The last airport master plan for the city of Farmington was drafted in the 1990s, but the city of Farmington has a new plan that should be finalized and sent to the FAA for approval. The Farmington City Council approved the new airport master plan during its Nov. 12 meeting. It identifies improvements that could be made at the Four Corners Regional Airport to improve service and attract more business travelers to the facility. The plan was developed by Wendy Renier, a senior airport planner with

The Farmington City Council had a public hearing Nov. 12 to hear from
staff and the public about this proposed change to the city operations. Animal control has been dispatched out of the Animal Shelter for the past 30 years, with the proposed change coming about after the construction of a new regional shelter.

A woman, who worked tirelessly to make sure area veterans received recognition, died in Farmington on Veterans’ Day. Joyce Donald, 85, did so much more for this community than work on the city’s Veterans’ Park and bring the Healing Field of Flags to the community in honor of our servicemen and women. Donald essentially was the mother of Farmington. Donald and her late husband Harry moved to Farmington in 1976. Her brother lived in New Mexico. He would send the Donald family cards to their home in Cleveland, Ohio, asking them when they were * Donald A7

going to move to God’s country. Joyce planned to move here, join the country club and play golf, but she had too much energy and determination to live a life of leisure. She went to work as the first female employee at the Better Business Bureau in Albuquerque, where she worked for nine years before moving to Farmington. Then she took over the directorship of the Four Corners Better Business Bureau, selling 656 memberships in her first year. She used her position in with the BBB to cement herself in the middle of the community, where she began tirelessly working to improve the city and provide opportunities to its residents.

airport consultants WH Pacific. “The airport is in good shape right now to serve what you’ve got,” she said. She identified projects, which are needed to increase service at the facility. Those projects, with a price tag of $3.5 million, include pavement maintenance, thermoplastic surface painted holding position signs, and the construction of eight new T-hangars. Should the FAA approve the plan, the city could received $3.2 million to complete the projects, while the state of New Mexico would kick in $136,000 and the city would have to pay $144,000. One reason the regional airport has not been able to attract larger aircraft is the length of the runway. An extension would cost nearly $75 million, so Mayor Tommy Roberts asked what could done to receive federal funds for a runway extension project. “How do we generate that demand? It seems we would want to extend the runway first to create that demand.” Renier said the jets have
to come first, then the city can show a “need” for the runway, which has a hefty price tag. “We need to focus on near terms and not the distant future. The demand is not there for longer runways based on the (airport’s) operations today,” she said. Renier made her presentation after Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell presented a report on the Four Corners Regional Airport. He discussed challenges the airport is facing, but also pointed out that the airport’s future looks promising. City staff intends to attract another airline to the Four Corners Regional Airport, reported Campbell, who said former manager Todd Gressick met with such carriers as Delta, Atlantic Aviation and United about setting up routes through Farmington. Delta seemed promising with a desire to add a Salt Lake City destination. Great Lakes Airlines is the only one operating out of Farmington at this time, making four trips a day to Denver, Colo.
Campbell said it would be difficult to attract another commercial airline because regional airports must support three round trips per day made by 75seat passenger planes that each have an 85 percent occupancy rate, according to what United Airlines officials reportedly said during a meeting with Four Corners Economic Development and the DurangoLa Plata Airport. The Great Lakes aircraft model that flies into Farmington is a Beechcraft that seats 19 people, according to Campbell. Although it may be challenging to draw in other commercial airlines, attracting corporate planes to the Four Corners Regional Airport could grow. “We think that is a potential market that our airport could take advantage of,” Campbell explained. “Our airport could handle (corporate planes) in the current conditions.” There are an estimated 100 corporate flights that fly into the Four Corners Regional Airport every
animal control from newly hired Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director Cory Styron, who believed animal control fit better under the supervision of police. Betty Berry, Animal Advisory Board member, said she believed that animal control officers would be protected if supervised by the police department. “I think what is important is we are asking our animal control officers to go into situations that they are not adequately trained to take care of,” Berry explained. “I think they would receive excellent training.” The plan was to train these officers in a paramilitary-type style, Styron said in an earlier meeting. The police would handle that training, paid for by the police department, Deputy Chief Vince Mitchell said. “I think training these animal control officers is going to be for their safety,” said Leslie Jedrey, a member of the Animal Advisory Board. This change would be “a new life for us.”
Councilor Mary Fischer asked what training the animal control officers would be required to complete. Mitchell responded that the officers would engage in officer safety training, such as learning how to respond to calls. “Those things seem so simple, but there is a method to our madness,” he said, adding that animal control officers also should wear ballistic vests. “I would like to ask that we go ahead and be moved over for safety training,” Animal Control Officer Jose Gonzalez said. Along with the safety training, animal control officers also would be dispatched more quickly because they would be dispatched through central dispatch, just as other law enforcement officers are. “The response and communication available through the police department is a lot more oriented to individual safety, especially responding to an event where there may be some high ten-
sions,” said John Roe, an Animal Advisory Board member. “It could mean a situation that is tenuous could go into a bad situation if it wasn’t handled rather quickly,” Berry added. If animal control officers are supervised by the police department, their safety would not only be enhanced, but they also would take pride in their job, Jedrey said. “The citizens of San Juan County probably would have more respect for these men and women because they are not the dog catchers,” Jedrey said. “Let’s not wait and do something later. Let ’s move these rangers into the 21st century and I think they will be protected and the police department will stand behind them.” The council voted unanimously to move forward with the process, which includes formally adopting an ordinance that changes the officers’ duties. This vote is scheduled for the council’s Dec. 10 meeting at city hall.
month, according to Campbell. “That is a bright light.” Another challenge the airport faces is the unreliability of Great Lakes flights, Mayor Roberts pointed out. “I believe we are fortunate to have services from Great Lakes. But, reliability continues to be an issue,” he said. “I think the people would feel comfortable knowing when they book a flight, they would leave on time. It would be a great benefit not only to the people of San Juan County, but to Great Lakes.” Campbell said city staff surveyed the airport’s activities and within the past 17 months, 65 percent of Great Lakes flights were on time, 13 percent of the flights were delayed greater than one hour, and 5 percent of the flights were cancelled. Regardless of these numbers, though, Roberts said Great Lakes has continued
to see reductions of cancellations and delayed departures. Campbell reported that Great Lakes is committed to the Denver hub, and will continue services in Farmington potentially by adding an additional flight. “Adding an aircraft would benefit their service,” Campbell said. Great Lakes also intends to remain in Farmington, because this airport provides maintenance services to the aircraft. Campbell said this could be an advantage the city might use to set up a pilot training school or aircraft maintenance training program through a partnership with Great Lakes. One other future priority at the regional airport is improving the building’s appearance because it does not represent the city of Farmington’s quality of buildings, Campbell ex-
plained. “It is a poor representation and we need to work on something to improve that building.” Improving the building’s aesthetics is one project that was included in the Airport Master Plan. Campbell said the airport will continue operating as usual, despite the loss of its airport manager – a position the city does not intend to fill at this time. “Let’s take the opportunity to slow down and look at our airport and its operations and get a profile of what kind of (airport) manager we want and need,” Campbell said. “We may want someone who has more of a business approach to operating the airport.” The city council voted unanimously to approve the airport master plan. The plan must now be submitted to the FAA for review and approval.

Space discoveries call for prudence on Earth The possibility of life on other planets might encourage us to think rationally and prudently about our lives on this humble globe that we call Earth. The subject of extraterrestrial life came up last week with the publication of research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Geoff Marcy, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley, and his co-authors spent four years using the Kepler telescope to examine 42,000 sunlike stars in the Milky Way. They discovered that about 22 percent of them have planets that appear similar in size to Earth and, more important, that orbit within the so-called Goldilocks Zone – at a distance from their stars that would permit water, if there is any, to exist in a liquid
state. As we understand life, liquid water is a prerequisite for its origin. Extrapolating from their data, these astronomers calculate that among the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy, some 8.8 billion planets orbit in a zone and under conditions similar to those on Earth. And our Milky Way is only one of perhaps 200 billion galaxies in the universe. In these terms, life beyond our Earth seems not only possible, but almost inevitable. This is an enticing prospect. Humans have long been intrigued by the possibility that our Earth isn’t the only place in the universe where life exists. This fascination has expressed itself in countless books and movies, as well as in a persistent passion for UFOs
JOHN CRISP SCRIPPS HOWARD and supposed visitations by extraterrestrials. Our hope that any intelligent life we find elsewhere in the universe will be friendly probably outweighs our fear that extraterrestrial beings will be as malevolent and scary as those depicted in books and movies such as War of the Worlds. In fact, rather than our finding extraterrestrial beings, perhaps they will find us, because they’re more advanced than we are; indeed, maybe they can help us resolve some of our current Earthly dilemmas. But even if we’re unique in the universe, we might take some pleasure in dis-
covering that in our (comparative) neighborhood, almost 9 billion other planets could feature conditions similar to those on Earth. These may be places that we’ll want to go someday. Here’s the problem: Our Earth-bound civilization seems to be pushing up hard against all sorts of limits. Some believe Earth has already exceeded its population carrying capacity, while others disagree. But no one can reasonably argue that the planet’s resources are unlimited. Despite meager gestures toward conservation and renewable energy, our rate of consumption continues to
increase, and few real efforts are being made to bring consumption into balance with Earth’s productivity and limited resources. Although the perils of this imbalance are obvious – pollution, climate change, starvation, war – we’re reluctant to acknowledge them. But even those who argue that we’re not at a point of crisis can’t deny that we’re doing very little to prevent the inevitable bad effects of too many people desperate for too few resources. The complacent assumption is that technology will rescue us, but I suspect that if there is any answer, it will be philosophical rather than technological. The story of America is consistent with the story of civilization: When local resources are exhausted, we move to new territory
and take it away from the natives – by force, if necessary. When we reach territorial boundaries, we push technological limits. Philosophy might help us get over this. But we shouldn’t let the discovery of billions of Goldilocks planets distract us from the fact that we evolved to live on this one. Our problems will be solved here – or not at all. In the event of an extraordinarily unlikely extraterrestrial intervention, I stand corrected. But if we don’t live in the only isolated spot in the vast reaches of the universe where intelligent life can exist, still, we’d be prudent to act as if we did. John M. Crisp teaches in the English Department at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. Email jcrisp@delmar.edu
If I could save time in a bottle I remember when my children were very young, and we lived in Virginia, I came to see my family’s life as being on a familiar loop: Putting up the Christmas lights, followed by hunting for Easter baskets and celebrating a raft of spring birthdays, then summers at the pool and, before long, the hunt for the perfect Halloween costumes. A great loop – but a fast and familiar one, nonetheless. I commented to friends then that my loop seemed to be gaining speed, and I supposed it would do so until it stopped for good. In a surprise to me, the loop changed venues after an unexpected divorce. In the suburbs of Chicago, a similar loop developed in my new life as a single mom
BETSY HART SCRIPPS HOWARD with school-aged kids. Faster and faster it went, until I waved goodbye to that home, too – after nine years that felt like two. And now I’m with a new husband in yet another home, and beginning to watch my children go off to college and wondering how quickly this loop will get into high speed. But will it? I’ve come to hope that this time around, so to speak, I may be able to slow things down a little. I’d always thought it seemed that time speeded up as we got older because, relative to our life span, it
does. A year to a 2-year-old is half a lifetime; to an 80year-old, it’s a small fraction of a lifetime, leaving us powerless to stop the speed-up. But in discussing this recently with a dear friend from high school – has it actually been more than 30 years? – while I lamented the inexorability of the increasing rush of time, she explained that I had it all wrong. (If only I would slow down and consider the matter!) What we talked about that evening led me to find out more, and this is what I discovered: A wide range of
research suggests that while the relative-time argument has merit for why time feels like it goes faster as we get older, there’s something else that may account much more for the phenomenon. It turns out that our brains have to work hard at taking in new information, and the effort needed to process the novel information exaggerates our sense of time involved. In contrast, when things are familiar, the brain can shortcut right through it with sort of a “been here, done that, let’s move on” mentality that makes time seem to go faster. No wonder taking a math test can seem like an eternity, but dinner with close friends in the same amount of time goes by in a moment. Time really does fly when we’re having fun.
So then it should be no surprise that familiar life loops and routines, more and more the typical pattern of life as we get older and more established, give our brains endless shortcuts. But a child or other young person taking in new information at every turn, having a constantly busy brain – well, that makes time seem much slower. As writers Belle Beth Cooper and Caroline Gregoire outlined it for one piece I looked at, this one in The Healer’s Journal, from this summer, research shows that “... if we feed our brains more new information, the extra processing time required will make us feel like time is moving more slowly.” They and other writers and researchers on the sub-
ject said new experiences, learning new things, simply working to notice the same or novel things more (pile on the details and information), minimizing routine and brain shortcuts – are all ways to change the perception of time passing quickly. In other words, with a little practice, maybe we can slow time down to a steady jog, or occasionally even a walk. Well, I’m glad to have this information as I start my new loop. Timing is everything.

Donald “She believed in and modeled the ethic of servant leadership,” said Chris Hunter, the regional manager for WESST. Joyce was one of the first people he met when his family moved to Farmington in 1999. “It was Joyce Donald among a few select others, who took me under her wing and encouraged me to build my own business. … Joyce believed in me and in our business community.” Hunter said everyone could use an “encourager like Joyce, and when one as special as Joyce passes, we’d be kidding ourselves to deny the hole left in our hearts.” She was a once-in-a-lifetime friend to almost everyone she met, said Dorothy Nobis. “She shared her energy, her love, her commitment to her community, her patriotism, her wisdom, her
faith, and so much more, to those she cared about, and Joyce cared about everybody,” Nobis said. “Her circle of friends is unending and our community and our world are so much better because of her.” Joyce just wanted to help people to better themselves, so they could better their community. She did this by co-founding Leadership San Juan with the help of Marge Black, Jim Henderson, Nancy Shepherd and Tucker Bayless. The purpose was to help people better themselves and realize their potential. Through the organization, participants learn about their community, as well as how to network with others. At the same time Joyce was working to develop Leadership San Juan, she approached the state’s governor and asked for funds
to start a woman’s conference. She received $500 and started the Four Corners Women’s Conference. The money was used to bring in speakers that could help women develop themselves in business and leadership. It became an annual event, where women could network and learn about ways to better themselves on every level. The conference was so popular that men wanted to attend as well. Donald transformed it into the Four Corners Conference for Professional Development. “Joyce was the true definition of dynamite comes in small packages. There was nothing she did not set out to do that she did not enjoy success,” Nobis said. “There was no one who ever told Joyce ‘no,’ and there are few who have made such a profound im-
pact on our community.” She was recognized throughout the years for the contributions she made to Farmington. She was named the Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year and the Four Corners Conference Woman of the Year. She was not only the first woman in New Mexico to join the Rotary Club, she achieved the Paul Harris Award. Joyce also was inducted into the Farmington Chamber of Commerce’s Historymakers Hall of Fame. On a personal side, Joyce helped a lot of people find what they were searching for in their lives, and she encouraged them toward fulfilling their dreams whatever their dreams might be. Debby Gent got to know Joyce while Gent was growing up. “She was very special to me,” Gent said. “She

gave more in a week than most people would give in a lifetime. She had a heart for helping people. She wanted to help anybody and everybody she could.” When Roger Sheak first met Joyce, she gave him advice and opened doors for him in his business, Nightlight Electric. Sheak was friends with Harry and then met Joyce. He developed a lasting friendship with both of them, and when Harry died Roger became an advocate for Joyce. He would help her with the things a husband or son would do. She would call him when a mouse got into her house and she wanted it gone. She would
count on Sheak to take her shopping and to events she wanted to attend in the community. “We had a lot of good times, and shared a lot of meals and discussions,” Sheak said. “One of her favorite quotes was, ‘Sometimes it’s 60 percent me and 40 percent you, and sometimes it’s 40 percent me and 60 percent you.’” Most people would say Joyce’s life was about giving 100 percent all of the time. She will be remembered during a service at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 18, at the Farmington Civic Center, 200 W. Arrington St. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., also at the Civic Center.
energy Each region is expected to set different objectives and priorities, according to Fine. The Four Corners region will focus mainly on oil and gas. In the Hobbs area the focus will be on oil and gas and nuclear. Santa Fe will focus on renewable and efficiency, while Albuquerque will be about innovation. Las Cruces will focus on biomass, wind, algae and solar. Once the objectives are established, Fine said the state can look at ways to work with industry to create more jobs, including a component that would focus on industries outside of energy, but focused on the byproduct of energy development. This would include feed stock, petrochemicals and fertilizers. “Dell, DuPont and others are looking at coming back from overseas and putting up plants near the supply,” Fine said. The only foreseeable difficulty would be moving the products out of this region to where they need to go, and that could be accomplished through the construction of a railroad line from Thoreau to Farmington. The Navajo Nation is in partnership with Burlington Northern to develop a line out of Thoreau, so the tribe also has been invited to have a seat at the table for the development of this policy. “This will be the first New Mexico Energy Policy that will have an adjunct with the Navajo Nation,” Fine said. “The state is recognizing their energy policy. That is something new.” The tribe is developing its own coal facility with the purchase of Navajo Mine from BHP Billiton. That coal will need to be hauled away from the facility and rail is the tribe’s best bet to get that done. “Burlington Northern could export that coal,” Fine said, adding this is being worked on in the
private sector, but would benefit the entire state. “You have the potential that someone could put in rail and make money,” Sec. Martin said. Another aspect of this policy is to develop a federal-state partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding that would allow for the “co-management” of federal lands. “There are common areas where we could work together to make (the process) more effective,” Sec. Martin said. “We need to think outside of the box.” This came after Fine and Martin heard about the difficulties the industry has in securing federal permits to move forward with oil and gas development on BLM lands. The process takes four to six months through the BLM, while Martin believes the state could hand out the permits in less than 10 days. He also stated that while the BLM process allows for environmental impact studies and public comment periods, the state could award the permits in a shorter length of time. Martin suggested cutting the timeframe for the public comment period, but still respecting the environment. “Protecting the environment and the public health is paramount,” Sec. Martin said. The local session was “very productive” and provided “ample input,” Fine said, adding the audience was “reflective, informed and intelligent.” The representatives shared one important message of how dependent San Juan County is on the energy industry. “That message was loud and clear,” Fine said. The listening sessions will continue into 2014. The comments will be presented at a “cabinet level,” and the completed policy is expected to be completed within nine months, Martin said

What’s the biggest parenting mistake?
Too hard to choose; there’s more than just one A journalist recently asked “What is the biggest mistake parents make?” I had to think about that. Which parents? The biggest mistake made by some parents is they pay entirely too much attention to and do entirely too much for their children. These children usually, but not always,
end up as spoiled brats. Why not always? Because some children, by mysterious means, manage to do well in spite of less-than-optimal parenting. The notion that one is produced by the manner in which one is raised is belied by the many excep-
LIVING WITH CHILDREN John Rosemond tions, including children who do well despite bad upbring-
ings and children who do badly in spite of good up-
bringings. On the other hand, some parents’ biggest mistake is that they pay entirely too little attention to their kids. Those folks are not generally found reading parenting columns, so I will not belabor their misdeeds. It would only
serve the purpose of giving my regular readers reason to celebrate themselves, which is an untoward thing to do under any circumstances. The biggest mistake made by still other parents is that

annexation in property tax and gross receipts tax collection, while spending $12,500 on services. In the long term, the city would spend more than it receives, because the combined property tax and GRT collection would be $104,365, while the costs of services are expected to be $282,800 annually. “Most departments believe at current levels they can serve the development, but in the long term they identified other costs,” Fillerup said. “The expenses are greater in the long run annually than the anticipated revenues.” The property is being annexed to complete the Little Creek Subdivision, and 90 percent of the property belongs to Joe Kozimor, Joe and Stan, LLC. It will be zoned for single family residential use. The annexed property would be the new location for Kozimor to build lowincome housing, “more squeezed together, less-expensive housing above Water Works and a few more lots above Soaring Eagle,” Kozimor said during an October City Council meeting. Councilor Dan Darnell asked about “Smart Development” and if the land would include light industrial, multi-family units and single residential houses. Kozimor said that option 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 city originally planned to annex the Kozimor property along with 0.9 acres belonging to Hector Rangel. The Rangel property was removed from the annexation after Rangel wrote a letter of opposition. “I am opposed to being annexed into the city of Farmington for a variety of reasons, succinctly summarized as higher taxes and additional regulation,” Rangel wrote in an Oct. 16 letter. “Given that this annexation appears to be predominantly residential in nature, it is doubtful if there will be any financial benefit to existing Farmington residents through the annexation.” City Attorney Jay Burnham must prepare an ordinance for the annexation to move forward. That ordinance should be completed and published prior to the Dec. 10 City Council meeting, when the Council is expected to adopt it, completing the process.
“I got new knees and my old life back!”
Sandy Kennedy of Farmington, New Mexico, had lost much of her mobility. She had both knees replaced care of San Juan Regional’s Total Joint Program. Within weeks, she was up on her feet and taking walks with her husband. Sandy Kennedy was suffering from chronic knee and joint pain. “I couldn’t function normally from day to day, recalls Sandy. “That’s when I said to myself, okay, you can’t walk. That was the turning point. I called the Total Joint Care Center at San Juan Regional Medical Center.” Most people who need joint replacement have severe pain that makes it difficult to walk, climb stairs, get up from a chair, or carry on with other normal activities. Knee and hip replacements can significantly relieve pain and increase mobility in about 90% of people who get them. Joint replacement can be a life-changing procedure for the right patients. Weeks after her surgery and with physical therapy, Sandy is back to her old self — rather her new self. She’s able to move comfortably around her kitchen, vacuum her home, and even go for walks in the countryside with her husband.

Piedra Vista High School Assistant Principal Anthony Smagacz welcomes veterans and students to the World War II Veterans Commemoration Ceremony on Nov. 11.
Ceremony dedicated to World War II veterans LAUREN SEIP Tri-City Tribune With the American flag as the backdrop, World War II veterans rose from their seats and a cheering audience stood up to honor them during a Nov. 11 Veterans Day Commemoration Ceremony at Piedra Vista High School in Farmington. While veterans from other wars were also recognized at the ceremony in the Turano-Chrisman Theater, the theme specifically revolved around World War
II.
Navajo Code Talkers were among the World War II veterans honored at the commemoration ceremony.
“We honor all veterans, but this year we decided it was time to honor WWII veterans,” said Colonel David Naber, the Piedra Vista Junior ROTC instructor. Piedra Vista’s JROTC program organizes the Veterans Day presentation every three years. More than 15 World War II Veterans from San Juan County were honored at the ceremony. “You will always be recognized as America’s heroes. You are what is defined as the great-
est generation,” said Anthony Smagacz, Piedra Vista assistant principal. Those World War II veterans who were recognized included Jackson Lee, who was a colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps and served in the South Pacific as an air traffic controller during the war. Veterans Day is a time for him to “mostly remember,” explained Lee, adding that serving in World War II “changed everyone around. I really had not got settled down when the war started. It gave me a new insight on what was going on.” After World War II ended, Lee was appointed by former President Ronald Reagan to be the liaison for the Federal Communications Commission. Lee was born and raised in Nebraska and lived in North Carolina for 30 years before moving to the Four Corners. At the Veterans Day ceremony, Piedra Vista Junior ROTC members presented the colors and performed a drill team exhibition, which is a modified routine that involves complex marching sequences. The Piedra Vista choir and band performed a World War II medley and a United States Armed Forces Service medley. Then, two students played “Taps” on their trumpets while the audience rose to show their respect

for the fallen soldiers. “Taps” is a musical piece sounded during flag ceremonies and at military funerals. Naber said it is crucial for students to witness the Veterans Day Commemoration Ceremony because
“We are so blessed in this country to have rights that many countries don’t have – freedom of speech, religion, to pursue dreams and goals – but all freedoms come at a sacrifice. You see what World War II did and
how many died for us to enjoy the freedoms we have today. By inviting the student body here, it might help them recognize the freedoms and what it takes to maintain those freedoms.”

Oxfam Banquet
Event focuses on hunger, poverty issues facing many Americans DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week's end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You unearth some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you've learned secret for now. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You'll find people more likely to offer information if you're discreet when making your inquiries. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You're probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it's time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Librans looking for romance. Aspects are also favorable for platonic relationships. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week's end, your emotional barometer should start to rise.
Each night in Farmington, more than 200 homeless children go to bed hungry. Hunger on a global scale is even greater as the world’s population becomes poorer and poorer. The San Juan College chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success and Student Activities will address the issue of local and global hunger during the Oxfam Hunger Banquet from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in the 9000 Rooms of the Henderson Fine Arts Building. Those attending the banquet will pay $5 for a seat and meal. Just as people are born into poverty or wealth, those at the banquet will become wealthy or impoverished for three hours by the luck of the draw. “Folks will draw their

A person’s opportunity to draw wealthy or poor will be based on the makeup of the world’s population, which consists of greater numbers of poor than wealthy. Each group is served a meal representative of their income group, providing a realistic look at the hunger and poverty issues facing those less fortunate. The event will include a talk about world hunger, and a presentation from ECHO Food Bank about local hunger.

Arthritis:
What we can do to help our aging pets Well, the clock is turned back and the warmth of summer and fall is changing to the cold and dark of winter! This is the time of year I worry about my older patients and arthritis. I always say that if you’re lucky enough, your pet will live long enough to get arthritis. Whether you’ve got a large breed of dog or a small cat, chances are that you’ll be dealing with arthritis as your pet ages. Arthritis is a disease of the joints that typically reduces a pet’s mobility and causes pain. The onset of arthritis can happen for a bevy of reasons, but the more common form results from simple joint wear
as luxating patellas.
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson DVM prevention and treatment. Armed with the knowledge that you’ll have to deal with arthritis at some point in your pet’s future, ask your veterinarian for an honest assessment of her risk for the disease. Some factors that can come into play: breed, size, excess weight, current or past evidence of arthritis (slowing down, exercise intolerance, reluctance to jump and loss of muscle mass), past injuries and joint abnormalities such
and tear that’s often accelerated by conditions such as hip dysplasia. This type of arthritis is referred to as osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. Although you can’t halt the progression of the disease, the onset of severe arthritis in pets can often be delayed and its symptoms – pain, weakness, difficulty rising, limping and muscle wasting – can be alleviated using a variety of accessible and effective approaches to both

So what can you do at home to prevent and manage arthritis? Weight loss is mandatory for the majority of veterinary patients with arthritis. Whether you have an afflicted or an at-risk pet, I strongly recommend that all patients – even very young pets who are either giant breeds or who have conditions like hip dysplasia and luxating patellas – stay on the trim side. It’s no longer enough to just maintain a normal weight – keeping your pet lean is the best way to prevent and control arthritis and is such a simple cost-effective and healthy remedy. Feed a good quality food, set amounts twice daily. Do not free feed. Exercise is the other important and no-cost-to-you activity and treatment which will help pets with arthritis. I had a 70-year-old man doing work at our house, such as raking and bagging leaves and some chainsaw work. I was amazed at his ability to do physical work, and of course he was lean and in shape. When asked his secret he said you must keep moving otherwise you will be like an old unused car that rusts up and locks up. Really simple but accurate advice. With an arthritic pet, it is imperative to have daily activity and play time. Flat surface leash walks are best for old dogs and for cats find a special

Here is a top ten list to help an arthritic pet 1. Take your pet in for regular checkups so that your veterinarian can monitor your pet’s arthritis and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. 2. Getting or keeping your pet slim can help by decreasing the load on his joints. Your best bet: feeding your pet the right amount of high-quality food. Science Diet has a prescription diet called J/D (Joint Diet) that is very effective. 3. Controlled exercise is a must, but make sure you carefully monitor your pet while she plays, walks, or runs. If possible, find a soft surface for activity. Your veterinarian can offer more suggestions for getting your pet moving regularly. 4. As much as possible, keep your pet warm and dry, since cold and damp conditions can aggravate arthritis. Consider investing in a padded bed and apply warm compresses to painful joints. 5. Laser therapy – We have had a class IV therapeutic laser for some time now and found it very effective for arthritis such as hip and knee pain. Google “Companion Laser Therapy” to learn more. 6. Pain medication, including nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (commonly called NSAIDs), in NM's cattle country 7:55 a.m.: San Juan Smart Talk

may help relieve pain, and disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) can also play an important role. Talk to your veterinarian before giving your dog any medication. 7. Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements can be used to help improve joint mobility and support better joint functioning for pets with arthritis. All older pets should be on these supplements. 8. Acupuncture isn’t just for people. This painless technique has shown some success in animals suffering from arthritis. 9. If your pet’s arthritis is advanced, surgery may be an option. Ask your veterinarian about the pros and cons of surgery and what you can expect. 10. Be sure to take steps to adjust his environment at home. Some things that can help an arthritic dog or cat include; providing soft supportive bedding for his achy joints, using ramps to help a dog get in and out of a car or up to a bed, and putting down carpeting and secure rugs to help him get traction as he walks. One of the aspects I enjoy the most about practice is helping our senior pets have an engaged, and, as much as possible, painfree quality of life. We have a lot of treatment tools to accomplish this. If you think your pet is experiencing arthritis, it is time to call your Farmington veterinarian to help your four-legged family member.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS JP Murrieta One down, many more to come. University of New Mexico men’s basketball coach Craig Neal won his first game as head coach beating Alabama A&M, 88-52. “I was nervous again,” said Neal following the win. Despite his nerves, Neal was motivational in his first pregame speech as head coach. “I put on the board, before we went down, ‘The Journey Begins Tonight,’” said Neal. “This is Cameron (Bairstow) and Kendall’s (Williams) last journey with us. I told those guys to take a moment and enjoy the journey.” Lobo big man Alex Kirk is only a junior, but in my opinion this will likely be his last journey too. Based on his stock already, if Kirk has a good season he would likely enter the NBA draft. But there’s a long way to go before he gets to next summer. “We made a pretty good statement to the country that we’re going to be good again,” said Kirk following the win. Kirk has a fan club of at least one in the locker room. Kirk explained how 7-foot-1-inch freshman center Obij Aget wasn’t afraid to tell Kirk how much he admired him.
“He came up to me before the game and said ‘I’m going to be the next you’ and I’m like ‘Whoa! What’s happening here,’” said a humbled Kirk. The Lobos will host Charleston Southern on Sunday afternoon. Special K Kendall Williams and Alex Kirk are considered two of the top 50 players in the country. The two Lobos were named to the John Wooden Award watch list. The honor goes to the best player in college basketball. Williams and Kirk are the only two Mountain West players on the list. Williams scored 17 points with seven assists and no turnovers against Alabama A&M last Saturday, while Kirk had a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds to go along with two blocked shots. Coming soon Neal received two national letters of intent this week. Xavier Adams, a 65 swingman out of Texas, and Joe Furstinger, a 6-8 forward, will join the team for the 2014-15 season. Adams averaged 25.7 points per game as a junior and grabbing 13.6 rebounds per game in high school just outside of Dallas.

In the quarters, Aztec survived a 1-0 scare from Piedra Vista while Farmington handled Goddard 3-1. This put Farmington and Aztec in a semifinal matchup, which may not be ideal, but does guarantee a district team in the championship. Aztec topped Farmington 3-1 advancing the Tigers to a showdown with No. 1 St.
Pius. The Sartans prevailed in the finals 2-1. On the boys’ side, the results were disappointing for Bloomfield and Farmington with both teams losing in the quarterfinals. Bloomfield was blanked by Bosque 3-0 while the Scorpions lost to Los Alamos 1-0. In state cross country, four seemed to be the magic number for the county schools.

Farmington to reach the 1AAAA district championship against Piedra Vista. The Panthers justified their No. 1 seed with a straight set 3-0 win over the Tigers. Shiprock came out on top in District 1AAA with an impressive tournament run that got them to the state playoffs knocking off Wingate in the district championship. State Seedings The football state seedings came out on Saturday and, as expected, the 1AAAA dis-
trict champions Farmington received a No. 2 seed, a bye this coming weekend and a home game next week. Piedra Vista came in at No. 10 and will have to travel to Valencia on Friday. If the Panthers can get by the Jaguars on Friday, it would set up a district championship rematch with the Scorpions. Bloomfield also received a top 4 seed which allows the Bobcats to wait around this weekend and play at home next week and despite a 9-1 record the Navajo Prep
Eagles only received a No. 8 seed which gives them a home game this weekend to kick off their playoff run. The volleyball seedings for pool play came out this weekend as well. It appears that Aztec’s upset of Farmington got the Tigers in at the No. 11 seed. Farmington fell to the No. 7 seed and Piedra Vista claimed the top overall seed in class 4A trying to make it to the finals for the second consecutive year.

he’s going to develop and be a really good player. Both of these guys will have a chance to play as freshman.” Double-double animal style UNM guard Antiesha Brown was named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week for her effort on opening day. Brown scored a career best 28 points and eleven rebounds in UNM’s 69-65 win over Loyola Marymount. It was Brown’s first career doubledouble. Her 28 points were the second most scored by a Lobo in a season opener. Run, run away The Lobo football team racked up an impressive 451 yards in a 45-37 win over Air Force last Friday. Senior running back Kasey Carrier finished with 179 yards on 27 carries and quarterback Cole Gautsche put up 140
yards of his own. UNM called 58 straight rushing plays against Air Force. 58 in a row! The Lobos only threw the ball three times. Their only completion was UNM’s first touchdown of the game. So why don’t they throw the ball more? Head coach Bob Davie says it has nothing to do with any lack of confidence in their quarterback. Davie says they run the ball so much because he wants to keep his defense off the field. Makes sense. The Lobos can’t stop anybody. They gave up 445 yards to the Falcons and only managed two defensive stops. UNM is surrendering over 35 points a game. “If we were better on defense, we would throw it more,” said Davie. “We just want to find a way to NOT punt the ball. It’s not because
we don’t have more confidence in Cole to throw it, it’s more of a defense issue right now.” When Davie was asked this week if they would throw the ball more against Colorado State on Saturday, he said “I hope we don’t have to.” Go fish UNM men’s soccer coach

obituary Joyce Elizabeth Donald A beautiful life, well lived .… On November 11, 2013, Joyce Elizabeth Donald passed from this world to the next, leaving behind a legacy that will linger on – Joyce was born and lived in the Cleveland, Ohio, area for many years and she and her husband, Harry, later moved to Albuquerque and then on to Farmington in 1979. Since that day she worked to enrich the lives of thousands of people in San Juan County and beyond. Her more than 30year association with the Better Business Bureau is legendary. Using that organization to reach into
the community, she was deeply involved in the welfare of people in this area. Joyce’s “projects” included extensive work with the San Juan County Rotary, Leadership San Juan, the Four Corners Conference for Professional Development, the All Veterans Memorial Park, the Four Corners Vietnam War Monu-
ment, the Regional Animal and Pet Shelter Project, the Anasazi Foundation, the Freedom Days Parade, the Farmington Chamber of Commerce, the United Way, and many other groups over the years. Her awards were many and varied: First woman in the state of New Mexico to join Rotary, Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year, Four Corners Conference Woman of the Year, Rotary’s Paul Harris Award, Farmington Chamber’s Historymakers Hall of Fame, Navajo Ministries “Celebrity Roast” and many other acknowledgements of the work she did daily. Joyce’s legacy lives on through the many people’s
lives that she touched over the years. She constantly worked to help people attain their goals and she made each person feel like they were part of her “family.” Everyone knew her, loved her and wanted to do the good things that she asked them to help her accomplish. Ever a mother, mentor and a friend .… “To live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy .…” Stephen Covey Memorials may be made to: San Juan Rotary Club, P.O.

All sales final. Added to the line-up at the Community Concert Hall for Winter/Spring 2014 are: The Grascals With special guest Running Out Of Road Jan. 18, 2014 7 p.m. $18/$24 The Grascals are among the most beloved and acclaimed bands on today’s bluegrass scene. As their releases prove, The Grascals’ rare musical empathy gives the band members an unerring ear for just the right touch to illuminate each of-
fering’s deepest spirit – whether they’re digging into one of their original songs or reworking a bluegrass classic or pop standard. This unique sound has earned the band two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album. The Grascals’ special guest, Durango-based Running Out Of Road, delves into the nature of great American roots style music through arrangement and performance of original material, contributing to the ever-growing bluegrass tradition of Colorado. Colin Quinn “Unconstitutional” Feb. 6, 2014 7 p.m. $28/$34 A veteran of “Saturday Night Live,” stand-up comedian Colin Quinn returns to the stage in “Unconstitutional,” tackling 226 years of American Constitutional calamities in 70 minutes. In 1787, 55 delegates in wigs and tights sat down to create a country from scratch. In 2013, Quinn offers his unique comedic perspective on the U.S. national character.

From predator drones to the Kardashians, he pulls no punches in asking if this is what the founding fathers planned. “Unconstitutional” has received rave reviews, including “Hilarious! Wonderfully riotous!” (The Hollywood Reporter) and “Fast, furious and funny! In Quinn we trust.” (New York Daily News). An Evening with Keb’ Mo’ Feb. 26, 2014 7 p.m. $40/$50 The music of blues great Keb’ Mo’ is a post-modern expression of the artistic and cultural journey that has transformed the blues over time. His distinctive sound embraces multiple eras and genres, including pop, rock, folk and jazz, in which he is well-versed. His unique sound owes as much to the contemporary singer-songwriter movement, including inspiration from his longtime friends and collaborators Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, as to the spirit of blues godfather Robert Johnson. For Keb’ Mo’, the common bond between these influences is the underlying storytelling ethic, the power of song to convey human experience and emotional weight. Cody ChesnuTT March 20, 2014 7:30 p.m. $18/$24 Hailed as a thrilling new figure in music, Cody Ches-
nuTT is a soul troubadour whose frank, socially conscious ruminations on life continue to challenge popular notions of what modern soul music can look and sound like. Called a “raw storyteller for the people, wearing a guitar and a toothpick-chewing smirk,” ChesnuTT has always stood his own creative ground. Truthfulness emanates from ChesnuTT’s vocal chords and the strings of his guitar, while his strong, sensitive voice continues to command listeners with its riveting sound, leading them to their own higher ground. Los Lobos Disconnected March 27, 2014 7:30 p.m. $39/$49 Los Lobos may be most widely known for the hit La Bamba, but for 40 years the band has reigned as one of the world’s most innovative and critically acclaimed groups. Formed in the mid1970s by David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas Louis Perez and Conrad Lozano, Los Lobos began as a traditional acoustic Mexican group, but under the influence of L.A.’s ’80s punk rock scene, the members went electric, thus incorporating their blues, R&B, Latin, jazz and rock influences into an energized sound. With the current tour, Los Lobos is celebrating 40 years of ground-breaking music with a new album, Disconnected.

Amish Recycling The Amish have many admirable traits: generosity, a work ethic, a Godly discipline, thriftiness and a small footprint on the ecology. Talk about recycling! They put us glass, tin can, cardboard, energyhungry practitioners to shame. We use so much diesel, gas and oil driving, hauling, mashing, crushing and condensing the messes we make it’s probably not an even trade! The Amish don’t make a mess in the first place. An example of their “leave no mess” philosophy was demonstrated when Amish Joe decided to sell a cull cow at the
ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE Baxter Black, DVM
local sale barn in rural Indiana. Joe hired a man to haul her. Joe’s son Jack and his brother-in-law, Amos all wanted to go. They could only fit three in the pickup so Amos climbed in the stock trailer with the cow. It was November, the trailer was a solid body gooseneck with full doors so there was no danger of Amos getting cold. Once they reached the auction and parked in the unloading line, Joe and
Jack went into the barn to visit. Amos waited patiently for them to come back, till finally he beat on the side of the trailer. This racket woke the driver, who came back and opened the trailer gates. Amos stepped out into the daylight, paused, and the cow ran out over the top of him! She trotted through the parking lot and as truck doors opened she showed them all her tail! Out onto the four lane highway, she looked
back with pride, and was blindsided by a well-used faded gray Toyota Camry! When Joe reached the scene of the collision he noted that the hood was dented and one headlight had a black eye. Joe offered to take the victim’s information, but he took one look at the dazed cow and said, “No thanks!” Before anybody could grab a rope, the cow struggled to her feet and ran into a newly harvested soybean field. The chase was on! The pursuers never had a chance, bogged down, slinging mud and stumbling over each other. Then, the Indiana State
Police arrived! One officer stayed to monitor the radio, the other, Officer York, had just come on duty. His hat was clean, his shirt was starched, his brass was polished and his shoes were shined. “I ain’t goin’ out der,” said Officer York, “but with your permission I will restrain the cow.” He drew his Glock 22, chambered for .40 S&W and began firing at the cow 20 yards away. After a few stray shots he handed the pistol to Joe, who brought her down with one bullet. The policeman asked about disposal of the carcass. Joe said he would
take care of it. After a 30 minute trip to Wal-Mart he returned to the scene of the gun battle with a roll of plastic, Coleman lantern, meat saw and some butcher knives. By 2 a.m. they were putting a cowful of wrapped primal cuts in his propane freezer back home in the milk barn. We can all learn a lesson about real recycling from Joe. As to what Joe learned, he remarked that if he was ever being pursued by the state police he’d prefer it be Officer York, especially if gun fire was involved. www.baxterblack.com

Anthurium
Beautiful plant will add color to your house this winter It is general knowledge that houseplants add huge health benefits to homes. Reducing indoor air pollution, increasing good humidity levels and adding oxygen are all benefits of houseplants. Achieving all of these great benefits with a beautiful blooming easyto-grow plant is a huge plus. Anthuriums are a gorgeous, relatively easy-togrow flowering plant. This plant is well known for its huge red, pink or white heart-shaped flowers. They are resilient and will survive
ADVICE YOU CAN GROW WITH Donnie Pigford
as an indoor plant for a remarkable period of time, even in unfavorable indoor conditions. Anthuriums grow best with day temperatures of 78 to 90 degrees, and night
temperatures above 55 F. Temperatures above 90 F
may cause foliar burning, faded flower color, and reduced flower life. Night temperatures between 40 to 50 degrees can result in slow growth and yellowing of lower leaves, and a freeze will kill. Anthuriums prefer a growing medium that is coarse and well drained.
They should be planted in a light, well-draining soil, or coconut coir. When they are young, plants should be planted in a mix that is not quite so coarse, to retain moisture. The soil should be settled firmly around the roots and the root system should fill the pot before the plant is stepped up to a larger pot size. Fertilizing is an important part of all houseplant care. When fertilizing flowering plants, it is necessary to use a good balanced fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phos-
phate and potash. I prefer using an organic fertilizer (such as Fox Farm’s Tiger Bloom) on indoor potted plants, since they are not as highly concentrated. Overfertilizing can do major damage to plants. With the right light, good watering technique and proper fertilizing, Anthuriums can add a major impact to an indoor location. Plants such as Anthuriums, African Violets, Peace Lilies and Kalanchoes will add colorful flowers to the indoors, during the cold winter months.
One Book, One Community Committee hosts experts for uranium mining discussion The One Book, One Community Committee will host a panel discussion with the topic surrounding the impact of Uranium mining at 7 p.m. on Nov. 21, in the Little Theatre. The panel discussion is being held in conjunction with the 2013 One Book, One Community selection Yellowcake. The panel will include Doug Brugge, Timothy Benally, Nina Benally and Michael Darmody. Doug Brugge holds a Master’s of Science degree
from Harvard University School of Public Health and a Ph.D. in cellular and developmental biology, also from Harvard. He is currently a professor at Tuft’s University School of Medicine. His research includes studies of asthma; of traffic-related pollution; of the impact of culture and language on health communication; the health impact of environmental tobacco smoke; motor vehicle related injuries; and the impact of uranium mining
and processing on American Indians. In 2007 he testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on uranium contamination in the Navajo Nation. Timothy Benally cowrote The Navajo People and Uranium Mining with Doug Brugge and Esther YazzieLewis. He also conducted and translated interviews with former Navajo uranium miners, widows and children of miners for the book Memories Come to Us
Rosemond they think the misbehavior of a toddler is cute, or they rationalize their failure to discipline at that critical state by saying such things as “He’s only 20 months old, after all” and “It’s just a stage – he’ll grow out of it.” Parents of the pre-psychological era understood the need to nip misbehavior in the proverbial bud, when it first reared its ugly little head. Today’s parents lull themselves into dangerous inaction with such fluffy, largely meaningless homilies as “Don’t sweat the small stuff ” when in fact all of the big stuff begins as small stuff. Without early correction, tantrums grow into rages, disobedience grows into defiance, occasional disrespect grows into belligerence, and not picking up one’s toys grows into refusal to do one’s schoolwork. The biggest mistake made by a lot of parents is they combine wordy explanations with instructions, as in “Honey, a friend of mine is coming over and I’d like to serve coffee in this room, so I need you to pick up these toys and move them somewhere else, okay?” Explanations invite push-back, as in “I was here first! Why can’t you and your friend use the kitchen?” These parents tell me their children are argumentative, which simply means that they, the parents, combine explanations with instructions. Under those conditions, all children, being clever, will seize the opportunity to push back. In this example, the proper form is “I want
you to pick up these toys and move them somewhere else, right now,” and the proper response to “Why?” is “Because I said so.” And then, as in the above example, the biggest mistake made by some parents is attaching “okay?” on to the end of what they think are instructions. This quickly becomes a bad habit. I once had a parent count the num-
ber of times she did that in a day. She reported over 50, telling me that even though she was counting, she couldn’t make herself stop. “Okay?” is not an instruction. It is a nambypamby request, a petition made to the resident prince or princess of petulance. It deserves to be ignored, which is what usually happens.
in the Rain and the Wind: Oral Histories and Photographs of Navajo Uranium Miners and their Families. He is the former director of the Office of Navajo Uranium Workers, a Navajo Nation office that worked with the U.S. Department of Justice to identify former Navajo uranium workers and ensure that they received appropriate compensation. He was also the Director of the Uranium Education Project at Diñe College before he retired Nina Benally worked as a volunteer and legal assistant for attorney Cheri
Daut-Neztsosie in Shiprock from 1989-1999. During that time, she conducted over 100 interviews with families affected by illnesses related to uranium exposure. Michael Darmody is an artist and adjunct instructor in the San Juan College Art Department. His graduate thesis revolved around the uranium industry and traced its impact from the Navajo Reservation to California. Yellowcake follows the stories of two families – one Navajo and one Anglo – some 20 years after the closing of the uranium mill
near Shiprock, where they once made their homes. With some of the mine workers facing illnesses, community members are banding together in hopes of a lawsuit, while others have no interest in dredging up the past. Yellowcake is the moving story of how everyday people sort their way through life, with all of its hidden hazards.

Group helps 305 needy kids buy clothes Campaign, which began Nov. 7 and ends Dec. 7 with more than 600 local children receiving new or gently used coats. Nearly 90 percent of the children who received new clothes in the Clothes for Children event signed up to receive coats, and their siblings also signed up to receive the jackets. “We hope that we can collect 600 to 700 coats so that we have enough coats to distribute,” McQueary said.
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Little Lileigh Peace hugged her new purple top to her chest and flashed a huge smile. The 4-year-old child showed up at Target on Nov. 7 in a little pink outfit and no shoes. She was ready to shop for something new. “My girls love coming out to shop,” said Chris Peace, the father of Lileigh. Earlier in the week, he had received an invitation from the Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club, and that invitation was to spend as much time as he needed to find $100 worth of clothing and shoes for his little girls with the club footing the bill. Peace was one parent of hundreds who were given the opportunity to shop with their kids and buy them new clothing as part of the Kiwanis Club’s Clothes for Children event Nov. 6 and7 at the Farmington Target. “It’s nice having a program like this to help us out,” Peace said. “Sometimes we have a hard time buying clothes. This helps and it means a great deal to us.” The Rio del Sol Kiwanis club raised enough funds to buy $100 worth of clothing and shoes for 305 needy children in San Juan County.

Coats are being collected through Dec. 4 in bins set up at Farmington’s Fire Stations 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, 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 coats will be distributed to children on Dec. 7 at the Farmington Fire Station 6 at 3101 W. Main St.

new pair of pants. “This is actually really special. It means a lot to us,” Mulnix said. The Kiwanis Club pulled this event together in a few short months, when its members realized the longstanding program might not continue. “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 members began contacting local businesses and seeking financial donations, and as always the community not only
opened its heart, it opened its pocketbooks. “Our sponsors were ConocoPhillips, BHP Billiton, Western Refining, BP, Merrion Oil & Gas, Orthopedic Associates, XRAYNM Services, and Target,” said Jill McQueary, secretary of Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club. ConocoPhillips and BHP even offered their employees to volunteer to shop with parents and their children. The volunteers’ duty was to add up each desired item and let the family know when the $100 limit was reached. Then the volunteers helped the families through designated shopping lanes that Target
opened specifically to help the Clothes for Children project. Doug Hepner was a volunteer from ConocoPhillips who enjoyed helping a little boy find some new Marvel tennis shoes. “I think this is pretty cool,” he said. Near the end of the event on Nov. 7, another ConocoPhillips volunteer purchased and delivered more than 20 brand new children’s coats from Target to the Kiwanis Club. McQueary had tears in her eyes when she saw the coats piled high in a shopping cart. The coats were to be given to San Juan County children through the club’s Coats for Kids

Mon’s Grill
New restaurant offers unique Spanish dishes DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Phil Gallegos has always enjoyed a good meal, so he learned to cook. Cooking soon became his passion, and he left a career in law enforcement to open a restaurant. On Oct. 4, in Historic Downtown Farmington, Gallegos opened the doors to Mon’s Spanish Grill. He rented the building that formerly housed the Emerson Gallery and converted Anthony Emerson’s studio into a kitchen. Gallegos wanted a location in the downtown, because he felt the area was “drying up, and we’re hoping we can turn that around,” he said. The grill offers a variety of unique Spanish dishes including a ceviche taco,
with a warm ceviche; seafood paella and enchiladas with unique Spanish-inspired fillings. “Most of our recipes are from Spain, but we altered them a little bit,” Gallegos said. “We wanted
to start with what people would like, or would at least try.” For example, seafood paella typically includes clams, mussels and shrimp, but at Mon’s it is shrimp and vegetables. Gallegos
said many local residents did not want to eat clams and mussels. He also pointed out that ceviche in Spain would be served in an empanada, but there was a percentage of the population that was not
familiar with that, so he puts the fillings in tacos and enchiladas. “We’re hoping to introduce people to a flavor,” he said. The flavor is developed from old family recipes that have not been altered. “The chilis are my grandmother’s recipe. I would watch her and watch my dad cook,” Gallegos said. “Over the years people have changed the recipes. When you go back to the old recipes, it makes them new.” He uses fresh ingredients and prepares the meats when ordered. “We try to get the meals out in under 15 minutes,” Gallegos said. “Some of the plates we can do that, because everything is grilled fresh. Everything we grill, it’s been marinating. Once
it’s ordered, I grill it.” Gallegos runs the business with his wife, Nelly, and he said both were raised to be hard workers. They wanted to take that work ethic and transform it into a business of their own. “We wanted to do something for ourselves and for the community by helping rebuild Downtown Farmington,” he said. Another way Gallegos, a Marine Corps Veteran, wants to help the community is by dedicating an entire wall of the restaurant to members of the United State Military. “We would love for community members to bring in photos of their loved ones who are serving or who have served,” Gallegos said. “This is for the community and we want it to take on a life of its own.”

Celtic vocalist Maura O’Connell
Special guest, John Mock opens show Friday at Fort Lewis DURANGO, Colo. – Maura O’Connell, a singer known for blending the Celtic and folk sounds from her formative years in Ireland, and filtering them through contemporary American country and bluegrass music, comes to the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College, Friday, Nov. 15. Her special guest, guitarist John Mock, takes the stage at 7 p.m. Called a captivating stylist, introspective chanteuse, musical explorer and songwriter’s singer, O’Connell began her professional musical journey as a vocalist for the traditional Celtic group De Dannan. While in Dublin, and on later trips to Nashville, she met a series of leading acoustic players, including Sam Bush, Béla Fleck, Tim O’Brien and Jerry Douglas.

She discovered the music of these talented Americana artists resonated with her, and ultimately it influenced her then ground-breaking musical penchant for weaving her Celtic traditions
with a wide variety of other genres. Wrote the Dallas Morning News, “Maura O’Connell brings great songs to passionate life with her voice: a sturdy, melodic,

from-the-soul instrument. Her interpretive powers are near-perfect as is her ability to make someone else’s personal lyrics universal.” Stepping outside her personal music world, O'Connell was cast by Martin Scorsese as an Irish immigrant street singer in the epic The Gangs of New York, released in 2002. O’Connell has also collaborated with numerous Celtic, folk, pop and country artists including Shawn Colvin, Van Morrison and Dolly Parton. With a self-imposed mandate to always bring something new and exciting to everything she sings, O’Connell’s multi-decade career has earned her international acclaim, as well as two Grammy nominations – including one in 2010 for her most recent release Naked With Friends, her first a cappella album revered for its undiluted

Nellie
NN was “working” on a project that her “financial advisers” believed would make her a gazillion dollars. Since NN never has enough money for retail therapy, wine, or mortgage and/or car payments, NN set up shop in the old storage shed and started to “work.” The project included taking the hooker heels off the hooker shoe part, drilling a small hole in the heel, and filling it with things that people like James Bond or Iman Investor could use in the course of their “work.” NN had several drills for holes that could accommodate treasures that could save lives, repel “bad” guys/gals, and/or be useful if JB or II were being held “hostage” some place. NN filled those cute little hooker heels with a pea shooter and some peas, arrows in case JB or II happen to have a bow in their backpack/designer bag, N&Ns, in case they get hungry; Baileys and coffee, in case they need to get their jolt on; and Crayons and a coloring book, in case they’re bored. Everything was going pretty well until NN got to the Baileys and coffee part. NN kept “spilling” the Baileys into a large tube that was hooked up to NN’s mouth in case she needed refreshments. NN prob’ly had a few too much “refreshment” and spilled the tube of Baileys into the fire pit she uses to keep the bad spirits away when she’s working. The Baileys and the fire didn’t like each other and a “small” explosion occurred, sending hooker heels, hooker shoe parts, frozen peas and sharp arrows all over the back of NN’s property, outside of the fence and into the back yards (inside the fences) of mosta NN’s neighbors. Someone called 8-1-1, which transferred the call to 7-1-1, which relayed it to 6-1-1, which sent it to NN’s cell phone, which worked out pretty well for NN. She called all the neighbors, told ’em it was a routine explosion and no one was injured or harmed during the “exercise,” and they should all lock their doors, go to bed and pull the covers up over their heads until the sun rose the next morning. Knowing that she is now on the “Most Dangerous and Horrible, Awful Violator of City Code Compliance,” NN was careful to recover the hooker heels and the arrows and to put them inside of her back fence at the rear of her property. The frozen peas were a little harder to find, so come spring, some of NN’s lovely neighbors may have peas growing in places they never dreamed of. NN does hope that none of the peas that may have landed at the back of her property, outside of her fence and to the center of the alley don’t survive the winter, in case the CCO’s aren’t peas in – or outta – the pod. Just sayin’. . .. NN is certain the hair on her head will grow back and the roof on the old storage shed will be repaired (NN’s “friends” in the “vehicle parts redemption” business came to the scene of the “incident/explosion” and have about a hundred old tires that will aid in the repair of the roof. NN is pretty certain that if the tires are inside of her fence, at the back of her property and nowhere near the center of the alley – and painted a lovely pea green – the CCO won’t cite her again. In addition to the excitement of the “Notice of Violation,” NN knows people who had birthdays this week, but still did not invite her to the party to have cake and ice cream and adult beverages. What’s up with that, NN wonders? Anyway, Tony
at the movies Atkinson, who mentored NN and was good and kind to her before he discovered her “alleged” crimes and that NN listed TA as an “accomplice” and that he, too, can never, ever go to Las Vegas again under his own name and must always, always dress in drag so the nice, but vigilant, law enforcement people there won’t know it’s him. TA is actually a pretty good looking woman, and the one time TA and NN hung out at an Off the Strip Dance Club, he got more hits than NN did. Just sayin’. . . ., TA had a birthday and prob’ly a party and prob’ly adult beverages and didn’t even call or text or send PMS messages so NN could join him and his ’nother (but prob’ly more important) friends. Whatever. Jenny Lee Ryan (who everyone knows loves Disneyland and Star Trek and her four-legged friends more than anything), DeeAnn Durbin (who is one of the sweetest, kindest and most amazing Farmington Young Professional and Wonder Women NN has ever known), Rick Tedrow (who cannot publicly acknowledge that he actually knows NN because of some “oath” he took stating as the Most Magnificent District Attorney in the World, he can’t hang out or be friends with “alleged” felons), Sheldon Pickering (who NN has actually and for reals heard make music from old blackboard erasers and three flash cards), Tedra Liessman (who is beautiful and good and kind and puts up with Richard Neeley like, almost every day, and while NN LOVES Richard, she thinks Tedra should get combat pay some of those days – just sayin’. . . . ), Rob Saline (who is one of those teddy bear kinda guys that all women love and he’s funny on top of it), and Fred Slayton (who is the bomb and has the cutest puppies EVER), all celebrated birthdays without NN. Happy birthday to you all and next year, don’t let NN’s invitation get lost in the mail. Please. NN and one of her BFFs, Lisa Martin, went to Albuquerque this week to see the beautiful and wonderful Gayle Dean honored as the Outstanding Fundraising Professional by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, New Mexico Chapter. It was a lovely luncheon and NN and LM sat at the same table with GD and her husband, Judge John Dean, and some ’nother important people. It was hard for JJD, however, on accounta he and NN are a “couple” and they sat next to each other and NN knows that everyone in that room felt the tension between NN and JJD. Gayle is such a sweetheart about it, on accounta she knows that NN never EVER messes with another woman’s husband, especially when that ’nother woman is as wonderful and perfect as Gayle. Just sayin’. . . . Congratulations to Gayle on an honor well deserved. NN and LM hooted and hollered and were asked to leave the dining room, but JJD used his “influence” and promised to make them behave if they could stay. It’s nice having friends in high places. Just sayin’. . . . On a very sad note, NN mourns the loss of one of Farmington’s finest, most endearing and most treasured citizens, Joyce Donald. Joyce was an icon in our community and a friend to everyone. Her energy and enthusiasm, and her total and complete devotion to her community, her family and her friends, will be missed by so many. Losing Joyce leaves a void that will never be filled, but NN is happy that Joyce has reunited with her husband and her children. Rest in peace, our friend, and thank you for all you did for us.

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA 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. Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing.

FREE BIRDS Rating: PG Synopsis: In this irreverent, hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy, directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!), two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the holiday menu for good.

With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again!
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through director Paul 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 the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Help for homeless students
CCSD purchases clothing, school supplies, hygiene products with Federal funds JAMES PREMINGER District Public Relations Specialist They didn’t smile. A homeless boy and a girl, just tall enough to be eye level with the conveyor belt, watched every item above them go by. Nothing escaped being observed, categorized, and filed. They knew the new clothing, shampoo and other hygiene products, and school supplies would soon be theirs. But these weren’t gifts and the smiles would come another day. Other more fortunate children took the items on the conveyor belt at the west-side Farmington, N.M., Wal-Mart for granted. Lane Hammitt, the Federal Programs specialist with the Central Consolidated School District Administration in Shiprock, N.M., also watched as the shopping carts were unloaded, and items made their way across the conveyor belt. She waited as the cashier scanned each item, reloaded the carts, and presented her the total bill. The district uses Federal Title

blankets and sheets if needed. “We are providing them everything they need to get to school,” said Kristy Stock, the district’s curriculum and instruction supervisor who also oversees Federal Programs and the Title 1 grant. All purchases go through the district’s purchase order system. The shopping excursion was for referred homeless children living with their moms at a domestic violence shelter; it was for children who have been removed from their homes by Navajo Nation Social Services due to domestic violence or alcohol abuse, and it was for children who double-up with relatives or friends because their parents can’t afford to give them a home. “It’s (also) considered homeless if your house burns down. That was happening a lot last April and May,” Hammitt said. “A lot (of homeless situations) lately is because of the economy. A lot of families are downsizing and moving in with other family members because they lost their job or got laid off.” The program helps any referred child enrolled in the Central Consolidated School District

who meets these or similar homeless situations including living out of a car, on the streets, or in an abandoned building. CCSD students in any homeless situation should be referred by their school nurse, school guidance counselor, or principal – or by the parents themselves – to Hammitt’s office. The district also gets referrals from Navajo Nation Social Services. Hammitt, the Central Consolidated School District’s homeless programs liaison, goes to Wal-Mart a couple of times a month, or more if necessary, to
make purchases for CCSD homeless students who have referrals. “I will purchase the items with the parents,” Hammitt said, adding the program, which allocates $100 in purchased supplies per referred student, can be utilized only once a year. “Last year the Federal Title I Grant helped about 50 to 60 homeless CCSD students,” she said, adding she wished more parents knew about the program and sought help if needed. For help or for further information contact Lane Hammitt at 505.368.4984 or hamml@centralschools.org.

BLUE CORN, The Journey
Robert Mirabal in concert at Fort Lewis American Indian flutist and composer Robert Mirabal comes to the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College with BLUE CORN, The Journey, featuring the Jemez Pueblo Dancers, on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Curtain is 7 p.m. A two-time Grammy award-winner, Robert Mirabal lives at the foot of the sacred Taos Mountain in northern New Mexico and maintains a traditional life, keeping the centuries-old customs of the Taos Pueblo people. He has been described as a “Native American Renaissance man” – musician, composer, painter, master craftsman, poet, actor, screenwriter, horseman and farmer. A proponent of world music, Mirabal has merged his indigenous American sound with those of Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, tapping into a planetary pulse with a style that defies categorization. Offering “exquisitely nuanced flute playing” (according to the New York Times), Mirabal creates music from his soul that honors the spirits of the Earth. Mirabal immersed him-
self in music at Indian school, learning clarinet, sax, piano, drums and more. At age 18 he discovered the flute and purchased his first instrument – handmade by a man in the pueblo – with money borrowed from his grandmother. Shortly thereafter he had the opportunity to
meet American Indian flute player R. Carlos Nakai, who greatly influenced him. By 1988 he had recorded his first self-titled album. Since that time, Mirabal has continued the evolution of his flute making, performances and music. His growing discography
of traditional music, rock and roll, and spoken word are said to present a contemporary view of American Indian life that is unequaled. Also skilled in theatrical performance, Mirabal portrayed Tony J. Lujan, the famed husband of Mable Dodge Lujan, in the movie
Georgia O’Keeffe, a retrospective about artist Georgia O’Keeffe starring threetime Academy Award nominee Joan Allen. In August 2012, Mirabal premiered Po’Pay Speaks in Santa Fe, his one-man show about a leader of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680, now touring internation-
ally. According to Billboard, Mirabal is “…an incredibly gifted writer, vocalist, musician, dancer and storyteller … a world music triumph … an artist for all seasons and all cultures.” View select videos of Robert Mirabal at http://www.mirabalnativeflutes.com/press-presenters/promotional-video.

What’s a responsible pet owner?
Taking care of your four-legged family members We who have fourlegged family members will all most likely agree that a responsible pet owner must provide the basics of food, water, shelter and a safe environment. We all would likely agree as well that a proper diet and the health recommendations of your family veterinarian would be involved, and of course lots of love! But what about the other, less tangible needs of our pets? Being a responsible pet owner requires so much more than simply spaying and neutering and providing food and water for your pet. Years of public relations campaigns have convinced most of us that spaying and neutering is important – and yes it is – in preventing unwanted animals in shelters, and that justly applies to our Four Corners shelter efforts. But the fact is, despite the efforts and incentives to spay and neuter, millions of animals every year
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson are surrendered or re-surrendered to shelters, and many of them die there. What else can be done to reduce shelter population and save more animals and further enrich the lives of pets and humans alike? Let’s go back to those other intangibles of being a responsible pet owner, particularly one very often overlooked. Responsible pet care starts with good choices and preparation, realistic expectations and an ongoing commitment to meet your pet’s mental, grooming, health and, especially, behavioral aspects. Being aware of these needs, and meeting them, will lead down the road of happy pet companionship and lessen the likelihood of abandon-
ment to the shelter later. The National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy spent one year in 12 selected cities across the USA to find out why owners gave up a pet. Of the 2,000 dogs sent to shelters, 45 percent of the owners cited a behavioral issue as the reason for relinquishment. For the 1,400 cats, human and personal issues (allergies, no time for pet, new baby, etc.,) were reasons. According to the study, 50 percent of dogs were between age 5 months to 3 years and, get this, 96 percent had received zero obedience training! Equally disturbing is that a third of these dogs and one-half of the cats had never been to a veterinarian for preventive health care and educa-
tional experiences. What can be learned from this? And yes, we must learn! First, understand the needs of the particular pet breed you want and select and match that to the reality of your home situation with its time constraints and economics. Next, be careful about adopting a “free” pet. While the pet itself may be free, there will be ongoing daily expenses and unexpected expenses. These include the previously discussed “good” diet, health care, parasite prevention and grooming, and I challenge you to consider the added responsibility of allotting some family resources of time and money for proper obedience training! Behavior training and spending time with your pet is often ignored. Which dog is happier and healthier, the one that has a safe fenced backyard and daily interaction with its family, or the one that is chained up and forgotten because it jumps on
the children or urinates in the house? The old adage that a tired dog is a good dog holds true. Good dogs don’t become so by accident. The same can be said for cats! Finally, pet owners should always be prepared for some sort of animal emergency. Traumatic injuries and serious illnesses are common occurrences and, sadly, many owners will either surrender the pet to a shelter or euthanize this beloved family member simply because of the cost. Plan for these emergencies and major illnesses in advance with a pet health savings plan or a well-researched pet insurance policy. People who use their pet health insurance policy say they could not live without it. Such policies will oftentimes save the life of your best friend. We in San Juan County face a challenge with our pet overpopulation problem. It will take a community team effort from the San Juan County vet-
erinarians, the animal advocate groups, the county and Farmington shelters and municipalities, the Navajo Nation and yes, each individual who has or is planning to add a companion pet to your family. Let’s all work together to support and educate each other and develop a culture of responsible pet ownership – and please include timely behavioral training. Many times I have heard pet owners say, “My pets are like my children.” Who can argue with that? If you spend time with and discipline your children, do the same for your four-legged “children.” Let’s all make sure we do everything to insure each pet’s success in our family. Your veterinarian is a perfect and willing source for advice on health and behavioral topics! The whole veterinary team wants to see your family stay together, including all fourlegged members.

Tabled indefinitely
County Land Use Code put on backburner for now LAUREN SEIP Tri-City Tribune A proposed code that would create zoning regulations within San Juan County was tabled indefinitely by the San Juan County Commission at the Nov. 5 regular meeting. Commissioner Jack Fortner moved to table the Land Use Development Code and Commissioner Margaret McDaniel seconded the motion. Because the Commission unanimously approved to table the code, it can only be reconsidered by a majority vote. “No one from the business community was coming forth and saying we think this is a great idea. Even the people who weren’t resisting (the code) were cautiously optimistic, saying this could work but needs more tinkering,” Fortner explained. “I thought we should put a stop to it and my constituents agreed. I felt it was the right thing to do.” Originally, Commissioners agreed to vote on the code during the Dec. 3 regular meeting. But because county staff wanted to gather more public input on the code, County Op-
erations Officer Mike Stark suggested Commissioners revisit the code during the April 1, 2014, meeting. This may not happen, however, since Commissioners voted to table the code indefinitely. The land use code would create zoning regulations within the county, excluding the municipalities and tribal land. Under this code, the unincorporated areas within the county would be divided into several land use districts: residential neighborhood protection, industrial, commercial highway, and multiple-use. These districts identify where future commercial businesses, agricultural businesses, and homes can be built. The code would impose restrictions on businesses coming into the community as well as on builders building homes, Fortner explained. “The last thing we need to do during these economic times is discourage businesses from coming in or builders from building.” Lucy Blackwell from Flora Vista said while she didn’t agree with some sections in the land use code, she had hoped the Commission would pass the ordinance that pro-
hibits businesses with dust output from moving next to residences. Blackwell lives next to a sand blasting business and the dust has forced her to stay inside her trailer home and has affected the health of her horses. “I wish something can be passed on” the ordinance that addresses “businesses affecting other people’s lives. I hope you take that into consideration,” she said at the County Commission meeting. County CEO Kim Carpenter said the Commission has not “fully closed” the door on the land use code. “There are parts that have good strength that are an absolute must. The subdivision regulations have to be addressed because of state laws,” Carpenter explained. Because the code has been tabled indefinitely, Carpenter said instead of the Commission voting on the more than 150page land use code, they could vote on separate ordinances that address specific issues such as adult entertainment stores near churches or residences and noise pollution from businesses.
“By no means is all of the work put into this done in vain,” Carpenter said. “We have valuable information that we will continue to provide” to the Commission. The county has worked with the consulting company Duncan Associates Sites Southwest in creating the Land Use Development Code. Since this process began, the county has held more than 60 public meeting regarding zoning and growth management. During these public meetings citizens have voiced their concerns on the land use code, saying their land uses could change if the zoning regulations are implemented. “There are things in (the code) that don’t need to be there. They are taking away our property rights,” said Ron Lyman, a La Plata resident. Instead of voting on the entire code, Lyman said he thinks it should be narrowed down to specific issues. “If they want to pass an ordinance it should be on a specific item and it should be by public rule,” he explained. “I don’t think the county would keep it if the public says they don’t want it.
That’s why I say these should be individual issues.” But while citizens feel the code could infringe on their rights, others believe it would be an economic value to the community. “When people look to relocate companies in an area, if they see that the area’s land uses are willy-nilly, then they automatically assume, whether it is true or not, that everything else in the community has the same level of disorganization,” Four Corners Economic Development CEO Ray Hagerman said. He added that a land use code also will allow businesses and homes to be clustered within the community. “If you are living in a house with something industrial next to you, you probably won’t be as happy,” he said. Fortner said in order for him to reconsider the land use code, he would “like to see land owners, home owners and businesses come forward and say we think this will be a good idea after all. If no one does that, I don’t see a reason to move forward with” the Land Use Development Code.

TRI-CITYTRIBUNE Friday, November 15, 2013 At left, Naomi Roberts, crime scene investigator with the Sheriff’s Office, talks about the two vehicle bays in the Crime Lab that are used to examine vehicles involved in crime scenes. At right, the new evidence room at the Sheriff’s Office is much larger than the previous one and stores the evidence in movable compartments.
New lab
Cutting edge facility increases communication, efficiency LAUREN SEIP Tri-City Tribune The new Crime Lab at the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office in Aztec was unveiled during a Nov. 5 ribbon cutting ceremony. The Crime Lab is part of a new 18,000-squarefoot facility adjoining the Sheriff ’s Office, which also houses training rooms and a larger evidence storage room. The total cost of the new addition is approximately $5.6 million. “We truly are looking forward to this from a county perspective, to make things better and more efficient for those out on the streets and doing investigations,” County CEO Kim Carpenter said. “This is really a cutting edge facility.” The new two-story facility also houses the detective unit. Seven years ago, due to lack of space in the Sheriff ’s Office, the detectives moved to the vacant Rio Vista Middle School in Bloomfield. “Now they are back here and this will help increase communications among patrol and staff, and will help us achieve our goal – which is reducing crime,” County Sheriff Ken Christesen said.
The renovations and new addition to the Sheriff ’s Office is part of the “Law Enforcement Complex” project, which also consisted of a new District Attorney’s Office and renovations at the Eleventh Judicial District Court in Aztec. This project was authorized in 2007. The “Law Enforcement Complex” project was funded by revenue bonds in the amount of $17 million. The county also received $690,000 in state appropriations for the construction of the crime investigative facility and $200,000 for equipping and furnishing the Sheriff ’s Office new addition. The law enforcement complex was to be built on Andrea Drive, near the county’s Adult Detention Center, but due to issues with the soil, it became cost prohibitive to build at that site. County Commissioners decided to separate the projects and build a new $6.2 million District Attorney’s Office on South Miller Avenue, which was completed last year, and to construct the new Crime Lab at the existing Sheriff ’s Office. Previously, the Crime Lab was located at an old water treatment facility in

Farmington. “By moving (the Crime Lab) here and updating it, we can do much more here and it is safer for our employees,” Christesen said. “If they need to test a piece of evidence they can walk across the hall get the evidence out of the evidence room and test it in the Crime Lab. You don’t have to drive from one place to another.” NCA Architects in Albuquerque designed the new Crime Lab to be functional and efficient for employees. In the Crime Lab, there are two vehicle bays where detectives can examine vehicles involved in crime scenes. “We can bring it in and they can process it and look for hair, fibers, and blood evidence,” Christesen explained. Across the hallway from the Crime Lab is the deputy room, where deputies can record any collected evidence and place it in the evidence lockers. On the other side of the evidence lockers is the evidence room, where the evidence can be tranfered from the lockers and
securely placed in motorized compartments. “If you ever saw the old evidence room, it was nowhere near this size,” said Thomas Montanez, superintendent for B & M Cillessen, the local company that constructed the new addition to the Sheriff ’s Office. “Most law enforcement agencies will build an evidence room and in just a matter of a few years, those fill up and become overwhelmed,” Christesen said. “We built this evidence room to last us 30 or 40 years. We want to make sure we are functional way into the future so we are not asking taxpayers for more money.” In addition to the new two-story facility at the Sheriff ’s Office, construction also consisted of remodeling the lobby area, renovating the old evidence room into a larger supply and armory area, and renovating the sergeants area into new offices for the Sheriff and Undersheriff. The exterior of the building also was upgraded. County Commission
San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen talks to guests about the new technology offered in the Crime Lab.
Chairman Scott Eckstein, who retired as a Sergeant from the Sheriff ’s Office in 2007, said since employees moved into the Sheriff ’s Office building in 2000, “The next seven
years I saw this building get smaller as the Sheriff ’s Office grew,” he said. “It has been a neat experience for me to go through the beginning and to see what we have now.”

Kirtland Early Childhood Center parents, students and staff work side by side JAMES PREMINGER District Public Relations Specialist They pulled, cut, and picked up weeds, brush, and leaves by the wheelbarrow, sending a loaded pickup truck to the dump at least four times. Parents, teachers, staff, and students turned out to lend a hand at the Kirtland Early Childhood Center’s 4th annual fall clean-up session held Oct. 19, 2013 – a Saturday. “It’s pretty much to help the school look better so I decided to come out and do that,” parent Linda Jones said. “The school does so much for our kids so why not help them?” Most of the weeds and dead brush – although mainly out of sight – had grown through the back chain-link fence, making it a chore to remove. “We do this every year,” said Melissa Christianson, a parent with the school’s Parent Advisory Committee – comprised of parents and teachers. They meet monthly to organize events – such as a fundraiser, family movie night, gingerbread activities, and barbecues. They also address any concerns. Parent Jaime Moon volunteered her time so that “the kids have a clean and enjoyable, pleasurable atmosphere to be learning in.” Moon, who has a 4year-old enrolled in the Kirtland Early Childhood Center, added, “I really like the center. The classes are small. All of the staff

Each session is 3.5 hours. The district provides school bus service. Morning session students receive breakfast and lunch; while
the afternoon session students receive lunch and an afternoon snack. There is room for additional students to be enrolled.

911 legislation
Shelly signs leasing act, vetoes NHA Improvement Act WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly signed legislation that gives the Navajo Nation Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NNTRC) authority to implement and manage a 911 emergency response system on the Navajo Nation. “I am pleased to sign this legislation. We have to give our Navajo Nation residents the opportunity to call for help in emergency situations. We have been working to create the infrastructure to enable a 911 emergency response system on the Navajo Nation. We look forward to making more progress in this area,” President Shelly said. Legislation CO-51-13, which enabled the NNTRC to implement a 911 system, was one of the pieces of legislation from the fall session of the Navajo Nation Council that was signed. President Shelly also signed a bill that updated Navajo leasing regulations and he vetoed a Navajo Housing Authority reform measure. President Shelly signed the Navajo Nation General Leasing Regulations Act of 2013, legislation CO-53-13, into law. The act streamlines current leasing approvals by establishing procedures to approve all land leases with the exception of mineral leases. “The Navajo Nation needs to create opportunities for growth. One of the ways we can do that is to streamline land lease procedures. This will
allow businesses and homes a streamlined process to have leases approved. I welcome these changes,” President Shelly said. President Shelly vetoed legislation CO-57-13, which would have updated Navajo Housing Authority board selection approvals. He vetoed the legislation stating that the language in the legislation needed to be clearer and that the Naabik'iyati' Committee doesn't have to approve assigned or appointed commissioners. President Shelly outlined his reasons for his veto in a memo to Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize.
In Section 606 and 607of the bill was “confusing and not clear” about how many commissioners would serve on the board that oversees NHA. In addition paragraphs in Section 606 and 607 restate the need to appoint a commissioner within 90 days, and since the two paragraphs state the same need, one paragraph was not necessary. Thirdly, Section 614 would have gave the Naabik'iyati' Committee to approve appointed and assigned commissioners. However, President Shelly, in his veto memo, stated this practice could infringe upon NHA's
efficiency. “The NHA, like other tribal entities, was created and delegated to carry out administrative function efficiently, without the cumbersome process of governmental bureaucracy. Requiring NHA to go through the legislative process negates the efficiency objective,” President Shelly wrote. Earlier this week, President Shelly signed legislation CO56-13 that would have reduced fees for voter-based initiatives to be place on voter ballots. Signed on Nov. 4, in his memo to Speaker Naize, President Shelly wrote the Navajo
Council should consider other referendum measures recommended by the Office of Government Development and the Commission on Navajo Government Development based from a 2012 convention. “We ask that the Navajo Nation Council reconsider the referendum measures on lowering the initiative signatures requirements; amendment laws approved by initiative/referendum; amending N.N.C. (subsection) 102,” Andrew Curley, commission vice-chairman, wrote in a letter addressed to President Shelly and Speaker Naize. President Shelly cited Curley's letter in his veto memo to Speaker Naize. “I robustly urge the Navajo Nation Council to reconsider remaining referendum measures,” President Shelly wrote. “We need to listen to our Navajo people entirely.” Other legislation signed from the fall session included the Navajo Nation Energy Policy of 2013, Navajo Transitional Energy Company operating amendments enabling the purchase agreement for Navajo Mine near Farmington, N.M., and an allocation of nearly $4.1 million to NTEC as company start up costs. “We are making progress on the Navajo Nation. We must continue to work hard for the Navajo people and ensure that the Navajo Nation is progressing toward positive changes for our people,” President Shelly said.
