A dog’s flight ONE DOG TAKES A JOURNEY ON AN AIRPLANE TO FIND HIS FOREVER HOME

By Molly Ann Howell Sun Correspondent

T

he U.S. is home to about 1.3 million stray dogs, according to endpethomelessness.com. But, thanks to three animal rescues covering Gallup, Arizona, and Utah, one little blind and dead puppy is getting a second chance at life.

Nanuk, who rescuers call “floofy” as a term of endearment, took to the skies Nov. 27. This fresh start takes him one step closer to his forever home.

The puppy’s journey started on Veterans Day, when a Good Samaritan found him weak and sickly, and took him to the vet.

After Nanuk spent a couple of days at Airport Animal Clinic in Milan for treatment of dehydration and starvation, he was whisked off to his fi rst foster home.

Babette Herrmann, the founder of Four Corners Pet Alliance, named the puppy Nanuk, which translates to “polar bear” in the Eskaleut language. Nanuk is a white, fluffy husky-mix with mesmerizing baby blue eyes.

“His mellow vibes makes him an excellent cuddler,” she quipped.

days in foster care. He recoiled when his foster tried to touch

him, and pooped out pebbles and vomited up pieces of fabric and plastic tubing that he likely consumed while wandering dangerously close to State Highway 602, just south of Gallup.

But, he came around and turned into a cuddly puppy dog. “ P u p p i e s l i ke N a n u k inspire me to be a better person,” Herrmann said. “People should never turn a blind eye on an animal in need. If you can’t secure them, then leave them a snack and fresh water.

Report the stray to the shelter or a rescue. Or better yet, open up your bathroom or laundry

room to a pup in need.”

Herrmann, also the publisher of the Sun, started rescuing in 2010, but found herself struggling to pay for foster dogs’ vet care and food.

So, she launched Four Corners Pet Alliance in 2015, a 501c3, to raise funds for the animals.

The president of the rescue, Jo Bjorholm, said rescue is crucial to saving countless lives on the Navajo Nation and surrounding communities, and it’s a cause that’s close to her heart.

“I do what I do because the idea of a puppy being abandoned and dying just tears my heart out,” Bjorholm said. “I do what I do because they’re so grateful for what you do.

The puppy loves alone will get me through a day. Their appreciation, their love, it’s unconditional.”

After nearly two weeks with Herrmann, it was time for Nanuk’s fl ight. He was put into a Cessna Hawk at Gallup Municipal Airport with a few people snapping pics like the puppy paparazzi.

included. From there, he was transported by vehicle to his new foster home with Rescue Rovers in Salt Lake City.

Justyne Moore, who runs Operation Kind Heart, a transportation service that takes stray animals to no-kill shelters and rescues across the southwest, coordinated the fl ight.

In an interview with the Sun, Moore explained that many moving parts have to work together for the transportation of a dog.

“There’s a lot of pieces and parts that go into this transportation. It can be overwhelming at times because you’re trying to get this piece of the puzzle connected with this piece of the puzzle, and if this person falls out of the puzzle, then you’ve got to figure out another plan,” Moore said.

To get Nanuk to his new foster in a timely fashion, Moore reached out to Erdman. He

volunteers for Pilots n’ Paws, a nonprofit organization that connects volunteer pilots with shelters and rescues that need animals transported via air for a variety of reasons.

Erdman grew up pretending to fly in his backyard. His childhood dream became a reality when he earned his pilot license in 2019, at 55 years old.

He has a passion for helping animals and people alike and said that’s part of the reason he fl ies.

“If I fly, it’s almost always because there’s some sort of mission like that,” Erdman said. “I’m not the sort of person who just fl ies to an airport to get a hamburger, which some guys do.”

Along with flying animals to shelters, Erdman also fl ies people who need medical assistance. He once helped a woman who had Stage Four cancer by f lying her to a surgery

appointment. He said that flying humans is much more stressful than flying animals, especially if they’re heading into a difficult situation.

Erdman said Nanuk’s fl ight went well, and that he was a well-behaved pup the entire trip. This air transport marked Erdman’s 194th fl ight.

Meanwhile, Nanuk’s foster is training him with commands suited for his special needs. All of this work is done with the intended purpose of finding the handsome pup his forever home.

“In this case, Nanuk’s gonna need some training,” Moore said. “With him being so young … they’ll be able to get him to respond to someone and be set up for success, and be able to get into an adoptive home instead of being a dog that no

Aldridge about two men who fall in love and then have to deal with complications after one of them falls ill with AIDS. Empire of Light from Searchlight Pictures will be opening in limited markets the same week, hoping to expand to areas like Gallup over the coming weeks. It’s a drama from director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall, 1917 ). The stor y involves a British cinema manager struggling with mental health issues. She and a new employee become friends and use the movies to try and inspire each other through tough times. It stars Olivia Colman, Michael Ward and Colin Firth.

On Dec. 16, a sequel to one of the all-time biggest box office hits fi nally reaches cinemas. It took 13 years to make, but Avatar: The Way of Water picks up with the same characters after the events of the fi rst fi lm. A familiar enemy returns to Pandora and threatens lead Jake Scully and his family, who now live near a fantastical ocean. Like the original,

this fi lm will be available to view in 3-D. The following week gets off to an early start. On Dec. 21, Universal Pictures will release Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, another in this line of animated family fi lms.

In this chapter, the title character discovers that he has used up all but one of his nine lives. He heads off to fi nd a mythical treasure that can restore his ability to cheat death. A ntonio Ba nderas, Salma Hayek, Florence Pugh, John Mulaney, Ray Winstone, Olivia Colman and Da’Vine Joy Randolph provide voices for the feature.

Supporting the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project REP. LEGER FERNÁNDEZ, SENATOR LUJÁN INTRODUCE BILL TO FUND PROJECT Staff Reports

W

ASHINGTON D.C. – The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project is one step closer to becoming a reality.

Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M., introduced a bill on Nov. 30. The bill amends the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project’s authorization to ensure it has the resources it needs to reach completion and to lower costs for the communities it serves. Senator Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., introduced the legislation in the Senate.

The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project was first authorized as part of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, which settled the Navajo Nation’s water rights in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and funded the design and construction of the waterline to reach an estimated 250,000 people by the year 2040. Upon completion, the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project will provide long-term, reliable water supply from the San Juan River to the eastern Navajo Nation, the southwestern portion of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and Gallup.

Leger Fernández and Luján secured $67.3 million for the project in last year’s funding bill and another $123 million through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. However, unforeseen circumstances require new legislation authorizing additional time and resources to complete the project and for its long-term, sustainable operations and maintenance.

“The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project provides water infrastructure across Northwest New Mexico, including to the NEWS

Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M. File Photo Navajo Nation, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and the City of Gallup,” Leger Fernández said. “This bill updates the law to extend the project timeline, authorize additional project funding, and reduce the cost burden on local governments and communities.”

She also commented on how important clean water.

“This bill will get us a step closer to delivering clean, reliable water to these communities,” Leger Fernández said. “We know that water is life and New Mexicans deserve clean running water wherever they live and do business.”

Rep. Melanie Stransbury, D-N.M., showed her support for the bill.

“Water is life and essential to our communities. For years, families living on the Navajo Nation and beyond have waited for water. We have a moral responsibility to ensure all of our communities have access to water and I am grateful for the extensive collaboration between the Navajo Nation, federal, state, local, and Tribal stakeholders in ensuring the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project is completed,”

Senator Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M. File Photo Stansbury said. “I am proud to join Representative Leger Fernández and Senator Ben Ray Luján in introducing this critical legislation and supporting the implementation

of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to ensure every community has access to clean, safe drinking water.”

The amending legislation makes several important changes: • Increases the project funding authorization to match updated construction costs.

• Extends the project timeline beyond 2024 to 2029 to provide additional time for completion.

• Waives operations and maintenance costs for the Jicarilla Apache Nation and City of Gallup for 10 years, and guarantees the waiver of operations and maintenance costs for

the Navajo Nation for 15 years.

• Reasonably caps the construction repayment costs for the City of Gallup.

• Allows the project to expand its service area to reach Navajo communities without running water.

• Authorizes funding for conjunctive use wells for the City of Gallup to keep quality water flowing to residents while project construction is completed.

The Navajo Nation, Jicarilla Apache Nation, State of New Mexico, City of Gallup, and McKinley County support the legislation.

Miyamura’s award was the fi rst Medal of Honor to be classified Top Secret. As Brigadier Genera l Ra lph Osbor ne explained to Miyamura and a group of reporters upon notifying them of his medal, “If the Reds knew what he had done to a good number of their soldiers just before he was taken prisoner, they might have taken revenge on this young man. He might not have come back.”

Miyamura was held for 28 months. Following his release on Aug. 20, 1953, he wa s informed that he had been awarded the Medal of Honor and promoted to sergeant. He was repatriated to the United States and honorably discharged from the military shortly thereafter. His medal was presented to him by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in October 1953 at the White House.

A book was written about Miyamura and Annello’s experience, “Forged in Fire: The Saga of Hershey & Joe,” which was published in 2012. The book details the horrors of the Korean War while also showing how one beautiful friendship was formed. It can be purchased online through Amazon or the Japanese American National Mu seum’s website.

COMMUNITY IMPACT Many people in Gallup loved and admired Miyamura and all that he stood for.

Dave Cuel l a r, he a d of Veterans Helping Veterans, ex pla i ned why M iya mu r a inspired himself and the Gallup community.

“He’s inspirational because he was the recipient of the

Congressional Medal off Honor, Hon onor o, but more than that it wa was a s th tthe he way he conducted himself elf lf iin n th the he neighborhood. I don’t know no ow w how how w to explain it, he was just sstt a vvery ery er ry nice guy,” Cuellar said.

Jessica Rodriguez, principal riinc ncip ipal paall of the Gallup-McKinley C County ount ou ntt y n School that bears Miyamura’s am mu u ra r a’ss name, agreed with Cueller el le el ler er by y saying that Miyamura was aass h humu um ble, kind, and caring. She Sh he e said said aiid that one of the goals that the Hiroshi Miyamura High School holds dear is living up to what Miyamura stood for.

“He gave us the legacy that we strive to live up to through the ideals that his life exemplified,” Rodriguez said. “We do our best to persevere, we do our best to have that resilient mindset, and as a school we are constantly looking for ways to ensure that whatever we do here goes out in a way that represents Mr. Miyamura in a way that he would be proud of.”

Rodriguez became principal at Hiroshi Miyamura High School in May 2021. She expressed her gratitude towards Miyamura for the kindness he showed her when she entered the role.

“To me, individually, he means a whole lot because I was unfortunately the last principal that got to have that conservation with him and be blessed by him to be running this school, which is amazing,” she said.

The high school holds a tradition where each graduating senior receives one of Miyamura’s Challenge Coins.

The Challenge Coins represent the pride and commitment that someone in the service showed.

Miyamura’s coin shows his face

on one side of the coin and the Medal of Honor on the other.

Before COVID, Miyamura used to give the medals out to each graduating senior during their graduation ceremony.

When Rodriguez became principal, she promised Miyamura that the school would make it a priority in their budget to keep the tradition going for years to come. She said that the coin tells students that “once they’re a Patriot, they’ll always be a Patriot.”

A LASTING LEGACY Rodriguez said she’s glad that her school is named after Miyamura.

“I think it was the right fit for our community. Him and his family are just amazing people; they’re just so generous, humble, and kind,” Rodriguez said.

“Everything that he represents was something that I think the district at the time - and now wholeheartedly believed.”

The high school is currently planning a special event to honor Miyamura and all that he achieved and gave back to his community. However, at press time, no date had been set for the event.

Salazar saw a red pickup truck parked on the north side of the road and two males standing outside. He turned off on exit 26 and drove to

the site where he found one of the males, later identified as Lee, trying to leave the scene with the vehicle keys. Lee was detained while officers arrived to assist.

Both ma les repor tedly appeared intoxicated, with the second male at the scene telling officers Lee had been driving and they both consumed unspecified amounts of alcohol prior to stopping.

The front passenger side tire on the vehicle allegedly came off while the vehicle was in motion, causing Lee to drive off the road. A search of the vehicle showed several open containers of Bud Light and 99

Salazar asked if Lee would perform the Standard Field Sobriety Tests, but Lee became argumentative and did not cooperate w it h Sa la za r’s request. Lee was placed under arrest after refusing the tests.

The report also stated there was no evidence at the scene of the vehicle being properly registered or insured, and Lee’s license was invalid and suspended.

The passenger was transported to Detox while Lee was transported to McKinley County Sheriff’s Office for the breath tests, where he posted two samples of .21. He was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (fourth), suspended drivers license, improper display of registration plates, open container, leaving the scene of an accident, and no proof of insurance.

Although Moore doesn’t know exactly what happened to Nanuk, and why he is blind and deaf, she has a disturbing theory. Nanuk is a “double merle,” which results when two merle dogs breed.

Merle is a genetic pattern that can be in a dog’s coat.

collie breeds are often merle dogs.

Double merle can lead to a heightened chance of the dogs’ offspring being either blind or deaf. Moore said breeders often toss aside double merle dogs because of health problems.

“He was probably a castaway because whoever was breeding those dogs for big bucks doesn’t want someone to see that dog. That’s what breeders do with puppies who

are not ideal,” Moore said of Nanuk.

Of course, Nanuk isn’t the only dog that deserves a miracle.

Moore lives in Kanab and she picks up stray dogs from the Navajo Nation and fosters them until she fi nds a receiving rescue.

She explained that many of the Arizona rescues and shelters are saturated with dogs from the reservation, and that’s

part of the reason she has to reach out to folks in other states.

“On the Navajo reservation there are 250,000 strays,” Moore said. “Each of us are really trying to do our part with that insane amount of dogs that are on the reservation.”

Despite the sometimes grueling 14-hour drives it takes to transport a dog, Moore says it’s all worth it as long as she’s able to save a life.

“I do this to make a difference in one dog’s life. I’m making a difference one reservation dog at a time,” Moore said. “I love reservation dogs. I think they have a beautiful soul about them.”

What is cryptocurrency?

‘Layin’ it on the line’

By Lawrence Castillo Guest Columnist

O

nce relegated to the global financial system’s outermost fringes, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have entered the mainstream consciousness in a dramatic and disruptive fashion.

Many of us think of cryptocurrency as new. But the idea of creating a more open and accessible financial system with greater privacy and lower costs dates back to the 1980s.

Bitcoin was the fi rst viable cryptocurrency, although there had been several previous attempts at designing more private ways to perform fi nancial transactions.

Initially, Bitcoin enthusiasts were a select group of early adopters, mainly programmers and technologists. Computer programmer Hal Finney was the fi rst to download the original bitcoin software in 2009, receiving 10 bitcoins for his

trouble.

How does cryptocurrency work?

It would be best if you didn’t wind up in the weeds, so I will give only a brief overview of what makes cryptocurrencies tick.

Bitcoin, and alternative cryptocurrencies, are built with something known as blockchain technology.

Blockchain software is a decentralized, distributed, typically public database that records transactions across multiple computers. Concisely defi ned, a blockchain is a type of digital ledger made up of records known as “blocks.”

No one can retroactively alter blocks on the chain without changing all subsequent blocks.

Blockchain isn’t limited to fi nancial transactions, either.

It also serves as a real-time ledger of contracts and physical assets. Because it is open, anyone in the blockchain can see the details of each block.

When a block is stamped and

encrypted, the only person who can make changes is the person who “owns” that block.

Owners of blocks only gain access to them through a unique private key. The entire blockchain is updated and synced in real-time when a block is edited.

Banks and corporations are noticing blockchain.

Blockcha in tech nolog y could revolutionize the fi nancial world.

It cuts out intermediaries (middlemen), reduces costs, saves time, a nd prov ides greater fi nancial privacy.

Using blockchain reduces transaction complexity. For example, if you buy stock using blockchain, your transaction is settled in minutes, not hours. You don’t need someone else to process your stock purchase.

Also, even though there is no such thing as something that’s “hack-proof,” blockchain appears to be a lot more secure than anything else available today.

Currently, only about 0.5% of the world is using blockchain technology. However, it’s poised to go mainstream very soon. Big banks, Insurance and technology companies, and venture capitalists dedicate

billions of dollars and thousands of employee hours to blockchain projects each year.

Experts estimate that the banking sector alone could save as much as $12 billion annually by switching to the blockchain ledger.

Summing it up: Cr y ptocurrency, based on blockchain technology, has the power to drastically change how we do business and make global transactions faster and more seamless.

Cryptocurrency cannot be manipulated or controlled by a central bank like paper currency. It provides more security and privacy than our current system, and, in many ways, it is freer and more democratic.

As technology evolves, transactions on the blockchain will become more straightforward and more accessible to ordinary individuals.

If you are thinking about investing in cryptocurrency or if blockchain technology and cryptocurrency interest you, many excellent YouTube videos are available to give you more in-depth information about this incredible new fi nancial alternative. Websites also help you get a handle on the more technical aspects of the blockchain.

Good Luck.

Embracing unembraceable idea nouns ‘Grammar Guy’

By Curtis Honeycutt Guest Columnist

I

n elementary school, we learn that a noun is a “person, place or thing.” Rabbit. Cereal. Toilet. Especially toilet. Words like “toilet” make Mad Libs a hit with my kids when we take road trips.

However, at some point down the line, we learn that an “idea” is also a noun. I don’t know which governing English language body decided this or at what point it became part of the school curriculum, but I’ll bet it was met with the same backlash as Pluto being relegated to a lower-level planet.

Yes, ideas are nouns, and they’re my favorite types of nouns. These ideas were the ones the Founding Fathers often capitalized, and that the Bible extols: joy, honesty, freedom, loyalty, wisdom, truth and friendship. Sam the Eagle would be proud. Pride — there’s another one.

The above examples were all positive words (except “pride,” depending on context). What about some negative idea nouns? I’m all too familiar with disappointment, failure, misery, sadness and

Curtis Honeycutt u nderachievement. I f ind these negative idea nouns as real mood-lifters in the Mad Libs road trip game: It’s time for your summer failure; don’t forget to pack disappointment and plenty of misery in your suitcase!

You can’t have idea nouns w it hou t “- i s m s ,” wh ic h , again, are great Mad Libs head-scratchers: communism, antidisestablishmentarianism, totalitarianism, fascism, absolutism, materialism and even patriotism: It’s time for your summer fascism; don’t forget to pack communism and plenty of materialism in your suitcase!

Although idea nouns can change the trajectory of a Mad Libs game, they do share a

common characteristic: idea nouns aren’t concrete nouns.

Idea nouns are abstract nouns.

You can’t touch “peace,” but you can experience it. You can’t lick “sorrow,” but somehow you can still taste it. Pain and pleasure are both fleeting and impossible to capture in a jar.

And I’ve yet to see “faith” with my own eyes, but I suppose that’s kind of the point.

I like ideas. I’m an idea guy. I think our language and culture would be incredibly pointless without the abstract concepts we wrestle with in idea nouns.

Along with patience, perseverance and potential, we have to deal with anxiety, chaos and death. These are all idea nouns!

After a few drinks, philosophical Mad Libs would be hilarious. In this version, you wouldn’t change any of the subjects: T.V. shows, president for a day, the recipe for a perfect great clam chowder. Instead, you’d have to pepper in a constant flow of ideas, concepts and belief systems. Who wants to get a kick out of disappointment with me?

This movie has been restored in 4K for this release and the disc comes with a panel discussion, an oral history of the film and approximately nine short films from the director made prior to this effort.
