Citizens present Foothills flooding photos
Willis attorney wants out
Council asks staff for damage report, drainage plan
Comeau files motion to withdraw
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune A plan to update the city’s drainage and alleviate flooding was given to the city in December 2012. The City Council, however, still has not received a report on the plan, despite heavy rains that flooded much of Farmington in early September. “I think I was quite concerned that a budget season came and went and flood season has come and gone and we didn’t know anything about this,” Councilor Mary Fischer said during the Sept. 24 meeting, as she requested a formal presentation
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Santa Fe Attorney Michael Comeau filed an order on behalf of his legal firm asking to be removed as legal counsel for Bobby Willis in a case the state’ Financial Institutions Division filed against Willis as the owner of New Mex- Willis ico Title and Escrow. Comeau cited “irreconcilable

residents, whose properties were damaged during the heavy rainstorms. Yvonne Davidson and Shelly Shenenfield live in the Las Brisas

Council OKs new shelter animal crematory
County offers to give Crouch Mesa Center property to city DEBRA MAYEUX LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Some 60 youth and teenagers have a place to call home between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Crouch Mesa Community Center. The center opened Nov. 5, and a pilot program was implemented at the facility in the old Halvorson House high atop Wildflower Mesa and directly across the street from Esperanza Elementary School and Mesa View Middle School. Nearly one year later, the San Juan County Commission has decided to give the property
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The Farmington City Council unanimously approved a bid from B & L Cremation Systems for the purchase of an animal crematory for the new Farmington Regional Animal Shelter. The approval came after discussion from Councilor Mary Fischer who wanted to ensure her constituents that the city was not purchasing a crematory to go into business. San Juan County Commissioners recently agreed to transfer the ownership of Halvorson House in Crouch Mesa to the city of Farmington. The old Halvorson House facility is currently used for the city’s Crouch Mesa Community Center program. – Debra Mayeux photo

flooding a non-functioning drainage system in their neighborhood. “There’s culverts and river rocks to accommodate an overflow of water, but it obviously didn’t work,” Davidson said, adding the culvert rapidly filled with silt when the water came rushing through the neighborhood from north to south and west to east. The culverts, which are 14 inches in diameter, were “completely silted up,” according to Davidson, who said there was nowhere for the water to go but into residents’ yards and driveways along Las Brisas Trail. “Everything is blocked up on our end, so it just flows across the road and silts up the culverts.” Fischer pointed out that the Las Brisas drainage system was in the December 2012 plan, which stated that some of the city’s pipes are “drastically undersized.” Mayor Tommy Roberts asked whether the culverts
along Las Brisas Trail had been cleaned out by the city after the 200-year storm that came through Farmington in August 2010. “My thoughts were these culverts were completely covered,” he said. Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell said the culverts were cleaned out in 2010 and ready for rain. Davidson, however, disagreed. “The city’s infrastructure is not adequate, and it is creating re-occurring damage when we have heavy rains,” she said, adding the city needs to divert water from Escondido Trail so it can continue flowing into the drains and make its way to the river. “We request that the city maintain the culverts, and that the city remove the silt after a storm like this.” On the days of the rainstorms, Davidson said she and her husband borrowed a tractor to try to move sand and create barriers to keep the water out of their house. “There’s tons

of sand. I think we have a piece of everyone’s property all the way up to the Glade,” she said. The cost of repairs is estimated to be $8,000 just for Davidson’s yard and the driveway which was damaged. Davidson said she visited with the city’s legal department for assistance but felt that the customer service was “lacking.” “I left feeling like there was nothing the city would do to help us. ... I didn’t feel real good about that,” she said. Roberts pointed out that state law prohibits municipalities from offering assistance to private property owners, and that customer service should be a priority. “I believe our management team recognizes that the taxpayers are our customers. There’s an awful lot of stress placed on positive customer service. … I don’t want to leave the impression that it is something we don’t regard as something very important. It is being stressed as very important by our depart-

ment heads,” he said. Roberts also stated that if the issue of damage were “more global” in nature then the city could step in and do some repairs. Sandel said he believed the problem was more “global” in that the problem affected the entire neighborhood and had been pointed out to the city’s Public Works Department in the past. “There are drainage ditches moving – there are culverts underneath the street that are severely
undersized that is very much the point of what needed to be identified,” he said. “Since there is an undersized culvert going under the street, since there is that under-sized infrastructure, it backs up the water, thereby ruining landscaping and threatening the houses. These repeated events are costly to homeowners. It is an agitation and a frustration.” Fischer said this infrastructure and other drainage problems are summarized in the
drainage report, and while the problems can be fixed, it will be costly. “It was an expenditure of $40 million to fix our drainage system and there doesn’t seem to be any plan of how we get from A to B. What was presented in that report was pretty alarming,” she said, asking for a public meeting to be set in the future to discuss the drainage system and possible plans for upgrades. The Council unanimously agreed to move forward with a meeting and presentation.

center to the city of Farmington so the Parks Department can continue to expand the program and offer neighborhood children an alternative place to be after school and on weekends. When the center opened there were a variety of activities including a foosball table and a computer lab, and there are other activities available for the children. Farmington City Councilor Dan Darnell, who spearheaded the plan to open a community center on Crouch Mesa, is happy with the program thus far, and would like to see programming expand in the future. “I think the Crouch Mesa Community Center needs to be given the same opportunity (as the Sycamore Park Community Center),” Darnell said.
“This is a great time to be talking about what we will be doing with it.” The Sycamore Park Community Center has brought the neighborhood on Farmington’s south side a sense of togetherness as well as a sense of pride. It is used regularly by a variety of neighborhood groups and has a full-size gymnasium, classrooms and an area for outdoor recreation. The Crouch Mesa Center was not built to be a recreation center and there is no landscaping at the facility. There are, however, opportunities to build upon the center and the programming. “I’m thinking we could expand in place – use the facility you have now and expand some additional meeting space, some recre-

ational space you don’t have right now,” Darnell said, adding that a playground area would be a good start. “Our staff has to be careful of being that far away from the kids, just making sure that we have enough space to do some pretty decent programs.” The programming is what makes a community center viable, as well as the operation, which is set up to provide children with alternatives to involvement in illicit or illegal activities. Darnell, a retired Farmington Police officer, pointed out that after school and on weekends children tend to get into trouble, especially if their parents are not home and they have nowhere to go. The time that we are
open is limited, but I think it is a critical time when kids get in trouble,” he said. “Kids need a positive place to come to. Without any remodeling if you look at it in terms of those 60 kids – if they didn’t have a center to go to, for those 60 kids – I think it is a potential life changer.” The other important aspect of the center is that it is located within walking distance of schools and houses. “There are transportation issues for families, so the closer we can get to a neighborhood with a facility that the kids trust, the more outreach we will get,” Darnell said, adding he is pushing for the city to offer support to other afterschool programs such as the Farmington Boys and Girls Club and Big
Brothers/Big Sisters. “We need everyone working to help our youth,” he said. Offering that alternative and help to youth was the reason for the county to move forward with the ownership transfer of the building, according to County CEO Kim Carpenter. “To date it (the center) has been successful, and we think it is within our best interests that we deed this facility to them (city of Farmington) for the use they had and the success they had in this facility,” Carpenter said. While the Commission agreed to transfer ownership of the building, the city of Farmington has yet to accept the gift. “It is not a done deal yet – City Council hasn’t accepted it as a gift yet,”
said Cory Styron, parks, recreation and cultural affairs director for Farmington. “To be honest, we are limited to what we can do with the county. They surprised us by giving the building, so we really haven’t sat down and thought about additional services for that facility.” Styron said at this time the center basically is a place for children to come after school and work on homework until parents pick them up. The city has earmarked an annual budget of $70,334 to operate the facility at its current level, but he also pointed out that a communitywide master plan process will begin in October, and plans for the Crouch Mesa Community Center could be a part of that discussion.

Should the food stamp program be curtailed? What should be the future of food stamps? The Associated Press reported this week that House Republicans are trying to cut $4 billion from the $80 billion-a-year food stamp program. Conservative critics argue the program has become bloated – more than one in seven Americans now get federal help feeding their families. “I think most Americans don’t think you should be getting something for free, especially for the able-bodied adults,” said Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. But President Barack Obama has threatened to veto such a bill, with the White House issuing a statement “these cuts would affect a broad array of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet.” How should the food stamp program proceed? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue. MATHIS: One in seven Americans is on food stamps? That sure sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? Maybe
too many? Well, consider this: The Census Bureau this week unveiled its annual measurement of income in the United States. It turns out that 15 percent of Americans are living in poverty. If you care to do the math, 15 percent more or less equals a ratio of one-in-seven. In other words, the food stamp program appears to be precisely as large as it needs to be. You could argue it needs to be larger. Panera Bread CEO Ron Shaich is spending this week eating on $4.50 a day – the amount of money provided by the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, the formal name for food stamps. Guess what? He’s pretty hungry. “When is my next meal?” Shaich wrote in his blog this week. “How much food is left in my cabinet? Will it get me through the week? What should I spend my remaining few dollars on? What would I eat if I had no budget at all?” Which makes Huelskamp’s com-
RED & BLUE STATES Joel Mathis & Ben Boychuk
ments about “able-bodied adults” receiving food stamps sound rather foolish. After all, one needs food – enough food – in order to be ablebodied. There’s a chickenand-egg concept that he and many Republicans seem unwilling to grasp. The latest debate over food stamps occurs, in fact, in the wake of a series of strikes against fast-food chain restaurants, strikes conducted by “able-bodied” employees who find themselves unable to pay their bills and feed their families on the wages they earn – and unable, absent drastic action like a strike, to negotiate a higher wage for their labor. Conservatives protest when government provides food for American families to survive. And they protest when private businesses are
pressured to pay the kinds of wages that would help American families survive. What’s left? We can’t all be millionaires and business owners. Must people at the bottom starve? Given conservative policy preferences, maybe so. BOYCHUK: Why must the liberal policy option always be a choice between staying the course with a vast and ever-expanding, multibillion-dollar federal government program and mass starvation? Is there no middle ground? SNAP happens to be among the largest and retrograde of federal welfare programs. Its budget exploded from around $20 billion in 2000 to roughly $80 billion last year. Not coincidentally, the program was among the few left untouched by the 1996 welfare
reform law, which sought to limit welfare dependency by imposing time limits and work requirements. Welfare reform succeeded in part because incentives work. Food stamps are one of the rare federal programs with relatively few strings attached. As Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation observes, half of food stamp recipients have been on the program for eight years or more. “Altogether, each month, some 7 million to 7.5 million work-capable households received food stamps while performing no work or working less than 30 hours per week,” Rector notes. “These low levels of work are not simply the product of the current recession: They are typical of food stamp recipients even in good economic times.” Knowing that, imposing some sort of minimal work requirement would seem obvious. But at the moment, requiring work in exchange for food stamps is optional
among the states. If Democrats’ lament cutting food stamps sounds familiar, that’s because it is essentially the same apocalyptic claim they made about welfare reform almost 20 years ago. No less than Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the New York Democrat who famously exposed the links among poverty, welfare dependency and family collapse in the 1960s, predicted that the 1996 welfare reform would lead to “millions of children [joining] the ranks of the homeless trying to get a little warmth by sleeping on the grates in our city streets.” That didn’t happen. It’s a fair bet that reforming food stamps won’t lead to mass starvation, either. Ben Boychuk is associate editor of the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal.

Scare tactics in anti-healthcare ads are inexcusable The irony in this is hard to beat. So is the lie. An Internet-based ad features a young woman on an examining table with her legs up in stirrups waiting to be examined. But instead of her doctor, a sinister-looking Uncle Sam pops up holding a speculum and peering between her legs, as the screaming woman tries to back away. “Don’t let government play doctor,” it says. “Opt out of Obamacare.” Produced by an outfit called Generation Opportunity, the ad is funded by the conservative billionaire Koch Brothers, frequent contributors to Republican causes. It’s inexcusable to hint at a violent, traumatic encounter to alarm and mislead women away from getting health coverage. It’s also the ultimate in hypocrisy. Putting the government between a woman and her doctor has for decades been the Re-
REKAH BASU SCRIPPS HOWARD publican approach. They’ve made the constitutionally protected right to an abortion almost impossible to access in some cases; stripped Medicaid coverage for it except in cases of rape or incest; and then tried to parse the definition of rape. They’ve even gone after contraceptive coverage. And, most relevant here, Republicans tried to block a mandate that it be included in the new healthcare law. Far from forcing actions on people against their wills, replacing trusted doctors with government bureaucrats or taking away women’s choices, the new law expands choices and gives consumers more power. It requires employers to cover preventive
services including drugs, contraception and sterilization. It makes it possible for people to leave jobs they’ve stayed in only for the health benefits, and buy coverage on the insurance exchange. They can no longer be denied because of pre-existing conditions. Yet Generation Opportunity also has a TV ad intended to discourage young people from signing up for health insurance. That’s a group that has already benefited greatly from the Affordable Care Act by being able to stay on their parents’ health-insurance plans until age 26. So why are some Republicans so invested in having people not buy health in-
surance when the new insurance exchanges go into effect Oct. 1? In part because of a conservative anti-regulation philosophy that says big business should be able to do whatever it pleases. (The Koch brothers also fought environmental regulations.) The law imposes penalties on large employers that provide no health coverage, or unaffordable coverage. But opponents should be honest about the basis for their opposition. A writer for the conservative Heritage Foundation, for example, calls Obamacare “a massive intrusion in the doctor-patient relationship, micromanaging how health care should be delivered to patients.” But if you follow the link to find out how that relationship is threatened, you are led to an essay on how doctors will suffer under the expansion of Medicaid and Medicare because
those impose price controls on payments to doctors. The only danger to consumers suggested is that doctors could refuse to accept new Medicare patients. Republicans already fought these battles and lost. It’s been three years since the health-care law was passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama. It has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Parts already have been implemented. Yet House Republicans have voted 41 times to kill it, or features of it. And last week they voted to defund it even if that leads to a government shutdown – which analysts say would cost $100 million a day. How ironic for an effort intended to block government spending. If they can’t stop it from going into effect, these folks are hell-bent on having it fail. So they’re trying to discourage enrollment in the
new health-care exchanges fearing, according to an article in Sunday’s New York Times, that once people begin receiving benefit from the law, “they will be loath to give it up.” As a political strategy, that scorched-earth policy, which is opposed by other Republicans such as Rand Paul, John McCain and Karl Rove, is likely to backfire. Significantly, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reports it has raised more than $840,000 online since the House move to strip funding from the law. But that hasn’t stopped the forces behind these ads from doing all they can to exploit people’s most visceral fears – even as they expose their own sinister motivations: To prevent the president from being proven right.

Adventurally
into Bloomfield Fireball Run helps in the search for missing children LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Contestants from the Fireball Run Adventurally drove into Bloomfield on Sep. 23 to greet cheering citizens and show off their unique vehicles. The more than 80 contestants – ranging from the Rock Hall of Fame President Terry Stewart to local business-owners – are part of an eight-day challenge where they drive from Longmont, Colo., to Riverside, Calif., answering trivia questions about each community in which they stop. Fireball Run Executive Producer J.J. Sanchez, said Fireball Run, which is an online series, is similar to the reality show series Amazing Race, but contestants are playing a lifesize trivia game. Fireball Run also promotes the Missing Children campaign through contestants passing out flyers of missing children to residents in the communities. “I’m hoping that through their efforts they can recover some missing children. That is the most important thing to me,” Bloomfield Mayor Scott Eckstein said during a welcome celebration at Bloomfield High School. Fireball Run has aided in the recovery of 41 missing children. There are an estimated 800,000 children that go missing every year in the United States, with 2,100 children who completely vanish and are never recovered.
More than 300 citizens at the Fireball Run welcome celebration were able to talk with the contestants and take a close look at the unique vehicles.
The Fireball Run camera crew films live footage of the contestants at a welcoming celebration at the Bloomfield High School.
“Children are innocent and it is up to us to protect the children,” said Tony Caruso, a contestant who is a swimming pool contractor from Orlando, Fla. Caruso’s team was representing Nicole Cohen, an
8-year-old girl from Windermere, Fla., who was last seen in 2011. Her sister, Hilary, 9, was abducted at the same time. This was Caruso’s third time competing in the Fireball Run. Since the theme

this year was “All Stars and Movie Cars,” Caruso bought a 1985 Lincoln Limo and transformed it into the vehicle in Cannon Ball Run. The winners of the Fireball Run are based on who completes the most activities and who has the most social media points. The activities completed in San Juan County by the contestants included fly fishing, river rafting, riding horses, and visiting the Salmon Ruins. Paul “Doc” Nigh and Peter “McFly” Corel, from Orange County, Calif., said their favorite activity was “touching the ancient pottery at the Salmon Ruins.” The vehicle they drove was the DeLorean Time
Machine from the movie Back to the Future. “We have been driving this car in Fireball Run since 2008.” The contestants’ vehicles were parked in the high school parking lot allowing
the public to take a closer look at them. “I’m certain some of the cars here most people have never seen before,” Eckstein said. The vehicles included a replica of the Ghostbusters Cadillac and a Lamborghini “Balboni” edition. Valentino Balboni, who was a Fireball Run contestant, is the top test driver for Lamborghini. From Bologna, Italy, Balboni has been test driving Lamborghinis since 1973. “This is my second time to do Fireball Run and it is a huge experience. There is so much passion and interest for cars.” On the morning of Sept. 24 the contestants said their goodbyes and traveled to their next stop in Page, Ariz. “It looks like everyone is having a good time,” Eckstein said. “What an honor for them to come to our community.” Fireball Run was established in 2005 and headquartered at NBC Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.

shelter “I would like to be assured the city isn't going to go in the crematory business and that this is being done strictly for in-house animals,” Fischer said. Fischer had received information from members
of the Animal Shelter Advisory Commission that the city might be planning to use the proposed crematory to raise funds for the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department, which oversees the
animal shelter. There is one Farmington-based business – The Pet Place – that provides pet crematory services, and Fischer did not want the city to compete with a private business.
appointed to organize the title and escrow company accounts and to go through and seize Willis’ assets. By August 2012, Willis, formerly of Kirtland, was being investigated by the Farmington Police Department, and his former business associate Mike Atchison had brought on Aug. 10, 2012, a civil suit against Willis. Comeau also represents Willis in this case. The Farmington Police Department filed criminal charges that same day, alleging Willis embezzled funds from Atchison. Willis was charged with racketeering, embezzlement and securities fraud in this case. Then, on Aug. 29, the FPD brought more charges against Willis in a case where Quentin Smith was the alleged victim. He reportedly gave Willis $5.056 million in precious gemstones and jewelry for safekeeping. When Smith asked for the items back, Willis allegedly refused. The police charged him with embezzlement of more than $20,000. Despite criminal charges being brought against Willis he has not set foot in a San Juan County Courtroom. His defense attorney, John Day, offered the court medical records that al-
legedly state Willis is in poor health and had suffered from multiple strokes while living in Branson, Mo. San Juan County Magistrate Mark Hawkinson allowed Willis to remain in Branson and wear an ankle monitor, so long as he regularly checks in with his attorneys. Willis was supposed to be in San Juan County for a preliminary hearing in early September, but a joint motion, agreed to by both the defense and prosecution, was filed Aug. 29 by Assistant District Attorney Ken Stalter, to continue the hearing. Stalter stated that both parties were in the process of conducting witness interviews and gathering discovery in the case. “Through the fault of neither party, the reproduction of voluminous documents is taking longer than expected,” Stalter wrote. “Necessary witness statements and depositions cannot be conducted until after the defense has had adequate opportunity to review document discovery.” Stalter wrote that the process could not “reasonably be completed” in time for the September hearing. Hawkinson granted the motion on Aug. 30, and reset the hearing in November.
She added it is important for families or friends to directly provide the soldiers’ information in order for them to receive the packages. “We are chartered by the U.S. Congress and I think people think we are automatically given those (soldiers’) addresses, and we are not. The addresses must be submitted to us for us to send the packages,” Castle said. If a soldier’s informa-
tion is submitted by Oct. 3, they will receive a gift package in October and if their information is submitted by Nov. 22, the will receive a gift package for Christmas.

Willis differences” in his Sept. 17 motion to withdraw his appearance as Willis’ counsel. Those “differences,” he wrote, “make it impossible for Comeau, Maldegen, Templeman & Indall, LLP to continue to effectively represent the Willis Respondents in this litigation.” The Willis Respondents include all of Willis’ companies and business partners including New Mexico Title Escrow, Bobby Willis, Carrie Willis, Chad Cox, Kyle Luncy Finch, Jennifer Olson, JJ Bond Investments, Golden Rule and Willis Asset Management. The motion states these businesses and individuals “object to” Comeau’s motion. Comeau has represented Willis and the “respondents” since Feb. 3, 2012, when the Financial Institutions Division brought a complaint against them with regard to the poor management of New Mexico Title and Escrow. The business unexpectedly closed its doors Jan. 31, 2012, leaving customers without access to accounts dealing with their properties. A few days later the Public Regulation Commission’s Insurance Division opened an investigation and then the court case was filed. Through the court case, a receivership was

address, branch of service, estimated date of return to the United States, and the name and telephone number of the person requesting the soldier’s name be added to the list. Families who are not involved with the Blue Star Mothers chapter can still sign their child up to receive gift packages. “It is for all warriors here, whether their parents are active members or not,” Castle said.
Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell said “It is true” that the city was not going to offer cremation services to the public and should that be considered in the future the city would bring back a policy for the Council to consider. “There is no intent on the Parks and Recreation Department to do a public crematory,” Campbell said. Fischer did point out that it might be appropriate for the city of Farmington to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Aztec to provide crematory services to the Aztec Animal Shelter should it need those services for disposal of its animals.
The idea to put a crematory at the new shelter was brought in after the shelter was designed and under construction. Shelter Consultant Marcy Eckhardt suggested it would be a good way to dispose of euthanized animals, which typically are dumped in the San Juan County Landfill. Eckhardt pointed out that the city spends upwards of $25,000 a year to haul dead animals to the dump, and if the crematory cost was around $50,000 the city would see the savings in two years. The crematory would turn the animal carcasses to ash, and the ash still would be hauled and
dumped into the landfill, but at a reduced cost because it would not be considered hazardous waste. The city received eight bidders for the crematory and opened them on Sept. 11. The lowest bid came from B & L Cremation Systems based in Largo, Fla. The cost will be $57,500 for a system that includes a touch screen system on a unit with an electric/hydraulic frontloading door, a chamber viewport, a loading cart, a temperature monitor and 12 feet of refractory lined, high-temperature exhaust stack. The bid includes freight to Farmington as well as an operator trainer for city employees managing the crematory.

There will be a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27, at Feat of Clay Gallery, 107 S. Main Ave. in Aztec. Jo Carole is a watercolor, pastel, oil and batik artist who enjoys painting flowers and still life. She is especially interested in commissioned work. Although she has worked in and taught ceramics, paper making, drawing and painting, she is working only in twodimensions in her studio in Arboles, Colo. Carole is a retired art teacher from Jefferson County, Colo., and has been painting and living in Arboles since 2002. Her art educations includes the University of Northern Colorado, study in Florence, Italy, and work under the tutelage of the late internationally known Angelo diBennedetto. Doug Pfliger has been in Southwest Colorado since May of 2011. He has a BSE in art education and an MFA in painting, and has been teaching and making art for 28 years. He currently teaches art appreciation, drawing and sculpture at Southwest Colorado Community College in Durango. According to Carole, his art tends to be in a humorous, narrative vein that he has been developing since 1995 by working in a number of themes and media. “Doug’s Dogs” is the one of those themes. The series was started in 2005, and was originally called “Scrap Pile Dogs.” Their folksy quality is intentional, but their individual personalities have been quite unexpected. Though their pedigrees be questionable, their role as faithful friends and companions is clearly defined. Dog-shaped household objects such as oil lamps, and purely decorative figures of dogs, were popular in ancient Roman homes, and the very Roman tradition of an image of a dog inscribed with the words ‘cave canem’ or ‘beware
of dog,’ persists today. Doug’s Dogs do not bark or bite, require only an occasional dusting, and will not chew up your favorite pair of shoes. Lorraine Wallace Trenholm was born in New York where she lived until completing studies as a painting major at Pratt Institute. She has done drawings and paintings for dog events and for people with equine interests since high school. Several of her drawings and pastels have appeared on covers of the Saluki Quarterly, a breed specialty magazine. Her paintings are in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Acclaimed quintet
Canadian Brass at Fort Lewis on Oct. 2 DURANGO, Colo. – Canadian Brass, the quintet that has earned the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group,” comes to the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Five tremendous brass musicians – each a virtuoso in his own right – form the legendary Canadian Brass. Renowned for genrebending versatility and joyous performances, the award-winning Brass is almost single-handedly responsible for elevating the art of the brass quintet. With a vast repertoire from Baroque masters to marches, holiday favorites to Dixieland, and jazz to Broadway, Canadian Brass has proven itself an important pioneer in bringing brass music to mass audiences. Friends Chuck Daellenbach and Gene Watts first came together in 1970 to form a brass quintet, but never envisioned the success and storied career Canadian Brass would achieve over
the next 40-plus years. The quintet continues to score Billboard chart positions while playing to packed houses throughout the U.S., Canada, Japan and Europe. As noted in The Plain Dealer, “One need not be partial to brass, or even to classical music, to love Canadian Brass. For these famous five are masters not only of music but also of presentation. After 40 years on stage, they’ve got the chops of virtuosos and the deadpan delivery of the best stand-up comics.” Today’s Canadian Brass includes founder Chuck Daellenbach (tuba), Christopher Coletti and Caleb
Hudson (trumpets), Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone) and Eric Reed (horn). Beyond their unparalleled musicality, each player possesses the creativity, good humor and love of performing that is the ensemble’s hallmark. Celebrating its 43rd season, Canadian Brass has performed in virtually every major concert hall in the world, been seen by hundreds of millions of television viewers, sold 2 million of its approximately 100 albums, and contributed nearly 600 new works and arrangements to the brass quintet repertoire. In addition to a demanding touring and recording
schedule, Canadian Brass is continually innovating to expand the brass repertoire, satisfy and challenge a loyal fan base, and use new media to connect with audiences worldwide. They provide extensive educational outreach under the banners “Effortless Performance” and “Shape Your Musical Des-

You pet could have worms
That’s why your vet asks for a stool specimen Whether your veterinarian calls it a “fecal sample,� “stool specimen,� or “stool sample,� pet owners often wonder why their animal doctors have such a fascination with something that should be left in the backyard or litter box. As it turns out, checking your pets’ feces just might keep the people in your family from getting seriously sick! It might be the look on the person’s face, or maybe the way they are carrying the bag, but staff at a veterinary office can always tell when their clients arrive with a stool sample for testing. Dozens of specimens arrive each day, some in Ziploc baggies, others triple wrapped in aluminum foil and some are tucked neatly in plastic containers. The clients may not realize it, but
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson that smelly sample brought in for testing may help prevent an illness in their pet – or in them! Why does your veterinarian have such an interest in your pet’s stool? The Centers for Disease Control state that 3,000 to 4,000 human serum samples are sent to their labs every year with a presumptive diagnosis of toxocariasis, or, infection with roundworms or hookworms. The illnesses caused by these parasites are not reportable in the United States, so true numbers of human cases are not known. What is known is that 36 percent
of dogs across the country and 52 percent in the southeastern states carry these zoonotic worms. Many pet owners are unaware that their furry family members are capable of harboring these parasites. Some clients don’t believe that their pet could have worms. But, pets can come into contact with these parasites in the yard, in potting soil, at the dog park or even on our hands or feet after we come inside from working in the garden or after taking a walk. The larva and eggs of these parasites are simply abundant in many
places. In fact, a single female worm can shed more than 100,000 eggs per day, and most puppies and kittens are infected with more than just one worm. That’s millions of eggs spreading through areas where dogs and cats go to defecate. Pets infected with a protozoan parasite, such as coccidia or giardia, can shed over a billion cysts each and every day! So, what does your veterinarian do with the sample you brought? Most people understand that veterinarians are checking fecals as a means to find intestinal parasites, more commonly known as “worms.� What is less well known is that the veterinarian is not looking for whole adult parasites. They are looking for microscopic eggs and pro-
tozoans that may inhabit your pet. First, the feces are mixed with a sugar or salt solution, a liquid that is slightly denser than regular tap water. Breaking up the stool allows any infective eggs to enter the solution. Next, the mixture is carefully poured into conical tubes that are placed in a centrifuge. The spinning action helps separate the organic debris of the feces from the parasites and the parasite eggs. After about 10 minutes, the suspension is allowed to sit with a microscope coverslip placed on top. The eggs and most parasites will float to the top and adhere to the coverslip. A veterinary technician or assistant can then take this sample and view it under a microscope.
Any positive specimens are discussed with the veterinarian and an appropriate deworming medication can be prescribed. This process may not sound appetizing to most readers, but these tests are an important part of a veterinarian’s dedication to your pets’ health, and also to public health as a whole. The CDC, the Companion Animal Parasite Council (website: www.capcvet.org) and the American Animal Hospital Association (website: www.aahanet.org) all recommend regular fecal testing for all pets. This means you can expect to pack up a stool sample once or twice each year per pet. If your pets aren’t on monthly heartworm prevention, your veterinarian may ask for a sample every 1-2 months!

Trenholm had been painting regularly and showing her work since 1984 in Cape Cod, Mass. She creates landscape paintings, inspired by Cape Cod, road trips, and the Southwest. She has also developed a flair for animal artistry, doing pastels, oils and collages of dogs and horses. She has been juried several times into the Art Show at the Dog Show in Kansas, and has won awards in oil, pastel, and collage. Lorraine joined the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod the year it was founded, and was juried in as a signature member that same year. Her pastels have received many awards, including BIS, in national competitions. She is a member of “21 in Truro,” an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America, and a signature member of both the Pastel Society of Colorado and the Pastel Society of New Mexico. Kippi Mack-vonDuhn recently retired from 32 years of teaching art, general education and theater for Douglas County Schools. Her artistic skills developed through-

out her life. As an alternative learner, she said she is driven by the love of the arts – visual, dance, performance, and music. She continues to explore and play as she fulfills her lifelong desire to learn. After learning and exploring a large variety of
media through teaching, she now has time to play. She works in many media, but says ceramics, batiks, watercolor, jewelry, and mixed media are at the top of her list. Jan Dotson is from Arboles, Colo., and has been making dolls for a number
of years. She started painting in 2006 with Betty Slade from Pagosa Springs. She paints in oils exclusively and loves clouds, skies, birds and animals. Helen Pruski feels that art has played a large part in her life, and that painting has brought her closer
to nature. “I love the challenge of transforming colors into a piece of art work,” Pruski said. “Mother Nature provides us with so much subject matter to create our own rendition of what we see and feel.”
She has taken many classes and workshops throughout the years, and brings something from each one class into her work. Pruski recently had to make some big changes in her preferred medium. “After 20 years of painting in oils I developed an allergy to the toxic fumes from the solvents,” she said. “After taking a break from painting and moving to Durango in 1997, my love for the Southwest colors brought me back to painting again.” She started to paint with acrylic and found this medium worked for her style of painting. She joined the Plein Aire Painters of the 4 Corners in 2010, and has enjoyed this new challenge of painting outdoors, exhibiting her work, and the camaraderie of fellow artists. Other artists planning to participate in the show are Tanya Lawyer and Jeri Frieson. Feat of Clay is a co-op gallery that features local artists from the Four Corners area. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. For more information call Feat of Clay at 505.334.4335.

brews 3 RIVERS BREWERY It all started with our love of great beer and great food! We wanted to bring it all together in a unique setting. So, in 1997 the Brewery and Eatery was launched to show their love. Since then they have won many awards and 3RB has become a destination for beer lovers from around the world. The brewers at 3RB use the freshest of ingredients and follow strict processes to create a variety of beers. They even experiment with growing our own hops! One of our most decorated offerings “Red Apple Flyer” is always a favorite and our X-Beers are kinda like a science lab of Beerology. The bottom line is that “We love beer,” and it is an honor to hand-craft some of the best beer you can enjoy!
ALASKAN BREWING CO. Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan has been able to enjoy locally made beers. In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same characteristics of beers that were brewed here during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to alder-smoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation. Alaskan’s menu includes beers that are available for every season every year, and offering a full range of styles and flavors, from malty to hoppy, from light to rich, and from floral to citrusy.
BOULDER BEER In 1979 two professors at the University of Colorado received the 43rd brewing license issued in the United States, creating Boulder Beer Company, Colorado’s First Microbrewery. The original site of the brewery was a small farm northeast of Boulder, the brewhouse sharing space in a shed originally housing a few goats! In a world of light yellow lagers, Boulder Beer won industry and consumer accolades for its line of bold Boulder Beers: Boulder Porter, Stout and Extra Special Bitter. Five years later, the brewery moved to its current site in Boulder and expanded from its original one-barrel brewing system to a 50-barrel brewhouse with top-of-the-line packaging equipment. In 1994 we converted the original tasting room to our full-menu pub and epic patio under the Flatirons. Brewmaster David Zuckerman joined Boulder Beer in 1990, and soon introduced Colorado favorites Buffalo Gold and Singletrack Copper Ale, which are still popular today.
FULL SAIL BREWING CO. Full Sail Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Hood River, Ore. Founded in 1987, Full Sail was the first commercially successful craft brewery to bottle beer in the Pacific Northwest for retail sale, and one of Oregon’s early microbreweries. The first beer packaged was Full Sail Golden Ale, followed in 1988 by Full Sail Imperial Porter, Full Sail Amber Ale, and Wassail Winter Ale.
LAGUNITAS BREWING CO. The brewery was founded in 1993 by Tony Magee in Lagunitas, Calif. and moved a year later to nearby Pentaluma, Calif., when they quickly outgrew their original rural West Marin location. The core of Lagunitas came from Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Walker Creek, and the highlands of Quincy. The Chicago contingent initiated the brewing, and the gravitational effect of its suchness did the rest. They all loved the beer, but the mission was larger than the ordinary joy of a hoppy-sweet quaff. It was driven unseen by an urge to communicate with people, to find their tribe, and to connect with other souls adrift on a culture that had lost its center and spun its inhabitants to the four winds to wander lost and bereft with a longing to re-enter the light. The Lagunitas Brewing Co. was not so much an act of ordinary “foundling” as it was willed into being by the unspoken desire of supportive beer lovers in Northern California after which they continued to nurture their creation and urged them forward to fulfill the unifying needs of that same beer-loving diaspora from coast to coast and beyond.
LEFT HAND BREWING CO. Their story started in December of 1990 with a small home-brewers kit. Dick Doore, the co-founder of Left Hand, received the kit as a Christmas present from his brother. According to Dick, “It was all downhill from there.” His obsession with home-brewing led him back to Colorado in August of 1993, where he met up with a former college buddy and soon-to-be Left Hand co-founder, Eric Wallace. It didn’t take the two long to start brewing beer. Dick had been home-brewing for years, and Eric had traveled extensively internationally, seeking out great beers wherever and whenever he could. After brewing several batches that impressed their friends and lucky neighbors, they became more confident in their craft. It was only after drinking quite a lot of really good
bands
dry stout that Eric had brewed that they had their epiphany: “Let’s start a brewery.” In September of 1993, they incorporated as Indian Peaks Brewing Company. Then the search for the location was on from Golden to Loveland, Colo. In November of that year, home became a former meat-packing plant nestled next to the St. Vrain River near downtown Longmont. In just a few weeks, the brewery was starting to take shape, labels were being produced, and kegs and bombers were purchased. The place was hopping. However, the euphoria was quickly sidelined when a conflict of interest surrounding the brewery name surfaced. Indian Peaks was being used by another brewery for a beer style. So, not wanting to start off on the wrong foot, we quickly changed the name of the company to Left Hand, in honor of Chief Niwot, whose tribe wintered in the local area. (The name Left Hand is derived from the southern Arapahoe word “Niwot” meaning left hand.) By 1998, they had merged with Tabernash Brewing from Denver. The next 10 years added some interesting chapters in the life of the brewery. Tabernash was phased out and Indian Peaks Distribution Company was sold. Fast forward to the present, and they’re prospering and growing as never before! Beginning with over 30-percent growth in 2010, Left Hand is breaking barrelage records each year, even making the Brewers Association’s Top 50 Craft Brewers list in 2012.
NEW BELGIUM BREWING In 1989 as an aspiring young home brewer rides his mountain bike with “fat tires” through European villages famous for beer, New Belgium Brewing Company was but a glimmer in his eye. Or basement. For Jeff Lebesch would return to Fort Collins with an imagination full of recipes and a handful of ingredients ready to embark on a whole new journey. Jeff’s first two basement-brewed creations. A brown dubbel with earthy undertones named Abbey and a remarkably well-balanced amber he named Fat Tire. To say the rest was history would be to overlook his wife’s involvement. Kim Jordan was New Belgium’s first bottler, sales rep, distributor, marketer and financial planner. Jeff’s Belgian-inspired brews garnered enough praise from friends and neighbors that Jeff and Kim took their basement brewery to the commercial level in 1991. Kim, social worker by day and mother to two always, began the marketing process by knocking on their neighbor’s door. Anne Fitch was that neighbor and her watercolors are the artwork we continue to use on our labels today. With labeled bottles and local encouragement, the first Belgian-style beers brewed in the United States were officially for sale.
ODELL BREWING CO. Founded in 1989 in Fort Collins, Colo. Odell Brewing was started by Doug Odell, his wife Wynne, and his sister Corkie. Twenty-three years later, the culture of family and collaboration still thrives, fostering a brewery full of beer-centric people. It is this passion for beer that inspires Odell Brewing to create quality, hand-crafted, innovative brews. In 2010 the brewery completed their fourth expansion, adding a wood-aging cellar, a 750-ml bottling line, and a 76-kilowatt photovoltaic system capable of providing 25 percent of the brewery’s peak energy demand. As a regional craft brewery, Odell Brewing is committed to serving the communities in which they distribute by sourcing local raw materials, and through their charitable giving program known as Odell Outreach.
REDHOOK BREWERY It was founded in Seattle in 1981, by Paul Shipman and Gordon Bowker and is owned by the Craft Brew Alliance. Craft Brewers Alliance Inc., was formed on July 1, 2008, with the merger of Redhook and Widmer. CBA acquired Kona Brewing on Oct. 1, 2010. CBA brands its beers under the names Widmer Brothers, Redhook and Kona Brewing. Craft Brewers Alliance changed its name to Craft Brew Alliance on Jan. 12, 2012. Redhook currently produces several styles of beer, marketed under distinct brand names. Redhook’s flagship brand is Redhook ESB (5.8 percent ABV). Redhook also brews Long Hammer IPA (6.2 percent ABV), Pilsner (5.3 percent ABV), Copper Hook (5.8 percent ABV), and its seasonal offerings. Redhook also produces and sells Widmer Hefeweizen in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. under a 2003 licensing agreement with Widmer Brothers Brewing Company. Redhook distributes its products through a network of wholesale distributors, Craft Brew Alliance Inc, and a distribution agreement with Anheuser-Busch InBev, Incorporated. Redhook distributs its products in 48 states.
ROGUE Jack Joyce, Bob Woodell (past University of Oregan fraternity brothers), and another friend, Rob Strasser, were approached by Jeff Schultz, Bob’s accountant, and an avid home brewer. Construction began in June of 1988 in Ashland along a very scenic little stream called Lithia Creek. The 10-bbl brew system was set up in a basement with a 60-seat pub above. The first
brews were Amber and Gold. The brewery and pub opened in October 1988. While the Brew Pub was located in a very pretty and scenic location, had a beautiful deck, enjoyed moderate success, and the beer was great, Ashland was not to be Rogue’s only adventure. In early February of 1989, Jack wandered to Newport in search of the perfect place for another Rogue Pub. Legend has it that a terrible and unusual snow storm struck and Jack found himself stranded on the Historic Bay Front, with no way up the hill. He was forced to walk the streets until he met up with Mohave Niemi, founder of the famous Mo’s Clam Chowder. She took him to the original Mo’s restaurant, gave him a bowl of hot clam chowder and told him about her dream of living above a bar and how she might just have the perfect spot for the next Rogue Brew Pub. Mo offered the vacant space and the garage to Jack at a very generous price, under two stipulations: that a picture of Mo herself, naked in a bath tub, be forever displayed at the pub it’s still there today just to the left of the bar.
SAMUEL ADAMS In April 1985, when Samuel Adams Boston Lager® made its debut in about 25 bars and restaurants in Boston, the company had no office, no computers, and no distributors. Jim Koch and his partner, Rhonda Kallman, were the only employees. They spent most of their time going bar to bar just trying to sample people on this different kind of beer. The beer caught on faster than anyone expected. By the end of the year sales of Samuel Adams beer had reached 500 barrels, and distribution had expanded from Massachusetts to Connecticut, and a place where great beer is revered, Germany. It was beginning to look as if Jim's instincts were right. If you offered people a better beer, they'd be thirsty for it. Today they are a team of about 900 people with breweries in Boston, Cincinnati, and Pennsylvania. Their family of beers includes over 50 different beer styles that's ever changing. Samuel Adams beers are now available in all 50 states and more than 20 foreign countries. We're proud that our beers are recognized for awards all over the world, including in the style's country of origin. Over the years our beers have won more awards around the globe, more than any brand in history.
SIERRA NEVADA The company set out with a simple goal: brew the beers they wanted to drink. They started small, with a homebrew shop, a love of American hops, and plenty of passion. In the process, they say they changed the beer world forever. Decades later, they are still at it, and the passion burns brighter than ever. In 1970, originally from Southern California, Ken Grossman joined friends on a cycling trip down the North Coast of California, but first made a stop in Chico to check out Cal State University with his childhood friends who were enrolled at the college. He fell in love with the town and the Northern California culture and decided to move to Chico. Ken opened a homebrew supply store in downtown Chico, simply named The Home Brew Shop. As he and fellow homebrewer Paul Camusi got more into the craft, Grossman’s brewing became more and more elaborate, and, soon enough, people were eager to sample his new brews. In 1979, Grossman began planning a new small-scale brewery based in Chico. He took the name of his favorite hiking grounds in the nearby mountains and decided to launch Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. In 2005, Sierra Nevada added a third Brewhouse – this time, a small, 10-barrel brewhouse built to the exact scaled dimensions of the main production Brewhouse – for conducting small-scale brewing, research and development, and limited release beers.
SKA BREWING CO. Through a love of drinking and brewing beer, and listening to ska music, Ska Brewing was born. Hailing from Durango, Colo., Ska Brewing’s 10 microbrews have brought home more than 20 national awards since their inception in 1995, which makes them a brewery not to be missed while in Durango. The partners of Ska Brewing Co. have done a little bit of both with the opening of the new “world headquarters” for the home-grown Durango brewery known widely for its award-winning hand-crafted beers, including the flagships, True Blonde Ale, Pinstripe Red Ale and Ten Pin Porter.
STEAMWORKS In 1996, Steamworks Brewing Co. caused a stir around Durango as Kris Oyler and co-founder Brian McEachron transformed what once had been a circa 1920s motor works into a brewpub. Today, after all the trials and successes, the brewpub is a thriving local business, a respected employer, and Steamworks beers have earned numerous national and international awards. Steamworks’ culinary program is unmatched in the region in both breadth and quality of offerings. Their “gastropub” fare includes regionally-raised meats and sustainable seafood. Healthy salads, delicious pizzas, spicy Southwestern-style dishes, and vegetarian and gluten-free offerings provide something for everyone who’s hungry.

CARL DALLAS & JENNY ROGERS
MARTY SMITH
Carl Dallas and Jenny Rogers have been cooking up barbecue and competing for just about 15 years and it is something they love to do together. Dallas described their barbecue as Texas-style. “Jenny does all of the work and I get to do all of the cooking. We’ve got a pretty neat deal going,” he said. Dallas works in oil and gas sales while Rogers is a sales representative for Peek-A-Boo Yearbooks, but their passion is cooking. “We try anything and everything,” he said. He is excited to be a part of the BMB Festival, because it has the makings of enjoyable event. “I love the fact that we’re utilizing Lions Wilderness Park. That is such a fabulous facility,” Dallas said, adding that he is happy to expose more people to the park through this event.
Marty Smith began three years ago smoking meats and cooking up barbecue as a hobby. He will participate in his first cookoff competition during the BMB Festival. “My cooking has elevated to where my family said I ought to cook,” Smith said, adding he began looking into competitions, and even visited a few of them. He decided to participate in this festival under the team name “Lost in Smoke Barbecue,” because he will use a pellet smoker that is sanctioned for big-time competitions such as those put on by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. “I bought a new smoker, and it produces a different taste,” Smith said. “I’m excited about this. It’s a people’s choice competition and I want people to taste my food and get their reaction,” Smith said. “I hope people like my food.” When Smith is not cooking he works at his men’s clothing shop D & M Big and Tall, but he spends a lot of time developing recipes that burst with flavor. “I have a passion for good flavor and good taste,” he said, adding his interest in barbecue meats piqued after reading about the science of meat and how different flavor profiles come out when meat is cooked at different temperatures. He enjoys barbecue cookoffs and would like to bring a sanctioned competition to the area for the many local cooks who are part of a barbecue cookoff fraternity of sorts. “This will be an amazing event,” he said of the BMB Festival. “I hope people come out there and enjoy it.”
JEREMY HUGHS Jeremy Hughs is an oilfield mechanic who has been competing in barbecue cookoffs for one year. Hughs is a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying barbecue. It has more than 15,000 members worldwide and more than 400 barbecue contests across the U.S. Hughs makes a barbecue that is a mixture of Kansas City style and Southern style. “I’m looking forward to getting my name out there during the BMB Festival, and making people happy,” Hughs said.
KENT HUTCHENS Kent and Kim Hutchens have been cooking up their own signature blend of barbecue for three years after building a trailer and starting their business, Big Belly Barbecue. Kent describes his barbecue as “delicious” and a combination of all types of barbecue. “Mine tends to be a sweet, dark barbecue sauce,” he said. Kent has participated in some competitions, but he and Kim are sanctioned and certified by the Kansas City Barbecue Society as judges. “We went to Albuquerque and took an entire class on judging barbecue,” he said, adding that when judging barbecue he looks at the way it looks, the tenderness of the meat and the taste. Kent is looking forward to competing in the BMB Festival, and said, “There’s only going to be good barbecue there.” Kent and Kim make it a practice of cooking in these types of festivals and competitions, because they enjoy the people. “I’ve cooked with quite of few of these people, who have been cooking the circuit and we really enjoy cooking together,” he said. They are not competitive, helping each other out and cheering each other on to the win. The BMB Festival, he believes, will be supported by the community. “People are hungry for events like this,” Kent said.
RICK NELSON Rick Nelson is a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society and last year competed on the barbecue circuit throughout the region. He participated in five competitions in New Mexico, Telluride, Colo., and in Kansas. “There’s a competition every weekend,” he said, adding that he likes to keep it local. A regular at the San Juan County Fair Barbecue Cookoff, Nelson said he would like to see more barbecue cooking competitions in Farmington, including those sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. “I’d like to see some of the guys on TV coming into Farmington,” he said. Nelson looks at his cooking as a hobby, like any other activity outside of his work in the service department at Ziems Ford Corners. “You can build a race car or you can do this,” he said. “The reward is just a good time.”
SEAN MCATASNEY Sean McAtasney is a self-proclaimed Mr. Mom who cooks for his wife and two daughters, and makes some of the best barbecue around without being a cookoff competitor. McAtasney, however, decided to pit his Southern Alabama barbecue ribs against five other competitors at the BMB Festival. “I’ve been cooking barbecue from Sonoma, Calif., to Louisiana and in New Mexico,” McAtasney said, adding he has picked up cooking tricks from all over the country. McAtasney wanted to be involved in the BMB Festival because he believes it is a great event for Farmington, and it is something he would like to see continuing to grow. “I enjoy everybody else’s barbecue,” he said. “It’s nice to go out and see what other people are doing.” He wants to enjoy the music and the food, and leave with a “full belly and a beer.

brews LITTLE MISS CHEVIOUS Odessa and Emmy Lou Covey grew up watching their father, Jimmy Covey, play rhythm guitar in a band. They wanted to follow in his footsteps and finally have the right chemistry to make it happen. The Covey sisters will open the BMB Festival with their new band Little Miss Chevious, a cover band that performs everything from country to alternative and classic rock. Little Miss Chevious will take the stage from 11 a.m. to noon at Lions Wilderness Park Amphitheater, where they will perform a variety of songs. Odessa and Emmy Lou perform harmonizing vocals, while Odessa plays the resin guitar and Odessa plays the bass. Their band is rounded 11 a.m. out with Joe Poynter on drums, and Mark Smith playing the keyboard and to saxophone. Both men joined the group noon a couple of months ago. “We’re plugging right along and it’s going good,” Odessa said. Odessa and Emmy Lou have been singing together for years, and even had a different band before Little Miss Chevious, but Odessa said their performances were not “clicking” and they were not ready. Now, they want to start with the BMB Festival and keep moving on up. “I wanted our performances to be close to perfect,” Odessa said. “This festival is going to be a big thing for us.”

bands BOOMTOWN
Boomtown is just getting started as a new band of five musicians that came together in February to make music. “We play a little bit of everything – borderline blues and rock with an element of funk and jam as well,” said Dominic Chavez, a guitarist and vocalist. Chavez and many of his band mates have performed with other well-known Four Corners bands, most notably the popular 1990s group Outalyn, which received acclaim and succeeded in recording an album before break- 12:30 p.m. ing up in 2008. to Then Chavez, along with Outalyn founder 1:30 p.m. Cam Rahall, began performing as 90 Proof Pill, with Jeremy Cordell and Reuben Gallop. Rahall died in 2012 and the band members decided to take a year off and regroup. Boomtown is the new incarnation of these musicians
and vocalists. Chavez, who has always played guitar and provided vocals, carries on that tradition with Boomtown, while Cordell provides the lead vocals. Gallop is the drummer, and Boomtown is rounded out with Justin Brown on guitar and providing vocals, and D’Laina Chavez is on bass. “After our year off, we decided to go this new avenue with Boomtown,” Chavez said. “We’re getting started.” They have performed at Wines of the San Juan and Highway Grill, and Boomtown is looking forward to an upcoming event in Moab. Boomtown members also are very happy to be included as one of the bands in the BMB Festival. “It’s a great thing for Farmington,” Chavez said, adding he was happy organizers booked all local bands. “This will expose the audience to hear some new music, and I hope everyone has a great time and makes the best of it.”
THOSE DEVILS Those Devils was started five years ago in Farmington by Dustin Moore and Kellen Dean. Moore was writing poetry and picked up a guitar to provide a background to his words. “I picked up the guitar to have something behind the poetry I was writing,” Moore said. He and Dean began putting the words to music and started performing in coffee shops with Moore singing and playing guitar and Dean providing the rhythm guitar as background. Moore wanted to develop a band because of his “love for music and my need to be heard,” he said. He and Dean were friends 3:30 p.m. with Austin Jacobs, a drummer, to who previously had performed with a metal band, and then 4:30 p.m. Brandon Crandel and Andrew Donald joined in with Crandel on lead guitar and Donald on bass. Those Devils, which performs mostly original music by Moore,
received a big break when they opened for Blues Traveler at Aztec Speedway. They had been performing at small venues such as Clancy’s and the 3 Rivers Tap Room. The big performance earned them several offers for gigs. “It was great. It was a big moment for us,” Jacobs said. Those Devils will perform now on the Lions Wilderness Amphitheater Stage during the BMB Festival. “It’s a great venue and we’re pretty amped on it,” Jacobs said. “We’re hoping a lot of people will come out and listen.” Those Devils will perform original songs by Moore, who said he really can’t describe his music. “We’re along the lines of country, rock and blues,” he said. “We’re a big mix. I can’t explain it – you’ve got to just hear it.” Moore said he and the band are excited to perform at the amphitheater and are thankful for a festival that provides a venue not only for local breweries but for local talent and artists.

re-enter the festival.
HELLO DOLLFACE Hello Dollface is a Durango, Colo.-based band that has played 400 venues in nearly every Western state from Texas to the West Coast. Now, the trio is on its way to Farmington to headline the BMB Festival. Hello Dollface will take the stage from 5 to 7 p.m. and perform several songs from their three self-produced CDs as well as new songs that will soon be released on their fourth CD. The trio came together in “band chemistry paradise” three years ago when David Rodriguez, drummer; Jesse Ogle, bass; and Ashley Edwards, vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist; met in Durango. Each of the band members had different backgrounds in music and in life. Rodriguez was a native of Texas and performed as “the beat behind the local small-town Latino-reggae inspired rock scene,” according to the band’s website. “Ogle was touring hard in the Northwest with his own Oregon-based electro-jazz-funk project, and Ashley Edwards was studying, living, writing, and traveling the Spanish coast to Scandinavian shores, Chinese and Vietnamese marketplaces.” When these three got together they “were magnetized together like elements sparking in the Four Corners,” the website stated. Hello Dollface was born and the band began creating music based in the five music styles of soul, rock, jazz, Latin and Reggae. “We’re drawing from all different genres,” Ogle said. They began playing covers of a variety of music, but with a writer such as Edwards, the band found a perfect lyricist to create their own sound with an important message. “We’re trying to write conscious lyrics – spread the word of
bettering our community and telling stories,” Ogle said. During concerts, Hello Dollface not only wants people to listen to the lyrics and music, but also to enjoy the beat and get out and dance. For this reason the band also chooses to perform some covers from band favorites – Bill Withers, Bob Marley, Led Zepplin, Michael Jackson, Allen Stone, Lykke Li and Feist. “One thing is certain, there will be some songs that have strict 5 p.m. structure, well-rehearsed lines, odd time signatures, and foto cused lyrical ideas. Other songs 7 p.m. will lend themselves to improvisation, groove and space for each note to have its upmost impact,” the website stated. Hello Dollface is hot off a tour of the West Coast, where the band began receiving some national attention. The band recently was contacted by a “next-level” manager with a prospect of moving toward a bigger touring scene. The band also was invited to apply for the Extreme Tour. “This is love at first listen,” Ariel Publicity’s Alec Cunningham said of the band. “If you haven’t heard Hello Dollface … this group is only going up from here and it would not be surprising to see them make it onto Billboard within the next year or so.” Right now, they are working on better video and distribution. “A lot of people have reached out to us – that have an interest in us,” Ogle said. “We are working extremely hard. We are a hard-working band, but also have good music.” When Hello Dollface is not touring, Ogle and Edwards spend time teaching music to children in Southwest Colorado. “We’re taking what we’ve learned and sharing that with our youth,” Ogle said.

For Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run is Saturday The Four Corners Law Enforcement Torch Run has teamed up with the Iron Order Motorcycle Club to raise money for San Juan County Special Olympics.

Denver’s rout of Oakland did the same for Denver’s running backs. Both Marshawn Lynch and Knowshon Moreno, two of the top scoring running backs a week ago, were rested as the blowouts developed. Sometimes what ends up looking like a great matchup is actually too good and your guy ends up sitting.

UNLV beat Central Michigan 31-21 and Western Illinois 38-7, but don’t let the numbers fool you. UNLV’s two losses include falling to Arizona 58-13 and, on week on, falling to Minnesota 51-23. UNM head coach Bob Davie used the bye week to get back to the basics and evaluate talent. “We are a functional program. The next step is to go and be a winning football program,” said Davie. “Every week is like gold to us. It’s a chance to develop younger guys waiting in the wings a little bit. We all wish it go faster but it doesn’t happen overnight.” Without a game on Saturday, Davie and his entire staff went out recruiting last weekend. Davie admitted the team is still looking for a solid starter at quarterback. They are

Murrieta the Aggies are averaging less than 9,000 fans. New Mexico State has lost 15 straight games and been beaten by a combined 20162 this season. So if the school is throwing out prizes as incentives to come to the games, does that mean they are essentially paying the fans to come watch the team? Go big or go home Remember all those big spreads in college football I talked about in this space last week? Miami, Baylor and Louisville had no trouble with the game day opponents. Check out these scores: Louisville beat Florida International 720, Miami beat Savannah State 70-7 and Baylor beat Louisiana-Monroe by that same 70-7 score. It marks the third straight game the Bears had at least 69 points. You think they’d get tired at some point! I know those games help some of the smaller schools fill their athletic budgets with six-figure paydays and it gives the BCS school an opportunity to use a punching bag to pad their stats in the com-
puter rankings. But these blowouts are getting out of hand. You could argue it’s a necessary evil – even the Lobos picked up $700,000 for their road trip to Pitt. Those dollars come in handy when you have to buy out your football coach (see Mike Locksley). UNM head coach Bob Davie doesn’t look at those games as guaranteed mismatches. “It happens in college football,” he explained. “It’s a humbling profession, particularly on defense. It can happen to a lot of people.” More than anything, Davie was shocked some of those games went to a running clock in the fourth quarter. “I’ve never heard of that.” “Those games you’re talking about involve some programs (FIU and Louisiana-Monroe) with some big wins,” Davie continued. “These are not the complete have-nots against the haves. Those numbers happen regularly now. People can just explode on you. I think it’s the nature of college football and someone can just catch fire. It’s a humbling deal.”

No. 1 parent mistake
Be a child’s parent, not their friend in spite of good upbringings. 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 they think the misbehavior of a toddler is cute, or they rationalize their failure to discipline at that critical stage by saying such things as “He’s only 20 months old, after all,” or “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
“The Dean Martin Show” used to have a novel way of introducing guests. “Dean was famous for not wanting to work too hard ... it was part of his charm,” a gentleman re-
marked to me during an elevator ride. He saw I had a copy of “Dean and Me” by Jerry Lewis, and said he was one of the show’s producers once upon a time. “He would come in one
day and shoot half of the season’s shows over the course of about eight hours ... so we would have to get all the scripts prepared, have all the entertainers ready to go that day, and it wasn’t always easy. Sometimes we’d be running around the back lots of the studio, grabbing any celebrity we could get our hands on and taking them right over, while we were shooting! “We’d put them behind the door of Dean’s ‘bachelor pad’ set, and he would open it and act all surprised by who was on the other end, only it wasn’t an act ... he was really surprised. We would pray he would recognize the other person, but he always did, thankfully.” The story checks out, but it doesn’t really matter ... it’s all part of Hollywood lore, and besides, everyone has that “elevator story” – the time the door opened

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 number 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 namby-pamby request, a petition made to the resident Prince or Princess of Petulance. It deserves to be ignored, which is what usually happens.
to reveal a sports star or celebrity or rich investor, etc. Here’s one that may or may not have happened: The elevator door of a Los Angeles hotel opens to reveal a stocky man with a golden coiff in a white turtleneck and navy-blue sport jacket. The two young, long-haired men - one of them swigging from a beer bottle – immediately recognize him as the 51-year-old owner of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner. The
Yankees have lost three straight games to the Dodgers in the World Series, and the guy wearing the Dodger hat decides to get fresh. “The Yankees are a bunch of chokers,” he chuckles. “And they play for a bunch of animals in New York.” “[Bleep] you, buddy,” Steinbrenner cracks from the side of his mouth, not making eye contact. The guy with the bottle cheapshots him, wacking him in the head with it. Enraged, Steinbrenner reels around and clocks him in the mouth with a left uppercut. As he crumbles to the floor, Steinbrenner throws two right hooks to the other
miscreant’s face. He hits the deck, too. Steinbrenner tidies up his jacket and hair and walks out into the lobby to meet his wife for dinner, leaving the two wallowing in a pool of blood and cracked teeth ... but only after he has a press conference to show his arm in a cast. “There are two guys in this town looking for their teeth,” Steinbrenner said. Funny thing is, we’re still looking for those guys. They’ve never been heard from again. Looks like they were the real quitters after all.

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

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 exceptions, including children who do well despite bad upbringings and children who go bad

Winch Up ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might need to get more facts to help you work out those problems with your new project. As always, a friendly approach shows the charming Arian at his or her persuasive best. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Information is what energizes ambition, and this is a good time for the ambitious Bovine to expand his or her range of knowledge and to be ready for the challenges that lie ahead. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good time to consider making some long-overdue decorating changes at home or in your workplace. A splash of color can help raise spirits, even on the grayest day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Learn more. Earn more. That's the formula for Moon Children looking to expand their career horizons. Investigate the best places to get those training courses you'll need. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your creative side helps gain attention for many of your ideas. But don't neglect the practical aspects involved in implementing their move from paper to production. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A health problem should not be ignored. The sooner you check it out, the sooner you can deal with it and then move on. Some job advice comes from an unlikely source. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A relationship takes an unexpected shift that could leave you puzzled and hurt. Asking for an explanation could help uncover the reason for this sudden turn of events. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your busy schedule has drawn down much of your energy levels. Restore them by spending a wellearned time out enjoying the arts -perhaps with that special someone. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Make that presentation with confidence. Remember: When you show you believe in yourself, it helps persuade others that you truly know what you're doing. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although you usually prefer doing things on your own, a group effort might be advisable at this time. Try to keep an open mind about suggestions from colleagues. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This could be a good time to reassess some of your recent decisions and see if any adjustments should be made based on facts that you might have just uncovered. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An emotionally charged situation creates uncertainty about the future of your relationship. Best advice: Talk things out while there's still time to reach a new understanding. BORN THIS WEEK: You tend to act on matters of principle despite what others might advise.
A while back I decided to build up my ranching reputation by improving my equipment. I purchased a 1997 crew cab GMC one-ton diesel with only 254,000 miles on it. I traded in a 74 oneton flat bed F350 with a winch, plus $4,000. I asked the used car dealer if I could keep the winch. He said it was the only reason he took the flatbed in trade! Cal told me his neighbor Jerry came by to show him his new purchase. A brand-spankin’ new ¾ton 4-wheel drive with payments of $600 a month over 5 years – but what Jerry was most proud of was a 20-ton winch with 50 feet of cable mounted on the front bumper. Jerry talked Cal into goin’ to check cows with him. It was a beautiful fall day in the Palouse country of Idaho. Miles of yellow pasture and wheat stubble, not a tree in sight. As they motored through the herd they noticed a cow with a lump on her jaw, one big tit and, what looked like a bundle of wire around one foot. Together these cowmen decided to catch her, tie her to a fence to remove the wire and maybe lance the lump. They rifled through his toolbox and found an old rope and a halter with no lead rope. Cal easily caught the cooperative cow and haltered her. Before he could get the rope attached, Jerry suggested that he hook the winch to the halter. It was just an excuse to play with his new toy. They pulled 20 feet of cable from the winch and hooked it to the halter. Jerry stood by the winch with the remote in his hand like Theodore Roosevelt in a backhoe about to take his first bite out of the Panama Canal – modern man vs. Mother Nature. The cow immediately pulled back and went ballistic! She raced to the right till the cable tightened and swung her around the pickup behind the right rear wheel well! She managed to take Jerry out with the cable, broke off the headlight, tore off the side mirror and bashed in the rear fender. As soon as Jerry arose, the cow reversed course and made the left side symmetrical. Jerry climbed on the hood, remote in

The family friendly floor plan in this home at 204 Road 3950 in Farmington makes room for five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The well-planned design of this home also allows for a large living room with a fireplace and large windows. The kitchen features an island with a cooktop, inset lighting and lots of cabinet space. It opens up into a dining area. The dining area has a great view of the backyard and opens up to the covered patio that runs the length of the house.

Ornamental grass
These plants bring movement and sound to your yard Ornamental grasses are a must have in any landscape. Ornamental grasses add two elements to the garden that are not normally achieved from other plants – movement and sound. Grasses look great against darker backdrops and they should always be planted where they will catch the morning or evening sun. Grasses add a significant vertical presence to the winter landscape and are commonly left standing until spring. For these reasons, grasses add year-round interest to the landscape. Below is a list of some of my favorite grasses. They come in all sizes and in many different colors, allowing a grass for any spot in the yard. Feather Reed grass (Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’)
This is by far the most
oat grass for a low-care plant with steel-blue color. It also has a perfect mounded habit and won’t spread and take over your planter bed.
ADVICE YOU CAN GROW WITH Donnie Pigford popular ornamental grass we sell. Feather reed grass offers a distinct upright habit (4 feet tall and 2 feet wide) that looks fantastic all winter long. Like many grasses, this tough plant tolerates a wide range of conditions. Looks great in mass plantings and works well as a centerpiece to smaller perennial plantings. Fountain grass (Pennisetum ‘Hamelin’)
A beautiful mounding plant, fountain grass offers a beautiful shape, as well as soft, feathery plumes that dance in the breeze. This small (2 feet tall and wide) grass is perfect for defining the edge of a

One of the most common grasses, maidengrass is big, beautiful, and easy to grow. It offers narrow, arching foliage (many selections are variegated; look for them to add more color to your landscape) and silvery plumes that are enchanting when the light catches them just right.
101 Ideas: Fight those kitchen ants yourself ? Or deploy a pro? Should you hire a pro, or tackle this job yourself ? Chip Wade of HGTV’s Elbow Room weighs in. Q: Ants have invaded
my kitchen. Now what? Chip says: Hire a pro. You can try a repellent like Raid first. Spray it along the baseboards
around the perimeter of your kitchen, as well as along the outside perimeter of your house. But if the ants keep marching back, call an extermina-
tion service, which should cost about $75 per session. The pros will target the problem area, and they’ll treat the perimeter both
inside and outside your house to prevent the pests from returning. In fact, you should have a service come at the start of each season. Different types of
bugs show up at different times, and this will ensure that you stay protected. Courtesy of HGTV Magazine

pique interest with local people,” said Sandi Harber, President, Friends of the Aztec Ruins, a non-profit organization that works in partnership with Aztec Ruins to raise funds for special projects. These improvement projects included building a fence along part of Aztec Ruin’s border, painting the visitor center, and building shade structures in the picnic area. “They actually create some good shade, and the roof on here resembles the way the prehistoric roofs looked like inside the (ruins),” said Larry
Aztec Ruins heritage garden is an improvement project that began a couple of years ago. The crops in the garden include sunflowers, corn, squash, and beans.
Aztec Ruins National Monument underwent several improvement projects this year and the public was invited to view these improvements during a September Business After Hours hosted by Aztec Ruins, Friends of the Aztec Ruins, and the Aztec Chamber of Commerce. Aztec High School Junior ROTC cadets volunteered to help with the projects from February until July. “I think (the improvements) are wonderful and will help not only draw tourists into the park, but I think it should also
These shade structures were constructed by the Aztec High School JROTC cadets during the summertime. The roofs of the structures resemble prehistoric roofs that are seen in the ruins.

ruins Turk, park superintendent. Cadets also removed a dilapidated orchard and chopped it into firewood, which was sold to the public by Friends of the Aztec Ruins. Cattycorner to the picnic area sits the heritage garden, a project that began two years ago. Inside the garden, vibrant colored sunflowers, cottonwood seeds, squash, beans, corn, and amaranth were planted by the Junior ROTC cadets and park rangers. “I grow all these crops based on the varieties that likely would have been here, but I also try to replicate how people would have farmed here in the Southwest and in Aztec,” said Dana Hawkins, park ranger. The crops planted in the heritage garden have been adapted and grown in the American Southwest for up to 1,000 years, according to Hawkins. “This is a fabulous result,” she said of the garden. Another project Aztec Ruins and the city of Aztec are working on is a trail system that will connect historic downtown to the ruins. “To get from downtown to the ruins, you have to get in your car and it is kind of out of the way,” Aztec Mayor Sally Burbridge said. “So by putting in trails and a bridge we can connect them and we will bring the ruins closer to downtown.” There will also be interpretative kiosks along the trails that will tell the community’s history. As a way to raise awareness of this project, the United States Department of the Interior recognized it as an America’s Great Outdoor Project. Only two projects in every state are recognized each year, according to Burbridge, and the trail system project is one of two recognized projects within New Mexico. “The whole concept is connecting folks to the outdoors,” she said. The trail system project is still in the design stages, but the bridge across the Animas River will be constructed this fall and the trails will be built beginning next spring. Aztec Ruins completes improvement projects every year, and next year JROTC cadets will help with the trail system, build additional shade structures, and relocate underground the power lines that are now above-ground.

Friday, September 27, 2013 TRI-CITYTRIBUNE
Nosey Nellie arrived home this week to find a huge box that weighed a gazillion pounds on her front porch, waiting for her to lug it in to the casita. NN has been known to order stuff online and have it delivered in a brown bag with no identifying addresses, logos, or markings that could identify what is in the package. NN’s online orders are from a company that only markets to a “select” audience. It’s a company NN discovered when she “visited” the Big House for a coupla months one time when she was wrongfully accused of being a “known associate” of Big Bertha, who had a cadre of actors/actresses who played different roles for the entertainment of visitors to Sin City. NN, herownself a talented and celebrated actress, was known to portray famous people for visitors who wanted to go home and tell their friends they enjoyed the company of said “famous person.” It was a good gig and NN kinda liked being Nurse Nancy, Maid Mandy, Bartender Barbie and Chatty Cathy. NN never, ever did anything illegal, immoral or fattening because NN has her standards, ya know.
So when the Feds broke into Big Bertha’s one night when NN was offering her best performance of Maid Mandy and handcuffed her and BB and took ’em to the Cell Motel, she wasn’t a happy camper. For starters, she didn’t get her “compensation” for that major, award-winning performance, and for the ’nother, the handcuffs had no bling on ’em, the food was not of the quality NN is accustomed to when she stays in nice motels, and the bathroom facilities were far less than adequate. Anyway, NN finds this big package on her porch and, since NN had not ordered anything from Big Bertha’s Best Bargains on Stuff You Won’t Find Anywhere Else On Accounta It’s “Used,” she checked to make sure it was dropped off at the right address. (Sometimes, NN has her packages dropped off at a neighbors in case the Feds are still trying to “locate” some “junk jewelry” NN ordered from BBBOSYWFAEOAIU, and she has been known to reciprocate and help a sista out if she needs her packages sent to NN’s. It’s all about being helpful and friendly and neighborly. Just sayin’. . . .) The package was addressed to Mojito, the Devil Kitten, and Oliver, the Cat Who Won’t Stop Talking EVER, and it was from an architectural firm
outta Mexico that specializes in Cat Houses. ’K, so NN has “heard” of Cat Houses, but has never known anyone who actually designs or architects or plans ’em. Curiosity gave NN a hernia, a back sprain and three broken faux fingernails when she hauled it inside to check it out. The DK (who doesn’t hear NN when she calls him to come in from the catio or when she finds a huge hairball he’s passed from one end or the ’nother, or when she’s cold and needs another layer of fur) heard NN shove that big box in from the porch and rushed to “help” her open it. NN has never seen a cat claw through four layers of heavy duty cardboard, three layers of foam padding and one legal sized envelope like the DK did. NN woulda caught it on her camera and put it on MeTube or CBay or ButtBook, but the DK didn’t give her time to find her phone in her bag, recharge the battery, and figure out how to video. Whatever. When the DK clawed the legal-sized envelope open, NN grabbed the “documents” and ran to the bathroom, shut the door and checked ’em out. The DK, unhappy that NN locked him out of the bathroom, decided to shred the carpet by the bathroom door to get even. The documents included an artist’s drawing of

a new Kitty Kondo the DK and the CWWSTE planned to build in the garage. A Kitty Condo that included refrigerated air, a flat screen TV, a Kitty Kare Chair that grooms, massages and reclines, and an enclosed litter box area that has a fresh air vent that provides a “smell free” environment for them when they do their “duty.” The only thing NN loved about the plans was the litter box area. The DK and the CWWSTE are important to NN and NN loves ’em, but their doo-doo does stink. Just sayin’. . . . NN finally opened the door to check on the DK, who was chaising in NN’s chaise, watching Cat Houses for the Discriminating Cat on CHGTV. When the infomercial for the architectural firm outta Mexico that specializes in Cat Houses came on, NN recognized Big Bertha right away, even though she was wearing that Kool Kitty outfit she wore when she was hostessing at Big Bertha’s Fun House for the Discriminating Vegas Visitor. NN found her phone, speed dialed BB and cancelled the DK’s contract for the Kitty Kondo and asked for the $4,000 deposit the DK put down, using a credit card NN “borrowed” from a “friend” and is used only for emergencies (bail money, new hooker heels and/or Maid Mandy fishnet stockings and aprons). The DK is pouting and has figured out how to set off the home protection “alarm” by jumping on the poor ole Oliver’s back and hanging on while Oliver does his Never Stops Howling and Screeching noises, that brings law enforcement,
the fire department and, unfortunately, NN’s parole officer, to the casita. NN is gonna beat that cat when she gets out of jail for not being able to pay her bail on accounta the DK maxed out that credit card on furnishings for the Kitty Kondo. Whatever. In other, way more fun, news this week, Cindy and Jeff VerHaar celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary this week, Revis and Myron Taylor celebrated their 50th anniversary recently, and Alice and Frank Gibson celebrated their 65th anniversary. Much love and best wishes to all of these couples, who are favs of NN’s and the best couples ever! Larry Mullins, proud father of Tom Mullins, celebrated a birthday this week. NN enjoyed the company of Natalie Spruell for dinner, saw Angie, Hailey and Doug Echols and Jimmy Hambrick at Franscisca’s, caught up with Kim Bell of Great Harvest (the BEST lemon blueberry muffins in the world come from GH!), saw Roger Sheak getting ready to head to work in the early morning hours, offers prayers to Jim Crowley and Barry Digman, had a great visit from Cheryl Sitton (who NN has finally decided to forgive for closing Bread From the Heart, just so’s ya know), who brought NN the latest mystery from Diane Mott Davidson (The Whole Enchilada, which CS says is DMD’s best yet), caught up with Dedi Switzer and Nathan Duckett, and had fun with Bloomfield’s First Couple, Scott and Tonya Eckstein and 1,500 of their closest friends at the Fireball Run. Jamie
Turrentine brought NN a T-shirt for the FR, which was super and Jamie is the BOMB. Jodi and Jimmy Brown are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, and Mary Ann and James Gipson are grandparents of a beautiful baby boy, Rhett, whose parents are Jennifer and Justin Morrow. The Morrows live in Alaska and Grandma Mary Ann spent a whole week there, bonding with the baby. NN guesses Mary Ann also had a little time for Jennifer and Justin, but grandmas have their priorities, ya know. Premier Property Management continues to help NN around her casita and she recommends ’em to her friends and people who are not yet friends but will be when NN meets ’em. NN had lunch with Carmen Martinez, shared information with Gayle Dean (who is still OK with the idea that NN and Judge John are a couple), touched base with Billy Huish, Lisa Martin, Nancy Sisson, Julie Rasor, Jake Foust and is looking forward to the Brews Meats Bands event Saturday at the beautiful Lions Wilderness Park. Oh, and NN heard from an old friend (who some would consider “eccentric” and NN says that with love), Bill Papich. NN also ran into crazy, wonderful Kit Doerfert and Diann Dye while enjoying a little retail therapy last weekend. Oh again, and did NN mention that Peyton Manning, who would love NN if he knew her, took NN’s beloved Denver Broncos to a third straight win and broke more records? Peyton Manning is the bomb, just so’s ya know. For reals.

at the movies DON JON
RUSH
Rating: R Synopsis: Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she's determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Rating: R Synopsis: Ron Howard teams once again with writer Peter Morgan on Rush, a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives. Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed-handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error.
CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 Rating: PG Synopsis: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation's hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood's genius is finally being recognized as he's invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester's right-hand-gal - and one of his greatest inventions - is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick). It's always been Flint's dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids - "foodimals!" 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!
PRISONERS Rating: R Synopsis: PPRISONERS, from Oscar (R)-nominated director Denis Villeneuve, stars Oscar (R) nominees Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal in a story that poses the question: How far would you go to protect your child? Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His six-yearold daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect's release. Knowing his child's life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?
BATTLE OF THE YEAR Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Battle of the Year is an international dance crew tournament that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul Dante (Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a Dream Team of all the best dancers across the country.

BAGGAGE CLAIM Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Determined to get engaged before her youngest sister's wedding, flight attendant Montana Moore (Paula Patton) finds herself with only 30 days to find Mr. Right. Using her airline connections to "accidentally" meet up with eligible ex-boyfriends and scour for potential candidates, she racks up more than 30,000 miles and countless comedic encounters, all the while searching for the perfect guy.
WE’RE THE MILLERS Rating: R Synopsis: David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids-after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
THE FAMILY Rating: R Synopsis: In the off-beat action comedy "The Family," a mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob. Despite the best efforts of Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert DeNiro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down.
THE WOLVERINE Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine in this sequel to the member of the X-Men's first solo outing. Mark Bomback and The Usual Suspects' Christopher McQuarrie penned the script, which takes its inspiration from the Chris Claremont/Frank Miller Marvel miniseries from the 1980s dealing with the character's adventures in Japan as he fights ninjas in the ceremonial garb of the samurai.
GROWN UPS 2 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.

INSIDIOUS 2 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: The famed horror team of director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye and Ty Simpkins in INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2, a terrifying sequel to the acclaimed horror film, which follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
PLANES
Puzzles on page A30
Rating: PG Synopsis: Dusty is a cropdusting plane who dreams of competing in a famous aerial race. The problem? He is hopelessly afraid of heights. With the support of his mentor Skipper and a host of new friends, Dusty sets off to make his dreams come true.
ELYSIUM
522 E. Broadway
Rating: R Synopsis: In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine manmade space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium - but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle.
