Eastern's Departing 'Dave and Adam' Join History's Other Famous Duos by Erin Griffith Communication Services The strangest part of this extraordinary friendship might be that Dave and Adam are leaving Portales for different reasons, but both are moving to Atlanta, Ga.

Famous pairs such as Batman and Robin, Beavis and Butthead, Bert and Ernie, and Calvin and Hobbes are dear to the hearts of many Americans. However, there is a duo at Eastern New Mexico University that is more famous and beloved locally: Dave and Adam.

Adam Morrison and Dave Ortega work in the Office of Communication Services as the webmaster and a graphic designer, respectively, and both will leave the University for Georgia this May. (Adam’s last day is the 25th, but Dave is a slacker and is leaving on the 24th.)

On his first day, Adam was caught in the headlights, but soon became "Webmaster Adam." (graphics by Dave Ortega)

From the first day of working together, Adam and Dave became friends, as well as an inseparable duo of creative genius for the school. They have played a great part in refurbishing the school’s website and creating a “look” for Eastern.

Dave always had a smile even before announcing his departure from Portales. (photo by Adam Morrison)

“On Adam’s first day, he walked in and we were wearing the same shirt and pants; it was like our friendship was meant to be,” said Dave, a graphic designer for the University since May 2003. Not only do the two have remarkably similar taste in clothes, but they also lead mysteriously similar lives. “Both of our wives hold degrees in elementary education from Eastern, and neither of them is currently teaching. Strangely, I don’t think they knew each other when they were in school,” said Adam, who is married to Stephanie. Adam and Dave spend about eight hours a day together at work; and often also get together outside of work. “They moved in across the street from me and Gloriane, and we all get along very well. They come over here, we go over there, or we meet at a third party’s home to hang out,” Dave said. The strangest part of this extraordinary friendship might be that Adam and Dave are leaving Portales for different reasons, but both are moving to Atlanta, Ga. “We are moving there to be closer to family,”

Adam said. “When we get there I hope to find a good job; hopefully, at either Georgia Tech or Georgia State University, buy a nice house, and spend time with family.”

Dave is moving to continue his education at a graphic design postgraduate school.

“I will be attending Creative Circus, ranked second in the nation for design programs. We have an apartment in Georgia already. The school has a job placement program with positions all around the world; somewhere in London would be nice,” Dave said.

Unfortunately, with the transition from a little town to a big city, Adam and Dave will no longer be able to spend as much time together, or have brainstorming sessions as they walk to lunch at Taco Box.

D'Lyn Ford, director of publications and the duo's supervisor, said her first impressions of Dave and Adam during her interview were that "they were talented and smart and would be fun to work with. It’s been such a delight to get to know and work with them both. We will miss Adam and Dave tremendously, but we can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish next.”

Adam said, “I’m going to miss the office; we have a great group of people to work with, and I will especially miss collaborating with Dave.”

Dave added, “I also will miss the office a ton, and working with Adam and everyone else in the office. They all have a great sense of humor. I will especially miss Adam's marshmallow shooter,” he joked.

Dave and Adam claim they will miss their co-workers. (photo by Wendel Sloan)

"Thery are both very talented and quality young men, mature beyond their years," said veteran media relations director Wendel Sloan. "The way they treat others is a credit to Eastern. I will especially miss their senses of humor, and will always appreciate how they helped me many times with newfangled graphics or web issues.

"My chief regret is that they had no interest in noon-time basketball. I also feel a little bad about once participating in an April Fool's joke on Dave in which we convinced him that the Board of Regents had ordered us to return immediately to using Eastern's old 'E' logo on all publications. Its use was a nightmare for graphic designers, and I still feel a twinge of guilt about the agonized groans coming from Dave's cubicle after one of our workstudy students gave him the fake news release. In fairness to me, she was the brains behind the operation," Sloan added defensively.

Co-workers help the departing duo celebrate their new adventures. (photo by Roma Vivas)

ENMU Couple Trains for High Plains Golf
Story and photo by Marc Schoder
Communication Services

The couple met thanks to a former landlord’s daughter. “She was friends with Jackie, and she had asked me what I was doing home on a Saturday night without a date,” he said. Jackie added that her friend told her that she had a couple of tall friends, and "the rest is in the history books."

Ed and Jackie Kabrick, Eastern’s athletic trainer and payroll generalist, respectively, came to the High Plains in the fall of 2001 from the eastern part of Oklahoma in search of new jobs. “I learned of this job by luck from an Eastern grad named Gary Diehm, who’s now the athletic trainer at Midwestern State but used to work as a student trainer for Bill Joy at Eastern,” said Ed. Jackie, his wife of 16 years, added that before coming to Eastern, she had told him "no" on interviewing for certain jobs.

“When we were first planning to visit here, I had no idea where Portales was,” said Jackie. When the couple moved to Portales with their daughter, Megan, who now attends Eastern and plays basketball for the Zias, Jackie admits it took a bit of getting used to living on the High Plains.

“It was very flat, brown and dry,” said Jackie, who said she is more accustomed to seeing the green trees of eastern Oklahoma.

According to Ed, the couple met thanks to a former landlord’s daughter. “She was friends with Jackie, and she had asked me what I was doing home on a Saturday night without a date,” he said. Jackie added that her friend told her that she had a couple of tall friends, and "the rest is in the history books."

Jackie said the couple’s “official first date” was the movie “City Slickers” and going to a barbeque. “It was the movie out at the time,” said Ed. Jackie quipped, “That he did want to see.”

The couple added now that their daughter is playing for the Zias, and they are not able to go to as many away games, they have more time for a new hobby--golf.

“I started to pick up golf when Portales High School coach Brenda Gomez got me into the game,” said Jackie. “I invited Ed along, and we were both hooked.”

The couple admits that their new-found hobby is expensive, however, Ed adds that is what ebay was invented for.

The couple said that they plan on living in Portales till retirement, but do have a retirement spot picked out.

“We want to be on Beaver Lake in Northwest Arkansas,” said Jackie.

Ed added, “We also want to win the lottery and be close to golf.”

United Nations Observing Rwandan Genocide
( ENMU Business Professor Lost Entire Family)

Editor's Note: In the following interview with Communication Services , ENMU assistant professor of marketing Dr. Etienne Musonera, who lost his parents and his eight siblings in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, discusses what led to the event, and about the United Nations observing the event.

"My father, mother, brothers and sisters were all killed during the 1994 genocide perpetrated against the Tutsis in Rwanda...Let's forgive, but not forget."
– Dr. Etienne Musonera

Q: Where are you from and what was your life like growing up? A: I was born and grew up in Rwanda. I still miss the social life I had then. Q: Tell us about your family? A: My lovely wife is Agnes (a registered nurse), and we have three children: Grace (student at ENMU), Blyss and Bercy Musonera. My father, mother, brothers and sisters were all killed during the 1994 genocide perpetrated against the Tutsis in Rwanda. Q. Can you give us more details about your family?

Dr. Etienne Musonera lost family in Rwanda (photo by Marc Schoder)

A. I had four brothers and four sisters. I was in Michigan during the genocide, and I go back to Rwanda to visit whenever I can. The remains of my mother and one sister have not been found. Most of those who committed the atrocities are out of jail under the name of “reconciliation.” The United Nations has recognized the Tutsi genocide. Let’s forgive, but not forget.

Q. Tell us about the day that the U.N. has set aside to remember the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda?

A. For centuries Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda, as well as in Burundi, shared a single language, a common history, and cultural practices. They lived next to one another, ate and drank together, and there is considerable number of mixed marriages. After the 1960, Hutu government in Rwanda made the ethnic identity the predominant issue.

Those in power used physical attacks as well as verbal abuse to achieve their ends. To create hatred and fear, the government played upon memories of past domination by the minority (tutsi) and on the legacy of the revolution that overthrew the tutsi domination, and drove many tutsis into exile in 1959. Singling out tutsis was easy because the law required that all Rwandans be registered according to ethnic group.

Through virulent propaganda and political maneuvering, the Hutu government widened divisions between Hutu and Tutsi , and by late March 1994, Hutu Power leaders were determined to slaughter massive number of Tutsi and Hutu opposed to their government. On April 6, the plane carrying the president was shot down by a small group of his close associates – who decided to execute the planned extermination. Soldiers backed by militias began systematically slaughtering Tutsi.

The daily killing rate was more than five times that of Nazi death camps. The trend has been evident throughout the 1990-1994 period, when numerous smaller-scale massacres of Tutsi males were targeted exclusively. Tutsi women were exposed to a wide range of horrific abuses. They were gang raped, and held in sexual slavery. Many women were killed after they had witnessed the torture and killings of their relatives. Often tutsi women were held by militias, subjected to sexual slavery, and allowed to live so that they would die of sadness.

Gregory H. Stanton, president of Genocide Watch said that genocide is a process that develops in eight stages, and that at each stage, preventive measures can stop the genocide. The eight stages are: (1) Classification – all cultures have categories to distinguish people into “us and them” and in the case of Rwanda by ethnicity.
(2) Symbolization – where we give names or other symbols to the classifications, e.g. “Jews” or “Gypsies”, or “Cockroaches in Rwanda. (3) Dehumanization – One group denies the humanity of the other group-hate radio and propaganda in print media were used to vilify the Tutsis. (4) Organization – the government organized, trained, armed and used militias to carry out the killing of Tutsis.

(5) Polarization – where hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda. In Rwanda Tutsi were targeted, extremists intimidated and silenced hutu moderates. (6) Preparation – All Tutsis were identified (all Rwandans had to carry an identity card that showed which ethnic group they belonged to), death lists were drawn up. (7) Extermination – Extermination began as soon as the plane carrying the President was shot down by extremists, government soldiers and police worked with militias to do the killing. Note that the constitution prohibited Tutsis from the military. The killing was very well organized, and over a million Tutsis were killed in three months. (8) Denial – the last stage and always follows genocide. The perpetrators of the genocide are still killing the survivors, and intimidating witnesses. Most of them do not accept that they have committed any crimes, and often Tutsis are blamed on what happened to them.

The United Nations has recognized the genocide of Tutsi in Rwanda, and will always observe one minute of silence in memory of the victims of the genocide each year.

Q. Could something like this happen again somewhere in the world? What could we do to stop it?

A. Yes, something like this could happen again. Jews were exterminated in 1940s, Tutsis were killed in 1959, 1961, 1963, 1972, 1990, and 1994. Genocide is being committed right now in Darfur.

In 1994, all the devils were in Rwanda and the whole world ignored what was happening in Rwanda. President Clinton went to Rwanda and apologized for not doing anything to prevent the genocide.

Preventing genocide has to be both collective and individual responsibility. Governments, media, and every one of us have a responsibility. Could it happen again? Will the US and other European countries act? I really do not have a definite answer. Elie Wiesel said that: “… to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all…”

I hope that my people who died did not die in vain. I hope that their deaths had impact on everyone’s conscience and maybe all of us will do much better in the future.

Q. Do you think Americans truly understand what happened there in 1994?

A. I do not know. All I know is that human stakes matter for America. I am not sure if everyone understands the meaning of what happened in Rwanda in 1994. I do not know if everyone understands the Holocaust, nor do I believe that all of us have any idea of what’s happening in Darfur.

Q. What do you tell your children of the genocide? And how do they remember it?

A. The oldest one knows about the genocide and what happened to our lost loved ones, but I still have to tell the little ones. I do not know how, when and what to tell them.

ENMU Student Representing U.S in Special Olympics Story and photo by Roma Vivas Communication Services "Why me out of every male athlete in the country? Now I just feel blessed.” – Terrance Orgain

Eastern New Mexico University computer science major Terrance Orgain, 22, is one of two members selected to represent the U.S. in track in the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games hosted in Shanghai, China, in early October. The event will mark the first time the World Summer Games will be in Asia, and only the second time they will be held outside the United States. In addition to some 7,000 athletes, Special Olympics expect to draw thousands of volunteers, spectators and media. The Carlsbad native, who is on the Eastern track team, heard the news about his participation in the Olympics from his mother, who he said is very proud of his accomplishments. “I felt very nervous when I heard the news last year; I thought to myself, ‘Why me out of every male athlete in the country?’ Now I just feel blessed.”

He was selected because of his achievements in track in New Mexico and his outstanding participations in national Special Olympics. Terrance will face four days of grueling training in the hot Nashville summer sun to prepare for the big event.

The work-study student in the Golden Library's Media Services will participate in the 200-meter and 400-meter individual events and in several relay competitions. “I hope to get a good partner for the relay competition,” the budding track star joked about the relay competition.

Terrance, who transferred from ENMU-Roswell, says his training at Eastern has been key to his development as a trackster. “I love my job and classes at Eastern, but training for the track competition is what I love the most," he said.

His attitude toward the sport is very laid back; his main goal is to enjoy it as much as possible. “I don’t care if I win or lose as long as I am out there having fun; that is all that I am looking for,” he said.

The junior does not plan on stopping running anytime soon; he has practiced the sport for eight years and expects to have many years of running in his future. After graduating from Eastern, he also expects to continue his education with a master's in computer science.

On a personal note, he says aspires to get more "serious" with his girlfriend in Colorado Springs.

New Mexico Chief Justice to be Commencement Speaker

The Honorable Edward L. Chavez, Chief Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court, will be the commencement speaker at Eastern's May 12 ceremony in Greyhound Arena.

Born in Santa Fe, he has served on the New Mexico Supreme Court since 2003, becoming Chief Justice on Jan. 10, 2007.

Judge Chavez received his Juris Doctorate from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 1981. He teaches at UNM School of Law as an adjunct instructor in trial practice and evidence, and the National Institute of Trial Advocacy. Some of his recognitions include being listed in Best Lawyers in America, election as a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers which is limited to not more than one percent of attorneys practicing in any given state, and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, which is limited to not more than 500 attorneys from the United States. He is also an elected member of the American Law Institute. Judge Chavez will be featured in the upcoming Eastern Magazine.

Ginger's Safety Tip of the Month

Everyday Office Ergonomics

Good ergonomics fits the task to you rather than forcing you to adapt to the task. That means you work in a comfortable, natural position and avoid straining, overreaching and awkward movements that can lead to painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck tension, tendonitis and upper body aches and pains.

· When sitting at your workstation, your feet are flat on the floor. Your seat does not press against the back of your knees or lower legs.

· Your monitor is at eye level, straight ahead and at a distance at which you can read the screen without leaning forward or backward.

· When you type, your elbows are comfortably at your sides, each elbow at a right angle, and your forearms are parallel to the floor.

· Your work materials are within easy reach.

· Your keyboard is positioned so that key stroking can be performed with your wrists, hands, knuckles and fingers in a relaxed, natural or neutral position.

· You type gently.

· Your armrests do not interfere with your movement.

· You maintain good posture.

· When possible, vary your work activities to break from repetitive motions and constant work positions.

Outlook series - Display Nonconsecutive Dates in Outlook Calendar
The Microsoft Outlook Calendar displays dates consecutively—usually in single week or month view. But sometimes it is useful to see several nonconsecutive key dates at a glance. For example, if you met with the same client on January 12 and 19, March 31, and April 4, you might want to view those dates in a single pane, giving you easy access to meeting summaries, attachments, and lists of attendees.
To view nonconsecutive dates:
• On the right side of the window in the Date Navigator (the small calendar that displays the current month), click the first date you want to view.
• While holding down the CTRL key, click any other dates you want to view. (To remove a date, click it again.)
Note: You can display up to 14 nonconsecutive days!

PowerPoint series - Shortcut Keys
During a PowerPoint slide show, use the following shortcuts to make your presentation run smoothly:

Kayla Available for Adoption
Contact: Renee V. Fitts Foster and Adoptive Parent Recruiter NM Children, Youth and Families Department #4 Grand Avenue Plaza Roswell, NM 88201 505.624.6071 renee.fitts@state.nm.us	Kayla D. I am: 13 years old I am in: 7th Grade My favorite things to do: She very much enjoys arts and crafts activities and is very creative. My favorite foods: Chicken fingers from Dairy Queen. She also likes cooking New Mexican food at home with her foster mom. Kayla is a 13 year old, beautiful child who can be very social and outgoing. When motivated she is active and enjoys various activities. Kayla is quite articulate and likes to write in her journal. She very much enjoys arts and crafts activities and is very creative. It is important to Kayla that she receives much attention from her caregiver and needs to be reassured how much she means to her parent and is loved. Rules and consistency are a critical part of the home and family that will adopt Kayla. Kayla loves pets and hopes to have animals in her forever family. Kayla needs a strong parent that is able to give her lots of attention and love. At this time it is felt Kayla would do best in a single mom home with pets or a very strong two-parent home that can provide consistent boundaries and firm structure until Kayla feels like she really belongs. Kayla came into custody due to a history of neglect and multiple placements with relatives in her birth family. She is eligible for a subsidy and purchase of service. At this time due to Kayla's special needs, we are seeking only adoptive families that reside in New Mexico. RM
