EARTH DAY | FROM PAGE 17 trash on it. This brought on a quiet moment. “The earth is sad when there is litter on it, isn’t it?” she asked the audience. “We want the earth to be happy, we want the birds to sing, for the animals to be happy and that makes us happy, doesn’t it. We must do our part and not litter so that we can enjoy what the earth gives back. The earth is always responding when we take off our shoes and walk on the grass, it gives us a good feeling when we respond positively.” The children then crafted paper earth figures and covered them with green paper for trees and other decorations. They also painted little earth medallions.

Anne Price, youth services manager for The Children’s Br a nch, s a id she a sked McAllister-Flack to host the event because of her enthusiasm and how well she interacts with kids. Price said she would be good to tell the children what Earth Day is all about in her own unique way. “Ellen is our guest storyteller today, she is local to Gallup and we’ve had her here before,” she said. “I like the way she tells stories, she’s a charismatic storyteller—the way she introduces the stories, instruments, she’s a lot of fun. Jennifer Calderaz of Gallup comes to the library weekly with her children, 7-year-old Chloe and 5-year-old Paul, to see what programs are offered on the weekends. She said visiting the library is a nice way to get out of
the house and lure the kids away from the television. “We just happened to come at the perfect time. We usually know about other events on their calendar but today was totally just luck,” Calderaz said of the Earth Day event. “I like the little keepsakes they’re doing today, it’s cute and they’re entertained. Plus, it’s better they’re not at home fighting over who gets to watch what on TV.” Chloe Calderaz enjoyed making crafts while learning about Earth Day. “I like doing the painting on the little medallion that looked like earth,” she said.

On Oct. 31, 2017, Werito pleaded guilty to a felony charging him with assaulting a federal officer. In entering the guilty plea, Werito admitted
that on Aug. 16, 2016, he drove a vehicle toward a Deputy U.S. Marshal engaged in the performance of his official duties. This case was investigated by the Farmington office of the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Spindle prosecuted the case.
