Contractor chosen
Jaynes Corp. wins bid for new School of Energy LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The San Juan College Board approved a notice of intent to hire a contractor to construct the School of Energy building on the northeast corner of the college’s main campus. At an Oct. 8 meeting, board members approved a recommendation to hire the local construction company Jaynes Corporation as the designbuild contractor. A designbuild is a construction method in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single contractor. This method allows for projects to be constructed within a shorter timeframe. The estimated completion date of the School of Energy is the summer of 2015. Jaynes Corporation will collaborate with Dekker/Perich/ Sabatini, an Albuquerque architecture firm, to construct the approximately 50,000square-foot building, which will cost $15 million.

Mayor breaks tie vote 9 percent electric utility rate hike OK’d for residential customers DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune
Government shutdown Increase spurs discussion on nation’s economy
The Farmington Electric Utility needs $100 million in upgrades over the next five years. It has upwards of $60 million in the bank to complete these projects, but the Farmington City Council voted Tuesday, Oct. 8, to increase residential rates by 9 percent. This would result in a $36 per year increase implemented at $12 per year over the next three years. City Councilor Jason Sandel called the rate change a tax increase on the backs of residential users, because each year the city
DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune The discussion about an electric utility rate increase on residential users turned into a debate when Councilor Mary Fischer and Mayor Tommy Roberts shared differing opinions on the Federal Government shutdown. Fischer said she couldn’t see the point in raising rates when the economic environment is unstable in the San Juan Basin and throughout the country. “In a declining economy this does not seem the time to be doing this. I really question where else on this planet is anyone else considering rate increases. It has everything to do with can we afford

“The city needed more money. The utility gave it to the city, and now for the utility to be
able to pay the bills the utility has to raise the rates,” Sandel said. Electric Utility Director Mike Sims said he would not characterize it that way. “You pay for the dividend with a rate increase, which is similar to a tax increase,” Sandel said. “With $62 million in the bank, $45 million of it available to be used and the uncertainty in the area, and the residential customers taking the brunt of it, that I cannot support it.” Councilor Mary Fischer brought up “uncertainty” in the

Four Corners Innovations Inc.
New research park to turn great ideas into profitable endeavors LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Many of us do not have a clear definition of what a research park is, but Four Corners Innovations Inc. in a partnership with San Juan College has a full grasp of the concept and is on the way to developing much needed revenues for the college. Research parks are often linked with major research universities. They exist to create linkages between the university, industry, and the community. The result of research parks is converting new research into new businesses that generate new jobs.
San Juan College recently announced it will follow in the footsteps of several higher education institutions in New Mexico and develop a research park. The name of this research park is Four Corners Innovations Inc. “We are in its infancy stages. We are just now initiating it and getting our bylaws in place,” said San Juan College President Dr. Toni Hopper Pendergrass, adding the research park will help “encourage innovation and provide additional revenue to the college.” Educational institutions in New Mexico are allowed to have research parks because of The University Research Park Act, which
was enacted by state legislature in 1978. The purpose of the University Research Park Act is to “promote the public welfare and prosperity of the people in New Mexico, foster economic development within New Mexico, and engage in other cooperative ventures of innovative technological significance that will advance education, science, research, conservation, health or economic development within New Mexico,” according to Section 21-28-2 of the act. The idea of creating a research park at San Juan College came from an implementation team at the college called Grow San

research Juan. “What they do is they come up with proposals and then share them with the executive leadership team,” Pendergrass said. The executive leadership team saw the benefits of having a research park and decided to create a Four Corners Innovations Inc. “The members are nominated by the San Juan College Board. They are comprised of community members from different market sectors in our community so it represents all of our schools at the college.”
The FCI Board’s purpose is to review the research projects and decide “if we want to build a partnership. We have a process where we ask does this have merit and will this patent enable monetary recoveries,” said Dr. James Henderson, who is a member of the Four Corners Innovation Board. “Universities have been doing this for years. What (a research park) will do for the college is it enables this college to become involved in things that actually will be extremely ben-
eficial because there will be monetary values,” Henderson added. There are a “myriad” of ways a research park can generate revenue for the college, Pendergrass explained. “If (someone) writes a book that is highly marketable then the college can share in revenue or if someone has a patent or invention that is highly marketable then the college can also share in revenue.” At the School of Energy, having a research park allows for the school to help
other energy institutions improve their education and training programs. “San Juan College is one of the top three as far as developing education and developing training for the energy industry,” Dean of the School of Energy and CEO of Four Corners Innovations Inc. Randy Pacheco said. “We want to establish quality within various community colleges that want to mimic the education and training we are doing. Currently there is no mechanism in which
to do that. But San Juan College has put lots of money into the School of Energy so we want to be able to help other institutions but not give away all of San Juan College’s investments.” Several future research projects that will be conducted by the School of Energy will be funded through “some initial revenues” that were generated through out of state training and an energy conference that was held in the springtime, Pendergrass
said. Other schools in New Mexico that have a research extension include Santa Fe Community College, the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. “We are more than just a community college; we are willing to take on research. This is looking at ideas that can spawn from inside the community and really move the college,” Pacheco said.
breaking will take place in the northeast corner of the main campus near the College Boulevard and Piñon Hills Boulevard intersection. “We are extremely excited about the groundbreaking celebration. San Juan College has a history of responding to our community workforce needs and we are truly committed to student success,” said Dr. Toni Pendergrass, San Juan College president. Since the School of Energy programs exist in several locations within
the community, with one building on South Hutton Road and the other on East 30th Street, Pendergrass said “it will be nice to have all of the programs in one location.” The Commercial Driver’s License program will be at the South Hutton Road location. The construction of the new School of Energy building also will allow for more students to enroll in the programs offered. There are approximately 250 students who graduate from the School of Energy every year. The
school also trains 7,000 individuals in industry curricula every year for
the workforce. “We are just hopeful that the demand for the
energy program continues to grow in the upcoming years,” Pendergrass said.
bid Frank Cole, the college’s chief procurement officer, said there will be a 15-day period in which the companies that bid on the project could formally protest the board’s selection. “The contract is not finalized. Hopefully at the (Nov. 5) board meeting, members can finalize the contract.” The approval of notice of intent to hire Jaynes Corporation comes in time for a School of Energy ground breaking ceremony, which will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17.

and producer for a touring oneman show on school bullying.
“Matthew and I went to graduate school together and have worked on many projects together through the years,� Theater Director Mollie Mook-Fiddler said. “He will be a great asset to our program, and our students stand to gain a lot from his diverse experiences as a performer, director and producer.� Private Lives is a 1930’s classic comedy of manners written by the witty and masterful Noel Coward after he contracted influenza in Shanghai. He spent two weeks recovering from the
flu sketching out the play, and completed the script in only four days. The three-act comedy focuses on a divorced couple who discover they are honeymooning with their new spouses in neighboring rooms at the same hotel. Despite a perpetually stormy relationship, they fall back in love with each other after reconnecting on adjacent balconies. Actors who have played the lead role include Robert Stephens (Romeo and Juliet, 1968), Richard Burton (Cleopatra) and
Alan Rickman (Harry Potter); while the female role has attracted the likes of Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City), Maggie Smith (Harry Potter, Downton Abbey) and Elizabeth Taylor (Cleopatra). The play was made into a film in 1931 and has been adapted several times for television and radio. Don’t miss this performance. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. For tickets or further information, call the San Juan College Box Office at 505.566.3430.
has ever known thinks NN should worship. While NN really, really doesn’t like going in for her annual checkup with her ever-so-nice doctor, she does it on accounta if you don’t go in for your annual checkup, you get phone calls, text messages and emails every 30 seconds reminding you that your health care is important to the AARP and if you don’t get your “annual,� you will be violating some
kinda creed that says old people need to know what’s going on with their bodies so they can tell their “healthcare professional� how they really feel and you can’t tell your “healthcare professional� how you really feel over the phone, in an email or a snail mail letter. No – they want you to go in so you’re probed in places that haven’t been probed since the last check up, use little hammers to make sure your “reflexes� are
good (NN would like to show ’em how good her reflexes are when they probe in those places that shouldn’t be probed. Just sayin’. . . .) and – the worst part – they want you to get on a scale so they can “suggest� you lose a few – or a few gazillion – pounds before your next checkup. Whatever. NN went in for her annual checkup just so’s the messages from AARP would stop clogging her email so her im-
portant messages – the ones she signed up for with “Everything’s Better Deep Fried� – would come through. NN doesn’t do a lot of message thingeys on accounta her fingers have gained a little weight from all the recipes from Everything’s Better Deep Fried, which makes hitting just one key at a time pretty much impossible. The first thing those nice and sweet and kind nurses
do when you arrive for your checkup is force you on to a scale. But first, they make you remove anything and everything that is not considered “body weight,� which means NN was forced to remove her hooker heels, her 16 strands of faux pearls, her 12 bangle bracelets and her lovely faux diamond/pearl/chicken feather chandelier earrings.

Can government shutdown bring any good? The federal government took a break this week, with national parks and other services shutting down in a showdown over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare.” House Republicans are refusing to vote to fund the health insurance law; President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats won’t pass a budget that doesn’t include that money. Neither side appears willing to back down. Can anything good come from the shutdown? Are Americans doomed to eternal gridlock in their governance? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue. MATHIS: From a Democratic perspective, one great thing is already happening as a result of the shutdown: Americans are realizing that Tea Party Republicans, who so ostentatiously proclaim their fealty to the Founders, are dripping with hypocrisy. Consider: Only a few dozen House Republicans are responsible for this shutdown – they amount to less
than 10 percent of the total membership of the House of Representatives. Remember, too: The Founders may have loved checks and balances, but they despised the notion that such a small minority might gum up the governmental works. Here’s Alexander Hamilton, writing in The Federalist Papers, No. 22: “To give a minority a negative upon the majority ... is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. ... (I)ts real operation is to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice or artifices of an insignificant, turbulent or corrupt junto to the regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority.” This tyranny of the minority, Hamilton wrote, would result in “tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good.” Sound familiar? James Madison agreed, later writing in The Federalist Papers, No. 58, that by letting a minority
RED & BLUE STATES Joel Mathis & Ben Boychuk
faction run rogue, “the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority.” Madison wrote that the minority faction would be prone “to extort unreasonable indulgences.” Which is where we stand. The House of Representatives passed Obamacare. So did the Senate. The president signed it. The Supreme Court approved its legality. The president then won reelection when enactment of Obamacare was a top issue. At every corner, the law has passed democratic and constitutional muster. If House Republicans can win a repeal vote on the law, let them. They can’t. So they’ve taken the government hostage. It’s an act of hypocrisy and contempt –
for democratic norms, for the vision of the Founders and for the wishes of the majority of their fellow citizens. BOYCHUK: It’s great to see liberals take the Founders’ views seriously. But we don’t need to look back 224 years to recognize how much Obama and congressional Democrats take Americans for a bunch of saps. The federal government has shut down 18 times since 1976 – including several times when Democrats ran both houses of Congress and the White House. Undivided government is no panacea. You’ve heard of the Washington Monument strategy? It’s an old political trick. Congress threatens budget cuts, and an agency – the National Parks Service is the classic example – threatens
to close a popular attraction first. Turns out, the Washington Monument was closed before this week for repairs. So officials spent money and manpower they supposedly don’t have to barricade most of the National Mall, including popular memorials. In response, a group of World War II veterans shoved the barricades aside and visited the memorial built in their honor, despite the threat of arrest – if you could imagine such a scene. But the spectacle on the Mall was nothing compared to the one on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., couldn’t believe CNN’s Dana Bash would question why Senate Democrats refuse to consider piecemeal funding bills. If it’s so horrible that cancerstricken kids are being denied access to clinical trials, then simply fund the National Institutes of Health – as a bipartisan majority of the House agreed to do this week. “Why would we want to do that?” Reid replied. “I
have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own.” But cancer isn’t one. Reid’s response highlights how much of this “crisis” is mere political posturing. Even the term “government shutdown” is misleading. Roughly 80 percent of federal employees are still working. But at some agencies, such as the Education Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, between 90 and 95 percent of workers have been furloughed as “nonessential personnel.” It’s a shame those people have to be pawns in a political game. But the shutdown should lead Americans to wonder if so many federal employees are “nonessential,” perhaps they would be better off in the private sector.

have your say LETTERS Writer wants residents to read, comment on county ordinance Editor. I am a voting citizen of San Juan County. When I was made aware of the San Juan County Land Development ordinance, known as Ordinance 84, I was shocked as I read through it and learned that a committee of four people wrote this code that is about 100-plus pages and will be passed on Dec. 3, 2013. Ordinance 84 is a code that dictates to the landowners and developers, as well as – from my understanding – trying to abolish agricultural land.
There is no way to own land or start a business in the county without the approval of administrators. They are even so bold as to tell us how big and what size our yards must be and how tall our trees can be and where we can park our cars on our own property. There are penalties – fines and even jail time – for some violations. For all concerned citizens who live in the county there are copies of this huge ordinance that everyone needs to read. It is full of details that will affect all the lives of all county landowners.
It is my hope that the public will get informed and speak up at the meetings that are held the first and third Tuesday at 4 p.m. at 100 S. Oliver Drive in Aztec. There will be meetings Oct. 15, Nov. 5, and Nov. 19 before the proposed administrators vote on Dec. 3. Comment sheets will be accepted until Nov. 25. It is my opinion that all the county residents have a chance to vote and that we all need a copy of this ordinance that can be picked up, along with comment sheets, at 100 Oliver Drive.
I hope to see you and as many people as you can inform to come to the meetings and let the administrators know that we, the public, want to vote on this. We all deserve a chance to understand and vote on this code! It takes some time to read through this document, so I hope the citizens get their copy and read through it, ASAP. This ordinance will affect everyone in the San Juan County if it is passed as is. Virginia Hatchett Rural Aztec
Real leadership needed at the top of government WASHINGTON – Someone needs to ask House Speaker John Boehner how bad he wants to keep his job. Is holding on to it so important that he won’t buck an extreme faction of Republican conservatives to promote the greater good and prevent the nation from defaulting on its debts? If he doesn’t lead, he could become among the most irresponsible men ever elected to high public office. In the old days, those who occupied the chair third in the presidential succession line at least made an effort to lead. They understood that a decision not always popular among their own rank and file might cost them their job, but they were willing to take the risk. Strong speakers like Sam Rayburn and Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neil possessed brilliant manipulative skills and
DAN THOMASSON SCRIPPS HOWARD kept a firm hold on their troops while demanding the respect that goes with the post. Faced with the potential earthquake demanded by today’s conservative radicals, they certainly would have responded emphatically for the nation. The government shutdown has stretched into its second week. But the real crisis will come Oct. 17, when the debt ceiling needs to be raised to avoid government default – which, most experts agree, could trigger a worldwide economic catastrophe. Boehner said earlier in this scuffle that he would cobble together a coalition
of moderate Republicans and Democrats to avoid this cataclysmic event. On Sunday, however, he said he told President Obama that there was no way the House could pass a “clean” bill upping the debt ceiling. He demanded negotiations. This came despite a warning from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew that Congress was playing with fire. Boehner needs the political courage to stand up to the congressional crazies in his party and say, in no uncertain terms: What is right is right, and let whatever happens to me in the aftermath happen. Obama – who won a sec-
ond term because he talked a good game and promised to lead – should practice what he pledged. Lord knows he has had enough time to perfect the art. Running around making speeches or diving into the controversy over whether to change the Washington Redskins’ name is hardly productive. Leaders take charge. As he has done in the past, Obama should call Boehner in; the two can lock themselves in a room and slug it out – figuratively or not. There are always ways around these impasses. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan spoke recently with James Baker III, a former star of Republican administrations under Reagan and the elder Bush, about the challenges of starkly divided government. Baker said when then-
President Ronald Reagan was dealing with fierce Democratic opposition in Congress, the chief executive managed to maintain his strong image by taking what he could get and putting national interest first. According to Baker, Reagan wasn’t a conservative ideologue. He was a pragmatist. “Reagan would say, ‘I’d rather get 80 percent of what I want than go over the cliff with my flag flying,’” Baker told Noonan. A Republican I know well got so angry the other day at both sides’ intransigence that he wrote both his senators (one Republican, one Democrat), the House Republican leader and his own congressman (also a Republican), inquiring why they were still in office when they obviously didn’t want to represent the national good – only the narrow in-
terests necessary for political survival or ideological purity. He’d warned his elected representatives not to send a response written by some young underling “who has not been laid off like millions of others because of your extremism.” It was the first time this Republican had ever written a politician. Preserving a position at any cost can lead to a disastrous breach of responsibilities, a betrayal of public trust not only by those who demand that the lawmaker follow their narrow prescription, but by the lawmaker for doing so. Both antagonists in this ridiculous squabble should remember that. Lead or get out of the way. Email Dan K. Thomasson, former editor of the Scripps Howard News Service, at thomassondan @aol.com.

vote area when she pointed out the federal government shut down and looming drop off the fiscal cliff could adversely affect the nation’s economy, which would trickle down to states and municipalities. “There is such uncertainty with the national economy with what might happen if we go over the fiscal cliff,” Fischer said, asking for a more in-depth study of the city’s entire infrastructure. “I believe what we need is a comprehensive study of all of our infrastructure needs. Our drainage is inadequate, water and sewer is not where it should be.” Fischer asked the issue be tabled for a few weeks, but the request died when Councilors Dan Darnell and Gayla McCulloch voted against tabling and voiced strong support for a rate increase. “It is obvious this rate increase should have been done sooner,” McCulloch said. The last electric rate increase came in the
ANFN
1980s. That was the last time major upgrades were done to the utility, Sims said, adding that each year the city has budgeted money to upgrade the utility, but the upgrades were not sufficient to meet the electrical demands of the public. Customers who put up with electric outages in the’80s don’t even like short interruptions in power, which might cause their microwave to blink or their DVR to not record their favorite television show. “We have to do what is necessary to move this utility to a place where we can satisfy the customers’ needs,” Sims said. Sandel asked why, with money being budgeted for upgrades, the utility is not where it needs to be. “It’s not that money was not budgeted and spent, it’s that it was budgeted and spent on the wrong things,” Sandel said. “I’m really trying to see how we missed the boat that you painted us
economy this,” she said. Fischer pointed out that the country is “staring down the barrel of the fiscal cliff gun,” and she does not think any type of major change in the local government’s operation would be a good idea. “I see no value in waiting,” Roberts said of the looming rate increase, because he believed the rates to be “very reasonable.” “I don’t think they will have a negative impact on economic development,” Roberts said. “Do you understand the economic crisis this country is facing?” Fischer asked. Roberts threw the question right back at Fischer, asking her if she understood the fiscal crisis. “Interest as missing.” Sims said that was not the picture he was painting. He tried to describe that while $20 million might have been budgeted each year for upgrades, only $10-12 million in upgrades would be completed. The city didn’t miss the boat, according to City

rates are going to practically double. Services are going to be cut. Unemployment is going rise. The cost of food will increase,” Fischer said. “Those things are economic red flags. … It is going to put a standstill on the economy. Everyone, including Warren Buffet – if that is good enough for you – says this will be a nuclear bomb for our economy. We shouldn’t put our feet in the sand and say we are going to do that no matter what.” Fischer pointed out that the city has aging infrastructure in need of repairs. It is not just the electric utility, but the city ’s drainage system also needs $40 million in repairs.
Manager Rob Mayes, who said the utility’s employee structure was set up in a way that did not allow for work to be completed in a timely manner. “If you are looking to hold someone accountable, then hold me accountable and move forward,” Mayes said. “We’ve got to get these projects done. If we are identifying $20 million in projects, then we need to get them done.” There are $20 million in projects each year for the next five years that need to be completed, according to a study completed by Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC. The study showed that residential rates should go up 15 percent, according to Scott Burnham, of SAIC.
Councilor Dan Darnell said he agreed that the city needs to look at improving its infrastructure, and even to complete an evaluation of the city’s systems. He also stated that if the nation does go over the fiscal cliff, the Council has the authority to revisit the issue. “Let’s say the worse thing happens, we have the authority to pull back on any expenditure,” he said. “Let’s say things go to heck in a handbasket, we have the authority – and not only the authority by the fiduciary responsibility – to pull back and look where we’re going,” Darnell said. “We do need to be economically cautious.”
His company, however, proposed an 8 percent increase that would be implemented across a threeyear period. “Some utilities do a clear cost of service – Farmington has an ability to design their own rates. The end result is the rate proposal we put in front of you,” Burnham said in a September work session. His company designed a rate for Farmington’s utility that would allow it to spend 51 percent of its revenue on power supply costs and 22 percent on capital improvements. “You are not the only utility facing this – both water and electric utilities are facing the need to upgrade their facilities,” Burnham said. He projected that the overall revenue requirement for the utility would be an $8 million increase. “We are proposing to change the base rate to .035 cents.” The current rate is .0295 cents. Under this plan, business users would see a one-time increase of 1/2 percent. This is because business users subsidize residential rates, according to Sims.
“For the most part, residential customers are subsidized,” he said. “The key is to find that balance that still allows for economic growth without impacting commercial customers to the detriment of their business and still allow residential customers a fair rate.” Councilor Darnell said that he didn’t look at this rate increase on residential users as a bad thing; instead, he believes staff “showed a lot of empathy” for residential users by phasing the increase in over a three-year period. “We have a responsibility to our citizens and to our rate payers. To avoid rate increases across any of those utilities is simply to neglect our infrastructure,” Darnell said. “I don’t look at rate increases as necessarily being bad things, but as increasing the solvency of our utility when it is needed.” Darnell moved to approve the rate increase, and McCulloch seconded. Fischer and Sandel cast opposing votes and Mayor Tommy Roberts cast the deciding vote in favor of the increase.

Helping seniors citizens
SJC pitching in to give our neighbors a hand Get your shovels and rakes and join forces to help with the annual San Juan College Fall Cleanup project from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov.1 and 2. San Juan College students, faculty, employees and community volunteers will gather to help local senior citizens who need help with general
cleaning chores in their yard. Volunteers team up to rake leaves, trim bushes and branches, pull weeds and do any other basic outdoor chores that seniors are unable to do on their own. The project reaches homes in the Farmington, Aztec and Bloomfield area, but
welcomes applications from any areas surrounding Farmington. “This is the perfect opportunity to help senior citizens and provide a needed service in the community,” says Lucy Haber, assistant director of the Community Learning Center. “A few
hours can make a huge difference, and it’s a great project for individuals as well as for entire families.” The San Juan College School of Business Principles of Management students will organize the event. The project is also co-coordinated by the Office of Retention
and the Volunteer Center. Residents who need help with their fall cleanup chores may request an application to be considered for the project. The deadline for senior citizens to apply is Oct. 18. Contact Cori Mapp in the Office of Retention at
505.566.3120 or mappc@sanjuancollege.edu for an application. Community members interested in volunteering for the cleanup should contact Lucy Haber, assistant director of the Community Learning Center, 505.566.3690 or haberl@sanjuancollege.edu.
Fall Dumpster Weekend
Volunteers still needed for two-day event Farmington Clean & Beautiful will host Fall Dumpster Weekend from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20 at Berg Park. This semi-annual event is located in Berg Park at the intersection of San Juan Boulevard and Scott Avenue. Volunteers, parks workers, and Waste Management employees will be on hand to accept yard trimmings, metal, household non-hazardous trash, and yard waste from Farmington residents. On-site document shredding will also be available from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19. Proof of Farmington residency is required. All yard trimmings must, for safety reasons, be free of any debris and must not contain any Russian olive or pyracantha trimmings because they make the mulch unusable. Yard trimmings must also be five inches or less in diameter. Refrigerators will be accepted only at the Parks warehouse at 901 Fairgrounds Road. This will save the time, money, and manpower it takes to load the refrigerators on a trailer at Berg Park, haul them to the Parks warehouse, and unload them before returning for another load. All refrigerators must be cleaned prior to drop-off and residents are limited to two refrigerators per household. Materials not accepted for Dumpster Weekend are items such as motor oil, paint, liquids of any kind, air conditioning units, tires, or batteries. Electronic waste will not be accepted at this time. Volunteers are a cornerstone to the success of this event to help keep Farmington clean and beautiful. Volunteers are still needed for both Saturday and Sunday. Those interested in volunteering may be asked to accomplish such tasks as directing traffic, maintaining tally sheets for incoming items, or providing assistance to those who need help unloading their items. For additional information on the Fall Dumpster Weekend, contact Debra Homer at 505.599.1426.

Storytelling Festival
A narrative of our lives; sharing, interpreting experiences LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Everyone has a story to tell, and several of America’s finest storytellers are making their way to Farmington for the 13th Annual Four Corners Storytelling Festival on Friday, Oct. 11, and Saturday, Oct. 12. The free festival features professional storytellers as well as local youth who will showcase their storytelling talents. The festival will be held in Berg Park, with the evening events at the Totah Theatre in downtown
Farmington. The public is invited to listen to bedtime stories and ghost stories from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 11, during a story-
telling event at the Totah Theatre. On Saturday, Oct. 12, the public may attend the festival from 9:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at Berg Park. The grand finale also is
open to the public from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Totah Theatre. School groups were invited to register their classes for field trips to the festival; however, due to limited space, registration is completely full and no unregistered school groups will be allowed to attend the Friday sessions. The public may attend the festival between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday; however, seating will be limited because of the students. “We try to accommodate the students first on that day,” said Flo Trujillo, the library’s youth
services coordinator. As a way to include additional schools, the storytellers will visit several elementary schools in the Shiprock area on Thursday to read to the students. “We try to go to some of the schools that may not be able to come to the festival. We hope the kids and families will come on Saturday and watch the storytellers again,” Trujillo said. This year’s storytellers have all performed previously at the Four Corners Storytelling Festival. They include Motoko, Bil Lepp, Kim Weitkamp, Consuelo
Samarripa, and Tim Tingle. Their biographies are available on the library’s website, www.infoway.org. The festival also will feature local youth storytellers, area students who auditioned and will perform in each of the tents. The youth storytellers include Samantha DeWees, Kiran Edwards, Kaleb Herman, Olivia Larson, Lareesa Ryan, Ben Kelly, and Cannon, Bryan, and Allen Hilton.

The area around Lake O’Hara is one of Walters’ favorite places to paint. “It is a pristine spot,” Walters said, adding that many of the great landscape artists have gone there to paint and capture the water falls, fallen logs and lush, green waters of the lake. “It’s an unbelievable place.

KTRA Gets Pinked with Little Texas Dave Schaefer and the staff at KTRA 102 FM are excited to be involved with the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree scheduled for Oct. 18 at the Farmington Civic Center. Schaefer is going to emcee the event, which includes a concert by Little Texas, during the band’s 25th anniversary concert tour. “I’m going to show up in my pink shirt and announce the arrival of Little Texas,” he said. Little Texas is a well-known countryrock band with a huge following. Its members will perform a full concert set during the soiree, placing the event on the Little Texas concert circuit for the fall. From Farmington they will travel to San Angelo, Texas, for another concert. This event will be a one-time opportunity for country music fans to hear Little Texas live in Farmington, and of course
Farmington’s Country Music Station – KTRA – wanted to be involved, so the station is co-sponsoring the event with Majestic Media. “It’s a great fundraising activity,” Schaefer said. “We’re still pretty involved in the community, and with this event the money goes to a great cause – the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund.” This is the third year that Majestic Media has put on a Get Pinked event that includes dinner and live music. In years past there was a gala at the Farmington Museum. This year, the focus changed to the cowboy soiree, to go along with the Little Texas concert. Tickets for the event are $125 per person or $225 per couple, and that includes a barbecue dinner, live art auction and the concert.

TRI-CITYTRIBUNE
Fourth times the charm
Todd Wells turns in his first Road Apply Rally win LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune The unique terrain allowed for bicyclists to speed down trails racing for the finish line during the annual Road Apple Rally race at Lions Wilderness Park in Farmington. On Oct. 5, more than 200 bicyclists ventured to Farmington to compete in the traditional race. The Road Apple Rally is the longest running mountain biking race in the United States and has been a
tradition in Farmington for more than 30 years. It started in 1981 as a race between equestrians and bicyclists.
The race encourages various ages to compete, either in the 15-mile loop for beginners or the 30-mile loop
for advanced bicyclists. From several western states, 210 bicyclists came to compete in the race, including one individual from San Diego, Calif., said Shawn Lyle, race coordinator. “The terrain out here allows for bicyclists to go fast” through the course, Lyle said. “The weather also has always cooperated and it is great for the riders.” Garrett Farmer, 15, from Farmington, won the overall short course, finishing with a time of 59 minutes and
22 seconds. The several race categories offered for the long course were professional, expert, sport, and single speed. Todd Wells, 37, from Durango won the overall long course professional category, finishing the course in 1 hour and 42 minutes. Wells is a professional mountain bicyclist and has competed in the Road Apple Rally four times, with his first time in 1996. “I race all over the world, so when I happen to have a weekend off and it is around the time
of Road Apple Rally, I always get down to Farmington. It is one of the most enjoyable cross country courses we have here,” Wells said. The reason why Wells enjoys the course is because it is a “very fast” course. “I think we average 17 miles per hour, and on normal courses we average 12 miles per hour. It is almost like a giant BMX track.” For complete results, visit the website chasing3.com and click on the “Results” tab.
First Tee fundraiser
Golf Ball Drop, carnival at Riverside on Oct. 19 The San Juan County Life Skills Foundation is hosting their 2nd Annual Helicopter Golf Ball Drop and Nine Core Values Golf Carnival. Raffle tickets are being sold throughout the county. The event is Saturday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m. at Riverside Golf Course Once sold, ticket numbers will be transferred to golf balls that are going to be dropped from the San Juan Regional Medical Center Helicopter. The balls will be dropped at a few hundred feet onto a bulls-eye that will be painted in the middle of the driving range at Riverview Golf Course. The middle of the bulls-eye will Injuries real their ugly head again this week. Texans TE Owen Daniels was put on injured reserve and it appears that Julio Jones, the 2ND leading receiver in the league, is heading there as well. No surprise that Michael Vick will be “day to day,” which is where he may be the rest of the year. Injuries and byes make for some interesting lineups. Each week the Fantasy October is perhaps the greatest month to be a sports fan. Baseball playoffs are off and running. Football is beginning to separate the haves from the have nots, and basketball and hockey are in preseason getting ready for the start of the season.

Massey at San Juan River Outfitters, a Taylor Made SLDR Driver, a $700 golf package from the Glacier Club, various gift

The event is free to the community and golf balls will be available for purchase leading up to and on the day of the event. Golf balls Last week’s column revolved around UNM football coach Bob Davie being asked if he expected to beat the Aggies every year. I can now say I expected the Lobos to beat the Aggies on Saturday, but I didn't expect UNM to put up 66 points. UNM pounded their instate rival 66-17. The 66 points is tied for the most ever against NMSU. UNM put up 541 yards rushing in the process (4th most in school history). The Lobos now lead the nation in rushing. UNM is averaging 367.8 yards per game this year. UNM racked up over 1,000 yards rushing in the last two weeks combined. Granted, their last two opponents are the two worst teams in the country when it comes to run defense, but 1,000 yards? That doesn't happen with too many teams around the country. UNM takes their show on the road this week as the Lobos travel to

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS JP Murrieta Wyoming. The Lobos will have to find a way to neutralize quarterback Brett Smith. The junior has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 26 of his 28 career games. He is the Cowboys’ alltime leader with 61 career passing touchdowns. The Lobos will also have concerns about their own quarterback situation. Backup QB Clayton Mitchem was hurt last week against NMSU, suffering a back injury. Davie says Mitchem is questionable this week, putting more pressure on Cole Gautsche to remain healthy. “You always worry about your quarterback,” said Davie. “You always worry about guys taking hits, but Cole is 232 pounds. He’s a big strong guy and I
don’t know if you can worry too much about it.” Back to the Aggies… New Mexico State is going to find it hard to pick up wins the rest of the way. Head coach Doug Martin says they still have a chance to flip the mentality at NMSU in one year (but what do you expect him to say, right?) The Aggies have a bye this week followed by a home game against Rice. There’s a good chance we could see a quarterback change by kickoff on the 19th. Martin said he plans to take this week to reevaluate some personnel and move some guys around. He’s made it known he’s not happy with the play of

Andrew McDonald threw a pair of interceptions against UNM (and probably could have been picked off another two times). “You can’t turn the ball over as a quarterback and you’ve got to make plays,” said Martin. “Right now we’re not getting the plays we need from our quarterback.” You can likely expect to see King Davis take over at quarterback. He’s been injured since NMSU’s loss at UCLA. Martin is also concerned with his team’s speed, particularly on defense. “To stop people from running the football on you, you have to get to the ball and I don’t know if we have the team speed we need on defense,” said Martin. NMSU hasn't won a game since beating Sacramento State last August, a losing streak stretching to 17 games. Is it basketball season yet?

What’s going on? My pet is sneezing and snorting Sneezing and snorting seem like obvious enough actions to define, yet it’s not always easy to tell the difference between the two in pets. Indeed, these two symptoms can sometimes look so similar that many people use the terms interchangeably. Sneezing is generally defined as sudden, involuntary outflow of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth. It’s usually caused in response to some irritant of the upper airway, most often to the delicate mucous membranes that line the nasal passages. Snorting, by contrast, looks like and is defined almost identically as a sneeze. The difference is that a sneeze is involuntary, while a snort is a voluntary effort on the part of the snorter. Dogs and cats sneeze and snort for all sorts of reasons related to the workings of the upper respiratory tract. Though many of them are normal and benign responses to simple irritation, some can signal infections, upper airway obstructions and allergic disease, among other conditions of the upper respiratory tract. Sneezing and snorting are caused by a variety of ailments. Here are the most common causes for each of these symptoms. There is some overlap, in many cases because they can appear indistinguishable from one another.
PAWSITIVELY PETS Darren Woodson Causes for sneezing can be the following: 1. Infectious diseases. Both cats and dogs can suffer infectious diseases that manifest – at least in part – as sneezing. In fact, most any infectious disease that affects the upper respiratory system can cause an animal to sneeze. In dogs, anything from kennel cough to distemper virus can cause sneezing. In cats, viral upper respiratory infections (such as feline herpesvirus) are the most common culprits. 2. Upper airway obstructions. Anything from cancers to polyps to foreign bodies to excess tissue in the upper airways (most commonly the result of brachycephalic syndrome seen in short-headed breeds) can cause irritation of the nasal inflammation for a variety of other immune system-related processes. 3. Allergies (or other disease of the immune system). Though allergic rhinitis is nowhere near as common in pets as humans, it does occur. Dogs and cats both are susceptible to allergies that affect the nasal passages as well as to nasal inflammation for a variety of other
immune system-related processes. 4. Inhaled irritants. Dust, perfumes, carpet powders, pollen and other common inhaled irritants can cause sneezing in dogs and cats. Cause for snorting can be the following: 1. Upper airway obstruction. As with humans who snore severely and suffer sleep apnea, plenty of dogs and cats who have mechanical obstructions in their upper airways (usually inherited as part of what’s called “Brachycephalic syndrome”) snort more frequently than other pets in an apparent attempt to clear their respiratory tracts of debris or fluid. Indeed, any disease that causes the pet sufficient irritation to require the clearing of the nasal passages can result in snorting. 2. Obesity and excess weight. Dogs and cats who carry too many pounds tend to display similar symptoms to those who suffer upper airway obstruction or irritation for other reasons. They, too, will snort more frequently than other pets. Dogs and cats do some-
thing which is somewhat unique to them and we get a lot of questions about what is termed reverse sneezing. While sneezing and snorting are both expulsions of air from the nose/mouth, “reverse” sneezing is an involuntary, spastic inhalation that some dogs experience. Episodes can last a few minutes at a time. It is not uncommon for a dog to do this after being walked and snuffling something (dust, pollen, dirt) into his nose. Many dog owners see reverse sneezing and initially assume their dogs are choking or experiencing a crisis. Though unsettling to an uninitiated owner, there is nothing more to this condition than an irritation of the tissues of the back of the throat and soft palate. It is entirely benign. What to do at home All pets who suffer sneezing and snorting at a more frequent rate or in a different pattern than ever before should see a veterinarian. Here are a couple of simple, commonsensical tips for pet owners whose pets are sneezing or snorting to an extreme. 1. Confine your pet. Put your pet in a crate or small space (such as a bedroom or bathroom) to observe his behavior. 2. Do not overtax your pet. Long walks or exercise
in general should be avoided until you can get your pet to a veterinarian. 3. Take your pet’s temperature. If your pet has a fever (over 101-102 degrees) get him to a veterinarian as soon as you can. If your pet suffers from other obvious symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, pain, poor appetite or simply not acting himself, take him to a veterinarian right away – at an emergency hospital, if need be. Also, if a nasal discharge is present or if the sneezing is productive – meaning mucus, blood or other material is produced – your pet should see a doctor. These are typically signs of a more urgent medical condition that the tips provided here can resolve. If you’re unsure what to do, call your veterinarian or emergency hospital for guidance. What your veterinarian may do When you take your pet to the vet, here are things the doctor may do: 1. Take a history. Most veterinarians will start by asking a few questions to understand the history of the problem. When did you first notice the sneezing or snorting? Has it changed? How has your pet been otherwise? 2. Do a physical examination.
Since so many possibilities exist for the cause of these symptoms, examining the whole body is a necessary part of the process. 3. Order laboratory testing. Blood testing is commonly undertaken in these cases. Aside from the basic CBC and chemistry, specific tests can help identify specific infectious or allergic diseases. 4. Take X-rays and other imaging. When brachycephalic syndrome, tumor or upper respiratory obstructions/foreign bodies are suspected, X-rays are often indicated. Sedation or anesthesia may be required for X-rays. Sometimes additional imaging is required. This can include ultrasound, CT scan and/or MRI studies. 5. Do visual examination under sedation or anesthesia. Anesthetizing a pet is a commonly required procedure for thoroughly evaluating pets that sneeze or snort. Using a rigid or flexible scope to help visualize the nasal tissues and upper respiratory tract may be necessary. Once there, your veterinarian may even elect to take tissue samples (biopsy) for microscopic evaluation. Treatment Treatment depends wholly on the underlying cause of the sneezing or snorting. As always, call your veterinarian about any condition you may have a question about.

The show began in 1973 as National Academy of Western Art show, but has evolved into a premier fine art show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Okla. This was Walters’ 16th year to participate in the show and he won the Buyer’s Choice Award and the Frederic Remington Award, named for the American painter, illustrator, sculptor and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old West. “I didn’t expect that award. I was thrilled,” Walters said. It was for his painting First Touch of Winter, a Western mountain landscape. In earlier years at the Prix de West, Walters en-
The African Violet is one of those rare houseplants that really is easy to care for, and one that will continue to bloom through all months if given what it needs. They flower in an array of bright colors, and have a very delicate looking, but very durable flower. Because of the small size of violets, they can be grown in window sills, on kitchen or bathroom counters and in many other areas without taking up much space. There is a reason it is one of the most sought after flowering houseplants – it is almost always blooming. Use caution, however, as violets have been linked to a certain flower addiction.

African Violets is to overwater them. Feel the soil around your plants, and water when the top is dry. You want to avoid getting the leaves wet when you water, so the best way to water is from the bottom. Place saucers beneath the African Violet pots, and add tepid water. Once the plant has absorbed the water, refill the saucer until the soil surface is moist. Don’t allow the violets to stand in water once the surface is moist. Fertilizing:
African Violets, like many houseplants, need to be fertilized regularly. I prefer using an organic fertilizer on all indoor potted plants, so as not to create heavy salt and mineral build-up in the soil. If you do use regular fertilizers, it should be used at half strength every other time you water. Allow the fertilizer and water to sit overnight, so the water can warm to room temperature and the chlorine will evaporate; as violets hate chlorine.

Walters, however, has turned it into posters and prints that have been popular sellers throughout the years. In addition to Sargent’s Point, he gave the image of Mom’s La Plata Garden to San Juan Regional Medical Center for use on a Get Pinked poster, which also will be sold to raise money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer fund. Sargent’s Point will be auctioned off during the Get Pinked Cowboy Soiree on Oct. 18 at the Farmington Civic Center. Posters will be available during that event as well.

Mr. Potato head up for grabs County, Aztec and Bloomfield collecting items for ECHO Food Bank LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune
They donated 21,842 pound of food last year, and now, San Juan County and the cities of Aztec and Bloomfield are battling it out once again in the 4th Annual Food Drive Challenge for ECHO, Inc. More than 850 employees participated in last year’s challenge, and this year they are competing once again for the prize, which is bragging rights for a year and the much coveted Mr. Potato Head Trophy. “The biggest thing is to help out others. I think it is special for our employees to give back, and if we can help the community out through this, I think
is a great thing,” County CEO Kim Carpenter said. Last year, the county won the trophy with county employees donating 17,243 pounds of nonperishable food items. “It is a neat competition in that there are no losers,” Carpenter said. “It is about giving back to people and that in itself is what humanity is about.” San Juan County also has started a smaller challenge, in which whatever department donates the most food will receive a pizza party from the county CEO’s office. “We have got some good, friendly competition going on,” Carpenter explained. This year, Echo Food Bank also will accept mon-

etary donations from county and city employees. With monetary donations,
ECHO can contract with food vendors, enabling them to purchase more
food. Each dollar donated is equivalent to three pounds of food and can
be used towards bulk food purchases. “The employees loved the idea of monetary donations. They knew it was a win and that’s why we chose to go with that,” said Theresa Day, document specialist for the county assessor, adding that checks are preferred because it will help keep “everyone safe and accountable.” “(The food drive) gives people the opportunity to donate food to those in need. I think it is such a great thing,” Bloomfield Mayor Scott Eckstein said. The weigh-in for food and money donations will take place at San Juan County’s McGee Park on Thursday, Nov. 21.
Emergency preparedness
Local first responder teams part of county safety exercise LAUREN DUFF Tri-City Tribune Local government agencies and response teams will participate in a full-scale safety exercise that is part of a New Mexico Department of Homeland Security initiative to improve emergency management throughout San Juan County. The safety exercise will begin at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, at different locations within the county. Kinder Morgan, who is sponsoring the drill, the county’s Emer-
gency Management Office, and San Juan College will be testing local emergency response agencies to see if they can respond collectively to emergencies when resources are called to multiple locations. “We always have an industry sponsor because it is a great way for the emergency response teams to get to know the inner workings of the industry, so if there is a disaster of some sort they would know how to respond at different locations,” said Jodie Hooser, San Juan County Emergency Management Office public information
officer. The safety exercise scenario will involve a staged shooting at San Juan College, followed by an attack at a natural gas pipeline. “We have been engaged and involved with the planning of what type of drill would be put forth, and we will utilize Kinder Morgan assets partially for that drill,” said Doug Schminke, operations manager for Kinder Morgan. The public can expect to see emergency responders in full gear. They will also hear sirens and may see police, fire and ambulances
traveling with lights and sirens to and from the locations. “We want to make the training experience as realistic as possible. Don’t panic; this is just a drill. Just use caution when you are driving near the areas of the drill,” Hooser said. The exercise will take place in four locations around the county: San Juan College, Kinder Morgan facility on CR 4900 in Bloomfield and San Juan Regional Medical Center, and an Emergency Operation Center drill will take place at the county’s Fire Operations building in Aztec. The pre-staging areas for the
training exercise will be in the parking lot of Heights Middle School in Farmington and in the Bloomfield High School parking lot. During the exercise, the San Juan College Library will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 12. Classes will continue on schedule; however, there may be alternate access into some buildings. For further information, go to www.sanjuancollege.edu. Other businesses and locations near all of the sites will be open and will continue to do business as usual during the drill.
Radiance Foundation
Bomberger promotes life, adoption; shares message at banquet DEBRA MAYEUX Tri-City Tribune Ryan Bomberger always knew he was adopted. He was the first adopted child, at the age of 6 weeks old, to be welcomed into the home of Andrea and Henry Bomberger, but he was not the last. The family grew throughout his childhood to include 11 other children of multiple races and cultural backgrounds. Now an adult, Bomberger promotes life and adoption through his Radiance Foundation, an organization that addresses a myriad of social issues in the context of “individual purpose,” he explained during a speech presented at the annual San Juan County Right to Life banquet on Sept. 27 at the Courtyard by Marriott in Farmington. One of the main focuses of the Radiance Foundation is to promote adoption as a viable option to unwanted

and unplanned pregnancies. “Adoption isn’t just for the child, it transforms the family. It transforms the community and it could transform the world, because it is such an act of mercy,” Bomberger said. Bomberger expressed gratitude to his mother for choosing life and offering her child to a loving couple for adoption. His mother was young and had been raped. She found herself pregnant with Ryan, who was named
by his adopted parents. When she gave him to the Bombergers, he said, the “adoption unleashed his purpose,” as it does in all children given the opportunity to live. Interestingly, Bomberger also adopted his first child. He had met his future wife, who found herself single, pregnant and abandoned by the baby’s father. His wife chose to keep the baby girl, and Bomberger became the little girl’s father after the couple married. It was one
of the most natural things in the world for Bomberger, who was surrounded by love from both his adopted parents and siblings throughout his life. He pointed out that even when a pregnancy is unplanned, it could still have purpose. “Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned,” he said. “God can take what we see in the physical as tragedy and turn it into possibility.” This is what happened with his life. Bomberger took the fact that he was an African American man and someone who was adopted and turned it into a message about race and abortion. Through the Radiance Foundation, he and his wife began advertising campaigns in inner cities across the country about the black community having high rates of abortion. One of the first billboards his foundation put up showed a man with a pregnant
woman and it said “Fatherhood begins in the womb.” This did not fit the narrative for mainstream America, according to Bomberger, yet it was well received. “It was amazing to get emails from people supporting us,” he said. “We have an insane culture of abandonment, where men don’t have to be responsible.” He believes that abortion and poverty have taken the place of fathers in America, but he also believes adoption is a way to fight poverty. The majority of children put up for adoption find their way into two-parent households, where there is stability and love. “We encourage birth moms to look at the beauty of adoptions, and we let moms know their child will be loved and wanted,” Bomberger said. He was loved and wanted by his parents. “My mom wanted to elevate human life,” he said. She did that through adoption. She once
was a little girl given up for adoption when she was 4, but all she wanted was to someday be a mommy, and she was. Now Andrea Bomberger has her children and 34 grandchildren. She realized her purpose. Bomberger continues each day to realize his own purpose. “We have this radical notion. We believe life has purpose,” he said. He fights against a culture that devalues life and works with such people as Alveda King to fight for life in every culture, because “the rights of the child need to be protected before and after birth,” according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Bomberger said. Bomberger shared this message with nearly 200 people at the banquet. These people also represented different races, cultures and religions coming together to share a message for life in San Juan County.

As Halloween approaches, if you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Iowa, you might want to keep in mind your state's tax policy. If you're buying a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o'-lantern, you'll need to pay tax on the gourd. Pumpkins used for food purposes, however, are subject to no such tax.

Nellie That took 20 minutes, which didn’t make the nice and sweet and kind nurse very happy on accounta she was heavily “booked” for the afternoon. Whatever. When NN was all but butt naked, the not-quiteas-nice, sweet, kind nurse forced her on the scale. The scale heaved and groaned and balked and the notquite-as-nice, sweet, kind nurse asked NN to get off the scale and excused herself. The NQANSKN came back a few minutes later, accompanied by a big burly guy (who NN is pretty sure is never, ever forced on to one of those nasty evil scales) who hauled in another scale. The BBG placed the ’nother
scale next to the first one and the NQANSKN told NN to get back on the scale, but to balance her body on both scales. NN thought that was a little strange, but she straddled the scales and held her breath (NN read on Everything’s Better Deep Fried that if you hold your breath when they’re weighing you, it could take several ounces from your weight). After pushing the little weight thingey on both scales, then calling a math expert to add the numbers, the NQANSKN told NN to get off the scales and back up next to the height chart. She instructed NN to put her feet, her back and her head on the chart so she could “check” NN’s height. NN tried, she really did. Her feet went back to meet the

chart, but her back couldn’t quite do that on account NN’s rearend was in the way. NN’s shoulders were several inches (OK, maybe feet) from the chart on the wall and the NQANSKN wasn’t a happy camper. After pushing and shoving (with a little help from the Big Burly Guy), they decided NN had shrunk a quarter inch from her last checkup. When NN took exception to that, saying she was eating deep fried foods that were s’posed to help her grow taller, the NQANSKN suggested that if NN were to quit eating fried foods, period, maybe her rearend would meet the wall chart and they wouldn’t have to guess how tall she was. The NQANSKN then also suggested NN carry her 300 pounds (that was not an accurate number either, but by then NN knew better than to mess with Nurse Wretched) and her hooker heels and go to the examination room. It was several minutes before the healthcare professional assigned to “overweight, undertall old ladies” came into the room. The healthcare professional was very nice and apologized for having to get an addi-

tional scale to accurately weight NN. After the usual probing, checking, poking and prodding, the healthcare professional excused herself for a few minutes. NN thinks it may have been on accounta after all the probing, poking and prodding, NN passed a little gas from the Everything’s Better Deep Fried breakfast she’d enjoyed before checking in for her checkup. It was that last little probe the nice healthcare professional did, and sometimes you can keep from passing gas and ‘nother times, you just can’t. Whatever. NN heard someone outside the door of the examining room call for oxygen STAT and when the door opened about 20 minutes later, it was another healthcare professional who explained that the first healthcare professional was being treated herownself in an adjoining examining room. This healthcare professional stood in the doorway of the room and told NN she would need blood work done and that NN should have that done someplace out of town, in NN’s best interests. Then she told NN she needed to learn to love vegetables, fruits and chicken and that none of them should be deep fried. Then she mentioned the dreaded four-letter word – diet. NN is concerned about maybe getting and maybe staying healthy and understands she may need to lose a little weight (maybe not the weight the healthcare professionals and Nurse Wretched think, but maybe a little), so she did some “research” and came up with a “shake it till you make it” diet that allows you to have two shakes a day, several snacks, and a “balanced” third meal. NN loves it – she fixes her shakes in the morning – you’re s’posed to use milk for your shakes, but NN has decided Bailey’s Irish Cream fits NN’s lifestyle a little better and it is cream, for goodness sake – and puts beer nuts, bananas, chocolate covered strawberries and Oreo cookies in it. You blend it a few minutes and you have the best shake you’ve ever tasted – ever. NN hasn’t

at the movies GRAVITY
MACHETE KILLS
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).
Rating: R Synopsis: In MACHETE KILLS, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
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.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass's multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through Greengrass's distinctive lens - a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization.
PRISONERS
RUSH
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-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in.
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.
RUNNER RUNNER 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Nellie yet lost any weight, although her fingers seem thinner, so she can message some of her friends and suggest they try her new weight loss “secret.” NN is nothing if not willing to take good care of herself and eat healthy. And, ya know, deep fried celery isn’t a bad thing. . . . . So, while NN was dieting this week, people had birthdays. Clyde Ward, Carol Miller, Nancy Thomas, Pat Gross, Roberta Wood and the beautiful Celeste Rudolfo, daughter of Maria and Emet Rudolfo, all celebrated birthdays without NN. Whatever. Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s Most Popular Drivers for 10 (count ’em – 10) years in a row also celebrated a birthday this week. NN wanted to be on Junior’s pit crew or PR crew or his cleaning lady, but his “people” won’t let NN near him. One time, at the Vegas track, NN threw herself on the hood of his car and said she would-
n’t leave until Junior married her or made her his “significant other” and a restraining order for life is served. Whatever. Maybe NN will apply to be a cocktail waitress at Junior’s Whisky River bar. She has her server’s permit, ya know. For reals. And NN looks real good in hooker heeled cowboy boots and fringe. Just sayin’. . . . . NN plans to attend the Fall Art Walk tonight in Historic Downtown Farmington. NN has considered being an artist herownself and did actually take an art lesson one time from the talented and beautiful Karen Ellsbury. ’Cept NN wanted to paint nudes and Karen couldn’t find a guy who would pose nude so NN could fingerpaint him. Whatever. NN’s also checking out the Desert View Family Counseling Center’s Annual Birdhouse Fundraiser. NN is also considering having the wonderful Anne and Marc of Come to the Feast create her Thanksgiving dinner. NN is planning for 12,
although she’s only inviting four. NN loves the food Anne and Marc do and wants the leftovers, which could last her through Thanksgiving weekend. Just sayin’. . . . NN had dinner with Janna Zink and Eleanor Townsend, wants to do Friday Night Fun with Randy and Vicki Thille and Brenda Shepherd sometime soon, would like to try the beautiful and wonderful Gayle Dean’s Impossible Pie sometime (Valerie Uselman had it in 1977 and is STILL raving about it!), checked in with Lisa Martin, Tyson Foutz, Randy Randall, Kim Espinosa, Barbara Chambers, Rebecca St. Marie, Bill Papich (who invited NN to lunch, then stood her up – whatever), and Randy Large. NN also plans to attend Majestic Media’s Pinked Cowboy Soiree next Friday night. NN is a dancin’ fool and looks good in pink and, most importantly, supports the fight against cancer. NN would LOVE it if all her peeps shared the fun with her. Just sayin’. . . . .
