Valdivia Family Transfer Request Tabled

Stella Valdivia's agent, Larry Domingez, appeared before the Torrance County Planning and Zoning board seeking approval of a family transfer exemption.  The request was to authorize a land division among family members.  The board voiced concerns over access to the properties if divided including travel through a neighboring property without an easement agreement as well as incomplete paperwork not submitted for inclusion into the meeting packets.  Discussion regarding the easement suggested that the Valdivia family seek a written access agreement through the easement from the neighboring property as well as possibly adding an easement within the Valdivia property itself in order to avoid any land locked parcel.  The board may hear this request at its' next meeting in March.

County Approves Indigent Burial

Constituent Seeks Commissioner Tapia's Recusal

Direct constituents and citizens Art and Julia DuCharme requested Commissioner Tapia's recusal when it comes time to vote on matters involving Estancia Valley Solid Waste Authority (EVSWA).  The DuCharme's do not believe that Commissioner Tapia can render an impatial decsion due to her freindship with EVSWA board member Debbi Ortiz.

Commissioner Tapia took great offense to the DuCharme's requst saying that she felt she was being personally attacked. The DuCharme's raise a very good question in this writters opinion, should members of the Commission step away from decisions involving money being granted to entities when commission members serve on boards and committee's, of those entities?  What about sitting on boards with local contractors or accepting airplane rides from contractors being awarded county contracts?  

What's your thoughts?

HOW COULD YOU DUMP ME?

HOW COULD YOU DUMP ME?

On or about last Thrusday, June 14, 2012 these two little dogs showed up around our house.  Both are entact males that look like they have not been fed or well cared for.  A member of our family said that a newer blue colored sedan vehicle, possibly a Chevy, was seen at the intersecting of Forest Road 275 and Rocking RL road on Thursday with these dogs chasing the vehicle as it speed away.  

One male looks like an older animal, he has some damage to his right eye and possible scaring on the right side of its face.  The other male looks younger.  I think they may be Chiuaua cross breeds.  Both dogs flee when approached so we are trying to calm them down in order to capture them.  

Should it be the case that these pets wandered off - our family would be very happy to assist in returning them to their owners. If the owners can not be found, we would be happy to offer them to a new home, or ultimately, will either have to take them to animal control or dispose of them should they show any danger to our livestock. 

Should it be the case that these animals were dumped, to the person/person's who may have dumped these dogs, just because you may see ranches with lots of land doesn't mean that the families living there want to be responsible for your throw away pets.  You should be very ashamed of yourselves - throw away pets/dumped pets can suffer a slow painful death from lack of food/water, can become prey to coyote, big cats, bear, and risk being shot by a rancher in order to protect their livestock. 

Given today's economy, it is understandable that some folks can't feed and care for their animals. There are other options besides dumping these animals on the side of the road. You could contact the area shelters, talk to animal control officers in the communities, put up flyers offering to give these pets away, or ultimately, man up and have them put down. Dumping animals is not only a crime, but is morally reprehensible.



Please help these dogs be reunited with their family or offer them a new home - we already have multiple mercy pets and can not take on any more.  If you recognize these dogs, please contact Edwina Hewett 505-847-2220 or 505-705-0732 or George@WhisperingRange.com.

Rural Torrance County, A Giant Country Dog Park?

Does all of this open land in Torrance County create a giant country dog park? What prompted this post was a brief conversation along one of our county roads. Seeing a vehicle on the side of the road and with the driver walking away from the vehicle, I assumed they were having trouble so I stopped to offer assistance. The driver indicated that they had let their dogs out to exercise. I explained that there were cattle all around to which the driver commented they were aware of that which is why they selected their exercise locations very carefully. Not more than a quarter of a mile away, was cattle gathered at a drink tank. Carefully selected location? 
Those who are new to the area and new to rural living may misunderstand what all of this open space is all about and possibly have no understanding of the ramification of allowing their dogs to roam about freely. I ask that those folks please consider the following;

1. Private property – the open space you allow your dogs to run on is owned by someone other than yourself. Their yard is just bigger than yours and is primarily used for agricultural production. Would you allow your local rancher to drop off their cattle in your yard?

2. Trespass – because this land is not yours, your animals are trespassing while roaming so in effect you are trespassing. If you want to allow your dogs to roam freely, please have the courtesy to find out who owns the land and at least ask their permission – don’t assume it’s a go just because you don’t see any livestock.

3. Right to Shoot – New Mexico statute allows for the shooting of animals, including dogs that endanger livestock. You may not believe that your pets pose a threat, but as a cattle owner, I can tell you that dogs will cause cattle to run. At a minimum, your dog could run my cattle through fences which will cost me time and money to gather my herd and repair fence, or at a maximum cause my cattle to run themselves to death which would be a significant financial loss for my family. Trust me, ranchers would prefer not to shoot any dog but they will do so to protect their livestock.

4. Natural Dangers – were you aware that your dogs could be bitten by rabid wild life, be attacked or eaten by coyotes, bears, mountain lions or other predatory species in the area, that your dogs could become infected with lice and other vermin that could carry plague back to your home just by coming into contact with native species?

5. Man Made Dangers – were you aware that some land owners will set traps and poison bates for coyotes, that your dogs could be attacked and possibly killed by dogs owned by the land owners on which your animals are trespassing on?

No, rural Torrance County and all of that beautiful open land is not a giant dog park it belongs to your neighbors so please be a good neighbor, respect the private property of others and keep your dogs safe by leashing them and walking them if appropriate areas.
