DEAR PAW’S CORNER: While walking along the local riverway this frosty weekend, I noticed at least three people whose dogs were under-equipped for the cold. One dog wore an insulated vest but no booties; the other two dogs wore no cold protection at all. Why do so many owners ignore their dogs’ comfort and safety this way? — Harold in New Hampshire

Director Matthew Vaughn is no stranger to spy movies, having previously directed the excellent 2014 film Kingsman: The Secret Service and its, well, less-effective follow-ups. His latest is Argylle, another feature involving secret agents.

While the other pictures in his previous series have always included a strong dose of humor, this effort veers even further in an over-the-top comedic course. As it turns out, it’s a wise decision. While the...

Walking through downtown Gallup, a person can see a wide number of murals showing off artists’ talents. But one that popped up in the past six months has a special story.

In 2021, the Gallup-McKinley County Chamber of Commerce held a class for community members called Leadership McKinley. Participants were encouraged to pick a project they could complete within five months. This served as their capstone project.

One group comprised of Gallup’s Planning Manager Nikki Lee and Four Corner’s Detox Recovery Center’s Operations Manager Maura Schanefelt, MPA, decided to focus on beautifying downtown Gallup by hiring artists to create murals.

And Schanefelt thought she knew the...
