LAUREN DUFFTri-City Tribune

After seven years of planning andmore than 60 public meetings, SanJuan County Commissioners have agreedto take the first formal step in imple-menting zoning regulations within theunincorporated areas of the county.

Commissioners unanimously ap-proved the publication of notice ofintent to adopt Ordinance 84, or theLand Use Development Code, duringan Aug. 20 regular meeting.

County Operations Officer MikeStark said he feels these zoning regu-lations are not “controversial” because

DEBRA MAYEUXTri-City Tribune

A project to widen all of FoothillsDrive will be done in two phases andmight not be completed for five years.

Councilor Jason Sandel asked the Farm-ington City Council to reconsider a staffproposal to design the roadway fromHolmes to Lakewood, and then wait ayear before designing the rest of the road.

“I don’t do procurement and I don’t do

streets, but I do representing for constituents.If there is someone who lives on Jackrabbit– how is their input going to tie into thetraffic plan from Holmes to Lakewood?”Sandel asked, saying he is concerned thatFoothills residents might not be includedin the discussion about how their streetwill look. “There are a lot of people reallynervous about all of this and that theirvoices are not going to be heard.”


Abandoned homes and unsafe rental prop-erties were the topic of discussion Aug. 20when the Farmington City Council askedstaff to look into developing a housing codeordinance.

The topic originally was brought upearlier this summer under the CommunityDevelopment Block Grant discussions.

Pamela Drake and Lynn Love, both ofSan Juan County Partnership, informed thecity that there were unsafe rental propertieswithin city limits. Councilor Mary Fischertook the discussion further and began re-searching the locations. What she discoveredwere low-income properties including mobilehomes and motel rooms that are substandardat best.

“San Juan County Partnership has en-countered instances of the roofs falling in,floors falling in, appliances not working.They have non-working smoke detectorsand bars on the windows that don’t open,whereas residents would be trapped insidein the instance of a fire,” Fischer said of dis-cussions she had with Love. “These motelsnear city hall – there are huge occupancy is-sues. I don’t know if anyone inspects hotelsand motels for bedbugs, I think that is donein other communities.”

She believes the problem is bad and couldbecome “huge” if unaddressed. “I wouldn’tthink it would be kosher to have bars onwindows that don’t open with only oneexit,” she said, asking if the city’s fire marshalinspects motels and other public places tosee if they are up to code.


A local child care business is on tap to provide280 local children with free pre-Kindergarten classesthis school year.

Barbara Luna Tedrow’s two child care facilities –A Gold Star Academy and Smiling Faces ChildCare, received grant funding from the Children,Youth and Families Department, CYFD, to bringpre-K classes to children in Farmington. She alsohas been given the go ahead to open a new facilitythat should be approved by the Aztec City Commissionduring an Aug. 26 meeting.

“We’re one of the biggest private centers in thestate,” said Kim Grider, an assistant to Tedrow.“You’re child will be ready for school, when they

start it, after participating in the program.”A Gold Star Academy first received funding for

pre-K services eight years ago, one year after formerNew Mexico Governor Bill Richardson decided tostart the free pre-K program with a $1 million grantshared between CYFD and the Public EducationDepartment. Since that time only 20 percent ofNew Mexico’s 4-year-old children have had accessto the service, and this year the state pumped $29.9million into the program statewide.

“Eighty percent of a child’s brain is developed by4 years old,” Tedrow said. “He wanted to put theprocesses in place to set a child up for success.”

Tedrow has been offering the free pre-K programevery year since, because she receives state funding

the code will not affectexisting businesses andhomes, and citizens hadthe opportunity to voicetheir opinions at the publicmeetings. “We feel we cov-ered the basis of citizeninput but we will have an-other hearing to do thatagain,” Stark said.

Citizens may attend an-other public meeting onSept. 11 at the CountyCommission Chambers inAztec. The open housewill begin at 5 p.m., wherethe public can ask ques-tions regarding the code,and then the public meet-ing will begin at 6 p.m.

“This is another oppor-tunity to be able to haveand hear many concernsor questions that the public

may have,” County CEOKim Carpenter added.

There is a need for thesezoning regulations becauseof the high growth in theunincorporated areas, Starksaid. “Those areas needpredictability.”

Fifteen years ago, thecounty attempted to passzoning regulations. Itfailed, however, due tolack of population in theunincorporated areas, headded.

One benefit from zon-ing regulations is to en-hance the county’s eco-nomic development, saidLarry Hathaway, GeneralServices and CommunityDevelopment administratorfor the county. New busi-nesses which move to the

area need the “assurancethat there is organization”within the unincorporatedareas, which does not in-clude municipalities or theNavajo Nation, he ex-plained.

“We also will knowwhere businesses are lo-cated in the county, whichwould be a safety andhealth benefit,” Hathawayadded.

The Land Use Devel-opment Code’s purpose isto “prevent the overcrowd-ing of land” and “preserveand improve the characterof development in theCounty and its neighbor-hoods,” according to thecode.

Under this code, theunincorporated areas

would be divided into sev-eral land use districts: res-idential neighborhood pro-tection, commercial high-way, and multiple-use.These districts identifywhere future commercialbusinesses, agriculturalbusinesses, and homes canbe built.

There is an industrialdistrict, but that area in-volves only the San JuanCounty Industrial Park.

Stark pointed out ex-isting businesses andhomes will not be affectedby the Land Use Devel-opment Code.

For example, adult en-tertainment stores wouldbe allowed to develop onlyin the multiple use and in-dustrial districts. However,

Something Sexy, locatedon U.S. Hwy 64 would notbe affected by the codebecause it would be grand-fathered in under existingrules and regulations.

Even though existinghomes and businesses willnot be affected, citizensstill have the opportunityto voice their concerns dur-ing the Sept. 11 publicmeeting. There, countymaps with the land useproposals will be availablefor viewing.

Commissioner MargaretMcDaniel said it is impor-tant for the public to attendthese meetings because “Wewant to do what is bestfor the entire county.”

After the public meeting,any changes to the maps

will be made before theCounty Commission votes,during an Oct. 11 regularmeeting, whether or notto approve the Land UseDevelopment Code.

If approved, the codewill go into effect on thatday. There will, however,be a 90-day period forcitizens to petition changesto their land use.

“This is another way toshow the Commission istrying to not adopt thiswith a heavy handed ap-proach,” Stark said. “Weare trying to be as accom-modating and flexible aspossible.”

I’ll admit it I am joined atthe hip with all my techgadgets.

I am in awe of all thegreat things the technologicalage has given us. Our accessto information has increasedexponentially as has our pro-ductivity.

But there is always a yingto every yang.

I can’t help thinking aboutall the things that are fallingby the wayside.

Many scholars and psy-chologists have begun look-ing at the effect technologyis having on communica-tion.

They point out a doorhas opened for our lives tobecome over-saturated withcommercialism. Many feelintelligent conversation anddebate is being replaced withmeaningless nonsense andhardheadedness. They pointto the number of lackadaisicalpeople with short attentionspans who ignore what isreally important in life.

My concern is the lack ofactual conversation and freeflow of ideas.

Email and texts, whileconvenient and time saving,also smother transparent dis-cussion.

Most notable in the busi-ness environment, quicktweets, texts and emails have

turned many into insecuritymonsters. Employees, ladderclimbers and managers useit as a way to “look out fornumber one,” point fingersor tell someone what theythink of them and their abil-ities without having to speakto them in person.

This leads to fear, evenmore finger pointing, thenmore fear and even less realcommunication. All this re-sults in an unhealthy workenvironment.

It cuts out the social in-teraction and makes it easyfor people hide behind wordsand take the cowardly wayout.

Trust between fellow em-ployees and trust in managersis brought to a screechinghalt.

We all perceive things dif-ferently and the only realmethod of connection forhuman beings is a one-on-one conversation.

When you get an emailor a text in all caps does italways have to mean some-one is yelling at you? Doesa smiley face mean you agree?Does a one-word answermean the person is angry?

Studies show that onlyseven percent of communi-cation is based on the writtenor verbal word. A whopping93 percent is based on non-

verbal body language.Anyone can hide behind

the text, an email, a Facebookpost or a tweet, projectingany image they want andcreating an illusion, if theychoose. Without the abilityto receive nonverbal cues,their audiences are none thewiser.

Assumptions are beingmade from terrifyingly littlebits of information.

Sometimes when I getemails I can just feel the fearand anger oozing forth.

It is crazy the ease withwhich people can blame oth-ers or be downright rude inan email. After all, there isno pain and no consequences.

Blame is an easy way todump pain and discomfort.Accountability requires a dif-ficult and respectful conver-sation that lingers, whereasblame fizzles for the personas soon as he or she pushesthe send button.

One thing I know aboutmyself is that at the speedof light I can drop into judg-ment and blame mode. I’ma pretty fast typist so I can

bang out a judgmental meanand sarcastic response in theblink of an eye.

But, the older I get, theeasier it is to stop, rereadwhat I typed while in a mo-ment of white hot fury, andeither tone it down or deletethe email before pushingsend.

Sometimes I just need toget my aggressions out ofmy body and I’m moremindful now of practicingthe “do unto others ” credo.So, I wait, think about howimportant it is to respond,all while repeatedly tellingmyself it is better to be kindthan to be right.

Not often enough do Ipick up the phone and callthe person on the other endof the text or email.

This excess of communi-cation and high-speed tech-nology also has led to a del-uge of 24-hour news.

While it has always beeneasy to just blame the mediafor society’s woes, these daysit has become an Olympicsport.

Some of it I understand.

Even with the amount ofnews that is available thesedays, there are times whenthere are too few stories andtoo much time to fill. Mind-less nonsense is what isturned out to try to matchthe millions of media com-petitors. Many times thisrush to be first ends withincomplete, incorrect andjust plain silly information.

It is all too easy to callthe media mean, uncaringor uninformed. This is es-pecially evident for us whenwe cover issues or broachsubjects that many wish wewould ignore. And, unfor-tunately, opinions with whichthey disagree. Dun dun duh.(insert dramatic sound effecthere)

I have gotten some emailsthat would blow your mind.

In a society filled withfear, differing opinions are,theoretically, not supposedto exist. Fear makes debateobsolete and “because I saidso,” becomes the final word.

When news is your busi-ness you develop a toughskin and many times haveto remind people that youare doing a job and it’s notpersonal.

Technology is here to stayand texting, email and tweetsaren’t going anywhere. Thesame psychologists and schol-

ars who bemoan the down-side of these forms of com-munication know it is point-less to recommend avoidingthem entirely.

You may think that onceyou send that sarcastic orangry message it is off yourplate and you have avoidedthe pain, taken care of theuncomfortable conversationor stopped your fear. Youhave, after all, made yourpoint abundantly clear andexplained what you expect– and it is over. That couldnot be further from the truth.All those feelings that youare happy you avoided arethe point.

Conversation can bemessy, but out of it comesunderstanding, compassionand resolution with anotherhuman being.

Without it we are all outhere hiding in plain sightand soon we won’t have anyidea how to have a conver-sation.

Maybe the next time youexperience an issue via emailor receive an angry text, askyourself if it is somethingthat would be better dealtwith by a real conversation.Then have the courage andthe compassion to stop email-ing and pick up the phone.

Better yet, take them tocoffee or to lunch.

The attacks on Americans’freedoms began slowly tobe rebuffed last week – noton a foreign battlefield, butin changes of governmentpolicy. A federal court rulingand two course correctionsby the Obama administrationnarrow the criteria for whenAmericans can be spied onor otherwise treated as sus-pects, and how long someonehas to be punished for com-mitting certain nonviolentcrimes. Together, the actionsshould start restoring libertiesnibbled away at in the bidto catch criminals – foreignand domestic – and rebuild-ing trust in government trans-parency.

Concerns over domesticspying on U.S. citizens re-cently resurfaced after formerNational Security Agencycontractor Edward Snowden,now hiding in Russia, dis-closed the government could

be collecting records of vir-tually all the cellphone callsand Internet communicationsof ordinary Americans.

The steps announced byPresident Barack Obama tomodify the Foreign Intelli-gence Surveillance Act won’tstop surveillance, but theywill let the public in on thegovernment’s legal justifica-tions for it. There will be anindependent review panel;reforms to sections of thePatriot Act are promised.Obama has also acknowl-edged flaws in how the For-eign Intelligence SurveillanceCourt operates.

In announcing thechanges, the president would-

n’t credit whistleblowerSnowden. But Snowden’sdisclosures generated a freshwave of justifiable concernabout intrusions into Amer-icans’ privacy, beginningwhen former PresidentGeorge W. Bush signed thePatriot Act into law.

Another victory for indi-vidual rights came with afederal judge’s ruling againstthe New York City PoliceDepartment’s “stop-and-frisk”program. U.S. District JudgeShira A. Scheindlin, declaringthat officers routinely stopblacks and Hispanics “whowould not have been stoppedif they were white,” called ita “policy of indirect racial

profiling” and said it violatesminority rights.

Of the nearly 700,000police stops made last year,an estimated 85 percent wereAfrican-American or His-panic. Also of concern tothe judge was a statementby Police Commissioner Ray-mond Kelly that 70 to 75percent of the people com-mitting violent crimes areAfrican-American.

The judge didn’t call foran end to the practice, butasked a federal monitor tooversee compliance with theConstitution. Police officersin at least five precincts willbe required to wear camerasso encounters can be re-viewed. Mayor MichaelBloomberg, who credits thepolicy with lowering thecrime rate, plans to appeal.But New York City PoliceDepartment statistics, revealedon Sunday’s “Meet the Press,”

that of 4.4 million stopsmade between 2004 and2012, 88 percent resultedin no further law enforcementaction. All but 10 percentof the stops were of African-Americans or Hispanics.

The ruling underscoresthe need for a justice systemthat protects the rights ofthe vulnerable against theexcesses of the powerful.

U.S. Attorney General EricHolder took a different stabat reforming one of last cen-tury’s most counterproductivecriminal justice policies inannouncing that the JusticeDepartment will no longerpursue mandatory minimumsentences for certain low-level, nonviolent federal drugcrimes and that federal pros-ecutors will have more dis-cretion in charging people.

Under federal sentencingguidelines passed in the1980s, drug felons must

serve at least 85 percent oftheir sentences and are noteligible for parole. With twoprior convictions, the sen-tence can become life.

Holder’s move will savemoney, shrink the prisonpopulation and prevent thesystem from gobbling upmore nonviolent addicts.

These three reconsidera-tions, while not radical re-forms, are small, incrementalsteps toward a more just so-ciety and ones that betterbalance the rights of indi-viduals with the necessarygoals of preventing crimeand further terrorist attacks.And fighting foreign warsin the name of defendingAmerican freedoms will befor naught unless we alsodefend them at home.

“I have no desire for usto come in like storm troop-ers to straighten up all ofthe rental housing in Farm-ington, but if there are in-stances where people’shealth and safety are beingcompromised I would liketo see that cleaned up,” Fis-cher said.

In previous meetings,City Manager Rob Mayesstated that the New MexicoHealth Department handledthese types of complaints.He even said the city “mightbe surprised” at just howmuch the Health Depart-ment does.

The Health Department,however, has nothing todo with inspecting prop-erties. The New MexicoEnvironment Departmentwould be the entity taskedwith doing inspections, butits jurisdiction only coversswimming pools and restau-rants.

Mayor Tommy Robertswanted to know if there is

a state law that would giverenters a way to combatabusive landlords that donot care for their proper-ties.

“One of the things thatcomes to mind is not local,but landlord tenant law –what issues does it address?Issues of rent or repair?Does it give tenants a re-dress?” Roberts asked

“There is a procedure fora tenant to bring actionagainst a landlord for thingssuch as appliances notworking,” City AttorneyJay Burnham said, addingit would probably be underthe jurisdiction of the courts.

“We need more informa-tion on the scope of thelandlord-tenant law in NewMexico,” Roberts said. “Weneed to identify the scopeof the problem.”

The mayor also askedwhether there could be “un-intended consequences” ifthe city involved itself in ahousing ordinance. “Would

the acts of the city of Farm-ington have the conse-quence of rental increases?I would need to have moreinformation about costs as-sociated with implementa-tion and enforcement. Idon’t perceive this as wegrant permission to staff tostart drafting an ordinance,”he said.

Fischer asked if the staffcould also consider fore-closed upon or abandonedproperty with regards topowers of condemnation.She had a particular interestin homes where metham-phetamine labs may haveexisted or in properties thatare deemed unsafe.

Councilor Jason Sandelmentioned homes that couldbe considered unsafe – onein North Foothills and thesecond on Sycamore Street.

The Foothills home hasa foundation that is crackedand is uninhabitable, win-dows shot out, and frontdoor that is left open. Theneighbors complained thatcriminal activity might begoing on inside the home,so Sandel looked at thecity code and spoke with

city staff about the city’sauthority to clean it up.“The response back was theextent of the city’s authorityis we can tell them to cleanup the weeds in the frontyard,” Sandel said.

Councilor Dan Darnellsaid he did not believe that,because he had workedwith the city on a propertythat was in receivership.

“I know that we havesome ability and some ca-pacity. I worked with cityattorney’s office and codecompliance on a home onHubbard,” he said, addingit was a difficult process.“It took us a long time,and we had multiple peoplewho wanted to come inand rehab the house. I knowwe have a process and Idon’t know if it needs tobe streamlined somewhat.

Sandel said he receivedan email from Assistant CityManager Bob Campbellthat said the city code com-pliance officer would senda letter to the homeownerand tell them to clean upthe yard.

“The owner died, thespouse went bankrupt.

We’re stuck as a communitywith this problem, and wedon’t have any authorityother than to tell someoneto clean up the weeds,”Sandel said. “I’m sittingback trying to representpeople, saying that this sit-uation should not exist inour community.”

He also spoke about ahome on Sycamore Streetthat also was abandonedtwo years ago and had noknown owner. The homewas vacant and secured bynails when it started on fireon Aug. 13 and was de-stroyed. “I think we shouldbe concerned about thishappening in our commu-nity. We need to begin theprocess of developing ahousing ordinance to em-power the community andour staff to fix some ofthese wrongs,” Sandel said.

Councilor Gayla McCul-loch said that it might soundgood on the surface to writean ordinance, but she isworried the ordinancemight be too complicated.

“I am sympathetic to allof that. A city in Texas hasthis great code – it starts

out good and then it’s a60-page code,” McCullochsaid. “I see it opening upthis huge (issue) answeringall of the what ifs. I’mafraid it will grow on towhat we can afford to en-force.”

Darnell agreed, sayinghe didn’t want to “createanother layer of bureau-cracy,” while Roberts saidhe wasn’t sure of the prob-lem.

“I don’t understand thescope of the problem,”Roberts said. “Considerationof a housing code ordinanceis a big project. I think wereally have to have a goodunderstanding of the con-cept we want to have inplace. Does it accomplishwhat we need it to accom-plish? I think it’s worthtaking some time to getfeedback on these pointsthat have been raised.”

Mayes said he neededat least one month to havestaff further research theissue. “I think we couldput together a pretty com-prehensive staff report thatcould become the basis forour next step forward.”

for the services throughCYFD. She recently ex-panded the service to in-clude Smiling Faces ChildCare Center, on West Elm

Street in the heart of Down-town Farmington, and shereceived the non-profit sta-tus.

The other institutions of-fering free pre-K are Pres-byterian Medical Servicesand the Farmington SchoolDistrict, but Tedrow wantedto provide parental choice– “where some children cancome and have a wrap-around service” that catersto a working parent, becauseit offers all-day care.

She currently has 140children enrolled at bothFarmington locations, whichprovide room for 140 chil-dren at A Gold Star Acad-emy and 80 children atSmiling Faces. With the ad-dition of the Aztec facility,slated to open in the West-side Plaza, she will be ableto offer 60 more childrena place to learn.

If the Aztec City Com-mission approves the zoning

change for the facility,Tedrow said she can signup the 60 children and beready to provide them in-struction beginning Sept.3.

In addition to the Aztecservices, Tedrow said CYFDgave her funds to bus chil-dren to her centers. Thebuses would run to andfrom the Troy King Roadarea and the Animas Ele-mentary School District.Every child also receives afree lunch.

She believes the statesupport has come her waybecause the community hasbacked her programs. “It’staken us years to build it,and CYFD feels if they giveus the investment, Farm-ington will support whatwe need to do,” Tedrowsaid.

Grider added that shewas surprised by the com-munity support when she

moved here from Las Crucesearlier this year. “I havebeen more impressed bywhat the business commu-nity has done to help Barb– and by the people whoreach out and donate equip-ment,” she said.

“We’ve got a town and acollaboration you don’t seeanywhere else,” Tedrowsaid. “Farmington believesin its children.”

In addition to the pre-Kprogram, Tedrow plans toexpand her non-profit toprovide services that offera full-fledged child devel-opment program, whichalso includes child care,home visits, counseling forfamilies and children anddevelopmental services tochildren with special needs.

The majority of theCouncil did not agreewith Sandel’s proposal tocomplete the project allat once, so the Councilvoted Aug. 20 to awardthe engineering contractto a local business andproceed with the projectin phases. At issue wasthe fact that city staff is-sued a request for proposalfor only a portion ofFoothills Drive, and Soud-er Miller, a local company,came back with the lowestbid. If the city went backout to bid for a completeFoothills design, SouderMiller might miss out onthe work, and MayorTommy Roberts andCouncilor Dan Darnelldid not want that to hap-pen.

“There is a concern, ifwe go through a secondprocess, Souder Millerwould be disadvantaged,”Roberts said during themeeting. “The compellingarguments for me, is wehave started a process un-der the phasing process,and the Council wouldlike to preserve that rela-tionship (with SouderMiller) because we liketo do business with localfirms.”

Sandel said he wants acomplete plan and hequestioned the feasibilityof doing projects in phas-es. “My point is I wouldlike for there to be a com-prehensive plan forFoothills. If we need topull all the way back, thenlet’s pull all the way back– have a bike plan and awalking plan and a safeplace for our community.I just want it done,” hesaid

Public Works DirectorJeff Smaka stated thatPiñon Hills Boulevard wasdone in multiple phases.“We built Piñon HillsBoulevard in phases andit was widened in phases,also. Once you set the de-

sign on one phase youwill come back and growthat design,” he pointedout.

“That is perfect argu-ment as to why we needto look at the entire designof the street,” Sandel said.

“Yes, you can make thatpoint,” City Manager RobMayes said. “Rather thanputting money in the de-sign, we put the moneyinto brick and mortar andgot the road built. Theseare huge dollar projects.That’s why they are donein phases.”

Mayes added that theMetropolitan PlanningOrganization has com-pleted a roads plan forthe city and Foothills wasincluded in that plan.

Sandel wanted to havea “very clear idea of whatFoothills would look likein 20 years,” for the resi-dents, “and getting to lookat 1700 feet is not goingto give them a clear pic-ture,” he said.

“I think the Metropol-itan Planning Organiza-tion can be invaluable inproviding informationabout this,” Darnell said.“We’ve got completestreets and this would bea great opportunity to putthat idea into the design.That would be piece ofit, so we are not just look-ing at 1700 linear feet.”

Councilor Mary Fischersaid the entire projectseemed to be “backward.”

“It seems we shouldhave an overall plan ofwhat this should look likebefore having a completeplan,” Fischer said. “Thisis not a good way to ap-proach the neighborhoodwithout knowing whatthey want or need. If wecould find the path ofleast damage – I reallyhave concerns that we aregoing to have more thanone company design it.”

Mayes said there is abig difference between a

conceptual plan and en-gineering. “The charac-terization that staff hasscrewed this up, is notfair. … The neighborshave been involved. Thisis now how roads arebuilt. It’s not that we havedone it backwards. It isn’tthat this has been screwedup by staff. We’re rightback where we started.”

Sandel stated that hejust wants to ensure thecommunity is involved inthe process, because therewas not a lot of input onthe development of HoodMesa Trail.

“We moved forwardwith Hood Mesa Trailwithout going to engi-neering. I remember inbuilding Hood Mesa Trail,there was a lot of con-sternation with it. … Ididn’t take the conceptand take it back to thepublic and say ‘How dowe want this to be insideof our community?’” hesaid. “This is a great op-portunity for us to takein a large stretch of road(Foothills Drive) and keepthe community feel. Wehave to take a large stepforward without goingback to the community. I

don’t know if it was evertalked about in phases tothe public.”

Sandel asked for a spec-ified plan from the citymanager’s office describ-ing how the city would

go to the public and getinput. “It’s an excellentopportunity for us as acommunity to move some-thing forward and dosomething different,”Sandel said.

The Council agreed tomove the project forwardalong with a plan to seekcomments from the publicon how the roadwayshould look when it iscompleted.


I am married to a Star-bucks fiend (sounds betterthan user or addict). Anytrip to town includes aquad vente latte four shotsno foam. It is more im-portant than the mail, theheart medicine, the bankdeposit or pickin’ up thekids at day care! On ex-tended trips we drive formiles at all hours of theday or night followingher GPS in search of thatgreen symbol, the one thatlooks like Medusa withradioactive tendrils flamingfrom her head.

To be kind, it has a fla-

vor of its own. It’s not foreverybody but I do thinkit has driven fanatic usersto more serious addictionslike five-hour energydrinks, Tabasco popsiclesand cigars made of burn-ing rubber!

I was in a strange townon a Starbucks missionlast week trying to re-member if it were a GrandeUno Caffe Misto Leonardo

or a dolce capasso nu lattoDivinchi? The barista (thespecial name for Starbuckswaiters that was derivedfrom the character playingthe one-eyed mushroomwearing scuba gear in thebar scene from Star WarsIV) took my order.

He said he didn’t knowcowboys drank Starbucks.

I said, “We invented it!”As I explained it to him,

it became clear to me! Iask you all, you cowboys,hunters, soldiers, Indians,fishermen, prospectors, ex-plorers – all of you whohave roasted squirrel, carp,possum, haunch of wildburro, buzzard drum sticksor spotted owl over acampfire in the wilderness– what did you wash itdown with? That’s right,cowboy coffee!

A handful of coffeegrounds (any brand) in anold pot, put on the openfire and set on boil is therecipe supreme! The potitself is sacred and never

washed. It is this accumu-lation of ingredients thatgives cowboy coffee itsunique flavor.

It is seasoned by theremnants of whatever fallsinto the pot and becomespart of the geological stratathat comprise its lining.It is not unlike a goodpipe whose bowl gets lay-ered with carcinogenic ash,or the wax that builds inyour ears, or the plaquethat barnacles an ol’ dog’steeth.

Starbucks proudly toutsits flavor, but if you reallycrave a strong, rank, acidic,

caffeine stimulant, one thatcan also peel the paint offa backhoe bucket, pene-trate zirconium nuclearfuel rods, and destroy theodor in your son’s tennisshoes, have an old cowboymake you a cuppa in hisblackened pot. You willdiscover Starbucks’ secret.

A WORD OF CAU-TION: If you can’t strainyour cowboy coffeethrough two-inch ten-gauge expanded metal, atleast drop a magnet intothe cup before you sip.

AN

Debbie Coburn spendstwo to three hours eachday scrubbing and fillinghorse troughs for the morethan 20 rescue horses livingon her property at FourCorners Equine Rescue.

Instead of stringingChristmas lights in winter,she has to run heaters outto the troughs to keep waterfrom freezing, Coburn said,adding that making sureupwards of three dozenhorses have 15 gallons ofwater each day is quite atask. It also is one for whichshe was happy to receivehelp from volunteers andan area horseman who de-cided to raise money foran automatic watering sys-tem.

Jeff Rendall investigatedan automatic watering sys-tem for his two horses andfound one that worked well.He decided to raise fundsand purchase 10 units tobe installed at the EquineRescue. Rendall began theprocess eight months agoby writing letters to local

businesses and pleading forhelp.

“I thought there’s got tobe a better way than usingtroughs and garden hosesto water these horses,” Ren-dall said.

He needed to raise$7,000 and did so withthe help of a $6,000 grantfrom ConocoPhillips and

more than $1,000 in do-nations from other “muchappreciated” sponsors, Ren-dall said. The 10 units werepurchased and he, alongwith Terry Coburn, Deb-bie’s husband, began in-stalling the systems on Aug.9.

The system goes morethan four feet deep intothe ground and forces thewater to the surface througha pressure system. It is op-erated by the horse pushingon a valve with its nose,and one of the best partsabout the system is that itdoesn’t freeze.

By Sunday, Aug. 11, one

system was fully opera-tional, and Debbie Coburnwas thankful for that. Shesaid this would free up timefor volunteers to have one-on-one contact with thehorses.

“Most of these horsesare here because someoneabused or neglected them,”Coburn said. Volunteerswith a gentle hand and aheart for animals can showthese horses that not allpeople are bad. “There arejust those (bad) people –that is the sad fact – sothere has to be responsiblepeople to step up and help.”

Coburn started Four Cor-ners Equine Rescue in 2004in Aztec, but she workedin horse rescue before that.She started working for anon-profit organization thattook foals off of the “peeline,” Coburn said.

The “pee line” is thename for pharmaceuticalcompanies that use the urine

from pregnant mares tomake estrogen replacementproducts for women. Atone time there were 50,000mares working the “peeline,” and that meant therewould be homes for 50,000unwanted foals.

The numbers have de-creased to about 10,000mares per year, and Coburnhas turned her focus tolocal horses in need. Sheacquired a license from theNew Mexico LivestockBoard to become one ofeight registered horse res-cues in the state.

In 2012 she took in 59horses, with 38 of themcoming from law enforce-ment. This year there are23 horses and 17 camefrom law enforcement.

Coburn is used to re-ceiving those calls from theauthorities. “The phonerings and law enforcementsays, ‘I have a skinny horse,and the owner is willing

Donations help equine rescue purchase automatic watering system

to surrender it,’” she said.Four Corners Equine Rescuetakes in the horse, holds itand rehabilitates it.

She also tries to find ap-propriate homes for the an-imals, but that can be diffi-cult. “It’s not until the endof the rehabilitation thatyou find out their person-ality, so training is thebiggest obstacle to findingthem homes,” Coburn said.

She works with horsetrainer DeLaws Lindsay, ofBloomfield. “It’s mesmer-izing to watch him workwith a horse,” Terry Coburnsaid.

This process is difficultwhen the horse doesn’t trust

humans. Many of the horseshave been neglected, starved,abused and thrown away.Some might even have beena family horse that got tooold, and the owner will callCoburn instead of caringfor a senior citizen horseor euthanizing the animal.

“We are living in a dis-posable society,” she said.“I tell people, ‘This is ahorse, not a dirty diaper.This is a living, breathing,sentient being.’”

Coburn has become vocalon both the local and statelevel trying to change thisattitude. She has pushed forhorse registration to put anend to “stray horses,” because

other countries register theirhorses through the govern-ment. Coburn also has spo-ken out against slaughteringhorses in New Mexico.

“There is no humane wayto slaughter a horse,” shesaid.

The legislature did listento her in 2013 when shemanaged to work with astatewide organization tohave a donation box forhorse rescues passed throughthe legislature and put onthe 2014 New Mexico Statetax return forms.

The money will be ad-ministered through the Live-stock Board, and “It willonly be for licensed rescues,”

Coburn said. In the meantime, Rendall

is helping the Coburns withother fundraising activities.There will be an open housein October at the Rescue,and there will be a Rideand Hike on Nov. 2 in Pi-lares Canyon near Aztec.

“People can either ride theirhorse or hike, and therewill be a barbecue aftertheir morning excursion,”Coburn said.

The money raised willhelp keep the Rescue going,but funds and volunteersalways are needed.

“I would dearly love towork myself out of thisnon-paying job,” saidCoburn, who knows thatwill not happen anytimesoon.

A car ride! A car ride! Acar ride! For most dogsit’s the greatest thing sincethe cookie. But a dog canget motion sickness just aspeople do, which can meanthat even a short car tripbecomes stressful for thedog – and disgusting forthe owner. Fortunately,there are ways to ease oreliminate a dog’s motionsickness, including condi-tioning and medication.

Motion sickness is muchmore common in puppiesand young dogs than inolder dogs, presumably be-cause the ear structuresused for balance aren’t fullydeveloped in puppies. Ifthe first few car rides of adog’s life result in nausea,the dog may begin toequate travel with uncom-fortable sensations, evenafter his or her balancesystem fully matures. There-fore, a dog who suffersmotion sickness should betreated as soon as possi-ble.

Stress can also add tomotion sickness; if a dogrides in a car only to go tothe veterinarian, the nega-tive sensations associatedwith travel can be morepronounced. If a dog con-tinues to appear ill evenafter several car rides, theowner should consult aveterinarian about treatmentfor motion sickness.

Signs and Identification

Not all motion sicknessmanifests as vomiting.Signs of motion sicknessin dogs include:• Inactivity• Listlessness• Uneasiness• Yawning or panting• Whining• Excessive drooling• Vomiting (even on anempty stomach)• Fear of cars

If a dog develops a sec-ondary fear of riding incars, a veterinarian or vet-erinary behaviorist canhelp determine whetherthe cause is motion sick-ness or something else,such as an orthopedic con-dition or anxiety unrelatedto motion sickness.

Affected breedsAll breeds of dogs seem

equally susceptible to mo-tion sickness.

TreatmentTo help the owner pre-

vent or treat motion sick-ness in dogs, veterinariansoften recommend one ormore of the following ap-

proaches:• Help your dog face for-ward while traveling bystrapping him or her intothe seat with a speciallydesigned canine seatbelt.• If you buckle your doginto the front passengerseat, position the seat asfar as possible from thedashboard or disable thepassenger air bag, whichcan be hazardous to dogs.• Lower car windows afew inches to equalize theinside and outside air pres-sures.• Keep the vehicle cool.• Limit your dog’s foodand water consumptionbefore travel.• Give your dog a treat ortwo every time he or shegets into the car.• Give your dog a toythat he or she enjoys andcan have only in the car.• Give your dog a one- totwo-week break from carrides.• Use a different vehicleto avoid triggering yourdog’s negativity responseto your usual vehicle.• Take short car rides toplaces a dog enjoys, suchas the park – especially if

your dog associates carrides only with trips tothe veterinarian’s office.

Gradually build up adog’s tolerance to car rides.The following step shouldtake a few days to a week.1. Accustom your dog toapproaching the car with-out getting into it.2. Spend time with yourdog in the car with theengine off.3. Take short trips (e.g.,around the block) or visityour veterinarian on a “so-cial visit.”4. Take longer trips. Re-ward your dog with praiseand/or treats every timehe or she does somethingwell.

If a dog doesn’t out-grow motion sickness orrespond to conditioningtechniques, consult yourveterinarian about med-ication to help your dog.There is a medication ap-proved for preventingvomiting due to motionsickness in dogs. It iscalled Cerenia. However,if anxiety or other issuesare involved, additionaltherapies may be recom-mended.

A good plan would beto bring your puppy/dogto your veterinarian forwhat we call a “social visit”or a visit with no exami-nation or shots and justvisit the staff, get a treat,

basically to associate goingto the vet as getting ashort car ride experience.

As you cat owners areaware, they are much dif-ferent than dogs. I wouldsuggest you get a goodquality cat carrier for yourcat’s car travel, not onlyfor a better experience foryour cat but for safetypurposes. Sensitize yourcat to its carrier by puttingin a treat with a toweland some catnip so yourcat doesn’t just associatethe carrier with a car or atrip to a vet. Cats lovethe feeling of hiding andthe security of a carrierand ALL cats should bein one when in a car!

The Web-based television re-ality series and race across thecountry – the Fireball Run willroll into Bloomfield in Septem-ber.

The event will cost the cityof Bloomfield approximately$12,000 and Mayor Scott Eck-stein has been seeking spon-sorships to offset the costs. Heasked the Farmington City

Council for a donation duringits Aug. 20 meeting, and Coun-cilor Dan Darnell spearheadedthe request.

“They had approached mein July in explained about whatthis is,” Darnell told the Council.“The purpose of the FireballRun is to bring awareness andactually garner support for find-ing missing persons and missingchildren.”

The show follows 45 racers

who begin in Longmont, Colo.,and travel to Riverside, Calif.They stop in several communi-ties along the way, one of whichwill be Bloomfield, where theywill have to spend $250 andget involved in local challenges.

“There are some expenses thehost city incurs,” Darnell said,adding he believes Farmingtonwill directly benefit from thevisitors to Bloomfield.

He suggested the city of

Farmington donate $2,500 tothe event. The Council ulti-mately decided to donate$1,000 to the city of Bloomfieldto help offset costs of the event.

Mayor Tommy Roberts askedwhether it would be legal forthe city to participate in thistype of activity, consideringthere is an anti-donation clausefor governing bodies in thestate.

enough for me to becomeobsessed with the game ofgolf – not for all the reasonsthat I enjoy the game now,but for the simple fact thatI never wanted to be hu-miliated like that again inmy life – in anything, Imight add.

My new-found obses-sion led me to The Ca-margo Club and a job car-rying clubs for the well-to-do members in the rich-est suburb of Cincinnati.I started my first job bycarrying one bag for 9holes and graduated tocarrying two bags – 1 bagon each shoulder for 18holes the following sum-

mer when I was 12.I cannot begin to explain

the experiences that weregained from the people Icaddied for over a 5- yearspan. I would carry clubsfor the most eclectic groupsthat someone could imag-ine, nice people, angry peo-ple, quiet people, extremelyloud people, savvy businesspeople and people whowould starve if they had towork a day in their lives. Icaddied for presidents andvice presidents of companieslike Procter & Gamble; Icaddied in the same groupas the – now deceased –owner of the CincinnatiBengals, Paul Brown, and

for the current owner ofthe Cincinnati Reds, BobCastellini.

For an impressionableteenager, a lot of what Ilearned, I learned on the6,600-yard layout that Iwould walk four or fivetimes a week. As a caddy,the unwritten rule was thatyou kept your eyes and earsopen and your mouth shutunless the member encour-aged a conversation. Yourjob was to find your “boss’s”golf ball, clean their clubs,carry their clubs, clean upafter them and fetch what-ever they needed in theway of drinks or food.

The funny thing is that

by listening and observingfor four hours a day, Ilearned so many life lessonson how to conduct myself,how not to act, how to in-teract with others and howto pay attention to detail. Ilearned how to get myhands dirty and how todevelop a solid work ethic.But probably the most im-portant life lesson I learnedwas how to get along withothers and build relation-ships – which is the foun-dation to life, in my opinion.

The more I caddied, themore I would get requestedby certain people – andrelationships started form-ing. These relationships

opened doors to better cad-dying jobs that were moreenjoyable, had better con-versations and paid morehandsomely. Many of thepeople who would requestme often, I became veryclose to and consideredthem some of the mentorsthat molded who I havebecome today.

These very concepts arewhat we try to pass alongto the youth today via pro-grams like The First Tee. Itis too bad that golf coursesdon’t encourage more pro-grams like caddying. Notonly did it put some moneyin my pocket, but it taughtlife lessons that I still use

today and will continue touse for the duration of mylife.

So the next time you aregoing to the golf course,encourage your child tocarry your clubs for you.The exercise will be bene-ficial to the both of you,the memories of spendingtime with your child willbe cherished forever, it willteach them work ethic, andthe lessons they learn frominteracting with you andyour friends will be invalu-able. Just remember to tipthem well, so they don’ttell you to “get lost” thenext time you ask them tocaddy.

“The city does participatein communitywide eventsand sponsors events thatbring in economic devel-opment in the community.I think the city can partici-pate and sponsor,” City At-

torney Jay Burnham said.“We are getting somethingin return, so it does not vi-olate the anti-donationclause.”

Roberts asked if the citywould need to quantify the

benefits, but Burnham saidno.

Councilor Jason Sandelsaid that before agreeingto a donation of this type,he would like a budgetshowing how much has

been raised and how thefunds are being spent. Healso wanted to know whattype of benefit the city ofFarmington would receivefrom any type of donation.

Bloomfield’s Mayor ScottEckstein said he didn’t havea budget, but he estimatedthe event would cost thecity between $10,000 and$12,000. He also said thecity would get its logo onthe back of Fireball RunT-shirts that are being print-ed and given to racers andtheir crews. “There will beadvertising benefit to somedegree,” Eckstein said,adding that there also is anopportunity to market theBloomfield and the FourCorners online, because inthe past the run has earned44 million viewers in newscoverage and one millionhours of online viewing.

“Part of the reason thereis a viewer audience, youhave the president of M&MMars driving one of thevehicles and his team willtry to solve riddles,” Ecksteinsaid. “They (the racers) willtravel through Farmingtonen route to Shiprock and,ultimately, Page, Ariz.”

Bloomfield City ClerkJamie Turrentine added that

many of the “participantsare investors themselves.They are wealthy people,and a lot of time they investin the communities theyvisit.”

Sandel said he wantedmore information.

City Councilor Mary Fis-cher asked whether theFarmington Convention andVisitor’s Bureau should besponsoring this type ofevent, instead of the city.

Sandel echoed that re-quest, as did Councilor Gay-la McCulloch.

City Manager Rob Mayessaid there was no need toask the visitor’s bureau, be-cause the city could takethe funds out of the city’sLodger’s Tax revenues,which are earmarked formarketing.

“I'd like to be a goodneighbor and I see that asbeing a basis for a spon-sorship of this event. I canjustify a sponsorship,” Farm-ington Mayor TommyRoberts said, adding healso would like to knowthe overall budget.

Roberts said this raceseems to be good for eco-nomic development in theregion and he would sup-port donating $1,000 to

the event. Eckstein said the money

could be used for a varietyof expenses, from purchas-ing T-shirts and welcomebags to paying for mealsfor racers and their teams.“There are a lot of costs in-volved,” he said, addingthere already are a numberof sponsors giving in-kinddonations.

These sponsors includeCoca-Cola and Pepsi, RobRocket Designs, SeriousTexas Barbecue, MajesticMedia and Clear ChannelRadio. Other sponsors areSan Juan County, San JuanCollege, Envirotech,Williams and Cono-coPhillips.

Majestic EnchantmentFly Fishing, Wines of theSan Juan and Salmon Ruinsall will sponsor racer events.

Councilor McCullochagreed that $1,000 wouldbe sufficient and asked thatit be taken out of theLodger’s Tax Fund.

Darnell made the motionand McCulloch secondedit. They voted in favor ofthe donation, while Sandeland Fischer voted againstit. Mayor Roberts brokethe tie voting in favor ofthe $1,000 donation.

childcare program at NavajoMinistries since its first year inthe mid-1990s. A large portionof the funds raised are generatedby the anglers, who gather per-inch pledges for the largestfish they catch during the two-day, catch-and-release tourna-ment.

“The 2013 San Juan Bi-FlyTournament was a great successdue to the participation of allour anglers and guides. Thededication of so many to thetournament and the Four Cor-ners Home for Children reallymakes the work that goes into

it a labor of love,” TournamentDirector Bob Fitz said.

Fitz added it was encouragingto see a large number of first-time anglers involved in theevent this year.

“It is great to share theirexcitement as they experiencethe San Juan River and fly fish-ing for the first time,” he said.“The opportunity to raise fundsfor a wonderful cause by en-joying a challenging sport, anddoing so on a beautiful river,makes for a great weekend.”

While the fishing competi-tion is intense for the two days,

organizers and participants re-alize the tournament is firstand foremost a major fund-raiser for the Four CornersHome for Children. The FourCorners Home for Children,located on the campus of Nava-jo Ministries at 2103 W. MainSt., has provided a safe andloving home-like environmentfor hundreds of dependent chil-dren in the region since 1953.The childcare program is li-censed to care for up to 28children in three homes. Thehomes have been running atcapacity levels all year due to

an increased demand for serv-ices.

“The support generatedthrough the Bi-Fly Tournamentamazes us each year,” NavajoMinistries Vice President EricFisher said. “During challengingeconomic times for non-profitagencies like ours, the fundsraised during the tournamentwill go a long way in helpingto care for children in need.We would like to thank everyoneinvolved with this year’s event.”

Major sponsors for the Bi-Fly included Citizens Bank,Outback Steakhouse, San Juan

Regional Medical Center andSan Juan Rotary Club.

In addition to the actualtournament, the annual Bi-FlyTournament Banquet was heldAug. 17 at the FarmingtonCivic Center, with more than120 in attendance. More fundswere raised then through nu-merous raffle and auction items.Next year’s Bi-Fly event, the20th annual tournament, isscheduled for Aug. 22-23.

More information on NavajoMinistries and the Four CornersHome for Children is availableat www.navajoministries.org.

His brother Rashad followed.The two players later met

with Davie to ask for their re-turn to the team.

“We are grateful to have thissecond opportunity and are ex-cited to be back with our team-mates,” Rashad and Vershadsaid in a statement on Monday.

“They have to start at thebottom and work their wayback up the depth chart,” Daviesaid after Monday’s workout.“If they can do that, they’ll beout there playing.”

Rashad and Vershad attendedclasses and all football activitieson Monday as the team preparesfor its season opener againstUTSA on Aug 31.

Mr. JonesHe may be third on the depth

chart, but former New Mexicoprep standout Landry Jonesthrew his first NFL touchdownthis week. Jones threw the TDstrike Monday night in a 24-

13 losing effort against Wash-ington. In the game, Jones went9-for-22 for 111. Realistically,the only way he’ll see actionduring the regular season is ifsomething happens to BenRoethlisberger or Bruce Grad-kowski, but Jones will neverforget that game.

Jones was a fourth rounddraft pick out of Oklahoma.His numbers were videogame-like. With the Sooners he rackedup 16,646 passing yards and123 touchdowns.

Some of you might rememberJones in high school. He ledthe Bulldogs to a pair of Class4A state championships. He hada rifle of an arm, throwing forover 7,000 yards and 89 touch-downs in his career.

Finally this week, I don’tknow if any of you had a chanceto see the debut of Fox Sports

1 this week. I know people inglass houses shouldn’t throwstones, but I’m going to pickup a few rocks. Fox Sports Liveco-hosts Jay Onrait and DanO’Toole were a fresh changefrom ESPN, but they tried alittle too hard at times to befunny. I don’t mind some off-the-cuff humor during high-lights, but it ’s not AmateurNight at the Ha-Ha Hole.

I think Fox Sports 1 is awork in progress. They willtake a small number of fansfrom ESPN, based on the factthat Fox is promoting heavycoverage of UFC and NASCAR– partners with Fox – which isdown the list of priorities inBristol.

I still think the MLB networkdoes the best job with baseballhighlights. ESPN is too eastcoast biased for me. (If youdon’t think there’s a bias, justask the people who work there.They will tell you.)

Imitation is a form of flatteryand there’s some theft goingon. Fox uses the live look-insthat ESPN uses during showssuch as Pardon the Interruption.Fox also stole a page from ESPNwhen they hired Regis Philbinas their host of Crowd GoesWild. They are going for theTony Kornheiser grumpy oldman persona. I’m not sure if itworks yet.

Let’s not kid ourselves. ESPNis king when it comes to sportscoverage. They have the games,they have the numbers and theyhave the history. What bothersme about ESPN is I don’t likethe same programs and the samearguments on the same topicsALL DAY. Oh yeah, and I’mnot a Skip Bayless fan, either.Sportscenter can get stale, ChrisBernman’s schtick is old. Givehim a gold watch for his timeserved and move on. Scott VanPelt is brilliant. PTI is originalwith great chemistry. Bill Sim-

mons is a walking encyclopediaof NBA knowledge and the fu-ture of ESPN. His 30-for-30specials are some of the bestsports programs on TV.

Fox Sports 1 doesn’t havethe inventory of programmingyet that ESPN does. The four-letter network has live showsor games almost every hour –or they will dress up the sameshow with a different nameand anchor – but give Fox time.ESPN is named the World WideLeader for a reason. They’veearned it. But I think theirproduct has gone downhill forthe past decade. Don’t get mewrong, I’ll still watch. But whenthe anchors start talking Tebowfor the 20th time today orJohnny Manziel is discussed forthe 10th time within the hour,then I might switch over toFox Sports 1. I’ve been waitingfor years for someone to giveESPN a little competition. Nowit looks like we have some.

Theater Ensemble Artshas brought the community16 years of live theater. Asthe non-profit theater groupenters its 17th season, thereare several activities plannedto help raise funds and keepthe theater from going dark.

“We’re very excited forcommunity theater to be ex-isting after 17 years in Farm-ington,” said Joey Herring,president of the organization.“This is very impressive andsays something to the qualityof the community.”

Theater Ensemble Arts,or TEA, will produce threeplays this season.

The season will open Oct.25 with Neil Simon’s Cali-fornia Suite, which also willbe performed Oct. 26 andNov. 1-3 in the San JuanCollege Little Theatre.

There will be auditionsto cast this production at 6p.m. Aug. 27 and at 4 p.m.Aug. 31 in the Theater En-semble Arts Scene Shop, 818W. Arrington St. in Farm-ington.

There is a need for nineplayers and several theatertechies, according to the au-dition listing on Facebook.

California Suite premieredon April 23, 1976, at theAhmanson Theater in LosAngeles. It is composed offour playlets set in Suite203-04 of The Beverly HillsHotel. The suite consists ofa living room and an ad-joining bedroom with anensuite bath, and there arethree separate sets of visitorsto the suite – all with differentstories to tell.

The second productionof the 17th season will beSam Shepard’s Fool for Love.It opened on Feb. 8, 1983,at the Magic Theatre in SanFrancisco, Calif., and it fea-tures battling lovers – Mayand Eddie – at a MojaveDesert motel. It will be per-formed Jan. 17-19 and Jan.22-23 at the San Juan Col-lege Little Theatre.

The final production isMitch Albom’s And the Win-ner Is, which will be per-formed April 4-5 and April11-13 in the San Juan Col-lege Little Theatre. This playtells the story of a self-ob-sessed movie star, TylerJohnes, who is nominatedfor an Academy Award anddies the night before theaward show.

Johnes bargains with thegatekeeper to return him toEarth for the big night andhe brings his agent, hisbombshell girlfriend and hisformer wife along for theride.

Tickets for the season arebeing sold for $25 for adultsand $20 for students andseniors. The sales barely coverthe cost of producing a sea-son of live theater, accordingto Herring.

“We are a non-profit or-ganization, so we exist solelyon donations and seasonticket sales,” Herring said.The organization is puttingon a golf tournament onSept. 7 to try to raise somefunds, because there are someserious financial obligationsthe theater group is tryingto meet.

“Over the last few yearswe have produced stage pro-ductions on a shoestring.

We are completely volunteer,and it takes about $20,000a year to just continue toexist,” Herring said. In aneffort to raise these fundsbefore the upcoming theaterseason, TEA will host a golftourney that will begin witha shotgun start at 8 a.m.Sept. 7 at Hidden ValleyGolf Club, 29 County Road3025 in Aztec.

It is a four-person scram-ble, and the cost to participateis $60 per person or $240per Team and that includesgreen fees, the cart and lunch.

“We’re hoping to have agood fun time and do some-thing a little different forus,” Herring said, addingthat TEA is seeking sponsorsfor the tournament. “We arelooking for major sponsorsto help offset the cost of thetournament, and hole spon-sors, which are $100.”

This will help offset thecosts of the theater season,during which TEA has topurchase royalties for theplays – a cost of about $600per production, which runsbetween $1,200 and $1,800

per year. The organizationalso has to pay for insurancefor the scene shop and forthe cast and crew, whichruns around $5,500 a year.There are utilities that runanywhere from $250 to$300 a month, as well asthe costs to make costumesand build sets.

“The costs of buildingmaterials, such as wood andpaint, have increased dra-matically,” Herring said. “Thelast few years we have beenoperating on a bare bonesbudget. Basically, if we don'tstart getting more donations

- we're are not going to beable to continue to survive. ”

For information about theupcoming season, or to spon-

sor the golf tournament orpurchase season tickets, callthe TEA office at505.326.2839.

ext. 3. Menopause The Musical cele-

brates women who are on thebrink of, in the middle of, orhave survived menopause. WriterJeanie Linders created the showas a celebration of women whofind themselves at any stage ofmenopause.

“It is a very funny show but re-ally, underneath the surface, itgives women permission to laughat something that for many yearswas not spoken of. The womenare able to laugh about menopauseand they realize, often for the firsttime, they are not alone and theyare part of a sisterhood who hasbeen going through this rite ofpassage since the beginning oftime,” said Seth Greenleaf, directorof the musical.

The musical is set in a depart-ment store and the all-female castmakes fun of their hot flashes,forgetfulness, mood swings, wrin-

kles, night sweats, and chocolatebinges.

Greenleaf said the musical caneasily come to Farmington becausethe cast does not have to performin a large theater. “This gives usgreat flexibility and we are able togo and get it seen by more people.”

Lisa Hutchens, supervisor ofthe Farmington Civic Center, saidit is important for the public tosupport these musicals. “The morethe public supports these kinds oftheater events here, the more op-portunity for us to bring themin,” she explained. “When thecommunity supports it we can jus-

tify bringing it in.” GFour Productions is bringing

the musical to Farmington andon Sept. 12, Menopause The Mu-sical will perform at Popejoy Hallin Albuquerque.

Since Menopause The Musicalopened in 2001 in Orlando, Fla.,an estimated 11 million womenhave attended a performance.

The musical recently celebratedits 3,000th performance and wasnamed the longest running scriptedproduction in Las Vegas, Nev.

The Farmington Munic-ipal Schools welding fab-rication team was nation-ally recognized this sum-mer after receiving the sil-ver medal at the 2013 Na-tional SkillsUSA competi-tion in Kansas City, Mo.

From June 24 throughJune 28, FMS team mem-bers Jacob Mihelich, AaronMagnum, Brett Pash andFMS Welding InstructorEdward McHenry traveledto the national competitionwhere they completed atwo-hour written test anda six-hour 30-minute weld-ing project.

Mihelich, Magnum, andPash graduated from Farm-ington High School inMay.

“They did extremelywell considering the prob-lems they had,” saidMcHenry, referring to how

the Farmington team’swelding machine malfunc-tioned during the compe-tition.

“I didn’t think we wouldcome in second place. Itwas a shock when we did,”Pash said.

There were 32 highschool teams who com-peted in the welding fab-rication category at thisyear’s national SkillsUSA.

The welding fabricationproject built by the teamswas a movable cart withwheels.

This was Pash’s first yearwelding. “I’ve never weldedbefore. It was a big ac-complishment for me.”

Since the FMS team fin-ished in second place, eachof the team members re-ceived $1,000 worth ofwelding equipment.

The FMS welding fab-rication team has partici-pated in the national Skill-sUSA competition for four

years. In 2011, the teamfinished in first place, andin 2012 the team finishedin second place.

SkillsUSA is a nationalorganization serving teach-ers and high school andcollege students who arepreparing for careers intechnical, skilled and serv-ice occupations. SkillsUSAcompetitions are held atthe local, state and nationallevels. At the annual na-tional SkillsUSA Champi-onship, over 5,000 studentscompete in 96 occupationaland leadership skill areas.


With vegetable gardeningin full swing right now, itis as important to knowwhen to harvest your veg-etables is as it is to knowhow to grow them.

Each vegetable has a spe-cific window for harvesting.Some vegetables have anice long window for har-vesting; others can go fromtender and delicious totough and bitter overnight.The best way to determinewhen vegetables should beharvested is to understandthe characteristics of thevegetable itself.

Below is a list of veg-etables and the signs thatcan help you determinewhen to harvest:Cantaloupe:

There are three basic waysto tell when it is time toharvest muskmelon; stemremoves easily from the vine,surface netting of the skinturns beige, and blossomend is soft and smells sweet.Chile, Hot:

Harvest as needed. Young,green peppers are hotterthan mature, colored ones.Peppers:

Pick peppers at any stageof development. The longer

fruits stay on a plant, themore intense flavor be-comes. Sweet peppers growsweeter. Bell Peppers canbe picked at any time; col-ored varieties can be lefton the plant until theychange colors.Herbs:

It's best to pick herbsbefore they flower. Harvestherbs on a dry morning,after dew has dried. Theexception is mint, whichyou want to pick at midday,when essential oil concen-

trations in leaves are great-est. Avoid harvesting herbsfollowing a rain, when fo-liage is wet.Tomatoes:

Even though tomatoescontinue to ripen after pick-ing, fruits develop greatestflavor when allowed toripen on plants. Exceptionsare the small sweet 100and cherry tomatoes, whichare prone to splitting. Pickthese tasty little treats assoon as fruits start showingcolor.Squash:

Daily inspections ofsquash vines are a must.In August heat, small tastysquash can transform intoinedible enormous clubsovernight. Summer squashis best harvested whenyoung and tender. The skinshould be easily penetratedwith the thumbnail. Cucumber:

Cucumbers are bestwhen slightly immature,

just as the spines softenand before the seeds be-come half-size. This willvary with variety. Most va-rieties will be 1 ½” to 2½” in diameter, 5” to 8”long. Pickling cucumberswill be blocky and not aslong.Eggplant:

Harvest when fruits arenearly full-grown but coloris still bright and shiny.Eggplant is overripe whencolor dulls and seeds turnbrown.

Okra: Okra pods are ready to

harvest when they are 2”

to 3” long and snap easily.Over-mature pods becometough and woody.

It is very important toharvest both herbs and veg-etables regularly. In mostcases, the more you harvest,the more the plants produce.This is particularly true withherbs. Even if you are notusing them immediately,they should be harvestedand stored. If allowed togo to flower and seed, manyof these plants will be un-usable for the rest of thegrowing season.

The season begins inAugust and will gothrough September. “That’swhen the grapes arepicked, and the season de-pends on where you arelocated in the state,” saidDavid Arnold, Wines ofthe San Juan owner.

To start off Grape CrushSeason at the Blanco win-ery, David said more than17 tons of grapes weredelivered from vineyardsin Deming, N.M., on Aug.21. Many of the pressedgrapes are from southernvineyards. Wines of theSan Juan, however, has sixacres of grapes that alsoare used to produce thewines.

The winemaking seasonalso gives Wines of theSan Juan an opportunityto create new wines togive the customers a fresh,new taste. “We try to makea couple of new ones be-cause we have a wine cluband we want to send themdifferent things – we don’twant to reuse the same(wine),” David explained.

Recently, David an-nounced that his son,Joshua Arnold, will be thenew head winemaker.David has been the headwinemaker since he turnedover the reins to his son.

“(The wine) will be a betterquality because he is moreinto the details and has akeen palette,” David said.“He is more into reallyintense quality.”

Joshua has been a wine-maker at his parent’s win-ery since 2001. He becamea fulltime winemaker in2007. “I started workingunderneath my dad. Hewas the winemaker and Idid all the heavy lifting,”Joshua explained.

Learning techniquesfrom his dad has moldedhim into the winemakerhe is today, Joshua said,adding that he learnssomething new every yearabout the winemakingprocess.

“I want to carry on thelegacy of my dad and tryto accommodate every

kind of wine drinker –from the people who likesweet wines to dry wines.”

As a way to enhancethe wine quality, Joshuawill do more lees stirring,a technique that gives thewine a heavier body. Leesis the residue at the bottomof the wine vat.

“Mainly my goal is tomake wine for everyoneand to produce the bestwine I possibly can withNew Mexico fruits.”

Wines of the San Juanalso is preparing for its11th annual Harvest Wine

Festival to kick off thefall season.

The festival will be fromnoon to 7 p.m. on Satur-day, Sept. 28, and thenfrom noon to 6 p.m. onSunday, Sept. 29.

Tickets to attend thefestival are $10 for adultsand include a commemo-rative wine glass, and freefor anyone under the ageof 18 if they are accom-panied by a parent.

Nosey Nellie’s thinkingabout dabbling in real estate.NN watches a LOT of Homeand Garden Network showsand has decided real estateis where she could reallyshine and make a gazilliondollars. NN has a knack ofmaking people feel so com-fortable with her, they’ll doanything she asks if she signsan agreement stating she willnever, ever, ever again contactthem for any possible reason.NN thinks it’s lovely thatpeople appreciate and enjoyher so much that they wantto take that one memorablemoment and keep it withthem forever. And when NNsigns that little piece of paperthat has just been notarizedby 16 notary publics andwitnessed by 23.5 attorneys.– the half of an attorney isNN’s legal rep from Vegas,who only finished half ofhis law degree. He completedand totally aced his bar exam,but found out too late hewas at the wrong bar. What-ever – and the lovely peoplesnatch it from NN’s graspso they can take it to HobbyLobby and get it framed,NN’s heart just swells withpride. Or maybe NN’s heartswells on accounta she hadbeans and franks for lunchand she and her half an at-torney are still trying to findthe right bar so he can gethis bar account approvedand he can take on highprofile cases instead of thelow profile ones he only

gets now. NN’s half an at-torney would like to have afor reals legal office insteadof conducting “business” fromthe back of his 1963 VWbus, which he purchasedduring his hippie days andwhich still has psychedeliccurtains, which some peoplecall “odd,” but which myhalf an attorney calls “vin-tage.” Whatever.

So, NN went online andfound a “reputable” universitywhich will let you take classesonline, but then you mustparticipate in a live “classroomsetting” before you take yourexam and become a licensedand revered real estateagent/wonderwoman.

NN isn’t fond of onlineclasses, because she has anattention defiance disorder– which basically means NNpretty much does her ownthing and isn’t really inter-ested in what aninstructor/teacher/person ofauthority has to say on ac-counta she’s pretty muchgonna do things her ownway, even though all too of-ten, her own way is againstthe law. Whatever.

So NN found another on-line class from a maybe-not-so-reputable university whereshe can obtain her real estatelicense if the applicant has“more than 65 hours ofwatching Property Brothers,House Hunters and Love Itor List it on HGTV, under-stands the idea of a contractand knows people who maybe able to interpret said con-tract, and has the appropriatenumber of hooker heels tolook like a real estate won-derwoman.” NN applied,was accepted and sent inher $5,000 license fee, whichis good for nine months.(NN did question the ninemonths, but the lovely foreignlady she talked to throughan interpreter said that afternine months the fee dropsto $2,500 a month, whichmust be deposited in an un-derground bank account inan airport in Russia. At leastthat’s what NN thinks thenice foreign lady and theinterpreter said. NN is con-fident she can sell enoughreal estate to cover the$2,500 monthly fee to dobusiness.) NN’s pretty savvywhen it comes to makin’deals, just so’s ya know.

NN hopes to specializein “unique” properties, likeyachts, small islands, pent-house suites and ocean front

property, although she real-izes those may be a challengein New Mexico. Still, NNhas watched enough HouseHunters to know that if youlook hard enough, you’llfind the right property foryour client and they willhave three to pick from in30 minutes. NN’s gonnamake a gazillion dollars andbecome a real estate moguland will prob’ly be invitedto host her own show onHGTV, have her own fashionline for the professional realestate person, and hire herhalf an attorney to representher in case she says some-thing she shouldn’t or could-n’t or is against the law. Lifewill be good. Watch for hersigns – Get the Dirt (andthe house, garage and yard)From Nosey Nellie!

While NN was researchingher next career move, hersista from anotha mutha, DiMcClellan, had a birthday.Di is like one of those womenwho gets more beautifulevery year, which NN findssomewhat despicable, butit’s Di, so NN forgives her.Also celebrating BDs thisweek were the lovely DebbieGent and Jan Morgen, theequally lovely Randy Largeand the amazing and won-derful Randy Akins.

Jeff and Kristy Grahamcelebrated their 18th wed-ding anniversary and theawesome Judge John Deanwill celebrate a birthdayMonday, so NN thinks every-one should send Da Judge abirthday card – we can con-sider it an investment, incase we ever need a Get Outof Jail card. Not that DaJudge would give us one, oraccept one, or be happy ifwe tried to give him one,but a card shower for DaJudge would be lovely, don’tyou think?
