Would a Foreign Trade Zone help Gallup businesses?

By Holly J. Wagner Sun Correspondent

G

allup isn’t exactly an import-export hub, so it seems like an unlikely place for a Foreign Trade Zone. But city leaders are looking into the possibility that having something like it could benefit local businesses and maybe even attract new ones to the area.

The zone is part of a larger strategy to tra nsfor m the local economy, using the city’s transportation assets to entice

companies to set up shop in McKinley County, Michael Sage, Deputy Director of the Greater Ga llup Economic Development Cor poration, said.

“Gallup knows itself as a railroad town, a transportation town. It’s just a natural evolution of what it’s always been,” he said. “We want to move into manufacturing, we want to move into warehousing, we want to move into logistics a nd autonomous vehicles. All of those sectors are contingent upon an FTZ.”

A Foreign Trade Zone is a n a rea where compa nies ca n i mpor t a nd hold raw m a t er i a l s dut y-f r e e, a nd export finished products to other countries with reduced duties. It’s not a possibility now because it requires a Customs and Border Patrol agent on site.

But Gallup might be eligible with a related program called a User Fee Air port.

That would not only open the possibility of a Foreign Trade Zone, it would let an air carrier offer passenger flights to and from Gallup to Canada and Mexico.

With so many sole proprietor businesses in the area, it could also help them navigate a supply chain in which they are small fish, because goods coming into coastal ports can rema in under the Foreign

Deputy Director of the GGEDC Michael Sage. File Photo Trade Zone designation so they don’t have to wait at the port until Customs has time to clear smaller orders.

“If we have a Customs of f icer i n Ga l lup a nd we can clear Customs, no longer does [a company] have to wait for Customs in Los Angeles or Long Beach to get to you,” Sage said.

The catch: Gallup would have to come up w ith $200,000 a year for five years

– $1 million total – to pay for a CBP officer posted here.

That may not be as bad as it sounds. Marshall Miller, who is one half of the specialist attorney team the city hired to do a feasibility study, said the program can pay for itself and then some, and in some places businesses that use it put up the money for the Customs agent.

“The reality is that normally the financial savings creates a payback on all of the expenses within a few months,” he told the city council Oct. 25. The staff plans to bring the council a resolution to pursue the User Fee Airport application at its Nov. 8 meeting. The application costs would be grant funded.

Mea nwhile, Brow n a nd Marshall will reach out to local businesses to assemble a list of those that might benefit. Mayor Louis Bonaguidi noted he might be a mong them.

“My own business, we buy leather from Mexico. We buy leather from Brazil,” he said.

“That may be an area [where] we can save money by buying direct.”

Councilor Michael Schaaf, Dist. 2, said the event went well, with about 75 to 100 people attending.

He explained that the current building has experienced mold problems due to a leaking roof, and noted that people around the city have been saying Gallup has needed an updated public safety building since 2000. Now, 20 years later, it’s finally coming to fruition.

“They’ve had a lot of problems

with the building recently,” Schaaf said. “The building is 50 years old, and it’s had problems for years.”

The new building will be bigger and better, with more advanced technology.

The current building is 39,000 square feet split between the police department (29,056 square feet) and the municipal court (7,718 square feet) and a separate, 2,000 square foot training facility. The new one will be located directly behind the current building.

It will be 41,213 square feet over two stories with 65 public parking spaces, compared to the 44 there now.

DEAR FUTURE TENANTS As most of you know there are many people in this area who need housing. Gallup Housing Authority is one of several housing providers who offers “assisted housing” for “income qualified” families.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE? We determine your eligibility based on income limits developed by HUD. HUD defines low income as families who have gross incomes of 30% up to 80% of county median incomes. Gallup Housing Authority can provide you with information on income limits for the Gallup-McKinley County area.

HOW IS RENT DETERMINED? Your rent is based on your family’s anticipated gross annual income less authorized deductions/allowances. HUD allows the following deductions/allowances: $480 for each dependent; $400 for elderly or a person with a disability; and some medical deductions for families headed by an elderly person or a person with disabilities. Some deductions/allowances will have to be verified before they are allowed.

Annual income is the anticipated total income from all sources received from the family head of household, spouse, and each additional member of the family 18 years of age or older. Once Adjusted income is determined then your rent is set at: 30 percent of the monthly adjusted income; 10 percent of monthly income; or minimum rent of $50.00; whichever is the highest.

WAITING LISTS and APPLICATION INTAKE: Since the demand for housing exceeds the available housing units, applicants are placed on waiting lists by bedroom size. To get on the waiting list you must submit an application. Currently, application intake is conducted on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Fridays of every Month from 8 am to 11 am.

Applicants are selected as they move up to the top of their respective waiting list. Applicants must be ready to lease when their opportunity to get a housing unit comes up – This means you must have “funds in hand” to pay 1st month’s rent and a security deposit.

CLOSING REMARKS: Just being “poor” or low income does not automatically get the family into a rental unit. It is a process – you have to complete the paperwork – pass required background checks – show up for appointments – be ready to pay when you lease-up - You have to do your part, otherwise we can’t help you.

AMBÉ, N.M. – U.S. Senators Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., Susan Collins, R-ME, and Ben Cardin, D-Md., introduced the Oral Health Literacy and Awareness Act to promote health care services and improve health outcomes among underserved communities.

Studies have shown oral health related illnesses have resulted in 6.1 million days of bed disability, 12.7 million days of restricted activity, and 20.5 million lost workdays each year, significantly impacting children, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations.

Tooth decay is the most common chronic illness among school-age youth, affecting roughly one in four children, and nearly half of those aged 30 or older show signs of gum disease, which if left untreated

also create a five-year oral health literacy campaign to set Americans up for a lifetime of wellness and create a program to ensure children develop and maintain healthy habits into adulthood.

“In New Mexico and across the country, too many suffer from a lack of oral health knowledge which can lead to negative health outcomes overall. Increasing oral health literacy and education will help protect our loved ones from these oral-related illnesses that are entirely preventable by empowering them with accurate information to protect their health,” Luján said.

He said that’s why he is a part of the legislation.

“That’s why I joined with my colleagues to introduce legislation to develop and implement outreach strategies that promote oral health in communities where resources are needed the most,” Luján said.

“This legislation also creates separate educational programs that will instill good dental practices for children and adults, ensuring they are set up for a long lifetime with healthy dental habits and ultimately lower costs for families.”

Collins pointed out how dental health can lead ot overall health.

“Proper oral hygiene is not only key to promoting dental health, but it can also contribute to overall health as well.

The Oral Health Literacy and Awareness Act of 2022 would identify strategies to increase dental services in rural and underserved communities,”

Collins said. “By improving education regarding dental care, this bipartisan bill would help to build a lifetime of healthy habits and avoid more costly interventions down the road.”

“Oral health is a vital component of our overall health a nd well-being. The Ora l Health Literacy and Awareness Act works to increase awareness of the importance of oral health through the development of oral health literacy campaigns, particularly in r ura l a nd underser ved communities,” Cardin said.

“Promoting the importance of oral health is critical to combating health disparities along with increasing access to a ffordable ora l hea lth care. I am proud to continue working with my colleagues to expand awareness of and access to oral health care to all Americans.”

Gerlad J. Botko, DMD, MAGD, the president of the Academy of General Dentristy, applauded the legislation.

“The Academy of General Dentistry applauds Senators Ben Ray Luján, Susan Collins, and Ben Cardin for introducing the Oral Health Literacy and Awareness Act of 2022.

This legislation is critical to improving the health of our communities and supporting all populations impacted by oral disease including children, the elderly, and other v u l ner a ble popu l a t ion s ,” Botko said. “AGD is proud to support and advocate for policies that improve oral health literacy and education.”

Navajo Nation moves forward with detox centers Staff Reports

INDOW ROCK, Ariz.

– The Navajo Nation Fiscal Recovery Fund Office and the Office of Management and Budget have notified the Navajo Nation Division of Behavioral and Mental Health Services that funding through the American Rescue Plan Act is now available for the development of detox and residential treatment/rehabilitation centers to provide support for members of the Navajo Nation who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Currently, the Division of Behavioral and Mental Health Ser vices administers nine outpatient treatment centers in Chinle, Ariz., Dilkon, Ariz., Fort Defiance, Ariz., Kaibeto, Ariz., Kayenta, Ariz., Newlands, Ariz., Red Mesa, Ariz., Tuba Cit y, A r i z ., Crow npoi nt , Gallup, and Shiprock, Ariz.

There is only one residential treatment center located in Shiprock. Approximately $19 million is allocated to develop the centers in Shiprock, Chinle, Kayenta, and Tuba City, and transitional housing facilities in Fort Defiance and Kayenta.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of many people around the world and here on the Navajo Nation. With the funding that the Navajo Nation received through the American Rescue Plan Act, Navajo Department of Health Executive Director Dr. Jill Jim prioritized the development of transitional housing and detox centers that will be able to help our people who are struggling with addiction INDIAN COUNTRY

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez a nd menta l hea lth issues while keeping them closer to home. The plan and funding are in place and we will soon have these centers within our communities,” Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said.

Nez also commended the Division of Behavioral and Mental Health Services for using its limited resources to expand its residential and outpatient treatment services and establish detox programs, which includes traditional

healing. Many of the people who are in need of residential treatment services are referred to facilities off the Navajo Nation. Nez said the goal is to provide treatment services within Navajo communities.

“It takes a united effort and many partnerships to build upon what our past leaders have done for our communities to help our people. We have outpatient services available right now and one residential center, but our vision is to expand those services to ensure that more of our people are able to heal here at home,” Nez said.

Nez acknowledged how hard it can be to overcome addiction, because he himself has experienced it.

“I know fi rsthand the hardships and challenges of overcoming alcohol addiction.

Overcoming addiction is a process that requires continuous support, encouragement, and patience. Through prayer and

the support of others, I now live a life based on sobriety

and faith. If I can do it, I know others can,” Nez said.

Once the new facility is ready, the police department and municipal court will move in and the existing facility will be bulldozed. The space will be used for more parking, the new impound lot, and a K-9 space.

In a previous interview with the Sun, Boyd said he is looking

forward to improving the work environment for his officers.

“When you have adequate and useful workspaces, it really helps our officers and detectives,” Boyd said. “We’re literally moving into a brand-new building instead of a dilapidated facility. That’s what we’re looking forward to, improving the overall work environment for our office. It’ll be great for morale.

‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ is one of the best movies of the year

By Glenn Kay For the Sun RATING:  OUT OF  RUNNING TIME: 114 MINUTES This motion picture from Fox Searchlight opened in Los Angeles and New York on Oct. 14, and is expanding week by week into more markets.

“The Banshees of Inisherin” is a very unusual fi lm set in the early 1920s on an island off the coast of Ireland. At one point fairly early in the tale, one of the central characters stares off into the distance, watching soldiers fight in a civil war taking place on the mainland.

He wonders aloud how and why his countrymen would possibly want to hurt each other. Unfortunately, a bizarre experience in his own life suddenly begins to reveal just how quickly relationships can sour.

The latest fi lm from writer/ director Martin McDonagh (“In Bruges,” “Seven Psychopaths,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) is a brilliantly written feature that manages to effortlessly shift from an amusing black comedy to something tragic and melancholy.

Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) is a simple farmer and nice guy who lives modestly with his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon). Each day, he enjoys going for a drink at the village bar and spending time with his friend Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson). That is, until Colm COMMUNITY

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson play two friends at odds with one another in “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Photo Credit: Fox Searchlight tells him point blank that their friendship is over and that he doesn’t want to ever speak with him again.

A baffled Pádraic pushes for answers, infuriating Colm so much that a seemingly fanatical ultimatum is delivered. As each day passes, the two men become further entrenched and unwilling to compromise in getting what they want. Not only does their confl ict make their own lives difficult, but it also affects those around them.

The tone is very low-key early on and as mentioned, it’s very funny as Pádraic pesters his pal and tries to get to the bottom of what is going on. Of course, others in the bar and around town also have their opinions and advice, leading to plenty of witty banter.

This movie is largely reliant on its stars and the conversation-heavy screenplay.

Thankfully, everyone delivers in spades. Both Gleeson and Farrell make powerful impressions in their lead roles.

For this reviewer, Farrell’s work is fantastic as a meek farmer who slowly becomes bolder and eventually vengeful.

Gleeson also has a lot to work with as his exasperated character becomes fervently determined to exorcise Pádraic from his life.

While the barbs come fast and furious, the script and cast perfectly and subtly manage to smoothly transition into more serious material. Both of these leads are deeply flawed and the movie deals with personal issues like loneliness, as well as feelings of a unique kind

of unreclaimable loss. Along the way, Pádraic and Colm are both offered solutions or compromises to their situation, but are so determined to win the struggle that they make things worse for themselves in the process.

There’s a feeling of impending doom and irreparable damage that is hard to ignore in the final act. This is another reason to complement the leads, who are all the more impressive for acting out in extreme ways, yet somehow making their concerns relatable enough to keep viewers watching.

And props should also go to Kerry Condon as Pádraic’s level-headed sister who tries to ser ve as a mediator, as well as Barry Keoghan as a troubled young man with a tragic history living a sad life.

Additionally, the photography is striking, with the island locations making a stunning backdrop.

And despite the fact that most of the film consists of little more than people talking to one another, the editing is equally skilled. When characters do act out, it feels violent, brutal and disturbing to witness. This is a direct result of the way the movie has been cut.

If you’re comfortable with thick accents, a story more interested in discussions than action and themes which may be open to some interpretation, this fi lm is a gem. In fact, “The Banshees of Inisherin” is one of the year’s best movies. It’s a pitch-black comedy with a lot going on beneath the surface and stands as a distinctive and thought-provoking mediation on the toll of unnecessary confl icts and how personal relationships can crumble with the greatest of ease.

Blu-ray/DVD Roundup for Nov. 4, 2022

By Glenn Kay For the Sun

W

elcome to another edition of highlights arriving on Blu-ray and DVD. There are fewer discs coming your way, but there is a major release arriving that is sure to appeal to the masses. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week or need to stay indoors, be sure to give at least one of these titles a try!

BIG NEW RELEASES!

HO N K F O R J E SUS .

SAVE YOUR SOUL.: This satirical comedy deals with a husba nd-a nd-w i fe tea m who run a Southern Baptist megachurch. When a scandal

s h u t s d ow n their house of wor sh ip and the congregation disappea rs, the pair scheme to fi nd new ways to draw in followers. They use outrageous methods to try and draw in new members in an attempt to make a comeback from near oblivion.

Cr it ics genera l ly l iked this effort. About one-quarter of reviewers complained that the screenplay wasn’t as razor-sharp as it needed to be and the overall effect was underwhelming. Regardless, the consensus was that the two leads were exceptionally funny and that the story

expertly took down organized religion and some of its hypocritical elements.

The movie stars Regina H a l l, St erl i ng K . Brow n, Austin Crute, Conphidance, Devere Rogers and Nicole Beharie.

TOP GUN: MAVERICK: The big release of the week is this blockbuster sequel to “Top Gun,” which wa s a ma ssive hit back in 1986.

Some 35 years after the original, Maverick is still flying, pushing boundaries and irritating superiors as a test pilot. After getting himself in trouble once again,

he is asked to coach a new group of young recruits for a dangerous mission in a far-off country. He agrees, but fi nds it a challenge when one of the newbies turns out to be the son of his best friend who died in the original fi lm.

Cr it ics genera l ly were impressed by this follow-up. A very small number suggested that it felt like the very same mov ie as the original and pandered to fans instead of updating the concept a nd themes. Everyone else loved the aerial photography, appreciated seeing the lead character again and called it summer fun that would appeal to most viewers.

It stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, John Hamm, Glen Powell, Ed Harris and Val Kilmer.

Looking for a cla ssic instead? Well, I wou ld n’t think that the new Cinedigm Blu-ray set “ Sh a rk n a do!

The Complete Collection” qualities, but it does present all six of the intentionally cheesy madefor-cable Sharknado! titles in one package. As you might already imagine, the story pits a group of protagonists against a tornado containing hungry sharks.

These f licks were made between 2013 and 2018 and should appeal to those who enjoy that kind of stuff. One imagines that a ny ex tra s included on original releases will also be available in this edition.

A c t i o n movie enthusiasts may be happy to see that Paramount is releasing a 35th A n n iver s a r y Edition of “The Running Man” (1987) with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a man forced to compete in a deadly game show. But they may also be disappointed to learn that this is a 4K Ultra HD-only edition that doesn’t have a Blu-ray, but does include the movie with the best possible picture quality.

Amazon is releasing an Exclusive 40 th Anniversar y L i m i t e d E d i t i o n Gi f t S e t of U n i v e r s a l ’s “ E .T. : T h e E x t r a Ter re st r ia l” (19 8 2). I n addition to the film on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray all previously released bonuses, there is 45-minutes of new material here. You will also get a lunch box, thermos, booklet and certificate of authenticity stating that you have the swankiest, most elaborate box set of this release ever created.

YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS! Here are some titles that may appeal to children.

WEEKLY POLICE ACTIVITY REPORTS | FROM PAGE 8 Salazar told her to stop.

Other deputies arrived and helped get Vigil in handcuffs.

Vigil was charged with seven counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for weaving through the construction zone, one count of aggravated fleeing, one count of reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident. Her preliminary examination is scheduled for Nov. 9.

TWO CARTS Gallup, Oct. 25 A woman tried to get away with shoplifting from a Walmart by using two carts.

On Oct. 25, around 11:15 pm, Gallup Police Officer Ryan Boucher was dispatched to the Walmart at 1650 W. Maloney Ave. when a woman named Vanessa Crosby was caught shoplifting.

When Boucher arrived at the store, he met with the store manager, who said he saw Crosby, 32, and a young girl bagging some items while they were shopping.

While he watched the security cameras, the manager reportedly saw Crosby place a full cart

against a wall close to the exit.

She then paid for separate items, but began to leave the store with both carts. Crosby was pushing the cart of unpaid items and the young girl was pushing the cart with paid items.

When the manager confronted Crosby, she gave him a receipt for the items in the cart, and while some of the items did match the items in her cart, the manager said he noticed a few items did not match. He also noticed that the receipt Crosby had given him was dated Oct 22.

Crosby eventually admitted she didn’t pay for the items. In total, Crosby stole a about $514.

Crosby was arrested for shoplifting. On Oct. 27 her case was dismissed without prejudice.

In 2019 The New Mexico Legislature passed House Bill 2, which conslidated the local Gross Receipts Taxes (GRT's) to improve accountability and distribution of the taxes collected.

This change also allows local governments (cities and counties) to use the GRT's for more general purposes in areas the local government officials feel would benefit the citizens of McKinley County. This is only a realignment and consolidation of the local GRT Ordinances and DOES NOT raise or increase the GRT's. NO TAX INCREASES!

A fresh look at whole life insurance ‘Layin’ it on the line’

By Lawrence Castillo Guest Columnist

W

hole life has a simple objective, to ensure your “whole” life, in other words, it will pay the benefits anytime during your whole life, regardless of how long you live. All you need to do is pay the premium.

Life insurance is a contract between an insured person (the policyholder) and the insurer. The premium pays for guaranteed benefits in case of death, but there are other features that can provide additional protection as well.

In exchange for fi xed premiums, whole-life policies offer life insurance protection and tax deferral on growth by accumulating cash value with competitive interest rates.

In exchange for fi xed premiums, an insurance company promises to pay a set benefit when the policyholder dies but also offers additional benefits as well. Whole life

insurance policies can build up cash value, effectively a cash reser ve that pays a modest rate of return, and the growth is tax-deferred.

Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

Most whole life insurance policies allow policyholders to borrow a portion of their policy’s cash value. Access to the cash value can allow you to pay for things like college expenses, a home down payment, or any other needs you may have.

W hen the policyholder dies, his or her beneficiaries receive the benefi t from the policy. Depending on how the policy is structured, benefits are usually not taxable.

Whether whole life insurance is the best choice for you may depend on a variety of factors, including your goals or circumstances.

Whole life insurance can be an excellent investment for those who want to be protected fi nancially after death.

The policies promise a fi xed benefit but also offer additional benefi ts such as cash value - which can build up and provide returns tax-deferred in order of security a ga i n st per son nel los se s caused by unforeseen events like accidents or illnesses, a nd gua ra ntees ba sed on claims-paying ability from issuing companies.

T he Feder a l Deposit Insurance Corporation does not insure life insurance. It is not insured by any federal government agency, bank, or savings association. Each state’s Department of Insurance regulates life insurance.
