Same-sex marriages proceed

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

In a sunlit room at the Bernalillo County Clerk’s Office, Patricia Catlett held Karen Schmiege’s hands early Tuesday morning. Poised to put a ring on Karen’s finger, she repeated the minister’s words.

“I now wed thee,” announced Catlett, and followed with an exhilarated screech. “Can I kiss the bride now?”

The attending audience laughed.

The minister said it wasn’t time yet, but later that day Catlett’s wish came true.

Catlett, 61, and Schmiege, 69, were the first same-sex couple in Bernalillo County to get a marriage license. According to the County Clerk’s Office, 135 other same-sex couples followed the women’s lead that day.

Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court ruled in favor of samesex marriage Monday afternoon.

The decision, issued by county court judge Alan Malott, makes Bernalillo the third county in the state to allow same-sex marriage.

Catlett said Schmiege and she have been together for 25 years. When they met, she said, Schmiege was volunteering for a lesbian organization called Lavender Heights in New York City. On the other hand, Catlett said she had been “just another citizen, a workaholic” in Manhattan.

With two complete strangers serving as witnesses, cameras rolled while the two pronounced their vows.

Rising Sun Ministries Executive Director Vangie Chavez said it was her pleasure to officiate the wedding ceremony of Catlett and Schmiege.

She also said she was excited to do a “repeat performance” throughout the day.

“I love officiating weddings,” Chavez said. “It’s to bring two people together who have shared a love and a commitment.”

The Bernalillo ruling came after Doña Ana County became the first

UNM psychology student Chanda Shaw, who came with her partner Jessica Dunn to the Bernalillo County Clerk Office Tuesday to obtain a marriage license, said the victorious ruling can be attributed in part to activist efforts in the state.

“The efforts were phenomenal,” she said. “Not everything is seen about the hard efforts that would get laws changed in the past. It’s amazing that today is happening because of them.”

Shaw said she has been with Dunn for seven years now. Although the two held a “commitment ceremony” in 2011, they said they were still “excited” about having something tangible in their hands.

Shaw said they filed papers for their license on Monday, and the couple arrived in the County Clerk’s Office at 7:30 a.m. the following day.

Dunn said she was “bummed” that they were not the first couple to get a license, but that was just a joke.

The hall just outside the Bernalillo County Clerk’s marriage license office yesterday was filled with more than 100 couples waiting excitedly for the doors to open at 8 a.m.

Patricia Catlett, 61, and Karen Schmiege, 69, had been waiting in the low-lit hallway since 7 a.m. Their patience paid off: the two were the first to receive their marriage license as they smiled and waived a small pride flag. By 9 a.m., Catlett and Schmiege were officially married.

“This is incredible. We’re married,” said Catlett.

Catlett and Schmiege met 24 years ago at a church in Manhattan.

Schmiege said she knew the moment she saw Catlett that they would spend the rest of their lives together.

“I opened the door and she was standing there with this ray of light on her,” said Schmiege. “Our eyes met and I knew for the rest of my life, that was the person.”

Schmiege said she self-identifies as a lesbian, but Catlett said she doesn’t like the labels.

“You know, I’m just a person,” Catlett said. “I prefer to be just a couple.”

Anthony Montaño and Jose Garcia may not have been first in line, but they were the first male couple to receive a marriage license in Bernalillo County.

With their three best friends present, the couple married in a judge’s chambers just after receiving the license.

“I’m excited,” said Montaño.

“It’s a historical day for everyone in New Mexico.”

The two met five years ago at the Chili’s restaurant where they work.

“I walked up to him a couple weeks after I started working there and I told him he was going to be my husband one day, and he kind of ignored me and walked away,” Montaño said. “Two weeks later he never left my house.”

Garcia said he is still processing the event.

“I’m still in shock,” he said. “I’m not sure if it really happened.”

Montaño said the newlyweds are planning to hold a larger ceremony with all of their friends and family, but they wanted to make sure they filed the paperwork today, just in case the court’s decision on same-sex marriage was challenged in the future.

“Angry people might decide to take it away,” he said.

Catlett said Schmiege made her promise on television that she would take her to Costa Rica for their honeymoon. Garcia said he and Montaño are planning one, but they don’t yet know when or where to.

Public urination leads to man’s arrest

On Aug. 21, a police officer was dispatched to the bus stop at the north end of the Duck Pond regarding a man who was urinating in public. Upon arrival, the officer observed the man as described by the dispatch and approached him. The man “was emanating a smell that was consistent with the smell of alcoholic beverages,” according to the report. After further investigation, the officer identified the man as having two outstanding arrest warrants. UNMPD arrested the man and he was transported to the APD Prisoner Transport Center.

Hate letter left on car in A Lot parking area Eds. Note: the spelling of ‘SanN*gger’ appears as written in the police report.

On Aug. 22, a UNMPD officer was dispatched to the Student Residence Center regarding a “hate crime.” According to the police report, the victim, who parked his car in a handicapped parking space in the A Lot, received a handwritten note from someone stating he needs to “quit using his ‘grandmother’s’ parking pass.” According to the report, the writer of the note also “hinted that his tires might keep their air if he complied.”

According to the report, the victim allegedly was involved in another “hate crime” in April when somebody had written the word “San-N*gger” on the door to his dorm room. The officer advised him to leave subsequent notes untouched so police could obtain evidence. The case is closed pending further leads.

Teacher victim of sexual harassment

A new program led by UNMH and a local company is helping doctors save lives from afar.

Howard Yonas, a professor and chairperson of neurosurgery at UNM’s School of Medicine, said the hospital has teamed up with Albuquerque-based Net Medical Xpress to create a telemedicine program that would allow neurological specialists to remotely assess patients in rural hospitals around the state.

The telemedicine program uses the software package XRExpress, which uses webcams for communication online. From their computers, qualified doctors and specialists can sign into the software and view CT scans and examine patients.

But the technology used for the program differs from simpler webcam programs, Net Medical CEO Richard Govatski said.

“When you do telemedicine, you have to have the right technical expertise in order for all of the components to come into place,” he said. “You can’t just … go to Best Buy and buy a camera and set up a Skype account and say, ‘I’m going to make it work.’”

For example, Govatski said strict government regulations regarding doctor-patient confidentiality require them to use the right technological approach.

“You could use a Skype camera like you use at home,” he

On Aug. 22, a UNMPD officer was on foot patrol at the Duck Pond when he “reached the southern portion of the park and observed … persons engaging in sexual intercourse,” according to a police report. Concerned, the officer approached the couple and asked the woman whether the man forced to have sex with her. The woman responded that the man was her boyfriend and that they were “in love.”

When the officer checked their names in the crime index, he discovered that both had outstanding arrest warrants, the report states. UNMPD officers arrested the couple on those warrants, and the officer tagged the woman’s backpack into safekeeping.

the outcome.”

For example, a doctor attending to a patient who might have had a stroke would have to decide whether to administer a tissue plasminogen activator, a drug that breaks down blood clots, Yonas said. But after about three hours, the chances of effective treatment with tPA drop drastically.

Yonas said doctors consider many variables before deciding whether to give tPA to a patient.

He said tPA can cause hemorrhages if not used correctly.

“You’ve got to make the right call with the right patient,” he said. “You have to worry about all their drugs, their blood pressure and some other variables … tPA could hurt somebody if you give it to the wrong person.”

However, stroke specialists in the state are in short supply, and many rural doctors do not feel comfortable deciding whether to administer tPA, he said. So patients often have to be airlifted to UNM Hospital for examination, which costs them time and money.

The new telemedicine program would allow doctors to, essentially, be present in emergency room with patients, Yonas said.

Govatski said the telemedicine program is a major advancement in medical technology.

“It’s 21st-century medicine like you’ve never ever seen before,” he said.

said. “But what happens with the security?”

Govatski said Net Medical provides the security people need to perform consultations over the Internet. He said the firm has a “whole infrastructure” to protect patient information.

Govatski said the telemedicine program provides information doctors can use to diagnose patients from miles away.

“The patient is located 300 miles away. How do we get Dr. Yonas to be able to see that information?” he said. “That’s part of the technology.”

Govatski said UNMH doctors can also add notes on the patient’s condition and give recommendations about what the host hospital should do with the patient.

It took years to get to this point, Govatski said.

“We’ve been working with Dr. Yonas since 2005,” he said. “It was a long process because technology wasn’t available. Still, technology is not available in some instances.”

Yonas said the program is beneficial for the state because New Mexico’s large geographic size prevents some people from getting the immediate medical attention they need. He said clinical problems need to be handled very quickly.

“The first few hours are critical to getting a good outcome with few complications,” Yonas said. “The longer the time it takes to make that decision, the worse

On Aug. 23, a male professor reported an incident of sexual harassment to UNMPD. The professor, who teaches English classes twice a week to more than 20 students, allegedly received emails of “explicit sexual acts” repeatedly. The email’s sender allegedly told him in the email that he “was ‘really going to enjoy this class,’ which caused him to believe it came from one of his students.” According to the report, the second email addressed the professor using his middle name.

The victim is allegedly “having a hard time with work as he feels uncomfortable going to class.” The case is closed pending further leads.

In the Daily Lobo’s August 26 issue, in the front-page article titled “GPSA chief wants better involvement,” GPSA President Priscila Poliana was quoted as saying GPSA and ASUNM “will be demanding the UNM administration to review the graduation model.”

The quote should have read “graduate tuition model” instead.

Market focuses on flavor

Victoria Lobato / Daily Lobo Kitchen manager Jeffrey Allen customizes a specialty dish at Street Food Market on Sunday.

Street Food Market opened across from UNM and features bold menus that allow customers to assemble noodle, rice, or even curry bowls.

New shop reinvents itself using same principles

by Chloe Henson

news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 “Bold Southeast Asian cuisine” awaits students in the Brick Light District across the street from UNM. Earlier this month Street Food Market, a new version of Street Food Asia, opened at the intersection of Central Avenue and Harvard Drive across from UNM. Tai Tok, owner of both Street Food Asia and Street Food Market, said his new restaurant’s menu focuses more on specific types of Asian cuisine. “(In) the other place, we feature six different menus,” he said.

“Here … we’re just going to try more of a really bold flavor. That’s (Vietnamese), Thai, and Malay.”

Beyond Asian food, Tok said Street Food Market will offer exotic drinks, including Thai tea and juices from South America. He said the restaurant will also offer different types of shaved ice.

“American shaved ice is the most boring shaved ice,” he said.

“Ours is with condensed milk. We have coconut milk, we have boba, we have fruit — all kinds of different fruit and all different stuff.”

Tok said that at the moment the restaurant remains in the process of opening. He said it is using a temporary menu now which is set to be updated, and that later there will also be musical performances at the restaurant.

“Eventually we are going to have entertainment people — street performers,” he said.

Tok said growing up in Asia gave him inspiration for the restaurant. “I grew up in Malaysia,” he said. “And I’ve always wanted to do … street food.”

Tok said he opened the new location on Central for students.

The restaurant will offer special deals and menu options for them, he said.

“We help the company do some loyalty program, or we do some special discount for

students,” he said. “And then we will do, probably on the daily lunch time, a specialty fried rice and a specialty noodle.”

Jeffrey Allen, kitchen manager at Street Food Market, said Tok’s restaurants are similar in that both locations stick with street food. Allen did not work at the previous location, but he said the new site intends to focus more on specific cuisines.

“We’ve chosen different places other than what Street Food Asia has,” he said. “We wanted to highlight some of the places from Asia and the street food from those places.”

Street Food Market’s staff is mostly new, Allen said. He said Tok and two wok cooks came from the Street Food Asia to found the new location, and Tok hired him because of his culinary background.

“Tok … hired me partly because of my fine dining background from L.A., and because I like good food,” he said. “That’s what we’re trying to serve here: good food.”

Allen said the restaurant offers fresh food at a low price.

“We make everything inhouse,” he said. “We’re not opening it from a bag and pouring it into the wok.”

At Street Food Market, customers have the choice of putting together a noodle bowl, a rice bowl or a curry bowl.

Patrons can also customize their own bowls. They can choose from white or brown rice, three different sauces, spicy or nonspicy vegetables and an array of entrees including fried tofu, lemongrass chicken, “crying tiger” beef (so named because it’s hot enough to make a tiger cry, according to Tok), coconut chicken and chicken meatballs. Everything comes topped with a choice of relish.

“This is one of a kind in the country,” Tok said. “There’s no restaurant out there in the country that can do what we do.”

Nudity is natural and can save electricity Editor, I love living naked at home and nearly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough.

My naked, lean, healthy, well-tanned body is my favorite suit. Living naked connects me to the earth. Most humans are the only animals who feel ashamed of their naked bodies and feel compelled to cover their genitals.

Why be more ashamed of our genitals than our noses? Why be more ashamed of our ass cheeks than our face cheeks?

I am a humble agnostic aiming to live truth as best I see it. But I ask those who believe God created our bodies — how can any inch of our bodies be indecent or obscene? Most religious people suffer from body shame and clothes addiction. Most religious people act as if God created the head, arms and legs, but the devil slapped on the genitals and possibly even the torso and the legs.

For thousands of years, many native peoples worldwide had the good sense to take off most or all clothes when warm enough, and to put clothes on when cold.

Most U.S. jobs require covering most of the body in the summer — business suits, uniforms, etc. Most U.S. jobs enforce rigid conformity and reject body freedom, natural comfort and environmental sanity.

Consider the horrendous consequences of wearing clothes not needed in warm weather: massive electricity squandered on indoor cooling and more poisoned air from power plants, the vast farmland and toxic pesticides used to grow more cotton, the petrochemicals for synthetic fabrics, grueling sweatshop labor, tons of deodorant, billions of dollars wasted, etc.

The U.S. uses more electricity for air cooling than India uses for all purposes. India has more than one billion people­ — more than three times the U.S. population.

I would never want to spend summers imprisoned in sweaty clothes covering most of my skin. I strongly support equal rights for a woman to be top-free in public as I am — if she wants to be.

When my mother and my father were alive, I was often naked as an adult in their presence. For many years I posed naked for hundreds of artists at UNM, Illinois colleges and art groups in Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Living naked keeps me devoted every day to eating only raw plant foods and to exercising vigorously. Fancy clothes often hide body abuse, neglect and fat.

Living naked helps me to be honest and open about who I am — baring both body and soul.

Living naked helps me to live simply — free from material crap I do not need.

Sadly, many USA-ans are more at home with their cars, computers, cell phones, mansions, luxury toys and nuclear bombs than they are with their naked bodies and affectionate sex.

Living naked helps me feel whole — both sexually and spiritually, confident and humble.

I use no swamp cooler and no air conditioner in my home. Sometimes I use a small fan. I open my door and windows — especially at night.

I enjoy living as naked as the law and weather allow.

Column

‘Elysium’ a dystopian juxtaposition

by Jason Darensburg opinion@dailylobo.com

The narrative of a brutal, dystopian future is a persistent theme in science-fiction cinema.

Mankind, for the most part, is portrayed as being utterly powerless to avert the inevitable post-apocalyptic nightmare that awaits us. The best SF films act as a metaphorical mirror of contemporary society, exposing and amplifying our darkest fears about modern culture, while at the same time keeping us entertained.

South African director Neill Blomkamp’s latest big-budget action thriller, “Elysium,” is one of those films. It explores critical sociological and political themes such as immigration, the environment, healthcare, overpopulation and massive inequality.

“Elysium” is only Blomkamp’s second major feature film. His directorial debut, 2009’s breakthrough “District 9,” was made for a paltry $30 million, but it went on to gross $211 million worldwide. “District 9” was critically acclaimed, and it earned four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.

“Elysium” is a bigger, higher-profile production starring Matt Damon and Jody Foster, and while it is a more conventional film than “District 9,” it is still a very astute example of what makes SF such a powerful and effective movie genre — at least, when it’s done right.

Blomkamp arbitrarily chose the year 2154 as the setting for “Elysium,” but the tragic near-future he depicts is practically inevitable within the next hundred years, based on the current state of the world.

In the film, the elite 1 percent of society has abandoned Earth to live out their days in

extreme luxury on a gigantic orbiting space station called — you guessed it — Elysium, while the rest of humanity is left to fend for itself in the toxic environment back on the surface. The lucky inhabitants on this colossal space paradise attend endless parties, speak French, wear designer suits, fly around in Bugatti spaceships and follow all of their utopian dreams — in perfect health.

Those still stuck on Earth suffer the ravages of an unsafe, polluted and overpopulated planet.

The moneyed classes who buy their way onto Elysium have access to all sorts of technological marvels that the poor suckers back on Earth can only dream about. One of these scientific wonders is the med-pod, which resembles a super-deluxe MRI: You simply lie down in it, punch your access code into the keypad, and with a couple of passes of the device you are healed of every possible ailment — from cuts and bruises to terminal cancer.

Elysium is plagued by increasingly desperate illegal immigrants from Earth trying to escape their wretched surroundings for a better life. They are routinely rounded up or simply blown out of the stratosphere with little regard for the loss of human life.

The irony is too blatant to ignore.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Damon’s character gets blasted with a lethal dose of radiation while working at a factory producing robotic surveillance drones for Armadyne, the company that handles security on Elysium. He’s given just five days to live by the staff of medical robots at the factory. The only way he can save himself is to get to one of the med-pods on the exclusive space colony.

Max lives in Los Angeles: a city that

has been reduced to a sprawling, open air barrio by 2154. In another case of depressing irony, the scenes of future Earth were shot on location inside an actual slum in Mexico City. The crew spent two weeks filming at one of the biggest garbage dumps in the world. Blomkamp’s vision in this regard is highly prophetic. Our planet is doomed to become a gigantic trash heap if we don’t take immediate action to save it.

The scenes depicting life on Elysium were shot in idyllic Vancouver, B.C., which also happens to be the filmmaker’s adopted home. Blomkamp admits he’s not very optimistic about the future of mankind. He is convinced that Earth could someday look a lot like his dystopian portrayal in “Elysium.”

He recently told Wired: “The dice are going to be rolled, and either we’re going to end up coming out of this through technological innovation or we’re going to go down the road of a Malthusian catastrophe.”

Blomkamp is referring to the famous essay

by Thomas Malthus, “The Principle of Population,” in which the 18th Century scholar mused about humanity’s enforced return to subsistence-level living conditions once agricultural production becomes outpaced by population growth. That road leads to extinction or, at the very least, to anarchy.

Still, Blomkamp insists that there is no “message” behind his movies. “Anybody who thinks they can change the world by making films is sorely mistaken,” he said. “Elysium” was created to appeal to the widest possible audience. Even though about halfway through it degenerates into just another violent, explosion-filled action thriller, the concept behind the film is pure genius.

Except for Jodie Foster. WTF?

Holy comic art, Batman!

by Roxanne Youngblood culture@dailylobo.com @roxxykittyx

Superheroes have left the Hall of Justice and have found a new home on the walls of Albuquerque’s Metropolis Comic Art Gallery.

Husband-and-wife team Michael Borin and Jody Masters opened the gallery, located in Old Town on the corner of Mountain Road and 11th Street.

They said their goal is to feature comic book art and to create a community for local artists to learn new skills, practice and thrive. ”We both have a love of art and comic art and we like things that are a little out-of-the-box, so it was fun trying something no one else was doing,” Masters said.

Borin began by collecting comics. He would slab the comic, which involved sealing it in plastic and determining the value. When his father-in-law asked him why he kept comics he couldn’t read, Borin’s focus shifted from comics to comic art, he said.

“We had a long conversation and I realized for me I didn’t enjoy the comic interior so much as

’T YOU WHY HAVEN

I enjoyed the art of comic books, the exterior,” he said.

The gallery features a new show every month. The previous show, Artist Alley, is displayed in the two back rooms, and the new show is in the front room. The theme until Sept. 5 is Gotham City, with the new theme, Japan Invasion, starting Sept 6.

Art in the gallery spans the mediums of watercolor, ink, metal sculptures, clay sculptures and 3-D art made from comic books.

Many artists from the East Coast and other countries are featured. Borin said the local interest in submitting to the gallery is increasing.

“The amount of people submitting to get their art in here is increasing as more and more people are getting to know about us,” he said.

One such local artist is Victor Saenz, a web manager by day and artist by night. His piece “Bat in Captive” is on display in the current show.

Saenz is also a member of Sketch-o-Holics, a local art group that posts art on Facebook for others to critique. He said having work displayed is an amazing experience for artists.

“It gives them a sense of validation,” he said.

The gallery owns about half of the art. While most art galleries feature art and split commissions with the artists, Borin said he found many artists in this genre are not used to doing commission splits, he said.

“These artists aren’t used to doing that because there aren’t a lot of these kinds of galleries,” he said. “Most of them aren’t excited about doing the splits.”

To be featured in the gallery, the art first must fit the theme.

After that, Borin and Masters decide how many pieces they will feature, and pick the submissions they feel are the best.

“Some of the art in our eyes is better than other pieces,” said Borin. “We’re not experts by any means, but we’re the ones making the decisions.”

While the art is for sale, many of the pieces don’t get sold right away. Borin said he attributes this to the average age of the gallery’s audience, which is around 25 years old.

“The problem with people 25 and under is that they don’t have a lot of disposable income and can’t spend $500 on art,” he said.

Gabe Ortiz / Daily Lobo Batman-inspired art hangs on the gallery walls of Metropolis Comic Art Gallery on Tuesday.

The gallery includes watercolor, ink, metal and clay sculptures and 3-D art made from comic books.

To make up for this, the gallery sells affordable prints and vinyl POP figures, which are collectible figurines.

The gallery also plays host to a variety of art classes, most of which are free.

“Our hope is to pull in the community together,” Borin said.

“There’s a lot of smaller artistic groups around town and we’re trying to pull them all in to create a community that’s kind of based around here.”

Masters said she hopes to see the gallery grow, but she is happy

to take things as they come.

“I’m very open. I don’t know what this is going to look like …

But I hope we create a community that sees the comic genre as more of a form of art and not just this thing for kids,” she said.

Metropolis Comic Art Gallery is located at 1102 Mountain Road NW, Suite 202.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Sunflower festival showcases local artists

Aaron Sweet / Daily Lobo Mural artist Tomas Wolff examines his contribution to a community mural that he organized during the festival. He invited passersby and their children to paint alongside him.

Antonio Sanchez

culture@dailylobo.com As the 15th annual Mountainair Sunflower Festival was in full bloom Saturday afternoon, volunteer Dee Melaragno presented some of her artwork at the town’s local art gallery. Melaragno, a retired nurse from Rhode Island, said she had never painted until she moved to Mountainair.

“New Mexico brings out the artist in everyone, I think,” Melaragno said.

Melaragno is one of several volunteers to work at this year’s sunflower festival. Hundreds of attendees participated in the festivities while local produce and crafts were sold at nearby stands.

At one moment a small group of girls were judged on the craftiness of their sunflower hats; at another, an elderly couple danced beside a sunflower lamp shade to the country tunes of a local musician.

Melaragno has volunteered

at the festival since she arrived in Mountainair seven years ago. She said the small town thrives through local art. She also helps run the Cibola Art Gallery, a location held together by the volunteer work of other local artists. She said the gallery’s artwork helps encourage visitors to continue coming back to Mountainair.

“We get people who are coming from Belen and Manzano and all around,” she said. “The gallery has a nice reputation, so we bring people into town and when they’re in town they get something to eat, they’ll buy some groceries and it all sort of works.”

Mural artist Tomas Wolff organized a community mural during the festival, inviting passersby and their children to paint alongside him. Wolff got his start as a community muralist in Pennsylvania before continuing his work in Mountainair seven years ago.

“When I was living on the east coast in Pennsylvania, this was my main outlet, through community murals,” said Wolff. “I like working with

Aaron Sweet / Daily Lobo Lenora Romero shows off her prize-winning sunflower at the 15th annual Mountainair Sunflower Festival Saturday afternoon. Hundreds of attendees participated in the festivities from as near as Mountainair itself and from as far as Santa Fe. community people, (making) art a social force rather than it being some pretty pictures.”

Wolff is a member of the Manzano Mountain Art Council and has helped organize community murals throughout the town. Wolff said the project first began with a mural along the north wall of the town’s local market.

Adorned with shades of bright reds and greens, the vegetable basket depicted was pieced together by local artists and citizens with no prior experience in art, he said.

Since then, murals have spread throughout Mountainair. An elaborate quilt mosaic stretches alongside the local senior center while a

turquoise and red caduceus and ice cream cone adorn the nearby ‘Meds and More’ soda fountain’s wall.

Wolff said exposure towards creating community murals can help small towns like Mountainair.

“Mountainair is a depressed community — it is economically poor and so we’re sort of isolated out here,” he said. “One of the ways to get a community to revive is to get together. It is at the basis of community development, I think. Getting people to communicate, talk and share some of their ideas … art is one of the best ways to do that.”

New York native Donna Deiner has three years of Sunflower Festival volunteer experience under her belt.

Deiner, who was in charge of the festival’s information booth, raffles and T-shirts, said she and her husband retired to Mountainair after her son began attending school in New Mexico.

“We knew that when we retired we were not going to stay in New York,” she said. “I’ve found my second home.”

Deiner is also a member of the town’s mentorship program, where she monitors the education progress of an elementary school student. She said the town’s push toward community murals helps create a tighter community.

“This is a very special place,” Deiner said. “It’s blessed; It brings people together.”
