GALLUP HOSTS TRADITIONAL EVENTS; DEDICATES NEW VETERANS CEMETERY By Cody Begaye Sun Correspondent
E
ach year, Memorial Day com memor a tions pull the community together as people reflect on and show their appreciation for the members of the military who serve their country past and present. In Gallup, dubbed one of the most patriotic towns in A mer ica dur ing the Ra nd McNally “Best of the Road” contest, it’s no different. Following the placement of wreaths at Hillcrest Cemetery and a parade, residents and v isitors converged at the McKinley County Courthouse Square May 27.
COURTHOUSE SQUARE CEREMONY The ceremony started with a moment of a silence for Sen. John Pinto, D-McKinley/San Juan, who passed away May 24. Multiple speakers took the stage, all wanting to voice their thanks to the veterans at

He said everyone present at the courthouse square had been touched by someone’s military service in some way. “It does a person’s heart
good to see you all come out,” he said. “It’s a lot to give one’s life for their country.” Next to speak was New M e x i c o L t . G o v. H ow i e Morales, who said that there is no other place he would rather be on Memorial Day than Gallup.
“It is an honor to ser ve alongside senators and representatives,” he said. “There is no higher honor than service to others.”
Rep. Patricia Lundstrom, D-Gallup, said the ceremonies at the courthouse square and for the new Gallup State Veterans Cemetery will let people see that Gallup will never let veterans down. “The national cemetery for all veterans and their families is something new to be proud of,” she said. Next, Sen. George Munoz, D-Gallup, the grand marshal of the ceremony, was given a commemorative plaque on behalf of the Gallup McKinley Veterans Committee. “ S omet h i n g r a n g t r ue today: there are two people who will lay their life on the line, Jesus [Christ], or a soldier,” Munoz said as he accepted the plaque. Jess Butler, Navy veteran and co-founder of the Prewitt veterans organization Rockin J Reawakenings, spoke with the Sun about what Memorial Day means to him.

State Senator, Navajo Code Talker John Pinto dies Beth Blakeman and Staff
S
en. John Pinto, D-McKinley/San Juan, one of the nation’s longest serving Native American elected officials died May 24. Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said, “Words cannot express the sadness we feel for the loss of a great Diné warrior who served our country as a Navajo Code Talker and in the New Mexico State Senate for many years. He dedicated his life to helping others and he changed the lives of so many people for the better. We will miss his smile, his humor, and his love and compassion for the Navajo people. On behalf of Vice President Myron Lizer, myself, and our families, we offer our thoughts and condolences. May we take comfort in knowing that Honorable John Pinto is now with our Creator.” Born near Lupton, Ariz., in
Late New Mexico Sen. John Pinto. 1924, he attended a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school in Fort Defiance, Ariz. and received his bachelor’s degree at age 39, and later a master’s degree in elementary education from UNM. He worked for the GallupMcK inley County Schools system for 28 years. As president of the Gallup Indian Com mu n it y Cent er f rom

Upon his return, he became a member of the New Mexico Senate, representing the Third District, which includes the Four Corners area and spans much of western San Juan County, and a portion of western McKinley County, from 1977 until his death.

MEMORIAL DAY | FROM PAGE 4 “Memorial Day has a special meaning…That is about the top of my list. It means everything to us. We’re thankful for the guys that stand on that line and protect us. We’ve seen these people and we know that they’re there. Not just this day, and not just because it’s a national holiday. A lot us have seen those guys not come back, and that cements that in your mind a little better.”
THE NEW VETERANS CEMETERY The ceremonies continued later in the day at the site of the new Gallup Veterans State Cemetery, located at 333 Cemetery Drive off Hasler Road, south of McKinley County Juvenile Detention Center. The new cemetery is part of the State Veterans’ Cemetery Program, a statewide initiative to construct additional state veterans’ cemeteries across New Mexico within the next five years. The program was launched i n 2 013 by G ov. Su s a n a Martinez, with the goal of seeking construction funding through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Cemetery Grants Program. Despite heavy winds, the crowd at the ribbon-cutting ceremony was enthusiastic in showing support for veterans,

Speakers from the courthouse square ceremony were also present to address the crowd at the cemetery. “This is a great day for Gallup and the surrounding area,” McKinney said. “The cemetery will be an everlasting monument to the veterans who put the security of our country before their own,” he said. “It will be an eternal resting place [filled with the] dignity and honor they have earned,” he added. McKinney said the city council had to pull off a remarkable feat to get the property needed for the cemetery, but the council eventually came through. Last fall, the City of Gallup placed an advertisement for bids for the construction of the road to the cemetery site. The
project construction, including earthwork, called for 870 feet of new road, drainage channel, 885 feet of new water lines, sewer lines, and a force main, and was projected to cost just over $318,000, with an additional $250,000 for project development. The road constr uction projec t wa s awa rded t o TLC Plumbing & Utility, of Albuquerque, during the Gallup City Council’s Nov. 27 regular meeting. Two legislative grants and city bond funds made up the price of the project. The cemetery and ad jacent sites were constructed

George Eisenbach, director of the Veterans Cemetery Gra nts Progra m at the D e pa r t me nt of Vet er a n s Affairs, was present to address the crowd about what the cemetery means for veterans. “A veteran dies two deaths: once when they take their last breath,” he said, “and once when no one speaks their name. I urge you all to continue to talk their names.” W hen Mu noz took t he stage, he spoke about how he and Morales worked together on the project in the state
legislature. “The legislation passed the house and came to the senate,” Munoz said. “Then Senator Morales said there’s a chance for New Mexico to do something locally for veterans.” Lundstrom sa id that it would have been easy to walk away from the project after other location sites did not pan out, but the city did not give up and was ultimately able to make the project work. Addressing herself to the veterans, Lundstrom said, “If you want to always be regarded with the highest level of respect, come to Gallup.”

In the pursuit of excellence MEET CAMILLE’S TEACHER OF THE MONTH: ZIA REDULLAMANAGAYTAY By Cody Begaye Sun Correspondent
E
ach month, Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe recognizes one local teacher within the Gallup area for his or her determination to help students go above and beyond. Prospective teachers are nominated by students who feel they deserve the recognition. Zia Redulla-Managaytay, of Chee Dodge Elementary School, where she has been affectionately dubbed “Ms. Z” by parents and students, has held a decadeslong love for teaching. It was her love of teaching and a drive to push her students
to success that led to parents nominating her for Teacher of the Month, according to the Camille’s ballots. One person who nominated Redulla-Managaytay said that she deserved it because she helps students who struggle with personal and academic problems and helps them improve. Redulla-Managaytay said she stresses to parents the importance of pushing their kids to achieve. “I then tell them, ‘Your [child] is really smart, don’t be satisfied with just high school. Go for college,’” she said. “Tell them to seek out more education, travel, and broaden their perspective, and

Photo Credit: Cayla Nimmo University of the Philippines in 1994, she began teaching as a reading interventionist at the high school level. During a span where she taught at a university level for 11 years, Redulla-Managaytay emigrated from the Philippines to the United States in 2002. Then in 2007, she moved across the country and became one of four Filipino teachers at Ch’ooshgai Community School, where she taught special education students. “My passion is really teaching with students with special needs,” Redulla-Managaytay said in a May 24 interview. A f t e r e i g ht ye a r s a t Ch’ooshgai, Redulla-Managaytay transitioned to Chee Dodge Elementary, where she taught at both the second and fifth grade
levels. She said that her master’s degrees in administration and school counseling have helped her become flexible with both learning and teaching. “[Having] other [teaching] licenses means I can blend [in] and work anywhere,” she said. “It’s nice in regards to classroom management.” While the move from a large city in the Philippines to the rural region north of Gallup seemed daunting at first, Redulla-Managaytay said she quickly acclimated to her new environment. “Since I was one of four Filipinos from [a] city, [the area] was a new thing to me,” she said.

‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ is overbaked and...well...undercooked By Glenn Kay For the Sun
RATING: «« OUT OF «««« RUNNING TIME: 131 MINUTES
T
his reviewer is something of a monster movie aficionado who grew up watching old creature features on the television screen before actively seeking them out on various video formats. As a fan, I can come across as somewhat picky about them. The previous giant lizard film from 2015 had its share of issues. However, the movie succeeded in presenting the titular being with a sense of gravitas, displaying it as a truly immense and awe-inspiring force of nature. Godzilla: King of the Monsters does feature an onslaught of monsters fighting across the globe, but doesn’t feel as exciting, impressive, or weighty. Since the events of the first feature, Godzilla has vanished. However, work is still progressing at Monarch, an organization devoted to studying giant monsters. In fact, the story begins with Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) creating a device that sends signals out to various creatures hidden beneath the earth. Almost immediately, she and her daughter Madison (Millie Bobby Brown) encounter eco-terrorist Jonah Alan (Charles Dance). The nasty former colonel wants monsters to destroy civilization and return the world to a more natural state. After raising creatures like Ghidorah, Rodan and Godzilla, Emma’s ex-husband Mark (Kyle Chandler) and the Monarch team try to stop the rampage. These admittedly goofy movies always have a lot to overcome. Particularly, human characters who come across as far less interesting than their beastly counterparts. Sadly, this film is no exception. The main thrust of the plot is the contentious relationship between Emma, Mark, and Madison who, while cities fall around them, are in the midst COMMUNITY
Godzilla is one of the creatures battling in the murky Monsterverse in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.” Photo Credit: Warner Bros. of a family drama over the loss of another family member. While the actors do as well as they can, the screenplay is full of clunky lines and oversized emotional outbursts. It comes across as overbaked and, well, undercooked. There’s little reason to care about the central personal drama in the movie. The Monarch team doesn’t fare any better. They find themselves standing behind computer screens in a control room, delivering clumsy exposition as they search for Emma and her daughter. Circumstances give the team an up close and personal view of the various creatures battling it out. Yet by the second or third confrontation, it doesn’t feel as if the craft is in much peril. This presents another problem, as the editing often cuts between the fights and information (along with jokes) being relayed that seem tonally off. Perhaps the makers were trying to poke fun at clichés in the series, but many zingers don’t land and the familiar elements are never spun in a new or exciting way. Sadly, the biggest problem may be with the big monsters themselves. Some of the elaborate fights include impressive moments, but most of the scraps have the appearance of two CGI creatures trading blows against a phony CGI backdrop. Some of the skirmishes take place in the
Antarctic, as well as in oceans, not giving much of a sense of scale or weight to the conflicts. When the action moves to the bigger cities towards the final act, the smoking metropolises aren’t as realistic looking or
convincing as they should be (and the devastation doesn’t carry the same impact as in the previous venture). The monster fights don’t have the desired effect, feeling repetitive and ultimately tiring.
In the end, despite all the mayhem, neither the humans nor the monster s come across as particularly ingratiating, a nd a s such there isn’t much of a rea son to care about what is happening onscreen. That’s very unfortunate for a movie with such an iconic star. Godzilla: King of the Monsters offers a few amusing gags and moments of monster action that enterta in. However, it’s deeply f lawed a nd appea rs especially geared to younger audiences (not unlike last year’s Pa c if i c R im: Up r i s in g). In the end, this lizard king deserves better. (Note: For those interested, there is a post-credits scene that sets up another sequel. While I believe I know what was implied, those unfamiliar with Japanese monsters will likely be left scratching their heads.) V i s i t : w w w . CinemaStance.com

CHEE DODGE | FROM PAGE 8 “But I began to love the place.” As part of her conferences with students and their families, Redulla-Managaytay said that she sometimes travels to remote areas on the outer edges of Gallup, and the parents of her students greet her kindly. “This will always be my second home,” she said. All of the conferences with parents are to help her with her main focus: pushing her students to do well. This includes encouraging them to prepare for state tests in hopes of becoming proficient in areas such as mathematics and English and language arts. “I want my kids to have good scores, so I was pushing them to pass their tests,” RedullaManagaytay said. “While their success varies and is subjective, I really push them with everything.” In this way, many people see Redulla-Managaytay as motherly, she said. But she embraces

Gallup, May 15 A Gallup man who was expecting the arrival of new checks was noti f ied by his bank, Washington Federal, that several checks were written and cashed between May 9, May 14 and
May 19, for $200, $500, and $400, respectively. One check wa s signed and cashed by Ashlee Ortiz and two by Moses Alonzo for a combined total of $1,100. According to the police report, the victim, Ernesto Fuentes, stated that he was familiar with the name “Moses Alonzo,” as a man by that name used to live behind him, but had reportedly moved out of the area. F uent e s s a id he’s not sure how the new checks were intercepted in the mail, but on May 20, police were dispatched to Washington Federal about Ortiz attempting to cash a check for $200. She claimed that Fuentes purchased a washer and dryer from her, but Fuentes denied that the tra nsaction took place. Ortiz was charged with receiving stolen property and forgery.
will be felt across not only this nation, but the world. A Marine and Navajo Code Talker, he played a crucial role in winning the Second World War, preserving freedoms for Americans and many more people worldwide. The debt we owe for that service, and the service of all Code Talkers, can never be repaid,” she said. “A senator for more than 40 years, he represented
his constituents with grace, wisdom, and tenacity. Through the relationships he built and respect he earned, he was able to secure innumerable crucial investments for New Mexico communities, in particular Native communities. His record of service is unblemished, and his unwavering commitment to his people will forever serve as a shining example.”
that idea and trains her students to be responsible and to act respectfully. “Some parents expressed to me that their kids are not respecting them at home,” she said. “I talked to the kids about it. I told them parents are parents, and they’re owed respect.” After speaking with some of these students, RedullaManagaytay said their parents later thanked her after they saw improvement in their children’s attitudes. This past week marked the final days of RedullaManagaytay at Chee Dodge Elementary. She said that she will be moving to New York City next week, so her children can attend to their studies, and then she will be touring Europe, before returning to the Philippines this year. But this is not goodbye, she added. She expects to return to the area in several years. Having lived near Gallup for over a decade, she said that she’s had experiences where former students who are now doctors,
engineers, and serving in the military have come up to her and thanked her for what she did for them. She said she hopes to have that same experience when she returns. “I always tell the kids to learn more, and I’ll see them in high school or college,” she said. “I want them to have a college degree.” Redulla-Managaytay wished to thank her students, the parents of Chee Dodge Elementary, and the administration, principal, and Gallup McKinley County Schools for their support. More than anything, she hopes that parents and students will see the value of motivating their students to achieve higher success. “I believe your potential will be discovered if you push yourself,” she said.
