Wildfire risk reduction restores water—Co-stewardship is the key
“I’m the project overseer,” said Mayordomo Vicente Fernandez humbly when asked specifically about his mayordomo title. Vicente is the community manager of a 71-acre parcel in the Carson National Forest near Taos, New Mexico, where he and a group of volunteers are reducing hazardous fuels while improving water quality and quantity. Like his distinctive title, the project itself is unique. It’s called the Rio Don Fernando Cañon Leñero Project, which has been in existence for centuries, if not longer. Read More

When My brother and I were little, one of our favorite games was to guess at which butterfly we were seeing at a distance. Was it a monarch or a viceroy? We learned to note flight pattern differences. Monarchs flap and flutter while viceroys are more apt to glide.

I’m not a hacker, but sometimes I wish I was. Of course, that superpower I would use for good, to fight all the annoying evil hackers. Alas, I am unskilled in that area, and definitely not smart enough. Sometimes a hero comes along and you don’t recognize him. Mild mannered, quiet, married even. I’m talking about a guy recently that hacked a malicious hacking group, gathered incriminating information, and turned it over to the authorities. Read More

A friend recently shared her summary of an article she read on the internet. The author was some old white dude with some old white-dude name. He posits, in a totally old-white-dude way, that animals cannot have thoughts because they do not have words to think them. I posit, respectfully, that he is an idiot. Read More

Windows 11 is about 3 years old now, so it’s fairly well established. Somehow, like Window XP, another beloved OS, Windows 10 is holding on, long after it should. While I wasn’t a fan of Vista, and it took me a year to get used to 8, I found Windows 11 to be quite familiar. Read More

From Jack Stockwell, Espanola Pathways Shelter,
Once again Espanola Pathways Shelter is the drain for the Citys' zero plan decision making that has displaced numerous of the most vulnerable people. Our estimate, at least 15 people, who were once sheltered in place, are now displaced in our parking lot. Some of those individuals are youth. Some have nothing but what they are wearing. This brings our total number up to 45 individuals and 30 tents. We hired one Client Liaison and one Safety Captain. The Client Liaison is a part time day position that will help with day services, log keeping, and client tracking. The Safety Captain is also part time who will be posted during the evening. That role is to monitor and regulate property rules and maintain the safety of our community. This brings our crew up to 4 people at the Shelter. Needs: Clothes- we recently had an outbreak of bugs and we had to throw away all of our donation clothes. Gently used mens and womens t-shirts, pants, long sleeves, socks, underwear, and shoes. Food- No canned food! Milk, cereal, coffee, powdered drinks, sugar, fresh fruit and veggies, meat, Hot Meals!!!! Hygiene- shampoo, body wash, shavers, deodorant, lotion, hand soap, insect repellent, wound care, laundry detergent If funds are available we also have a few low budget needs that need to be carried between fiscal year gaps. $2,000 Client Engagement Program (4mos) - Incentivized work therapy that motivates clients to clean up surrounding property. Santa Clara Pueblo has serious complaints against EPS for allowing Camping in the parking lot that is overflowing trash into their wetlands. We recently rented a contractor dumpster to aid in the clean-up. Incentivizing the work helps to move it forward. $4,000 Laundry voucher program ( 4 mos) - Partners with the Bubble Zone Laundromat to provide $20.00 monthly laundry vouchers per client. Clients will be held accountable for keeping good relations with Laundromat staff and cleaning up after themselves. Donations taken M-F 9am-3pm at the Espanola Pathways Shelter. Thank you for your Support and dedication to the Cause! Jake Stockwell Operations Director 9374794214 
Next week we'll be posting an update on the proposed sale of the Tres Semillas Property.
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.

This week, Steph recommends Can't Spell Treason Without Tea, by Rebecca Thorne: "You ever dreamed of running away with your loved one and starting a bookshop where you can just forget all the stresses of the rest of your life? That's what this is, only with magic and kingdoms and the threat of dragons. Total cozy fantasy vibes with romance and mystery and laughter. An absolute book-lover's book. Best part? It's the first in a series, so there's more where this came from."

Don’t miss our end-of-the-summer ice cream treat combined with a short program highlighting a slew of unusual donations received by the library over the last few years. Contrary to what one might think, it’s not just books that are donated. We’ve invited several donors to come speak about why they brought us rocks from the Himalayas and other far-flung locales, a starfish discovered in a very unusual place, a skull of a beaver, a gopher-sized rodent skull from Rio Rancho, NM, a stunning fabric fold-out book of a memorable journey to Mexico, an 80 year-old quilt mysteriously left for the El Rito Library as a box of scraps at the Abiquiu Inn. You’ll also hear about a case of mistaken identity (or donors who mistook an arachnid for an amphibian) – and more.

Olive
Olive arrived in late May with a brutal injury to her mouth. Our vets determined this tenacious tabby had likely been bitten by a spider in her tongue, and due to the necrosis, we had to amputate much of it. At first, she was unable to eat; we inserted a tube into her stomach so we could tube feed her every few hours, and we also supported her with IV fluids. By some kind of miracle, this 10mo itty bitty kitty bounced back! She has half of a tongue remaining, and she can now eat and drink on her own (though she is a little messy). Olive has been nothing but loving and kind since the moment she arrived, despite pain and trauma and the frustration of not being able to take care of herself. This is one heart-y kitty and she deserves a special home and a family to call her own. Olive is available at the shelter and her adoption fee is waived!
