At 10:09am on July 23rd, 2008, Kaatje said…: Hi Bonnie, thanks for the very interesting article on the Navajo Casino. I love this quote from one of the builders: "I won't let any skinwalkers, witchcraft, Godless people try to stop what we are doing," Yazzie said. And boy the Navajo Nation really deserves to make more money, maybe they can finally dig those 22 feet deep water wells for the 50% of households (out of roughly 30,000 on the Res) without water, which we calculated because most Navajo reside above a huge aquifer, the San Juan Basin. - Kaatje

At 9:55pm on April 27th, 2008, Kaatje said…: Hi again!

UNM is such a disaster for wheelchairs. There is one graduate student who has been waiting for 3 or 4 years for the Committee to approve a 300 dollar door adjustment so he can get in and out of his lab at the BMSB Building. They have a completely incompetent North Campus "Disability Coordinator" who knows nothing and does nothing for physically disabled students, only for learning disabilities.

There is a Parking and Planning Coordinator who send me threatening emails when I insisted of finding me a storage space for my electric disability scooter on North Campus. She also designed the new handicap parking spots near the new Domenici Center with the ramp to the building facing the other way so you have to practically go around the building. The nearest Handicap Parking to the BMSB Building is 620 feet away with badly maintained concrete (which is where I have fallen so often). There is no access or a parking pass for disabled students who do clinical rotations at UNMH where also, most handicap spots are taken by non-handicapped people.

Because of all the building around Surge, there are NO parking spots and as I mentioned before, the on-ramp has been turned into another money making rental private spot (1400/year). I even asked the coordinator if I could rent a parking spot and she said no. I spend 1.5 years getting to school at an ungodly hour and always tired because if not all handicap spots were taken, most by people who do NOT need it.

f you know of anyone if power who can do something more, please let me know.

Gracias, Kaatje

At 9:43pm on April 27th, 2008, Kaatje said…: Another lengthy comment from me Bonnie! I'm a UNM student in a manual Ti-Lite and have fallen out of my chair 3 times due to maintenance problems on the North Campus, and I am not surprised about this turn of events.

The new Domenici Center has such steep inclines that it is often hard to take in a manual, the "accessible" bath rooms do not have an electric door (but feature $100,000 dollars of artwork, this is called Value Engineering) and the only ramp in front of the Surge building to get from the main road on the curb has been turned into a N-74 parking spot for rent..

Also, all the "wheelchair only" Handicap Parking spots are always taken by young students who are using their dead grandma's placard, and security or parking will not enforce the law. Eh..Murderball (the awesome documentary), anyone?
