December 2015
A WINTER’S TALE
It was the winter of 1966, and I was serving as press secretary to Governor David Francis Cargo. Frankie Mello, Darnell Lincoln, and I were heading home from Las Cruces in Darnell’s slick Chevy wagon. As members of the state’s Motor Vehicle Division, Frankie was its Deputy Director and Darnell, or “Linc” as we called him, was in charge of all the inspectors and vehicles. The pair had met as medics in Korea, and were still active in the Army Reserve. Frankie was a fire hydrant-sized, fun-loving rascal out of Angel Fire. Imagine Lou Costello, only with brains. Darnell was a chiseled Michelangelo statue of black granite. His family ties went back to the Buffalo Soldiers; his forebears rode with Black Jack Pershing. His mom and dad were retired reservation-based schoolteachers. They taught back in the day when African-Americans with a fistful of diplomas had a better chance of being struck by lightning than landing a job teaching off-reservation tots. But there they were. We’d gone south for some state work, and to do some Christmas shopping in El Paso and in Juarez. It was getting dark as we bent the speed limit north of Socorro, the Chevy loaded up with gifts for everyone in our families. The three of us went over the line on baby stuff—I had a new infant at home, and Frankie and Darnell had cherub-sized nieces and nephews. Darnell even bough a truck battery for his brother in-law. We were anxious to get home, to make that long stretch along I-25 fly by as quickly as possible. Frankie was up front, fiddling with the built-in two way and chattering with state troopers and dispatchers, when all of a sudden out of the radio speakers came a crackled voice, saying, “We got a problem here . . .” The voice belonged to a state trooper, who, it turns out, had also served in the Reserves with Frankie and Darnell. The trooper, knowing Frankie and Darnell were also G.I. medics, told us there was a young girl in Belen who was going into severe labor pains. She needed help, like, now. “We could lose her, and the baby,” he said. As we were rolling into the outskirts of Belen, the trooper was rapping to Frankie a mile a minute—in both English and Spanish—giving Frankie directions: “It’s a young woman and her husband; it’s their first kid.
Both speak little English. There’s a lot of panic.” Apparently, the young couple had been taking care of this shabby goat-ranch-farmhabitat for a few dollars a month, out of which they had to feed the goats, and keep whatever was left over for themselves. They had no phone, of course; the husband ran to the neighbors for help, who called the state trooper. Then the husband lit a bonfire by the side of the road Now, I’m dying if I’m lying, we were there in three minutes. We even beat the trooper. While Frankie started talking to the daddy-to-be in Spanish, Darnell was in the cramped bedroom with the mommy-to-be. While my two buddies were making like midwives and I was taking inventory of the sad, sad surroundings, I heard the sound of car tires ripping up snow-crusted dirt and gravel. The trooper had arrived. We exchanged “que pasa’s,” I gave him a thumbs-up, and he was off and spinning away. It was just moments when I heard the squeak of a tiny soul, and out came the young papa holding a wee infant boy . . . followed by a smiling five-foot, eight-inch leprechaun, and a six-foot, three-inch gladiator, wiping his brow with a floral-print hand towel. Frankie told the new dad what to do and said the trooper would send a doctor out in the next day or two. Then he asked him if the couple had wheels. Just an old pickup, said the dad, but no battery—and no money to buy one. Frankie looked at Darnell, Darnell looked at me. We looked at each other. Then Darnell said, “I’ll back the wagon up to the door. You guys can unload. Get me the battery out of the back.” It took us longer to unload the wagon than it did for Darnell to deliver the baby. When we hit the road, we began to see the lights of Albuquerque. It was Christmas Eve. It was cold, it was dark. On the radio, Christmas music was playing. No one was talking. “Frankie,” I said, “I never got her name, or his for that matter.” “His name’s Jose. Hers is Maria.” It got real quiet again. We were taking inventory. Three wise guys, each of us out a hundred in cash we’d stuffed into Jose’s pockets, plus all the gifts left behind, all sitting in a tired and tattered little farmhouse outside Belen. But it was okay. I could see Darnell’s eyes glistening in the rear view mirror when he said, “Makes you feel real good, man, real good.” Then I asked, “Frankie, does Belen mean anything in English?” “Yeah,” he said, laying his head back and closing his eyes, “it means Bethlehem.”

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD Friday, December 4, at 7pm
Beginning with their raucous reception at the Atlanta Pop festival in 1969, Grand Funk Railroad embarked on a musical trip that has touched fans from around the world for over four decades. Citing power rock trios such as Cream as influences, the band was almost immediately signed by Capitol records following the festival. That same year their first album, On Time, was an instant hit, earning gold record status by the following year with over a million copies sold. In February 1971 a second album, Grand Funk (aka “The Red Album”), was also awarded gold record status. David Fricke of Rolling Stone has said that you can’t talk about rock and roll in the 1970s without talking about the contributions made by Grand Funk. In fact, following a reunion in 1996 of the three original members (the band broke up from 1983 to 1995), Grand Funk played to over 250,000 people in 14 shows over a three-month period. And it isn’t just the fans that have kept the flame alive. In 1999 members Don Brewer and Mel Schacher recruited some of the best names in rock and roll to play with them on tour, including lead vocalist Max Carl (of 38 Special), former Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick, and keyboardist Tim Cashion (Bob Seger, Robert Palmer). Don’t miss the excitement of this 21–and-older event on Friday, December 4. Tickets are on sale now and a limited number of hotel/concert packages are available by calling 1-877-475-3827.
Grand Funk Railroad hit singles “Inside Looking Out” “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” “Feelin’ Alright” “Gimme Shelter” “We’re an American Band”
JOSH TURNER
Sunday, December 13, at 7pm A lot of new young male county music singers have appeared on the scene over the past decade, but only a handful of them stand out as truly great artists with the potential staying power to become legendary country music artists. Josh Turner’s deep, resonating voice is instantly recognizable, thanks to a string of chart toppers like “Long Black Train,” “Your Man,” “Would You Go with Me,” “Firecracker,” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance.” Named by People magazine as one of country music’s hottest stars, Turner is one of the youngest members of the distinguished Grand Ole Opry. He also is the youngest member to be inducted into Nashville’s Walk of Fame. Mighty hefty achievements for a singer that is only in his thirties. As a passionate supporter of music and the arts, Turner has launched the Josh Turner Fund to award annual musical scholarships to help up-and-coming artists better succeed in their endeavors. The good news for his fans is that he is also passionate about performing onstage. He not only loves his profession but also
“Walk Like a Man” “The Loco-Motion” “Some Kind of Wonderful” “Bad Time”
loves playing live. With his rich voice, an exceptional band, and a wealth of hit songs, this award-winning singer has become one of country music’s most engaging performers. Come hear him serenade the crowd at Isleta Resort & Casino on December 13. For more information, visit www.isleta.com

PLAYERS STAMPEDE TO NEW BUFFALO GRAND SLOT Here’s a question, slot players: Who among us hasn’t played one of Aristocrat’s Buffalo machines at least once? Odds are those who answer “no” are few and far between. Who can resist taking a chance at getting into a buffalo stampede and watching those credits ring up big time? In fact, given the fun playing experience, Buffalo just may be the penny slot of choice for many slot enthusiasts. After it was introduced about six years ago, Buffalo quickly became one of the hottest games on casino floors nationwide, and it remains just as popular today. The eye-catching stampede of buffalos, snorting smoke and rampaging full speed ahead while leaving a cloud of dust in their wake, is difficult to resist. The game is also very volatile, meaning that you must be prepared to endure periods of losing while waiting for the buffalos to line up across the pay lines for a big score. It’s every player’s goal to collect three or more gold coins on a spin in the base game to enter the free spins bonus round when the wild “sunrise” symbols morph into multipliers, creating an opportunity for a significant hit. Once you’re in the bonus round, two or more gold coins on any spin net you some more spins. If the

reels roll your way you can be in for a real treat, sitting back and watching your credits build. The dream result is to collect as many of the raging buffalo symbols as possible left to right across the video grid. Fill the first three columns with at least one buffalo symbol and you’ll hear an audio voice warning “Buffalo!” The symbols at this point come alive in video animation of stampeding animals. Aristocrat, which continues to capitalize on the huge success of Buffalo, recently unveiled a new variation of the game, called Buffalo Grand. The play and iconic Buffalo slot pay line symbols are pretty much left unchanged. The eagle and cougar, among other wildlife, still create the most lucrative pay lines. What is new with Buffalo Grand is Aristocrat’s revolutionary Arc Double Cabinet and “ichair,” which create a surround sound gaming experience unlike anything slot players have ever felt. The space-age-style slot features a giant concave screen with dual 42-inch LCD displays and HD graphics that make this encounter with the mighty buffalo truly bigger than life. The Buffalo Grand has the standard bet and line buttons we have come to
expect of all video slots, but also features optional touch-screen display that is sure to appeal to some players, as well as added features and bonuses, a jackpot multiplier, and the chance to win up to 50 free games. Another added attraction is a 4 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 4 reel set that eliminates the customary pay lines and in its place awards a minimum and maximum number of credits per spin through Aristocrat’s Xtra Reel Power game features. With a 75-credit minimum bet (that’s 75 cents on a penny game) Buffalo Grand has this added incentive: four progressive jackpot prizes that build as the machine is played, including a Mini-Jackpot, Minor Jackpot, Major Jackpot, and Super Jackpot that resets at a life-changing $500,000. Look for Buffalo Grand to join the other games in this amazing franchise in the near future at a casino near you.

Dear Mark: I have asked around, but nobody can give me a direct answer. If you get a taxable jackpot, will an expired driver’s license be sufficient as an ID? Mary P. Whether someone wins $1,200 or $1.2 million, an ID is required for tax purposes because Uncle Sam always claims a piece of the action. Thus, ca-
sinos today require proper and current identification (driver’s license, state-issued ID, military ID, or passport), with a photo, before they pay out any winnings. If you can take an airplane flight with your ID, then it will probably be valid enough to claim your jackpot. Which means, Mary, neither your Costco card nor an expired driver’s license is going to cut it. But don’t despair. If your good fortune lines up three treasure chests, and you cannot produce a valid form of identification, the windfall is still yours. The casino will photograph you and hold your loot
in the cashier’s cage until you come back with some bona fide ID. Likewise, when the casino examines your identification it makes sure you are legally of age to play. The minimum age for gambling varies from state to state, but under-age gamblers will not be paid if they hit a jackpot. Besides being the law in all gaming jurisdictions, denial of a jackpot to a minor has been challenged and upheld in the courts. Since a minor cannot claim a jackpot, or dish it off to someone of age to split it with later (the eye in the sky is always watching), the jackpot is never paid and the illegitimate winnings are added to the casino’s revenue. Besides producing a valid photo ID, you will also be asked by the casino for a valid social security or tax identification number. If you decide, “Forget that, I’ve got my rights,” then plan on 25–30 percent of your winnings being withheld, depending on whether the jackpot is more or less than $5,000. So while an expired driver’s license will be your roadblock when collecting your jackpot, your money still awaits you at the cashier’s cage—a quick trip to the DMV for a license renewal should solve your problem.
