Summer is officially here! She came in with a bang that included: a full-moon summer solstice. And the southwestern heat wave continues to disrupt our desert bliss. Madame G recommends staying hydrated. You may want to stay inside during the day. But at night, head outside and take a look at that sky. On June 25, Pluto will...

Martin Link’s Heritage Canyon, An Outsider’s Vision, Part One

I moved to Gallup in 1978. Coming from the Northwest, I had hopes of scenic Southwest panoramas with mesas, canyons, and rock formations. On my drive across Arizona, I began to wonder where the scenery was. I was quite relieved and excited when I approached the spectacular cliffs of Lupton. Upon arrival in Gallup, my first impression was, “This place has tourist potential.” Thirty-eight years hasn’t changed my impression.

It was immediately obvious to me that our greatest tourist draw was located just east of town at Church Rock — however, easy access off the freeway was overlooked by planners. Like many outsiders of the Southwest, I was drawn to the spectacular cliffs...

The agent for exposure deaths resides with the feds

Gallup’s activist media continues to pound the drum, demanding the City of Gallup do something about the dozens of annual exposure deaths, yet we rarely hear of the conditions which bring about these tragedies, let alone the stark scarcity of personal responsibility.

Rather than homeless or vagrant, transients who risk their lives by leaving their homes and traveling long distances to escape the oppression and monotony of the reservation without transportation or a place to stay – all to experience the freedoms of Gallup — should be considered refugees.

In the face of a tragedy, it’s easy to forget that not all human beings are evil. There is good in our world when we look for it. Consider this sage advise from Mr. Rogers: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.’” Madame G suggests you do the same, look for the helpers or even better — be the helpers!

Mercury enters Gemini on June 12. Decisions will be made quickly this week, and they’ll be well thought out. This is the time to pick up new projects, gain knowledge, and set a new path for yourself. Madame G suggests turning on the theme from Rocky, “Gonna Fly Now,” and start training for your future.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ve got some rest and fun time coming up! Good for you. But, don’t forget to use your time wisely. It’s time to get the education and training you need. This will get you to the next level. Stop procrastinating and invest in yourself. You’re worth it. Even if you’re tired or sad, push through. Celebrate your small successes. You’ve got...
