INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW 2020 HD GMC SIERRA, IN OUR SHOWROOM TODAY!

SEPTEMBER CITY UPDATE Improvements at Cecil Garcia Fitness Center The City of Gallup encourages you to stop by the Cecil Garcia Fitness Center to check out the improvements made to the facility. The facility has been rearranged and additional equipment has been added to both the cardio room and the weight room. The Fitness Center is open 5am to 9pm Monday through Friday and 7am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. For information on membership, please call (505) 722-7271.

NorthFest The City of Gallup, in partnership with gallupARTS, invites you to the third annual NorthFest event on Saturday, September 14th, from 10am to 3pm. The event is taking place at the Larry Brian Mitchell Recreation Center. Every September, NorthFest celebrates the city’s Northside neighborhood’s diversity and spirit through art, language, culture, and community-building activities.

This year, families are invited to collaborate on a community mosaic with gallupARTS, work with their hands during a clay tile workshop presented by local potter Steve Marti, or build a rocket ship with the Octavia Fellin Public Library Children’s Branch. With an interactive exhibit by ATD Fourth World - New Mexico, attendees can go on an adventure by traveling back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. There will be an opportunity to learn Chinese calligraphy with local artist Hongying Zhang or build sky-high block towers with Steve Roger. Families can also explore new toys with the UNM Early Childhood Services Toy Lending and Resource Library and play larger-than-life-sized games in the giant game tent. NorthFest is a free event and is open to all members of our community. Don’t miss the fun with free face painting, free balloon animals, and the free live music by Dixie Highway (performing Americana), father/ daughter band Rippy and the Sillyette’s (performing oldies but goodies), and Phonográfica (performing latin music). This event is generously sponsored by City Councilor Linda Garcia. NorthFest is produced by Gallup ARTS, ATD Fourth World - New Mexico, and the City Parks and Recreation Department with participation by the Octavia Fellin Public Library Children’s Branch and many great community partners. For questions on how to participate, please contact gallupARTS at (505) 488-2136.

New Solid Waste Facility Completed The Solid Waste Department is excited about the completion of their new facility at 1580 Hasler Valley Road. The architect for the project was Huitt-Zollars, Inc., and construction was completed by Murphy Builders. The facility includes a new administration building, a maintenance shop, and covered vehicle bays.

The Solid Waste fleet currently includes 27 vehicles, and this facility will allow for better upkeep of the fleet.

Solid Waste Collection Reminders Here are a few reminders from the Solid Waste Department to assist with trash pickup in your neighborhood: 1. Please set your herbie out by 7am, on your scheduled day of service, with the wheels against the curb or as close to the street as possible. Please avoid obstructing the sidewalk as that interferes with pedestrian safety. Also, the herbie needs to be at least 5 feet away from other objects, such as landscaping, cars, trees, mailboxes, etc. The trucks are unable to collect if there are obstructions to the herbie or if you fail to place it out on your collection day. You may call (505) 863-1212 to schedule a collection but you will be assessed a fee for a collection outside your normally scheduled day of service.

2. There is no set time for garbage collection on your day of service.

3. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day are the only holidays where your normally scheduled route will be impacted. Collection for these routes will be the next weekday after the impacted holiday. For all other holidays, collection will run as scheduled.

4. To dispose of your own items, residential customers that are in good standing and located within city limits, are allowed (3) three coupons valued at $7.00 each (300 lbs. per coupon), per service account per calendar year (January – December.) Coupons can be picked up at City Hall – Customer Care Services located at 110 West Aztec Avenue between the hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and from 9am to 5pm on Wednesdays.

Are You A Member?

By Leaf Ashley, La Montañita Co-op Gallup Store Team Leader

10

September 2019

If you’ve ever been in La Montañita Co-op’s store at 105 East Coal Avenue here in Gallup, you probably already know that we’re all about healthy, local food for a positive impact on our planet and our community. There is a lot more to us than meets the eye though – did you know that anyone can walk in and become a part owner of our business in a matter of minutes?

Cooperatives are a special way of doing business that puts the community in charge, rather than out-of-state investors or executives. We do this through something called “membership,” and at La Montañita Co-op, membership means way more than just getting access to some extra sales. Sure, we have sales available just for members, and we have special sale events that make it super easy to save more than the cost of membership, but it’s the other parts of membership that are even more interesting.

Cooperative businesses are owned by the people who use them. At a co-op, membership means ownership; it’s not like Sam’s Club where you have to be a member to go inside. Everyone’s always invited and welcome to La Montañita Co-op, but if you choose to become a member, some really cool stuff happens. First and foremost, you join almost 16,000 other people in New Mexico who own our cooperative together. While it might sound a little abstract at first, this is a big deal. By definition as a cooperative, we exist to serve the people – ALL the people – of New Mexico. We answer to our members, who we often call “member-owners” to drive home how important they are to how we run our business. If we were to go out of business, our assets would be split between all our member-owners; when we say you own the co-op, we mean it literally.

Every year, members can vote in our annual elections to determine who sits on the board of directors. Any member can run for the board – if you’re reading this before September 15th, you could come by La Montañita Co-op today, become a member, and run for a seat in this November’s board elections. The nine-member board steers the entire cooperative to make sure we’re always doing what’s best for the roughly 16,000 families who own our business. Put simply, our cooperative is a democracy where every member can have their views represented at the highest levels of decision-making.

Do you think we should try to support a certain farm, that we should start a new program to feed those in need, or that we should expand or open

another location? If 2019 GRIZZLY EPS SE you become a member, you can get directly involved in making ideas like those become real. The idea here is that a community knows what it wants and needs so much better than an outside corporation ever could; THE ULTIMATE RECREATIONAL BIG BORE ATV cooperatives like La NEW GRIZZLY EPS SE: 14-inch aluminum wheels • 27-inch Grizzly-exclusive Maxxis ‘Zilla Tires Montañita exist so • Ultramatic Transmission – the world’s most advanced and durable ATV drive system – tuned to that communities like match the SE tire and wheel package • Improved rider connectivity via a larger, updated LCD digital meter • Expanded versatility with a new rear hitch assembly with 2-inch receiver • Eye-catching Gallup can decide Backcountry Blue matte paint • Grizzly EPS comes with a powerful engine tuned for spirited for themselves how riding and hard-hitting punch • Legendary On-Command 4WD • Yamaha Electric Power Steering • All-wheel twin-piston disc brakes • 5-way preload-adjustable independent suspension something like a • Thick, plush seat and roomy riding position grocery store could HIGH DESERT CYCLES most benefit the people HIGH DESERT CYCLES 1315A HAMILTON RD who shop there and live around it.

GALLUP NM,1315A 87305HAMILTON RD Because of members, co-ops are governed by principles, not 505-722-3821GALLUP, NM 87301 profits. Seven principles to be exact, each laid out to make sure 505-722-3821 cooperatives are always trying to do what is best for the world and the people living in it. Our board also lays out what they call “Ends,” which are long-term goals that we are always measuring ourselves against. La Montañita Co-op’s Ends are increasing access to healthy food, supporting environmentally sound agriculture, contributing to a thriving and sustainable local ATV shown is recommended for use only by riders age 16 years and older. Yamaha recommends that all ATV riders take an approved training course. For safety and economy for the benefit of people living there, and strengthening training information, see your dealer or call the ATV Safety Institute at 1-800-887-2887. Read the Owner’s Manual and the product warning labels before operation.

ATVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety: Always avoid paved surfaces. Never ride on public roads. Always wear a helmet, eye protection and protective the overall cooperative community. Think we’re missing clothing; never carry passengers; never engage in stunt riding; riding and alcohol/drugs don’t mix; avoid excessive speed; and be particularly careful on difficult terrain. ©2018 Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. All rights reserved. • YamahaOutdoors.com something? Become a member! These Ends were written by our board, who are made up of members from around New Mexico. This is the exciting thing about membership at a cooperative: by design, YOU have the power and ability to change how we do things so we’re always doing what’s best for New Mexico.

Now of course, there are some other perks too. In addition to the special sales and discount events that I mentioned earlier, there are some other concrete benefits that play a big part in some members’ decision to join La Montañita Co-op. Through our volunteer program, members can make a positive impact at a local non-profit and MORRIS MUSKETT COLLECTION receive a discount at our store in exchange.

“CLOUD LADY” Even if it doesn’t impact us directly, it makes a difference in the community, and we want to reward that good work. If you’re buying something in a large quantity, members get a 10% case discount. If there is a product you don’t see on our shelves, ask us about special ordering it for you. And when we have good years with profits to spare, we give those dollars right back to our members.

Cooperatives are just a better way of doing business, and we have our members to thank for that. You don’t have to be a member to shop with us though! Come by 105 East Coal Avenue sometime and see what we’re all about – if you end up wanting to make a difference in the work we’re doing for New Mexico, we’d love to have you. ®

Does Gallup Need A Sports Co-op?

September 2019

FREE QUOTES

By Jason Arsenault Wouldn’t it be cool if you could head out to Bluewater Lake State Park on a Saturday morning and go kayaking or paddle boarding? What about a two night camping/hiking excursion in the Zuni Mountains with the latest gear that made it enjoyable?

How about being able to shop for some quality running gear to enjoy the

numerous trails and open roads of our area? Could it be possible to operate and maintain a zip line adventure off the White Cliffs or in McGaffey, or both? Gallup is New Mexico’s Adventure Capital without the businesses in place to build our area as an adventure destination. That is why a cooperative might make the most sense for us who want to create an outdoor lifestyle community.

Basically a cooperative is an organization that is started by the people who want to use the services and products offered by that specific organization. Outdoor equipment can be very expensive, and it is unrealistic for a business to open its doors in Gallup, New Mexico, that sells expensive products with a small market. However, there are a number

of people that want access to these services/products, and a cooperative allows group purchasing where a profit-driven company doesn’t see the ability to be viable carrying these products.

Typically a for-profit business is owned by one person who makes all the decisions (all the voting power).

Cooperatives run differently; each member is given one vote making the decisions equal among the members.

This is one of the major advantages of having a cooperative. Plus, it gives the organization a lower debt risk because each member is liable only to the extent of their investment.

Also, when it comes to the end-ofthe-year tax time the cooperative could be structured to be exempt from income tax. All of these benefits make

a cooperative very enticing for the interested parties.

It is no secret that tourism plays a critical part in Gallup’s economy.

When we have events like the InterTribal Indian Ceremonial, Red Rock Balloon Rally, and the Best of the Best Rodeo, our hotels, restaurants, and businesses are filled with customers.

Our community has already made a significant investment in trail building and, along with our natural landscape, our area is very inviting to outdoor enthusiasts. Let’s start promoting our area with a cooperative that tells visitors we are serious about entertaining them with our many outdoor attributes.

The first step to a cooperative is getting a group of people together with a same goal.

LONELY ARE THE BRAVE I

KIRK DOUGLAS’ FAVORITE FILM ROLE

n 1951, Kirk Douglas made the movie Ace in the Hole filmed west of Gallup at the state line. It was one of his best. In 1962, fresh off his success in Spartacus, Kirk Douglas starred in what he calls “my favorite movie.”

Lonely Are The Brave was based on the novel Brave Cowboy by Edward Abbey. When I asked Ed about the film, he wasn’t whole-heartedly happy with it, but it worked off a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo.

Trumbo had been caught up in the “Commie” nonsense in the early fifties and spent some jail time for contempt of court. He was blackballed as one of the “Hollywood Ten” because he refused to testify in front of Joe McCarthy’s kangaroo court. Kirk Douglas managed to get him screen credit for Spartacus and he wanted him to do the screenplay for the Cowboy film. Trumbo wanted to call it The Last Cowboy. I would have been happy with Brave Cowboy, myself.

KIRK DOUGLAS WITH HIS HORSE -WHISKEY

FENCE CUTTING

The movie opens with Kirk Douglas by a campfire. It quickly becomes clear that he is on the west mesa, above Albuquerque. There is an early shot with the “volcanoes” in the background. The audience doesn’t immediately know it, but the filly he calls, appropriately, Whiskey, is going to be a problem. When Kirk tries to saddle her, she keeps pulling off the blanket every time he picks up the saddle.

Almost immediately he rides up on a barbed wire

fence. Cowboys used to pull some post staples, lead their horse across, and then staple the wires back to the posts.

This cowboy just cuts them.

He says a cowboy has to hate fences… “And the more fences there are, the more he hates them.”

When the camera turns to the east, the Sandia Mountains come into sight, and what looks like a small town sitting at the base of the mountains. Albuquerque at the time had a population of 200,000 but in the distance shots it looks smaller. Abbey had been a long-time resident of Duke City, as it is called in the film.

The cowboy is looking to bust an old friend out of jail. Paul Bondi is facing two years in prison—nailed for helping illegal immigrants. How familiar that rings sixty years later.

He leaves his horse with his buddy’s wife, played by Gina Rowlands. They were obviously an item sometime in the past.

A man with one arm picks a fight with Jack Burns (Douglas) in a local bar. The one-armed actor later got a recurring role in the television series The Fugitive. When Burns isn’t quite getting the worst of the scuffle, the other patrons join in. When the cops show up, it is Burns who is taken to jail. When they decide to let him go, he punches a cop and they throw him in.

No surprise, he has no identification.

“I know who I am,” he tells the cops.

All that trouble and his friend Paul refuses to make a break for it. The loneliness in the movie title is what a true loner can expect. Burns cuts the bars and he and two Navajos escape.

The holding cell is identical to the one that used to be in the old courthouse in Gallup. Just one big cage.

Walter Matthau is wonderful as the sheriff who is really rooting for the cowboy to escape. There are two ongoing gags. Every day the sheriff watches a dog make his daily rounds,

Clearly Burns thinks that is where the whole country is headed.

Gutierrez and some other lawmen have gone up to the rim to cut the cowboy off if he makes it that far. Kennedy goes off on his own because he clearly wants Ed was hired as a consultant on the film. I think revenge. So, the film he told me once they gave him a thousand dollars.

For all his talk, Burns can’t kill - ernie@buffalomedicine.com the man, so he knocks him out and continues up and an invisible cowboy. Harry, throw me that canteen. I haven’t got enough spit left to wet a stick of gum.”

While Burns is in jail, he makes an enemy of a deputy named Gutierrez. George Kennedy was superb in Cool Hand Luke as Newman’s buddy, but this go-round he plays a sadistic lawman who is out for revenge. Kennedy makes a great bad guy. I mean, he really looks and acts like a sociopath.

In the meantime, Jack Burns has retrieved his horse and headed up the face of the Sandia’s.

There is no movie set hokum here. The escape route is right up through the rocks. Now and then there is a look at tiny Albuquerque, and there are no buildings up along the river at all.

Matthau and his nutty deputy drive up to the base of the trail. The army wants to get in the act, so they talk the sheriff into help from a helicopter. When Burns shoots the copter down, the General is less than happy. Bill Bixby is the uncredited helicopter pilot. Bixby appeared in a couple of sitcoms, but is better known for The Hulk.

All the while, we keep getting shots of an eighteen-wheeler full of toilets going down old Route 66. The truck driver is Carol GEORGE KENNEDY

Michael Mink.

I have read both of these books and find them very fascinating and also very sad that there are people out there who, for some unknown reason, just flat-out lie about their own military service or make up some elaborate story just to make a buck or to achieve fame.

I for one am very proud of my own military service, and while my “rack” does not contain any “Valor Awards,” I worked hard for what I earned and have them proudly displayed in my home.

In closing, does this mean if you see someone in or out of uniform wearing a bunch of medals and ribbons or other military items you approach them and accuse them of Stolen Valor? My answer to that is no; please do not do this as you may not know this person and wouldn’t want to accuse someone of wearing something they actually earned. You also would not want to put yourself in

a dangerous situation.

The best advice I can give is for those of us who have worn the uniform of our country is to be proud of your own military service. I am very proud of all my brothers and sisters who have taken that solemn oath to protect and defend this great country. And for those who did not serve, but are claiming to have done so, please stop. I know the First Amendment gives us the right to freely express ourselves, but do not dishonor those who have given their lives to protect this freedom. If you wish to express yourself in an honorable fashion, please do so in the following ways. Fly a flag at your home, or if you see a torn or tattered flag, offer to replace it. Visit the Gallup Veterans Helping Veterans post just to say hello or to have a cup of coffee, or just enjoy the freedoms we have in this country by being a great American.

This month’s Medal of Honor quote comes from Mr. Lucian Adams, who received our nations highest award for Valor during WW2. I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Adams, but as I was looking through the Medal of Honor “Quote” book, I found this one to be so pertinent to this month’s story.

His quote is as follows: “The legacy of brave men and women who fought and died for their country is the freedom we enjoy as Americans.”

This and many other great quotes from America’s greatest heroes can be found in the Medal of Honor “Quotes” Inspiration from American’s Military Heroes and is available from the Center for American Values in Pueblo, CO. Here is their website: http:// www.americanvaluescenter.org/

This year’s project is the renovation of the Women’s Health Unit. This 5-year plan will renovate the Dr. Philip Kamps Women’s Health and Birthing Unit at Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital and renovate and expand College Clinic for a Family Medicine/OB Residency Program.

Our goal of raising $750,000 will provide new labor-and-delivery beds, fetal monitors, computers, infant warmers, resuscitation units, and comfortable furnishings for each of the new rooms. With this money, we will also be able to renovate and refresh the entire unit.

The second phase will focus on College Clinic construction to expand the Clinic space and provide for the growth of the Family Medicine/OB Residency Program.

Rare are the times in our life when wonder takes our breath away; When we first look into mother’s eyes, or at our first love; When we see the Grand Canyon, or Hawaii’s Rainbow; When we hear a beautiful song; or hear a baby breathing.

And your breath will be taken away to see the paintings of beautiful praying Children And the soulful description about painting them. - Palacios

WHY DID I PAINT PRAYING CHILDREN? Children are our future, they are loved by almost everyone, they are honest and haven’t the inhibitions caused by too much life seasoning. Yet most children have an innocent wisdom and clarity about their view of life. I love children, and because of that, I opened the first teaching art studio in Gallup in 1967 when I was pregnant with our younger son, Paul Anthony. I always kept a large photo file of children’s photographs, because I might use them some day. That someday came in 1996 when I was facing the fact that my mother was dying.

We were very close and I taught her how to paint when she was 62 years old. We painted, played, and worked together. Losing her was monumental. There were no words left unsaid between us when she did make her transition. Mom loved and protected children all her life because she was raised in orphanages and foster homes. She wanted no one child to feel left out or abused. I learned to love children through her and also from my nieces who were much younger that myself. I cared for them as I grew up. This is one reason I started painting children.

After painting all of the negative “crap” or junk I could find and dealing with my own emotional upsets in paint, I reached a point where I never wanted to paint the negative side of life again, EVER! Children are hope, these children gave me hope.

I painted this series when my sons were causing me so much worry. I feared for their lives because of their involvement with addictions, which did eventually lead to our younger son’s early death in 2007.

My form of worshiping my Creator has always been developing my “God-given” talent to create beauty through painting.

I have always felt that the greatest sin was not using this gift. I am very close to God when I paint on-site landscapes. I was very intensely worshiping when I painted these children. They made me happy during a very sad period in my life. When I paint the beauty that God created in children or landscapes, I feel I am giving back by depicting what our Creator made. As I grew into adulthood and had painted all my worldly problems and negative feelings on canvas, I prayed to be able to “glorify God” through the talent that was given me. When I paint, I feel very spiritual and in tune with a higher energy.

I want these paintings to leave a message of hope, beauty, love, tenderness and humor in a very chaotic and troubled world. I want to be able to help children who do not have the means to exist in comfortable surroundings, as I did when I was growing up in Gallup, NM. Every child should have a sound education and a comfortable home with good food and a safe environment, but there are far too many who don’t. These are the target of any financial success that I make from this series.

I love to give, it makes me feel good to give. It is also my form of worship. It is the proper order of things to return what has been given to us, to those who don’t have...but deserve to have. I also want other people to give to children, because they are earth’s future. I don’t mean to spoil children, but guide them, love them, teach them, make certain they are provided for so they can grow into valuable citizens who also have learned how to give of themselves! I believe this is what God wants us to do with the time we spend on earth, HELP OTHERS! I want people to become educated in the power that lies in a child; it is healing.

These paintings of children are humorous and fun, direct and honest. They are all “real kids” who have the ability to transport adults to their refreshing world of worship. The refreshing innocence of each child is a lesson for adult eyes - a lesson in how to grow in a very personal friendship with our Maker. This is the message I want to be received by the viewer.

Cherish each moment with your children and relish the childhood reflections even in yourself.

Questions For Dr. Valda

What is your business here in Gallup and what brought you to Gallup?

I arrived in Gallup in 2001 to work for IHS in Ft. Defiance. After one year at Fort, I started my practice Small Fry Dentistry here in Gallup. Prior to arriving in Gallup, I was in Germany as a contractor dentist for the Army.

What was the inspiration behind going to Peru?

Doing humanitarian work has always been my calling. I tried to establish it in my home country of Bolivia but Peru made it easier to go there. My grandfather was a doctor and spent most of his career in underprivileged areas.

What does a normal day look like when you are serving the people in Peru?

A normal day is to arrive at a site, most likely a church or school at 8:00am.

The word has already been out that a dental clinic will arrive. People walk for two days to arrive and to be treated. By 5:00pm we have to start turning people down until the next morning. The hardest part is having to leave when so many people have not been treated.

What kind of reception do you receive from the people in Peru? Do you ever take other doctors with you on your trip?

I work with two other dentists in Peru.

They are in charge of organizing everything before I arrive. The locals will feed us and go out of their way to make sure we have help. Children will hold flashlights while we work because there is no electricity available.

Are you planning on going back, and what can our community do to help you? Would you be interested in giving a presentation of what you do to share with the community?

I have been going to Peru each year now for six years. I would love to give a presentation in the future to try and take other dentists or assistants. We always need money and dental supply donations.

I also give out hundreds of toothbrushes. Any donation is always helpful.

On your travels to Bolivia, what was the most exciting thing to share with your family on this trip?

After Peru I went to Bolivia, where I was offered to return with my drones to MAP Tiwanaku. It is a UNESCO site that is still being excavated.

They need 3D imaging of ruins, as well as topographical mapping. I will return in December to work with UNESCO and Bolivian authorities.

Permits are being worked on now.

The 101 to Car Insurance has its own required minimums, and you always have the option to purchase coverage beyond those minimums. Review your current coverages; you Car insurance is AWESOME!! Everyone has it, everyone needs it, but most people really do not know may be surprised at how little or how much liability coverage you have. what their car insurance covers. You just go along

Well, your first thought explain some of the basics of your car insurance might be, wasn’t that driver legally required to have policy so that you can review your own policy and insurance? You would be correct, but you also know get more comfortable with what you have, and more that not everyone follows every law all the time. In importantly, what you are paying for.

The other important aspect of car insurance is protecting your vehicles value. This is covered by what people usually refer to as “full coverage.”

When someone mentions “full coverage,” what they are really talking about is COLLISION and COMPREHENSIVE insurance. Unlike liability coverage that pays for damage done to someone else’s vehicle, these types of coverages help pay for the cost of repair to your vehicle when it is damaged. Collision covers your vehicle when it is in an accident with another vehicle or object. Comprehensive covers your vehicle when there is some other type of damage such as fire, theft, a rock flying in the air while driving, etc.

When discussing collision and comprehensive, it is important to discuss deductibles. A deductible is the amount of money that must be paid out of pocket by you, the insured, before the insurance company begins paying any repair expenses, like when you go to the doctor and you pay a co-pay; it is the same idea. Just like your medical insurance, the higher the deductible the cheaper the auto insurance. It is important to find the right balance of choosing a deductible that will fit into your budget in the event of an accident while

also managing the cost of your monthly insurance premium. Reviewing your current policy to confirm those deductible amounts will really help prevent any surprises in the event you ever need to file a claim with your insurance company.

All insurance is meant to protect you and personal property in the event that the unexpected happens. As with other aspects of your life, it is valuable to know what is and is not covered when that crazy situation does happen. While you may find the information I covered helpful, there are many other aspects and details to car insurance that you should educate yourself on.

If you have any questions about your auto, home, or life insurance, do not hesitate to call our office and speak to one of our licensed professionals. They can discuss your individual situations and help determine what type of insurance best fits your needs.

Our office is located in Downtown Gallup at 196 E Hwy 66, between First St. and Puerco Dr. Or if you prefer to call, 505-722-6900.

History of the Flag: Part 4

By Martin Link The Second Flag Act, January 13, 1794 — “Be it enacted that the flag of the United States be fifteen stripes alternate red and white. The Union be fifteen stars, white in a blue field.” This brought more standardization to the flag, at least in the colors of the stripes and position of the stars. It was generally agreed that both a stripe and a star would be added for each state that was brought into the Union, but that concept wasn’t adhered to.

THE GREAT STAR FLAG By the spring of 1846, when war was officially declared against the Republic of Mexico, the United States had twenty-six states. Prior to that date, in 1835, the unique design for the twenty-five stars was a great star. In 1837 with the admission of Michigan, a twenty-sixth star was simply placed in the center.

With the outbreak of the Mexican War, this flag accompanied Gen. John C. Fremont as his army invaded northern California, and also Commodore Robert Stockton when he landed his marines at the port of Los Angeles.

This flag also accompanied Gen. Stephen W. Kearny and a detachment of Missouri Volunteers under Col. Alexander Doniphan, as he led the Army of the West from Ft. 46

September 2019

Leavenworth, Kansas, along the Santa Fe Trail in July and August 1846, with orders to subdue the Territory of New Mexico. He raised this flag over the town of Las Vegas on August 15th, when he read his proclamation of annexation, and again on August 18th in Santa Fe, when he replaced the Mexican government and the Mexican flag on the Palace of the Governors with the Stars and Stripes.

Gen. Kearny and his Army of the West soon left for California, but Col. Doniphan stayed behind for a while to help the new government deal with the various Indian tribes. Doniphan, with the Great Star flag fluttering in the autumn breeze, met the Navajo leaders at Shush bi’ Toh (Bear Springs), the future site of Fort Wingate, and signed a treaty of mutual peace on November 22, 1846.

When the fifteen-starred, fifteenstriped flag flew over Ft. McHenry on that fateful morning of September 14, 1814, it was already outdated. Tennessee (1796), Ohio (1803), and Louisiana (1812) had brought the number of states to eighteen. It wasn’t until 1815, when the war with England was over, that Congress started thinking about making a change in the design, by reducing the number of stripes to the original thirteen; but a definite decision was never made during its perennial debates in Congress.

During this time Indiana became the nineteenth state in 1816, and on December 10, 1817, Mississippi became the twentieth state. At that point, under the encouragement of Rep. Peter H. Wendover of New York, Congress took the flag dilemma seriously, and on April 4, 1818, passed the third and final Flag Act. Thus, the first flag created under this Act has always been considered as the first official American flag.

Flying the flag at half-staff is one of the oldest customs dealing with the flag In somber times, we recognize the flag at half-staff as a symbol of a nation in mourning. The practice is observed in nearly every country across the world, in mourning of important people or events and is always related to death. Folklore indicates that the origins of this practice may extend back to the sixteenth century.

One of the earliest accounts in the United States of the flag being lowered to halfstaff was to mourn the death of the first president, George Washington, during the latter half of December 1799.

There are also the anniversaries of tragic events when the flag is flown at halfstaff, including Memorial Day, Pearl Harbor Day (December 7th), and Destruction of Twin Towers Day (September 11th). Russia still flies its flags at half-staff on June 22nd to commemorate the Nazi invasion of the USSR, and in Israel their flag is lowered for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

W

hen I was growing up, one of my older sisters married a man who loved racing cars. He would build stock cars, sprint cars, and miniature cars over the years.

His sons and son-in-law also took up the hobby. For many years, I would go and watch them race as fast as they could around the short, dirt track. They were so good at positioning themselves for success.

We are always preparing for the next turn. When we are young, we need a bank account to learn how to handle our finances. We are preparing for college, careers, leaving school, etc.

Then we are in college or the workforce and we are planning and preparing for homes, cars, expanding work opportunities, marriage, family, and children. Once we think we are on the straightaway of life, we realize that our children are entering the track and we need On these short tracks, there to prepare them to take their are not a lot of straightaways. turns in life.
