News and FeaturesSANTA FE, New Mexico – Homeowners and renters in two additional New Mexico counties – Rio Arriba and San Juan – are now eligible to receive FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) grants to help them recover from the South Fork and Salt Fires and floods, which began June 17. Rio Arriba and San Juan counties join Lincoln and Otero counties, as well as the Mescalero Apache Reservation which were previously approved in June.
FEMA’s Individuals and Household Program assistance is intended to help jumpstart your recovery. Here are some examples of basic needs: § Other Needs Assistance may be provided to homeowners and renters for eligible uninsured property or items your insurance doesn’t cover, such as: Serious Needs Assistance for lifesaving and life-sustaining items, including water, food, first aid, prescriptions, infant formula, breastfeeding supplies, diapers, consumable medical supplies, durable medical equipment, personal hygiene items and fuel for transportation. Displacement Assistance for immediate housing needs to help New Mexicans who cannot return home right after the wildfires and flooding. Both Serious Needs Assistance (SNA) and Displacement Assistance require an inspection to confirm eligibility before funds are provided to applicants. Medical and dental expenses; funeral and burial costs; replacement of household furniture and appliances; specialized tools you must have for your job; a personal computing device, educational materials and moving, storage and other necessary expenses related to the wildfires and flooding. Personally owned, disaster-damaged cars and trucks in need of replacement or repairs. The purchase or rental expense of generators used at a primary residence to power medically required equipment necessary for an existing medical condition. Housing Assistance Available Rental Assistance FEMA may be able to provide rent for a temporary place to live while you are displaced. Rental assistance is intended to cover monthly rent, security deposit and cost of essential utilities such as electricity and water. Home Repair Assistance may be provided to homeowners to repair the structural parts of your home. This includes windows, doors, floors, walls, ceilings, cabinets, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system (HVAC), utilities (electrical, plumbing and gas systems) and entrance ways. FEMA may also reimburse for the actual cost to repair or replace your furnace, private well and septic system that was damaged or destroyed by the disaster. How to Apply for FEMA Disaster Assistance The first step for individuals and households to receive assistance is to apply to FEMA for federal assistance. There are no costs involved to apply for, or receive, FEMA assistance. There are four ways to apply: § Go online to disasterassistance.gov/ § Download the FEMA App for mobile devices at fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-products § Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service. § Visit a Disaster Recovery Center operated by the state of New Mexico and FEMA. For location and hours, visit fema.gov/drc For more information about FEMA’s Individual Assistance program, visit www.fema.gov/assistance/individual. The Chama River Plug is Removed and River Runs again
The Rio Chama is officially on its way back into its original channel as of Tuesday evening. Workers from the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation literally broke ground on Tuesday afternoon to let the waters flow into a mile of empty river bed in Medanales. Read More

This Summer, one of the things we did was drive to Seattle and pick up our grandson to go to Wyoming to look for fossils. Our grandson, Milo, likes wildlife. He loves nature, and he’s really good with it. He studies all kinds of animals; salamanders, fish, birds. He likes looking for them too. And just so you know, he’s 20, so, not a little kid.

Recently, nearby, an arroyo carried so much sand to the Chama River that it plugged and diverted the flow. This is the power of water in the desert—and I have no doubt this has been happening, in moments, for as long as there has been a river through this valley. Read More

Some Market Analysts think so. The reason is one of the most reliable predictors of a stock market decline, which has been an “Inverted Yield Curve”. This is a condition in the bond market where interest rates on short term bonds are higher than interest rates on long term bonds. Normally, the opposite is true. Why should we care? Well, it’s an abnormal condition; and it has led to a Recession in the economy 6 times since 1970. In fact, it’s never not led to a Recession in that time period. Read More
I have a tiny desktop computer I use to write these articles on. I use my smartphone for everything else. I do use a Kindle to read, but not often. So, the question is, do I really need my computer? For me, I’d say no. I used Carol’s iPad to write articles while we were travelling. That screen was comfortable enough for me, and she has a keyboard that it fits in, so it was all quite comfy.

For the Birds and other Wildlife SightingsThis week Terry Price shared this picture of the Bullock's Oriole. Bullock's Orioles (Icterus bullockii) are a common songbird in New Mexico that are a sign of spring. They are often seen in riparian woodlands, especially in cottonwood trees, where they forage in the branches and build their nests.
Katy Blanchard reported the first Rufous Hummingbird sighting and we are republishing an article on the Rufous Humming birds from 2018 by Sara Wright Birgitte Ginge report "Night Herons continue to show up - so maybe they will present their brood soon - at night! Seems like the Great Blue already has a long-legged young." Send us your bird sightings (or wildlife) with images if possible. Email
Abiquiu Lake: We had no reports from anglers this week. Contact the Abiquiu Lake Main Office at 505-685-4371 for updated lake conditions and closure information
Rio Chama: Streamflow below El Vado Lake Monday morning was 486 cfs; streamflow below Abiquiu Lake Tuesday morning was 101 cfs. Please remember, from the river-crossing bridge on U.S. Highway 84 at Abiquiu upstream 7 miles to the base of Abiquiu Dam is special trout waters with a bag limit of only two trout. We live down private drive 1622, in Abiquiu.
We adopted a feral cat from the Espanola animal shelter. They have a program called “barn cat”. It’s specifically for folks who are willing to take on a very feral, unadoptable, cat. The adoptee has to guarantee that the cat will have shelter, food, fresh water and have it’s medical needs addressed, as needed. We adopted Blackberry from this program about three years ago and have been very happy with her mousing skills. She lives in our laundry room with a raccoon proof entry, and comes in to eat every morning around 2 am. We see her very rarely, as she is stealthy and blacker than night. This morning we got a call from the shelter telling us that somebody brought Blackberry to the shelter. They trapped her and brought her in complaining that she has been coming over to their property for months. They are not allowed to tell us who did this. She is chipped and registered to us, thank goodness, or she would be put back into the program or euthanized. We often see other stranger cats on our property and are glad for it. I would like people to understand that cats are a benefit to us folks in the country. Our mouse population would grow immensely without them present. “Barn cats” are chipped, fixed and given a medical ok prior to being put up for adoption. They also nick their left ear as a sign to potential trappers that they are thus. It is not kind nor necessary to trap these guys. They have a great home and purpose. I can not think of a reason that BlackBerrys passing through a neighbors property would be a problem. Answer - Brian and I trap, Neuter and Release. If we inadvertently trap a feral with a clipped ear, we release and do not bring into shelter. We're grateful for the two ferals that have stuck around but we also work towards reducing the feral population. ***** Several of you requested more stories and interviews with our long time residents. We are trying! It has always been our goal to bring the community together. We'd also like to include more articles and interviews with long time residents in the village. Have a story to tell? an interviewee to suggest? contact us. Also, if you have a story to tell, send it in. If you want, interview your friend, relative, teacher, co-worker. If you think it would be interesting, I bet other people would too. Give it a try and send something in to us. Carol Bondy Scene Around TownWe checked back with the resident who took the above image.

This week, Jennifer recommends Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë: "What a classic. I loved this book as a young woman, but that was twenty years ago. It's the same book I loved, but it also shows me how I have grown. This book is honestly part of what's helped me stand up for myself in life, and I'm probably who I am because of this. Fun to read back and see it from this perspective. Plus, it's just a dang good Gothic story. I recommend it to anyone, especially for a monsoon afternoon this time of year."

A note from Zevk Ensemble:
Zevk Ensemble is grateful for the opportunity to support the presence of Únashay Grief Sanctuary.
With our music and poetry, it is our intention to gather and uplift hearts together in acknowledgement and love of the Divine Presence.
We accept the Decree that gives and takes life.
We attempt to face that door leading to the next world with tranquility and steadfast hearts.
And we have faith that the next world is one of Mercy and Peace.
And on Kal Cahoone and Aimee Wilson:
Kal Cahoone (from Denver, CO):
"Cahoone’s music is airy and ghostlike. In composition her songs are unpretentious but always in possession of some frightening complication that bubbles just beneath the surface. You can feel this complication. Nearly see it. In content, Cahoone seems almost obsessed with the ultimate human emotions and virtues – obsessed because she is uncomfortably learned in their power and charm; and deceit. To understand how everything around love and loss and pain has corners; and how they are all blindingly sharp going down – one doesn’t need much more than to listen to her songs. Lyrically, most of her cathedral work is conversational and so bleedingly honest and universal that one can’t help from cringing in understanding while listening."
Aimee Wilson (Abiquiu, NM):
"To the spirits, Aimee Wilson is a psychopomp armed with a voice that carves ravines and a guitar strung with strings that reverberate an uncloaked silence. Aimee sings to the angels when they play as if tapping into the origins of human sorrow."

Violet
Violet Bridgerton is a matriarch mama who likes to be treated as the viscountess she is - she needs a little time to warm up to new people, but once she does she is an absolute sweetheart! Lady Violet loves crunchy treats, head scratches and a good window seat. She is learning how to play with toys and recently decided she just might like being a lap cat too. She does not really enjoy being picked up right now (like most cats!) but if you sit near her she will crawl in your lap for a snuggle. This gorgeous girl is 6lbs and one year old, goes home spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and her adoption fee is waived during our Empty the Shelters event with Bissell!
