Housing code in the works

‘Passions are the grapes tread out for mankind‘

City to address abandoned and unsafe properties DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune

Abandoned homes and unsafe rental properties were the topic of discussion Aug. 20 when the Farmington City Council asked staff to look into developing a housing code ordinance. The topic originally was brought up earlier this summer under the Community Development Block Grant discussions. Pamela Drake and Lynn Love, both of San Juan County Partnership, informed the city that there were unsafe rental properties within city limits. Councilor Mary Fischer took the discussion further and began researching the locations. What she discovered were low-income properties including mobile homes and motel rooms that are substandard at best.

Seven years in the making

County formalizing land use plan for unincorporated areas LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune After seven years of planning and more than 60 public meetings, San Juan County Commissioners have agreed to take the first formal step in implementing zoning regulations within the unincorporated areas of the county.

Commissioners unanimously approved the publication of notice of intent to adopt Ordinance 84, or the Land Use Development Code, during an Aug. 20 regular meeting. County Operations Officer Mike Stark said he feels these zoning regulations are not “controversial” because

“San Juan County Partnership has encountered instances of the roofs falling in, floors falling in, appliances not working. They have non-working smoke detectors and bars on the windows that don’t open, whereas residents would be trapped inside in the instance of a fire,” Fischer said of discussions she had with Love. “These motels near city hall – there are huge occupancy issues. I don’t know if anyone inspects hotels and motels for bedbugs, I think that is done in other communities.” She believes the problem is bad and could become “huge” if unaddressed. “I wouldn’t think it would be kosher to have bars on windows that don’t open with only one exit,” she said, asking if the city’s fire marshal inspects motels and other public places to see if they are up to code.

2 phases, 5 years

Council debates Foothills widening timeline DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune A project to widen all of Foothills Drive will be done in two phases and might not be completed for five years. Councilor Jason Sandel asked the Farmington City Council to reconsider a staff proposal to design the roadway from Holmes to Lakewood, and then wait a year before designing the rest of the road. “I don’t do procurement and I don’t do

streets, but I do representing for constituents. If there is someone who lives on Jackrabbit – how is their input going to tie into the traffic plan from Holmes to Lakewood?” Sandel asked, saying he is concerned that Foothills residents might not be included in the discussion about how their street will look. “There are a lot of people really nervous about all of this and that their voices are not going to be heard.”

Free pre-K

State grant helps Tedrow’s private childcare provide services start it, after participating in the program.” A Gold Star Academy first received funding for pre-K services eight years ago, one year after former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson decided to start the free pre-K program with a $1 million grant shared between CYFD and the Public Education Department. Since that time only 20 percent of New Mexico’s 4-year-old children have had access to the service, and this year the state pumped $29.9 million into the program statewide. “Eighty percent of a child’s brain is developed by 4 years old,” Tedrow said. “He wanted to put the processes in place to set a child up for success.” Tedrow has been offering the free pre-K program every year since, because she receives state funding

DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune A local child care business is on tap to provide 280 local children with free pre-Kindergarten classes this school year. Barbara Luna Tedrow’s two child care facilities – A Gold Star Academy and Smiling Faces Child Care, received grant funding from the Children, Youth and Families Department, CYFD, to bring pre-K classes to children in Farmington. She also has been given the go ahead to open a new facility that should be approved by the Aztec City Commission during an Aug. 26 meeting. “We’re one of the biggest private centers in the state,” said Kim Grider, an assistant to Tedrow. “You’re child will be ready for school, when they

zoning the code will not affect existing businesses and homes, and citizens had the opportunity to voice their opinions at the public meetings. “We feel we covered the basis of citizen input but we will have another hearing to do that again,” Stark said. Citizens may attend another public meeting on Sept. 11 at the County Commission Chambers in Aztec. The open house will begin at 5 p.m., where the public can ask questions regarding the code, and then the public meeting will begin at 6 p.m. “This is another opportunity to be able to have and hear many concerns or questions that the public

may have,” County CEO Kim Carpenter added. There is a need for these zoning regulations because of the high growth in the unincorporated areas, Stark said. “Those areas need predictability.” Fifteen years ago, the county attempted to pass zoning regulations. It failed, however, due to lack of population in the unincorporated areas, he added. One benefit from zoning regulations is to enhance the county’s economic development, said Larry Hathaway, General Services and Community Development administrator for the county. New businesses which move to the

area need the “assurance that there is organization” within the unincorporated areas, which does not include municipalities or the Navajo Nation, he explained. “We also will know where businesses are located in the county, which would be a safety and health benefit,” Hathaway added. The Land Use Development Code’s purpose is to “prevent the overcrowding of land” and “preserve and improve the character of development in the County and its neighborhoods,” according to the code. Under this code, the unincorporated areas

would be divided into several land use districts: residential neighborhood protection, commercial highway, and multiple-use. These districts identify where future commercial businesses, agricultural businesses, and homes can be built. There is an industrial district, but that area involves only the San Juan County Industrial Park. Stark pointed out existing businesses and homes will not be affected by the Land Use Development Code. For example, adult entertainment stores would be allowed to develop only in the multiple use and industrial districts. However,

Something Sexy, located on U.S. Hwy 64 would not be affected by the code because it would be grandfathered in under existing rules and regulations. Even though existing homes and businesses will not be affected, citizens still have the opportunity to voice their concerns during the Sept. 11 public meeting. There, county maps with the land use proposals will be available for viewing. Commissioner Margaret McDaniel said it is important for the public to attend these meetings because “We want to do what is best for the entire county.” After the public meeting, any changes to the maps

will be made before the County Commission votes, during an Oct. 11 regular meeting, whether or not to approve the Land Use Development Code. If approved, the code will go into effect on that day. There will, however, be a 90-day period for citizens to petition changes to their land use. “This is another way to show the Commission is trying to not adopt this with a heavy handed approach,” Stark said. “We are trying to be as accommodating and flexible as possible.” To view the Land Use Development Code, visit the county website at www.sjcounty.net.

Opt for a little coffee and conversation I’ll admit it I am joined at the hip with all my tech gadgets. I am in awe of all the great things the technological age has given us. Our access to information has increased exponentially as has our productivity. But there is always a ying to every yang. I can’t help thinking about all the things that are falling by the wayside. Many scholars and psychologists have begun looking at the effect technology is having on communication. They point out a door has opened for our lives to become over-saturated with commercialism. Many feel intelligent conversation and debate is being replaced with meaningless nonsense and hardheadedness. They point to the number of lackadaisical people with short attention spans who ignore what is really important in life. My concern is the lack of actual conversation and free flow of ideas. Email and texts, while convenient and time saving, also smother transparent discussion. Most notable in the business environment, quick tweets, texts and emails have

turned many into insecurity monsters. Employees, ladder climbers and managers use it as a way to “look out for number one,” point fingers or tell someone what they think of them and their abilities without having to speak to them in person. This leads to fear, even more finger pointing, then more fear and even less real communication. All this results in an unhealthy work environment. It cuts out the social interaction and makes it easy for people hide behind words and take the cowardly way out. Trust between fellow employees and trust in managers is brought to a screeching halt. We all perceive things differently and the only real method of connection for human beings is a one-onone conversation. When you get an email or a text in all caps does it always have to mean someone is yelling at you? Does a smiley face mean you agree? Does a one-word answer mean the person is angry? Studies show that only seven percent of communication is based on the written or verbal word. A whopping 93 percent is based on non-

FROM THE EDITOR verbal body language. Anyone can hide behind the text, an email, a Facebook post or a tweet, projecting any image they want and creating an illusion, if they choose. Without the ability to receive nonverbal cues, their audiences are none the wiser. Assumptions are being made from terrifyingly little bits of information. Sometimes when I get emails I can just feel the fear and anger oozing forth. It is crazy the ease with which people can blame others or be downright rude in an email. After all, there is no pain and no consequences. Blame is an easy way to dump pain and discomfort. Accountability requires a difficult and respectful conversation that lingers, whereas blame fizzles for the person as soon as he or she pushes the send button. One thing I know about myself is that at the speed of light I can drop into judgment and blame mode. I’m a pretty fast typist so I can

Cindy Cowan Thiele

bang out a judgmental mean and sarcastic response in the blink of an eye. But, the older I get, the easier it is to stop, reread what I typed while in a moment of white hot fury, and either tone it down or delete the email before pushing send. Sometimes I just need to get my aggressions out of my body and I’m more mindful now of practicing the “do unto others ” credo. So, I wait, think about how important it is to respond, all while repeatedly telling myself it is better to be kind than to be right. Not often enough do I pick up the phone and call the person on the other end of the text or email. This excess of communication and high-speed technology also has led to a deluge of 24-hour news. While it has always been easy to just blame the media for society’s woes, these days it has become an Olympic sport. Some of it I understand.

Even with the amount of news that is available these days, there are times when there are too few stories and too much time to fill. Mindless nonsense is what is turned out to try to match the millions of media competitors. Many times this rush to be first ends with incomplete, incorrect and just plain silly information. It is all too easy to call the media mean, uncaring or uninformed. This is especially evident for us when we cover issues or broach subjects that many wish we would ignore. And, unfortunately, opinions with which they disagree. Dun dun duh. (insert dramatic sound effect here) I have gotten some emails that would blow your mind. In a society filled with fear, differing opinions are, theoretically, not supposed to exist. Fear makes debate obsolete and “because I said so,” becomes the final word. When news is your business you develop a tough skin and many times have to remind people that you are doing a job and it’s not personal. Technology is here to stay and texting, email and tweets aren’t going anywhere. The same psychologists and schol-

ars who bemoan the downside of these forms of communication know it is pointless to recommend avoiding them entirely. You may think that once you send that sarcastic or angry message it is off your plate and you have avoided the pain, taken care of the uncomfortable conversation or stopped your fear. You have, after all, made your point abundantly clear and explained what you expect – and it is over. That could not be further from the truth. All those feelings that you are happy you avoided are the point. Conversation can be messy, but out of it comes understanding, compassion and resolution with another human being. Without it we are all out here hiding in plain sight and soon we won’t have any idea how to have a conversation. Maybe the next time you experience an issue via email or receive an angry text, ask yourself if it is something that would be better dealt with by a real conversation. Then have the courage and the compassion to stop emailing and pick up the phone. Better yet, take them to coffee or to lunch.

Restoring liberties, rebuilding trust in government The attacks on Americans’ freedoms began slowly to be rebuffed last week – not on a foreign battlefield, but in changes of government policy. A federal court ruling and two course corrections by the Obama administration narrow the criteria for when Americans can be spied on or otherwise treated as suspects, and how long someone has to be punished for committing certain nonviolent crimes. Together, the actions should start restoring liberties nibbled away at in the bid to catch criminals – foreign and domestic – and rebuilding trust in government transparency. Concerns over domestic spying on U.S. citizens recently resurfaced after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, now hiding in Russia, disclosed the government could

REKHA BASU SCRIPTS HOWARD be collecting records of virtually all the cellphone calls and Internet communications of ordinary Americans. The steps announced by President Barack Obama to modify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act won’t stop surveillance, but they will let the public in on the government’s legal justifications for it. There will be an independent review panel; reforms to sections of the Patriot Act are promised. Obama has also acknowledged flaws in how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court operates. In announcing the changes, the president would-

n’t credit whistleblower Snowden. But Snowden’s disclosures generated a fresh wave of justifiable concern about intrusions into Americans’ privacy, beginning when former President George W. Bush signed the Patriot Act into law. Another victory for individual rights came with a federal judge’s ruling against the New York City Police Department’s “stop-and-frisk” program. U.S. District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, declaring that officers routinely stop blacks and Hispanics “who would not have been stopped if they were white,” called it a “policy of indirect racial

profiling” and said it violates minority rights. Of the nearly 700,000 police stops made last year, an estimated 85 percent were African-American or Hispanic. Also of concern to the judge was a statement by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly that 70 to 75 percent of the people committing violent crimes are African-American. The judge didn’t call for an end to the practice, but asked a federal monitor to oversee compliance with the Constitution. Police officers in at least five precincts will be required to wear cameras so encounters can be reviewed. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who credits the policy with lowering the crime rate, plans to appeal. But New York City Police Department statistics, revealed on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,”

that of 4.4 million stops made between 2004 and 2012, 88 percent resulted in no further law enforcement action. All but 10 percent of the stops were of AfricanAmericans or Hispanics. The ruling underscores the need for a justice system that protects the rights of the vulnerable against the excesses of the powerful. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder took a different stab at reforming one of last century’s most counterproductive criminal justice policies in announcing that the Justice Department will no longer pursue mandatory minimum sentences for certain lowlevel, nonviolent federal drug crimes and that federal prosecutors will have more discretion in charging people. Under federal sentencing guidelines passed in the 1980s, drug felons must

serve at least 85 percent of their sentences and are not eligible for parole. With two prior convictions, the sentence can become life. Holder’s move will save money, shrink the prison population and prevent the system from gobbling up more nonviolent addicts. These three reconsiderations, while not radical reforms, are small, incremental steps toward a more just society and ones that better balance the rights of individuals with the necessary goals of preventing crime and further terrorist attacks. And fighting foreign wars in the name of defending American freedoms will be for naught unless we also defend them at home. Contact Rekha Basu at rbasu@dmreg.com.

properties “I have no desire for us to come in like storm troopers to straighten up all of the rental housing in Farmington, but if there are instances where people’s health and safety are being compromised I would like to see that cleaned up,” Fischer said. In previous meetings, City Manager Rob Mayes stated that the New Mexico Health Department handled these types of complaints. He even said the city “might be surprised” at just how much the Health Department does. The Health Department, however, has nothing to do with inspecting properties. The New Mexico Environment Department would be the entity tasked with doing inspections, but its jurisdiction only covers swimming pools and restaurants. Mayor Tommy Roberts wanted to know if there is

a state law that would give renters a way to combat abusive landlords that do not care for their properties. “One of the things that comes to mind is not local, but landlord tenant law – what issues does it address? Issues of rent or repair? Does it give tenants a redress?” Roberts asked “There is a procedure for a tenant to bring action against a landlord for things such as appliances not working,” City Attorney Jay Burnham said, adding it would probably be under the jurisdiction of the courts. “We need more information on the scope of the landlord-tenant law in New Mexico,” Roberts said. “We need to identify the scope of the problem.” The mayor also asked whether there could be “unintended consequences” if the city involved itself in a housing ordinance. “Would

city staff about the city’s authority to clean it up. “The response back was the extent of the city’s authority is we can tell them to clean up the weeds in the front yard,” Sandel said. Councilor Dan Darnell said he did not believe that, because he had worked with the city on a property that was in receivership. “I know that we have some ability and some capacity. I worked with city attorney’s office and code compliance on a home on Hubbard,” he said, adding it was a difficult process. “It took us a long time, and we had multiple people who wanted to come in and rehab the house. I know we have a process and I don’t know if it needs to be streamlined somewhat. Sandel said he received an email from Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell that said the city code compliance officer would send a letter to the homeowner and tell them to clean up the yard. “The owner died, the spouse went bankrupt.

We’re stuck as a community with this problem, and we don’t have any authority other than to tell someone to clean up the weeds,” Sandel said. “I’m sitting back trying to represent people, saying that this situation should not exist in our community.” He also spoke about a home on Sycamore Street that also was abandoned two years ago and had no known owner. The home was vacant and secured by nails when it started on fire on Aug. 13 and was destroyed. “I think we should be concerned about this happening in our community. We need to begin the process of developing a housing ordinance to empower the community and our staff to fix some of these wrongs,” Sandel said. Councilor Gayla McCulloch said that it might sound good on the surface to write an ordinance, but she is worried the ordinance might be too complicated. “I am sympathetic to all of that. A city in Texas has this great code – it starts

out good and then it’s a 60-page code,” McCulloch said. “I see it opening up this huge (issue) answering all of the what ifs. I’m afraid it will grow on to what we can afford to enforce.” Darnell agreed, saying he didn’t want to “create another layer of bureaucracy,” while Roberts said he wasn’t sure of the problem. “I don’t understand the scope of the problem,” Roberts said. “Consideration of a housing code ordinance is a big project. I think we really have to have a good understanding of the concept we want to have in place. Does it accomplish what we need it to accomplish? I think it’s worth taking some time to get feedback on these points that have been raised.” Mayes said he needed at least one month to have staff further research the issue. “I think we could put together a pretty comprehensive staff report that could become the basis for our next step forward.”

Street in the heart of Downtown Farmington, and she received the non-profit status. The other institutions offering free pre-K are Presbyterian Medical Services and the Farmington School District, but Tedrow wanted to provide parental choice – “where some children can come and have a wraparound service” that caters to a working parent, because it offers all-day care. She currently has 140 children enrolled at both Farmington locations, which provide room for 140 children at A Gold Star Academy and 80 children at Smiling Faces. With the addition of the Aztec facility, slated to open in the Westside Plaza, she will be able to offer 60 more children a place to learn. If the Aztec City Commission approves the zoning

change for the facility, Tedrow said she can sign up the 60 children and be ready to provide them instruction beginning Sept. 3. In addition to the Aztec services, Tedrow said CYFD gave her funds to bus children to her centers. The buses would run to and from the Troy King Road area and the Animas Elementary School District. Every child also receives a free lunch. She believes the state support has come her way because the community has backed her programs. “It’s taken us years to build it, and CYFD feels if they give us the investment, Farmington will support what we need to do,” Tedrow said. Grider added that she was surprised by the community support when she

moved here from Las Cruces earlier this year. “I have been more impressed by what the business community has done to help Barb – and by the people who reach out and donate equipment,” she said. “We’ve got a town and a collaboration you don’t see anywhere else,” Tedrow said. “Farmington believes in its children.” In addition to the pre-K program, Tedrow plans to expand her non-profit to provide services that offer a full-fledged child development program, which also includes child care, home visits, counseling for families and children and developmental services to children with special needs.

the acts of the city of Farmington have the consequence of rental increases? I would need to have more information about costs associated with implementation and enforcement. I don’t perceive this as we grant permission to staff to start drafting an ordinance,” he said. Fischer asked if the staff could also consider foreclosed upon or abandoned property with regards to powers of condemnation. She had a particular interest in homes where methamphetamine labs may have existed or in properties that are deemed unsafe. Councilor Jason Sandel mentioned homes that could be considered unsafe – one in North Foothills and the second on Sycamore Street. The Foothills home has a foundation that is cracked and is uninhabitable, windows shot out, and front door that is left open. The neighbors complained that criminal activity might be going on inside the home, so Sandel looked at the city code and spoke with

Cowboy Coffee I am married to a Starbucks fiend (sounds better than user or addict). Any trip to town includes a quad vente latte four shots no foam. It is more important than the mail, the heart medicine, the bank deposit or pickin’ up the kids at day care!

vor of its own. It’s not for everybody but I do think it has driven fanatic users to more serious addictions like five-hour energy drinks, Tabasco popsicles and cigars made of burning rubber! I was in a strange town on a Starbucks mission last week trying to remember if it were a Grande Uno Caffe Misto Leonardo

or a dolce capasso nu latto Divinchi? The barista (the special name for Starbucks waiters that was derived from the character playing the one-eyed mushroom wearing scuba gear in the bar scene from Star Wars IV) took my order. He said he didn’t know cowboys drank Starbucks. I said, “We invented it!” As I explained it to him,

sign on one phase you will come back and grow that design,” he pointed out. “That is perfect argument as to why we need to look at the entire design of the street,” Sandel said. “Yes, you can make that point,” City Manager Rob Mayes said. “Rather than putting money in the design, we put the money into brick and mortar and got the road built. These are huge dollar projects. That’s why they are done in phases.” Mayes added that the Metropolitan Planning Organization has completed a roads plan for the city and Foothills was included in that plan. Sandel wanted to have a “very clear idea of what Foothills would look like in 20 years,” for the residents, “and getting to look at 1700 feet is not going to give them a clear picture,” he said. “I think the Metropolitan Planning Organization can be invaluable in providing information about this,” Darnell said. “We’ve got complete streets and this would be a great opportunity to put that idea into the design. That would be piece of it, so we are not just looking at 1700 linear feet.” Councilor Mary Fischer said the entire project seemed to be “backward.” “It seems we should have an overall plan of what this should look like before having a complete plan,” Fischer said. “This is not a good way to approach the neighborhood without knowing what they want or need. If we could find the path of least damage – I really have concerns that we are going to have more than one company design it.” Mayes said there is a big difference between a

conceptual plan and engineering. “The characterization that staff has screwed this up, is not fair. … The neighbors have been involved. This is now how roads are built. It’s not that we have done it backwards. It isn’t that this has been screwed up by staff. We’re right back where we started.” Sandel stated that he just wants to ensure the community is involved in the process, because there was not a lot of input on the development of Hood Mesa Trail. “We moved forward with Hood Mesa Trail without going to engineering. I remember in building Hood Mesa Trail, there was a lot of consternation with it. … I didn’t take the concept and take it back to the public and say ‘How do we want this to be inside of our community?’” he said. “This is a great opportunity for us to take in a large stretch of road (Foothills Drive) and keep the community feel. We have to take a large step forward without going back to the community. I

it became clear to me! I ask you all, you cowboys, hunters, soldiers, Indians, fishermen, prospectors, explorers – all of you who have roasted squirrel, carp, possum, haunch of wild burro, buzzard drum sticks or spotted owl over a campfire in the wilderness – what did you wash it down with? That’s right, cowboy coffee! A handful of coffee grounds (any brand) in an old pot, put on the open fire and set on boil is the recipe supreme! The pot itself is sacred and never

washed. It is this accumulation of ingredients that gives cowboy coffee its unique flavor. It is seasoned by the remnants of whatever falls into the pot and becomes part of the geological strata that comprise its lining. It is not unlike a good pipe whose bowl gets layered with carcinogenic ash, or the wax that builds in your ears, or the plaque that barnacles an ol’ dog’s teeth. Starbucks proudly touts its flavor, but if you really crave a strong, rank, acidic,

caffeine stimulant, one that can also peel the paint off a backhoe bucket, penetrate zirconium nuclear fuel rods, and destroy the odor in your son’s tennis shoes, have an old cowboy make you a cuppa in his blackened pot. You will discover Starbucks’ secret. A WORD OF CAUTION: If you can’t strain your cowboy coffee through two-inch tengauge expanded metal, at least drop a magnet into the cup before you sip.

don’t know if it was ever talked about in phases to the public.” Sandel asked for a specified plan from the city manager’s office describing how the city would

go to the public and get input. “It’s an excellent opportunity for us as a community to move something forward and do something different,” Sandel said.

The Council agreed to move the project forward along with a plan to seek comments from the public on how the roadway should look when it is completed.

www.baxterblack.com

Foothills The majority of the Council did not agree with Sandel’s proposal to complete the project all at once, so the Council voted Aug. 20 to award the engineering contract to a local business and proceed with the project in phases. At issue was the fact that city staff issued a request for proposal for only a portion of Foothills Drive, and Souder Miller, a local company, came back with the lowest bid. If the city went back out to bid for a complete Foothills design, Souder Miller might miss out on the work, and Mayor Tommy Roberts and Councilor Dan Darnell did not want that to happen. “There is a concern, if we go through a second process, Souder Miller would be disadvantaged,” Roberts said during the meeting. “The compelling arguments for me, is we have started a process under the phasing process, and the Council would like to preserve that relationship (with Souder Miller) because we like to do business with local firms.” Sandel said he wants a complete plan and he questioned the feasibility of doing projects in phases. “My point is I would like for there to be a comprehensive plan for Foothills. If we need to pull all the way back, then let’s pull all the way back – have a bike plan and a walking plan and a safe place for our community. I just want it done,” he said Public Works Director Jeff Smaka stated that Piñon Hills Boulevard was done in multiple phases. “We built Piñon Hills Boulevard in phases and it was widened in phases, also.

Instead of stringing Christmas lights in winter, she has to run heaters out to the troughs to keep water from freezing, Coburn said, adding that making sure upwards of three dozen horses have 15 gallons of water each day is quite a task. It also is one for which she was happy to receive help from volunteers and an area horseman who decided to raise money for an automatic watering system. Jeff Rendall investigated an automatic watering system for his two horses and found one that worked well. He decided to raise funds and purchase 10 units to be installed at the Equine Rescue. Rendall began the process eight months ago by writing letters to local

businesses and pleading for help. “I thought there’s got to be a better way than using troughs and garden hoses to water these horses,” Rendall said. He needed to raise $7,000 and did so with the help of a $6,000 grant from ConocoPhillips and

more than $1,000 in donations from other “much appreciated” sponsors, Rendall said. The 10 units were purchased and he, along with Terry Coburn, Debbie’s husband, began installing the systems on Aug. 9.

The system goes more than four feet deep into the ground and forces the water to the surface through a pressure system. It is operated by the horse pushing on a valve with its nose, and one of the best parts about the system is that it doesn’t freeze. By Sunday, Aug. 11, one

system was fully operational, and Debbie Coburn was thankful for that. She said this would free up time for volunteers to have oneon-one contact with the horses. “Most of these horses are here because someone abused or neglected them,” Coburn said. Volunteers with a gentle hand and a heart for animals can show these horses that not all people are bad. “There are just those (bad) people – that is the sad fact – so there has to be responsible people to step up and help.” Coburn started Four Corners Equine Rescue in 2004 in Aztec, but she worked in horse rescue before that. She started working for a non-profit organization that took foals off of the “pee line,” Coburn said. The “pee line” is the name for pharmaceutical companies that use the urine

from pregnant mares to make estrogen replacement products for women. At one time there were 50,000 mares working the “pee line,” and that meant there would be homes for 50,000 unwanted foals. The numbers have decreased to about 10,000 mares per year, and Coburn has turned her focus to local horses in need. She acquired a license from the New Mexico Livestock Board to become one of eight registered horse rescues in the state. In 2012 she took in 59 horses, with 38 of them coming from law enforcement. This year there are 23 horses and 17 came from law enforcement. Coburn is used to receiving those calls from the authorities. “The phone rings and law enforcement says, ‘I have a skinny horse, and the owner is willing

One Book, One Community

SJC screens Navajo uranium mining documentary The One Book, One Community Committee and the San Juan College Library will host a viewing of Yellow Fever: Uncovering the Navajo Uranium Legacy, a documentary about Uranium mining on the Navajo Nation. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. on Aug. 29 in the Little Theatre on the San Juan College Farmington Campus. The film will be shown in conjunction with the new One Book,

One Community selection of Yellowcake by Ann Cummins. Yellow Fever follows Tina Garnanez, a young Navajo veteran, on her journey to investigate the history of the Navajo Uranium Boom, its lasting impacts in her area and the potential new mining in her region of Arizona. The film addresses the health issues uranium miners continue to face and the fight for justice and compensation for

struggling victims of the Navajo uranium boom. Garnanez examines the pros and cons of nuclear power, its reliance on uranium and its environmental impact, before re-examining her own views on nuclear power as the answer to global warming. Yellowcake by Ann Cummins was chosen by the One Book, One Community Committee as the 2013-2014 selection. Yellowcake follows the fictional

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. Other events for the One Book, One Community selection include an author appearance by Ann Cummins on Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, and a panel discussion on Nov. 21. More about these events will be available as the dates approach. For more information about One Book events, contact Traci HalesVass at 505.566.3950.

Coburn said. In the meantime, Rendall is helping the Coburns with other fundraising activities. There will be an open house in October at the Rescue, and there will be a Ride and Hike on Nov. 2 in Pilares Canyon near Aztec.

“People can either ride their horse or hike, and there will be a barbecue after their morning excursion,” Coburn said. The money raised will help keep the Rescue going, but funds and volunteers always are needed.

“I would dearly love to work myself out of this non-paying job,” said Coburn, who knows that will not happen anytime soon. For more information about Four Corners Equine Rescue call 505.334.7220.

horses to surrender it,’” she said. Four Corners Equine Rescue takes in the horse, holds it and rehabilitates it. She also tries to find appropriate homes for the animals, but that can be difficult. “It’s not until the end of the rehabilitation that you find out their personality, so training is the biggest obstacle to finding them homes,” Coburn said. She works with horse trainer DeLaws Lindsay, of Bloomfield. “It’s mesmerizing to watch him work with a horse,” Terry Coburn said. This process is difficult when the horse doesn’t trust

humans. Many of the horses have been neglected, starved, abused and thrown away. Some might even have been a family horse that got too old, and the owner will call Coburn instead of caring for a senior citizen horse or euthanizing the animal. “We are living in a disposable society,” she said. “I tell people, ‘This is a horse, not a dirty diaper. This is a living, breathing, sentient being.’” Coburn has become vocal on both the local and state level trying to change this attitude. She has pushed for horse registration to put an end to “stray horses,” because

other countries register their horses through the government. Coburn also has spoken out against slaughtering horses in New Mexico. “There is no humane way to slaughter a horse,” she said. The legislature did listen to her in 2013 when she managed to work with a statewide organization to have a donation box for horse rescues passed through the legislature and put on the 2014 New Mexico State tax return forms. The money will be administered through the Livestock Board, and “It will only be for licensed rescues,”

Motion sickness

Conditioning and treatment can help ease symptoms A car ride! A car ride! A car ride! For most dogs it’s the greatest thing since the cookie. But a dog can get motion sickness just as people do, which can mean that even a short car trip becomes stressful for the dog – and disgusting for the owner. Fortunately, there are ways to ease or eliminate a dog’s motion sickness, including conditioning and medication. Motion sickness is much more common in puppies and young dogs than in older dogs, presumably because the ear structures used for balance aren’t fully developed in puppies. If the first few car rides of a dog’s life result in nausea, the dog may begin to equate travel with uncomfortable sensations, even after his or her balance system fully matures. Therefore, a dog who suffers motion sickness should be treated as soon as possible. Stress can also add to motion sickness; if a dog rides in a car only to go to the veterinarian, the negative sensations associated with travel can be more pronounced. If a dog continues to appear ill even after several car rides, the owner should consult a veterinarian about treatment for motion sickness.

PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson Signs and Identification Not all motion sickness manifests as vomiting. Signs of motion sickness in dogs include: • Inactivity • Listlessness • Uneasiness • Yawning or panting • Whining • Excessive drooling • Vomiting (even on an empty stomach) • Fear of cars If a dog develops a secondary fear of riding in cars, a veterinarian or veterinary behaviorist can help determine whether the cause is motion sickness or something else, such as an orthopedic condition or anxiety unrelated to motion sickness. Affected breeds All breeds of dogs seem equally susceptible to motion sickness. Treatment To help the owner prevent or treat motion sickness in dogs, veterinarians often recommend one or more of the following ap-

proaches: • Help your dog face forward while traveling by strapping him or her into the seat with a specially designed canine seatbelt. • If you buckle your dog into the front passenger seat, position the seat as far as possible from the dashboard or disable the passenger air bag, which can be hazardous to dogs. • Lower car windows a few inches to equalize the inside and outside air pressures. • Keep the vehicle cool. • Limit your dog’s food and water consumption before travel. • Give your dog a treat or two every time he or she gets into the car. • Give your dog a toy that he or she enjoys and can have only in the car. • Give your dog a one- to two-week break from car rides. • Use a different vehicle to avoid triggering your dog’s negativity response to your usual vehicle. • Take short car rides to places a dog enjoys, such as the park – especially if

your dog associates car rides only with trips to the veterinarian’s office. Gradually build up a dog’s tolerance to car rides. The following step should take a few days to a week. 1. Accustom your dog to approaching the car without getting into it. 2. Spend time with your dog in the car with the engine off. 3. Take short trips (e.g., around the block) or visit your veterinarian on a “social visit.” 4. Take longer trips. Reward your dog with praise and/or treats every time he or she does something well.

If a dog doesn’t outgrow motion sickness or respond to conditioning techniques, consult your veterinarian about medication to help your dog. There is a medication approved for preventing vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs. It is called Cerenia. However, if anxiety or other issues are involved, additional therapies may be recommended. A good plan would be to bring your puppy/dog to your veterinarian for what we call a “social visit” or a visit with no examination or shots and just visit the staff, get a treat,

basically to associate going to the vet as getting a short car ride experience. As you cat owners are aware, they are much different than dogs. I would suggest you get a good quality cat carrier for your cat’s car travel, not only for a better experience for your cat but for safety purposes. Sensitize your cat to its carrier by putting in a treat with a towel and some catnip so your cat doesn’t just associate the carrier with a car or a trip to a vet. Cats love the feeling of hiding and the security of a carrier and ALL cats should be in one when in a car!

Farmington donates $1,000 to Fireball Run DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The Web-based television reality series and race across the country – the Fireball Run will roll into Bloomfield in September. The event will cost the city of Bloomfield approximately $12,000 and Mayor Scott Eckstein has been seeking sponsorships to offset the costs. He asked the Farmington City

They stop in several communities along the way, one of which will be Bloomfield, where they will have to spend $250 and get involved in local challenges. “There are some expenses the host city incurs,” Darnell said, adding he believes Farmington will directly benefit from the visitors to Bloomfield.

Yost enough for me to become obsessed with the game of golf – not for all the reasons that I enjoy the game now, but for the simple fact that I never wanted to be humiliated like that again in my life – in anything, I might add. My new-found obsession led me to The Camargo Club and a job carrying clubs for the wellto-do members in the richest suburb of Cincinnati. I started my first job by carrying one bag for 9 holes and graduated to carrying two bags – 1 bag on each shoulder for 18 holes the following sum-

mer when I was 12. I cannot begin to explain the experiences that were gained from the people I caddied for over a 5- year span. I would carry clubs for the most eclectic groups that someone could imagine, nice people, angry people, quiet people, extremely loud people, savvy business people and people who would starve if they had to work a day in their lives. I caddied for presidents and vice presidents of companies like Procter & Gamble; I caddied in the same group as the – now deceased – owner of the Cincinnati Bengals, Paul Brown, and

for the current owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Castellini. For an impressionable teenager, a lot of what I learned, I learned on the 6,600-yard layout that I would walk four or five times a week. As a caddy, the unwritten rule was that you kept your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut unless the member encouraged a conversation. Your job was to find your “boss’s” golf ball, clean their clubs, carry their clubs, clean up after them and fetch whatever they needed in the way of drinks or food. The funny thing is that

by listening and observing for four hours a day, I learned so many life lessons on how to conduct myself, how not to act, how to interact with others and how to pay attention to detail. I learned how to get my hands dirty and how to develop a solid work ethic. But probably the most important life lesson I learned was how to get along with others and build relationships – which is the foundation to life, in my opinion. The more I caddied, the more I would get requested by certain people – and relationships started forming. These relationships

opened doors to better caddying jobs that were more enjoyable, had better conversations and paid more handsomely. Many of the people who would request me often, I became very close to and considered them some of the mentors that molded who I have become today. These very concepts are what we try to pass along to the youth today via programs like The First Tee. It is too bad that golf courses don’t encourage more programs like caddying. Not only did it put some money in my pocket, but it taught life lessons that I still use

today and will continue to use for the duration of my life. So the next time you are going to the golf course, encourage your child to carry your clubs for you. The exercise will be beneficial to the both of you, the memories of spending time with your child will be cherished forever, it will teach them work ethic, and the lessons they learn from interacting with you and your friends will be invaluable. Just remember to tip them well, so they don’t tell you to “get lost” the next time you ask them to caddy.

district favorite until someone else can prove otherwise. Predictions: 1. Farmington 2. Piedra Vista 3. Aztec For the ladies, bench experience is a constant with all four head coaches returning. All four teams in the district made the state playoffs last year with Aztec making it to the finals and Farmington to the final four. Look for all four teams to be in the mix again making for a competitive district season. Predictions: 1. Aztec 2. Farmington 3. Piedra Vista

4. Kirtland Cross Country Last season the Piedra Vista boys finished with six runners in the top eight spots at the district meet, easily pacing them to a title. Although leader of the pack Brandon Levi has graduated, the Panthers will still be strong behind Harrison Fleming, Timberlin Henderson and a deep roster of runners. Last year’s district champion Lady Tigers should be strong again as well, with the return of the Kresl sisters, Elana and Jessica. Farmington’s numbers have improved over the past two seasons and Kirtland always

has a strong team. Boy’s Predictions: 1. Piedra Vista 2. Kirtland 3. Farmington 4. Aztec Girl’s Predictions 1. Aztec 2. Piedra Vista 3. Kirtland Central 4. Farmington Volleyball Just like Farmington boys soccer, the Lady Panthers will be the team to beat until someone else proves otherwise. The Panthers may be coming back to the pack this year losing outside hitter Olivia Johnson, middle blocker McKenna Culp and Southern Methodist signee and Player

of the Year Katie Hegarty. Piedra Vista won the UNM Summer Camp led by outside hitter Sammy Sofka and remains strong. Farmington is the most improved program in the district under second year head coach Dan Hickman, who has brought a new commitment to the Scorpions. Keeshawna Ockerman will lead the Lady Broncos while the Aztec Tigers could be the most athletic team in the district and will be nobody’s pushover. Predictions: 1. Piedra Vista 2. Farmington 3.

fishing childcare program at Navajo Ministries since its first year in the mid-1990s. A large portion of the funds raised are generated by the anglers, who gather perinch pledges for the largest fish they catch during the twoday, catch-and-release tournament. “The 2013 San Juan Bi-Fly Tournament was a great success due to the participation of all our anglers and guides. The dedication of so many to the tournament and the Four Corners Home for Children really makes the work that goes into

it a labor of love,” Tournament Director Bob Fitz said. Fitz added it was encouraging to see a large number of firsttime anglers involved in the event this year. “It is great to share their excitement as they experience the San Juan River and fly fishing for the first time,” he said. “The opportunity to raise funds for a wonderful cause by enjoying a challenging sport, and doing so on a beautiful river, makes for a great weekend.” While the fishing competition is intense for the two days,

organizers and participants realize the tournament is first and foremost a major fundraiser for the Four Corners Home for Children. The Four Corners Home for Children, located on the campus of Navajo Ministries at 2103 W. Main St., has provided a safe and loving home-like environment for hundreds of dependent children in the region since 1953. The childcare program is licensed to care for up to 28 children in three homes. The homes have been running at capacity levels all year due to

an increased demand for services. “The support generated through the Bi-Fly Tournament amazes us each year,” Navajo Ministries Vice President Eric Fisher said. “During challenging economic times for non-profit agencies like ours, the funds raised during the tournament will go a long way in helping to care for children in need. We would like to thank everyone involved with this year’s event.” Major sponsors for the BiFly included Citizens Bank, Outback Steakhouse, San Juan

Regional Medical Center and San Juan Rotary Club. In addition to the actual tournament, the annual Bi-Fly Tournament Banquet was held Aug. 17 at the Farmington Civic Center, with more than 120 in attendance. More funds were raised then through numerous raffle and auction items. Next year’s Bi-Fly event, the 20th annual tournament, is scheduled for Aug. 22-23. More information on Navajo Ministries and the Four Corners Home for Children is available at www.navajoministries.org.

13 losing effort against Washington. In the game, Jones went 9-for-22 for 111. Realistically, the only way he’ll see action during the regular season is if something happens to Ben Roethlisberger or Bruce Gradkowski, but Jones will never forget that game. Jones was a fourth round draft pick out of Oklahoma. His numbers were videogamelike. With the Sooners he racked up 16,646 passing yards and 123 touchdowns. Some of you might remember Jones in high school. He led the Bulldogs to a pair of Class 4A state championships. He had a rifle of an arm, throwing for over 7,000 yards and 89 touchdowns in his career.

1 this week. I know people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, but I’m going to pick up a few rocks. Fox Sports Live co-hosts Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole were a fresh change from ESPN, but they tried a little too hard at times to be funny. I don’t mind some offthe-cuff humor during highlights, but it’s not Amateur Night at the Ha-Ha Hole. I think Fox Sports 1 is a work in progress. They will take a small number of fans from ESPN, based on the fact that Fox is promoting heavy coverage of UFC and NASCAR – partners with Fox – which is down the list of priorities in Bristol. I still think the MLB network does the best job with baseball highlights. ESPN is too east coast biased for me. (If you don’t think there’s a bias, just ask the people who work there. They will tell you.)

Imitation is a form of flattery and there’s some theft going on. Fox uses the live look-ins that ESPN uses during shows such as Pardon the Interruption. Fox also stole a page from ESPN when they hired Regis Philbin as their host of Crowd Goes Wild. They are going for the Tony Kornheiser grumpy old man persona. I’m not sure if it works yet. Let’s not kid ourselves. ESPN is king when it comes to sports coverage. They have the games, they have the numbers and they have the history. What bothers me about ESPN is I don’t like the same programs and the same arguments on the same topics ALL DAY. Oh yeah, and I’m not a Skip Bayless fan, either. Sportscenter can get stale, Chris Bernman’s schtick is old. Give him a gold watch for his time served and move on. Scott Van Pelt is brilliant. PTI is original with great chemistry. Bill Sim-

mons is a walking encyclopedia of NBA knowledge and the future of ESPN. His 30-for-30 specials are some of the best sports programs on TV. Fox Sports 1 doesn’t have the inventory of programming yet that ESPN does. The fourletter network has live shows or games almost every hour – or they will dress up the same show with a different name and anchor – but give Fox time. ESPN is named the World Wide Leader for a reason. They’ve earned it. But I think their product has gone downhill for the past decade. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still watch. But when the anchors start talking Tebow for the 20th time today or Johnny Manziel is discussed for the 10th time within the hour, then I might switch over to Fox Sports 1. I’ve been waiting for years for someone to give ESPN a little competition. Now it looks like we have some.

Murrieta His brother Rashad followed. The two players later met with Davie to ask for their return to the team. “We are grateful to have this second opportunity and are excited to be back with our teammates,” Rashad and Vershad said in a statement on Monday. “They have to start at the bottom and work their way back up the depth chart,” Davie said after Monday’s workout. “If they can do that, they’ll be out there playing.” Rashad and Vershad attended classes and all football activities on Monday as the team prepares for its season opener against UTSA on Aug 31.

been raised and how the funds are being spent. He also wanted to know what type of benefit the city of Farmington would receive from any type of donation. Bloomfield’s Mayor Scott Eckstein said he didn’t have a budget, but he estimated the event would cost the city between $10,000 and $12,000. He also said the city would get its logo on the back of Fireball Run T-shirts that are being printed and given to racers and their crews. “There will be advertising benefit to some degree,” Eckstein said, adding that there also is an opportunity to market the Bloomfield and the Four Corners online, because in the past the run has earned 44 million viewers in news coverage and one million hours of online viewing. “Part of the reason there is a viewer audience, you have the president of M&M Mars driving one of the vehicles and his team will try to solve riddles,” Eckstein said. “They (the racers) will travel through Farmington en route to Shiprock and, ultimately, Page, Ariz.” Bloomfield City Clerk Jamie Turrentine added that

many of the “participants are investors themselves. They are wealthy people, and a lot of time they invest in the communities they visit.” Sandel said he wanted more information. City Councilor Mary Fischer asked whether the Farmington Convention and Visitor’s Bureau should be sponsoring this type of event, instead of the city. Sandel echoed that request, as did Councilor Gayla McCulloch. City Manager Rob Mayes said there was no need to ask the visitor’s bureau, because the city could take the funds out of the city’s Lodger’s Tax revenues, which are earmarked for marketing. “I'd like to be a good neighbor and I see that as being a basis for a sponsorship of this event. I can justify a sponsorship,” Farmington Mayor Tommy Roberts said, adding he also would like to know the overall budget. Roberts said this race seems to be good for economic development in the region and he would support donating $1,000 to

the event. Eckstein said the money could be used for a variety of expenses, from purchasing T-shirts and welcome bags to paying for meals for racers and their teams. “There are a lot of costs involved,” he said, adding there already are a number of sponsors giving in-kind donations. These sponsors include Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Rob Rocket Designs, Serious Texas Barbecue, Majestic Media and Clear Channel Radio. Other sponsors are San Juan County, San Juan College, Envirotech, Williams and ConocoPhillips. Majestic Enchantment Fly Fishing, Wines of the San Juan and Salmon Ruins all will sponsor racer events. Councilor McCulloch agreed that $1,000 would be sufficient and asked that it be taken out of the Lodger’s Tax Fund. Darnell made the motion and McCulloch seconded it. They voted in favor of the donation, while Sandel and Fischer voted against it. Mayor Roberts broke the tie voting in favor of the $1,000 donation.

Show celebrates women

TRI-CITYTRIBUNE Friday, August 23, 2013

Get your tickets for Menopause The Musical now LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Area residents will have a chance to see another hit musical with Menopause The Musical coming to the Farmington Civic Center on Sept. 11. The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and tickets cost $40 or $50, depending on seating in the theater. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at http://fmtn.org/civiccenter or by calling 505.599.1148. Group discounts of 10 people or more are available by calling 888.686.8587

ext. 3. Menopause The Musical celebrates women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived menopause. Writer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of menopause.

“It is a very funny show but really, underneath the surface, it gives women permission to laugh at something that for many years was not spoken of. The women are able to laugh about menopause and they realize, often for the first time, they are not alone and they are part of a sisterhood who has been going through this rite of passage since the beginning of time,” said Seth Greenleaf, director of the musical. The musical is set in a department store and the all-female cast makes fun of their hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrin-

kles, night sweats, and chocolate binges. Greenleaf said the musical can easily come to Farmington because the cast does not have to perform in a large theater. “This gives us great flexibility and we are able to go and get it seen by more people.” Lisa Hutchens, supervisor of the Farmington Civic Center, said it is important for the public to support these musicals. “The more the public supports these kinds of theater events here, the more opportunity for us to bring them in,” she explained. “When the community supports it we can jus-

tify bringing it in.” GFour Productions is bringing the musical to Farmington and on Sept. 12, Menopause The Musical will perform at Popejoy Hall in Albuquerque. Since Menopause The Musical opened in 2001 in Orlando, Fla., an estimated 11 million women have attended a performance. The musical recently celebrated its 3,000th performance and was named the longest running scripted production in Las Vegas, Nev.

TEA Local theater group gears up for 17th season DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune

Theater Ensemble Arts has brought the community 16 years of live theater. As the non-profit theater group enters its 17th season, there are several activities planned to help raise funds and keep the theater from going dark. “We’re very excited for community theater to be existing after 17 years in Farmington,” said Joey Herring, president of the organization. “This is very impressive and says something to the quality of the community.” Theater Ensemble Arts, or TEA, will produce three plays this season. The season will open Oct. 25 with Neil Simon’s California Suite, which also will be performed Oct. 26 and Nov. 1-3 in the San Juan College Little Theatre. There will be auditions to cast this production at 6 p.m. Aug. 27 and at 4 p.m. Aug. 31 in the Theater Ensemble Arts Scene Shop, 818 W. Arrington St. in Farmington. There is a need for nine players and several theater techies, according to the audition listing on Facebook. California Suite premiered on April 23, 1976, at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles. It is composed of four playlets set in Suite 203-04 of The Beverly Hills Hotel. The suite consists of a living room and an adjoining bedroom with an ensuite bath, and there are three separate sets of visitors to the suite – all with different stories to tell.

The second production of the 17th season will be Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love. It opened on Feb. 8, 1983, at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, Calif., and it features battling lovers – May and Eddie – at a Mojave Desert motel. It will be performed Jan. 17-19 and Jan. 22-23 at the San Juan College Little Theatre. The final production is Mitch Albom’s And the Winner Is, which will be performed April 4-5 and April 11-13 in the San Juan College Little Theatre. This play tells the story of a self-obsessed movie star, Tyler Johnes, who is nominated for an Academy Award and dies the night before the award show. Johnes bargains with the gatekeeper to return him to Earth for the big night and he brings his agent, his bombshell girlfriend and his former wife along for the ride. Tickets for the season are being sold for $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. The sales barely cover the cost of producing a season of live theater, according to Herring. “We are a non-profit organization, so we exist solely on donations and season ticket sales,” Herring said. The organization is putting on a golf tournament on Sept. 7 to try to raise some funds, because there are some serious financial obligations the theater group is trying to meet. “Over the last few years we have produced stage productions on a shoestring.

We are completely volunteer, and it takes about $20,000 a year to just continue to exist,” Herring said. In an effort to raise these funds before the upcoming theater season, TEA will host a golf tourney that will begin with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Sept. 7 at Hidden Valley Golf Club, 29 County Road 3025 in Aztec. It is a four-person scramble, and the cost to participate is $60 per person or $240 per Team and that includes green fees, the cart and lunch. “We’re hoping to have a good fun time and do something a little different for us,” Herring said, adding that TEA is seeking sponsors for the tournament. “We are looking for major sponsors to help offset the cost of the tournament, and hole sponsors, which are $100.” This will help offset the costs of the theater season, during which TEA has to purchase royalties for the plays – a cost of about $600 per production, which runs between $1,200 and $1,800

per year. The organization also has to pay for insurance for the scene shop and for the cast and crew, which runs around $5,500 a year. There are utilities that run anywhere from $250 to $300 a month, as well as the costs to make costumes and build sets. “The costs of building materials, such as wood and paint, have increased dramatically,” Herring said. “The last few years we have been operating on a bare bones budget. Basically, if we don't start getting more donations

- we're are not going to be able to continue to survive. ” For information about the upcoming season, or to spon-

sor the golf tournament or purchase season tickets, call the TEA office at 505.326.2839.

Vegetables in August

Tips for when to harvest your bountiful crops With vegetable gardening in full swing right now, it is as important to know when to harvest your vegetables is as it is to know how to grow them. Each vegetable has a specific window for harvesting. Some vegetables have a nice long window for harvesting; others can go from tender and delicious to tough and bitter overnight. The best way to determine when vegetables should be harvested is to understand the characteristics of the vegetable itself. Below is a list of vegetables and the signs that can help you determine when to harvest: Cantaloupe: There are three basic ways to tell when it is time to harvest muskmelon; stem removes easily from the vine, surface netting of the skin turns beige, and blossom end is soft and smells sweet. Chile, Hot: Harvest as needed. Young, green peppers are hotter than mature, colored ones. Peppers: Pick peppers at any stage of development. The longer

ADVICE YOU CAN GROW WITH Donnie Pigford

fruits stay on a plant, the more intense flavor becomes. Sweet peppers grow sweeter. Bell Peppers can be picked at any time; colored varieties can be left on the plant until they change colors. Herbs: It's best to pick herbs before they flower. Harvest herbs on a dry morning, after dew has dried. The exception is mint, which you want to pick at midday, when essential oil concen-

trations in leaves are greatest. Avoid harvesting herbs following a rain, when foliage is wet. Tomatoes: Even though tomatoes continue to ripen after picking, fruits develop greatest flavor when allowed to ripen on plants. Exceptions are the small sweet 100 and cherry tomatoes, which are prone to splitting. Pick these tasty little treats as soon as fruits start showing color. Squash: Daily inspections of squash vines are a must. In August heat, small tasty squash can transform into inedible enormous clubs overnight. Summer squash is best harvested when young and tender. The skin should be easily penetrated with the thumbnail. Cucumber: Cucumbers are best when slightly immature,

National SkillsUSA winners

FHS welding fabrication team wins silver medal at competition LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The Farmington Municipal Schools welding fabrication team was nationally recognized this summer after receiving the silver medal at the 2013 National SkillsUSA competition in Kansas City, Mo. From June 24 through June 28, FMS team members Jacob Mihelich, Aaron Magnum, Brett Pash and FMS Welding Instructor Edward McHenry traveled to the national competition where they completed a two-hour written test and a six-hour 30-minute welding project. Mihelich, Magnum, and Pash graduated from Farmington High School in May. “They did extremely well considering the problems they had,” said McHenry, referring to how

the Farmington team’s welding machine malfunctioned during the competition. “I didn’t think we would come in second place. It was a shock when we did,” Pash said. There were 32 high school teams who competed in the welding fabrication category at this year’s national SkillsUSA. The welding fabrication project built by the teams was a movable cart with wheels. This was Pash’s first year welding. “I’ve never welded before. It was a big accomplishment for me.” Since the FMS team finished in second place, each of the team members received $1,000 worth of welding equipment. The FMS welding fabrication team has participated in the national SkillsUSA competition for four

years. In 2011, the team finished in first place, and in 2012 the team finished in second place. SkillsUSA is a national organization serving teachers and high school and college students who are preparing for careers in technical, skilled and service occupations. SkillsUSA competitions are held at the local, state and national levels. At the annual national SkillsUSA Championship, over 5,000 students compete in 96 occupational and leadership skill areas.

just as the spines soften and before the seeds become half-size. This will vary with variety. Most varieties will be 1 ½” to 2 ½” in diameter, 5” to 8” long. Pickling cucumbers will be blocky and not as long. Eggplant: Harvest when fruits are nearly full-grown but color is still bright and shiny. Eggplant is overripe when color dulls and seeds turn brown.

Okra: Okra pods are ready to harvest when they are 2”

to 3” long and snap easily. Over-mature pods become tough and woody. It is very important to harvest both herbs and vegetables regularly. In most cases, the more you harvest, the more the plants produce. This is particularly true with herbs. Even if you are not using them immediately, they should be harvested and stored. If allowed to go to flower and seed, many of these plants will be unusable for the rest of the growing season.

Winemaking season

About 60 tons of grapes arrive at Wines of the San Juan LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Nearly 60 tons of grapes will be pressed during Wines of the San Juan Grape Crush Season, which marks the beginning of the winemaking process every year. The season begins in August and will go through September. “That’s when the grapes are picked, and the season depends on where you are located in the state,” said David Arnold, Wines of the San Juan owner. To start off Grape Crush Season at the Blanco winery, David said more than 17 tons of grapes were delivered from vineyards in Deming, N.M., on Aug. 21. Many of the pressed grapes are from southern vineyards. Wines of the San Juan, however, has six acres of grapes that also are used to produce the wines. The winemaking season also gives Wines of the San Juan an opportunity to create new wines to give the customers a fresh, new taste. “We try to make a couple of new ones because we have a wine club and we want to send them different things – we don’t want to reuse the same (wine),” David explained. Recently, David announced that his son, Joshua Arnold, will be the new head winemaker. David has been the head winemaker since he turned over the reins to his son.

“(The wine) will be a better quality because he is more into the details and has a keen palette,” David said. “He is more into really intense quality.” Joshua has been a winemaker at his parent’s winery since 2001. He became a fulltime winemaker in 2007. “I started working underneath my dad. He was the winemaker and I did all the heavy lifting,” Joshua explained. Learning techniques from his dad has molded him into the winemaker he is today, Joshua said, adding that he learns something new every year about the winemaking process. “I want to carry on the legacy of my dad and try to accommodate every kind of wine drinker – from the people who like sweet wines to dry wines.” As a way to enhance the wine quality, Joshua will do more lees stirring, a technique that gives the wine a heavier body. Lees is the residue at the bottom of the wine vat. “Mainly my goal is to make wine for everyone and to produce the best wine I possibly can with New Mexico fruits.” Wines of the San Juan also is preparing for its 11th annual Harvest Wine

Festival to kick off the fall season. The festival will be from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, and then from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29. Tickets to attend the festival are $10 for adults and include a commemorative wine glass, and free for anyone under the age of 18 if they are accompanied by a parent. The 3rd annual Great Grape Stomp will be a part of this festival. The public is encouraged to

form a team of two people, with one team member stomping on 30 pounds of grapes and the other as the “swabbie” who collects the juice. The team with the most juice will win the competition. The grape stomp competition will begin at 3 p.m. and be on both Saturday and Sunday. The team entry fee is $25 and anyone participating will get a free T-shirt. To register a team for the Great Grape Stomp, call the winery at 505.632.0879.

Help with claims

Mobile services van here to help disabled veterans Aug. 30 LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Local veterans who need help with their claims can visit the Disabled American Veterans Mobile Service Van, which will be parked at the Farmington K-Mart

parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30. The Mobile Service Van travels to various communities allowing National Service Officers to help veterans with new and old claims and answer questions veterans may have

with the claims process. The service is free and all veterans are welcome to receive this service. They do not need to be a member of the DAV to get help on their claims. “One of the biggest black holes is when some-

one comes back from war and they don’t think about (their claims) until the dust settles on it,” said Dannie Roberts, local DAV Chapter Nine treasurer. He added that no appointments are necessary to meet with the National Service Officers.

For anyone who wishes to receive this service, bring all records pertaining to the claims as well as a DD-214 form and a photo I.D. The DAV Mobile Service Van is able to bring these services to different com-

munities because of a $2 million donation from the Harley-Davidson Foundation. For more information about the Mobile Service Van stops, please call DAV Supervisor Gary Prescott at 505.346.4864.

Nosey Nellie’s thinking about dabbling in real estate. NN watches a LOT of Home and Garden Network shows and has decided real estate is where she could really shine and make a gazillion dollars. NN has a knack of making people feel so comfortable with her, they’ll do anything she asks if she signs an agreement stating she will never, ever, ever again contact them for any possible reason. NN thinks it’s lovely that people appreciate and enjoy her so much that they want to take that one memorable moment and keep it with them forever. And when NN signs that little piece of paper that has just been notarized by 16 notary publics and witnessed by 23.5 attorneys. – the half of an attorney is NN’s legal rep from Vegas, who only finished half of his law degree. He completed and totally aced his bar exam, but found out too late he was at the wrong bar. Whatever – and the lovely people snatch it from NN’s grasp so they can take it to Hobby Lobby and get it framed, NN’s heart just swells with pride. Or maybe NN’s heart swells on accounta she had beans and franks for lunch and she and her half an attorney are still trying to find the right bar so he can get his bar account approved and he can take on high profile cases instead of the low profile ones he only

NN’s half an attorney would like to have a for reals legal office instead of conducting “business” from the back of his 1963 VW bus, which he purchased during his hippie days and which still has psychedelic curtains, which some people call “odd,” but which my half an attorney calls “vintage.” Whatever. So, NN went online and found a “reputable” university which will let you take classes online, but then you must participate in a live “classroom setting” before you take your exam and become a licensed and revered real estate agent/wonderwoman. NN isn’t fond of online classes, because she has an attention defiance disorder – which basically means NN pretty much does her own thing and isn’t really interested in what an instructor/teacher/person of authority has to say on accounta she’s pretty much gonna do things her own way, even though all too often, her own way is against the law. Whatever. So NN found another online class from a maybe-notso-reputable university where she can obtain her real estate license if the applicant has “more than 65 hours of watching Property Brothers, House Hunters and Love It or List it on HGTV, understands the idea of a contract and knows people who may be able to interpret said contract, and has the appropriate number of hooker heels to look like a real estate wonderwoman.” NN applied, was accepted and sent in her $5,000 license fee, which is good for nine months. (NN did question the nine months, but the lovely foreign lady she talked to through an interpreter said that after nine months the fee drops to $2,500 a month, which must be deposited in an underground bank account in an airport in Russia. At least that’s what NN thinks the nice foreign lady and the interpreter said. NN is confident she can sell enough real estate to cover the $2,500 monthly fee to do business.) NN’s pretty savvy when it comes to makin’ deals, just so’s ya know. NN hopes to specialize in “unique” properties, like yachts, small islands, penthouse suites and ocean front

property, although she realizes those may be a challenge in New Mexico. Still, NN has watched enough House Hunters to know that if you look hard enough, you’ll find the right property for your client and they will have three to pick from in 30 minutes. NN’s gonna make a gazillion dollars and become a real estate mogul and will prob’ly be invited to host her own show on HGTV, have her own fashion line for the professional real estate person, and hire her half an attorney to represent her in case she says something she shouldn’t or couldn’t or is against the law. Life will be good. Watch for her signs – Get the Dirt (and the house, garage and yard) From Nosey Nellie! While NN was researching her next career move, her sista from anotha mutha, Di McClellan, had a birthday. Di is like one of those women who gets more beautiful every year, which NN finds somewhat despicable, but it’s Di, so NN forgives her. Also celebrating BDs this week were the lovely Debbie Gent and Jan Morgen, the equally lovely Randy Large and the amazing and wonderful Randy Akins. NN has several wonderful, good and kind Randys in her life, which has given NN pause to consider creating an alter ego – Randy Mandy – for books and movies. Just sayin’. …. Jeff and Kristy Graham celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and the awesome Judge John Dean will celebrate a birthday Monday, so NN thinks everyone should send Da Judge a birthday card – we can consider it an investment, in case we ever need a Get Out of Jail card. Not that Da Judge would give us one, or accept one, or be happy if we tried to give him one, but a card shower for Da Judge would be lovely, don’t you think? NN met up with some wonderful people at the Art Walk in lovely historic Downtown Farmington last week. NN stopped at Studio 116 and didn’t manage to get much further. It was the wine and the AMAZING cookies gallery owner/artist Karen Ellsbury’s multi-talented friend, Greg made. That and the great art that

was on display. NN schmoozed with the likes of Deb and Dale Latta, Pip (NN LOVES that name – that may be one ’nother of her alter egos) Howard, Greg Gomez (of cookie and art fame), Aaron Joplin, Rob and Tina Farrow, Doug and Cindy McNealy, Rick and Renetta Gomez (who purchased the beautiful Aspen painting NN has always coveted), Crystal Hazen (who is a brilliant and talented young artist who helps KE with Studio 116), Kolbjorn Lindland, Josey Foo, Richard Ferguson, Liz Stannard (an incredibly talented artist herownself ), Barry Digman (who also celebrated a birthday this week and who is the bomb), Maggie Fry, Michael Meherg, Linda and Mike West (who made a smart purchase of KE’s art), Gary and Carol Wood (amazing people), Tim Gordon, Lou Mancel, Betty Reed (who is a talented artist and one of the funniest women EVER!), Sue Johnson (who creates wonderful Gnome Homes that are a collector’s delight), Janet Burns (also a talented artist who is very, very lovely), Jane Banes (who is awesome!). In addition, Anita and Gerry Arviso brought their niece, Maddison Johnson, who has taken art lessons from KE and whose own art won a ribbon at the San Juan County Fair! NN also made note of the fact that radio personality Captain Kirk was at the Art Walk, taking in the art and the refreshments! NN was blessed this week to enjoy the company of Jodi and Jimmy Brown (who are expecting a baby soon!), Julie Rasor, Carmen Martinez, Dr. Judy Palier (Dr. Judy is one of the most amazing people ever and is a HOOT!), the ever so nice and helpful Karen King, Sherry Smith, Lisa Martin, Peggy Jones, Ben Lyons, Billy Huish, Gary Howlett, Lynn Mintz, Josh Mintz, Bill Fortner, Gayle Dean, Randy Pacheco, and Dennis Gross. NN’s sister, Mystical Marianne, is coming to town. Please keep bail money handy in case it’s needed and remember, as soon as NN’s check clears and she gets her license, she’ll give you the dirt on anything you want!
