Shelter director
Stacie Voss Senator supports natural gas exports, exploration takes helm on Dec. 3 DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune An animal shelter director was named Oct. 22 and she will start work Dec. 3 at the newly constructed Farmington Regional Related Story Animal Shelter. A2 Stacie Voss, of Omaha, Neb., accepted the position of Animal Welfare Director for the city of Farmington. She comes to the community from a position of director of veterinary services at the Nebraska Humane Society. Voss was one of three candidates recommended by Strategic Government Resources, a Keller, Texas-based recruiting company, hired to fill the shelter director position, which has been vacant since February after the city fired former director Angie Arnold. Voss was the second choice after Bob Citrullo, who works for Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption, decided to not accept the position.

U.S. Senator Tom Udall, D-N.M., is speaking out about his support for natural gas exports and exportation. He brought his message to a meeting Oct. 21 with representatives from the oil and gas industry in the San Juan Basin. Udall not only met with members of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association and the Bureau of Land Management, he visited with employees of WPX Energy and toured a well site in Lybrook operated by Aztec Well Service. “This is a tremendously important industry to New Mexico,” Udall said. “Most New Mexicans know this industry contributes a lot to the state.” The oil and gas industry employs

Opinion poll Sandel pays for political phone survey on issues facing city DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Telephones rang throughout Farmington the evening of Oct. 22, less than one hour before the start of the Farmington City Council meeting. It was a political poll asking the receiver about various city issues and whether they
would vote for Mayor Tommy Roberts should he decide to run for re-election in March 4, 2014, City Council election. When it was time for the mayor to give his reports to the council, Roberts said a friend received a telephone-recorded opinion poll of which the subject matter was issues with which the city had been confronting in the past few months.
The poll was sponsored by Farmington City Councilor Jason Sandel, who announced one week ago that he would not seek reelection for his Council seat. “I am sponsoring that poll. I am paying for it,” Sandel said responding to by Mayor Tommy Roberts question during the meeting.

Every elementary and middle school in San Juan County received a $1,000 check on Oct. 22 through the General Mills Box Tops for Education program. San Juan County CEO Kim Carpenter and wife, Krickitt, were on hand at Kirtland Elementary School to join in the celebration and award the school principals with money that can be used for anything the schools need. “Little tiny Box Tops – the smallest of things – those little things make a difference in your environment. They make a difference in education,” Kim Carpenter said. “Little things

Box Tops for Education can be found on 2,400 different General Mills products. Parents and students can cut them out, save them and turn them in to the schools for cash. WalMart also is involved in the program, by promoting the Box Tops and setting up Box Tops collection bins throughout

Voss Voss in her position at the Nebraska Humane Society oversees three departments with 17 direct employees that include two supervisors, who oversee 12 employees. Her annual budget is $1.7 million, according to documents provided to the city from Strategic Government Resources. Prior to working for the Humane Society, Voss was a wildlife biologist with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. She was the grant administrator of QuadState Tallgrass Prairie Project. “I am a scientist at heart but have a passion for animal sheltering,” she wrote in a letter of application to the city of Farmington. “I bring an analytical, thoughtful ap-
Animal control changes Council OKs guildelines for spay/neuter, animal control officers The Farmington City Council is moving forward with two changes to the way animal care and control is addressed within the city.
The Council adopted guidelines for the development of a new low-cost spay/neuter policy for the newly constructed animal shelter. This new program will coincide with the hiring of a new staff veterinarian; whose duties would
be performing 20 spays or neuters each day and providing veterinary care for any sick or injured animals that might come into the shelter. Animals in need of emergency care would be taken to a veterinary hos-
pital for medical care. The Council also unanimously agreed to publish proposed changes to an ordinance that will move animal control officers out from under the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and
move them under the supervision of the Farmington Police Department. Both changes were proposed after Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director Cory Styron took his job earlier this year.
proach to problem solving and try to use data and trends to be proactive instead of reactive.” Voss left her position with the game and parks commission when grant funding ran out, and she began working for the Beatrice Humane
Society in October 2005. She left that position in September 2009 to begin work with the Nebraska Humane Society. Voss was ready for another change and wrote that Farmington will be the “challenge” she is seeking.
“I believe this position would provide a challenge and not only make great use of the current skills I possess but push me to stretch myself as a manager and an animal shelter professional,” Voss wrote, adding she was attracted to Farm-
ington’s strive for change. “Not accepting the status quo and having the passion to do better is one of the main reasons I am in the animal sheltering world; there is always a chance to learn, adjust and make things better for the animals.”
Voss has a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, and Master of Science from Northern Illinois University, in DeKalb, Ill. She will be paid an annual salary of $75,000 plus benefits.

Helping children Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club hosts clothes for children event DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The Farmington Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club plans to help more than 500 children this fall through its newly adopted Clothes for Children and Coats for Kids campaigns. The programs had been ongoing for the past six years, but needed a new sponsor, so Rio del Sol decided to take on the challenge of raising enough
funds to clothe 300 San Juan County children and provide new or gently used coats for 500 children in need. “With the Kiwanis motto of ‘Saving a community one child at a time,’ it was a perfect match for us,” said Bob Brooks, chairman of the campaign. “We felt strongly the programs needed to continue.” The club has been busy working to raise money for the clothing campaign,
which provides a child with $100 to shop for new clothes and shoes at Target. Rio del Sol has raised enough money to help 220 children, but the members would love to be able to provide for 300. “We’ve been beating the bushes, doing what we can,” Brooks said. There have been several corporate sponsors, and individual donations also are accepted. Brooks said he contacted each elementary school in
San Juan County and asked for names of children in need. “We have more than 400 names,” he said, adding that if more funds are not raised, he will have to ask the schools to cut some names from the list. “We have so many people who want to help us,” Club member Jill McQueary said, adding the need is great and the club wants to assist all of the children in need. The funds have to be raised before Nov. 6, because
the invitations to children will go out just prior to the event, which will be Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 at the Farmington Target store. When the Clothes for Children campaign ends, the Rio del Sol club will begin its Coats for Kids campaign. There will be coat donation boxes and bins set up at Farmington’s fire stations, Best Buy, Howard’s Cleaners, Permian Power Tong, United Way and ConocoPhillips. “We are asking for new
and gently used coats, and there is a need for small sizes,” Brooks said. The club hopes to gather 500 coats to distribute before the weather turns cold. The collection will continue throughout the month of November. Anyone wishing to contribute to either campaign can mail in a donation to P.O. Box 843, Farmington, NM 87499 or drop off a donation at Howard’s Cleaners.

Udall 68,000 New Mexicans and historically has provided 50 percent of the state’s budget through royalties and taxes. Udall wants to see the oil and gas industry continue to operate and provide jobs and tax base to the state, he said. The industry, however, has been stagnant with oil production down and natural gas exploration on hold. There are many reasons for the decline. Those include the low cost for natural gas, which slowed the market for the product, as well as difficulty placed on the industry by a federal agency that has slowed down the permitting process. The San Juan Basin has
a potential to develop “tens of trillions� of cubic feet of natural gas to be marketed inside and outside of the United States. The reason this hasn’t happened is the price of natural gas, New Mexico Oil and Gas Association President Steve Henke said “There hasn’t been drilling in the San Juan Basin because of decreased natural gas prices,� Henke said. Oil exploration also has slowed here because of regulations that limit companies’ access to public lands, according to Henke, who pointed out the BLM has a hydraulic fracturing rule and limited access to public lands for produc-
tion. “There’s a lot of natural gas that can be developed, but we need the support of the BLM for that to happen,� Henke said. Udall, however, said there has been Congressional legislation to streamline the process for permitting. Congress developed a pilot program to streamline permitting in both the Permian and San Juan Basins. “That pilot of this area was to make sure there is better permitting and better enforcing,� Udall said. The law has expired and the senator is receiving requests to reauthorize it. “I think it’s a good law,� Udall said, adding he would like to see it continued. Udall also joined with 33 U.S. Senators in sending a July 9 letter to the
Energy Secretary Earnest Moniz, asking the Energy Department to speed up the process to allow for the exportation of liquified natural gas, or LNG, to other countries. “The world is hungry for U.S. natural gas, and the geopolitical implications of LNG exports are tremendous. To bolster their own energy and national security profiles, nations around the world are seeking opportunities to diversify their energy supplies,� the senators wrote. “For the first time, the United States is being recognized as one of their options. Responsible development of natural gas can benefit the environment and our international priorities.� The letter asked the Energy Department to consider exporting LNG
to Europe and Japan; both nations are in need of natural gas to “fuel their economies.� The Energy Department has received 20 applications for LNG export projects, but set a timeline of considering one every six to eight weeks, according to the letter. “We want to urge the Energy Department applications and move them along,� Udall said. This could drive up the price of natural gas and encourage increased production. Secretary Moniz responded on Sept. 12 saying the energy department must “conduct a public interest review of LNG export applications to non-Free Trade Agreement countries and to grant the applications unless DOE finds that the proposed exports will not be con-
sistent with the public interest.� The review includes a number of factors including the “impact on domestic natural gas supplies and prices and the full range of macroeconomic impacts of the proposed export,� Moniz wrote. Environmental reviews also must be conducted. While the exportation process is in its infancy, Udall said at least three applications for exports have been approved, and now the U.S. is just awaiting the infrastructure, such as ships and ports of entry and export to be completed. In the meantime, Moniz stated that the Energy Department will continue to review export applications “on a case by case basis as expeditiously as possible.�
by email,� was her response. One question addressed recent flooding throughout the community after
a 200-year storm hit the same area plagued by flooding in the 2010 storm that left residents, businesses and streets damaged. Other issues dealt with the recent electric utility rate increase, characterized by Sandel as a tax, because the city takes money from the fund to supplement the city’s annual budget and then raised the rates on the backs of residents. “The vote to increase the electric rates amounts to a 10 percent tax,� Sandel said. His poll also addressed energy issues, including whether a resident would support coal-fired power purchased from Public Service Company of New Mexico or the construction of a natural gas-fired plant with the gas being supplied from the San Juan Basin. He wanted to know if the community supported a Council decision to “double down on coal or invest in our future of natural gas.� Sandel wanted a “better understanding of what is important to our community,� so he is able to “respond appropriately to major issues,� he said. “As a businessman, as an interested person, as a City Councilor and as a young father in the community, I’m interested as to where our community wants to go. I’m reaching out and asking the community what is the appropriate thing to do.� Roberts addressed the poll in the Council meeting, saying “My feeling
is these kinds of polls are commonplace in this world of politics and I think they are fair. But I do think the people in the community have a right to know who is sponsoring those polls and who is paying for those kinds of polls – and that is the important piece that is missing.� Roberts asked each councilor whether they were involved in the development of the poll, whether they paid for it or assisted in formulating the questions. Councilor Sandel stated that he sponsored the poll. He later posted on his Facebook page, “So, again, I’m spending private money to better understand the beliefs and aspirations of our community as we confront major issues moving forward. I look forward to the opportunities that may present themselves – whatever and whenever they may be.� Councilors Gayla McCulloch and Dan Darnell said they did not know about the poll, nor were they involved in formulating its questions. Sandel added in a telephone interview that he is reaching out to the community in order to represent them to the best of his ability. “I believe that being a City Councilor is about representing the people, whether they voted for me or not,� he said. “My goal is to inspire a movement to encourage the Council and mayor to be representative of our community.�

Rattlesnakes on the border “Rattlesnakes on the Border.” Some of you might think this is another grim tale about the cartels and gunfights in the Mexican Border states. It’s not. Most all of roads coming north to connect with the freeway have a manned border patrol checkpoint. The object is to deter illegal immigrants and drug smuggling. A good deal of the borderland is ranching country. Two young day-work cowboys had been helping gather cows. They put in a good day and were headed home. Devon was drivin’ and twilight was still hangin’ on
animals Styron said the spay/neuter program is meant to increase the liverelease rate at the shelter over a five-year period by altering 1,500 to 2,000 each year in San Juan County. He met with community members and local veterinarians to come up with plan that would work, and the outcome was the recommendation of a staff veterinarian with guidelines that would ensure the veterinary community that the city is not going into the veterinary business. The city would do this by providing low- or nocost spay and neuter services to people who already receive government aid. “If you have an animal you should have some financial obligation to that animal,” Styron said, adding there would be a sliding fee scale for people seeking pet services. The fee would be based on their income. “If you have low or no income we are going to accommodate you.” Veterinarian Margie Alvarez said the guidelines and policy for the shelter veterinarian need more work. The sliding fee scale origi-

as they headed north on AZ Highway 191. His compadré was Duke. They hung out a lot. Each was ridin’ colts for whoever needed it and somehow made the payments… Duke on his rent and Devon on his truck. They were livin’ the cowboy dream, which is to be able to support yourself your entire life without ever having to get a job! They also collected live rattlesnakes for a herpetologist.
He paid $20 live, $5 dead but with the head intact. Although they were a team, Devon was ophidiophobic… skert of snakes! He held the bag. Sure nuf, down 191, there in the headlights they saw a rattler crossing the road. Devon was going purty fast as they whizzed by but Duke said, “Did you see that, Dev, he musta been 15 feet long, probably got 30 to 40 rattles!
nally was going to start at a high income of $80,000 and go down from there. “We were totally opposed to that. It needs to be something more reasonable,” Alvarez said. She asked whether the city would adopt an ordinance that would set the “scope of services” for the staff veterinarian. “An ordinance would be something that would stand its ground, and we want to be assured that what we agreed on will stand,” Alvarez said. City Manager Rob Mayes stated that it was more a gentleman’s agreement, in which the city would set an administrative policy as to what the staff vet would do. Councilor Jason Sandel stated that he thought it needed to be more concrete than a policy. “It is really appropriate to nail that down,” he said. “I think the proof is in the process we did. There is an element of trust here. The only goal staff had was to come up with something that was a part of this process,” Mayes said. Sandel brought up that a letter from veterinarians requested the city put pet licensing into place and base the license fee on whether
the animal is altered. He argued for an ordinance that would give staff authority to move ahead and make things happen. Councilor Dan Darnell, however, made a motion to approve the presented plan of spay/neuter guidelines for the shelter and asked for the development of policy on the staff veterinarian’s scope of work. Councilor Gayla McCulloch seconded the motion. “I was thinking it might be easier if we had a formal policy, so we know for sure what we are voting on,” Councilor Mary Fischer said. “We could review it on a yearly basis so we could see if it’s working. I like things to be written before I vote on them.” Mayor Tommy Roberts called for the vote, with McCulloch and Darnell voting in favor of a policy over an official ordinance. Sandel and Fischer voted against the move, saying that while they both supported a staff veterinarian and a spayneuter program, the “devil was in the details,” Fischer said. Mayor Roberts voted in favor of the policy, which will allow staff to hire a veterinarian and set the an-

I never seen one so big! Less it was the one that got loose in your cab that time. ‘Member? We had to fish him out from behind the seat, dang near got kilt!” Devon kept his eyes on the road and his foot on the gas. Rasslin’ snakes in broad daylight was bad enough, much less trying to do it in the dark. “Man,” whined Duke, “Ol Doc might even pay us more ‘cause it’s so big! Whattya say? Think we better turn around afore we git too far gone…there’s still time. Long as he was it might take him twenty minutes to cross the road! Whatya think? Whatya
think? Whatya think!” “Alright!” Said Devon. He slammed on the brakes, fishtailed, reversed direction and peeled out like a scalded tomcat! He barely noticed the line of fluorescent cones down the middle of the road directing drivers to bear to the right. The three border patrol agents had their quiet evening shattered! You can imagine what they thought…smugglers on their way north suddenly realizing their GPS went dreadfully wrong? Giant prison spotlights glared, 17 Border Patrol vehicles cranked up, threw gravel, red lights flashing, and sirens blaring in
hot pursuit! It took them 2 minutes to have our cowboys pulled over. The big bullhorn was directing them to stay in their vehicle.“Lemme handle this,” said Duke. “Don’t move a muscle,” warned Devon. “Ah, what the heck, they can’t take this seriously,” said Duke as he opened the passenger door and stepped out. “Lissen, officers, I kin explain, see we were huntin’ rattlesnakes and,,,” “Look at your shirt,” said Devon, a-word-at-a-time. Duke did. There were three red dots between the pocket snaps.
nual salary at $70,000 a year plus benefits. There is a projected revenue for services of $80,000, so the budget impact is set at $42,720 to be split between the city and San Juan County. Animal control The Council also discussed decreasing the number of animal control officers/park rangers from 15 to nine and move them under the supervision of the Farmington Police Department. “We believe the animal control aspect out in the field is very different than in-shelter care,” Mayes said. “On the park ranger side, we really think there is a safety issue. Our park rangers are unarmed people patrolling our parks.” Their job description is to patrol the parks, open them in the morning and lock them up at night. They even respond to crimes, such as disorderly conduct or urinating in a park, according to Farmington Police Deputy Chief Vince Mitchell. “They are another set of eyes and another set of ears in our parks. It is very important to have them in our parks,” he said. The police department wants to provide the animal control officers with specialized training and put them on the same dispatch channel as regular police officers. “We feel like they need to be under our span of control. Nationally they are,” Mitchell said. “They share
our report writing system. There are actually felony animal abuse laws now.” Mitchell added that if the animal control officers are under the police department it will be easier for them receive investigative assistance and testify in court. Councilor Fischer wanted to know what would preclude animal control officers from calling the police for backup when in a dangerous situation. “Police officers have wonderful training, are physically fit and carry guns. Animal control officers might not have that triaining. We could be putting them in more jeopardy than a police officer who is trained to deal with volatile situations,” Fischer said. “They are in those positions now. It almost seems they are second class,” Mitchell said. Fischer said she fears them becoming “quasi-community service officers,” and she doesn’t want them in harms’ way. Mayes likened the change to when the city moved code compliance from planning to the police department. “We are not adding any new dimensions. Their authorities are not changing,” he said. Fischer said she has received complaints from constituents about code compliance being a police function. “People like the friendlier, more neighborhood, approach we had for a number of years,” she said, adding
she has a great respect for the city’s animal control officers, and she blames the move on “mismanagement at the shelter.” “I think the basis of this is a personnel matter and that concerns me. We’re doing all of these double backflips to avoid what the real problem is,” Fischer said. Mayes said it was an operation issue and that the officers wear uniforms and badge and work with authority. “We feel it is a much better fit, philosophically.” Councilor Sandel said he would like to know what other communities, such as Farmington, are doing with regards to animal control officers. “What’s Roswell doing? What’s Hobbs doing? What’s Albuquerque doing?” Sandel asked. “I see this as being a profession trained completely separately from the police department.” Sandel asked what their powers would be and to what level they would receive training. “At some point it changes from being an animal control officer and a park ranger to being a police officer,” Sandel said. “Are we carrying guns? Are we not carrying guns?” The Council unanimously decided to move the process forward and seek more clarity on the issue. It will be published and a public hearing on the issue will during the next regular city Council meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 in the City Council chambers at city hall.

Feat of Clay show highlights ceramic artists Feat of Clay Gallery will feature a ceramics show Bottles, Bowls, Baskets, and Boxes from the Oct. 25 through Nov.16. There will be a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday at Feat of Clay Gallery, 107 S. Main St. in Aztec. Nick Blaisdell has a Master’s degree in Ceramics from U.C.L.A., and became a full time potter in 1972 after teaching high school for three years at Dunn Preparatory School in California. Self-employed as a production potter for 43 years, now semiretired, he finds himself creating the pots that he always dreamed of making after college. He and his wife, Sandy, established Dalton Ranch Pottery in 2008. Blaisdell’s work can be found in galleries in Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Michigan, and on his website. www.NickBlaisdell.com John T. Blintz has had a relationship with clay since 1995. From his first contact he felt connected to this medium that was so versatile that it allowed for seemingly endless creative possibilities. Blintz has gained inspiration in regard to purity of form from Asian, Egyptian and Native creations from around the world. The forms became canvases for color relationships, textural melding and exploration of various firing methods. Blintz said clay has been both a relaxing sanctuary and an interpersonal connection that has
who plan to participate in this show inassisted him in his professions. Blintz is a mental health clinician, a program director assisting at-risk students, and, on occasion, an adjunct college pottery instructor. He said it offers a means to discover oneself, and discover how things can be beautiful, distorted, strong and fragile all at once. Cynthia McDowell has been fortunate to live and work in New Mexico for almost 14 years. Artistic inspiration comes easily to her while gardening, horseback riding or fishing, and she usually can’t wait to get back into the studio. Her pottery has “rustic elegance” and is full of good energy. “I make pottery forms that I like to use every day, that function well and have an interesting surface,” she said. McDowell’s passions are in wood firing, pit firing and handcarved slipware pottery. Her home studio includes a Manabigama style wood kiln, pit kiln, many throwing wheels and an electric kiln. She also hosts an annual Earth Fired Pottery & Friends Art Show on her ranch in La Plata. To learn more about Cynthia’s processes, see more work, or shop online, go to www.earthfired.com. Don Ellis is a lifelong potter and educator from Farmington. Presently he is an Associate Professor in the Ceramics program at San Juan College. He taught for many years at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, and at New Mexico State University campus in Alamogordo, N.M. Don holds a Bachelor
of Science degree in Education from McMurry University in Abilene, and a Master’s degree in Ceramics from the University of North Texas in Denton. Along with his teaching career, Don owned and operated Cloudcroft Pottery, a successful retail business for 20 years, with his wife and son in Cloudcroft, N.M. In addition, he also has done numerous workshops throughout the United States and Canada. Ellis creates everything from high-fire, functional stoneware to decorative vessels in copper matt raku, horsehair raku, and saggar-fired raku. Don is one of four artists featured in the recently released book Alternative Kilns & Firing Techniques. He will also be published in another book due out in November 2009, called Mastering Raku. “I find great joy in working with clay. It has evolved into a fascination and a livelihood. A pot is an extension of the person creating it; it becomes a part of him. A pot is an extension of the person creating it; it becomes a piece of him. I work almost extensively in high-fire, functional stoneware pieces,” Ellis said, He said that as both a teacher and a working artist, he has great dedication to his students. “As a teacher, I feel it is necessary to provide the information and impetus to fully motivate the
student and aid him or her in resolving their ideas in clay. I see myself as both a catalyst and a perpetual student in this sense,” Ellis said. Other talented ceramic artists

A tale of two Kodiaks I have spoken in the past about the evolution of the human-animal bond in my career and how it continues to amaze, astonish and, at times, humble me. This week was one of humbleness and sadness, yet gratitude. For those who are not “cat people,” we cat people know how a particular cat will work its way into your life and routines, and before you are even aware of it you have been converted into a cat lover! My cat conversion began in September of 1979 when, as an undergraduate junior at Kansas State, I adopted a 6-week-old, long-haired black cat from a farm. Kodiak (the first) commenced to be my roommate, study buddy, and intuitive companion for the next 17 and a half years. My veterinary school study routine was from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly and Kodiak was a constant figure on my desk. Almost every
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson DVM night at midnight he would decide he and I needed a study break. He would go get a bite of kibble and then jump on my shoulder to a get a healthy nip of skin and I would proceed to play with him for 10 minutes or so. Honestly, I am not sure I could have made it through veterinary school without him. He also was my pillow companion at night. I recall the negotiating between him and my newlywed wife, Margie, over pillow territory. When our children came along, he was that scary, long-haired creature living under our bed that only came out at night to assume his new turf between our two pillows.
I always tell our clients that if a cat lives to be old enough, it will die of kidney failure. Kodiak was diagnosed at 14 years old and we were able to keep him compensated for three and a half more years with Science Diet KD and subcutaneous fluids (last week’s article was about kidney disease). You must realize veterinarians are just like our clients; we go through the same processes of denial, indecision and heartache when it comes time for a quality of life decision. This was a first for me as a veterinarian and my own beloved pet. “That day,” I recall Kodiak had eaten well and I thought maybe he could last a while longer (denial). Margie, on the other hand, cornered me at work and gently told me it was time. It was, and thus I gathered a tranquilizer and solution and went home to do the deed. The emotion and grief for me that day was like an out of body experience, one I have experienced many times with my clients. Yet here I was sobbing and say-
ing goodbye to my deceased best friend “I am sorry, I am sorry.” I proceeded to make a homemade headstone and buried Kodiak by the pond. Fast forward two years and I received a call at the office from Kendra as the kids were dropped off from the elementary school by the bus. “Dad, Dad, we found a black cat at the bus stop and Mom says we can keep him and we can name him Kodiak.” My heart melted, as we had been indoor catless for far too long. It was amazing how this Kodiak (the second) filled a void in my/our life and I can’t explain how he developed the traits and habits reminiscent of his predecessor. Especially that intuitive emotional connection within my soul, which cat people
“get.” So for 14 years our family had the privilege to coexist with another Kodiak. He started as an indoor cat, but after developing the habit of urinating on freshly washed laundry and our daughter’s friend’s overnight bags, he was politely put outside by the head of the household. Even though he was declawed he was the toughest cat in the neighborhood, surviving foxes and raccoons. Eventually he reestablished his indoor privileges, all the while still occupying his nightly spot between our pillows. On a return trip home from taking our son to college, I had this persistent nagging that something wasn’t right with Kodiak – that previously mentioned intuitive connection. Sure enough, the weight loss, increased drinking, and breath odor were evident, indicating kidney failure.
Unfortunately, this Kodiak only lasted a few months, plus I had learned a lesson previously about not hanging on too long for “me” reasons. Thus, this week it was me and Kodiak the Second finishing a great relationship. Of course, he has his own headstone and is buried next to his predecessor by the pond. At 55, I have had a Kodiak in my life for close to 32 years. Wow! As veterinarians we have the honor and privilege of caring for your four-legged family members, and we thank you for that! However, we are pet owners of our own four-legged family members and the love and companionship we share with them keeps us balanced and mindful of our responsibilities to you – and yet humble. For that we are thankful for the Kodiak(s) in our lives. Rest in peace!

Seasonal golfing issues
Compensating for fall/winter turf conditions We are officially in the fall season and the temperatures have reached optimal levels to enjoy what little time we have left on the golf course. With temperatures at or below freezing in the evenings, the trees are changing into beautiful hues of red, yellow, purple and brown. It simply is breathtaking. Unfortunately, the golf course you are currently enjoying is changing as well. Maintenance crews have let grass grow a bit longer so that it can withstand the beating it takes during the winter months without water. That being said, the ground is firming up as the grass enters its final stages before dormancy. Keeping that in mind, the focus should be on golf ball landing areas for all approach
FIRST TEE Tom Yost and short game shots. A lot of players love the fall and winter because they gain a greater percentage of roll on their drives. “I have never hit the golf ball farther on my tee shots,” is often heard throughout the grounds. What players fail to take into consideration is that their approach shots and short game shots (pitches and chips) are going to roll farther once they hit the ground, as well. When the yardage is figured to the center of the green or to the flagstick, players must subtract yardage off of whatever club they would normally hit to com-
THIS WEEK IN SPORTS JP Murrieta Just when you thought the University of New Mexico football team was showing signs of life, they take two steps back. A couple weeks after beating the Aggies, the Lobos got run over by the Aggies. UNM lost to Utah State, 45-10 – and it wasn’t even that close. “Embarrassing” – “slapped in the mouth” – “flat embarrassing” and “humbling” were all phrases used by head coach Bob Davie this week. The loss to Utah State was a reality check for the Lobos and their fans. UNM just isn’t as good as most of their competition in the Mountain West right now. “They were better than us,” said Davie. “But they weren’t THAT much better than us.” I might disagree. UNM is going through some growing pains and some “throwing” pains. The Lobos have to throw the ball more, but they don’t have the skill level to do that effectively just yet. Running the ball is UNM’s bread and butter; that’s what they do well. But the more you run, the more your opponents know you’re going to run, thus making it harder to run. It’s kind of like coaching 101. Defensively, UNM can’t
stop anyone. Their best defense is to keep the offense on the field, run the ball and keep the clock running. When the Lobos are forced to throw, UNM’s heart is in the right place, but they need to rethink their logic. The school announced this week they plan to honor former Lobo Brian Urlacher at a home game next month. Urlacher was UNM’s best PR campaign. Urlacher is more deserving than any other Lobo athlete I’ve seen over the past two decades. At UNM, he did it all – almost literally. By his senior season he not only led the team in tackles, but he caught touchdown passes and returned kicks, too. As a senior, he actually led the team with six touchdown receptions and returned 10 punts with a 15.8 yard average and returned three kickoffs with a 26.3 yard average. Urlacher even received a vote for the Heisman trophy. As a junior, he led the NATION in tackles. He brought UNM some much needed national publicity. Urlacher was a first round pick in the NFL draft and played 13 seasons with the Chicago Bears. He was the face of their franchise and always willing to give props to UNM. The big reason UNM has an indoor

pensate for how hard the turf is. Sometimes a wellstruck iron shot will hit the ground and roll 20 or 30 yards farther than it normally would in the summer. The best players learn to adapt and will take one or two clubs less into greens on their approach shots and will hit “bump and run” style shots when they get closer to the green. Lob shots and pitch shots are almost rendered useless on the hard turf because it doesn’t matter how much backspin you generate when a ball is landing on a surface that is as hard as concrete. Then when you are used District football begins tonight in what should be a close district race. Piedra Vista’s volleyball team takes the lead in the district, but Farmington and Aztec are also ranked in the state’s Top 10, which should make for a very interesting district tournament. As soccer winds down, Farmington and PV look to secure state spots while the girls’ district has been incredible with nearly every game going to one point wins, overtime or the ridiculous shootout. Head out to some great games this week! Last Week… The last week of the non-district football season had Aztec and Farmington on a bye week giv-
Another bad week on the fantasy front for the Geek this week. Injuries again played their toll on a lot of teams and it’s time to look at some early draft picks; it may be time for them to sit down. For example, Larry Fitzgerald, Tom Brady and Maurice Jones-Drew have underperformed their draft status. Fitzgerald has been inconsistent, scoring huge one week then disappearing the next. Brady is currently behind the likes of Geno Smith, and Alex Smith and Jones-Drew has all but disappeared behind Rashard Mendenhall and Jason Snelling. Each week the Fantasy Geek will give you some unsolicited advice on playing
to landing it short and shooting some great scores because of it, you will have to adapt to the ground thawing and becoming soft again in the spring. The lesson here is to adjust constantly or adapt to the situation at hand. It makes no sense to play the same style of golf with harder turf conditions as you would in the summer when the turf is thawed and constantly watered.

Murrieta practice facility is because of Urlacher’s checkbook. “Brian Urlacher has been the most recognizable ambassador for Lobo football for more than a decade because of the level of excellence he has achieved,” UNM head coach Bob Davie said in a released statement. “We owe Brian a tremendous debt of gratitude, and we are excited to honor his accomplishments as a Lobo.” But upon further reading, the press release talking about Urlacher’s retired jersey says “All future Lobos must have
special permission from the UNM head coach to wear No. 44.” What?! I thought they said they were retiring his jersey. If you look up the definition of retire, it reads: re·tire To take out of circulation or withdraw from use or active service. So why is the University of New Mexico creating their own meaning? Their definition might read: “To take a jersey number out of circulation until another stud player wants to wear it and he gets permission from the coaching staff.”

The University of New Mexico is making the right move by retiring Brian Urlacher’s jersey (that is if they retire it). When we asked what qualifications are needed for someone to wear No. 44,
the school told us there are “no concrete guidelines.” The school will not permanently retire numbers anymore. They apparently feel the school would retire too many jerseys and not have enough numbers available for the

Quick Hitters … Congratulations to Piedra Vista High School on winning the NMAA Director’s Cup for the 2012-2013 school year. The Director’s Cup is awarded for the best overall school in their class based on academics, activities and athletics. Previously the Cup has only been won by Albuquerque Academy and Los Alamos. Athletic Director Kelly Thur likened the Cup to the “state championship of state championships.” With an A grade from the state in rating system and state championships in choir, bowling, wrestling and softball to go with state runner-ups in baseball and volleyball, it has been quite a year for principal Ann Gattis and her staff. Open Letter to Aledo High School – Aledo, Texas Congratulations on your 91-0 victory last weekend. Your community should be so proud of its No. 1 ranked football team humiliating its opponent. After all it’s not every day you get to rub in a score on an 0-7 opponent. I am sure, however, that blowout win and your decision
to humiliate a group of young men and their families should go a long way in getting you ready for the postseason. That win should also boost your academic standing as well as your moral standing in your state where “Remember the Alamo” is your creed. At least in the game scenario you got to play Santa Ana running over your treasured landmark. Stay Classy.

Robin Hood BoB Productions presents play downtown DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Bottom of the Barrel Productions is going Medieval this weekend and next with its staged production of Robin Hood. The theater company was asked to come up with a production that would coincide with Farmington’s annual Renaissance Faire, so its members decided on Robin Hood. Alas, though the Renaissance Faire was cancelled, the show must go on. “We searched for scripts that would fit what we were looking for. It had to be family friendly – not melodramatic, but offering an opportunity for audience participation,” the show’s director Joel Irvin said. This performance will give the audience an opportunity to “Boo” actor Tim Bagley’s interpretation of the Sheriff of Nottingham, while also making them want to cheer for Chris Jahrling’s performance of Robin Hood. There are on-stage opportunities for battle and conflict with Bagley being able to “show his evil side,” Irvin said. Robin Hood will at the 3 Rivers Banquet Hall on Oct. 25 and 26.

The Farmington Public Library is looking for “Makers” – people that can demonstrate a project for the Nov. 19 Holiday Maker Fair.

Putting on a play in a non-traditional setting has become a trademark for Bottom of the Barrel Productions, or BoB. The company created its own venue for a show last year and decided the idea also would suit Robin Hood. “We bring in the lights
and sound,” Irvin said. “It works wonderfully. There’s something unique when you create a theater in a place that is not naturally a theater. People like it.” The Civic Center and 3 Rivers were selected because both are in Historic Downtown Farmington.
“Three Rivers begs to be turned into a theater. It will be intimate, but provides enough seating,” Irvin said. Both venues allow BoB to offer free snacks and provide a cash bar. “It becomes more than just theater, it is a night out,” Irvin
said. In addition to the play, there will be live music provided during scene changes and intermission. This includes vocalists, guitarists and flutists. “People will be entertained,” Irvin said. “They will have great night.”
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for those under 18 or over 65. Tickets are for sale at the Civic Center, or by calling 505.599.1148, and in the spirit of Robin Hood, BoB will be holding a food drive and will be accepting non-perishable food items.

Brick houses convey a rich character and sense of history. In addition to its attractive appeal, durability makes brick siding a popular choice. Under normal conditions, brick siding will last the life of the building with little more than an occasional wash with the hose. This beautiful brick
home at 2009 Cuervo St. is a great example of what brick has to offer. Built in a cul-de-sac, the home has a lot of character and extras. With three living areas, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen there is plenty of room for the family and ample room for holiday celebrations.
The home offers a lot of custom windows and brick interior. The inviting entryway features a wood and wood-beam ceiling that adds to the rich and inviting feel of this family home. The kitchen is perfect for family get-togethers with an island, breakfast bar, lots of light and cus-
tom cabinetry. There is also a pantry and easy access to the formal dining room. This residence features three bedrooms and one and three-quarter bathrooms. The home is preinspected and is close to Farmington High School. The master suite has a walk-in closet and a master

Growing amaryllis Add color to your house this winter Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) plants are among the most spectacular of all the flowering bulbs you can grow. They are attractive, easy to grow, and can produce several stems of giant trumpet-shaped flowers in one season! They are available in a wide variety of colors, including white, pink, salmon, red, and yellowgreen! Amaryllis is a spectacular way to add beautiful color to the house during the cold winter months. What You Will Need • Amaryllis Bulb (the larger

the bulb, the more blooming stalks you will get) • A pot slightly larger than the bulb (½ to 2" around the sides of the bulb)
• Well-draining potting mix • Bamboo stake Planting a New Amaryllis Bulb 1. Choose a bulb that’s plump and still has some roots at the base. 2. Make sure the pot you choose is just large enough for the bulb. Generally a 5 to 7" pot will work fine.
The bulb needs to feel crowded to bloom. 3. Partially fill the pot with potting mix and place the bulb so that top third of it will be exposed when you fill in potting soil around the sides of the pot.
School Bus Safety Week
4. Place a bamboo stalk alongside the bulb. The flowers can get top heavy and inserting the stake now will help you avoid damaging the bulb and roots later. 5. Water well. 6. Place the pot in bright, indirect light and keep the soil moist, but not wet. 7. A thick flower stalk should shoot up within a few weeks. The flat leaves will follow as the flower stalk matures. 8. Turn the pot every few days so the flower stalk gets uniform exposure on all sides and grows straight.
9. You can feed your Amaryllis with a half strength water soluble fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks. 10. When the flowers fade, cut the flower stalk back to just above the bulb. Keep watering the plant until it goes dormant in the fall. You can move or plant the Amaryllis outdoors for the summer, in partial shade. 11. In the fall, move your bulb back into the house, in a cool dark area (55-60 degrees) for about 8 to 10 weeks. After this time, pull the bulb back into a bright location, water and start the process all over again.
FMS teaches elementary students emergency preparedness DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The Farmington Municipal School District has a strong focus on safety from classroom to the buses. Students at several elementary schools had an opportunity to learn about bus safety Oct. 22, during a district-wide Bus Safety Drill. Transportation Department Director Billy Huish organized the drills, saying it is important for the children to know about bus safety and be prepared in case of an emergency. Children lined up and learned how to load into the bus. Once inside they sat quietly and learned about emergency equipment and exits on the bus that could assist in case of an emergency situation. Summer Arenas, a 12year veteran of the Farmington Transportation Department, presented safety tips to the children at Ladera Elementary School. “If there’s an emergency going on, on the bus, you want to get out,” Arenas said. She pointed out that each school bus has eight emergency exits – including a service door, four

emergency exit windows, three roof hatches that open and an emergency door in the back of the bus. Arenas also showed the children the types of emergency equipment found on each Farmington School bus. These include a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a two-way radio and a panic button that opens the radio lines and GPS system so authorities can monitor any potential threat on board the bus. After the children learned about the bus, they had an opportunity
to push open the back door and quickly exit the vehicle. “Sit and slide,” Arenas said as she helped each first-grade student safely exit the bus. In her job it is all about getting children from point A to point B in a safe manner. Arenas drives thousands of miles each week transporting children in the morning, midday and afternoon as she drives to and from Farmington Special Pre-school, Tibbetts Middle School, Ladera and Rocinante high schools. “I love it. It’s the best job,” she said.
Box Tops the local stores. General Mills returns $1 for every case of an item that is sold, and the local WalMarts are averaging about $500 a month in Box Tops proceeds, according to Harry “Happy Harry” Burns, of Wal-Mart. “If I could get everyone in San Juan County to put one more dollar in than you are now, we would have $139,000” coming into the school system from General Mills, Burns said. This year, his goal was to raise $10,000. When he met that goal, Burns asked the Wal-Mart Corporation to match the funds. The corporation decided to kick in $20,000, so that each school could receive $1,000, Burns said. “Wal-Mart has been very generous,” Cammack said, of the company’s matching donation. Burns also gave the students kudos for encouraging their parents to cut out and turn in the Box Tops. “I am very proud of
all of you. Don’t stop bringing in Box Tops.” Krickitt Carpenter pointed out that the donation was a way for Wal-Mart and General Mills to give back to the community – something she said is important. “It’s always good to give back to your school and community, even in little ways,” Krickitt said, encouraging the children at Kirtland Elementary School to make good choices. “You want to be a person of your word and do what you say you are going to do. You can make an impact on your world, and you started with Box Tops.” Kim carried on that message telling the children to “Remember to do the right thing.” He and Krickitt chose to adopt the Box Tops program, because it was the right thing to do. “Box Tops are a great thing, because everybody wins,” he said.

Investment in the future
College breaks ground on new School of Energy LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Local elected officials, state legislators, oil and gas business leaders, and San Juan College staff gathered on the college’s campus for an Oct. 17 groundbreaking ceremony for the School of Energy’s new facility. The new facility, which will be 53,000 square feet, will be located on the north side of the college’s campus near the corner of Piñon Hills Boulevard and College Boulevard. At the groundbreaking ceremony, project donors were handed golden shovels and asked to turn the first pile of dirt. These donors, which include BP America, Merrion Oil & Gas, the state of New Mexico, San Juan College, the Westmeath Foundation, the Tom Dugan family, ConocoPhillips, Arizona Public Service, XTO, DJ Simmons/Twin Stars, and Williams, donated $15 million towards the new School of Energy facility. “Your investments will enable our professors and staff to serve more students and it will also provide more opportunity for workforce training and expanded economic development,” San Juan College President Dr. Toni Hopper

Pendergrass said during a reception following the groundbreaking ceremony. “Yes, the investments are a building, but let me talk to you about the people who work inside the building,” said Randy Pacheco, School of Energy dean. “We believe every day we are doing God’s work and we think we are changing lives. We believe when a person comes to us and needs help we are there to help them.” Currently, the School of Energy has three sites – 800 S. Hutton
Road, on 30th Street, and in the Quality Center for Business. This new facility will bring staff and students together at one location and provide additional classroom space, office space, meeting rooms and a hands-on simulation lab. The additional space also will allow the School of Energy to partner with other colleges and universities to offer advanced degrees. Recently San Juan College partnered with New Mexico Highlands University to offer a bachelor’s degree in Oil and Gas Man-
agement. The company that will construct the new School of Energy facility is Jaynes Corporation, after the San Juan College Board approved a notice of intent to hire the Farmington-based company during an Oct. 8 meeting. Jaynes Corporation will collaborate with Dekker/Perich/Sabatini, an Albuquerque architecture firm, to construct the facility. “With this groundbreaking, we reaffirm the college’s commitment to provide the best training and education possible,” said Dr. Joseph Pope, San Juan College Board chairman. Throughout the year, the San Juan College Foundation has been instrumental in raising funds for the School of Energy project. On Aug. 15, 2012, a reception was held at the college’s Henderson Fine Arts Center to recognize BP America’s significant donation of $4 million to the project. “In just one year we came full circle back to this very room with an achievement only this community and this college could have accomplished,” said Gayle Dean, executive director of the San Juan College Foundation. Not only does the School of Energy provide quality curriculum
for students, it also operates a training program for oil and gas businesses. “For many years, BP has sent employees to the college for the jump start immersion program, and also sending School of Energy instructors to our fields. It is important because programs here provide quality training to potential recruits,” said Alita Reynolds, BP Vice President of Operations. “Projects like this don’t come around every day. We think this is money well spent and we are excited to see this project move forward,” said Steve Dunn, Merrion Oil & Gas operations manager. Along with contributions from oil and gas companies, the state of New Mexico also helped move this project forward. “Every year, the San Juan County caucus comes together and we try to determine the most critical needs here in San Juan County,” State Representative Tom Taylor said. “It is really great for them to send money back to the place where it originated and it went back to the School of Energy, which will return dividends to every dollar sent up here.” The estimated completion date of the School of Energy is the summer of 2015.
Exports key to growth
Gessing speaks at Desk and Derrick Club banquet DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune There is great economic opportunity for the San Juan Basin, if natural gas becomes a key export from this country, and the federal government opens up public lands for production. This was the message from Paul Gessing, executive director of the Rio Grande Foundation, during the Oct. 17 Desk and Derrick Club banquet at the San Juan Country Club. Gessing has been pushing for the U.S. to start exporting natural gas to countries such as Japan, India and Europe. “Japan really wants our natural gas,” Gessing said. “We could be a major producer and exporter of natural gas.” There is a global “opportunity” for natural gas exportation, and as far as oil production goes the U.S. is topping the global market, with an opportunity to overtake Russia as the world’s leading oil producer. “No one thought that would happen,” Gessing said. “We are on an upward trend heading north in terms of production.” This could help in Gessing’s quest to make New Mexico into an “economically free He focused on ways to do that during his presentation. It includes seeking support from the public for a campaign to encourage the federal government to return

control of the public lands to the western states for a local management. “Wouldn’t it be great if the state of New Mexico controlled Carlsbad Caverns,” Gessing said. Instead there are “nameless, faceless bureaucrats” who make it difficult for states to access public lands and the minerals found below the land. “The federal government is moving all too slowly on oil and natural gas developments, with declines of 33 percent for natural gas production,” Gessing said. “With all of the energy out there, the states that have private land holdings are doing well.” North Dakota is having a boom at this time, much like Pennsylvania. Of the nation’s coal reserves, 30 percent are found in states west of the Mississippi and 20 percent of the nation’s oil and gas reserves are in those same states – one of which is New Mexico.
The problem is the bureaucracy in Washington does not allow these reserves to be developed without a lot of red tape and expenses through the permitting process, according to Gessing. With 41 percent of New Mexico’s land being federally owned, oil and gas companies have to wade through lengthy and costly permitting processes to access the reserves. Gessing argues that if the states were allowed to manage the land, “incredible wealth could be generated.” “New Mexico would be transformed, if it controlled its own resources,” Gessing said, adding that 68,000 jobs could be added to the state, along with $8 billion to the economy. Without the ability to access those natural resources, New Mexico has an estimated two-tenths of a percentage point for economic growth. Gessing pointed out that he is not suggesting the federal government open up
Longtime oilman Tom Dugan was honored Oct. 17 with a Distinguished Service Award from the San Juan chapter of the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs. The honor was given during the local club’s annual banquet at the Tom Dugan San Juan Country Club. “The award is given to it until she read his bisomeone in the energy ography. Dugan actually and allied industries, who was born in an oilfield provides an extensive lease house in 1925 in benefit to the industry,” Kansas. He grew up said Philana Thompson, wanting to be in the oil a member of Desk and and gas industry, but before entering the business, Derrick. Thompson said she he served his country in knew Tom Dugan was the U.S. Military. Dugan was awarded deserving of the award, both a Purple Heart and but she didn’t know just how much he deserved Bronze Star for his service. When he got out of the forest or national parks for the purpose of oil and gas production. He, however, did say the he believes the land is not being “managed effectively for the economic benefit of our nation.” National forests are burning down each year from fires that burn uncontrollably, because the land is not appropriately managed. There also are questions about the way the national parks are being managed – specifically
after the recent government shutdown. “It’s embarrassing for a First World country not to be able to open its major tourist attractions,” Gessing said. The Rio Grande Foundation is supporting a version of House Bill 292, which was introduced during the 2013 Legislative Session in Santa Fe. It is the Transfer of Public Lands Act, which encourages the federal gov-
the military, he began working in the oil and gas industry and built a successful company in Dugan Production, which was named one of the Top 100 corporations in the state of New Mexico. Dugan wrote a book about the history of the oil and gas industry in the San Juan Basin, and he remains active in the community at the young age of 85. “He also has been an ardent supporter of the Desk and Derrick Club,” Thompson said. When Dugan accepted his award, he said the club has always been of interest to him. “I’m proud to be honored. Thank you very much,” he added. ernment to give New Mexico back its land. This push is being made in other western states, with Utah leading the way, Gessing said. This is based on a movement in 1828, when Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida persuaded the federal government to return the lands to the states. It worked then. It is Gessing’s hope it works again in the not too distant future.

10/18,
Nellie color her hair is, what makeup she is or isn’t wearing, or if the five long hairs on the first of her three chins is braided, swirled or teased. NN enjoys the “selfies,” but continues to be amazed at how many times people will post a “new selfie,” which is usually just the same “selfie,” just posed one ’nother way. Whatever. NN has also learned a lot about a gazillion new ways to lose weight and how many of her FB friends enjoy “working out.” NN has tried just about every weight loss product available (although her latest one is a “shake” that’s s’posed to be mixed with milk or milk substitute, but NN has discovered if you mix that powder with a little amaretto and coffee, it tastes a whole lot better. Those “shakes” go down pretty easy and while NN is pretty certain you’re not s’posed to drink four of ’em at a time, when they’re mixed with “protein” powder, a little coffee and a little more amaretto, you need more than one. Just sayin’. . . .), but is always happy to hear how many of her FB friends have lost half of their original size and love to post new “selfies” every day, so we can appreciate it. Very happy. For reals. As for her FB friends who post things like “worked up a little sweat while running 55 miles in 15 minutes this morning and plan on lifting 500 pounds of weights as soon as I take a “selfie” of me in my running shorts drinking my protein shake,” NN is happy for them, too. NN loves it that her FB friends are in shape and have 15 minutes to run 55 miles and aren’t afraid to post “selfies” of themselves in running shorts. Just reading about someone running 55 miles in 15 minutes is enough to give NN heart palpitations, which means she must call 911 and ask for the paramedics at Station One to come to her casita to give CPR. NN believes in exercise and taking care of oneself, but is, herownself, allergic to sweat and running and lifting weights and “working out.” “Working out” is one ’nother thing NN and the PC don’t share, but she has heard that aliens from Roswell have embraced “working out” as a lifestyle, so it does kinda give NN cause for pause, since she did visit Roswell shortly before discovering she was “with child.” Whatever. NN is also thrilled when her FB friends share their new love interests – at least the first 35 times. By the 36th posting of the new love and sweet nothings, NN is getting a little perturbed (and, honestly, prob’ly a little jealous. Just sayin’ . . . .). But truly, lovebirds, NN wants you to be happy, wishes you happiness and hopes the bluebird of happiness always flies high enough over

Nellie your heads to drop more happiness but never, ever anything else that could increase my friend’s investment in toilet tissue. And your sweet postings to each other are endearing and lovely. For reals. Honest. At least the first 35 times. . . . Then there are the political postings. LOTS of political postings. NN, herownself, loves pol-
itics and some politicians. NN has her own beliefs and is always interested in the political beliefs of her FB friends. Well, mostly always. Maybe not always always. And sometimes, some of NN’s FB friends get a tad carried away and those postings make it necessary for NN to mix a little less protein powder with a little more of the coffee and a lot more of the amaretto for her “diet” drink. NN embraces free

speech and free postings on FB and learns a lot from them, too. For reals. Except for the ones that are posted and re-posted seventeen gazillion times by the same three FB friends. Then, whatever issue/party those postings oppose become issues/party NN embraces. Just because. So there. NN also kinda sorta, but not really, appreciates/enjoys the postings of FB friends (Jodi Stamper, are you listening?!) reminding her how many days are left until Christmas. NN, herownself, likes to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving before she starts singing Christmas carols with the Breakfast Flakes and Alvin and the Chipmunks. NN loves Christmas and usta actually decorate until the Devil Kitten decided to eat the garland and the fake tree, giving him intestinal problems NN refuses to post on FB, even though they are, for reals, way more dramatic and “colorful” that those of NN’s FB friends. Just sayin’. . . . So, love you JS, but NN doesn’t want to know how few days she has left to do her Christmas shopping until the day before Thanksgiving. . . .(unless you’re wanting NN’s Christmas wish list, in case you just post whenever you want, Girlfriend!) There are things about FB NN loves, though. The pictures of kids and grandkids and kids having fun, the photos of pets (but not so much the photos of animals that need homes, on accounta NN can only be a mother to Oliver and the Devil Kitten, but wants to adopt all of those sweet animals that need homes that all of NN’s FB friends post), and the words of encouragement and the sharing of joy. NN loves the photos of weddings and anniversaries and birthday parties and, most of all, NN LOVES every posting about Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. NN still hasn’t gotten her birthday gift from PM, but is sure it’s gonna come any day. For reals. PM would never forget NN’s birthday. Just sayin’. . . . Speakin’ of birthdays, there were lots of ’em this week. Sue Carter, Nichole Tafoya, Terry McCoy, Teia Camacho, Brandi

Wethington, Paul James, Michelle Beck, Ty Constant (Shelly Constant is Ty’s mom and she’s a FB BFF), and Rachel Brown ( Shaleen Brown is Rachel’s mom and is the best). Also celebrating this week were Anna and George Riley, who have enjoyed 35 years of wedded bliss. Anna and George are two of the nicest, most wonderful people on the planet (NN is certain they did not come from Roswell aliens) and are a perfect example of how marriage can work, if both partners work at it! Valley Veterinary Clinic celebrated 28 years in business this week and, sadly, Zia Sporting Goods announced it is closing. We share in VVC’s celebration and we are saddened by ZSG’s closure. Both businesses have been wonderful supporters of our community and we appreciate them. The San Juan College School of Energy celebrated the groundbreaking for the SoE’s new 50,000-plus facility to be built just north of the Quality Center for Business on the SJC campus. Those breaking ground included representatives from investors in the project – Aleida Rios from BP, Steve Dunn from Merrion Oil & Gas, Dr. Joseph Pope of San Juan College, Tom Taylor for the state of New Mexico, Virgil Chavez of ConocoPhillips, Tom Dugan of Dugan Production Corp., John Byrom of DJ Simmons, Arvin Trujillo of APS Foundation, and Don Wicburg of Williams. Other investors who were not present at the groundbreaking were the Westmeath Foundation and XTO Energy. Other notables at the breaking of ground and the reception that followed included, San Juan College President Dr. Toni Hopper Pendergrass and her husband, Dr. Doug Pendergrass; Randy Pacheco, Dean of the School of Energy and the always wonderful and beautiful Becky Durham; Gayle Dean, executive director of the San Juan College Foundation and her husband, Judge John Dean (who brought his beautiful mother, Maxine); John Thompson, Evelyn Benny, Ken Hare, Shane Chance and Matthew Tso of the San Juan College Board of Trustees; Bev Taylor, Danny Beyhan.

There were lots of ’nother very important people at the event, but when NN took a college golf cart for a “joy ride,” security invited her to leave the grounds. Whatever. The golf cart didn’t go very fast anyway. Just sayin’. . . .

at the movies THE COUNSELOR
CARRIE
Rating: R Synopsis: Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) have joined forces in the motion picture thriller THE COUNSELOR, starring Michael Fassbender, PenĂŠlope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Brad Pitt. McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave the author's characteristic wit and dark humor with a nightmarish scenario, in which a respected lawyer's one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal spirals out of control.
Rating: R Synopsis: A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. Based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King, Carrie is directed by Kimberly Peirce with a screenplay by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRAMPA Rating: R Synopsis: 86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companion, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa." This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass's multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through Greengrass's distinctive lens - simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award (R) winner Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi).
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.
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.
MACHETE KILLS Rating: R Synopsis: In MACHETE KILLS, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
GROWN UPS 2 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.
FIFTH ESTATE Rating: R Synopsis: Triggering our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news leaks and the trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed the game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real events, "The Fifth Estate" reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century's most fiercely debated organization. The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel BrĂźhl) team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful.
CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 Rating: PG Synopsis: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation's hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood's genius is finally being recognized as he's invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester's right-hand-gal - and one of his greatest inventions - is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick).
INSIDIOUS 2 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: The famed horror team of director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye and Ty Simpkins in INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2, a terrifying sequel to the acclaimed horror film, which follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
GRAVITY Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: GRAVITY, directed by Oscar (R) nominee Alfonso Cuaron, stars Oscar (R) winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone. Movie information and ratings are from Rotten Tomatoes. Ratings are based on 0 - 100%; each star represents a 20% rating.
