Employee Briefs

Dr. Michael Sitton, dean of the College of Fine Arts, traveled to Charlotte, N.C., for a performance of his new musical composition, “A Song of Creation,” by the Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs at St. Peter’s, a musical community outreach of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in downtown Charlotte. The Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs, which include nearly 100 singers from elementary school age through high school, provide a comprehensive musical education for these students. They perform publicly through the year in Charlotte and tour during the summer. Dr. Sitton was commissioned to write a work for the choir with the support of a grant from the Arts and Sciences Council of Charlotte, and composed a piece using words from Psalm 104 and from the Tewa “Song of the Sky Loom,” a text from one of New Mexico’s Pueblo cultures. The piece was written for all the choirs’ singers along with piano, French horn, cello, and violin. It was premièred in Charlotte on May 12 and repeated during the annual awards banquet, which Dr. Sitton attended, on May 19; during the choirs’ tour this summer the piece will be sung throughout the Southeast.

Robert McKinney has accepted a position as Sports Information Director at Willamette University in Salem, Ore.

Questions and Answers with Heather Haacke
Interrogation and photo by Wendel Sloan
Communication Services

Q. What do you do at the University and how long have you been here? A. I have worked for Eastern since August 2005 – in the Alumni Affairs office as an administrative secretary for the Alumni Affairs coordinator, Janice Cowen. I really enjoy all of the activities our office is involved in throughout the year, but my personal favorite is Homecoming. Q. What did you do before coming to Eastern? A. Prior to working for Eastern, I lived in Wise, Virginia, with my husband. I was a Court Certified Deputy Clerk for the Wise County/City of Norton Circuit Court Clerk’s Office. My main duty was to assist the Court Clerk, but I worked in various areas of the office including litigation, land records, and fines management. I also worked as the manager for a student program called Develop (Digital Earth Virtual Environment Outreach Program), sponsored by NASA, which involved using satellite imagery to complete projects for local communities.

Q. How do you feel about your current job, and what are your future plans?

A. I love my job! We get to plan lots of activities and work with students and alumni. I find it very interesting to learn where students go after they graduate and how Eastern has helped them. I have a wonderful supervisor and really enjoy working with all of the faculty and staff here on campus. I am from the South so I enjoy friendly faces.

My future plans are flexible. My husband will complete his Master’s of Communication next May and where we move will largely depend on his job opportunities. As for me, I hope to start a family and go back to school to finish my degree. I would love to work in the field of nutrition for the elderly.

Q. What do you like about Eastern, and what would you like to see changed?

A. Being from the mountains of Virginia, I love green. My favorite thing at Eastern is the beautiful campus and I appreciate everyone who works so hard to keep it beautiful. I also enjoy my co-workers and the wonderful students in our office.

Q. Where are you from and what was your life like growing up?

A. I am from Wise, Virginia, and I have a wonderful family who is now spread throughout the United States. Wise is located in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains, so I am use to lots of trees and mountains. We always enjoyed camping and hiking; however, I am too impatient to fish. I am the second child of five girls. My parents and youngest sister are still in Virginia. I have two sisters in Utah: one is teaching the 5th grade and the other just finished her freshman year at Brigham Young University. My older sister is married and lives in Mesa with my niece and two nephews,ages eight months to five years.

Q. Tell us about your own family?

A. I have a wonderful husband who is very talented. Spencer and I were married on September 4, 2004, in Washington, D.C. He also has a large family of four brothers and one sister who are spread throughout the United States. He is from Rexburg, Idaho, where his parents still live. We do not have any children yet but we hope to have some in the near future.

Q. What are your favorite foods?

A. This is easy, I love fruits and vegetables. I will eat almost any fruit and prefer it to normal food. My favorite vegetables are fresh corn-on-the-cob and tomatoes. Since moving to New Mexico, I have enjoyed being introduced to green chilies, which I have learned can be pretty much added to anything.

Q. What are your favorite sports?

A. Any sport that I do not have to watch is my favorite. I do enjoy tennis, volleyball, pilates, yoga, walking, and other forms of exercise.

Q. What would be your perfect vacation spot?

A. Anywhere with my family, but if I had my choice of places to travel I would like to go to Italy and Ireland.

Q. What is one thing you'd really like to do before you die?

A. I want to make a difference to as many people as possible before I die. I think that the whole purpose of life is to help those around you and make their lives easier. I also want to go to Disneyworld.

Former ENMU Football Player Named Head Coach at Valencia High
by T.S. Last
Valenica County News-Bulletin

In an effort to build a big-time football program at Valencia High School, the Jaguars hired a big man. Nelson Smith, who stands 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs more than 300 pounds, was hired as the Jaguars' first football coach and athletic coordinator. The big man brings with him some big-time football experience. He was a member of the La Cueva Bears when they won their first state championship in 1992. He went on to play for the University of Miami, helping the Hurricanes to two Big East Conference championships. His career there ended due to a back injury his junior year.

Smith returned to New Mexico to rehab his back and wound up playing his final three years of college football at Division II Eastern New Mexico University. He went on to play football professionally in Canada with the Toronto Argonauts and that city's arena football team.

"Everywhere I've been I've been a part of a winning program one way or another," said Smith, who played basketball and baseball at La Cueva and college hoop at ENMU. "I've been blessed to be around coaches that care for the game and have knowledge for the game. I've been able to learn from that."

Smith, 30, said he learned a lot from two high school coaches he's worked with recently. He was assistant head coach for the Highland High School boys basketball team under Danny Brown from 2003-05.

"When we took over that program, they were an 0 and 48 team, and we ended up turning that program around and got as close as the district championship game," he said.

Smith most recently coached under Rio Rancho High football head coach Phil Lopez, who Smith said was a strong supporter.

"By working with him, I was able to see the work and dedication that it takes to build a successful program," Smith said of Lopez. "He let me know early on that I was ready to be a head coach. So when this opportunity came up, I jumped at it."

Smith likes the idea of moving into a situation that's starting from scratch.

"That's a great benefit to us (coaches)," he said. "We get to teach them what we want them to learn from the get-go and instill what we want in our program. By the time they reach that junior year, it's going to be engrained in their minds what we expect from them."

As athletic coordinator, Smith wants Jaguar athletics to excel on and off the field.

"One thing I want to build at Valencia High is tradition. I want my kids to graduate — that's the No. 1 thing and that's my No. 1 goal," he said. "I want them to be able to go on to college whether it's athletic or academic. If you accomplish that goal, I think everything else will fall into place."

Smith, who is finishing up as a special education teacher at Rio Rancho Mid-High, is no stranger to Valencia County. With relatives in the area, he said he spent time here during summers while growing up. Before beginning his coaching career, he spent a year-and-a-half as a classification officer at the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility.

Smith said he's eager to assume the dual role as Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach at Valencia High.

"With that title comes a lot of responsibility. But it's going to give me the opportunity to know the community and be a part of the community. I want to let them know that I'm here for the long run and it's not just a stopping place for me."

Smith is married and has two boys, ages 7 and 9.

Potential ENMU Student Credits Parents for Perfect Attendance Record
by Michael Castellon
Odessa American

Great accomplishments can take many years to complete: the Eiffel Tower took two years, Michelangelo’s painting of the Sistine Chapel took four years, and the Statue of Liberty took nine years.

At Odessa High School, senior Zhanaé Fox is days away from finishing her 13-year masterpiece: Perfect attendance.

The advanced academic counselor Christi Harris stressed the accomplishment, saying, “It’s the ultimate. It’s very important.”

Zhanaé still recalls the day that started it all. “I was sitting looking around. I remember naptime, it was awesome.”

Her parents, Todd and Sandy Fox, have been a huge influence on Zhanaé — they don’t miss days at work either.
Zhanaé hasn’t even let her involvement in volleyball, basketball, track, Student Council, FCA or D-FY-IT keep her from attending school.

“The more days you miss, the more work you gotta make up,” Zhanaé said. She remembers many days early in her school career where she simply didn’t want to get out of bed, but after the third grade, she couldn’t say she didn’t want to anymore. After that she asked herself, “What am I gonna do if I don’t go to school?”

Zhanaé said she believes that her perfect attendance will reflect that she is dependable and will be there no matter what. Even with the determination to keep going to school, she faced temptations from her peers who would seem to miss school for little things such as the traditional Senior Skip Day.

With the temptation of graduation looming days away, Zhanaé says her attendance streak will continue into her college years. She hopes to become involved in physical therapy at either Sul Ross State University or Eastern New Mexico University.

Until then she has a couple of days left at Odessa High. On her last day she will “be at home asleep because there’s no finals.”

Apparently it’s one of the perks of perfect attendance.

DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box.

If either one is not displaying the above versions, click on the red “V” again with the right mouse button, then choose “Update Now” in the pull-down box. This will open a dialogue box displaying the status of the update process. Once complete, close the dialogue box and rerun the “About VirusScan Enterprise” option as described above.
