Airport manager resigns
State rejects plan
Move will cause gross receipts hike coming in January LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune San Juan County residents will see a gross receipts tax increase in January, after the state of New Mexico rejected a plan to restructure the tax. The county moved to restructure a 1/8 percent gross receipts tax and share the proceeds with San Juan Regional Medical Center. County Commissioners sought approval from the state’s Taxation and Revenue Department. The plan, however, was denied in an Aug. 15 letter from Taxation and Revenue Secretary Demesia Padilla, who wrote, the county “will not be allowed the tax rate adjustment.” The county made the decision to request a tax restructuring process to address potential budget constraints in the next few years. There are projected

Flights down 500 compared to 2012 stats DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Flights at Farmington’s Four Corner’s Regional Airport are down 500 compared to 2012 numbers, and the only commercial airlines operating out of the facility has a pilot shortage. In addition to that, Airport Manager Todd Gressick tendered his resignation to the city after accepting the position a little more than a year ago. This makes him the third airport manager to leave in less than five years. Farmington City Councilor Jason Sandel said the trend is “alarming” as enplanements are near a three-year low and the flight cancellations have climbed by nearly 8 percent. Other lows include the fuel flowage, which is down by approximately 100,000 gal-

The Farmington Animal Shelter is set to open later this month without a director at the helm. The man with whom the city was in negotiations for the position of director has decided to turn down the job. Bob Citrullo, who works for Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption, in an Oct. 16 telephone interview, said he was not accepting the position. While Citrullo said he was looking forward to working at the Farmington Shelter, it would be difficult for his wife to find work in Farmington. Citrullo was one of three candidates for the position who were brought to Farmington for interviews. The other two were Kate Rindy, director of the Mount Holyoke Fund at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts; and Stacie Voss, director of veterinary services at the Ne-
braska Humane Society. These three were selected from a list of 28 candidates, of which local veterinarian Dr. Rebecca Raichel did not make the cut to fill out the questionnaire or to be forwarded on to the city for interviews. Raichel contacted the search firm, Strategic Government Re-

Annexation was the topic of a Farmington City Council work session on Oct. 15 at city hall. The Council agreed to move three areas of the county forward for more study and ultimately annexation into the city limits, but much of the discussion was
about what portion of U.S. 64 east would be included in an annexation, including Tommy Bolack’s land along the San Juan River. There is a potential for the city to pick up 2,446.48 acres along U.S. 64 east. The city began this process in

taxes revenue shortfalls, and a portion of the tax was supposed to help fund renovations at San Juan Regional Medical Center. County Attorney Jim Durrett sought an opinion from the state and the Taxation and Revenue Department said it was “legal to proceed.” Secretary Padilla, however, wrote that the county was “misinformed.” The county already had structured its 2014 budget to match the projected revenues from the restructured tax, but this recent decision forced the County Commission to face the decision of raise taxes or repeal the 1/8 percent Hospital Gross Receipts tax. “We were promised that we will get that split and that didn’t happen,” County CEO Kim Carpenter
said. “We are staring at some heavy issues that are outweighing the moneys we have that balance those losses.” Without the restructuring, the hospital still receives funds, but the county’s general fund would fall short. The issue stems from County Ordinance 57, adopted in 2003. The ordinance allowed for the 1/8 percent gross receipts tax to help San Juan Regional Medical Center pay for the renovation of floors two and four, as well as the construction of the east tower, through the issuance of bonds. This gross receipts tax also is used to fund furnishings, maintenance, and operations at the hospital or a health clinic owned by the county. This restructuring re-
duced the hospital’s gross receipts tax by 1/16 percent, with half of the money going into the county’s general fund. “We thought it was a win-win because it benefits the citizens and it benefits the hospital because they would collect enough money to complete the renovations,” Carpenter said during an Oct. 15 County Commission meeting. “The state went back and looked at the ordinance and felt, legally, they could not allow this to occur,” Carpenter said. “Our argument is we built the budget around this and it will be horrible to San Juan County to pull out that 1/16,” Carpenter explained. Because the general fund will fall short without half of the 1/8 per-
cent tax, the county must raise gross receipts taxes to make up the difference, Carpenter said. Citizens will see a six cents increase for every $100 spent in the county. To alleviate this tax increase, County Commissioners will address the issue during a Feb. 18 meeting and vote to repeal the 1/8 percent hospital’s gross receipts tax. If Commissioners vote to repeal
the 1/8 percent hospital’s gross receipts tax, citizens will see a 12 cent decrease after July 1, 2014, because they no longer will fund the hospital’s renovation projects and will fund the county’s general fund only, through the 1/16 percent gross receipts tax. “If we repeal the hospital tax and it took effect in July, it will still provide enough money for” the hospital renovations?
Commissioner Keith Johns asked. “The tax has performed to a point where the feasibility of renovating the endoscopy center and floors two and four is a viable option,” Carpenter said. “We need to start having discussions in regard to looking at a timeframe of what the commission wants to do with the repeal of this tax to be effective July 1.”
River Trails Are For Everyone The River Reach Foundation has been working to develop Farmington’s river & nature trail system since 1982. In coordination with the City of Farmington, we have developed Berg Park, Animas Park, Among the Waters Trail and Centennial Trail.
The benefits of the River Corridor are many: • It’s a safe and pleasant means of pedestrian access to all river parks • Activities include Walking, Hiking, Boating, Nature Watching, Exercising and Exploring. • It’s Free, No age restrictions, membership, group affiliation, or seasonal availability needed.
We’re not done yet… • Further Expansion of the east and west side of Farmington will create a more complete recreational community tied to our residential areas for the benefit of the visiting public and the protection of the natural river resource. • Dedicated walking and biking trails are common throughout the nation in both large & small cities. Citizens report their Quality of Life is improved when their community has easy access to these trails. • Natural Recreational areas are attractive to residents, retirees, re-locators and tourists, creating economic opportunity.
How do we plan to do it? The following items are currently in the development stages and will be proposed for consideration during the City of Farmington PRCA Master Plan Workshops • Complete Animass Park to Museum connection through Browning Parkway. (Browning Parkway to Gateway Park) • Loop trail connection at Junction City (Miller Street Bridge to Among-TheWaters-trail) • Boyd Park connection to confluence, (Gateway Park to river bridge crossing) • Among the Waters trail connection to Westland Park • River Trail Connection to Brookside Park via Glade Arroyo
What would you like to see happen? More fishing areas in town • Skateboard & rollerblade friendly trails • A Disc Golf Trail More access for rafting, kayaking & tubing • A natural swimming/river-beach area • Something else
Have a Say The City of Farmington PRCA (Parks, Recs & Cultural Affairs) is conducting Public Meetings to determine what you want to see happen. Community Residents, Business Owners, Sports Groups, and all interested parties are encouraged to attend. If you think River Trails are important, this means you! (And what a great place to sport your cool Riverfest shirt or gear)

Maker Fair Library opens up spaces for community to share projects LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune From crocheting scarves to learning simple guitar chords, a trip to the Farmington Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 19, can help you learn various skills and crafts. The first-ever Maker Fair will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and it is a free event.
The fair is part of a national trend, where libraries open up “maker spaces� for community members to share their projects. “We have invited makers to come and show what they do. All of us have skills to share and all of us know how to make and do things,� said Kathleen Browning, adult services coordinator at the library. During a September trial run,
library staff showed off their different hobbies, Browning explained. From making candles and sugar scrubs to playing the guitar and learning how to winterize a swamp cooler, it was an opportunity to learn different skills. Because of the success of the trial run, the library decided to organize a public Maker Fair and encourages the community to come and learn new
skills. Browning compared the fair to Pinterest, a website that allows you to “pin� images and videos that you wish to share. “You can see great things on Pinterest, and these are people doing those things.� Registration for this Maker Fair is closed; however, if anyone is interested in participating in the next Maker Fair they may register at
www.infoway.org/maker. The next Maker Fair, which will have a holiday theme, will be on Nov. 16, and the next, a children’s Maker Fair, will be on Dec. 28. “What we would like to see at the Maker Fairs is for kids and their parents to show off crafts that they do together. It would be great to have parents participate with their kids,� Browning said.

You’re mistaken if you think crises are over My Republican father used to say that conservatism was looking for stairs to walk down rather than a window to jump out. It wasn’t an original statement, but it was accurate. I wonder what he would say now. Those were the days when one could be a moderate and conservative at the same time without fear of party reprisal, before adherence to rigid doctrine replaced a constructive approach to politics and, for that matter, good old common sense. It was a time before the virtual civil war, being fought now every three months or so in this city, threatened to bring down the economy and hoist us all on the petard of antisocial causes seasoned with unbending ideology. Why, Republicans and Democrats even used to seek each other’s advice now and then, perhaps over lunch or dinner, or in sharing a ride home or to the
office. It was an era when “loyal opposition” wasn’t a phrase meaning capitulation. The government shutdown that ended early Thursday barely averted a U.S. default. But another crisis, like the hurricanes that often plague us, will be back in January, when we will have to deal with the prospect of closed government and possible default once again. In the meantime, estimates of the shutdown’s cost have ranged as high as $24 billion. The latest polls reveal that 74 percent of the general public – Democrats, Independents and Republicans – blame the Grand Old Party for the latest fiscal nightmare. Perhaps that will convince the party’s hard noses to reassess their positions next time out, but don’t count on it. The rebellious Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas – backed by the now-activist Heritage
DAN THOMASSON SCRIPPS HOWARD Foundation and its leader, Jim DeMint, former Senator of South Carolina – will still be around. It is difficult to explain to those in the so-called tea party, who believe all those fiscal experts are just alarmists about the repercussions of default, that they are playing with fire, as Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said recently. Their belief that what would rise from the ashes would be better reveals an incredible ignorance about the realities of financial insolvency on a global scale. At the risk of exaggeration, putting us back together might not be possible – at least not with the world standing we have enjoyed since World War
II. Yet, blaming the Republicans for all of this also would be a mistake. The catalyst for this dilemma has been the illadvised health care reform act. Not that reforms weren’t needed. But the inexperienced chief executive failed to understand that adopting any legislation without a single vote from the opposing party is not good practice. Democratic congressional leaders rammed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act down Republicans’ throats, with Barack Obama’s blessing, leaving no room for possible compromise that might have scaled down the sweeping scope of the act and reas-

sured a nervous public. The White House was utterly derelict in its leadership role in this matter, giving its generals on The Hill full rein. The result was an unpopular initiative that remains so. This, however, is no excuse for what we can expect, probably until next year’s midterm elections. If the polls are correct and this long national nightmare continues, the Republicans may find themselves twisting slowly in the wind – to continue the Watergate metaphor. The tea party adherents in the House, elected as the result of anger over Obamacare, don’t seem to understand there are times when the public demands statesmanship. Inflexibility against all odds and reason is a prescription for political disaster. While a numerical advantage makes it unlikely that Republicans would lose control of the House, GOP
viability in the Senate and the White House may be damaged for some time to come. More dangerous for our system is the possibility that a third party – one that splits the moderates off from the radicals – might emerge from this turmoil. We’ve heard all these dire predictions before in times of stress, but there is no ignoring the evidence of a cataclysmic reaction by Americans and the rest of the world over current lawmakers’ intransigence. Should the fiscal horror that still lurks ahead become more than a specter, a political revolution might be in the offing. We might contemplate taking the stairs or jumping out the window.

County encourages residents to review Land Development Code, ask questions EDITOR: This letter is written in response to Virginia Hatchett’s letter, which was published in the Tri-City Tribune on Friday, October 11. Ms. Hatchett’s letter raised a number of questions about the purposes and content of the proposed Land Development Code. That letter suggests the purposes for the San Juan County Land Development Code included abolishing agricultural land, requiring administrative approval to start a business, regulating the size of yards and the height of trees, and where cars can be parked. This letter responds to each of those points or questions. Agriculture is very much en-
couraged by the proposed Code. In fact, agriculture characterized by land uses that create or preserve areas intended primarily for the raising of animals and crops, conservation, and the secondary industries associated with agricultural production is allowed by right in all land use districts. The Code in no way regulates land ownership and it is designed to support and promote economic development. The Code establishes five land use districts, including both residential districts (Residential Neighborhood Protection District, Multiple-family Residential District) and nonresidential districts (Agriculture District, Commercial Highway District, Industrial District and the Multiple
Use District). All districts are “mixed use districts,” meaning that each district allows some residential and some nonresidential uses. There are few limitations on businesses in the nonresidential districts, and low impact home occupations and home businesses are allowed in the residential districts. Each district includes a minimum lot size of 0.75 acres, which is the minimum lot size eligible for a septic system under State Law. Much smaller lots are allowed where central sewer is provided or available. Tree height and location are regulated only at intersections and have been included to ensure safe sight distances for the safety
of the traveling public. Off-street parking requirements or “required parking” standards are established for each land use to ensure that each lot or parcel has sufficient off-street parking to accommodate the uses on the site and without burdening surrounding properties. Cars can be parked anywhere on a lot or parcel, but “required parking” is not allowed within the required front, side and rear yards (setbacks). It is important to keep in mind that these proposed standards and other contained within Article 5 of the proposed code only apply to new development in the county and would not apply retroactively to existing development. Finally, the new Land Devel-
opment Code does include enforcement provisions to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Code. San Juan County, like Ms. Hatchett, strongly encourages all citizens to review the proposed Land Development Code, ask questions, and provide comment back to us. Our goal is to deliver a wellbalanced code to the County Commission that addresses the land use concerns citizens have shared with us over the past seven years. Sincerely, Kim Carpenter San Juan County Executive Officer

their focus to annexing the north side of the highway and not the south side, because the north side was mainly commercial property, which could increase the city’s tax base. On the south side there was a significant amount of agricultural land including multiple acres owned by Tommy Bolack, who was not in favor of annexation.

Councilor Jason Sandel asked if Bolack could be excluded and the rest of the south side of the highway still be annexed. “Bolack represents more than half of the total ‘No’s’ of the area,” Holton said. “We didn’t have the greatest of response rates if you get down to it. We had a lot of property owners who didn’t say one way or the other.” While Sandel said he believes philosophically that expanding the city’s boundaries would be a good thing for economic development and growth, he struggles with only annexing the industrial side thus, “taking the money and providing services back to the resident.” He asked city staff to exclude Bolack’s property and see if the other property

owners would be in favor of the annexation. “It is the right thing to do for our city and it is the right thing to do for our growth and for our future,” Sandel said. Mayor Tommy Roberts asked Holton is she could “articulate a rational process from excluding Bolack from this annexation.” Holton said the fact is that the land is being used agriculturally and is not ready to develop. “You have to look at it from an equity point. If people are using city services, you have to look at it from a contribution standpoint,” Holton said. “I look at that piece of property as a very important piece of property in our community. It is a refuge,” Roberts said of Bolack’s land. Sandel suggested the city speak to Bolack to find out what his plans are for the property. Councilor Gayla McCulloch asked how much of the land on the south side of U.S. 64 was agricultural, if the Bolack property were excluded, because in her opinion it is difficult to conduct agricultural business and way of life in the city. “It’s difficult to shoot your varmints and burn your weeds,” McCulloch said. Darnell said he supported excluding the Bolack property as well as any BLM land along the highway. He did want to know if PESCO, TurboCare and ConocoPhillips would be in favor of annexation. Holton said PESCO and ConocoPhillips signed utility agreements, which allowed
the city to annex their property, when the process moves forward. TurboCare did not respond. Sandel wanted to know if there would be a tax benefit for the city to annex McGee Park, SunRay Park and Casino and the race track. City Manager Rob Mayes said there would not be a benefit, because the race track is tax exempt. He also reported that San Juan County is not in favor of having McGee Park annexed into the city. “I think they have a concern that we are going to cherry pick – take the industrial and leave the residential for them to provide services to,” Roberts said. “We should engage with the county and ask for some specifics. How much money are they going to lose and how much does it cost, rather than just a check in a box,” Sandel said. The Council approved a motion to move forward with cost-benefit analyses to annex the area along U.S. 64, but to exclude the federal land and further study the Bolack property. The city also looked at annexing50.48 acres on the other side of U.S. 64. The land west of Farmington is owned by Joe Kozimor, who made the request to be annexed into the city. Kozimor is the developer and the annexed area would be a place, where he plans to build low-income housing – “more squeezed together, less-expensive housing above
Water Works and a few more lots above Soaring Eagle,” Kozimor said. Councilor Dan Darnell asked whether the land would be part of “Smart Development” that includes light industrial, multi-family units and single residential houses. Kozimor said it was considered, but he felt he could build houses and offer them to families at a lower cost than rental options within the city. The Council decided to refer the issue to the Planning and Zoning Commission without a recommendation from Council. Then, the commission will report back the feasibility and decision about annexation. The final area up for annexation is 1,139.50 acres southwest of Farmington near the Bisti Highway. “Each of these annexations is at a different stage. This one we are very, very close, very close,” Holton said. The city had a community meeting at Sycamore Park Community Center to reconnect with property owners, many of which were more favorable toward annexation. “We have enough to proceed with the petition method,” Holton said, asking the Council to approve an update of the cost-benefit analysis for this area. She also asked to allow staff to contact people who gave a positive response to annexation and ask them to sign agreements. The Council agreed to move forward with the process.

her resume. Raichel was not selected in 2012. Jeff Bowman, former director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, instead hired Angie Arnold, an animal ranger from Texas, who claimed to have received a veterinary license in Germany. Arnold came under fire from animal rights advocacy groups that believed she was not doing her job to the best of her ability. The city fired her on Feb. 1, 2013, and brought in
Marcy Eckhardt, a consultant from Colorado, to oversee shelter operations. Raichel continued to work each Friday at the shelter and also continued to work with local Humane Societies, as well as Trap-Neuter-Release programs. She also became licensed by San Juan College to use her veterinary practice as an on-site training facility for the college’s veterinary technician program. When the opportunity came once again to apply for the shelter director posi-
tion, Raichel submitted her resume. Along with the resume, came an outcry from local animal advocates, who contacted the city in support of Raichel’s bid. Vicky Ramakka sent an Aug. 19 email to Mayor Tommy Roberts and the Farmington City Council endorsing Raichel for the job. “Dr. Raichel is well informed on the politics and problems faced by the city of Farmington and San Juan County. For the past several
years, she has coordinated with the San Juan Animal League in providing lowcost spay/neuter services,” Ramakka wrote. “She is among the local veterinarians that volunteer at the Animal Shelter to spay/neuter animals for adoption. She has a proven record of working with the Animal Shelter staff and with local animal welfare organizations.” Ramakka asked to city to give Raichel “strong consideration” for the job. “Dr. Raichel’s career in San Juan
County supports critical components of what is needed at this time for the shelter position – she has credibility in the community, credibility with local veterinarians and she cares about animal welfare,” Ramakka wrote. When Trudy Farrell, a member of the San Juan Animal League, learned Raichel did not make the cut through the work of the consultant, she sent an Aug. 30 email to Roberts and the Council expressing her disappointment.
Sandel Council majority of two councilors and a mayor blocking what I view is having an impact on progress of the community. I feel as if we are not focused on issues that matter,” Sandel said. “Ditto,” said Councilor Mary Fischer when told of Sandel’s decision and his reason for exiting the Council. This past year, Sandel fought a proposed gross receipts tax increase. He questioned the budgeting practices, asking City Manager Rob Mayes to keep the city operating within its means, instead of growing the budget to pay for city services. “I have been a fiscal hawk and ensured good, strong budgeting practices of living within our means, rather than looking for tax increases,” Sandel said. Sandel also believes the councilors and mayor do not have any interest in improving Farmington’s economic development options, tourism and land use planning. “They are stuck in the here and now, instead of looking to the future and moving forward,” he said. Part of the planning focus for Sandel, included pushing for a network of roads to move people safely through this community and, more specifically, throughout the north end of Farmington and in the Foothills. While he knows that some things are being left undone, Sandel hopes his successor will continue the “good fight for annexation, improving infrastructure within the city and continuing the attitude of no new taxes, live within your means,” he said. Sandel has a young family and is the vice-president of an oil and gas business with a nationwide presence. These responsibilities have placed demands on his time, so he will begin looking for a change of focus. “I very much am moving on with a heavy heart,” he said, adding he is trying to focus on where he can be most effective with his time. Despite his plans to not run for city Council in the March 2014 election, Sandel said he is not exiting the discussion about the city’s future. He wants to engage in conversations about how “to move the city forward rather than accepting what we’ve got today,” he said. “I very much plan on staying involved in politics and the debate about the future of our community,” Sandel said.

Gifted learning Conference looks at specialized education, protection for high achievers DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The first historical reference to children being gifted or talented in an educational setting came in 1868 when William Torrey Harris put efforts in place to educate gifted students. Harris, the superintendent of the St. Louis Public School’s System after the Civil War, “realized there were students with more ability than others,” said Scott Gullett, a teacher at the Public Academy for Performing Arts. Gullett was carrying on a decades-old conversation that began 145 years ago with Harris and continued the weekend of Oct. 4-5, at the Albuquerque Public School’s Offices, where the New Mexico Association for the Gifted had its annual conference. There were educators from across the state of New Mexico, which by law recognizes gifted and talented students as those in need of individualized education plans. Gifted students fall under the category of special education in New Mexico and state law requires they receive specialized instruction to meet their needs. “Gifted education came about because of a lot of different events,” Gullett said. Gifted students first were classified as “high achievers,” but then in 1905 French re-

searchers Binet and Simon began developing a series for tests to measure intelligence. Study and developments of new tests by different researchers continued, and the U.S. began putting a value on providing specialized education for students with higher intellect. “We are a nation that still recognizes that gifted education exists, because the students do, and the country values that,” Gullett said, adding the process that led to the development of gifted education has not been easy. Some students have been left out. In early years, it had to do with eugenics, and the creation of perfect race. In modern times, researchers and teachers have found that students with different racial profiles and a higher economic status tend to test better. “The broad picture has been from exclusion to in-
clusion,” Gullett said. Teachers today are looking for students with “gifted” tendencies and referring them for testing, regardless of color or socioeconomic status. Historically, “minorities were dumped out of gifted education at twice the rate of white kids,” said Geoffrey Moon, a gifted educator with Gallup Schools. Testing practices, however, have changed to incorporate a student’s background into the results. Minority students are afforded “factors” that allow for a bump in their test score, because they have not had the same opportunities as those of a higher socioeconomic status. This is important, according to Moon, because gifted children regardless of their background need specialized instruction. “There’s a whole body of evidence that goes back half a century that gifted students are different, and they need protection,” Gullett said.
The conference focused on protecting the rights of these children, as well as providing educational services to them that will keep them focused on learning and avoid them dropping out school before reaching graduation. “Research shows that between 18 percent and 25 percent of gifted students drop out of high school,” said Sara Dean, president of the San Juan County Association for Gifted Students. “Gifted students are also at high risk for existential depression. The socio-emotional needs of gifted children must be met beginning at the point of identification.” Gifted students’ needs can be met by teaching them alongside other gifted students, because they can relate to their peers and challenge each other on an academic level. It is up to the teachers to provide these opportunities within a classroom setting, while the gifted instructors become the advocates for the students. Gifted instructors and parents can ask that certain educational goals be developed around the student’s needs, but the students still have to follow the general education guidelines from which all students learn, and for New Mexico that means learning from the Common Core Standards, which began in 2011, after being signed

into law by Gov. Susana Martinez. New Mexico joined 45 other states and the District of Columbia in the adoption of Common Core State Standards, or CCSS, for public schooling. “The New Mexico Common Core State Standards are a different approach to learning, teaching and testing that engenders a deeper understanding of critical concepts and the practical application of that knowledge,” according to the New Mexico Public Education Department website. “Developed over many years, tested, and proven to be effective, these updated standards prepare students to be more ready for college and competitive in both national and international job markets.” The end goal of the CCSS, according to Ferdi Serim, is “for students to apply what they know in ways that are

useful in real life.” Serim is an IT business analyst at the New Mexico Public Education Department. “If we are only looking at test scores, we are looking at shadows of a performance,” he said. That is why CCSS is important. “Common Core is taking us to strategic thinking and extended thinking.” CCSS came from businesses talking to leaders in the schools and in government. These business professionals said they needed qualified workers, “people who could write sentences,” Serim said. CCSS can be achieved when teachers stop thinking about what they are doing and begin focusing on what the learner is doing. “All learning is done by the learner, and it has to be relevant, engaging applied learning,” Serim said. He supports using technology in learning because it provides “artifacts” through videos, PowerPoint presentations, photographs, etc. These types of presentations provide a way to validate the learning experience, and various aspects of the presentation show which core standards are being met. The idea is to get away from teaching to the test and move toward teaching creativity and critical thinking along with life skills. “If we can’t validate the learning, we don’t know if we should do more of it or less of it,” Serim said. “We can either do compliance or we can do growth.” CCSS provides the evidence of learning because it focuses on giving students a task that causes them to have to use the standards. Then they finish the task and the teacher has the evidence of learning. “We have more than 10,000 hours of practice at being mediocre. That is why New Mexico is at the bottom,” Serim said. The CCSS should help the state and its students reach the top.

Kidney disease in pets Most not preventable; can be treated successfully PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson cells associated with a drug or poison (such as antifreeze) • Polycystic kidney disease: A genetic condition in which functioning kidney cells undergo degeneration to become cysts and lose their ability to function properly • Kidney stones • Heart failure: Decreased blood supply to the kidneys (secondary to heart disease) can cause kidney cell damage, leading to kidney disease • Chronic kidney failure: (described above, also called chronic kidney disease) If kidney disease progresses, it can eventually lead to kidney failure and death. Kidney failure describes a condition in which kidney function decreases to such an extent that the kidneys are no longer able to effectively eliminate waste products, maintain hydration, and help regulate the balance of electrolytes in the blood. Despite how the term may sound, kidney failure doesn’t always mean that the kidneys stop producing urine altogether. In fact, because the kidneys can no longer concentrate urine, increased urine production (not decreased) is often one
of the key clinical signs associated with kidney failure. Urine production doesn’t stop completely until kidney failure has progressed to the very last stages. Kidney failure can occur acutely (over a period of hours or days) or chronically (usually over a period of weeks to months or longer). Antifreeze toxicosis is an example of a condition that can cause sudden onset (acute) kidney failure. If diagnosed quickly and treated aggressively, acute kidney failure can be reversed in some cases. By contrast, chronic kidney failure is not reversible. The kidneys are responsible for several important functions in the body, including: • Eliminating waste products through the urine • Producing a hormone involved in the production of red blood cells • Helping maintain the body’s fluid balance/hydration • Participating in the metabolism and elimination of many types of drugs • Helping regulate levels of important electrolytes such
as potassium and sodium When kidney disease develops, these functions don’t occur properly, resulting in illness and (frequent) further progression of disease. Common signs include: • Vomiting • Appetite loss • Increased drinking and urination ( This is the most common sign to watch for) • Lethargy (tiredness) • Weight loss • Unkempt coat (due to decreased grooming) • Back pain or abdominal pain (may be associated with acute kidney failure) The severity of clinical signs associated with kidney disease can vary depending on the presentation (acute or chronic), the extent to which the loss of kidney function has progressed, and the underlying cause. As with many other medical conditions, diagnosis of kidney disease frequently begins with a medical history. To help a veterinarian determine If your pet may be dealing with a kidney problem, tell him or her about any medications or supplements a pet has received; anything unusual that a pet may have eaten, drunk, or chewed; previous illnesses; or any current signs of illness. Diagnosis of kidney disease may require a combination of several tests: Vet-
erinarians may not recommend all these tests, but the following are frequently performed: CBC and chemistry profile: These tests are commonly performed together as part of a wellness screen or initial blood testing when a pet is ill. These tests provide an overview of many of your pet’s organ systems, including the kidneys. The CBC (complete blood cell count) shows the number of red blood cells (needed to carry oxygen to all the body’s tissues), white blood cells – the numbers of these cells may be reduced if a pet has kidney disease and is fighting off infection – and platelets. Because the kidneys are involved in the production of red blood cells, the number of these cells may be reduced if a pet has kidney disease (Particularly chronic kidney failure). The white blood cell count may also be abnormal if infection is present.
The chemistry profile includes several kidney values that can change if there is a problem with the kidneys, such as kidney disease or kidney failure. Radiography (X-rays): X-rays of your pet’s abdomen may show abnormally shaped kidneys, kidney stones, or kidneys that are enlarged or shrunken. Sonographic evaluation of the abdomen (ultrasound): Ultrasound is very useful for examining the kidneys. An ultrasound machine is connected to a small handheld probe that is held against your pet’s abdomen. The probe sends out painless sound waves that bounce off structures in the abdomen (such as the kidneys) and return to a sensor inside the ultrasound machine. This creates an image on a screen that shows your veterinarian

The kidneys play a vital role in your pet’s health, including removing waste from the blood, regulating electrolytes and blood pressure, and making hormones essential to calcium metabolism and red blood cell production. When the kidneys become damaged, whether through an infection, poisoning, or some other event, a pet can experience vomiting, appetite loss, frequent urination, back or abdominal pain, and other symptoms. Without treatment, kidney disease leads to kidney failure – and death. Treatments range from special diets to antibiotics to surgery, depending on the cause of the kidney disease. When most pet owners think of kidney (renal) disease they tend to think of chronic renal failure, the common degenerative process of older pets (cats, mostly) in which the kidneys gradually lose function over time. Yet kidney disease is a much more general term used to describe any one of many conditions that can affect the kidneys or damage kidney cells. Here are just a few medical conditions that can be associated with kidney disease: • Nephritis: Infection of the kidneys • Nephrotoxicosis: Is kidney toxicosis. Damage to kidney

Fashion Show
Head Shop, Jae Geo’s raise money for Get Pinked LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Local models worked the catwalk during a Get Pinked Fashion Show at San Juan College’s James C. Henderson Fine Arts Center on Oct. 11. The fashion show was organized by the Head Shop Salon and Day Spa in Farmington. Seven models showed off clothing from Clothing Revival located off of 20th Street and Jae Geo’s Bridal and Tuxedo, Inc., which is located in downtown Farmington.
The first part of the event involved models showing the audience various casual everyday looks. The second part involved the models wearing formal dresses. Head Shop Salon and Day Spa designed the models’ hairdos and makeup. “We have a group of girls here that enjoy giving back to the community, which is one of our missions. We have lost many clients to cancer and we feel this is a small gift that we can do,” said Janice Reynolds, Head Shop
Salon and Day Spa owner. Francine Post is the other salon owner who helped organize the fashion show. The Get Pinked Fashion Show raised money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund through a raffle drawing, where 17 local businesses donated gift baskets that were raffled off. The event raised $770 for the cancer fund. “It was a really neat experience and a lot of fun,” Reynolds said. “We are hoping to do it again next year.”
Little Texas here Friday night
Band ready to ‘play hard, loud’ at Get Pinked Soirée LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The well-known country band that has aspired to change the sound of modern country music, Little Texas, is prepared to “play hard, loud, and just entertain” during the Oct. 18 Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree, said Duane Propes, the band’s bass guitarist and background vocalist. Little Texas will take the Farmington Civic Center stage during the third annual cancer awareness event, to play their classics and recent hits. This performance also is part of the bands 25th anniversary tour. Little Texas is comprised of Propes, Lead Vocalist and Guitarist Porter Howell, Drummer Del Gray, and Vocalist and Rhythm Guitarist Dwayne O’Brien. Little Texas was conceived in Nashville, Tenn., by a group of young musicians in their early 20s. “We were the youngest band to be signed to a record label. Before that, if you had a band, you had to have a
beard and be in your mid30s or you weren’t taken seriously,” Propes said. To get their name out there, the band traveled throughout the United States playing in small venues from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Los Angeles, Calif. During their first three years, it wasn’t uncommon for Little Texas to play more than 300 shows a year without a bus, driver, or tour support from a label. The band members’ hardwork and dedication earned them the title, “The Hardest Band in County Music.” “We have since learned that we don’t have to work that hard because we all have families and kids. We usually cap our years on 90 shows now,” Propes explained. “But, we still go out there and just play so hard. Every show – whether it is for 500 or 5,000 people, it will be a strong show.” In 1991, Little Texas released its first radio release, Some Guys Have All The Love, which became a top 10 hit as well as their second single, First Time For Everything.
The band then released their second album, “Big Time,” which sold more than 3 million copies. The three number one singles from the album are What Might Have Been, God Blessed Texas, and My Love. Because of this album, Little Texas received its first CMT Award, a Billboard Award, a Radio & Records Award and a Grammy nomination. Little Texas’ first arenaheadlining tour began after they released the album, “Kick A Little.” Their tour continued through 1995, finishing as the fifth largestgrossing tour of the year. This was when Little Texas also received two more Grammy nominations and released their greatest hits album. In 1997, the band members separated to spend more time with family and friends and to work on individual projects. That separation lasted for seven years, and then, Little Texas reunited and started creating new music. “A lot of people wanted us
back and to hear the band. The four of us said we owe it to our fans and ourselves to take this thing back out,” Propes explained. The music industry changed when Little Texas was not together, Propes said. “The Internet took over as far as Internet distribution and it was a big learning curve to catch up with what was going on in social media.” In 2007, Little Texas released the album, “Missing Years.” Within the same month of releasing that album, the band also released
its first live album on May 15, 2007, titled “The Very Best of Little Texas: Live & Loud.” Twenty-five years after Little Texas’ inception, the band members are still hard at work creating new music and touring the country The band members look forward to performing at the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree. “It is a great cause and we love doing this because it benefits so many people,” he said about the event, which will raise money for the local Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer

THE FANTASY GEEK Rick Hoerner
Tough fantasy week in most of my leagues. I went after Julio Jones and Jimmy Graham early in most of PPR leagues. With Jones out for the year and Graham putting up a big goose egg this week, it was like losing your two best scorers. I am thankful, however, that I stashed Justin Blackmon away just in case, and have done the same with Percy Harvin. Here’s hoping the second move works out as well as the first one did so far. Each week the Fantasy Geek will give you some unsolicited advice on playing NFL Fantasy Football. Realizing that the Thursday night game is already over, players from Thursday’s game will not be in consideration, and since most leagues let you change players that haven’t played yet, every other squad is fair game. Each week we’ll look at the players that led to victory or disaster in Love Them and Loathe Them followed by a section on Studs and Duds, who you may look at starting and sitting this week. Finally, there will be a quick section on pick-ups on the waiver wire for some players that may be available in your league. Last Week with The Geek… Week No. 6 Record – 4-6 40 percent Overall Record – 42-18 70 percent Love Them … Panthers QB Cam Newton – 272 Yards, 4 TDs and no turnovers Eagles QB Nick Foles – 298 Yards, 4 TDs, What to do with Vick?

Senior running back Demarcus Rogers announced he will not finish the remainder of the season. He cites lingering knee and ankle injuries as the reason. “My teammates and people within the program know I have been dealing with injuries that have kept me from reaching my full potential,” Rogers said. “It was not an easy choice to make, but I feel it was the best decision for me and my family. I’m thankful for the opportunity I had to play for coach (Bob) Davie, and I’m excited about what’s next for me. I told my teammates today that I love them and I’m rooting for them.” Rogers, a 5-foot-11, 180pound back from Oak Ridge, Tenn., finished his Lobo career with 108 rushes for 410 yards and six touchdowns. He also had 11 career receptions for 40 yards. “It was obviously a very A fourth of the school year is already gone and it’s the last weekend of the nondistrict football season with district firing away next week.

I’m looking forward to seeing him graduate, and I wish him the best of luck moving forward.” Magic 8-ball It was a week of preseason predictions for the Lobos and Aggies this week. Ladies first. The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team is projected for another middle of the pack season. This week the Mountain West Preseason Poll was released. The Lobos are picked to finish fourth in the conference. Fresno State is the favorite.
MWC Women’s Basketball Poll 1. Fresno State 2. Wyoming 3. San Diego State 4. New Mexico 5. UNLV 6. Utah State 7. Colorado State 8. Boise State 9. San Jose State 10. Nevada 11. Air Force
“The Mountain West is a very competitive league and wide open this season. I think this poll reflects just how competitive the conference will be. While our place in the poll doesn’t come as a surprise, it doesn’t change this team’s goal. We want to compete for a conference championship,” said UNM Head Coach Yvonne Sanchez. Sanchez is starting her third season in charge of the program. She feels that
the Mountain West can have multiple teams get to the NCAA Tournament this year. “I think the last 3 or 4 years we’ve been down and we have to get better,” Sanchez told me. “I think we will be better.” The Mountain West has been the 5th or 6th best conference in the country in previous years. Sanchez feels that they can get back to that kind of status. “It’s time to start knocking off some teams in the non-conference. I think we can get multiple bids this year.” New Mexico did not have a player selected to the preseason all-conference team. New Mexico finished fourth in the Mountain West last season with a record of 17-14. This year’s team includes returners Sara Halasz and Deeva Vaughn. Reigning MW Sixth Player of the Year, Antiesha Brown, returns for her junior season as the Lobos return nine letter winners from last year’s team.

“Anytime we get selected at the top it creates a challenge to try to defend the target that is on our back,” said head coach Marvin Menzies. “We have to be able to use this for motivation, and at the same time we need to make sure we have our humility intact.” A pair of Aggies were honored in the preseason selections. NMSU’s junior Daniel Mullings was voted the WAC Preseason Player of the Year. The guard averaged 13.8 points per game last season. NMSU’s Sim Bhullar earned first team preseason honors as
well. He was voted the Newcomer of the Year last season. The sophomore big man averaged 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game as a freshman. I’ll volunteer for this assignment I’ve been lucky enough to cover the Lobo football team at bowl games in Las Vegas, San Francisco and even right here in Albuquerque. I’ve also suffered through three consecutive one-win seasons. I deserve something for having to be subjected to three straight 11-loss seasons,
don’t I? How about a trip to the Bahamas? The Bahamas Bowl will join the bowl lineup in 2014 as the only postseason college football game outside of the United States. The inaugural Bahamas Bowl will kick off in December 2014. The Mountain West is one of five conferences that will be represented on a rotational basis in the Bahamas. Conference USA, the MidAmerican Conference, Sun Belt Conference and the American Athletic Conference are the others involved.
“The Bahamas Bowl will provide a wonderful bowl destination for deserving student-athletes,” said Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson in a released statement. “In addition to the competitive opportunity, the cultural experience and the chance to travel abroad will make this game unique in the postseason college football landscape.” I’m not holding my breath or packing my bags just yet, but maybe thoughts of a trip to the Bahamas can get us all through another struggling season.

Woodson the structure of your pet’s internal organs. The ultrasound can also “look inside” organs (like the kidneys) to detect masses, stones, cysts, or other problems. Urinalysis: Evaluation of a urine sample from your pet can provide critical information about kidney functioning. Urine that is too diluted, contains abnormal cellular debris, or contains protein and other material that should not be present can indicate that a pet may have kidney disease. Kidney biopsy: A pathologist may need to evaluate a sample of kidney tissue. A sample may be retrieved either via ultrasoundguided method or surgical intervention. Breed predisposition to renal disease depends on the distinct disease entity affecting the pet. For chronic renal failure in both dogs and cat, for example, there appears to be no breed disposition. The Basenji is particularly affected by Fanconi syndrome, a disease in which the kidney’s ability to reabsorb water and other molecules is impaired. It’s also been described in the Norwegian Elkhound, Shetland Sheepdog, and Schnauzer, though its incidence is far lower for those breeds. A familial type of kidney infection called glomerulonephritis has been reported in some breeds such as Bernese Mountain dogs and Soft Coated Wheaton Terriers. In cats, polycystic kidney disease is more prevalent among Persians and members of the exotic shorthair breeds. Treatment of kidney disease can vary depending on the underlying cause and the patient’s overall condition. For example, if a pet has kidney stones, surgery may be recommended as the best treatment. Pets that are severely ill from kidney disease or kidney failure may need hospitalization or intensive care to recover. In other cases, antibiotics, fluids, and other medications given on an outpatient basis are effective. There are even special diets (low protein) and dietary supplements that can help some pets with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease and chronic kidney failure are progressive, irreversible conditions. Treatment generally focuses on slowing the progression of disease and improving quality of life for the patient. Pets can sometimes experience a good quality of life for many years after being diagnosed with kidney disease or kidney failure as long as they are compensating by drinking extra water, which is like self-dialysis. Although most cases of kidney disease are not preventable, regular physical examination and wellness screening tests can increase the chances of early diagnosis and treatment.

Year around color
‘Gulf Stream’ beautiful addition to your yard Every year around this time plants throughout town begin to show their true colors. You can’t drive through a neighborhood and not notice the red maples glowing in the autumn sun or the cottonwoods, ash or locust beaming in brilliant gold and yellows. This is the time of year people either appreciate the selection of fall colors of their yards, or realize that they didn’t properly plan for full seasonal interest. This week I want to introduce a plant that is often overlooked and underappreciated for what it does. Most trees and shrubs that create such a show in the fall eventually lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter. There are not many plants that truly give year round interest. Nandina domestica “Gulf Stream” is one of those plants that will perform the entire year. Nandina is one of the best

not force the company to drop pilots,” he said. Mayes added that flights could continue to be cancelled. “We are a non-subsidized airport, so we may be first on the list for them to cancel,” Mayes said, adding that enplanement numbers were affected by the cancellation of flights to and from Las Vegas, Nev., and Phoenix. Mayes said the La Plata County Airport also has had difficulty with Frontier pulling back on flights. “Our region has had it pretty good. We are down and Durango is too,” Mayes said. The La Plata County Airport, however, is the fifth largest in Colorado, with expectations of serving nearly 200,000 passengers in 2013, according to published reports. Airport Aviation Director Kip Turner even told The Durango Herald that the airport could offer international flights to Mexico and Canada in the next five years. There also are plans to build a new terminal at the facility. Sandel stated that Four Corners Economic Development recently “celebrated” the fact that the La Plata County Airport did not secure a flight to Houston, Texas, and that is something he said “degrades the entire community.” Sandel on his own dime has hired a consultant to look at the Farmington’s airport and offer some ad-
vice. “I do believe it is something we need a staff member to drive and push for an accomplishment, rather than to say we should be happy with what we’ve got,” he said. Mayor Tommy Roberts asked Sandel what his purpose was for the study. Sandel said he refused to believe there were no solutions to the problem and he was told by the consultant that there might be an airline willing to serve this community. “I’m looking for different direction,” Sandel said. “We’ve beat this dead horse and I don’t think he is going to ride anymore.” Mayes said Campbell would attend a conference next week to try and bring new airlines into the area.
Gressick City Manager Rob Mayes blamed new federal requirements for the flight cancellations and pilot shortage, saying he only expects “statistics to get worse.” The shortage could lead to Great Lakes Airlines not being able to maintain scheduled flights. Monica Taylor-Lee, the public relations director for Great Lakes Airlines, sent a memo to Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell in early August to outline the airline’s plans, after the federal law requiring first officers to have the same minimum standards as captain went into effect. “Great Lakes had a group of first-officers that fell slightly short of the minimum standards when the law took effect,” Monica Taylor-Lee wrote. “We are diligently working with this group to bring them up to the required standards with the goal of returning them to firstofficer status by the end of August.” She wrote that the airline chose to “pre-cancel flights to allow our passengers to be re-accommodated in a timely manner.” Taylor-Lee also asked the airport’s employees to refer passengers to a website about the FAA pilot qualification standards. Sandel did not believe the pilot issue to be the main contributing factor to Great Lakes cancelling flights. “The new law did

Fundraising and exercising Race to educate raises $30,000; 1,000 walk or roll to school LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Farmington students were encouraged to exercise during two recent activities – the International Walk to School Day on Oct. 9 and the Race to Educate on Oct. 12. The Race to Educate was organized by The Farmington Municipal Schools Foundation for Excellence. The race consisted of a half-marathon, 10K run and 5K walk or run. “We are thrilled with the turnout and the results,” the Foundation’s Board President Dolores Cammon said about the 225 people who participated in the race. “It was fun to watch the community come together and support education in that way.” More than $30,000 was raised for the Foundation, which will be used to award grants for teachers to fund classroom projects. “We have teachers who do amazing things that are more than they have to do. They want to do more, and this helps them do

that,” Cammon said. At the race, Cammon said she noticed many elementary and middle school students participating. “There are a lot of extra things going on to help kids be conscious about their health,” Cammon explained. Students also had an opportunity to exercise before school during the International Walk to School Day, which was organized
by Farmington Walk and Roll, part of the national Safe Routes to School program. This program promotes the health and wellbeing of children by encouraging them to walk and bicycle to school. Five elementary schools – Animas, Apache, Ladera Del Norte, McKinley, and Mesa Verde – participated in International Walk to School Day. An estimated 1,000 students participated in the event.
“I think this is important because it raises consciousness that there are lots of elementary school children who walk to school and the public needs to pay attention to them. This elevates the discussion of safety,” said Farmington Mayor Tommy Roberts, who walked with several students to McKinley Elementary. “This encourages families to feel comfortable about their children walking to school.” As students crossed the crosswalk, Walk and Roll Director Angela Wakan handed them snap bracelets that read International Walk to School Day. “This is a benefit in so many ways. Kids can be active before school, know the community around them, and parents also have a chance to meet more parents,” Wakan said. “Walking school buses,” were trained adults who picked up the students along the way to school during the event. “The ‘walking school buses’ were started today and there are 10 volunteers in the community who are a part of that,” Wakan said. Adrian Cooper, a parent to a
kindergartener at McKinley Elementary, said “it is important for kids to walk to school because it helps them learn better. My son does really well in school and he walks to school every day.” Even though there usually are many students who walk to McKinley Elementary, Crossing Guard Shaylyn Ridgley said she saw many new faces during International Walk to School Day. She emphasized that students need to be cautious when walking to school. “I always try to keep them away from the road when they are waiting. They cannot walk across the street until I’m in the middle of the street.” Wakan encourages other school districts to participate in International Walk to School Day because students stay focused in school and it gives them daily exercise. “Everyone has done such a great job in getting this program started at the schools.” If interested in becoming a “walking school bus volunteer,” visit the website www.farmingtonwalkandroll.org.
Contract awarded
FMS awards contraction for Northeast, Hermosa renovations LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The Farmington School Board awarded a contract to Albuquerque-based FBT Architects to determine the scope of renovations that are needed at Northeast Elementary School and Hermosa Middle School. Two separate procurement processes were conducted in choosing an architecture firm to complete the professional design services for each school, according to Ted Lasiewicz, the school district’s chief of operations. “We are delighted to be selected on this project,” said Sanjay Engineer, FBT Architects principal, during the Oct. 10 school board meeting. “We should have good news when we complete the first studies and come back and report to you.” FBT Architects also designed the new Tibbetts Middle School building on Twin Peaks Boulevard.
Northeast Elementary School in Farmington is in need of seven additional classrooms because of the growing student population. Albuquerquebased FBT Architects was awarded a contract by the school board to determine if the school should undergo these renovations or be rebuilt.
The renovations at Hermosa include a sewer line replacement and updating of the office lobby, gym, stage, locker rooms, kitchen, and the home economics and art sections of the building. The roof also needs to be upgraded since it was redone nine years ago. At Northeast, the renovations include the addition of seven classrooms, new windows, and upgrades to the electrical system, heating and air condition systems, and roofing.
The addition of seven classrooms is a necessity since the school’s population is growing quickly. The building is 49,651 square feet and should be around 70,000 square feet, according to Marilyn Strube, vice president and facility planner at Albuquerque-based Greer Stafford SJCF Architecture, which helps Farmington Schools prioritize its building projects. School Board Vice President Mike Isaacson said that due to Northeast’s con-
Hermosa Middle School is one of the oldest schools in Farmington and is in need of renovations including a sewer line replacement and upgrades of the roof.
dition, the school building could experience a full replacement. “The first couple of tasks are to do a study and to give us a professional opinion on what we should do and how much money we should put into this.” To determine whether Northeast will be renovated or replaced, Lasiewicz said “… is a matter of doing a feasibility analysis to determine the scope of work that needs to be done. If we reach a certain dollar amount, then it could negate renovation and favor complete replacement.”
Depending on FBT Architect’s opinion, the school board then will decide to renovate Northeast or replace the entire school building. “In the next couple of months, the design professional hired will work with the school district’s design committee and arrive at a conclusion to renovate or replace,” Lasiewicz said. In March, the school board applied for and was awarded a New Mexico Public School Capital Outlay Council grant that will help fund the two renovation projects. The estimated
renovation cost for Northeast is $12.2 million and at Hermosa, $10.1 million. For each project, the state will pay 60 percent and the district will pay 40 percent of the total costs. “If the decision is made to replace Northeast, there will be a cost impact. Assuming there is additional funding needed, yes, the district will seek additional funds from the state,” Lasiewicz said. He added it could cost an estimated $14 million to rebuild Northeast. “We did McKinley Elementary School for $10 million and the building is slightly smaller so yes, it is conceivable.” FBT Architects and the school district’s design committee began the design process for Northeast and Hermosa this week. The renovations or possible rebuild of Northeast are expected to begin in the summer of 2014.
Voice of the People Award
County fire department recognized for dedication, professionalism LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The San Juan County Fire Department recently received a Voice of the People Award for Transformation in Fire Services from the International City/County Management Association, or ICMA. County staff recognized the fire department’s achievement dur-
ing an Oct. 15 County Commission meeting. “We were one of eight jurisdictions receiving this award nationwide for transformations that have this level of increase in our fire services. It is pretty significant that we are receiving an award of this nature,” County Operations Officer Mike Stark said. Award recipients were identified from all jurisdictions that con-
ducted the National Research Center, or NRC, survey in 2012. “Why we received this award is a result of our participation in a national citizen survey. ICMA and NRC put the surveys together and look at improvements,” Stark explained. San Juan County received this award because the fire department had a service quality rating improvement that was significantly
higher than the rating from its most recent prior survey. Fire Chief Doug Hatfield said when the citizen survey was conducted in 2009, the fire department’s approval rating was 78; however, the 2012 survey showed the fire department’s approval rating jumped to 88 percent. “We improved in overall ratings of public safety services,” he explained. “This (award) is because of pro-
fessionalism and dedication and contributions (the volunteer firefighters) made to the citizens of San Juan County. Through the training they have committed to – to responding to calls – the volunteers and their services received this award,” Hatfield said. The winning jurisdictions were recognized at the ICMA’s 99th Annual Conference in Boston, Mass., on Sept. 23.

at the movies ESCAPE PLAN Rating: R Synopsis: One of the world's foremost authorities on structural security agrees to take on one last job: breaking out of an ultra-secret, high-tech facility called "The Tomb." Deceived and wrongly imprisoned, Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) must recruit fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to help devise a daring, nearly impossible plan to escape from the most protected and fortified prison ever built.
DON JON Rating: R Synopsis: Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she's determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Kirtland Central High National Honor Society students, wearing safety harnesses tethered to a rope, took turns climbing a telephone pole at the Red Eagle Challenge Ropes Course in Shiprock, then walked across a horizontal telephone pole to the next vertical pole – 60 feet above the ground. The first student up was senior Brittany Lake, a new member of the New Mexico National Guard, who stopped, waved, and smiled, as she walked along the one-foot wide pole. She showed no fear climbing up, walking across, and then rappelling down. Lake had put her trust not only in herself, but in the person on the ground holding the rope.

Golf Ball Drop, carnival at Riverside on Oct. 19 FIRST TEE Tom Yost The San Juan County Life Skills Foundation is hosting their 2nd Annual Helicopter Golf Ball Drop and Nine Core Values Golf Carnival. Raffle tickets are being sold throughout the county. The event is Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m., at Riverside Golf Course Once sold, ticket numbers will be transferred to golf balls that are going
to be dropped from the San Juan Regional Medical Center Helicopter. The balls will be dropped at a few hundred feet onto a bulls-eye that will be painted in the middle of the driving range at Riverview Golf Course. The middle of the bullseye will have a hole large enough for a golf ball to fit into and will be deep enough to fit 7 golf balls deep.
Prizes will be awarded based on the golf balls being in the hole or in proximity in closeness to the hole. The first prize will be $1,500 cash with subsequent prizes including a guided fishing trip from T.J. Massey at San Juan River Outfitters, a Taylor Made SLDR Driver, a $700 golf package from the Glacier Club, various gift certificates, golf lessons, rounds of golf and much more. The helicopter golf ball drop is going to be the
culminating event of the day, but will be preceded by the Nine Core Values Golf Carnival. The carnival is a showcase of The First Tee program to the community and will have tents available with golf instruction, golf activities and prizes associated with The First Tee Nine Core Values (Honesty, Integrity, Confidence, Respect, Perseverance, Responsibility, Courtesy, Judgment and Sportsmanship). The event is free to the community and golf balls will be available for purchase leading up to and on the day of the event. Golf balls will be sold for $5 per ball or $20 for 5 golf balls. “Last years event was well attended and nearly 1,000 golf balls were dropped from the San Juan Regional Medical Center Helicopter,” said Executive Director Tom Yost. “This year we are expecting over double that total. Bring the entire family out for the event and experience what The First Tee is about and how the entire family can become involved.” All proceeds from the golf ball drop will go towards The First Tee of San Juan County, NM operating budget. Every year, The First Tee impacts over 8,000 youth by teaching them life skills and character values through golf in schools, after school and during summer programs.

Mr. Potato Head up for grabs County, Aztec and Bloomfield collecting items for ECHO Food Bank LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune They donated 21,842 pounds of food last year, and now, San Juan County and the cities of Aztec and Bloomfield are battling it out once again in the 4th Annual Food Drive Challenge for ECHO, Inc. More than 850 employees participated in last year’s challenge, and this year they are competing once again for the prize, which is bragging rights for a year and the much coveted Mr. Potato Head Trophy. “The biggest thing is to help out others. I think it is special for our employees to give back, and if we can help the community out through this, I think is a great thing,” County CEO Kim Carpenter said. Last year, the county won the trophy with county employees donating 17,243 pounds of non-perishable food items. “It is a neat competition
in that there are no losers,” Carpenter said. “It is about giving back to people and that in itself is what humanity is about.” San Juan County also has started a smaller challenge, in which whatever department donates the most food will receive a pizza party from the county CEO’s office. “We have got some good, friendly competition going on,” Carpenter explained. This year, Echo Food Bank also will accept monetary donations from county and city employees. With monetary donations, ECHO can contract with food vendors, enabling them to purchase more food. Each dollar donated is equivalent to three pounds of food and can be used towards bulk food purchases. “The employees loved the idea of monetary donations. They knew it was a win and that’s why we chose to go with that,” said Theresa Day, document specialist for the

and money donations will take place at San Juan County’s McGee Park on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Little Texas here Friday night
Band ready to ‘play hard, loud’ at Get Pinked Soirée LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The well-known country band that has aspired to change the sound of modern country music, Little Texas, is prepared to “play hard, loud, and just entertain” during the Oct. 18 Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree, said Duane Propes, the band’s bass guitarist and background vocalist. Little Texas will take the Farmington Civic Center stage during the third annual cancer awareness event, to play their classics and recent hits. This performance also is part of the band’s 25th anniversary tour. Little Texas is comprised of Propes, Lead Vocalist and Guitarist Porter Howell, Drummer Del Gray, and Vocalist and Rhythm Guitarist Dwayne O’Brien. Little Texas was conceived in Nashville, Tenn., by a group of young musicians in their early 20s. “We were the youngest band to be signed to a record label. Before that, if you had a band, you had to have a beard and be in your mid-30s or you weren’t taken seriously,” Propes said. To get their name out there, the band traveled throughout the United States playing in small venues from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Los Angeles, Calif. During their first three years, it wasn’t uncommon for Little Texas to play more than 300 shows a year without a bus, driver,
or tour support from a label. The band members’ hard-work and dedication earned them the title, “The Hardest Band in County Music.” “We have since learned that we don’t have to work that hard because we all have families and kids. We usually cap our years on 90 shows now,” Propes explained. “But, we still go out there and just play so hard. Every show – whether it is for 500 or 5,000 people, it will be a
strong show.” In 1991, Little Texas released its first radio release, Some Guys Have All The Love, which became a top 10 hit as well as their second single, First Time For Everything. The band then released their second album, “Big Time,” which sold more than 3 million copies. The three number one singles from the album are What Might Have Been, God Blessed Texas, and My Love. Because of this album,
Little Texas received its first CMT Award, a Billboard Award, a Radio & Records Award and a Grammy nomination. Little Texas’ first arenaheadlining tour began after they released the album, “Kick A Little.” Their tour continued through 1995, finishing as the fifth largestgrossing tour of the year. This was when Little Texas also received two more Grammy nominations and released their greatest hits album.
In 1997, the band members separated to spend more time with family and friends and to work on individual projects. That separation lasted for seven years, and then, Little Texas reunited and started creating new music. “A lot of people wanted us back and to hear the band. The four of us said we owe it to our fans and ourselves to take this thing back out,” Propes explained. The music industry
changed when Little Texas was not together, Propes said. “The Internet took over as far as Internet distribution and it was a big learning curve to catch up with what was going on in social media.” In 2007, Little Texas released the album, “Missing Years.” Within the same month of releasing that album, the band also released its first live album on May 15, 2007, titled “The Very Best of Little Texas: Live & Loud.” Twenty-five years after Little Texas’ inception, the band members are still hard at work creating new music and touring the country The band members look forward to performing at the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree. “It is a great cause and we love doing this because it benefits so many people,” he said about the event, which will raise money for the local Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund. At the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree, Propes said the guests should expect “a lot of high energy. We involve the crowd. Everything we do the crowd is probably 80 percent of the show. We do not accept people sitting at their tables; we want everyone up and raising hell like us.” Little Texas members will be available for autographs at the event.

Fashion Show
Head Shop, Jae Geo’s raise money for Get Pinked LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Local models worked the catwalk during a Get Pinked Fashion Show at San Juan College’s James C. Henderson Fine Arts Center on Oct. 11. The fashion show was organized by the Head Shop Salon and Day Spa in Farmington. Seven models showed off clothing from Clothing Revival located off of 20th Street and Jae Geo’s Bridal and Tuxedo, Inc., which is located in downtown Farmington. The first part of the event involved models showing the audience various casual everyday looks. The second part involved the models wearing formal dresses. Head Shop Salon and Day Spa designed the models’ hairdos and makeup. “We have a group of girls here that enjoy giving back to the community, which is one of our missions. We have lost many clients to cancer and we feel this is a small gift that we can do,” said Janice Reynolds, Head Shop Salon and Day Spa owner. Francine Post is the other salon owner who helped organize the fashion show. The Get Pinked Fashion Show raised money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund through a raffle drawing, where 17 local businesses donated gift baskets that were raffled off. The event raised $770 for the cancer fund. “It was a really neat experience and a lot of fun,” Reynolds said. “We are hoping to do it again next year.”

Four Corners Innovations Inc. New research park to turn great ideas into profitable endeavors LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Many of us do not have a clear definition of what a research park is, but Four Corners Innovations Inc. in a partnership with San Juan College has a full grasp of the concept and is on the way to developing much needed revenues for the college. Research parks are often linked with major research universities. They exist to create linkages between the university, industry, and the community. The result of research parks is converting new research into new businesses that generate new jobs. San Juan College recently announced it will follow in the footsteps of several higher education institutions in New Mexico and develop a research park. The name of this research park is Four Corners Innovations Inc. “We are in its infancy stages. We are just now initiating it and getting our bylaws in place,” said San Juan College President Dr. Toni Hopper Pendergrass, adding the research park will help “encourage innovation and provide additional revenue to the college.”
Educational institutions in New Mexico are allowed to have research parks because of The University Research Park Act, which was enacted by state legislature in 1978. The purpose of the University Research Park Act is to “promote the public welfare and prosperity of the people in New Mexico, foster economic development within New Mexico, and engage in other cooperative ventures of innovative technological significance that will advance education, science, research, conservation, health or economic development within New Mexico,” according to Section 21-28-2 of the act. The idea of creating a research park at San Juan College came from an implementation team at the college called Grow San Juan. “What they do is they come up with proposals and then share them with the executive leadership team,” Pendergrass said. The executive leadership team saw the benefits of having a research park and decided to create Four Corners Innovations Inc. “The members are nominated by the San Juan College Board. They are comprised of community members from different market sectors in our community so it represents all of

our schools at the college.” The FCI Board’s purpose is to review the research projects and decide “if we want to build a partnership. We have a process where we ask does this have merit and will this patent enable monetary recoveries,” said Dr. James Henderson, who is a member of the Four Corners Innovation Board. “Universities have been doing this for years. What (a research park) will do for the college is it enables this college to become involved in things that actually will be extremely beneficial because there will be monetary values,” Henderson added. There are a “myriad” of ways a research park can generate revenue for the college, Pendergrass explained. “If (someone) writes a book that is highly marketable then the college can share in revenue or if someone has a patent or invention that is highly marketable then the college can also share in revenue.” At the School of Energy, having a research park allows for the school to help other energy institutions improve their education and training programs. “San Juan College is one of the top three as far as developing education and developing training for the energy
industry,” Dean of the School of Energy and CEO of Four Corners Innovations Inc. Randy Pacheco said. “We want to establish quality within various community colleges that want to mimic the education and training we are doing. Currently there is no mechanism in which to do that. But San Juan College has put lots of money into the School of Energy so we want to be able to help other institutions but not give away all of San Juan College’s investments.” Several future research projects that will be conducted by the School of Energy will be funded through “some initial revenues” that were generated through out of state training and an energy conference that was held in the springtime, Pendergrass said. Other schools in New Mexico that have a research extension include Santa Fe Community College, the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. “We are more than just a community college; we are willing to take on research. This is looking at ideas that can spawn from inside the community and really move the college,” Pacheco said.
students from Alco in Kirtland so that we can also be supporting a local business. “Last year we raised over $300 for childhood cancer research,” she added. “We volunteer at elementary school science fairs. Our big project each year is to read to kindergartners at Ojo Amarillo Elementary. We also give each student a book to take home and keep.” Earlier, pragmatism and adrenaline took over as students slowly formed a human chain, balancing on a cable two feet above the ground. They kept their balance – and their neighbors’ – by holding onto each other’s hands as they slowly moved down the cable for another student to join the chain. It was in everyone’s interest that no one fall. “We started with icebreakers. We’ll move into trust builders, and low initiatives for team building, and ... then for high initiatives for individual challenge,” said Red Eagle Challenge Ropes Course instructor Orlando Pioche.
“We’re here to teach some of the aspects of team building such as trust, support, reaching out and supporting somebody else, being able to ask for support, risk taking, communication,” he added. The individual challenge was both mental and physical. In one exercise, the group – comprising about 20 people – stood in a circle. The first person described themselves with a single flattering adjective, followed by their name. The second person repeated what the first person said, and then added their own flattering adjective and their name. Everyone in the circle – including the final person – successfully repeated every person’s adjective to describe themselves, and their name. Students must have a 3.5 GPA or higher, plus fill out an application, as part of the process to become a member of the Kirtland Central High School National Honor Society.

Fourth times the charm
Todd Wells turns in his first Road Apply Rally win LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The unique terrain allowed for bicyclists to speed down trails racing for the finish line during the annual Road Apple Rally race at Lions Wilderness Park in Farmington. On Oct. 5, more than 200 bicyclists ventured to Farmington to compete in the traditional race. The Road Apple Rally is the longest running mountain biking race in the United States and has been a tradition in Farmington for more than 30 years. It started in 1981 as a race between equestrians and bicyclists. The race encourages various ages to compete, either in the 15-mile loop for beginners or the 30-mile loop for advanced bicyclists. From several western states, 210 bicyclists came to compete in the race, including one individual from San Diego, Calif.,
said Shawn Lyle, race coordinator. “The terrain out here allows for bicyclists to go fast” through the course, Lyle said. “The
weather also has always cooperated and it is great for the riders.” Garrett Farmer, 15, from Farmington, won the overall
short course, finishing with a time of 59 minutes and 22 seconds. The several race categories offered for the long course were
professional, expert, sport, and single speed. Todd Wells, 37, from Durango won the overall long course professional category, finishing the course in 1 hour and 42 minutes. Wells is a professional mountain bicyclist and has competed in the Road Apple Rally four times, with his first time in 1996. “I race all over the world, so when I happen to have a weekend off and it is around the time of Road Apple Rally, I always get down to Farmington. It is one of the most enjoyable cross country courses we have here,” Wells said. The reason why Wells enjoys the course is because it is a “very fast” course. “I think we average 17 miles per hour, and on normal courses we average 12 miles per hour. It is almost like a giant BMX track.” For complete results, visit the website chasing3.com and click on the “Results” tab.
