Signal policy debate continues
Council wants solutions Council talks in closed session to Pinon Hills traffic issue DEBRA MAYEUX about gift Tri-City Tribune DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune San Juan County made a gesture of kindness – to give the city of Farmington the building where the city’s Crouch Mesa Community Center is operating. This gesture led the City Council to enter a closed executive session during its Oct. 1 meeting to discuss the gift, despite Councilor Mary Fischer requesting it be addressed in a public session. When the rest of the Council did not agree and closed the meeting under the auspices of discussing an “acquisition of real property,” Fischer walked out of the meeting, saying she believed the move to be a violation of the Open Meetings Act. Fischer stated that the property was a gift, and with no money changing hands the closed session was not needed. Government entities can enter into a closed executive session to discuss pending litigation, contract negotiations and employee concerns in private. Real estate transactions fall under the contract negotiations category. “The Open Meetings Act does allow a public body to meet in closed session to discuss the purchase, acquisition or disposal of

FMS, local agencies set meeting to discuss new drug, alcohol trends DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune From Boozy Bears to Mollies, the Farmington Municipal School District wants to inform local adults of new drug and alcohol trends by area youth. The school district, in cooperation with the Farmington Police Department, Juvenile Probation, Child Protective Service, San Juan Regional Medical Center and San Juan County, will present Empowering and Informing Adults from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, in the Turano-Chrisman Theater at Piedra Vista High School. Seven presenters will share information about everything from drug and alcohol abuse to bullying and what your children might be watching on YouTube. “Some of this information is very shocking and eye opening – it’s things parents have no clue about,” said Traci Neff, director of San Juan County Juvenile Services. Empowering and Informing Adults started three years ago through a grant from Safe School Healthy Students. It was an informational

Land Use Code tabled
Commission will evaluate feedback from public meeting LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune San Juan County Commissioners agreed to table the adoption of the Land Use Development Code and will revisit it during a Dec. 3 regular meeting. The proposed code would create zoning regulations within the county, excluding the municipalities and tribal land. Commissioners agreed to delay the adoption of the code during an Oct. 1 regular meeting because they would like to hear more feedback from the public. As of October 2012, the
county has received 39 written comments regarding the code and recently has held a public meeting, on Sept. 11, to hear input from the citizens. “As a result of that meeting we are working on the feedback we received, and some modifications were suggested,” County Operations Officer Mike Stark said. Under this code, the unincorporated areas would be divided into several land use districts: residential neighborhood protection, industrial, commercial highway, and multiple-use. A

During her career, she cared for many patients and affected many lives. When she was 39 years old, Lincoln died from breast cancer. As a way to continue her legacy, in October of 2001 Lincoln’s family and the hospital formed the Cathy Lincoln Fund. The money raised during the Get Pinked campaign is donated to the Cathy
Lincoln Fund. Lincoln’s daughter, Jamie Lujan, said it is overwhelming to see the tremendous amount of support from the community every year during Get Get Pinked Pinked. “Just seeing how the section inside community comes together to take care of their own, that is the

gift real property,� said Erin Mufoletto, of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government. This “is intended to allow the government body to consider an acquisition without the risk of alerting those who could take action that would result in lost opportunities or greater cost to the public.� It also keeps the property owner from knowing an offer is being made and essentially bumping up the price of the property. In this instance there were no negotiations or
money set to change hands, because the county was making a gift of the building with no strings attached, according to San Juan County CEO Kim Carpenter. Farmington City Manager Rob Mayes, however, told the Council there were “terms� attached to the gift. Carpenter said the only “terms� he could think of would be that the city must continue to use the facility as a community center, because the building was constructed using Community Development Block Grant
Funds. “Why are we closing?â€? Fischer asked during the meeting. “It is my understanding, reading the paper, that this is a gift the county wants to give us. ‌ If there is no money exchanged, why can’t this be done in public?â€? Mayes said the city had every right to discuss the “giftâ€? in a closed session, as it has in the past with the “purchaseâ€? of other properties. Deputy City Attorney Jennifer Breakell agreed with Mayes, saying “The
city has closed to discuss acquisition of real property. It is an exception where we can close to discuss it.� While the city did have a right to discuss the gift in closed session, because a technical reading of the Open Meetings Act allows the government body to discuss an acquisition which encompasses the word “gift� in a closed session, the Foundation for Open Government, or FOG, said the preferred action would be to discuss something of this nature in a public setting.
his staff earlier this week to request a possible purchase or gift of a few acres of land adjacent to the existing community center. County Chief Operating Officer Mike Stark said he told the city if the land was an “important� part of the gift building, then the city could bring that up to the county and it would be discussed by the San Juan County Commission. The city of Farmington has yet to make a decision on whether it will accept the gift building or not.

trends presentation for parents of children in the school district with regard to crime, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse and other student-related topics. This year the focus has changed, and the presentations are open to every adult in San Juan County. “We want adults to come because it’s great information,� Assistant Superintendent Frank Stimac said. “We want adults to be aware of what is going on in our community – the latest drug and alcohol trends and the data.� The focus will be on local, statewide and national trends. “As we talk about big city trends, we want people to know that if it’s in Albuquerque, it’s getting closer,� Neff said.
The purpose is to touch on all of the trends and give parents enough information to know what to watch for in student activities, on their phones and on their computers. “We’re also going to address what parents have a right to do,� Neff said. Parents can search a child’s room, pull their schoolissued laptops and look at them and review their phone texts and emails. “Search their phones. Search their bedrooms. Search their cars – everything,� said Det. Michelle Delese, a school resource officer with the Farmington Police Department. Adults also will be given slang terms, so the texts and emails make sense. “Skittles is not just a bag

of candy,� Neff said, and Boozy Bears are gummy bears soaked in alcohol – with the recipe available on YouTube. These are the types of candid pieces of information that will be shared, along with a table showing drugs confiscated in the area. These drugs include Ecstasy, Mollies and Spice. “We felt it was time to put the facts out there for parents, and this is a good way to get information out and be honest,� Stimac said, adding that drug use and abuse leads to other crimes and behavioral problems such as theft, bullying and mental health issues throughout San Juan County.

“FOG would urge the public body to be more transparent than a literal reading of the Open Meetings Act might require it to be and discuss this during an open session. Or, provide additional explanation for why it feels it should not do so,� Mufoletto said in an email to the Tri-City Tribune. San Juan County discussed the gift in a public setting and will continue to do so, according to Carpenter, who also pointed out that the city contacted

Shutdown could wreak unintended economic consequences In the safety of their mountain caves, or maybe in concrete-walled suburban sanctuaries near the capital of one of our nominal allies, terrorist leaders are surely plotting their next attack on the United States of America. But those leaders of global terror lack the power to pull off the most menacing deeds of their vile fantasies: They can’t hit the United States government so hard it grinds to a paralytic halt. They can’t undermine the foundation of the entire global economy by weakening the mighty U.S. dollar. And they can’t transform the world’s economic superpower into a deadbeat nation that defaults on its debts for the first time ever. Meanwhile, in the safe sanctuaries of their congressional offices, leaders of the small but fractious Republican faction known as the Tea Party have been plotting at-
tacks upon the same target: the U.S. government. Frighteningly, they unintentionally may accomplish what the terrorists cannot. Already, they have transformed House Republican leaders into their personal hand puppets, manipulating them into shutting down the federal government on Tuesday. Now they’re planning to block, in a couple of weeks, the once-routine raising of the debt ceiling, which has always allowed the United States to pay its bills. Let us be clear: In their hearts, the Tea Party’s congressional leaders and their many followers are true patriots. They would be the first to battle any miscreant who launched attacks that would harm Americans. Yet, by their actions, misguided Tea Party patriots may trigger damage and dysfunction that terrorist evildoers would love to claim credit for causing.
MARTIN SCHRAM SCRIPPS HOWARD Intoxicated by their suddenly supersized clout, Tea Party leaders ignored urgent warnings from wiser conservatives. We are not talking here about sound bites from politicians playing partisan politics. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Bankers Association warned Tea Party leaders that their hopeless effort to defund the Affordable Care Act – commonly called “Obamacare” – would have negative consequences for ordinary Americans. “It is not in the best interest of the employers, employees or the American people to risk a government shutdown that will be economically disruptive and cre-
ate even more uncertainties for the U.S. economy,” the U.S. Chamber of Commerce warned in a Sept. 27 letter signed by 236 business organizations and trade associations. “Likewise, we respectfully urge the Congress to raise the debt ceiling in a timely manner and remove any threat to the full faith and credit of the United States government.” American Bankers Association President and CEO Frank Keating, former Republican governor of Oklahoma, was more blunt. He warned in a Washington Post commentary: “The respect and admiration that the United States and its institutions inspire around the
world are based on the certainty that when our nation makes a promise, we keep it. Unfortunately, Congress seems poised to undermine U.S. credibility at home and abroad by taking the extraordinary step of reneging on bills that our nation has racked up. Ordinary Americans will bear the brunt of the damage if our leaders don’t prevent the United States from defaulting on its debt for the first time in history. ... If our nation defaults on its nearly $17 trillion in debt, the harm is likely to be measured in hundreds of billions of dollars.” How much? The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office estimated that when Republicans merely delayed raising the debt limit in 2011, the uncertainty cost U.S. taxpayers $1.3 billion in increased interest costs that year alone. Then there are the costs
we pay in jobs – either cut or never created. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated 750,000 jobs have been lost since the sequester and its federal budget cuts began March 1. But the actual number is likely higher. During the 2012 battle over the sequester, federal agencies stopped hiring and contracting. And contractors, anticipating the cuts, canceled planned hirings a year before the sequester began. That is why the tea party puppeteers should rethink their knee-jerk rejection of warnings from savvy, sane fellow conservatives. Beware and be wary: Unintended consequences can wreck America’s still-fragile economic recovery. Martin Schram writes political analysis for Scripps Howard News Service.

Do online reader comments help, harm public discourse? Let’s talk about trolls: The rise of digital media over the last 20 years has given birth to a new phenomenon, online reader comments. Usually found at the end of newspaper or magazine stories online – perhaps on this very column you’re reading – comments often drive journalists and their readers crazy with misinformation, ugly vitriol and out-of-left-field accusations. This week, Popular Science magazine said it would no long allow comments, calling them a “grotesque reflection” of the media culture. Do reader comments damage democracy? Even if they do, is it possible to put them aside? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue. MATHIS: Here’s how the 21st century differs from its predecessors: The audience gets to talk back. That can be enormously frustrating for writers, reporters and editors who still aspire to be gatekeepers to public discourse. Many of

those professionals still long for a time when the public’s voice was largely limited to a few well-selected letters each day on a newspaper’s op-ed page. It was a less anarchic time, certainly, and the contents of those letters were much less mean than one will normally find under your average newspaper opinion column. In truth, the best comments sections – like society itself – offer both a large degree of freedom, as well as a guiding hand to sort out the racists, trolls, jerks, and other riff-raff who desire less to debate issues and exchange ideas and more to cause as big a mess as possible. They are vandals and bomb throwers – metaphorically speaking, of course. In real life, such folks are usually removed from polite company with
great haste. Such a strategy has helped The New York Times cultivate ever-better online comments, while blogger Ta-Nehisi Coates has found his writing and thinking sharpened by the daily conversation with his readers. The very worst – such as Philly.com, in Philadelphia where I live – appear to be untouched by any editor most days, except when editors there turn off comments on a story rather than have the vitriol go public. “Guiding hands” are also known as editors, though, and in this day of tighttighter-tightest belt-tightening among media companies, paying a person to help create a great comments section is an expense most publishers and editors won’t shoulder – which is why so many comments sections
appear to be rude and lawless places. Popular Science is shutting off comments because, at heart, it doesn’t want to see its reporting challenged. Even in a science setting, that’s not wise. There are ways to cultivate the best conversations with the best participants. It’s not a free-for-all or nothing. But you do have to let the audience talk back. BOYCHUK: Popular Science made the right decision to end comments, but for the strangest of reasons. If the editors said anonymous commenters debased the quality of discourse at the site with their silly snark, many readers would have grumbled, but they likely would have understood. Besides, people have no shortage of online outlets where they may snark freely. Instead, Suzanne LaBarre, PopSci’s online content editor, explained that readers were trying to change public opinion with malicious aforethought. And that sort of behavior simply could not be tolerated.
“A politically motivated, decades-long war on expertise has eroded the popular consensus on a wide variety of scientifically validated topics,” Labarre wrote. “Everything, from evolution to the origins of climate change, is mistakenly up for grabs again.” It should go without saying that experts don’t know everything, and that “popular consensus” has no place in science. Alas, so much of the obvious needs repeating these days. Our discourse is a mess and most online comments are probably a waste of time. But the consensus on both of those propositions – and much else – is far from clear. A century ago, the consensus among reputable scientists held that the theory of continental drift was “utter damned rot” and anyone who “valued his reputation for scientific sanity” would reject the idea. Today, continental drift is taught as basic geography. Today, we’re also told that 97.1 percent of scientists agree on the causes of global
climate change. Well, the latest report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is out, and the forces of “consensus” have a problem. Turns out, the global warming that so many computer models predicted hasn’t occurred in the past 15 years. Scientists disagree why, though many still insist man-made carbon emissions are likely to cause catastrophic problems. If the evidence doesn’t bear out the models, then the models are wrong. Maybe the hypothesis is wrong, too. And if the hypothesis is wrong, maybe we should think twice before letting experts reshape the way we live. Maybe the consensus is “utter damned rot” – and more people should say so. Ben Boychuk is associate editor of the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal.

traffic “I think that is quite telling that communities our size and communities in the state of New Mexico are not going through this process,” City Councilor Jason Sandel said, questioning city Manager Rob Mayes’ and Mayor Tommy Roberts’ motivation for a policy mandating traffic signals. “Why are we hiding behind a policy and guidelines to hide behind a vote for signalization at an intersection,” Sandel asked. “To me, let’s have the political discussion. Let’s sit down have it out and be done with it. Now we have 15 pages of more regulations and more loopholes for people to jump through to have something happen inside of their community.” Sandel alleged that the city did not need a policy or guidelines unless Mayes and Roberts were “trying to avoid the real issue.” He asked the Council to

table the adoption of the policy and instead discuss the installation of a traffic light at Pinon Hills Boulevard and North Dustin Avenue. Councilor Gayla McCulloch agreed to table the policy’s adoption and the Council unanimously agreed. Mayor Roberts then made a motion to table the discussion about providing a signal at the aforementioned intersection. “It seems to me the action just taken on tabling the policy dictates that we table the signalization at this intersection. That policy if adopted should govern the intersection at Dustin and Pinon Hills,” Roberts said. The Council did not agree and the motion died. Roberts, however, pushed on in support of the policy, saying it would help the Council to determine whether the signal would be appropriate. “I find it odd that a member of an elected body
would call a proposed policy something to hide behind, when its motivation is to help staff deal with the political aspects of the issue,” Roberts said, adding that a poll of 54 area residents makes it appear that 66 percent of the population supports the signal. “If we were really interested in what people want who drive that intersection we would have a better feel for what people in this community would like to have.” City staff was asked to contact residents and businesses in the area of Pinon Hills Boulevard and North Dustin Avenue. Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell sent out a letter to 54 separate people and entities. The city received 32 responses of which 22 were in favor of light and 10 were opposed to it. The letter, dated Aug. 16, 2013, stated that while city staff was exploring the possibility of a lighted intersection, the intersection “does not meet the minimum

standards for a lighted signal, based on Federal Highway Administration guidelines.” It went on to say that those guidelines are used to “justify the need and expense for signalization.” Campbell stated that the cost for the signal would be approximately $350,000, which was an increase from the previous estimate of $250,000 for a signal at that intersection. The letter also asked if residents and businesses in the area would be willing to share the cost of installation. Campbell reported to the Council that Piñon Hills Community Church offered to pay $40,000, while some area residents also offered to contribute. They are Jerry Sandel, father of Councilor Jason Sandel, who told Campbell he would pay thousands; Deputy District Attorney Dustin O’Brien said he would contribute $100 and former Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director Jeff Bowman also offered to pay $100. San Juan Regional Medical Center CEO Rick Wallace offered to pay $500, according to Campbell. Roberts commented on “money being interjected into this discussion,” adding that Sandel found someone to donate money to fund the entire signal’s cost. “This begins to make my case for the need for a policy.” Roberts pointed out that the residents off of Hood Mesa Trail, where his home is located, might want to take up a collection to install a traffic light at the intersection of Hood Mesa Trail and Pinon Hills Boulevard, but that would not mean the light is warranted. “There should be a minimum objective threshold that gets us beyond that initial consideration – the question of why we are considering a policy – that is why we are,” Roberts said. “I don’t have objection to
any signalization at Pinon Hills Bypass. As a policy making body we need to have some guidelines – minimum thresholds that should be met before we move further.” McCulloch said the past procedure worked and asked if the policy were passed would it change how city staff perform their job. Public Works Director Jeff Smaka said it would not. “Staff has operated consistently based on the federal standards. I would speak in favor of having a policy,” Mayes said. He believes the Pinon Hills Boulevard corridor has been studied and does not meet the warrants for a traffic signal at the intersection of Dustin Avenue or Butler Avenue. “If Council wants to do something different, then of course you can,” Mayes said. “Staff will continue studies of regular intersections.” Harwick was asked whether he believed the intersection warranted a traffic signal and he said it did not, but he would study it further. “Watching the operation is different than the numbers.” He would look at it on Wednesday afternoon and evening to see how the intersection operates. Councilor Dan Darnell, however, pointed out that the real problem is on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings when there are church services at Pinon Hills Community Church and at First Assembly of God. “Sunday mornings, it’s incredibly crazy. Sunday evening, there is a tremendous amount of traffic,” Darnell said. “I look at those times when things are busy. … I look at that and I think something needs to be done.” He asked if a roundabout would be sufficient.
Harwick said that while he likes roundabouts, the entire corridor would have to have roundabouts to make one work. Harwick added that he fears putting a traffic signal at this intersection would lead to people just running the red light when traffic in the area is not heavy. He also believes the use of police officers directing traffic on Sunday mornings would still be needed to keep traffic flowing at Pinon Hills Boulevard and Dustin Avenue. “I went out and watched how we’re moving traffic on Sundays,” Sandel said in response to this. “While police officers are hired by a third party at this intersection, what I noticed is we move all of the church traffic, and others have to sit and wait for 10 to 15 minutes in most cases.” Sandel made a motion that Harwick study the intersection and come back with a recommendation to solve the problems there. “The last thing I want to see is a crash there. The church contacts me. My father contacts me. This to me is what is right for this community,” Sandel said. “What we ought to do at a very minimum – give direction today to ask for some type of a solution. … Let’s look for innovative solutions and ways to say yes instead of excuses to say no.” Councilors Darnell and Mary Fischer agreed with Sandel that something had to be done, but Councilor McCulloch said she could not vote with them if they “mandated” that Harwick come back with something, if his opinion was nothing could be done. The motion passed on a 3-to-1 vote, so the process to improve the Pinon Hills Boulevard and North Dustin Avenue intersection is moving forward.

Yxáà|ätÄ Distil, Majestic Media brings brew, bands and barbecue to Lions Wilderness Park LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The aroma of barbecued ribs and the sounds of clinking beer glasses filled Lions Wilderness Park and Amphitheater in Farmington on Sept. 28 during the first-ever Brews Meats Bands Festival. The festival was a partnership between Majestic Media and Distil and it
was a huge success, according to Majestic Media President Don Vaughan. “It was absolutely amazing. We heard comments from people saying, ‘This is the best event Farmington has put on in decades,’” said Vaughan, adding the reason the BMB Festival was so successful was a combination of the venue, the popularity of microbreweries and barbecue,
The six barbeque teams that competed in the BMB festival were cooking their ribs in the early morning, hours before the festival even begun.
and the “community ’s hunger for entertainment that is more engaging.” There were 14 microbreweries participating in the festival including Sierra Nevada, O’Dell Brewing Co. from Fort Collins, Colo., Alaskan Brewing Co., and the local 3 Rivers Brewery. Vaughan pointed out Distil Owner Jake Foust’s knowledge for microbreweries was a huge contribution to the festival. “Distil has the most micro-brew sales in the area. (Foust) is the best in the business in that sense, ” Vaughan said. To accompany the brews, there were six different teams cooking up delicious barbecued ribs and handing them out to the wide-smiling guests. The team that won the “People’s Choice” for best barbecue was Sean McAtasney and John Gillen from Farmington. “This has been fun. I love doing this and seeing the people smile,” Gillen explained. “For us, this was our first competition, but we have been smoking barbecue for a long time,” McAtasney added. The team won a $500 prize with $250 being donated to the LIVESTRONG Foundation and Catholic Charities in Farmington. Most of the cooks at the festival have mastered

A9 smoking barbecue. “I have been doing this for 10 years,” said Carl Dallas, a local resident who represented team Big Country BBQ. “I just love this. I love the location and being outside.” Dallas’s teammate was Jenny Rogers from Farmington. While people wiped barbecue away from their faces and chatted with their friends, they also could listen to several local bands play throughout the day. These bands included Little Miss Chevious, Jose Villarreal, Boomtown, and Those Devils. The headline band that took the stage in the evening was Hello Dollface, a Durango, Colo.based band that has played 400 venues in nearly every Western state from Texas to the West Coast. “These are amazing local bands that have no venues to play in for the public to go see,” Vaughan said. “The venue made this event successful. The city of Farmington was instrumental in helping that happen. They know (Lions Wilderness Park) is a great venue and it is not utilized and they want it to be utilized.” The festival was a huge hit, according to the guests. Kevin O’Neill from Farmington said he enjoyed the beer sampling and listening to the bands. “This is a fantastic venue and I hope they have it again next year.” Amber Aasen-Frakes from Farmington echoed that, saying, “This is something that is different and new to Farmington. We would like to see this every year in Farmington.” The BMB Festival will be an annual event with the 2014 festival occurring on Oct. 11 at Lions Wilderness Park. Vaughan said he also is considering organizing a BMB Festival in the springtime.
There were more than 700 people who sampled beer and barbeque ribs and listened to live music at the BMB Festival at Lions Wilderness Park.

Fine Arts Invitational
John Grow’s oil paintings on display at Henderson Center The 2013 San Juan College Fine Arts Committee Invitational will feature Durango artist John Grow and his collection of oil paintings titled flora before, at the San Juan College Henderson Fine Arts Center Gallery, Oct. 11 through Nov. 8. The exhibit will open with a reception

How serious is it? I found lumps and bumps on my pet Your pet seems fine, and then all of a sudden, a new lumpy, bumpy mass pops up on his body, seemingly overnight. Sometimes these lumps and bumps can be caused by wounds, but other times they can be warts or other types of growths. Whatever the reason for them, they’re among the top ten reasons owners head to the veterinary hospital. And that’s a good thing, since sometimes a simple swelling can be a sign of a dangerous but treatable disease. The only way to be sure is by going to your vet and letting them assess the new development. Veterinarians often refer to superficial lumps and bumps as “masses.” Strictly speaking, they might also be legitimately called tumors or growths, even if they’re not cancerous. These words simply describe enlargements under or within the skin. Most of the time the lumpy, bumpy mass is in or just under the skin, or sometimes even in the mouth. Your veterinarian will be able to differentiate these lumps from other masses, such as bony swellings and abdominal distention, which are a different sort of thing. Most superficial lumps and bumps are caused by one of the following: 1. Puncture wounds: These injuries – usually the result of bites from other animal – fester beneath the skin’s surface to form an abscess, swelling (sometimes tremendously) before eventually breaking open. 2. Benign masses: Warts, skin tags, fluid-filled cysts, fatty tumors (lipomas), and histiocytomas are all examples of benign (non-cancerous) masses that may or may not need to be removed. 3. Cancerous tumors: These are the scariest of the three culprits, because simple removal may not solve the problem. Cancerous tumors can spread – sometimes locally (to skin, fat, bone, or muscle next to the original lump) and sometimes to distant parts of the body. Here are some simple actions you can take to help your pet heal: 1. Assess your pet: If he appears to be feeling well and if the mass isn’t red, painful, or giving off a strong odor, you’re likely not dealing with an emergency, but you should go ahead and make an appointment with the vet. If the pet is lethargic, has a poor appetite, or shows any other signs of illness, then you may be dealing with a more urgent situation. 2. Mark the mass: If the mass is small and hard to find, mark the hair immediately adjacent to it with an indelible marker or a tiny bit of nail polish to make it easy to find at the veterinary hospital. Smaller masses get “lost” every day.
It’s your veterinarian’s job to figure out the origin of the mass. To do so, he may take several of the following steps: 1. Ask about your pet’s history. Your pet’s doctor will probably ask evaluation questions such as, “When was the lump first noticed? How
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson has it changed? How has your pet been otherwise?” and other questions to help determine the severity of the problem.
2. Perform a physical examination. The look and feel of a mass can offer a veterinarian plenty of information. But examining your pet from
head to tail can be similarly beneficial and is therefore considered an essential step, even when investigating a seemingly simple skin tag. 3. Fine needle aspirate the lump. Inserting a needle into the mass is a very common practice. It’s done with the hope of extracting a few telltale cells that can be identified under the microscope.
In the case of an abscess, the fine needle aspirate would typically identify the presence of a large “pocket” of pus. Sometimes, the microscope slides are sent to a diagnostic laboratory for further examination. Unfortunately, aspirating a lump only tells you what the cells looks like in

Should the Lobos expect to beat the Aggies? Bob Davie says no. I say yes. The University of New Mexico will host New Mexico State Saturday night at University Stadium. For Lobo and Aggie fans, it’s the game of the year. Win this one and you have bragging rights for the next 365 days. Davie this week was asked if this was a tough game to prepare for because, “if you win, you’re expected to win,” by the District soccer begins this week as the non-district season winds down in football and volleyball. Cross country teams hit the road this weekend as district and state tournaments are just a month away. Time flies, so get out and enjoy the weather and some great high school sports matchups.
Week No. 4 in the books and the bye weeks begin as the season hits the first quarter mark. Bye weeks are always tricky. Some people draft to avoid having multiple players on the same bye week. Others try to get players with the same bye week and take a oneweek hit in the standings. Still others don’t really care and muddle through. Put me in the last category. Looks like I’ll be paying the price week No. 8. Each week the Fantasy Geek will give you some unsolicited advice on playing NFL Fantasy Football.

What an exciting week it was for participant Patrick Gregoire of The First Tee of San Juan County, NM. Gregoire spent last week on the Monterey Peninsula playing golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links, meeting past PGA professional golfers such as Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer, and spending time with other participants at the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Gregoire was one of 81 participants who were selected out of more than 150 nation-wide applicants based on his golf résumé, life skills knowledge, philanthropic community work and essay answers. Arriving into Monterey on Monday, Gregoire played practice rounds at Del Monte Golf Course and Pebble Beach Golf Links, leading up to the tournament on Friday. On Wednesday evening, Gregoire found out he would be paired
FIRST TEE Tom Yost up with Dan Forsman of the PGA Champions Tour in the professional-junior best ball golf tournament. With his older brother Taylor as his caddy, Gregoire teed off on Friday morning with Forsman and shot a 5-under par round of 67. Gregoire struggled a bit with club selection, as the ball was not traveling as far as usual at sea level as compared to the thin air of the Rocky Mountains. With the top 23 projunior teams getting to play in the final round on Sunday at Pebble Beach, Gregoire and Forsman shot a 4-under par round of 68. Their total of 9 under par was good enough to make the cut and ensure that they would play in the final round together.

On Sunday at Pebble Beach, Gregoire and Forsman tied for the low round of the day with a 5-under par round of 67. Their score of -14 was good for a tie for 6th place with the winning score coming in at -18. Forsman also finished in second place in the professional side of the golf tournament with a score of -9. “Pebble was extremely tough,” explained Gregoire. “The greens were so hard and fast. Even (Bernhard) Langer said that it was the toughest he had ever seen the golf course play.” “This has been an unbelievable experience,” said Gregoire. “Mr. Forsman was an incredible partner. It is tough to put into words what this has meant to me.”

Murrieta be looking at a different tape and standing on that field last year. I must have been looking at a different group of guys in those maroon shirts. Expected to win? I don’t think so. We’re scratching for everything we can get.” Davie might have been using typical “coach speak,” or maybe he really believes that. But in reality, Lobo fans DO expect to beat the Aggies every year in football. They have history on their side. UNM doesn’t have a lot to brag about in recent years. Prior to Davie’s arrival, the
team won three games total in a three-year period. But over the course of this rivalry, UNM has dominated the series. UNM has beaten NMSU twice as many times over the course of the century-long series. NMSU hasn’t won four in a row against UNM since the ’60s. When Rocky Long was head coach at UNM, he lost to NMSU only three times – and trust me, those three losses still stick with him. He made it a priority every year – UNM doesn’t lose to NMSU. The last coach in Albuquerque, Mike Locksley, was never able to
beat the Aggies and he was run out of town. Now, I’m not going to say losing to NMSU was the reason Locksley was fired, but it didn’t help his cause. Even when UNM was terrible in the Locksley era, it was a shock when the Aggies came into Albuquerque in 2011 and pounded the Lobos 42-28. The Aggies scored on their first three possessions, it was 21-0 in the first quarter and everyone at University Stadium wearing cherry and silver was asking, “What just happened?” Even most recruits will
tell you the Lobos are expected to beat the Aggies every year. New Mexico State recruited current UNM quarterback Cole Gautsche. He actually committed to play for the Aggies – that is until Bob Davie arrived in town. Davie convinced Gautsche to change allegiances and play for the Lobos. That’s just what Gautsche did. UNM has better facilities, they’re in an established conference and located in a city with more options. NMSU isn’t easily accessible for recruits, the Aggies are an independent football
team without a conference, and is a program with a losing tradition. Even in other sports, the Lobos have dominated the Aggies this year. New Mexico State has yet to beat UNM this year in women’s soccer or volleyball and in men’s golf. The Aggies have a new head coach in Doug Martin. It seems as though he is trying to change the culture in Las Cruces, establish a winning tradition and getting the fans in the stadium. In reality, NMSU is winless without much signs of life right now, playing in front
of empty benches, and there isn’t a conference that will welcome their football program. Let me be clear, I’m not a UNM alum. I didn’t break down in Las Cruces and harbor some sort of ill will toward the Aggies. I have no dog in this fight. I’m just a realist. If the Aggies beat the Lobos on Saturday, it would be a huge boost for their program and an even more devastating loss for UNM. So should Bob Davie expect to beat the Aggies each year? Yes. Will they? Talk to me Saturday night.

Lost in an elevator Last week we recounted the story of the time New York Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner was accosted in an elevator by two hooligans in a Los Angeles hotel. Legend has Steinbrenner emerging victorious and expecting a lawsuit that never happened. Seeing as how Mr. Steinbrenner has slipped this vale of tears, I wondered if the muggers would come clean all of these years later if asked. Enlisting the help of my favorite insider source for anything New York, the talented and pretty "Yankee
SPORTING VIEW Mark Vasto girl," we began our search with a few Craigslist postings and a few calls to the hotel where we thought the Yankee owner might have been staying. The incident happened in 1981, so we knew the trail was going to be pretty cold. These days you're lucky to get a hotel room if you talk to someone at the front desk, so you can
imagine the challenge we had when a research assistant with a Brooklyn accent called to ask if anybody from housekeeping remembered cleaning blood and teeth out of an elevator more than a quarter century ago. "I don't know," she persisted, ignoring my orders to cajole information out of him with sweet dulcet tones. Instead she bludgeoned him with a loud mouth full of ham. "Got any old people working there? Or sumthin', Mistah?" Meanwhile my part of
the investigation into the case of the real Steinbrenner muggers wasn't going so well either, the least of those reasons being that I was in Philadelphia. The beat reporters at the time say they were skeptical the event ever occurred, but Yankee trainers said that the injuries he received were consistent with those usually received in a fight. In other words, he didn't appear to scrape his knuckles on a stucco wall in the lobby. Either way, consensus is that Steinbrenner ginned up the story a bit in order to look like a
hero in an attempt to spur his Yankee team to a championship. I did get some leads from guys who had an uncle who knew a guy that knew the Yankee trainer's assistant type stuff, though. "No! Listen! I swear ‘dis is true! Swear it! OK? My dad was on an elevator with Reggie Jackson in LA, and these two women came on, and Reggie Jackson was walking his dog, right? So he tells the dog to 'sit!' and the women are so afraid of him that they sat!" I also learned that the
same thing happened to Walt Frazier, Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlain and Eddie Murphy in an elevator, too. Sometimes Reggie buys them dinner, sometimes they go to bed with Chamberlain and sometimes they get tickets to Eddie's show at the Apollo the next night. I also learned that Hall and Oates met on an elevator in Philadelphia. Some mysteries are best left unsolved.
county-wide campaign.” The county certainly gets involved during the month of October, from the city of Farmington throwing a carnival to the “Pink Glove Dance,” which involved filming groups of people and local businesses performing the
same dance while wearing pink gloves. This was a nationwide competition and in 2011, San Juan County placed 8th overall out of the 142 videos involved. As a way to spread the message about the breast cancer awareness campaign, the Get Pinked chairs visit businesses and speak with organizations. Last year, Aztec Mayor Sally Burbridge; Cindy Roberts, Farmington Mayor Tommy Robert’s wife; and Tanya Eckstein, Bloomfield Mayor Scott Eckstein’s wife, were the Get Pinked co-chairs. Eckstein said it is an honor for her to be a Get
Pinked chair once again this year because it is a rewarding experience. “My favorite part is probably the people I meet and just seeing how the community comes together. I love my town of Bloomfield and they do so much for the size that they are – they really come out.” Eckstein is an ER nurse at San Juan Regional Medical Center. She worked with Cathy Lincoln at the hospital and now she works with Lujan. “I didn’t know (Lincoln) that well but we worked on the medical floor together. She got sick shortly after I started as a nurse. She was someone who was an
influence to me and was respected by her coworkers. It was sad for everyone when she got sick.” Roberts also will act as a Get Pinked co-chair this year. “I am happy to do it. It is a good thing for our community, and it gets us all together,” she said. More awareness about what the Cathy Lincoln Fund does for uninsured or underinsured community members is what Eckstein hopes to accomplish this October. “The more we get the name out there the more people they can help stop the cancer before it gets to a point that can’t be helped.”
considering making agriculture a separate district. “They are working on a finished document and we will have another public hearing to hear more feedback.” The land use code has become somewhat of a controversial topic because people’s land uses could change if the zoning regulations are implemented. At the September public meeting, protestors spoke to commissioners on how the code could infringe on their rights. “At the last public hearing there was a group of vocal individuals. Has there been any attempt to talk with them? Maybe they have legitimate concerns,” Commissioner GloJean Todacheene said. “I have reached out to those individuals and tried to get them to provide us with constructive feedback,” Stark explained. He added one purpose of the code is to “bring together” the various county ordinances in place, such as for subdivisions and RV parks. “It is a scattered process and we have had engineers bring this all
into one document so it is easy to read and find.” Todacheene answered that it is important for citizens to provide input so they don’t become disgruntled about the proposed code. “You have people who are proactive and other citizens can sometimes be negative and look at it in a way where they are the hurt party. I think they need to provide their input, because I wouldn’t want them to become angry.” The county’s “ears are open,” Stark explained. “If you are completely against zoning, let us know and we will put those comments into written form so we can take action on that. We are open to constructive feedback; that is what we want to hear.” County staff is planning to have another public meeting. Stark said the date has not yet been set because it depends on when the consulting company completes a revised land use code.

Daniel Woods for the expedition of a lifetime. High Tension: Ueli Steck and The Clash on Everest features the story of Ueli Steck and Simone Moro, who were climbing on Mount Everest when they were attacked by a crowd of angry sherpas. Fearing for their lives, the climbers fled the mountain, and the incident sparked a flurry of gasps and angry recrimination. REEL ROCK was embedded with the climbing team and given an exclusive look at what happened that day and why. Spice Girl tells the adventures of Hazel Findlay, the first woman to climb the British grade of E9
(super hard, super sketchy). Having mastered the scrappy sea cliffs at home, she teams up with Emily Harrington to tackle the massive, untamed bigwalls of Taghia Gorge, Morocco. The StoneMasters is a feature documentary about the counterculture climb-
ing scene in Yosemite over the last 50 years. The film brings all the legends to life: from Royal Robbins’ epic battle with Warren Harding to the fabled drug plane crash of 1977 and escalating tensions between climbers and national park rangers.
The REEL ROCK Film Tour brings the best climbing and adventure films of the year to live audiences throughout the world. Founded in 2006 by groundbreaking filmmakers Josh Lowell (Big UP Productions) and Peter Mortimer (Sender Films), REEL ROCK has grown to over 400 events per year, reaching more than 100,000 audience members.

Fall means fertilize
Work now stores nutrients, creates stronger root system in spring As temperatures begin to drop, leaves begin to change color; plants start the process preparing to survive another winter. Fall is the most important time of year to fertilize lawns, trees, shrubs, roses and perennials. This might seem weird to some, but you have to realize the process that plants go through during a season. During the spring and summer plants are going through the most active growing stage. Plants are growing leaves and pushing new growth because of the long days and warm temperatures. With these conditions in play, the plants are going through photosynthesis, and striving for the ultimate goal of cre-

ating food. This food is then transferred into the stems, branch-
es, leaves and flowers. The ultimate goal of plants this time of year is to produce a
viable seed or fruit with the purpose of reproduction. Fall, however, is a different story. As days shorten and temperatures cool, plants begin a different process to prepare for winter. With the realization that freezing temperatures are on the way, top growth ceases and the goal now is to store up energy to survive a long winter. This stored energy is important for the plants ability not only to make it through the winter, but to push new
growth in the spring, thus starting the process all over again. With cooling temperatures outside, top growth slows and eventually ceases completely; however, underground roots begin to grow. It is this unseen process that is the most important process of all. Plants are only as strong as their root systems. Roots are vital in the uptake of nutrients and water to feed the vegetative growth we all see. Without a good root system, plants will be weak and insect- and diseaseprone. This is why fall fertilizing is the most important fertilization of the year. It adds
in the growth of a bigger, stronger root system and provides the stored nutrients for next spring’s growth. Apply winterizing fertilizer to lawns and all plants now to insure survival and increased health next season. For people who continually deal with alkalinity problems (high pH), now is a great time to add a granular soil acidifier to problem areas. The granular acidifiers will be worked into the soil with fall rains and winter snows, helping adjust the pH and creating better growing conditions next spring. Alkalinity problems normally cause leaves to yellow and burn around the edges.
On campus housing
San Juan College studies plans to build more than 400 units DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune San Juan College is considering the construction of residential housing on the northwest corner of the campus in an undeveloped area. This was the message Vice President for Student Services David Eppich brought to the Farmington City Council during its Oct. 1 work session at city hall. The college initiated a study for residential housing on campus and realized there might be a need to offer housing facilities to maintain a steadily growing student population. When students were polled about needs on the campus, Eppich said, 95 percent of students were interested in campus housing and 91 percent believed housing important to attract future students. The college has experienced little growth in student population in the past few years and has considered marketing itself to students in Colorado, where the graduation rate is expected to increase by 20 percent in coming years.
The current population already travels more than 40 minutes to get to and from San Juan College, and students have complained that there is a lack of “student-friendly leases” in Farmington, Eppich said. “We’ve heard some stories of what our students are living in, in Farmington, and they are not conducive to retaining students at the college,” he explained, adding that while the college is researching the possibility of student housing, it has not made a commitment to build any units at this time. “We are in a process to see whether we are going to do it or not, and this presentation doesn’t mean the college will build residential housing,” Eppich told the Council. If the college did decide to move forward with residential housing it would concentrate on building single student housing communities that would consist of 326 beds in four-bedroom apartments or 224 beds in four-person units and 102 beds in six-person units. The prices would range
from $350 per month for a shared bedroom to $425 per month for a private bedroom. The rent would include utilities, Internet, cable television and furnishings. This complex would cost approximately $30 million to construct and there would be additional campus services needed for on-campus students, Eppich said. “There are a number of things we have to consider as we move forward with this. It is not just a build them and fill them. It is not an easy task. There is some complexity to residential housing if you do it correctly.” The school would have to consider additional staffing and service hours for its library and gym. There would be additional services such as food services, health and counseling, student activities, judicial affairs and multicultural affairs. There also would be a need for additional security. “We’ve had a brief conversation with the chief of police, where there could be a contract issue for public safety with the city of Farm-
ington,” Eppich said. The other issue is how to finance construction. It could be built using revenue bonds, bank financing or using an independent management group that would come in to build and manage the facility. Mayor Tommy Roberts asked whether “outsourcing” the residential housing might be the best idea. That is possible, but with a two-year college the stakes are higher than with a fouryear university that offers doctoral programs. “There’s a lot of opportunity at less risk on campuses other than San Juan College,” Eppich said. Roberts also asked if the college would consider moving forward with residential housing because of the School of Energy and its international student draw. The student housing
could be used for international students as well as those coming in for multiple weeks to take part in training exercises at the School of Energy. In the absence of residential housing, the college rents blocks of hotel rooms to accommodate the students. “The best option is residential housing, so you can guarantee X number of beds for trainees coming in for a week or two,” Eppich said. Councilor Mary Fischer
suggested the college also consider rooms for the disabled and senior citizens as well as other non-traditional students. “As the population is aging we should be rethinking traditional students,” she said. Eppich said the college will continue to discuss the possibility of residential housing. “We will continue to gather more information,” he said. “We will continue in discussions with our board.”

Improvements unveiled Staff has input into SJRMC Rehabilitation Hospital upgrades LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Hospital to reveal the improvements made to the facility’s interior. The facility was constructed in 1989, so it was time to make several upgrades, said Sue Clay, program director of the Rehabilitation Hospital. “We were living in an aging facility so – as with any facility – you want to maintain your premises and update the look and make it more comfortable for the patients.” Many of the improvements resulted from staff input. The upgrades include new flooring, cabinets, and paint throughout the facility. The amount of visiting space also was increased for patients’ families, and a new kitchen area was added. An old, four-bed room was converted into a large private room and sinks were lowered to accommodate those in wheelchairs. “Everything was updated and we gave more attention to making it more comfortable for people who use wheelchairs,” Clay explained. “We did that by changing the angles and giving

staff, and families,” said Jamie Church, a board member who has spearheaded the landscape project. “Once a patient leaves here, they are not just inside, but they are outside walking on different surfaces, whether it is grass, flagstone, or gravel. So we hope to incorporate those elements out here so patients, through their rehab process, can work outside and gain those skills for when they leave here.” Church added the project will begin this winter with the help of donations from community members. The Rehabilitation Hospital helps 90 percent of its patients get “back into the community,” Clay said. “I was fortunate to be here when we opened this facility and ever since that time, I find it such a joy to come to work every day with a great team of people we have. They are all dedicated to helping our patients improve their lives so, instead of just being alive, they can go out in the community and live, work, and play.”

It is beginning to show its true colors.” Dewey Scholten is a former patient of the Rehabilitation Hospital. In 2012, he experienced an accident and broke several bones. “This couldn’t be any better than what it was,” Scholten said about the renovations. “I can’t say enough about the care they give you here.” Along with the interior renovations, the hospital’s board also is looking to improve the landscape. At the ribbon cutting ceremony, a rendering of the landscaping plans was available for people to view. “What we are looking to do is follow the lead with the beau- Barbara Cole, Rehabilitation Hospital’s board chairman, speaks to guests at a ribbon cuttiful outside spaces that the ting ceremony for the hospital on Oct. 2.
Investigative reporting, education writing
Tri-City Tribune wins awards at state newspaper contest The Tri-City Tribune was honored by the New Mexico Press Association during its 105th annual convention Sept. 28 at the Tamaya Resort and Spa in Bernalillo. Tribune writers Debra Mayeux and Margaret Cheasebro won awards in the Weekly Division One category for weekly newspapers across the state of New Mexico. The Tri-City Tribune was up against a large number of weekly newspapers including the Valencia County News Bulletin, the Las Vegas Optic and the Las Cruces Bulletin, among others. The contest is merged
between the New Mexico Press Association and the New Mexico Associated Press Managing Editors, and it received 1,777 entries, making it the highest turnout in contest history. The Wyoming Press Association judged the entries. Mayeux earned a first place award in the Investigative Reporting category for Deep Dark Secret: Convention and Visitors Bureau embezzlement.
This was a collection of stories that spanned a oneyear time frame during which Mayeux delved into the criminal records and multiple boxes and notebooks of evidence in the embezzlement of nearly a half million dollars from the Farmington Convention and Visitors Bureau. During the investigation, Mayeux worked with the Farmington Police Department to gain access to evidence of the crime
as well as evidence in the suicide death of the prime suspect, Debbie Dusenbery. “I would like to thank the community that supported my efforts in finding the truth in this case,” Mayeux said. “I also thank the city of Farmington Police Department for taking its time to share the evidence and public records with our office.” The judge commented on the fact that Mayeux used multiple sources in her reports and they said that made for better reporting of the facts. “It was very exciting to hear the judges’ compli-
ments of my reporting, and it was honor to know that they appreciated my hard work on this subject,” Mayeux said. This was Mayeux’s fifth investigative reporting award from the New Mexico Press Association and the Associated Press. She has won for looking into such issues as access to public records, the rate of child sex crimes in San Juan County, the state’s criminal libel law, the New Mexico Title and Escrow closing and the CVB embezzlement. Cheasebro, an awardwinning feature writer, earned a second place
award in the Education Writing category for her story Back Where It all Began: Pendergrass Returns to San Juan County as President of San Juan College. Cheasebor enjoyed interviewing Dr. Toni Pendergrass. “It was a real pleasure. I enjoyed that interview a lot and it was fun to do,” she said. “It’s an honor to win second place in the New Mexico Press Association contest, because there are so many people who compete,” Cheasebro said. “It’s nice to know I can be successfully competitive on that kind of level.”

Friday, October 4, 2013 TRI-CITYTRIBUNE
Nosey Nellie thinks the President and Congress should be the ones in the “time out” corner, not the rest of the whole entire country. NN is not a political activist (although one time, she did stay at a Holiday Inn Express and participated in a protest to give the Coffee Party the same political clout as the Tea Party, just so’s ya know. NN was handcuffed during that protest but mostly on accounta her hooker heels got caught in the hem of some nice law enforcement officer’s pants,
which caused the pants to fall down, which made the ’nother law enforcement officers decide NN was trying to “defame,” “disrespect” and “depants” the officer, which, apparently somewhere, is a violation of someone’s code. Whatever.) and NN is a consistent voter. NN prefers to vote absentee on accounta there are certain laws that prevent NN from voting under her own name, so she is forced to “borrow” the names of others and that’s easier to do when they can’t see your face or ask your age, take your fingerprints, or ask how many lives you think you have. Just sayin’. . . . NN believes in our political system and respects those who are elected to

serve, believing those elected to serve know how to play nice on the playground and share their toys in the toy room. Unfortunately, this week, NN has been disillusioned by our elected officials and has decided they should all be suspended without pay and must forfeit the rest of their terms and can never run for any political office again, ever, ever, ever. NN also believes those elected officials were prob’ly nice, reasonable people at one point in time. She believes that when they were first elected to public office, they really meant to do good things and stay above the fray and not get caught up in egos, poor judgment and really, really bad common sense. NN isn’t sure when/how that determination to be the flame that beckons and encourages great civic duty was snuffed out, but NN thinks it’s time those people get called home (if they haven’t forgotten where “home” is – that being the state they were elected to serve, even though most of ’em don’t actually live in that home anymore) and be

forced to live the lives of the people who are out of work on accounta they and their “colleagues” can’t play nice. They should have to live without that almost $200,000 annual salary, the free lunches, dinners, adult beverages and “business trips,” health care, retirement and the up to $1.32 they receive for “mileage.” (The last time NN checked, those of us who are not elected officials get 44 cents a mile.) Not only that, but members of Congress also get a Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA) that provides them an average of $1.35 million each year to pay for “personal expenses” that they use to pay their staff, who can make up to $168,411 each year. NN would think she’d died and gone to Hooker Heel Heaven if she made 168 thou a year. But the staff people who make that kind of money do it the hard way – they havta analyze stuff, research stuff, schedule stuff and write stuff – sorta like the rest of us do on a fraction of 168 thou a year. Just sayin’. . . . Not that NN begrudges the staff salaries. After all NN has read about members of Congress this past week, those staff people havta put up with those elected officials, who have forgotten what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. ... So, NN thinks every single member of Congress should be suspended without pay, go into the Dale Carnegie Rehabilitation Center, and never, ever again get a free lunch or dinner or adult beverage or $1.32 mileage. NN thinks they all need to check their egos at the door when they leave their Washington offices and have to fly coach to get home, where they will have to find their own baggage, have someone other than a chauffeur pick ’em up, and have Three Buck Chuck and a Happy Meal for dinner. They need a reality check, a smack on the back of the head and a talkin’ to. They need to go to their room and not have

dessert for a year and have to write “I’m sorry I was not a reasonable, responsible and compassionate elected official” for as many hours as the combined pay will be for those who can’t work because said elected officials refuse to do their jobs. So there. NN has spoken. Too bad no one will listen. Story of NN’s life. Whatever. On a much happier note, NN enjoyed the Brews, Meats and Bands event held at Lions Wilderness Park last weekend. Lotsa people packed the amphitheater and the picnic area, enjoying great music, great ribs and great beer. NN is not much of a beer drinker, but the nice servers at the Distil beer booth suggested an apple cider beer that took NN about 12 glasses to determine if it was good or not. It was good and NN has now decided that, in addition to her wine crawl space, she needs a beer bunker, too. NN is nothing if not resourceful and open to suggestions of good adult beverages. NN likes to think of herself as a free soul, although those protests NN “watched” during the ’60s don’t necessarily refer to her as a “free” anything, based on the number of hours she spent in handcuffs and solitary confinement. Whatever. NN was “working” the BMB, so wasn’t out and about getting to see everybody, but she did note Jimmy Davis, Melissa Sharpe, Richard Gurry, Mason Warren, Meghan Sandbothe, Terri Acosta, Carol Carson, Gerald Snodgrass, Allen Kruse, Justin Durrett, Michael Grinnell, Marci Lunt, Errol Boode, Sherry Curry and Matt Graves, Kelly Townsend (NN wondered where Kelly’s beautiful wife, Eleanor, was. . . ), Gayle Dean, Natalie Nygren, Sheri Rogers, Hannah Davis, Bruce Milton, Greg Eckstein, Robb Farrow, Catherine Nelson, Scott Thiele, Connie Dinning, Elaine Harder, Mario and Sonia de la Cruz, Nichole and Chad Triplett, Ken and Whitney Stevens, Josh Bishop (taking photos and doing a heckofa job), and Suzanne Thurman’s uncle,Mark Dunster came from Tacoma, Washington, (who loved the hospitality and the fun BMB provided!). NN was disappointed that Michael Douglas wasn’t there, since there have been so many MD sightings in town lately. NN wrote MD a fan letter once that was confiscated by the Hollywood Mafia Group, who “informed” NN that you can’t say or write lewd or lascivious things to MD on accounta he’s not “that kind.” NN has always believed she would be the perfect arm candy for MD, but he met Catherine Zeta-Jones, who pretty much put the sprinkles on arm candy, so NN lost out. Whatever. NN received a special bracelet from a member of
Those Devils, who played at BMB. NN is pretty sure that bracelet means she’s a for reals groupie of Those Devils, although the nice young man who gave it to her didn’t really indicate that. NN thinks TD are the bomb and even though NN is a coupla years older than most of ’em, she enjoys their music and thinks that nice young man is attracted to NN, but didn’t want to admit it in front of a crowd. NN is a dude magnet, just so’s ya know, and men of all ages are drawn to her but are afraid NN is such a catch they’ll never have a chance, so they never ever approach NN again. That’s prob’ly why the nice young man from TD ran like a man possessed when NN suggested they get together and “sing a few songs” later. Whatever. People had birthdays this week, including Bradley Huish (who LOVES Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Elliott Sadler and the Lennon Sisters, just so’s ya know) who turned 15; Peyton Stock (the cutest little girl ever!) turned 1; Jack Thompson, Brian Chapman, Richard Mahan and the beautiful Tonya Eckstein all celebrated with friends and fam. NN just wasn’t one of ’em. Just sayin’. . . . Amy Riley was a beautiful bride as she married the handsome Wilbo Harrell, and her amazing and equally beautiful mother, Anna, and her equally handsome father, George, were all smiles and full of love and happiness. NN loves love and happiness. Just so’s ya know. Carmen Martinez was honored recently as the 2013 State Star of the New Mexico Small Business Development Center. Carmen is one of NN’s besties and does a heckofa job at the SBDC. Carmen is one of those truly amazing people who doesn’t seek the limelight, but does an exceptional job and really truly does shine like the star she is! Congratulations, Carmen! NN gives a shout out to buddies Dedi Switzer, Ken Johnson, Judy Hare, Kit Doerfert, Vicki Thille, Brenda Shepherd, Carrie Olson, Cheryl Sitton, Cherry Church, Connie Shulz, Walt Taylor, Lynn Scott, Marj Steffen, Sherrie Large, Anne Almquist, Shelly Acosta and Debbie Israel – all amazing and wonderful people who NN is proud to call “friends!” Oh, and NN MUST mention that her beloved Peyton Manning (who would love her back if he ever took a minute or two to read the love emails she sends, just sayin’. . . .) took her equally beloved Denver Broncos to another recordbreaking win. NN bleeds blue and orange, and once had a Bronco bathroom that only Bronco fans could use. Everyone else hadda use the tree out back. NN is nothing if not loyal. . . . .

at the movies GRAVITY
RUNNER RUNNER
Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: GRAVITY, directed by Oscar (R) nominee Alfonso Cuaron, stars Oscar (R) winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone.
Rating: R Synopsis: Richie, a Princeton college student who pays for school with on-line gambling, bottoms out and travels to Costa Rica to confront the on-line mastermind, Ivan, whom he believes has swindled him. Ivan sees a kindred spirit in Richie and brings the younger man into his operation. When the stakes get incredibly high and dangerous, and Richie comes to fully understand the deviousness of his new boss, he tries to turn the tables on him.
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).
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.
DON JON Rating: R Synopsis: Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she's determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
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.

METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER Rating: R Synopsis: Award-winning filmmaker Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll) creates a groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event, Metallica Through the Never. The music-driven feature film combines a bold narrative and spectacular live-performance footage of one of the most popular and influential rock bands in history to produce a bracing, raw andvisceral cinematic experience. Emerging young star Dane DeHaan (The Place Beyond the Pines, Kill Your Darlings, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) portrays Trip, a young roadie sent on an urgent mission during Metallica's roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena.
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.
RUSH 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.
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.
RIDDICK Rating: R Synopsis: Riddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
PERCY JACKSON Rating: PG Synopsis: Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, continues his epic journey to fulfill his destiny, as he teams with his demigod friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which has the power to save their home and training ground, Camp Half-Blood.

Woodson the spots accessed by a small needle. It can’t be 100 percent representative of every cell within the mass’s confines. That’s why your veterinarian may also recommend an incisional biopsy. 4. Perform an incisional biopsy. In this procedure, a small bit of the mass is sampled. The tissue sample is then submitted to a diagnostic laboratory for examination. Your veterinarian will choose one of several methods for obtaining the tissue sample, but your pets will likely need to be sedated or anesthetized briefly for this approach. 5. Perform an excisional biopsy. This method increases the chances of making a definitive diagnosis, because it involves removing the entire lump (at least what the veterinarian can see and feel) and submitting the tissue
to a diagnostic laboratory for examination. If a diagnosis can be confirmed, your veterinarian can give you the most accurate information about prognosis – what to expect long-term for your pet – and treatment. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and will range from no intervention to minor surgery to something much more involved if the lumps or bumps are caused by a serious medical condition such as cancer. A side note on inflammation: Dogs, as they age, get many lumps and bumps and, in general, possibly 90 percent are benign! Cats, on the other hand, rarely get tumors and when they do, 90 percent of the time they are malignant!

Girl Scouts enter Artifacts’ decorated bra show this year The eighth annual Unhooked: A Decorated Bra Show opened Oct. 1 at Artifacts Gallery in Historic Downtown Farmington. It features hand-decorated bras that will be voted on and then sold, with all proceeds benefitting the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund. The show began in 2005, when gallery owner Bev Taylor
and local artist Ardis Jacobson got together and borrowed the idea from another community. The pair began planning and founded the Unhooked show, making it unique to Farmington by naming the Cathy Lincoln Fund as the beneficiary. “All artwork is donated,” Taylor said. This year’s participating artists are Fran Mayfield,
Maria Kompare, Tabatha Rhodes, Julane Jensen and Evelyn James, and the Girl Scouts. “The whole troop did 20 bras,” Taylor said. Taylor puts a price tag on the artwork, and then the public has an opportunity to buy a decorated art bra. If the bras do not sell, they are donated to San Juan Regional Medical
Center. “The bras are very often used in outreach programs to teach women about preventive health care.” In addition to the bras there is photography and some decorated art pieces. There also is a show of paintings featuring women by Kyle Ragsdale, the curator of the Harris Center for the Arts in Indianapolis,
Ind. Taylor titled this show, Variations on a Theme. The show runs through Oct. 19 at Artifacts Gallery, 302 E. Main St. The gallery is open from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. For more information call Artifacts at 505.327.2907.

Renowned landscape painter
Curt Walters official Get Pinked artwork DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Curt Walters is known as the Grand Canyon artist. Throughout his career he has found multiple ways to capture the canyon on canvas. He is a renowned landscape painter, and one of his original works has been donated to the San Juan Medical Foundation as the official Get Pinked artwork for the 2013 fundraising campaign. Sargent Point is an original painting based on an earlier work titled September at Lake O’Hara. In addition to this piece, Walters, a native of Farmington, is allowing the San Juan Medical Foundation to make posters of his painting Mom’s La Plata Gar-
den, which will be available for sale. Walters grew up in Farmington and often visits his home in La Plata, which inspired the poster artwork. He is a graduate of Farmington High School and has been the friend and mentor to many of Farmington’s local artists, including Rod Hubble, another landscape painter. Walters resides in Sedona, Ariz., where he is surrounded by Southwestern beauty and is close to the Grand Canyon – his great inspiration as an artist. He first visited the canyon when he was 19 – and fell in love. “I get the same feeling today as I did that first time, 35 years ago,” he said in his biography. Walter had only been
Mom’s La Plata Garden
Curt Walters
Sargent Point
painting for about four years when he first visited the canyon. He sold his first painting at the age of 15, after stealing his sister’s art set. Since that time, he has received national and international recognition. He focused much of his early career on the Grand Canyon and became involved in the 1990s with the Grand Canyon Trust to fight pollution over the gorge. By 1997, he was named the “Greatest Living Grand Canyon Artist” by Art of the West magazine, and he also was honored to be named the Official Artist of the Grand Canyon Trust. It was in 2007 that Walters entered a 36-by-28inch study of his home – Mom’s La Plata Garden – in the 2004 Prix de West
Art Exhibition. He also enjoys painting other beautiful landscapes such as a second Prix de West entry titled Trinchera Summer, which is of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Southern Colorado as seen from the Forbes’ Trinchera Ranch. He is a top American Western Artist who captures scenes from across the west,
but Walters also enjoys painting abroad, including in such places as Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Hungary and in Jordan. Each year, his artwork can be seen at many of America's top Western Art shows and he has been extensively honored with awards including the Nona Jean Hulsey Buyers' Choice Award; the Frederic Rem-
ington Award and the Prix de West Purchase Award. His work is collected by a number of public and private individuals and foundations, including the Forbes Magazine Galleries of New York and California, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, astronaut Frank Borman, Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford and Grand Canyon National Park.
Powder Puff Football
Bloomfield High game proceeds go to Cathy Lincoln Memorial fund LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The public can support breast cancer awareness during the Bloomfield High School Powder Puff Football Game at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, at the high school’s Bobcat Stadium. For the past three years, the Powder Puff game has raised money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund, a local fund that benefits underinsured or uninsured women. Half the proceeds collected at the game will be donated to the fund, which raised more than $4,000 last year. Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased at the game. “I think this is a positive community-oriented event. I think it is important for teenagers to be aware of breast cancer and it is our job to educate
them on it. Hopefully this event will continue to bring more awareness and provide money to women who are in need,” said Nicole Burns, a teacher at BHS who also organizes the Powder Puff game. The football game will consist of a team of senior girls and junior girls competing against one another. “The students didn’t have to be affiliated with a sport,” Burns explained. The coaches are BHS football players and during half-time, several male students will perform a dance. “This is a big deal and we treat it like an actual football game,” Burns added. At the game, the audience also has an opportunity to win prizes during a raffle drawing. The prizes include Tshirts and gift certificates to restaurants. “We encourage everyone to come out. It is a fun time,” Burns said.

Rockin’ country music
Little Texas will perform at Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree Little Texas is hot off its summer touring season and will head to Farmington for an Oct. 18 performance at the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree. The band is celebrating its 25th anniversary and will share in the Get Pinked festivities at the Farmington Civic Center, performing its signature rockin’ country music. Little Texas was started in Nashville, Tenn., in 1988 by musicians who spent three years performing in every bar and honky-tonk from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Los Angeles, Calif. They were known as the “hardest-working band in country music,” performing more than 300 shows a year before earning a recording contract. They received acclaim and a Top-10 hit with their first radio release Some Guys Have All the Love. From there, Little Texas just kept growing in popularity. Their first five singles topped the Country charts, and their second CD has sold more than 3 million copies. In those early years the band toured with such headliners as Clint Black, Travis Tritt and Trisha Yearwood, and by 1994 Little Texas received the Vocal Group of the Year award from the Academy of Country Music. The next year brought more recording and endless touring. The band also received two Grammy nominations. Their hard work paid off and Little Texas was a well-known rockin’ country band, but the years of traveling and performing led the group to take a break and go their separate ways. “At that point it was time for our loved ones to have us back for a while,” said Duane Propes, bassist and vocalist. Popes and Little Texas, however, are back together
and stronger than ever, with Porter Howell on lead vocals and lead guitar, Dwayne O’Brien on vocals and rhythm guitar, and Del Gray
on the drums. The band’s website states that these men have “rebuilt the franchise with a completely new sound.”
Little Texas released a new album in 2007 and received a good deal of radio play, and the band promises to continue creating
new music for their public in between tour dates. They will be performing in Farmington during the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree
on Oct. 18 at the Farmington Civic Center. Tickets for the event are $125 per person or $225 per couple.

Civic Center will host show to support Get Pinked LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune As San Juan County celebrates the color pink during the Get Pinked campaign. The Farmington Civic Center also will join the cause by bringing Pinkalicious The Musical to the venue. Pinkalicious The Musical will appear at the Farmington Civic Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26. Adult tickets are $15 and children’s tickets are $10. To buy tickets, visit www.fmtn.org/civiccenter. The one-hour musical, produced by the award-winning Vital Theatre Company, is based on the popular children’s book Pinkalicious by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann. The musical is about a character named Pinkalicious who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink
indulgence lands her at the doctor’s office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe. “This show is all about being pink so we thought it would correspond with the community’s Get Pinked campaign,” said Lisa Hutchens, Civic Center supervisor. “Pinkalicious is popular among children, and the community can support a good cause.” Local sponsors are paying for the musical to come to the area, so the proceeds collected from ticket sales will be donated to the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund, which benefits underinsured or uninsured women within the community who cannot afford cancer-related treatments, tests, or prescriptions. The Farmington Civic Center is located at 200 (L to R) Amber Dickerson and Travis Nunes in a scene from Vital Theatre Company's Production of Pinkalicious, The Musical. - courtesy photo W.

The city of Bloomfield is ready to Get Pinked with fundraising activities at various Bloomfield businesses and a few events that will be fun for the entire family. The Bloomfield Fire Department is once again sponsoring the third annual Get Pinked Walk and Run on Oct. 12. There will be multiple events this time, including a one-mile

Fun Walk and a 5K Run, but then there is a new event this year – the 5K Mud Run. “We like to get dirty, and we had a lot of people ask to do that,” Fire Chief George Duncan said of the Mud Run, which will consist of a lot of obstacles and, of course, mud. The event will begin at 9 a.m. Oct. 12 for the regular walk and run, and the
$25 for the Walk, $30 for the 5K Run and $35 for the 5K Mud Run. All proceeds will benefit the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund.

St. in Farmington. The registration fee is $25 and the last bike out will be at 12:30 p.m. This contest is open to motorcyclists 21 years of age and older, because it not only stops at various bars and alcohol sales establishments, but also ends at a bar. Motorcyclists will travel to a variety of stops, including Zebra’s, The Highway Grill and Wines of
the San Juan, with the event ending at the Wooden Nickel. They will be able to buy Get Pinked items at each stop for chances to win prizes.

Pink Glove Dance and Rally
Vote for the video; come dance at the rally LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune San Juan County community members have snapped on the pink gloves once again and are dancing to raise awareness for breast cancer through a Pink Glove Dance video. The Pink Glove Dance is an initiative of Get Pinked San Juan County, a breast cancer awareness campaign to raise money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund, which benefits uninsured or underinsured women residing in San Juan County who cannot afford cancer-related treatments, tests, or prescriptions In 2011, San Juan County’s Pink Glove Dance came in 8th place out of the 142 videos from other states and Canada. “What makes our video unique is how community oriented it is. I think 95 percent of the other videos take place in a hospital. Ours is more about the community” and involves local businesses and organizations, said Sheila Mobley, who organizes the Pink Glove Dance in San Juan County. For about a year now, Mobley and videographer Josh Bishop have visited
to tag it and pass it along. That is what we will need, is for people to share it and get their friends to vote,” Mobley explained. To vote, visit the website pinkglovedance.com. A $25,000 prize will be awarded to the video with the most votes. Then, the community has one last chance to wear the pink gloves during the Get Pinked Rally. Last year, the rally set a Guinness World Record after citizens performed the largest hustle dance with 444 dancers. This year, Mobley is determined to set another record by doing the largest Gangnam Style, a popular dance that was created by Psy, a pop icon from South Korea. Mobley said in order to set a record, there needs to be more than 1,000 people performing the dance. The Get Pinked Rally will begin at 5 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Farmington High School’s Hutchison Field. To learn the dance before the event, Mobley said she will post a video of the dance to the San Juan County Get Pinked Facebook page this Monday. In order to receive the video link, “like” the Facebook page.

City’s participation keeps growing
Buy Fire Department T-shirts; have fun at Get Pinked Carnival DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The city of Farmington has been the top money raiser in the past two Get Pinked celebrations during the month of October. This year it will be in the running again with a month filled with activities involving city staff from each department and fun for families throughout San Juan County. Farmington’s tradition of raising money for breast cancer awareness and treatment began several years ago, when the Farmington Fire Department decided to purchase and wear pink Tshirts throughout the entire month of October. The Tshirts became so popular people in the community wanted to buy them, and the department began selling pink T-shirts each October. “A lot of us had important people in our lives affected by breast cancer, so we jumped on the pink bandwagon,” Fire Chief Terry Page said. “We’re happy to play our part.” When the Get Pinked campaign began in 2011, the firefighters once again donned their pink tees and also offered them for sale, promising the proceeds to

the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund through the San Juan Medical Foundation. The department sells the T-shirts for $20 and hats for $15 and they are available at Fire Station 1, 301 N. Auburn Ave., or at City Hall, 850 Municipal Drive. Something changed in 2011, however, because now the entire city had a chance to participate and each department embraced the cause and had fun with
it. Each department decorated its office with a pink theme in October. City Councilors chose to wear pink wigs during a Council meeting, and the staff put on a carnival that provided fun for the entire community. The activities grew in 2012, and the city of Farmington’s participation keeps getting greater each year. “It keeps growing, which is pretty exciting,” said Lisa Hutchens, executive director of the Farmington Civic Center and event coordinator for Farmington’s Get Pinked activities. The events began on the first of October, when fire-
fighters began wearing their pink uniforms and T-shirts. Other city staff started decorating their offices and will continue to tweak those decorations until they are judged on Oct. 24. Also on Oct. 24, there will be a Navajo Taco sale at the city. Food is a big part of the fundraising activities, so there will be a build your own burrito bar from 7 to 10 a.m. Oct. 10 at the Municipal Operations Center on Browning Parkway. There also will be all types of food from barbecue to a bake sale and root beer during the third annual city of Farmington Get Pinked Carnival.
Big Belly Barbecue is donating food for the event and 3 Rivers Brewery is donating root beer. These food items will be sold with all proceeds going to the Cathy Lincoln Fund. The carnival is a big event that typically has been scheduled when school is out. There will be no school on Oct. 18, so city hall will be abuzz with carnival activities from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. These activities include carnival games, face painting, static displays of police and fire vehicles, the Get Pinked ambulance and a city electric utility bucket trucks with which children can take photos.
There also will be a new event – Treasure Your Chest – during the carnival. “We will have a treasure chest and kids can dig in it, while wearing a blindfold and pull out cool prizes,” Hutchens said. Also at the carnival, there will be firefighters selling pink T-shirts and police officers selling pink pig key chains. Hutchens said the community should expect a good time from the city during Get Pinked. “All of the employees together do a really good job of pooling their own resources, and putting on a great event,” she said.
Bow shoot
Hunting organizations team up raise money for cancer fund LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The New Mexico Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and the Four Corners Bow Hunters Association are organizing a bow shooting event to raise money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund. The event will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, behind the
Farmers Market in Flora Vista, or off of County Road 3535. There is a $20 entry fee and the shoot will consist of two courses. “All the entry fees that we collect that day will go to the Cathy Lincoln fund,” said Latisha Furtado, who is organizing the bow shoot. On each shooting course, 3-D animals of all shapes and sizes will
be available as shooting targets. Furtado said people must bring their own bows because bows will not be provided. This is a familyfriendly event and people participating in the shoot are encouraged to bring friends and family members. Pink camo shirts that say “Shoot for the Cause” will be sold for $10 at the event.

While being selected to sing in the state choir was an honor, Blackhorse wanted to take it one step further and audition for the national choir. Blackhorse’s audition was filmed and then sent to the National Association for Music Education. “This is a big opportunity and I’m happy for her. She is going after her dreams,” said Elverna Tsinnajinnie, Blackhorse’s mother. Tsinnajinnie will travel to Nashville with Blackhorse to watch the choir performance. The national choir will be a mixed choir with sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. Blackhorse said she looks forward to singing with women and men be-
cause she is only used to singing in an all-women’s choir. “This will be a huge experience to figure out how it is singing with tenors and basses. I’ve always wanted to try it out and now it’s happening. I’m looking forward to singing with them.” While in Nashville, Blackhorse will practice with the choir for six hours a day. However, she also will have time to experience the city. Students will attend a performance at the Grand Ole Opry and a Broadway Musical and also sit in on a songwriters’ session to get a taste of the industry. “I think it is pretty exciting,” Argotsinger said. “It will be a great opportunity.”

Improvements Aztec ROTC helps with improvements at ruins
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.
LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Aztec Ruins National Monument underwent several improvement proj-
ects 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 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 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.

$8.7M in appropriations vetoed
Navajo President signs Navajo Nation FY 2014 budget WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly signed the 2014 fiscal year comprehensive budget into law and line item vetoed at least $8.7 million in supplemental appropriations passed by the Navajo Nation Council earlier this month, which would have left $107 in the Undesignated Unreserved Fund Balance. “As leaders, we have an obligation to act fiscally responsible,” President Shelly said. “When the Shelly/ Jim administration took office, the Navajo Nation was more than $20 million in the red. I took the strong position that the UUFB should maintain $20 million above the minimum UUFB balance mandated by Navajo law, which could be used for emergencies and other unforeseen budget cutbacks.”
As part of the comprehensive budget, all general funded Navajo Nation employees are scheduled for a 3 percent wage increase; the Navajo Nation Area Agency on Aging budget will minimize layoffs; decentralization planning to bring more services to local communities
was funded at $3 million and $2.9 million was budgeted for the Land Department to establish a registry of land records on the Navajo Nation. “It is important to weigh and thoroughly consider all appropriations that utilize the Navajo People’s money. Especially with the current environment in Washington, D.C., it is important for us to make these wise decisions,” President Shelly said. President Shelly line item vetoed about $5 million in proposed spending from the UUFB and about $994,000 from the Personnel Savings Fund. “The Personnel Savings Fund and the UUFB are sources that depend on external conditions for funding. Those conditions can fluctuate each year and change
the amount of money we have in those accounts. Therefore, we must exercise great caution when budgeting money from these sources and follow all applicable Navajo laws regarding spending of the Navajo People’s money, ” said President Shelly. Most of the line items were vetoed because of failures to comply with budgetary processes outline by an executive order or the Appropriations Act, or the budget instruction manual. The following supplemental requests were line item vetoed: • $3 million from proposed infrastructure spending for the former Bennett Freeze area in the Western portion of the Navajo Nation. • $3 million for Public Employment Funds for the 110 chapters.
• $1.2 million for chapter improvements. • A $500,000 fuel cost supplemental appropriation. • $550,000 for General Activity Fund Balance to be split with all 110 chapters. “The total amount returned to the UUFB is about $8.7 million,” said President Shelly. “It is important that the budget supplement requests comply with the Navajo Nation Appropriations Act, all policies and procedures created by FY 2014 Budget Instructions and Policies Manual and other pertinent Navajo laws,” President Shelly wrote. The Navajo Council cannot override the line item vetoes exercised by the Navajo Nation president.

Willis attorney wants out
TRI-CITYTRIBUNE Friday, October 4, 2013
Comeau files motion to withdraw 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 Mexico Title and Escrow. Comeau cited “irreconcilable 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 part-
Willis
ners 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 Insti-
tutions 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 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 Atchi-
son 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 allegedly 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.

Blue Star Mothers need our help to send care packages to soldiers LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The Four Corners Blue Star Mothers is collecting names and information of local soldiers who are serving overseas as a way to send them gift packages with items that are from their hometown. Every two months, the chapter sends gift packages to men and women from the Four Corners area who currently serve in the military. Each package contains toiletries, snacks and, of course, green chile, do-
nated by local businesses and citizens.
“We try to treat them like gold,” said Cindy Castle, Four Corners Blue Star Mothers president. The chapter needs names of local soldiers to add to the list. They will be on the list to receive gift packages until the Blue Star Mothers is notified that they are being deployed or out of the service. In order to add a soldier to the list, the information that is required is the soldier’s name, birthday, country of deployment, 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. 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 (sol-
diers’) addresses, and we are not. The addresses must be submitted to us for us to send the packages,” Castle said. If a soldier’s information 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. To sign up a soldier, visit the Four Corners Blue Star Mothers Facebook page, email Susan Pierce with the Blue Star Mothers, at sus_pierce@msn.com, or contact Castle at 505.320.6119.

Yxáà|ätÄ Distil, Majestic Media brings brew, bands and barbecue to Lions Wilderness Park LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The aroma of barbecued ribs and the sounds of clinking beer glasses filled Lions Wilderness Park and Amphitheater in Farmington on Sept. 28 during the first-ever Brews Meats Bands Festival. The festival was a partnership between Majestic Media and Distil and it
was a huge success, according to Majestic Media President Don Vaughan. “It was absolutely amazing. We heard comments from people saying, ‘This is the best event Farmington has put on in decades,’” said Vaughan, adding the reason the BMB Festival was so successful was a combination of the venue, the popularity of microbreweries and barbecue,
The six barbeque teams that competed in the BMB festival were cooking their ribs in the early morning, hours before the festival even begun.
and the “community ’s hunger for entertainment that is more engaging.” There were 14 microbreweries participating in the festival including Sierra Nevada, O’Dell Brewing Co. from Fort Collins, Colo., Alaskan Brewing Co., and the local 3 Rivers Brewery. Vaughan pointed out Distil Owner Jake Foust’s knowledge for microbreweries was a huge contribution to the festival. “Distil has the most micro-brew sales in the area. (Foust) is the best in the business in that sense, ” Vaughan said. To accompany the brews, there were six different teams cooking up delicious barbecued ribs and handing them out to the wide-smiling guests. The team that won the “People’s Choice” for best barbecue was Sean McAtasney and John Gillen from Farmington. “This has been fun. I love doing this and seeing the people smile,” Gillen explained. “For us, this was our first competition, but we have been smoking barbecue for a long time,” McAtasney added. The team won a $500 prize with $250 being donated to the LIVESTRONG Foundation and Catholic Charities in Farmington. Most of the cooks at the festival have mastered smoking barbecue. “I have
5
been doing this for 10 years,” said Carl Dallas, a local resident who represented team Big Country BBQ. “I just love this. I love the location and being outside.” Dallas’s teammate was Jenny Rogers from Farmington. While people wiped barbecue away from their faces and chatted with their friends, they also could listen to several local bands play throughout the day. These bands included Little Miss Chevious, Jose Villarreal, Boomtown, and Those Devils. The headline band that took the stage in the evening was Hello Dollface, a Durango, Colo.based band that has played 400 venues in nearly every Western state from Texas to the West Coast. “These are amazing local bands that have no venues to play in for the public to go see,” Vaughan said. “The venue made this event successful. The city of Farmington was instrumental in helping that happen. They know (Lions Wilderness Park) is a great venue and it is not utilized and they want it to be utilized.” The festival was a huge hit, according to the guests. Kevin O’Neill from Farmington said he enjoyed the beer sampling and listening to the bands. “This is a fantastic venue and I hope they have it again next year.” Amber Aasen-Frakes from Farmington echoed that, saying, “This is something that is different and new to Farmington. We would like to see this every year in Farmington.” The BMB Festival will be an annual event with the 2014 festival occurring on Oct. 11 at Lions Wilderness Park. Vaughan said he also is considering organizing a BMB Festival in the springtime. (Left) Sean McAtasney from Farmington gives two thumbs up at the BMB Festival on Sept. 28. McAtasney and his teammate, John Gillen, won the “People’s Choice” award for best barbeque ribs.
There were more than 700 people who sampled beer and barbeque ribs and listened to live music at the BMB Festival at Lions Wilderness Park.
