Greetings All~ We now have a community garden space! Miguel Angel has generously donated use of his property for individual plots. (Taos and Church Street, 1 block north of Hot Springs) Leonard Ludi has offered to prepare the soil on Tuesday morning at 10 am as well as serving as the Local Food Matters Adviser and main speaker at Sunday's LFM meeting. Leonard has been a successful local grower for a number of years amassing tremendous skills in water conservation, growing techniques, crop irrigation...and so much more! The Local Food Matters Meeting will be this Sunday, June 22, 2008 at 6pm at the new Community Garden site!~ Bob has been blessed with a variety of locally adapted seeds and will be sharing with those that attend Sunday's meeting. We hope you will make every effort to attend, we will be addressing the needs, questions and overall gardening topics of ALL local gardeners. If you have any questions at all feel free to email or call, or I may be calling you :) Peace, Julie 505-421-8936 (after 8pm) Bob 505-454-9123
I have a bag of Pedigree Puppy food (15 lbs ?) to donate to anyone that is fostering or caring for one of our homeless dogs. I picked it up from Santa Fe Free Cycle for this purpose. Please let me know if you can use it, it's in my car and ready to go to the first taker. Peace, Julie 575-421-8936 (after 8pm) cell: 505-515-5365
I'll second that. College students throw cats out when they go home for the summer. I call them "college cats". One moved in with us so we had it neutered and gave it all its shots. Its a very friendly cat about 9 months old. If you want it, or know of some one who wants a young cat just give us a call, 454-8275. Milt Deemer On Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:49:37 -0600, "Patricia A.

This was in today's online Las Vegas Daily Optic. Please, if you are so led to give one of these dogs or cats a home, they need help ASAP. Just call the numbers mentioned in the article. Thank you. pat leahan
Well there's little certain in this life, but one thing I'm sure of is that we humans are a goofy bunch, there's just no way around it. I would not personally trust any human in a position of authority, we're all capable of trashing our own affairs and need little help. I still apologize, for breaking my own rule and failing to politely ignore politics and politicians, as I would attempt to do if a guest's dog pooped on my rug. Pretty apt analogy, I'm afraid. We can't get rid of politicians, they have a right to exist also... but if we could just find a nice little island somewhere...
Plausibility is in the eye of the beholder - and sometimes in the eye of the koolaid drinker. I have heard/read Shendo's spin, and spin is what it is. He was queer-baiting Lujan and that's all it ever was. Tortured arguments about how it was in the interests of young LGBTs everywhere are disgustingly dishonest - we know we live in a homophobic society, and attempting to out one's opponent in the midst of a political race is not progressive, but rather homophobic, opportunistic or both.

One suggestion ... if you know anyone who ran for office who is not on this forum, extend them a personal invitation. Unlike anonymous forums that scare the heck out of politicians, our real name format seems to encourage more useful and effective discussion of local issues. In most of our communities most elected officials monitor the forums and ~20% will post when it makes political sense at least once a year. Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org
How nice to see absent from this list the name of the 'man' doing the recent electoral gay-baiting, what a thought to think that perhaps we as a culture are beginning to tire of racism, sexism, gender-ism and all the other petty, reality-obscuring -isms that our insecurities have always seemed to need in the past. Hurray for being who we are!
KFUN radio just announced some of the unofficial winners of yesterday's election: Ben Ray Lujan (District 3 Rep.) Thomas Garcia (State Rep.) Richard Vigil (State Rep) Jerome Block (PRC) Matt Sandoval (District Judge) Melanie Rivera (San Miguel County Clerk) pat leahan
I am listening to KFUN radio (Joseph and Loretta Baca) announce the unofficial election results for San Miguel County. As of 10:00 PM, all precincts have reported and absentee ballots have been counted. So I wrote down the numbers of some of the races as they were being announced. Please remember these results are UNOFFICIAL, include only some races, and are for San Miguel County ONLY (for example, Mora County results will be announced tomorrow, and some of these races need totals from the surrounding counties before the results are official). pat leahan
The Animal Support Center will be closing at the end of June 2008. We have many cats that need to be adopted. Some of the cats will make great pets for loving families. We also have feral cats that would be able to live in a safe and weather appropriate environment. All of the cats have been altered and vacinated and will cost $65 each to adopt. If you or anyone you know would like to adopt a cat please call Linzy Behrs @ 425-3450 to make an appointment.
From Muina, donnachamberlain, you can email to these 2 different
addresses...thanks
your letters would have to be
immediate, at least!!

*Spring Song * *by Edna St Vincent Millay* I know why the yellow forsythia Holds its breath and will not bloom, And the robin thrusts his beak in his wing. Want me to tell you? Think you can bear it? Cover your eyes with your hand and hear it. You know how cold the days are still? And everybody saying how late the Spring is? Well -- cover your eyes with your hand -- the thing is, There isn't going to be any Spring. *No parking here! No parking here! They said to Spring: No parking here!* Spring came on as she always does, Laid her hand on the yellow forsythia,-- Little boys turned in their sleep and smiled, Dreaming of marbles, dreaming of agates; Little girls leapt from their bed to see Spring come by with her painted wagons, Coloured wagons creaking with wonder-- Laid her hand on the robin's throat; When up comes you-know-who, my dear, You-know-who in a fine blue coat, And says to Spring: No parking here! *No parking here! No parking here! Move on! Move on! No parking here!* Come walk with me in the city gardens. (Better keep an eye out for you-know-who) Did you ever see such a sickly showing?-- Middle of June, and nothing growing; The gardeners peer and scratch their heads And drop their sweat on the tulip-beds, But not a blade thrusts through. *Come, move on! Don't you know how to walk? No parking here! And no back-talk!* Oh, well, -- hell, it's all for the best. She certainly made a lot of clutter, Dropping petals under the trees, Taking your mind off your bread and butter. Anyhow, it's nothing to me. I can remember, and so can you. (Though we'd better watch out for you-know-who, When we sit around remembering Spring). We shall hardly notice in a year or two. You can get accustomed to anything.
*I would not say that I "recanted" that paragraph, since I believe that there is ample evidence that the information contained therein is accurate. I agreed to remove the paragraph because the intent of the letter was to call Benny Shendo to task for his political stunt and not to embarrass the Las Vegas Peace & Justice Center. I would still like to hear your response, Pat, and your delineation of the "significant inaccuracies" and incorrect facts you claim.* On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 1:48 PM, Patricia A.
