have been occasions (or multiple, multiple occasions) when NN hadda pretend to be someone else for her own safety or for the safety of others. NN is pretty particular about who she pretends to be, though, just so’s ya know. NN isn’t gonna pretend to be Kim Kardon’tshian or Fauxdona, or Hillary Clinton, although NN has nothing against any of those public figures (Kim and Fauxdona pretty much flaunt their figures publicly anyway and NN’s figure is more of a fuller figured type that doesn’t look good in skimpy outfits. Not that KK or F do either, though, come to think about it) and NN respects Hillary, but does think Mrs. Clinton could use some guidance in the hair, makeup, shoes, bags and wardrobe department. Whatever. So, NN discovered a meeting going on that had refreshments and adult beverages (’K, so NN trolls for those meetings. It’s not always easy finding a meeting
where food and adult beverages are offered, but NN is nothing if not determined to find ’em, attend ’em and send thank you notes to ’em), so she wandered in, joined the nice people in the refreshment line and ordered an adult beverage, pointing to someone else who would be paying for it (NN is also careful to have her adult beverages added to the tab of someone who is nice and won’t question the equally nice servers who take NN’s order. NN also asks the nice servers to add a 30 percent tip to her drink order. It’s the least she can do, on accounta those server people work hard and the nice person who actually pays for NN’s drink isn’t going to question the tip, on accounta they’re nice. NN loves nice people.) While enjoying her adult beverage, an attractive man came over to NN and started a conversation. He was lovely and acted like he and NN were long lost friends. It took NN a minute or two (OK, it took NN until after the attractive man ordered her another adult beverage) to figure out the AM thought NN was someone else. With that second AB in hand and the attention of an attractive man, NN decided to just go with the flow and pretend to be whoever the AM

Then the AM asked NN about “mutual friends” and “meetings attended” and where those old friends were and how those meetings helped whatever cause the AM and the ’nother woman were supporting. Then it got a little awkward. NN managed to bluff her way through the old friends part (she lost touch with some of them when she was on an extended vacation at the Rock, an island “resort” in the San Francisco Bay) but the meeting/cause thingey was a little tougher. NN, herownself, has been involved in a lot of “causes,” but she’s pretty sure the AM and the ’nother woman did not picket the Las Vegas City Hall on accounta city council people were considering taxing the tips NN and the rest of the Girls of Sin City received from clients and fans. Whatever. When the AM started asking specific questions about certain “mutual friends” and “shared causes,” NN decided she needed to bail before the AM figured out she was not who he thought/hoped she was, and asked for her “contact information” so he could reach her for other “shared causes.” NN excused herself, saying she had to use the ladies room, and left the AM, the refreshments and the meeting. (NN did finish her AB – and the AB of the nice person who was paying for NN’s – before she left the room.

Bright, updates

“Home” is a complicated notion. Most often it’s the surrounding neighborhood that makes people feel secure and welcome; a combination of the neighbors who become friends, the services and amenities at hand, the comforting sense of belonging. This home, located in the Animas Subdivision at 4502 Pacific St., has
so many updates it looks and feels like it was built yesterday. Additionally, it is located in a neighborhood that will make you feel that you are home. A lot of time and care has been put into this home. Besides the wellmanicured front and backyards, you’ll find new tile flooring, countertops, kitchen back splash, kitchen sink, windows, complete bathroom remodel and new composite fencing. There is also new ductwork in the attic – which has been redone to separate heating and cooling systems – and new insulation. The open living room features a large fireplace and beautiful wood ceilings. The kitchen in this 3bedroom, 2-bath home offers ceramic tile floors and a breakfast bar, and there is a dining area with lots of light. The beautiful backyard has lots of space and a storage area. There is an attached two-car garage with garage door opener. The house has been pre-inspected and all repairs are complete. This home is priced at $199,900 and you’ll need to see it to appreciate all the upgrades. For more information, or to set up a private showing, contact Sam Todd at RE/MAX of Farmington at 505.327.4777.

Shade trees
On of the best landscape investments you can make I was sitting at a baseball game at noon and it was in the mid 90s. It was HOT! The sun was pounding down on the concrete and the metal bleachers; you could feel the heat reflecting off of them. Everyone was tucked into every little shady corner or under umbrellas. There are several shade trees planted around the complex, but they are just not big enough to really cool things down. As my wife, Myra, and I sat there, I could not help but think of the importance shade trees play in creating a comfortable, usable area. Of all the things we put into our landscapes, trees provide the most bang for the buck. Shade trees cool the air around them through a couple of different processes. First of all the leaves of trees provide shade, which alone cools the environment below them. Trees also release water vapor from the leaves in a process called transpiration that also cools the environment around them. With these two processes combined, shade trees have the ability to cool air temperature around them by as much as ten degrees or more. Now that 95-degree day has just become an 85-degree day under some big trees. Growing trees throughout a landscape reduce both surface and air temperatures considerably. Researchers have found that planting a tree on the west side and one to the south side of a home or business can considerably decrease energy use. In the EPA’s studies, yearly cooling expenses were reduced by 8 to 18
ADVICE YOU CAN GROW WITH Donnie Pigford percent, and annual heating costs were lowered by 2 to 8 percent. For you parents or grandparents, creating a cool shaded area outdoors for children is extremely important. A cool shady spot outdoors will invite children to spend more time outdoors during hot summer days. The shade provided will protect children from sunburn. Trees will provide a safer, more enjoyable environment for children to play. There are many different varieties of shade trees. When selecting a tree, it is important to find one that fits the space and needs. Trees come in many shapes, colors and sizes. The following list includes a few of my personal favorites: RED SUNSET MAPLE: Red Sunset Maple is an excellent shade tree. Highly rated and reliable, Red Sunset Maple has become the standard by which all other red maples are compared. It’s a vibrant growing tree with a strong and balanced branching pattern. Sleek,
glossy green summer foliage changes to brilliant shades of red and orange-red in the fall. Red Sunset is relatively insect- and diseaseresistant and grows very well in our soils. This maple will grow about 45 feet tall and 35 feet wide. AUTUMN PURPLE ASH: Autumn Purple Ash has many traits that make it one of the best shade trees. This tree grows fast, has a beautiful rounded shape and adapts well to poor soil conditions. The ash families all produce great shade trees, but the Autumn Purple has a little something extra. This ash tree leaf is made up of seven oval-shaped leaflets,
each 2 to 4 inches long. The dark green leaves start to change color earlier than most other trees. The fall color starts as reddish-purple and deepens into a darker red-purple color. This ash will grow to about 50 feet and 40 feet tall. RED OAK: Red Oak is an outstanding large pyramidal tree that turns brilliant orange, brown and red in the fall. This oak is an excellent shade tree for large lawns or parks because it sends roots deep into the ground. I personally love the look of that glossy green-lobed oak leaf. This is a large, durable tree that will thrive in almost any situation.
Nearly 1,000 years before Christ, the Greeks were avid users of medicinal herbs. These age-old healing plants were distributed by priests at the temples of Aesculapius. Priests obtained their plants from rhizotomoi, the diggers of plant roots who grew and gathered the ancient healing species. This continues today with the mountain folk of the Southeast, who still gather American ginsing, goldenseal and other native medicinal plants. As centuries passed, Europeans adopted many of these ancient Greek ideas as well as their indigenous healing arts. Goth, Saxon and Celtic beliefs blended during the Roman occupation, combining early pagan healing arts with classical herbal folklore. When the Empire turned Christian, many of these ideas folded into the physic gardens of the early monasteries, where monks acted much like the priests of Aesculapius to help heal peasants. One universal practice that seems to be unchanged is gathering herbs at the summer solstice (June 21). Perhaps due to the Celtic sun worship, this longest day of the year was thought to imbue the plant material with the most powerful healing properties. For herbs used in magic potions, they must be gathered at this time for the celestial changes were thought a sign from the gods of their magical characteristics. One example is to gather certain ferns on this date, if they are to be
used to make one invisible, or so it was thought. From the spring equinox (March 21) to the summer solstice, days are growing slightly longer, and plants are producing a great deal of vegetative growth. After the solstice, the days begin to shorten and the herbs sense it immediately. That kicks off flowering, which forces growth energy away from luxurious oil-rich foliage production. That's why harvesting herbs around the solstice isn't just folklore, it's solid science. At this time leaves will contain peak levels of essential oils for maximum efficacy. With high oil content, they smell and taste better when dried. If the plants are left too long, soaring summer temperatures cause oils to quickly evaporate in the heat, reducing the overall potency. It's not easy to cut your herbs this early in the season when they look fabulous, but it's essential if you want to dry and preserve them for storage. Harvest in the morning after the dew has evaporated, but before the sun has risen high into the sky. Do not let freshly cut herbs remain outdoors where oils are lost too quickly. Then follow John Hill's centuries-old advice: “They are tied up into small bunches, the less the better and hung upon lines drawn across the room. Bunches are to be kept a half a foot asunder, where they are to hang till perfectly dry.�

Business Digital mammography available
TRI-CITYTRIBUNE Friday, June 21, 2013
A19
Hospital hosts reception at diagnostic center LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Digital mammography is now offered at San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Outpatient Diagnostic Center, which increases breast cancer detection rates by approximately 12 percent, according to Doctor Kristy Wolske with Four Corners Radiology. The digital technology was introduced to the public during a June 19 reception, along with GE Healthcare’s SensorySuite, which provides a “less clinical and more spa-like experience,” said Linda Yentes, radiology department manager. “Everyone knows getting a mammogram is a little bit of a nerve-racking experience,” she said. “We want to ease the anxiety by introducing the SensorySuite.” The SensorySuite allows patients to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a garden, beach, or waterfall. A digital flat
screen displays the images on the wall and a scented bracelet that correlates with the scene is given to the patient. San Juan Regional Medical Center is the second hospital in the nation to offer the SensorySuite experience, Yentes said. The first hospital to receive the technology is Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, N.Y.
The benefit of digital mammography is it can produce an image within 40 seconds, Yentes said. “We don’t have to wait for film to develop anymore, which used to be a three-minute process. So the technologist will be able to determine if (a woman’s) images are good and then the radiologist will read it that same day.” Wolske said it is crucial for women to get an annual mam-
mogram, because 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. “Unfortunately, what most women don’t know is as many as 10 to 15 percent of breast cancers are not readily detectable by mammography,” Wolske said. “Mammography is a fantastic evolving and lifesaving technol-
ogy, but some cancers are just very subtle. This is where repeat, routine annual mammograms really make a difference. It allows us to look for subtle changes that might show early stages of breast cancer. The key to a cure is detecting breast cancer early. We want the opportunity to save lives.” The new technology will, it is hoped, encourage women to get their annual exam, Yentes said. “I think (breast cancer) is something women worry about a lot and if we can make their yearly screening more comfortable for them then I think we have succeeded. If it is a pleasant experience than they are more likely to come back.” If interested in scheduling an appointment for a digital mammogram with SensorySuite call 505.609.6228. The Outpatient Diagnostic Center is located in Farmington at 2300 E. 30th St., Building C.
One of 2 nationwide
Gockel wins excellence in energy teacher award LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Tibbetts Middle School Teacher Erin Gockel was awarded the Bob Thompson Excellence in Energy Teacher Award, a national award that was given to only two teachers in the United States. Gockel has had a passion for teaching energy and conservation to her students since her teaching career began 10 years ago. Since that time, she has brainstormed many creative and unique teaching techniques that educate students on the effects of energy. She became interested in teaching energy when she attended Fort Lewis College in Durango and met the director of the National Energy Education Development project. “I couldn’t believe how fun (energy) was and how empowering it is,” she explained, adding that NEED also utilizes a
kids teaching kids approach. “It is really student centered, and that is how I think students should be taught.” Students in Gockel’s classroom experience many innovative projects and activities each year that help them learn about energy and conservation. This year, students had an opportunity to visit Apache Elementary School in Farmington
and teach the students there about reusable energy. “We taught them about wind energy and solar energy and made solar cookers, which we made solar s’mores in,” Gockel said. Students also traveled to Santa Fe for Oil and Gas Day and met with Gov. Susana Martinez to talk about energy issues that affect the state. Bob Thompson was an inspir-
ing energy teacher who taught at various NEED workshops in the country. The Bob Thompson Award was established by NEED after he passed away. “The Bob Thompson Award is given each year to a teacher who has proven and exemplified Mr. Thompson’s wonder of science and energy,” Tibbetts Principal Karen Brown said. “She does wonderful things with her students every year.” Gockel said she was “flattered” to receive the award. “I’ve never won an award like that before,” she said. “It was nice (Brown) nominated me and to be recognized for that.” Along with learning about reusable energy, energy efficiency, and visiting power plants, Gockel’s students also have spoken to City Councilors about banning plastic bags inside the city limits. Gockel said her students col-
lected data throughout the school year about the influence of plastic bags on the environment. They even went the extra mile and wrote a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to ban plastic bags throughout the United States. “One person can make a differece even with a small step,“ Gockel said. At the end of the school year, students sent a scrapbook to NEED compiled of photos and information on energy activities and projects they completed in order to compete for the national title of Energy School of the Year. Gockel said Tibbetts Middle School was voted runnerup. On Wednesday, June 19, Gockel and 11 of her students flew to Washington, D.C., to attend the NEED Youth Award ceremony to receive the award. Gockel also will receive the Bob Thompson Award during the ceremony.
Helping small businesses
Jenifer Doyle new Bloomfield Chamber executive director Jennifer Doyle understands the ins and outs of owning a small business, which has helped her transition into her new job as Bloomfield’s Chamber of Commerce executive director. Owner of the consignment store, Gypsies, in Farmington, Doyle said she is looking forward to working with business owners in Bloomfield. “I really want to grow the membership for the Chamber, and by doing that it will in turn help the busi-
nesses who are members,” Doyle said about one of her goals as the new director. “I want to educate business owners as to what the cham-
ber does and encourage them to be a part of it because it is beneficial.” There are currently more than 175 Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce members. Doyle earned her marketing and communications degree at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. “This was the perfect opportunity for me to use my degree.” Doyle began working as the Chamber’s director on June 5. She said it was “definitely an experience” be-
ginning her job a week before the popular San Juan River Balloon Rally in Bloomfield June 14 through June 16. “If that is any hint what the job will entail, it will definitely be something that I will enjoy and be able to grow and learn new things,” Doyle said. “We gave her one of the hardest tasks to do – step into an event that has already been planned and ask her to execute it, and she did a terrific job,” Bloomfield
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors President Janet Mackey said about Doyle organizing the balloon rally. The balloon rally was successful, Doyle said, adding the Chamber is trying to make it an even larger event next year. “We want to have more things to do on Saturday night so if the balloons are grounded like they were this year there will still be reasons for people to come out and meet the pilots and let the kids have a good
night.” Growing up in San Juan County, Doyle said she loves sports, being in the outdoors, spending time with her family and boyfriend, and helping out at 4-H and Future Farmers of America clubs. “I would like to thank the hiring committee for giving me this opportunity, and the community for supporting me when I was younger to get my education and to come back and give back what they gave me,” Doyle said.

Nellie if not appreciative, just so’s ya know. NN was also trolling Face Book this week and gained 27.5 pounds just by looking at all the food photos. Lasagna in a crock pot, veggies breaded and baked, desserts to die for – they all made NN’s mouth water and pounds appear. But did any of that
added weight go away when NN looked at the gazillion photos of people working out, talking about working out, or just finished working out? No. FB isn’t for wienies, just so’s ya know – unless you like your wienies covered with sauerkraut, chili or mustard and ketchup. While looking through FB posts, NN discovered Roger Sheak (who is the
bomb) is a new grandpa again; Matt Archuleta, son of NN’s buddy and pal, Shawn Archuleta, passed his test and is now a Certified Nurse’s Assistant (rock on, Matt!); the Farmington Chamber of Commerce Redcoats cut a red ribbon at Studio 116, the new art gallery in historic downtown Farmington that NN’s buddy, Karen Ellsbury and her family opened recently;

Amy Riley is still hoping to find someone to rent her beautiful home when she moves to California, where she will marry the man of her dreams and live.

People had birthdays this week, and was NN invited to ANY of those parties? No. Whatever. NN wishes a happy b-day to Linda Erwin, Pat Gross, Natalie Halphen, Mike Brown, Cindy VerHaar, Steve Henderson, Michelle Huskey and Richard Mordecki. Rob Hunter also celebrated a birthday this week. Rockin’ Rob and NN hosted a radio talk show years ago, but RR has moved up to a bigger audience in Phoenix and has yet to invite NN to join him on the airways. Whatever. NN also wishes Laura Huish a speedy recovery, sends her thoughts and prayers to Gwen Clouthier and the family and gazillion friends of Stan Poff, is glad Carmen Martinez is back to work after a much deserved vacation, knows Peyton Manning would love NN if he knew her and would give her free tickets to every Bronco game in a suite that offers exotic food, exotic drinks and cabana boys who deliver ’em, and is thankful the Perfect Child drove up from Albuquerque to hook up NN’s swamp cooler. NN appreciates the cool air, but is even happier that Oliver, the Cat Who Won’t Stop Talking, and Mojito, the Devil Kitten no longer spit and hiss at NN on accounta it’s so hot in the casita. The kitties have ways of showing their displeasure with NN when things don’t go their way – their favorites are to leave huge globs of hair on NN’s pillow and on every dark piece of clothing NN owns, and they post nasty, hateful things about NN on The Litterbox, a website the DK discovered while looking for kitty-rated movies, that totally disses the people who cats own. Whatever. Jim Hart was the honoree at a retirement party (he
worked very hard and late at Animas Credit Union for most of his life, NN thinks) at the San Juan Country Club this week. NN knows that on accounta she was passing by the SJCC and hadda use the ladies room, which is near the room where Jim was honor-eed, and she lifted one of the adult beverages that was going to someone in that party. NN was thirsty and there’s nothing like a nice glass of wine to quench the thirst, especially if it’s a glass of wine someone else is gonna pay for. Just sayin’. . . . Partying with Jim and his lovely wife, Ann, were Pam Brawley, Tricia Thomas (NN worked with Tricia’s late husband, Jim, a gazillion years ago and loves sweet Tricia), Walt Taylor, Tom Lowry, Cathy Hallock, Shauna Standifer, ACU CEO Gary Sterton and his lovely wife, Chris, and his equally lovely mother, Janis; Lori Manchester, Barb Schaffer, Cecilia Talbee, Peggy Jones (whose son is getting married this weekend in Denver), Jerry Huskey and Teri Wollery, who are just the nicest, most wonderful and most fun people ever. NN also visited with Barry Digman, Tom Hudson, Bernadette Smith (NN’s best BFF ever), Ken Hare, Dr. Jim Henderson, Randy Pacheco, Gayle and John Dean, Mike Waybourn and Julie and Joe Rasor, and had lunch at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant (great food and great service) and got a to-die for chicken salad sandwich from Great Harvest. NN loves food, especially really good food, although she has been known to eat bad food on occasion, but the bad food usually comes from NN’s own kitchen. Just sayin’. . . .

Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

Rating: R Synopsis: The comedy This Is The End follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption.
THE PURGE Rating: R Synopsis: If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home. In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including murder-becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide. Directed by James DeMonaco (writer of Assault on Precinct 13 and The Negotiator), The Purge is produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse (Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister), Platinum Dunes' partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), as well as Sébastien Kurt Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13).Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.

FAST AND FURIOUS 6
Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano. Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again. Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time.
