apprehensive. It blows mymind. It is totally incom-prehensible,” he said. “It isgratifying to know that thechoral program meant some-thing to people.”

Peed was with Farming-ton High School from 1976to 1991 and the choral stu-dents were his family. “I al-ways did it because I lovedyou guys,” he said.

Peed earned his masterof music in choral conduct-ing from the University ofKansas, he earned a masterof arts in educational lead-ership from St. Mary’s Uni-versity, Texas, and he earneda doctor of arts degree fromthe University of NorthernColorado, Greely.

Other than his time atFarmington high School,Peed worked as the directorof choral activities at TivyHigh School in Kerrville,Texas, and as the directorof fine arts at WesleyanSchool in Norcross, Ga. Helives in Suwanee, Ga.

The concert, which beginsat 3 p.m., Sunday, June 23,at the Farmington Civic Cen-ter, will consist of pieceswritten and arranged by

Peed, including his signatureChristmas composition SantyClaus is Flat Gonna Cometo Town.

“We’ll be doing some ofwhat we sung before in highschool,” Kollasch said.“They’re songs we performedin choir and that makes itreally special.”

The program includesspirituals, contemporaryworks and vintage populartunes. There also will be afinale where everyone is in-vited to sing along with theFHS Alma Mater.

When Peed realized theconcert was going to happen,he knew he had to comeup with music. “I tried tomake it where it was a groupdecision – tell me whatpieces you would like to

do,” he said.He asked choral members

to email him songs they re-membered performing. Hetook those songs and putthem on Survey Monkey, sopeople could vote on whatthey wanted to sing. Oncehe had a list of songs, hebegan developing a program.

“I’ve always wanted todo things that challengedpeople,” Peed said. “I pickeda program that is as well-rounded as I could with alot of spirituals and goodmusic. The music I picked –people would rememberfrom different years.”

There are 85 HolleringBand members who willtravel to Farmington for thereunion concert, and mostof them were contacted

through the Facebook Pagedeveloped by Kollasch. “It’sreally great that people want-ed to do this,” she said.

Participants will have awhirlwind weekend of choirrehearsals, meals, friendshipand of course the concert.“We are going to be re-hearsing in the FarmingtonHigh choir room,” Kollasch

added.The concert is open to

the public, and any formerHollering Band memberswho were not notified intime to perform are encour-aged to come out for theevent.

A $5 donation will beaccepted at the door and allproceeds from the concert

will be donated to the Farm-ington Municipal Schoolsmusic program. “We wantto use this concert to showhow important music is inthe schools,” Kollasch said.

A reception will followthe concert.

“We hope all of ourfriends in Farmington cometo see us,” Peed said.

procedures, and tools thatimpact safety,” said SchoolBoard President SandySchumacher, who also ison the district’s safety com-mittee.

Safe Havens Internationalis one of the largest schoolsafety firms in the world,Schumacher said, addingthe firm operates in 24countries.

“I was so excited aboutthis group and their cre-dentials,” Schumacher ex-plained. Safe Havens hasworked with the United

States Department ofHomeland Security and theFederal Emergency Man-agement Agency.

“The employees will ac-tually be visiting the sitesthemselves, they won’t havea contractor come out,” todo the safety assessments,she said.

The budgetary impactof hiring Safe Havens In-ternational is $39,000, ac-cording to Schumacher.

Campus Programs As-sistant SuperintendentFrank Stimac said the

school district has a greatworking relationship withthe local fire departments,police departments, and theSan Juan County Office ofEmergency Management,however the district wantedto receive a third party’sopinion on the district’ssafety and what needs tobe updated.

“We have done a lot ofsafety drills and proceduresin our schools and we seesome issues in all of ourschools,” because the build-ings are old, Stimac said.

“We have 14 schools builtin the 1960s, and whenmost of these schools werebuilt, safety and securitywasn’t an issue.”

When Safe Havens In-ternational evaluates theschool buildings, they willlook at “everything fromthe process of people com-ing in to visit” to how se-cure the school’s entrancesand exits are, Stimac said.“It will be pretty in depth.”

According to SafeHavens International’s proj-ect proposal, the firm also

will assess the school’s cam-era surveillance systems,communication systems andprocedures, school resourceofficer utilization andstaffing, as well as securityin the preparation of foodsand beverages. The firmalso will look at the dis-trict’s crisis response anddisaster mitigation plans.

“They will point out alot of things what we aredoing now and what wecan do in the future,”School Resource OfficerCoordinator Michele De-

Lese said. “We want to do every-

thing we can to make sureour (students and staff ) aresafe,” Stimac added.

Safe Havens Internationalhas worked with the FederalBureau of Investigation, theU.S. Department of Edu-cation, the Bureau of Al-cohol Tobacco andFirearms, and the U.S. At-torney General’s Office.

The dates for SafeHavens International visitto Farmington Schools havenot been scheduled.

The U.S. national securityestablishment was throwninto turmoil this week withthe revelation it was engagedin widespread “data mining”of Americans’ phone callsand Internet traffic to spotunusual patterns that mightindicate a terrorist attack.

The source of those sto-ries? Edward Snowden, a29-year-old high schooldropout turned computergenius, who witnessed theprograms at work in his jobas a contractor for the Na-tional Security Agency.

“I think it’s an act of trea-son,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein,D-Calif., said of Snowden’sacts. “He is a hero,” insistedJohn Cassidy, a writer forThe New Yorker.

Which is it? Joel Mathisand Ben Boychuk, the Red-BlueAmerica columnists, de-bate.

MATHIS: “I’m neithertraitor nor hero,” EdwardSnowden said this week.“I’m an American.”

If only that simplified thequestion. Americans are likeany other people – capableof both great heroism and

monstrous evil. And historyshows the same is true ofthe American government.

Which is why – givenwhat is known about Snow-den at this point – the in-clination is to place Snowdena little closer to the “hero”side of line, albeit tentativelyand cautiously.

The NSA’s programs, afterall, are not the first in whichthe American governmenthas spied on its own people.During the Vietnam Warand civil rights protests ofthe 1960s, the FBI and CIAkept a close watch on Amer-icans and political groupswhose only crime was todissent from mainstream po-litical thought. FBI directorJ. Edgar Hoover used hisknowledge to bully politi-cians and, alarmingly, to en-courage Martin Luther KingJr. to commit suicide.

The FBI’s program ofspying on American dis-senters, dubbed COINTEL-PRO, was exposed only be-cause activists burglarizedan FBI field office in Penn-sylvania and released theprogram’s files to the media.

That burglary was plainly acriminal act; it also just asplainly defended the Amer-ican people against the in-vasive overreach of theirgovernment.

Truth is, we don’t havean example of a massivespying program that bothkept Americans under watchand respected their individualrights to privacy and libertyover the long term. Historyshows powerful programs,while perhaps well-inten-tioned, inevitably succumbto abuse and corruption.

No one has disputedSnowden’s own account thathe acted to expose the gov-ernment “criminality” to itscitizens. “Last week, theAmerican government hap-pily operated in the shadowswith no respect for the con-sent of the governed,” Snow-den said, “but no longer.”

Yes, there’s a touch ofhubris in that statement. Hischoices of refuge – Chinaand Russia – also raise ques-tions. But it ultimately ap-pears Snowden betrayed theU.S. government, not theAmerican people. The twoaren’t always one and thesame.

BOYCHUK: Snowdenis no hero. When he talksabout the NSA’s “existentialthreats to democracy” fromthe comforts of a HongKong hotel room, withinearshot of spies for com-munist China, under theprotection of one of themost undemocratic regimeson earth, he’s either jokingor lying.

In any case, Snowden isa fool. But is he a traitor?Merely revealing the exis-tence of a program that col-lects vast amounts of data

from perhaps hundreds ofmillions of Americans by it-self isn’t treasonous. ManyAmericans were at least dimlyaware of the NSA’s snoopingwhen it first came to lightduring the Bush adminis-tration.

On the other hand, re-vealing the existence of U.S.efforts to hack Chinese net-works, while on Chinesesoil, might cross the linefrom mere whistle blowingto giving aid and comfortto America’s enemies.

But a better question thanwhether this Snowden char-acter is a traitor may bewhy the United States gov-ernment has become so pow-erful and yet so inept thatthe Edward Snowdens ofthe world have access to itsdeepest, darkest secrets? AsDemocrats and Republicansrushed to defend the NSA’ssnooping as essential to pro-tecting Americans from ter-rorism and Lord knows whatelse, Americans worry thatomnipotent government isbecoming ever more incom-petent and unaccountable.

With good reason. When

National Intelligence Direc-tor James Clapper appearedbefore the U.S. Senate inMarch, Oregon DemocratRon Wyden asked himwhether the NSA collects“any type of data at all onmillions or hundreds of mil-lions of Americans?” “No,sir,” Clapper replied, beforeadding, “Not wittingly.”

Not wittingly? Not ac-ceptable. If Snowden’s moreoutlandish claims are correct,then somebody at the NSAcould have read this sentencebefore I put the period onit. Yet nobody had a cluethis high school dropoutwith a high security clearancewould spill his guts to thepress from a hotel room inHong Kong. Treachery maybe the worst of all sins, butit might not be the worstsin in this case.

Reader warning: There’sgoing to be puns. How couldthere not be puns in a col-umn about Wildwood, N.J.,enacting a ban on saggypants that expose people’sbutts or underwear alongits boardwalk.

The law will take effectJuly 2, The Associated Pressreports, with a first offensepunishable by a $25 fine.Subsequent violations mightreap fines as high as $200and 40 hours of communityservice. Presumably youwould have to be reallycheeky to merit that sort ofpenalty.

“This is just adding a littlebit of decency to our town,”Mayor Ernest Troiano Jr.was quoted as saying. “It’samazing – and this is a pun– how far decency has fallenthrough the cracks.”

I myself take a stern viewof people parading aboutwith posterior décolletage.

Really, do we have to lookat that?

It is hard not to sympa-thize with a Jersey Shoreresort that is trying to main-tain standards when at anyminute Snooki and her palsmight arrive. I am surprisedthey didn’t pass an ordinancerequiring tuxedos to be wornon the boardwalk.

But any suggestion thatWildwood is trying to bethe fashion police wassquelched by city Commis-sioner Pete Byron, also quot-ed in the AP story despitenot making any puns.“There’s a line that getscrossed between being afashion statement and beingobnoxious,” he said. “Families

can feel threatened.”He is so right. Buttocks

are anathema to family life.If too much is made of but-tocks, a little kiddie canwake up screaming in thenight because he thinks amonster pair is hiding underthe bed.

As it is, the attempt byWildwood to become Mild-wood has led to cries ofracism, just as it has in otherplaces with similar bans.Civil libertarians say suchlaws are unconstitutional.That’s because the trendcalled “sagging,” which issaid to have originated inthe prison system, was madepopular by hip-hop artists.

(It is a relief to know

that I am finally trendy. Iam at the age when a lot ofpersonal sagging is goingon, although not yet mypants.)

I read in The New YorkPost that the rapper “TheGame” – who is apparentlyfamous, which explains whyI have never heard of him –has denounced the Wild-wood law as racist and prom-ised to pay the fines for thefirst five people ticketed.

This is very sporting ofThe Game but – call menaive – I am not sure thatracism is involved in thiscase. Maybe he could havea chat with The Situation,one of the dopier charactersin the “Jersey Shore” cast,concerning the situation.

Certainly racism is a lin-gering legacy in this country,but I don’t think the causeof equality is helped byblaming everything on race.I think we do better by as-

suming the best about peoplein the absence of clear evi-dence to the contrary – inWildwood’s case, that it’sjust well-meaning sillinessinspiring the law.

After all, sagging pantsare worn by all sorts of cal-low youths.

The last offender I sawwas a pale-skinned kid whohad his butt so far out ofhis pants that if had he tieda roller skate to it and benthis knees, he could haveslid on down the road as amercy to onlookers.

It may be progress thatthe knucklehead communityis so about equal opportunitythese days, empowering peo-ple of all ethnic varieties towear their baseball capsbackward and to havedroopy drawers dusting thesidewalk while aerating theirnether quarters.

It’s the plumbers I worryabout in Wildwood. What

if some honest tradesmanwere walking down theboardwalk to fix the pipesat an ice cream, trinkets,saucy postcards and T-shirtstore and found himself tick-eted for an offense againstgood taste? It wouldn’t seemright.

Surely plumbers are al-lowed to display the trade-mark sign of their professionwithout a law that allowsno ifs or butts.

So while the residents ofWildwood have my sympa-thy, I don’t think a law isneeded, especially one thatgoes into effect just beforethe Fourth of July, America’sgreat celebration of freedom.Fashions change, as doessociety’s definition of ob-scenity, dooming Wildwoodto fight a hopeless rear-guard action against the tushmenace.

months and we are excitedto have it done, but it willtake awhile,” said DanielSedillo, project manager atJaynes Corporation, thecompany building the shel-ter. “We are enjoying thisproject and thank you forthe opportunity.”

There are two entrancesinto the facility – an adop-tion entrance and a surrenderentrance. In the adoptionwing there are several play-rooms for visitors to interactwith the animals.

The facility will have theability to house 169 dogs,112 cats, and 5 exotics.

Within the canine adop-tion area, the floors aresloped allowing water torun into the trench drainsproviding for a more sanitaryarea, Farmington GeneralServices Director Julie Bairdsaid.

The intake garage, wherestray animals are droppedoff by animal control, willhave garage doors on eitherside of the room so animalsare safe and secure. “At theold facility, the animals weregetting away, and this is amuch better proceduralprocess to get them in safely,”Baird explained.

Other additions to thefacility include a multi-pur-pose education conferenceroom, treatment and exam-ination rooms, a feral catroom, and an isolation wardfor sick animals that needto be evaluated before being

brought into the generalboarding area.

Betty Berry with the PetProject said she thinks thecommunity will be proudof the facility once com-pleted. “I think we will beable to educate the publicto be responsible pet owners,and that is really what weare trying to do.”

The Pet Project has raisedmore than $500,000 topurchase furniture, cages,refrigerators and other of-

fice-type equipment.“Those of us who have

been at this for quite a fewyears – we have found outthat no one says animalsare more important thanpeople, but what we havefound out is how importantanimals are to people,” Berrysaid.

County CEO Kim Car-penter said the new shelterwill be a benefit for its staff.“It makes people’s jobs easierand it is more user friendly

for the people who comehere,” he explained. “I thinkit will benefit the peoplebecause of its regional lo-cale.”

Carpenter added thateven though the shelter willbenefit the community, it isnot the sole answer for find-ing a solution to the grow-ing problem of stray animalsin the area.

“What else do we needto do to control the animalpopulation? Will there have

to be a mandatory spay andneuter ordinance?” Carpen-ter asked. “The county needsa better working agreementwith the Navajo Nation, be-cause we are spending wellinto six figures for animalscoming off the reservation.”

The county also has ex-perienced expenditure in-creases at the Farmingtonshelter because of a varietyof circumstances includingthe construction of the newlarger shelter, which will

employ six additional full-time animal caregivers.

“This particular part ofthe county’s operation – wepartner with the city on –is the single largest infla-tionary project that we haveand the prices have gonethrough the roof for thisover the years,” Carpentersaid.

The new Farmington Re-gional Animal Shelter is ex-pected to be open to thepublic this September.

DEBRA MAYEUXTri-City Tribune

There is one place forthe city to dispose of eu-thanized animals, and thatplace is the county landfill.

The Farmington AnimalShelter puts down approx-imately 5,100 animals eachyear. Animal control picksup 350 deceased animalsfrom the side of the road.These animals must betransported to the landfilland disposed of, costingthe city $25,000 per yearin fees. Animal ShelterConsultant Marcy Eck-hardt has made a proposalto end this practice andfind unwanted and ill petsa more humane resting

place. The cost for the crema-

tory is estimated to be$50,000, and the cost tooperate the system wouldbe 4 to 6 cents per poundwhen dealing with weightsbetween 300 and 750pounds, according toMatthews Cremation.

Eckhardt sent an emailto Assistant City ManagerBob Campbell asking thecity to consider buildinga crematory to dispose ofdomestic animals whomeet their end at the shel-ter.

A crematory is not onlymore popular among thepublic, it is environmentallyfriendly, according to Eck-hardt.

“Across the United Statescommunities have steppedup to embrace domesticdogs and cats and havefought actively to stop thepractice of throwing thesebeings in the garbage oncethey are gone,” Eckhardtwrote.

“Disposing of animals’bodies in landfills is fraughtwith environmental issues,”she wrote in her proposal.“Not only can these bodiesleach toxic substances andbacteria into the groundand the ground water, theyare often picked at by birdsand other scavengers andcarried beyond the con-fines of the landfill.”

The city uses SodiumPhenobarbital to euthanize

animals and it has beenfound to kill animals thatfeed on the carcasses ofeuthanized pets.

As the city works tochange policies and pro-cedures to focus on animalwelfare at the shelter, Eck-hardt pointed out that itis hard on animal welfareemployees to have to“throw the animal in thegarbage after it has beenput to sleep.”

“Our actions speak loud-er than our words … wecannot expect employeesto value animals whenthey’re alive if we thentell them to throw thesame animals in thegarbage once they’vepassed away,” she conclud-

ed.Eckhardt proposed the

city purchase a MatthewsIEB 16 unit, which costs$49,597. It can accom-modate a 300 pound loadby breaking it into 75 to100 pounds per hour, ac-cording to informationfrom Matthews.

Farmington GeneralServices Director JulieBaird has continued to re-search the possibility ofthe crematory and statedin an email that the cityneeds to “determine thecommon utility needs ofthe various units and planfor an appropriate size andspace.”

No decisions have beenmade at this time.

Animal crematory

Discussion continues on equipment for new shelter

project up into a multi-phased plan. “I would liketo look at this request forproposals and look at theentirety of Foothills Drive,”Councilor Jason Sandel said.

Mayor Tommy Robertsagreed. “I would like to seeit done at one time insteadof in phases or increments,”he said. “It seems we shouldbe looking at the entirelength of Foothills that needswidening.”

Sandel, who has spear-headed this widening projectsince 2008, stated that itwas supposed to be studiedin 2012, and was not. “Iwould like to see this project

move forward and not waitfor another budget year. Itseems while we are research-ing 7,000 linear feet ofFoothills, why not look atthe entire project,” he said.

Smaka pointed out thatit has been a money issue,and doing the entirety ofFoothills Drive would bedouble the budgeted cost.

“If what we talked aboutwas widening of Foothills,why did we only look athalf of Foothills?” Sandelsaid.

This is “strictly” the de-sign phase, according toSmaka, who said “Rightnow there is not money …

to build the constructionout.”

Councilor Mary Fischerasked if there might be aproblem having two differ-ent engineers design por-tions of the roadway.

“If we waited and hadsomebody else design thesecond phase, is there aproblem if it is not consistentthroughout?” she asked.

“The road is consistent,”Smaka said. “It’s strictly thedesign of the roadway.”

Councilor Dan Darnellwanted to know if therewould be a problem havingthe engineer complete anentire roadway design.

“Maybe that would speedup the second half of thebuild up,” he said.

“I think this is a projectthat needs to get done. Thisproject is a priority,” Darnellsaid. “If we come up withan additional $300,000,you could do the designfor the entire road. Doesengineering have a problemwith doing the entire de-sign?”

“No I don’t,” Smaka said.“We just broke it into phasesbecause we don’t have themoney for construction.”

Roberts asked if the re-quest for proposals couldbe cancelled and then a

new bid process be openedto include the entire scopeof the project.

Smaka said that wouldbe fine.

“I appreciate the senti-ment of the Council in thatthis is a very important proj-ect,” Sandel said. “Consid-ering that it sat on the booksall last year and did notmove forward, I do not havethe confidence that a secondphase will move forward.Mobilizing a design teamis part of the cost of theproject. It seems it wouldbe more efficient to do itall at once.”

Sandel moved to table

the decision until staff couldfurther review the possibilityof designing the wideningproject in its entirety.

The Council also decidedto table a decision to awarda bid for veterinary servicesat the Farmington AnimalShelter to San Juan Veteri-nary Hospital.

Fischer said she wantedsome additional informationfrom the legal departmentconcerning the bid.

The council has 90 daysto approve or deny the vet-erinary services bid, and thecity’s legal department isset to report back to thecouncil in two weeks.

Juvenile probationteenagers found thecourage to rappel down a75-foot cliff in the Glade

Run Recreational Area inFarmington on June 19 aspart of the annual SummerAdventure Camp organizedby the Farmington PoliceDepartment’s school re-source officer division.

The camp is one of twotwo-week camps that hap-pen over the summer. This

camp session began onMonday, June 17, and willlast until Wednesday, June26. During that time,teenagers will learn howto canoe, hike and use acompass, mountain bikeand climb the rope courseat San Juan College, aswell as learn about teambuilding.

“The looks on their faceswhen they achieve some-thing and they challengethemselves to do some-thing , that is what thiscamp is all about. Theyare challenged by choiceand we teach them re-sponsibility, self-confidence– and they do things theynever thought they could,”said Michele DeLese,school resource officer co-ordinator, who has beeninvolved in the camp since2005. The summer campbegan 12 years ago.

The school resource of-ficers also work in con-junction with the juvenileprobation office and thejuvenile drug and gradecourt office, DeLese ex-plained.

Robbie Munn was a pastcamp participant, and thisyear he is mentoring theother teenagers. “I had alot of fun (last year) and Igot along with all of theofficers and it pretty muchmade my summer evenbetter. I thought it was apunishment, but it wasn’t,so I decided I wanted tocome back and have fun.”

Munn said rappellingdown a cliff for the firsttime can be scary but“every time after that itjust gets easier and easier.”

As the teenagers slowlyleaned back and took theirfirst steps down the cliff,a few had wary expres-

sions, but as their feet hitthe ground their expressionshifted into excitement.

So far, rappelling hasbeen Josh Buescher’s fa-vorite camp activity. “Iwanted to do somethingand stay out of troubleduring the summer,” heexplained, adding this isa good opportunity tolearn and experience newthings.

There are 27 teenagersparticipating in the camp’ssecond session.

Tibbetts Middle School’sResource Officer Lisa Mc-Gaha said the camp alsois a great opportunity forthe officers and teenagersto build relationships. “Thekids get to see us out ofuniform and that we arejust normal people too. Ithink this makes them seethat they can trust us.”

At the end of each ac-tivity, awards are given outto teenagers who have ex-emplified kindness, dili-gence, humility, and per-severance, DeLese said.

The final day of thecamp, everyone involvedwill enjoy a cookout atthe lake and fishing.

“We do this for them,”DeLese said pointing tothe teenagers. “It’s great.”

The summer heat is onand has come earlier thanusual, thus I want to re-mind us all about the riskof heat stroke.

The owner was frantic.Just an hour before, herCairn Terrier Snickers wasplaying in the yard. Nowhe was listless and havingtrouble breathing.

Rushing him to thenearest veterinary clinic,a concerned veterinarytechnician informed herthat Snickers’ temperaturewas over 106 degrees –he was suffering from heatstroke. Luckily for Snick-ers – and with the helpof a quick thinking ownerand veterinary technician– he recovered.

Every summer, hun-dreds of dogs find theirway to the family veteri-narian after spending justa few hours in the hotsun.

It ’s important to re-member dogs don’t sweatlike we do. Cooling them-

selves by panting, dogsuse the moisture evapo-rating off their tongue asa means to lower theirbody’s temperature. Any-thing overwhelming thisnatural cooling systemleads to heat stroke. Withmore families away fromhome during the day, ourdogs are often left out-doors where it may bedifficult to find shady,cool places and water todrink.

Normally, a dog’s tem-perature ranges from 100to 102.5 degrees. In casesof heat stroke, tempera-tures over 106 degreesare considered to be anemergency situation –temporaries over 110 de-grees can be fatal in amatter of minutes.

This level of hyperther-

mia (higher than normalbody temperature) can af-fect every major body sys-tem and it is imperativeyou get your pet to a vet-erinarian as soon as yousafely can.

Dogs who succumb toheat stroke often showthe following signs:• Vigorous panting• Inability to stand, orweakness while standing• Thick, ropy saliva, lit-erally foaming at themouth• Bright red mucous mem-branes, although somedogs may show pale oreven muddy gums.

Heat stroke can affectany dog, although dogswith short faces, such asBoston terriers, Pugs, andBulldogs may be at higherrisk due their inability to

effectively pant and coolthemselves.

Many people believethat their pet will be fineoutdoors. However, inad-equate shade and/or wa-ter can affect even themost seasoned outdoordog.

Interestingly, heatstroke in cats is very rare.Most animal experts be-lieve that cats are extreme-ly good at finding thecoolest spots to lie downand also to avoid the ex-cessive excitatory exer-tions that many dogs seemto thrive on.

If you find your dogvigorously panting on awarm summer day, imme-diately move the pet outof the environment andinto a cooler place. Get-ting the pet into a shadyarea with a fan runningon him can be very help-ful. Using cool, not cold,tap water on the extrem-ities and trunk can alsohelp to lower the body

temperature effectively, aswell as rubbing alcoholplaced on the skin of thestomach. Do not use iceor extremely cold water.

Although it seems log-ical, extreme cold willcause surface blood vesselsto contract, forming aninsulating area that trapsheat in the body, delayingthe cooling of the vitalorgans

Attempting to forceyour pet to drink is alsonot advisable. If you sus-pect your dog is sufferingfrom heat stroke, imme-diately load your pet care-fully into a car and go tothe veterinarian. Underno circumstances shouldyou leave your pet alonein the vehicle.

Without these life-sav-ing steps, many dogsmight lose their lives tothe “dog-days” of summer.But as Snickers will testify,quick thinking ownersand veterinarian profes-sionals can help get them

back on their feet in notime.

As I always recom-mend, preventable andproactive health care inregard to our pets willsave you money andheartache. A few commonsense steps to prevent heatstroke are as follows:• NEVER, never leave apet in a car in the sum-mer.• Always have water avail-able for drinking.• Make sure an ambitiousplayful puppy can’t overturn its water source.• Put out a baby playpool for cooling off orwater down an area undera tree or shrub.• Provide plenty of shadein your yard.• Don’t over run or overplay your dog on a hotday.• Exercise in the earlymornings or late evenings.

As always, call yourfamily veterinarian withyour concerns.

X Run Four CornersAztec hosts 5K this Saturday

LAUREN DUFFTri-City Tribune

Running through themud while tackling mili-tary-style obstacle courseshas been a growing in-ternational trend, and localresidents will participatein one of these events onSaturday, June 22.

Dye Hard Productionsis organizing The X RunFour Corners, which willbe at the Aztec MotocrossTrack. The first wave ofraces begins at 10 a.m.

“This is local circuitthat we hope will reachout to western states,” saidAshley Dye with DyeHard Productions, addingthat this is the first ob-stacle race to be held inthe region. It will be a5K run that includes ob-stacles consisting of tun-nels, mud pits, pools ofwater, a 300-foot slip ’n’slide, barricades, wallclimbs, hill climbs, and

cargo nets. “The military style ob-

stacles will be man-made,”said Robert Settles withNo Limit Companies, thebusiness that manages theAztec Motocross Track.The day-long event alsowill offer food and livemusic from regional bands.

Ten percent of the pro-ceeds collected at thisevent will be donated toWitten’s Warriors, a non-profit group that supportschildren with disabilitiesand illnesses. Steffan andMaygen Carey developedthe group after their sonWitten was diagnosedwith cerebral palsy. Wit-ten’s Warriors donatesmoney to the Carrie Tin-gley Hospital Foundationin Albuquerque throughvarious fundraising events.“It is a great cause and areally exciting event, too,”Settles said about the mudrun.

Settles said they re-

ceived in-kind donationsto help with the costs ofbuilding the track and theobstacles. “We rarely getcash donations,” he said.“What it is, is in-kindtrade for construction ma-terials or for labor.”

“There are 15 localcompanies who are spon-soring it” and who helpedbuild the track, Dye said.

Race participants wereencouraged to form teamsand also wear crazy cos-tumes. Awards will be giv-en out to all the partici-pants who finish the raceand also to more experi-enced athletes who wishto compete against otherteams.

Spectators and childrenwill be able to attend theconcert and festival areafor no charge.

Dye said she hopes thisrace will be an annualevent. “We are alreadyplanning for next June,”she said.

Kiva Bowl

Skateboarders competition atHartman Skate Park Saturday

LAUREN DUFFTri-City Tribune

Skateboarders with anylevel of expertise are in-vited to compete in theAztec Kiva Bowl on Sat-urday, June 22, at HartmanSkate Park in Aztec.

Harold Badoni, theevent’s coordinator. Heworks at a school in Den-ver and grew up in SanJuan County, and said hewanted to organize theskateboarding competitionbecause it is a passion ofhis. “This is a nonprofitevent for anti-bullying,zero drug tolerance, andhelping children focus onhealthy choices,” Badoniexplained. There will bea booth at the event pass-ing out information onthe anti-bullying move-ment and how childrencan make healthy choices.

Anyone who wishes toskateboard in the compe-tition must pay a $5 reg-istration fee at 9:30 a.m.the day of the event. Thecompetition will begin at10 a.m. and skateboardersof all ages are encouragedto compete, Badoni said.Depending on their skilllevels, the skateboarderswill compete in beginning,intermediate, or advancecategories. The publicmay come and watch theskateboarders for no

charge. “Many kids are not fo-

cused on regular sports,so this brings them outand lets them try some-thing different,” Badoniexplained. “It is still exer-cise and a lot of activityinvolved.”

Badoni said he is look-ing for volunteers as wellas vendors and sponsors.“The sponsors will con-tribute to the competitorsand bring gift cards forthem and give them some-thing to win,” as well asprovide snacks for the vol-unteers. Anyone who wish-es to volunteer, set up avendor booth, or sponsorthe event should callBadoni at 303.842.2818.

If the skateboard com-petition is successful thisyear, Badoni said he wouldlike to organize more com-petitions in the future.

When a baseball playeris at the plate waiting tohit a fastball over the fence,it doesn’t take a scientistto figure out a baseballwill travel farther than awet sponge when he hitsit. That’s an oversimplifi-cation, but it’s a simpledescription of what’s goingon with the DodgersTriple-A team in Albu-querque this year. The Iso-topes are using a humidorfor their baseballs.

For those not familiar,it’s a small room kept at aconstant 72 degrees and50 percent humidity. Theidea is to make the base-balls “moist” inside andthus softer. Trust me, mostpeople can’t tell the dif-

ference between baseballsthat were kept in a humidorand those that were not.Pitching in Albuquerquecreates its own set of issues.Players on the mound haveto deal with the altitudeof Albuquerque. Baseballswill typically travel furtherwhen hit at a higher ele-vation. Adding the humidorwas the decision of theIsotopes’ parent club, theLos Angeles Dodgers.

Per Major League Base-ball, balls must spend aminimum of two weeks ina humidor before they areused in a game. They arealso allowed to be takenout for only one hour be-fore their use.

Not everyone is sold on

the idea that balls kept ina humidor will make a dif-ference. Isotopes managerLorenzo Bundy questionsthe effects of the humi-dor.

“I’m not a guy to put alot of weight on it rightnow,” said Bundy. “The lastcouple of years we’ve hadsome good pitchers in DanaEveland and John Elywho’ve had some terrificyears (without humidorbaseballs). I’m not lookingfor excuses, I’m looking

for pitchers who get guysout.”

For the record, ColoradoSprings used a humidorlast season and the team’soverall ERA dropped bynearly a run.

“Hopefully it helps froma player development per-spective and levels the play-ing field,” said Isotopesgeneral manager JohnTraub. “I don’t think we’llknow the full effect untiltwo or three years downthe road.”

Tony, Tony, TonyNext week we will know

if Tony Snell’s decision toskip his senior season atUNM and enter the NBAdraft was a smart one. TheNBA draft is June 27. Snellis banking on the opinionsof those close to him whobelieve he will be a firstround pick. Only the top30 picks get guaranteedcontracts. Depending onwhich mock draft you be-lieve, Snell could go any-where from 19th to 30thto the 2nd round to noteven being drafted at all.

“In my heart, I felt likeit is good for me to leave,”Snell said on the day ofhis announcement to leaveUNM. “I think I’m good

enough to play at the nextlevel.”

Snell is 6’7” and canshoot the 3 well. His de-fensive skills have improvedsince he’s been at UNM,but he’s not known as a“score off the dribble” kindof player. Snell averagedover 12 points a game lastseason and was the Moun-tain West TournamentMVP, but he was nowhereto be found in UNM’sNCAA Tournament loss toHarvard.

We asked Snell aboutthe gamble of entering thedraft and not getting guar-anteed money or maybepassed on altogether. “I’mwilling to take that risk,”said Snell.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS

NBA FinalsBy the time you read

this the NBA Finals willbe over and there will bescenes of a tipped over carin either San Antonio orMiami, but as of this writ-ing there is anticipation of

a rare gem, a Game Seven.Game Six is what a fanhopes for every event. Thegame had drama, come-backs, clutch shots and badcalls, a true classic. Abouttime, after five double-digitgames.

It was hoped that GameSeven was just as dramatic,but history tells us other-wise. In the famousPhoenix-Boston Game Five,famous for the smart in-tentional technical foultimeout, which allowed theSuns to advance the ballto half court, and the in-credible tying fade awayfrom Garfield Heard, bothteams exhausted themselvesin a pivotal 2-2 seriesbreaker from which theSuns never emotionally re-covered, losing the series4-2.

Even in recent baseball

history we’ve seen teamsthat cannot recover from adevastating Game Six loss,and then fall easily in GameSeven. Just recently theTexas Rangers had theWorld Series all but cele-brated just a strike awayfrom a 4-2 win, the baseballequivalent of being aheadin basketball by five with30 seconds left, when theCardinals rallied to tie thegame and go on to win in11 innings. Texas then fellin Game Seven. The exactreverse happened to theCardinals in 1985 when ablown call gave the Royalsanother chance, eventually

winning Game Six androuting the Cardinals inGame Seven. Then ofcourse there was the 1986World Series where BillBuckner went from poten-tial Hall of Famer to theundeserved poster boy forthe choke.

The loss of a Game Six,especially when it seemsthe championship is athand, traditionally meansthe downfall in Game Sev-en. This most likely meansdisaster for the Spurs lastnight, but if any team andcoach can get ready, it’sthe Spurs. There hasn’t beena road win in a Game Seven

of the NBA Finals since1978 when the WashingtonBullets came back from a3-2 deficit with a blowoutwin at home in Game Sixand then went back to Seat-tle to take down the Sonicsin Game Seven. Of coursethat was back in the 2-2-1-1-1 game format, whichwill be back up for discus-sion. The 2-3-2 format,while travel friendly, is notreally fair or practical. Theteam without home courtadvantage is expected tosweep three games in arow at home to force theseries back to the homecourt, and with schedulingnow being based on TV(see the gap between Game1 and Game 2, even thoughthey never left Miami) thetravel issue should not bea factor.

Finally, a quick note to

Miami fans and sports fansin general. Stay for thewhole game. All performersdeserve the respect of beingappreciated clear to theend. After all, just becauseyou know Danny andSandy get together at theend of Grease – a quickplug for Sandstone’s pro-duction of Grease that runsnow through August –doesn’t mean you get upand leave just because theend is inevitable. I meanwould you leave Mass aftercommunion or a Bon Joviconcert right after Livingon a Prayer? Never mind,I’ve seen both. Hurry out,the parking lot is a messto get out of.

pickscoaching carousel gets infull rotation. Basketballhas recently been thebiggest victim of thechanging coaching world.Just since the end of schoolbeing out there have beencoaching changes with theAztec boys and girls,Farmington girls, PiedraVista girls and Bloomfieldgirls. Last year it was theboys with new coaches atPV, Farmington andBloomfield and newcoaches in both positionsin Shiprock.

Only the Panther girls’job has been from a retire-ment change over whereMike Christie has steppeddown and left the teachingprofession with his assistantJoe Reed taking over thehelm. This means that Kirt-land Central hosts the deansof San Juan County coaches.Kevin Holman, with onlythree years as head coachof the Lady Broncos (ad-mittedly over 15 years inthe county) will be the onlywomen’s coach with expe-

Up and coming pro-fessionals from all overthe country – and evenout of the country –along with area amateurs,tee it up for a gruelingtest of golf this weekend.San Juan Country Clubis a short course by to-day’s standards, but thecourse has a wonderfuldefense system in place.

With greens that aresmall, fast and sloped,putting becomes thehighest of priorities tohave a chance at postinga good score. In con-

junction with having ahot putter, players haveto be able to place theirapproach shots in thecorrect spot on thegreens to have anychance at making birdies– or even pars.

But probably the sin-gle factor that makes SanJuan Country Club sointimidating at such ashort length is how penalthe tee shot can be. Without of bounds lurkingon over 80 percent ofthe golf holes, there is,literally, no room for er-rant tee shots. Nothingkills momentum fasterthan hitting a ball out

of bounds, having to hitanother tee shot, andmaking a score of doublebogey or worse.

For the professionalsplaying this weekend,their ultimate success willreside in their mentalability to block out areasof the course where theydon’t want their golf ballto end up. Better playersshift their focus on quad-rants of fairways andgreens that they key on– concentrating solelyon where they want theirball to go.

This is a wonderfullesson, not only for theamateurs in the field of

the San Juan Open thisweekend, but also thecasual player. By focusingon your target and notallowing negativethoughts of “out ofbounds,” water hazardsor bunkers to enter intoyour train of thought,you will be telling yourbrain where you wantthe golf ball to go. Whenyou think only of wherenot to hit it, your brain– and alter-ego – tendto gravitate toward thatarea.

Positive thoughts, vi-sualization and trust inthe ability to execute theshot are why the profes-sionals that contend thisweekend will be shoot-ing scores well underpar.

As a friend of minetold me one year at theSan Juan Open, “I can’t

come back to this tour-nament anymore, Tom.”When I asked him why,he explained that themore he plays the course,the more he can’t getthe mental image of theout of bounds stakes outof his head. All of thisfrom the mouth of a pro-fessional who won theSan Juan Open the firsttime he came to play init.

I encourage everyonewho reads this article toattend this wonderfulevent this weekend. At-tendance is free, and thegreat golf shots you willsee will provide hoursof enjoyment. San JuanCountry Club does awonderful job hostingthe San Juan Open, andthe level of players at-tending will blow yourmind.

Nosey Nellie pretendedto be someone she wasn’t.

Not that that’s totally un-usual for NN. There havebeen occasions (or multiple,multiple occasions) whenNN hadda pretend to besomeone else for her ownsafety or for the safety ofothers. NN is pretty particularabout who she pretends tobe, though, just so’s ya know.NN isn’t gonna pretend tobe Kim Kardon’tshian orFauxdona, or Hillary Clinton,although NN has nothingagainst any of those publicfigures (Kim and Fauxdonapretty much flaunt their fig-ures publicly anyway andNN’s figure is more of afuller figured type thatdoesn’t look good in skimpyoutfits. Not that KK or F doeither, though, come to thinkabout it) and NN respectsHillary, but does think Mrs.Clinton could use some guid-ance in the hair, makeup,shoes, bags and wardrobedepartment. Whatever.

So, NN discovered a meet-ing going on that had re-freshments and adult bever-ages (’K, so NN trolls forthose meetings. It’s not al-ways easy finding a meeting

where food and adult bev-erages are offered, but NNis nothing if not determinedto find ’em, attend ’em andsend thank you notes to’em), so she wandered in,joined the nice people inthe refreshment line andordered an adult beverage,pointing to someone elsewho would be paying for it(NN is also careful to haveher adult beverages addedto the tab of someone whois nice and won’t questionthe equally nice servers whotake NN’s order. NN alsoasks the nice servers to adda 30 percent tip to her drinkorder. It’s the least she cando, on accounta those serverpeople work hard and thenice person who actuallypays for NN’s drink isn’tgoing to question the tip,on accounta they’re nice.NN loves nice people.)

While enjoying her adultbeverage, an attractive mancame over to NN and starteda conversation. He was lovelyand acted like he and NNwere long lost friends. Ittook NN a minute or two(OK, it took NN until afterthe attractive man orderedher another adult beverage)to figure out the AM thoughtNN was someone else. Withthat second AB in hand andthe attention of an attractiveman, NN decided to just gowith the flow and pretendto be whoever the AM

thought she was.That worked for about

10 minutes. Then the AMasked NN about “mutualfriends” and “meetings at-tended” and where those oldfriends were and how thosemeetings helped whatevercause the AM and the ’notherwoman were supporting.Then it got a little awkward.NN managed to bluff herway through the old friendspart (she lost touch withsome of them when she wason an extended vacation atthe Rock, an island “resort”in the San Francisco Bay)but the meeting/causethingey was a little tougher.NN, herownself, has beeninvolved in a lot of “causes,”but she’s pretty sure the AMand the ’nother woman didnot picket the Las VegasCity Hall on accounta citycouncil people were consid-ering taxing the tips NNand the rest of the Girls ofSin City received from clientsand fans. Whatever.

When the AM started ask-ing specific questions aboutcertain “mutual friends” and“shared causes,” NN decidedshe needed to bail beforethe AM figured out she wasnot who he thought/hopedshe was, and asked for her“contact information” so hecould reach her for other“shared causes.”

NN excused herself, say-ing she had to use the ladiesroom, and left the AM, therefreshments and the meet-ing. (NN did finish her AB– and the AB of the niceperson who was paying forNN’s – before she left theroom. NN also told thenice server person to addan extra 24 percent to thetab of the nice person,which the nice server washappy to do. NN is nothing

I was sitting at a baseballgame at noon and it wasin the mid 90s. It was HOT!The sun was poundingdown on the concrete andthe metal bleachers; youcould feel the heat reflectingoff of them. Everyone wastucked into every littleshady corner or under um-brellas. There are severalshade trees planted aroundthe complex, but they arejust not big enough toreally cool things down.As my wife, Myra, and Isat there, I could not helpbut think of the importanceshade trees play in creatinga comfortable, usable area.

Of all the things we putinto our landscapes, treesprovide the most bang forthe buck. Shade trees coolthe air around themthrough a couple of dif-ferent processes. First of allthe leaves of trees provideshade, which alone coolsthe environment belowthem. Trees also releasewater vapor from the leavesin a process called transpi-ration that also cools theenvironment around them.With these two processescombined, shade trees havethe ability to cool air tem-perature around them byas much as ten degrees ormore. Now that 95-degreeday has just become an85-degree day under somebig trees.

Growing trees through-out a landscape reduce bothsurface and air temperaturesconsiderably. Researchershave found that planting atree on the west side andone to the south side of ahome or business can con-siderably decrease energyuse. In the EPA’s studies,yearly cooling expenseswere reduced by 8 to 18

percent, and annual heatingcosts were lowered by 2 to8 percent.

For you parents orgrandparents, creating acool shaded area outdoorsfor children is extremelyimportant. A cool shadyspot outdoors will invitechildren to spend moretime outdoors during hotsummer days. The shadeprovided will protect chil-dren from sunburn. Treeswill provide a safer, moreenjoyable environment forchildren to play.

There are many differentvarieties of shade trees.When selecting a tree, it isimportant to find one thatfits the space and needs.Trees come in many shapes,colors and sizes. The fol-lowing list includes a fewof my personal favorites:

RED SUNSET MAPLE:Red Sunset Maple is an ex-cellent shade tree. Highlyrated and reliable, Red Sun-set Maple has become thestandard by which all otherred maples are compared.It’s a vibrant growing treewith a strong and balancedbranching pattern. Sleek,

glossy green summer foliagechanges to brilliant shadesof red and orange-red inthe fall. Red Sunset is rela-tively insect- and disease-resistant and grows verywell in our soils. This maplewill grow about 45 feettall and 35 feet wide.

AUTUMN PURPLEASH: Autumn Purple Ashhas many traits that makeit one of the best shadetrees. This tree grows fast,has a beautiful roundedshape and adapts well topoor soil conditions. Theash families all producegreat shade trees, but theAutumn Purple has a littlesomething extra. This ashtree leaf is made up ofseven oval-shaped leaflets,

each 2 to 4 inches long.The dark green leaves startto change color earlier thanmost other trees. The fallcolor starts as reddish-pur-ple and deepens into adarker red-purple color.This ash will grow to about50 feet and 40 feet tall.

RED OAK: Red Oak isan outstanding large py-ramidal tree that turns bril-liant orange, brown andred in the fall. This oak isan excellent shade tree forlarge lawns or parks becauseit sends roots deep intothe ground. I personallylove the look of that glossygreen-lobed oak leaf. Thisis a large, durable tree thatwill thrive in almost anysituation.

LISTINGS Nearly 1,000 years beforeChrist, the Greeks were avidusers of medicinal herbs.These age-old healing plantswere distributed by priestsat the temples of Aesculapius.Priests obtained their plantsfrom rhizotomoi, the diggersof plant roots who grew andgathered the ancient healingspecies. This continues todaywith the mountain folk ofthe Southeast, who still gatherAmerican ginsing, goldensealand other native medicinalplants.

As centuries passed, Eu-ropeans adopted many ofthese ancient Greek ideas aswell as their indigenous heal-ing arts. Goth, Saxon andCeltic beliefs blended duringthe Roman occupation, com-bining early pagan healingarts with classical herbal folk-lore. When the Empire turnedChristian, many of these ideasfolded into the physic gardensof the early monasteries,where monks acted muchlike the priests of Aesculapiusto help heal peasants.

One universal practice thatseems to be unchanged isgathering herbs at the sum-mer solstice (June 21). Perhapsdue to the Celtic sun worship,this longest day of the yearwas thought to imbue theplant material with the mostpowerful healing properties.For herbs used in magic po-tions, they must be gatheredat this time for the celestialchanges were thought a signfrom the gods of their magicalcharacteristics. One exampleis to gather certain ferns onthis date, if they are to be

used to make one invisible,or so it was thought.

From the spring equinox(March 21) to the summersolstice, days are growingslightly longer, and plantsare producing a great dealof vegetative growth.

After the solstice, the daysbegin to shorten and theherbs sense it immediately.That kicks off flowering,which forces growth energyaway from luxurious oil-richfoliage production. That'swhy harvesting herbs aroundthe solstice isn't just folklore,it's solid science. At this timeleaves will contain peak levelsof essential oils for maximumefficacy. With high oil con-tent, they smell and tastebetter when dried. If theplants are left too long, soar-ing summer temperaturescause oils to quickly evaporatein the heat, reducing theoverall potency.

It's not easy to cut yourherbs this early in the seasonwhen they look fabulous,but it's essential if you wantto dry and preserve them forstorage. Harvest in the morn-ing after the dew has evapo-rated, but before the sun hasrisen high into the sky. Donot let freshly cut herbs re-main outdoors where oilsare lost too quickly.

Then follow John Hill'scenturies-old advice: “Theyare tied up into small bunches,the less the better and hungupon lines drawn across theroom. Bunches are to be kepta half a foot asunder, wherethey are to hang till perfectlydry.”

Digital mammography is nowoffered at San Juan RegionalMedical Center’s Outpatient Di-agnostic Center, which increasesbreast cancer detection rates byapproximately 12 percent, ac-cording to Doctor Kristy Wolskewith Four Corners Radiology.

The digital technology wasintroduced to the public duringa June 19 reception, along withGE Healthcare’s SensorySuite,which provides a “less clinicaland more spa-like experience,”said Linda Yentes, radiology de-partment manager.

“Everyone knows getting amammogram is a little bit of anerve-racking experience,” shesaid. “We want to ease the anxietyby introducing the SensorySuite.”

The SensorySuite allows pa-tients to experience the sights,sounds, and smells of a garden,beach, or waterfall. A digital flat

screen displays the images onthe wall and a scented braceletthat correlates with the scene isgiven to the patient.

San Juan Regional MedicalCenter is the second hospital inthe nation to offer the Sensory-Suite experience, Yentes said. Thefirst hospital to receive the tech-nology is Memorial Sloan-Ket-tering Cancer Center in NewYork, N.Y.

The benefit of digital mam-mography is it can produce animage within 40 seconds, Yentessaid. “We don’t have to wait forfilm to develop anymore, whichused to be a three-minute process.So the technologist will be ableto determine if (a woman’s) imagesare good and then the radiologistwill read it that same day.”

Wolske said it is crucial forwomen to get an annual mam-

mogram, because 1 in 8 womenare diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Unfortunately, what mostwomen don’t know is as manyas 10 to 15 percent of breastcancers are not readily detectableby mammography,” Wolske said.“Mammography is a fantasticevolving and lifesaving technol-

ogy, but some cancers are justvery subtle. This is where repeat,routine annual mammograms re-ally make a difference. It allowsus to look for subtle changesthat might show early stages ofbreast cancer. The key to a cureis detecting breast cancer early.We want the opportunity to savelives.”

The new technology will, it ishoped, encourage women to gettheir annual exam, Yentes said.“I think (breast cancer) is some-thing women worry about a lotand if we can make their yearlyscreening more comfortable forthem then I think we have suc-ceeded. If it is a pleasant experi-ence than they are more likelyto come back.”

If interested in scheduling anappointment for a digital mam-mogram with SensorySuite call505.609.6228. The OutpatientDiagnostic Center is located inFarmington at 2300 E. 30th St.,Building C.

Tibbetts Middle School TeacherErin Gockel was awarded theBob Thompson Excellence in En-ergy Teacher Award, a nationalaward that was given to only twoteachers in the United States.

Gockel has had a passion forteaching energy and conservationto her students since her teachingcareer began 10 years ago. Sincethat time, she has brainstormedmany creative and unique teachingtechniques that educate studentson the effects of energy.

She became interested in teach-ing energy when she attendedFort Lewis College in Durangoand met the director of the Na-tional Energy Education Devel-opment project. “I couldn’t believehow fun (energy) was and howempowering it is,” she explained,adding that NEED also utilizes a

kids teaching kids approach. “Itis really student centered, andthat is how I think students shouldbe taught.”

Students in Gockel’s classroomexperience many innovative proj-ects and activities each year thathelp them learn about energyand conservation.

This year, students had an op-portunity to visit Apache Ele-mentary School in Farmington

and teach the students there aboutreusable energy. “We taught themabout wind energy and solar en-ergy and made solar cookers,which we made solar s’mores in,”Gockel said.

Students also traveled to SantaFe for Oil and Gas Day and metwith Gov. Susana Martinez totalk about energy issues that affectthe state.

Bob Thompson was an inspir-

ing energy teacher who taughtat various NEED workshops inthe country. The Bob ThompsonAward was established by NEEDafter he passed away.

“The Bob Thompson Awardis given each year to a teacherwho has proven and exemplifiedMr. Thompson’s wonder of scienceand energy,” Tibbetts PrincipalKaren Brown said. “She doeswonderful things with her studentsevery year.”

Gockel said she was “flattered”to receive the award. “I’ve neverwon an award like that before,”she said. “It was nice (Brown)nominated me and to be recog-nized for that.”

Along with learning aboutreusable energy, energy efficiency,and visiting power plants, Gockel’sstudents also have spoken to CityCouncilors about banning plasticbags inside the city limits.

Gockel said her students col-

lected data throughout the schoolyear about the influence of plasticbags on the environment. Theyeven went the extra mile andwrote a letter to President BarackObama asking him to ban plasticbags throughout the United States.

“One person can make a dif-ferece even with a small step,“Gockel said.

At the end of the school year,students sent a scrapbook toNEED compiled of photos andinformation on energy activitiesand projects they completed inorder to compete for the nationaltitle of Energy School of the Year.Gockel said Tibbetts MiddleSchool was voted runnerup.

On Wednesday, June 19, Gock-el and 11 of her students flew toWashington, D.C., to attend theNEED Youth Award ceremonyto receive the award. Gockel alsowill receive the Bob ThompsonAward during the ceremony.

“I really want to growthe membership for theChamber, and by doing thatit will in turn help the busi-

nesses who are members,”Doyle said about one of hergoals as the new director. “Iwant to educate businessowners as to what the cham-

ber does and encourage themto be a part of it because itis beneficial.” There are cur-rently more than 175Bloomfield Chamber ofCommerce members.

Doyle earned her mar-keting and communicationsdegree at New Mexico StateUniversity in Las Cruces.“This was the perfect op-portunity for me to use mydegree.”

Doyle began working asthe Chamber’s director onJune 5. She said it was “def-initely an experience” be-

ginning her job a week be-fore the popular San JuanRiver Balloon Rally inBloomfield June 14 throughJune 16.

“If that is any hint whatthe job will entail, it willdefinitely be something thatI will enjoy and be able togrow and learn new things,”Doyle said.

“We gave her one of thehardest tasks to do – stepinto an event that has alreadybeen planned and ask herto execute it, and she did aterrific job,” Bloomfield

Chamber of CommerceBoard of Directors PresidentJanet Mackey said aboutDoyle organizing the balloonrally.

The balloon rally wassuccessful, Doyle said, addingthe Chamber is trying tomake it an even larger eventnext year. “We want to havemore things to do on Sat-urday night so if the balloonsare grounded like they werethis year there will still bereasons for people to comeout and meet the pilots andlet the kids have a good

if not appreciative, just so’sya know.

NN was also trollingFace Book this week andgained 27.5 pounds justby looking at all the foodphotos. Lasagna in a crockpot, veggies breaded andbaked, desserts to die for– they all made NN’smouth water and poundsappear. But did any of that

added weight go awaywhen NN looked at thegazillion photos of peopleworking out, talking aboutworking out, or just finishedworking out? No. FB isn’tfor wienies, just so’s yaknow – unless you likeyour wienies covered withsauerkraut, chili or mustardand ketchup.

While looking throughFB posts, NN discoveredRoger Sheak (who is the

bomb) is a new grandpaagain; Matt Archuleta, sonof NN’s buddy and pal,Shawn Archuleta, passedhis test and is now a Cer-tified Nurse’s Assistant (rockon, Matt!); the FarmingtonChamber of CommerceRedcoats cut a red ribbonat Studio 116, the new artgallery in historic down-town Farmington that NN’sbuddy, Karen Ellsbury andher family opened recently;

Amy Riley is still hopingto find someone to renther beautiful home whenshe moves to California,where she will marry theman of her dreams andlive. NN isn’t quite surewhy the Amazing Amywon’t commute betweenFarmington and California,but is sure AR has goodreasons – prob’ly that at-tractive man she’s marry-ing!

Nellie People had birthdays thisweek, and was NN invitedto ANY of those parties?No. Whatever. NN wishesa happy b-day to LindaErwin, Pat Gross, NatalieHalphen, Mike Brown,Cindy VerHaar, Steve Hen-derson, Michelle Huskeyand Richard Mordecki. RobHunter also celebrated abirthday this week. Rockin’Rob and NN hosted a radiotalk show years ago, butRR has moved up to a big-ger audience in Phoenixand has yet to invite NNto join him on the airways.Whatever.

NN also wishes LauraHuish a speedy recovery,sends her thoughts andprayers to Gwen Clouthierand the family and gazillionfriends of Stan Poff, is gladCarmen Martinez is backto work after a much de-served vacation, knows Pey-ton Manning would loveNN if he knew her andwould give her free ticketsto every Bronco game in asuite that offers exotic food,exotic drinks and cabanaboys who deliver ’em, andis thankful the Perfect Childdrove up from Albuquerqueto hook up NN’s swampcooler. NN appreciates thecool air, but is even happierthat Oliver, the Cat WhoWon’t Stop Talking, andMojito, the Devil Kittenno longer spit and hiss atNN on accounta it’s so hotin the casita. The kittieshave ways of showing theirdispleasure with NN whenthings don’t go their way– their favorites are to leavehuge globs of hair on NN’spillow and on every darkpiece of clothing NN owns,and they post nasty, hatefulthings about NN on TheLitterbox, a website theDK discovered while look-ing for kitty-rated movies,that totally disses the peoplewho cats own. Whatever.

Jim Hart was the honoreeat a retirement party (he

worked very hard and lateat Animas Credit Unionfor most of his life, NNthinks) at the San JuanCountry Club this week.NN knows that on accoun-ta she was passing by theSJCC and hadda use theladies room, which is nearthe room where Jim washonor-eed, and she liftedone of the adult beveragesthat was going to someonein that party. NN was thirstyand there’s nothing like anice glass of wine to quenchthe thirst, especially if it’sa glass of wine someoneelse is gonna pay for. Justsayin’. . . .

Partying with Jim andhis lovely wife, Ann, werePam Brawley, TriciaThomas (NN worked withTricia’s late husband, Jim,a gazillion years ago andloves sweet Tricia), WaltTaylor, Tom Lowry, CathyHallock, Shauna Standifer,ACU CEO Gary Stertonand his lovely wife, Chris,and his equally lovelymother, Janis; Lori Man-chester, Barb Schaffer, Ce-cilia Talbee, Peggy Jones(whose son is getting mar-ried this weekend in Den-ver), Jerry Huskey and TeriWollery, who are just thenicest, most wonderful andmost fun people ever.

NN also visited withBarry Digman, Tom Hud-son, Bernadette Smith(NN’s best BFF ever), KenHare, Dr. Jim Henderson,Randy Pacheco, Gayle andJohn Dean, Mike Way-bourn and Julie and JoeRasor, and had lunch atMy Big Fat Greek Restau-rant (great food and greatservice) and got a to-diefor chicken salad sandwichfrom Great Harvest. NNloves food, especially reallygood food, although shehas been known to eat badfood on occasion, but thebad food usually comesfrom NN’s own kitchen.Just sayin’. . . .
