Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday February 5, 1992 ground The Hat by Doris Valle At this point I welcome a nice golden glow of sun no matter where or when I see it. There were days when 1 was never going to see anything but that misI thought erable gray which covered the area and, smothered my Whats that term I - think, spirit. joie do vivre? Joy of living. I cant seem to find any when long gray days drag. So come on sunshine. I wont start whining about how hot it is until at least the end of July. All I did was get annoyed by fog, snow, and ice. Lots of people really had it One day Taylor rough. Black managed to four wheel through the snow out to his grandmothers house, Iris Kaytso, in I)rv Wood wash. Iris is 90 years old.

Both sides of the icine Man Howard Black, Sr., was conducting a ceremony when he slipped on the ice and fractured a hip, which was repaired at the hospital in Tuba. Mary Lou Yazzies little girl was rushed off to Tuba with bronchitis, which was in the mood to go into pneumonia. The second most exciting news in the area is a planned talent search to be conducted by the movie company which is to film Tony Hillermans book, Thief of Time. According to the lady who called me, they want to use Native Americans to act the parts of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. I assured her we have lots of talented potential and they Leaphorn-Chees- , for will line up inspection the time lady and her any crew want to come our way. The first most exciting news is the arrival of the new owners of Lees Ranch, Gail Goeken and Lee Dick. They are here briefly to be- present channel would be gin general cleanup work, and make their plans for extensive work on the A I ! Page ranchhouse. No, they dont use the term remodel. Well probably build another room on the back, said Goeken. And we will be installing solar panels, but we wont change the basic structure in any way. The two men are from Sarasota, Florida, where they owmed businesses dealing in antiques and home furnishings. Before I met them, I had wondered how city people would deal with our back country. But after only a few minutes of exposure to their warm enthusiasm about this country and the ranch, I feel certain Lees ranch is in good hands. They are beginning a labor of love which will, I think, one day result in the very special home that the Lees saw only in their dreams in 1935. They already have learned things about Mexican Hat and its surroundings that I didnt know after years. They showed me a BLM map which indicates land on each side of the San Juan river which has been condemned by the federal government in case there is ever a need to build a dam 17 along the waterway. Ac- cording to the map, most of flooded toward the north, up into the Comb Wash area north of the highway. The BLM map also indicates that there is land in the Valley of the Gods which could be purchased. Only nobody knows what process one would go through to do so. The Perkins family has land in the area but there are two other parcels which are privately owned. The County Recorder doesnt know by whom. No title has ever been recorded. Fm considHmmm . ering taking my tent out there. I will set it up and sit in it and become a Squatter on one of those unidentified owner plots, and one day I . . will build my own little house in that peaceful and serene land known as the Valley of the Gods.
