“I think journalism is a great way to do public service, to have an impact on your community.” 

~ Bob Schieffer

Normally you would see Scott Michlin interviewing our community members, but today the roles are reversed. Join Jamie and Addie as they talk to Scott about his many years of public service through broadcast journalism and sharing his talents at fundraising events from Dancing with the Farmington Stars to the Mayor’s Ball. 

You can hear his iconic voice daily at KSJE 90.9 FM. Remember to support the San Juan College radio station at the annual Zero Mile Fun Run on May 20.

“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.” ~Agnes de Mille

Today’s episode of Over a Cup of Coffee is all about the dance. Dancing offers physical health while providing relief from stress. Join Jamie and Addie with their guest Jaccinda Moffat as she shares her love of dancing.

Team Guardian spent 51 days rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean bringing awareness to first responder suicide. First responders are more likely to die by suicide rather than in the line of duty. Police officers have the third highest suicide rate among occupations and firefighters are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide compared to the public.

Regardless of your occupation or place in life, a variety of mental health conditions can lead to suicide. Join us with our guests, Mark Pfetzer and Jarrod Slindee from Guardian Initiatives as we discuss this important topic to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” ~ John F. Kennedy

In this first episode of the third season of Over a Cup of Coffee, Jamie and Addie talk about change. The scenery changes while on the path of life. Accept those things that you cannot change. Keep an open mind while moving forward, while holding on to your values. 

Ever since I was a child, I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential. ~Bruce Lee

Today on Over a Cup of Coffee, Jamie and Addie discuss all things “Chile” with restaurateur Monica Shultz from The Chile Pod. 

“It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.” ~Theodore Roosevelt

Reinvention is the topic of this episode of “Over a Cup of Coffee” and coincidently the theme of the 2022 Four Corners Professional Women’s Summit coming to the Farmington Civic Center on October 12 & 15.

According to the Summit’s website (professionalwomens-summit.com), job loss, divorce, and unexpected medical bills can cause financial devastation. But this is only a setback. You can recover with a little financial know-how and a plan. Speakers will share their experiences of why and how they embarked on a journey of reinvention. Registration deadline is September 30.

Today on Over a Cup of Coffee:

Jamie and Addie visit with Laura Walters Harper who wrote and produced the film “Rambo of the Carracas Mesa: A History of the Jicarilla Mustangs and Mustangers.”

Harper tells the story of her once-wild mustang, Rambo. His lineage, identified through DNA, dates nearly 500 years to the Spanish Conquistador movement through New Mexico and his heritage to the Iberian Peninsula of Europe. His life, just east of Navajo Lake, includes the history of the families that lived in the area before the completion of the dam in 1962.

The San Juan County Historical Society will present the film premiere of “Rambo of the Carracas Mesa: A History of the Jicarilla Mustangs and Mustangers” at the Farmington Civic Center on Saturday, July 16th at 5:30.

“Every day, first responders put their own lives on the line to ensure our safety. The least we can do is make sure they have the tools to protect and serve their communities.” ~Joe Lieberman

Our “Over a Cup of Coffee” guests today are Mark Pfetzer and Jarrod Slindee. As law enforcement officers with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, Mark and Jarrod spend their days protecting our citizens, however, their non-profit organization, Guardian Initiatives, assists first responders with their mental health needs. 

To bring awareness to the mental health needs of first responders, Mark and Jarrod will be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, with their third rowing partner, Mike Houge. Follow them to learn more about their initiative and root them on in December as they embark on their 3000-mile rowing journey.
