BLAME IT ON THE PARENTSJeri Hogue began to run long distance
after being introduced to the sport by
her seventh grade physical education
teacher at Mesa Alta Junior High
School in Bloomfield, which she said
changed her life.

OPPORTUNITYOF A LIFETIMEPatrick Gregoire first showed up at The
First Tee of San Juan County, N.M., in
2007 with his brother Taylor to give golf
a try. Six years later, he is headed to the
Nature Valley First Tee Open as one of
81 participants who will be paired with
a Champions Tour Player in a nationally
televised event.

COREY’SQUESTWalk into the house of local Farmington
resident Corey Stackhouse and you will
find a lovely home filled with pictures
of his family and décor that is
extremely warm and inviting. Hidden in
his closet though, lies evidence of a
quest that has been roughly 30 years in
the making.

has proposed new high school
classifications that could be
implemented during the 2014-2015
school year.

and the Lobos will be bad. At least
that’s what the media think will
happen this college football season.
The Mountain West Conference
pre-season poll was released this
week. Boise State and Fresno State
are considered the conference
favorites.

summer winds down, it’s time to take a
look at the 2013 District 1AAAA fall
season. It should be a wild season with
few clear-cut favorites.

Tony Snell proved them all wrong.
I guess you could say leaving school
early proved to be the right decision,
at least financially, for Snell.

Summer has zoomed past us at hyper
speed and school is starting.
No more sleeping in late and hanging
out with friends all day for the kids and, for
the parents, vacations are over and they
are preparing to get their kids back in the
school routine.
Remember that first day back to school
when you were a kid? There was as much
joyful anticipation as there was anxiety
about that day.
It feels like just yesterday that we were
writing about spring high school sports
and introducing our Four Corners Sports
Magazine.
Here at Majestic Media, we’re pretty ex-
cited about the new school year because
this is our third issue of our sports maga-
zine and interest in the magazine has been
overwhelmingly positive.
In this issue we have a fall sports pre-
view and a look at the possibility of
changes that the New Mexico Activities As-
sociation’s proposed reclassification of
sports teams will bring.
Farmington High School Athletic Director
Don Lorett said that if NMAA follows
through with its proposal, schools that are
reclassified could face “financial hard-
ships.”
It’s already shaping up to be an interest-
ing year in sports coverage.
We will now begin delivering our maga-
zine to the schools and covering all the
great coaches and athletes around our
area.
As always, this is your magazine and we
need your help with great stories about
athletes and coaches.
We also hope the coaches and athletic
directors will pitch in and let us know
when they have great news to report.

Charly martin
PV grad moves from Seahawks to 49ers while in town for football camp
Piedra Vista graduate and NFL wideout CharlyMartin hosted his annual football academy on July 8th and 9th with more than 220 elementary school athletes participating in thefree football camp.
For Martin it was a rollercoaster week with thecamp and a friend’s wedding sandwichedaround the unpredictable news that the Seattle Seahawks released Martin just as Mar-tin was passing out his No. 14 jersey at camp.
This has been the offseason for Martin in theNFL, working out with a team he may not be apart of come September. Charly has been “enjoying the ride” living his dream of being anNFL player.
One thing Martin does understand is the NFL isa business and it’s not only talent that makes itin the NFL. It also is timing and how muchmoney the team has invested in other players,among a host of other factors. As Charly says,
“I can only do my best and work on the things Ican control.”
In just a matter of days Martin was picked upby the San Francisco 49ers, moving from oneNFC contender to another. Immediately fans onthe 49ers’ webpage saw the signing of Martinas a coup in getting spy information on theirbiggest NFC West rival. Although there is nodoubt that Martin will be looking for more thanjust a hired scout.

Despite the injury to the ’Niners top receiver
Michael Crabtree, competition at the wide receiver
position will be tough in the 49ers’ camp with the
signing of Anquan Boldin, former Giants wideout
Mario Manningham, return specialist Kyle Williams
and former teammate and special teams leader
Kassim Osgood. At the age of 29, Martin is in his
prime and will be constantly pushed by younger
players looking to make their mark.
Charly also has been working behind the desk
with the NFL participating in their intern program
for the NFL where current and former players go
through a broadcasting boot camp to give play-
ers a look at life after football. Martin majored in
broadcast communications and sports manage-
ment while starring at West Texas A&M. But for
Charly, that project is, it is hoped, down the road
as he continues the pursuit of the dream.
Even with all that’s going on in his career, Martin
returned to Farmington for his two-day camp
again this summer, still in pursuit not only of
making a squad but playing a significant role at
wide receiver and on special teams. His camp
has been an important part of staying connected
to a community he represents quite well.

10 Four Corners SpoRTS August 2013
The New Mexico Activities Association has proposed new high school classifications thatcould be implemented during the 2014-2015school year.
The proposal is B-level schools could move upto a 1A-classification and 5A schools could bebumped up to a 6A-classification.
High schools are placed into different classifi-cations based on the school’s enrollment. Theclassifications also determine the districtswith which school sports teams will be associ-ated.
Every three to four years NMAA reevaluates theschools’ alignment based on if their enroll-ment increases or decreases. “If enrollment in-
creases, they move to a higher level, and viceversa,” said Farmington Schools Superintend-ent Janel Ryan, who also serves as the NMAAboard president.
The purpose of NMAA is to “set up the rulesand bylaws to provide fair and equitable playand participation in all of the sports and activi-ties of the state,” she added.

Lorett: Moving to 5A would be costlyNMAA looks at reclassifying high schools
Because the B-classification through 5A-classification has “not ex-
panded,” Ryan said NMAA proposed a 6A-classification. “What they are
proposing is to take the top 72 schools and divide them equally among
three classes – 6A, 5A, and 4A,” she said. “then, the remaining schools
would be divided” into the 3A, 2A,
and 1A classes.
Farmington High School Athletic
Director Don Lorett said that if
NMAA follows through with its
proposal, schools that are re-
classified could face financial
“hardships.”
Currently FHS and piedra Vista
High School in Farmington are
both 4A schools, but they could
potentially move to 5A schools,
Lorett said. Aztec High School
and Kirtland Central High School
also are currently 4A schools,
but if they don’t move up to a 5A
classification as well, then they
will no longer compete against
the Farmington high schools.
“For us, it becomes an issue of how we can survive financially,” Lorett
explained. “It would change our revenue for pV and FHS. We have great
county support for our schools’ football and basketball (teams). We get
great crowds and that is revenue.”
Lorett said if FHS and pV become 5A schools and play other 5A schools
that are further away, then “all of a sudden our crowds become
smaller.” this means the generated revenue also becomes smaller.
the first part in the reclassification process is the high schools’ enroll-
ment numbers must be determined and then presented to the NMAA
board. “the board would then pass the realignment and classification

as school gets back in session andthe summer winds down, it’s time totake a look at the 2013 District 1aaaafall season. It should be a wild sea-son with few clear-cut favorites.
FootballFor the first time in a long while theaztec Tigers will begin a season without a clear-cut QB waiting on thesidelines. The Tigers will begin theseason without adam Lucero and thestability he brought in a coach’s newsystem. however, aztec has been theteam to beat for half a decade in thedistrict and they know how to get thejob done.
at Piedra Vista and Farmington highstability at quarterback is one oftheir strengths. The Panthers returnthird-year starter Isaiah Valdez andthe scorpions return starter JacobLucas. Last season the Panthersknocked off aztec, but lost to Farmington, who ended up on thewrong side of the tie break scenarioand finished in third.
PV returns Beau Clafton and RyanRino as well as Valdez in their back-field. The Panthers will need to getsolid line play from an inexperiencedline to keep moving their offense forward. Kevin Werth takes over thereign as the offensive coordinator asFrank Whalen moves to the defensive
side. Farmington will continue toimprove and run the ball with authority.
Coach Gary Bradley has done a remarkable job with small, buthighly committed, numbers. Kirtlandshould also be much improved thisseason after what was a down yearfor the Broncos.
Predictions:1. Piedra Vista2. Farmington3. aztec4. Kirtland
VolleyballMuch like the aztec football squad,the Piedra Vista volleyball team hasbeen the team to beat in the districtsince the turn of the decade. Justlike the Tigers, the Panthers may becoming back to the pack this year,losing outside hitter Olivia Johnson,middle blocker McKenna Culp andsouthern Methodist signee andPlayer of the Year Katie hegarty.
Piedra Vista just won the UNM sum-mer Camp led by outside hittersammy sofka, and is still the team tobeat. Farmington is the most improved program in the districtunder second year head coach Danhickman who has brought a newcommitment to the scorpions.

last season the Farmington Scorpions and aztec lady tigers
played their way into the state championship games. on the
girl’s side, all four district teams made it to the playoff. Coaches
have been the story this
summer on the boys’ side, as the Scorpions and Panthers are
both looking for head coaches yet again, which is interesting
since both of these programs have been successful, especially
the Scorpions, who have two state championships and a state
runner-up in their recent history.
this season the boys will be up in the air with new coaches and
untested players. on the girls’ side all four teams should again
be good enough to qualify for the state playoffs. aztec is athletic,
with the most
returning. Farmington again should be solid and make a run for
the title. Piedra Vista is young and inexperienced, but has solid

Jeri Hogue began to run long dis-tance after being introduced tothe sport by her seventh gradephysical education teacher atMesa Alta Junior High School in
Bloomfield, which she saidchanged her life. But now Jeri, 50,is not the only avid runner in herfamily. Her husband, Eugene, andtwo children, Allegra and Sebast-
ian, also love the sport.
Owners of the Farmington run-ning apparel store, SouthwestRunners, Jeri and Eugene have
been married for 27 years andmet each other while competingin a local race. Since then, run-ning has been a huge part of theirlives.

“i just love it. it is a hobby for me
now,” eugene said.
along with owning Southwest
Runners, Jeri and eugene also
volunteer as cross-country
coaches at Mesa View Middle
School.
“i like to give back to the stu-
dents and help them start
running. i think it is good to keep
your weight down for your health
and (running) is a good stress
reliever,” Jeri said.
Sebastian, 25, and allegra, 22,
became interested in running
long distance after seeing their
parents’ love for the sport.
“i blame the parents,” Sebastian
said with a grin. “Just seeing
them do it made us want to do
it.”
Sebastian participated in track
and field during his time at
Piedra Vista High School. allegra
was mainly involved with PV’s
volleyball team. She still found
the time to run, however.
“i was a volleyball player and my
parents converted me,” allegra
said. the reason she enjoys run-
ning is because “i feel good af-
terwards.”
the Hogues have been involved in
countless half-marathons and
marathons.
eugene recently ran in the
annual Rock n’ Roll half-
marathon in San Diego, Calif. Out
of the more than 25,000 runners
who participated in the race,
eugene placed 38th overall with
a time of one hour and 15 min-
utes.
He also ran in the boston
Marathon twice, with his best time
of two hours and 32 minutes.
Other locations in which eugene
has raced include Las Vegas, nev.,
Shiprock, and Sacramento, Calif.
the running shoe company,
brooks Sports, inc., has even
begun to sponsor eugene. “it is
given to anyone that inspired
others to run and he qualified
under his unique story because
at his age. He is still quick,” Jeri
explained.
Jeri also has competed in vari-
ous races, including the Marine
Corps Marathon. “i’ve done one
marathon and it took me seven
months to train for. it is hard but
the satisfaction is so great when
you finish.”
For the past eight years, Sebast-
ian has competed in the 10K
narbona Pass Classic. “it is very
challenging and hilly in the
narbona Pass,” which is located
near the border of new Mexico
and arizona.

In 1994, the Hogues opened up their home to
three Kenyans, Andrew Musuva, Jonathon
Ndambuki, and Veronica Kanga. They are
professional runners who came to America to
train for various marathons. The Kenyans lived
with them for five years, and during that time,
the Hogues’ passion for running grew.
“Everything that happens in your life fits in like
a puzzle and it comes together,” Jeri said
about the Kenyans living with them.
Eugene trained with the Kenyans as a way to
practice and hone his own skills. “They had a
coach up here who they trained with, so I
jumped in with them,” Eugene said.
Running has become a sport in which the
Hogues have become entrenched. Not only do
they compete in races around the country, but
they opened Southwest Runners in 2010 to
continue inspiring others to run.
“It has been a dream of mine since 1991,” Jeri
said about opening the store.
Sebastian said his advice to beginning run-
ners is to take it easy in the beginning. “Don’t
push yourself every day because there is no
need to do that. Don’t start off running miles;
start to run a few minutes instead, so you put
the time in, instead of killing yourself by
running a long distance.”
Along with opening Southwest Runners and
also making time to run in various races, the
Hogues have organized a running group that
meets near Piedra Vista High School at 7 p.m.
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
“Anyone can come – walkers and joggers – as
long as you get out there and exercise,” Jeri
said. Currently there are 20 people involved in
the group. For anyone who wishes to join the
running group, call Southwest Runners at
505.325.7463.
Southwest Runners is located at 4250 E. Main
St. in the Hillside Plaza.

The Broncos and Bulldogs will be good and the Lobos will be bad.
At least that’s what the media think will happen this college footballseason. The Mountain West Conference pre-season poll was releasedthis week. Boise State and Fresno State areconsidered the conference favorites.
The Broncos received 40 of the possible41 first place votes in the Mountain Divi-sion.
Fresno State was the overwhelming fa-vorite in the West Division, earning 39 firstplace votes. This season marks the first time in MW history for divi-sional play. The two divisional winners will meet in the inaugural MWChampionship Game on Dec. 7 at the home stadium of the divisionalchampion with the highest BCS ranking.
“I’d like it a lot better if Boise State wasn’t in our division,” joked UNMhead coach Bob Davie. “But seriously, it makes geographic sense andyou try to keep regional rivalries in place.”
New Mexico was picked to finish last in theMountain Division. The Lobos are aligned
with Boise State, Utah State, Air Force,Wyoming and Colorado State. UNM is
coming off a 4-9 season. This willbe the second year at UNM forhead coach Bob Davie. UNM opensthe year against Texas San
Antonio on Aug. 31.

I had a chance to talk with the MWC
coaches this week, and here’s a quick
hit view of what you can expect from
UNM’s conference opponents this
year.
UNLV: Head coach Bobby Hauck is on
the hot seat. He’s only won six games
in the last three seasons. He brought
in two new coordinators and installed
the Pistol offense.
Wyoming: Quarterback Brett Smith
could be a star in this league if he
stays healthy. He suffered a concus-
sion last season and the Cowboys
stumbled to a four wins.
Utah State: The Aggies are newcomers to the league, choosing the
greener pastures of the Mountain West over the WAC. Utah State is
led by first year head coach Matt Wells, who used to be an assistant
at UNM under both Rocky Long and Mike Locksley.
San Diego State: The Aztecs will be good again this year after pulling
in a share of the conference title last season. Rocky Long was the
Conference Coach of the Year. San
Diego State wants to run the football
and with Adam Muema coming back
they probably will chalk up plenty of
yards on the ground.
Air Force: Troy Calhoun enters his sev-
enth season as the Falcons head coach.
New Mexico might be able to take ad-
vantage of a battered Air Force team by
the time they square off Nov. 8. After
their opener against Colgate, Air Force
will take on Utah State and Boise State.
Air Force will face San Diego State,
Notre Dame and Army in the three
weeks leading up to UNM.
Colorado State: Jim McElwain tries to
improve on his 4-8 record in year one
with the Rams. “We’re a much improved
team,” said McElwain. “I’ve seen every-
one raise their expectations.” The Rams
return over half of their offense and de-
fense, so experience should help.
Fresno State: The Bulldogs have a legiti-
mate Heisman hopeful in quarterback
Derek Carr. The senior threw for a
conference record 4,104 yards to rank
eighth in the nation last season. He
threw 37 touchdowns on the year, tying
for third nationally. “He could be one of
the best quarterbacks in the country,”
said Tim DeRuyter.
Boise State: The “they’re in, they’re out,
they’re in again” Broncos have committed to the Mountain West, at
least for now. Chris Petersen is coming off an 11-2 season, but Boise
State had few dominant wins as in years past. “We’ve got kind of a
young team,” said Petersen.

to improve on his golfing skills. A fire seemed to light in Gregoire that he
hadn’t experienced before – like he had found his calling. His hard work
eventually paid off in his attempt as a freshman to make his high school
golf team.
As Gregoire continued to thrive in the environment of golf and life skills, the
opportunities began to increase. He has made the A/B Honor Roll multiple
times and was selected as one of 100 participants chosen to participate in
The First Tee National Life Skills and Leadership Academy in 2011 at Arizona
State University. Gregoire’s incredible work ethic, on and off the golf
course, has begun to pay off as his scores continue to get lower. He made
the varsity team at Piedra Vista High School as a sophomore and junior,
and has qualified this summer for the Rocky Mountain Junior Tour Tourna-
ment of Champions.
“The more I played golf, the more I have loved it,” explained Gregoire. “As I
got better and became more competitive, it wasn’t as much fun to me. Golf
was more of something I had to do. Recently I have learned to enjoy the
game for what it is, and it has become more of a sanctuary for me – some-
where I can go and just relax and forget about all the stresses and worries

Walk into the house of local Farmington resident Corey Stackhouse and you will find alovely home filled with pictures of his familyand décor that is extremely warm and inviting.Hidden in his closet though, lies evidence of aquest that has been roughly 30 years in themaking.
Growing up in upstate New York, Stackhousetook to his father’s passion for baseball cardsand all things Syracuse University. Stack-house’s father, Jamie – also a Farmington resi-dent – had a wonderful collection of cards anda particular friend of his would bring cards toCorey every year to get his collection started.
As he was rummaging through boxes of cards,he noticed a particular player that became thecenterpiece of his current collection.
“I used to get boxes every year, and in 1983 Iwas going through cards at my grandmother’shouse and my dad pointed out that Tim Wallach had the same name as my youngerbrother,” explained Stackhouse. “I asked if hewas good and my dad looked at his stats onthe back of the card for 1982. He had a greatyear in ’82, had been a number 1 draft pickand I loved the Montreal Expos uniform that hewas wearing. At that point, I declared him myfavorite player.”
So it began – a seemingly benign love affairwith a particular Major League Baseball player,the sort that many kids engage in and then forget about as they move on to the next latestand greatest.
But not Stackhouse.
“When you’re growing up, collecting cards,every kid has ‘a guy,’” said Stackhouse.“Some of my friends were collecting DonMattingly, some Eric Davis – and I was collecting Wallach’s cards. It was very random, not like he lived down the street orI had met him.”

As his competitive nature grew, so too did his
collection of Wallach baseball cards and mem-
orabilia.
“None of Wallach’s cards were ever worth very
much, so it was easy to collect a lot of them,”
said Stackhouse. “It was cost prohibitive for
my friends to collect some of their favorite
players because their rookie cards were worth
so much. Wallach’s rookie card was only worth
$2, so I could collect 10 or more of them.”
The quest to gain all things Tim Wallach be-
came much easier as Stackhouse got older,
with the advent of eBay and the Internet.
“EBay is a great place to find cards and I ended
up cleaning out a bunch of vendors of their
Wallach stash.”
So as his collection has grown to almost 8,500
Wallach cards, the memorabilia has also
grown to include game-worn Wallach jerseys
when he was with the Montreal Expos, as well
as Los Angeles Dodger jerseys – both as a
player and a coach. Stackhouse also has such
things as game-worn helmets, wristbands,
game tickets and magazines/game programs.
“I have an undefined goal of collecting all of
Wallach’s cards,” explained Stackhouse. “It
keeps me busy and it’s a competition with
myself – how many can I get.“
Perhaps the best part of the story is the en-
counters Stackhouse has had with Wallach. A
reporter recently put the two in touch with
each other on a conference call after point-
ing out to Wallach that Stackhouse had a
blog regarding collecting all things Tim Wal-
lach.
“I got to talk with him for half an hour and
fire questions at him, which was very cool,”
said Stackhouse. “He was very nice and made
it comfortable – because I was scared to
death. I had this icon built up in my mind for
my entire life.”
The ice was officially broken when Stack-
house mentioned their first meeting, unbe-
knownst to Wallach.
“It helped that I said that I had met him once
before in a spring training game in Phoenix
when he first became the third base coach for
the Dodgers,” said Stackhouse. “I was wearing
27Four Corners SporTSAugust 2013
my Expos jersey and he spotted me from
center field, pointed at me and told me
he would be back. He disappeared into
the dugout and then came right over
and signed my jersey. I told him he was
my favorite player – but didn’t tell him
about the card collection.”
“When I told him about that on the
phone call, he said he remembered be-
cause it was the only time he had seen
anybody wearing his Expos jersey in the
stands.”
The Tim Wallach collection is the obses-
sion that drives Stackhouse to this day,
but only makes up about one-quarter of
his entire baseball card collection.
“My favorite (non-Wallach) card is a
1971 Topps Thurman Munson,” ex-
plained Stackhouse. “My most valuable
card is a 1954 Bowman Willie Mays.”
And as his card collection grows, he
continues his quest to find the rarest of
Wallach memorabilia.
“Most of what I don’t have currently and
what I am looking for are rare items
that are 1 of 1 or 1 of 2 in existence,”
said Stackhouse.
He takes pride in what he has built up in
regard to his baseball card collection,
but is not consumed solely by baseball
cards and all things Wallach.
“I enjoy watching sports, especially if it
is the New York Yankees or Syracuse
basketball/football,” explained Stack-
house. “I also love spending time with
my family.”
As the eternal quest to find rare memo-
rabilia of his childhood idol continues,
Corey Stackhouse will continue to lead a
normal life – practicing law, watching
sports, doting on his beautiful family –
and looking for any reason to open his
closet and add to his ever-growing col-
lection

Then, schools have the ability to appeal their classifica-
tion only if they wish to move to a higher classification.
“At our september meeting, we will vote on (which) ap-
peal process that we want used for this, so any district
that feels they are not in the place they need to be in
2014, they have a right to appeal,” Ryan said.
Along with realignment, NMAA also focuses on stu-
dents’ participation in athletics and extracurricu-
lar activities.
According to the NMAA website, “NMAA encourages
students to take part in as many activities as pos-
sible during their years in schools. … Coaches are
expected to encourage multi-sport participation.”
“How much a student participates is really up to
the energy and capabilities of the student and the
support of their parents,” Ryan said. “We always
talk about the reasons for athletics and extracur-
ricular activities are to provide a well-rounded stu-
dent as they grow through their middle and high
school years. This is the way we encourage it. If
you limit your talents, you really don’t know how
far you can expand or go.”

Gregoire for the news that was coming
in mid-July, when he found out that he
had been selected for Pebble Beach. He
couldn’t believe the news.“It is an
incredible blessing to have the opportu-
nity to get to play a golf course (Pebble
Beach) that I have always dreamed of
playing,” said Gregoire. “And to get to
play side by side with a senior tour
player – it has been hard to get my
mind around it. It is just absolutely
incredible.”
Gregoire has been a model participant
in his chapter of The First Tee. He volun-
teers on a regular basis mentoring
younger participants, helping during
the state competition for Special
Olympics and is extremely active with
his church.“Patrick is the epitome of
what our curriculum is all about. He in-
corporates our Nine Core Values in his
daily life and has worked hard on his
golf skills to accomplish what he has,”
added Yost.And as he continues to reap
the benefits of all the hard work and
dedication, Gregoire is extremely appre-
ciative of the many opportunities pre-
sented to him by The First Tee.“The First
Tee opens up so many doors for kids
who otherwise wouldn’t have opportu-
nities like this,” commented Gregoire. ‘
“The First Tee has taken me to places I
have never dreamed of going.” Places
such as Arizona State University, Pebble
Beach Golf Links and other, yet to be
determined, places.
This much is for sure, no matter the
path that Patrick Gregoire chooses, the
life skills and character values he has
cultivated through The First Tee of San
Juan County, N.M., will lead him down
the path to success.’
“I owe a lot of who I am today to The
First Tee,” he said.

My dad was avid in baseball as a player and coach. Mom
went out on two dates with the Famous MLB Skipper Billy
Martin before she married my dad. Baseball, in their eyes,
was our destiny. My dad is a baseball icon in the game with
a field named after him and he once served on the USA team
steering committee to the 1984 Olympic Team at the Los An-
geles Games
Every moment playing was the thrill for me – not just one
moment – whether it was a great play or a walk off hit. Just
playing the game was great. Taught me what a team meant.
I also loved the memory of playing with and against my twin
brother
Named NCAA/NAIA Conference Coach of the Year at the
College Level.
Defeating the Dallas Tigers back to back to advance to the
Willie Mays World Series as the head coach of the Farming-
ton Fuel, which is the only time a Farmington team ever
achieved that. Finishing runner up in last year’s AABC World
series.
Watching my 12-year-old throw a perfect game against
14-year-olds was also special.
It is as important as any kind of community activity to which
a kid has access. Kids need to be active. It is not just about
baseball – although that really is the tradition of San Juan
County. Baseball has put this city and county on the map. It
is a community steeped into the tradition of being the great-
est amateur baseball tournament anywhere.
Ah Rex Ryan. Yes, Rex worked for Highlands University for a
short time. Rex is good for the game. What you see from Rex
is what you get. He dabbled in the college ranks as a coach
before going into the NFL. Rex was the kind of guy who
would study all facets of the game and he wanted to learn
all that he could. Highlands University was a stepping stone
and he was fun to be around for the time he was there. I
hope he does get to the Super Bowl one day. One of these
days, if he does, he will get an email from me asking for tick-
ets.
It is very difficult to improve on something that is already ex-
cellent. From someone who works on it year in and out, it is
very difficult to see the quality in the tournament because it
is steeped in tradition and every year, to those who come,
it’s excellent. We always have a dedicated group that makes
this tournament the quality it is. New this year is the ticket-
ing and entrance renovation that we just completed, of
which I am proud to have been a part. This was made possi-
ble by the people and organizations who love the game, both
here locally and those from afar.
We are adding a new event for 2013. It is called the coaches’
Fungo bat skills challenge. It will coincide with the Home Run
Derby on Sunday. This involves coach participation, which is

something new. I also have added a new committee called Public Rela-
tions and Information. A booth will be set up in our new retail space to
answer questions, sell bricks for the new entrance and provide dining
and tourism information.
I also want to enhance the World Series via my administration in setting
up longevity on committees. This tournament cannot happen without
our volunteers and committee heads, and it’s getting tougher every
year. The best thing I could do is make subtle improvements administra-
tively via the process and procedures updates and set up good succes-
sion planning on committees. I would like to try to raise the money for a
new message video board, bring in more vendors, and find a place to
set up amusement games and baseball equipment booths for fans and
players. This year we will have a bat company set up.
Most importantly, I want to find a way in the future to where we can ex-
pand the seating area for fans. Getting more people in the stands would
be awesome. But it is going to take a bunch of money that will have to
come from outside sources. I would have preferred to expand bleachers
versus the new entrance, but when you rely on the giving of people and
companies, they want something to show for it. One day I hope when we
are back to being economically healthy that we can get some legislative
money for bleacher expansion like we did the last time.
I want people to know that they should be comfortable with who they
have leading their government. I want to become more and more trans-
parent. We are in a society today where government is frowned upon
primarily as it transcends from the federal level and typed down to the
local level. However, I also know that this is the level where things get
done, and there is no excuse that we cannot move faster and take care
of our citizens with quality. Even in the toughest of times.
I would one day like to see a vibrant beauty throughout all of San Juan
County, one where our natural resources are not threatened via ni-
trates in the river. It is for this reason that the county will continue to
work hard on getting sewer systems in place in key areas and get peo-
ple off of failing septic systems. Taking care of our roads and address-
ing economic development are also an active part of my job.
I also want one day to have every vehicle in San Juan County operating
off of natural gas. I am actively involved with investors and other enti-
ties on seeing this initiative come to a reality. This would be tremendous
for the citizens.
It confirmed to me the life lessons my parents and peers taught me. It
taught me the dynamics of a team concept. It taught me that when mis-
takes get made there are others there to support you and back you up.
It also taught me that we can’t win them all. Sports are a major part of
my life always has been and will be. Most importantly it re-enforced to
me that experience is what you gain from things you don’t want to en-
counter. There is life after losing!
It is not just about the game, we teach kids how to carry themselves on
and off the field. We use real life examples of how to learn what the
team concept is. How to get through adversity and how to carry them-
selves as a leader, a champion – and even when we lose. What is re-
warding is to see one of our players achieve in “getting it.” What I mean
is when they are taught the rationale or concept of something and they
execute it. We teach them the importance of the “listen to learn”
method. Most importantly, I want them to learn what I did as a coach
that helped them in their life and what they would do differently.

He understands that he can be a positive role model
for athletes and that it wasn’t all that long ago where
he was in the place of these young players and had a
host of positive role models that pushed him and
guided him to the player and the person he is today.
So this summer, keep an eye on the 49ers website and
follow along with Charly’s progress. Like his old team
the Seahawks, the 49ers play every year in Phoenix.
So, we hope, it will be time again to make the road trip
and cheer on one of our own. Of course before all that
happen, Martin will have to earn his way onto the
49ers roster.
Coach Harbaugh is known for his toughness and work
ethic, which should play toward Charly’s strength and
give him a shot to be a part of the 49ers.
Charly has a reputation for not being outworked, and
should he find a way onto the roster it will have been
well earned.

Many doubted him, and former Lobo tony Snellproved them all wrong. I guess you could sayleaving school early proved to be the right de-cision, at least financially, for Snell. theChicago Bulls made Snell the 20th overall pickin the NBA draft. First round picks get guaran-teed contracts, so Snell will stand to makeclose to $1.2 million each of his first two yearsin the league. the third and fourth years onrookie contracts are team options.
“It’s a blessing,” said Snell. “I thank God everyday for giving me the opportunity to put on aBulls jersey. I’ve been watching the Bulls sinceI was a kid, and to put on that jersey means awhole lot to me.”
Snell will wear number 20.

with a 7-foot wingspan. He’s a great athlete with a lot of potential to
get even better.”
“We think he has a chance to come in and contribute next year. We
think he has great upside,” added Forman.
Snell hopes to come in and make an impact immediately with the
help of teammates such as Derek rose.
“I expect to learn from the veterans, work as hard as I can, and learn
as much as I can,” said Snell.

Kirk will log plenty of frequent flier miles over the next month. He
went from Albuquerque to Colorado Springs, then straight to russia,
and next month he will join his UNM teammates in Australia for a pre-
season tour.
What does your schedule look like?I think it’s safe to say the New Mexico State men’s basketball non-con-
ference schedule is one of the best lineups they’ve had in a long time.
the Aggies released a list of their opponents this week. Along with
two games against rivals UtEp and UNM, New Mexico State will play
road games at Colorado State, Gonzaga and Arizona.
New Mexico State opens the season in Hawaii in a tournament
against Western Michigan, tennessee State and host Hawaii. “I am
very pleased with the way the schedule turned out,” said head coach
Marvin Menzies. “We set out trying to be as aggressive as possible in
the non-conference portion, and put ourselves in the best position
possible to reach the postseason. We are going to have a very chal-
lenging road schedule, which I think tests our team well, as we estab-
lish a strong rpI going into conference play. Everyone in the program
wants the opportunity to play against the best teams in the country,
and we definitely have that in place this season.”
