Walking across America By Karen Boehler For the Ruidoso Free Press ALONG U.S. 380 – If you drove on Highway 70 from Hondo to Ruidoso last week, or anywhere along U.S. 380, you might have noticed a lanky, bearded man walking west along the side of those roads. Maybe you waved as you passed by, or stopped to see if he needed any help. Or maybe you were the person who hosted him for a night in Ruidoso, the motel operator who put him up in Carrizozo, or the restauranteur who served him a meal. If so, you got a glimpse of a nearly seven-year project that sees Dan Knabb walking across America. He’s not doing it for fame or glory. He’s not doing it to raise money for a cause. Asked, why he’s doing it, “I don’t really like to answer that question because people are looking for an easy an-

swer,” he said. “I guess the easiest way to put it is I just wanted an adventure.” He began his walk April 19, 2007, in Atlantic Highlands, N.J., and until December of that year, the 22-year-old slowly made his way toward California. A standup comedian by trade, he picked roads that went through cities that had comedy clubs, which took him along older highways, such as Routes 30 and 40, then – from St. Louis on – old Route 66. “Kind of all over the place,” he said. He financed the trip from money he’d saved, donations from parents and relatives and cash gifts along the way. But those first seven months were walked alone. Although he met people along the way, he was carrying See WALKING, pg. A3 RY! LUXU

Fox Cave embarks on dinosaur park By Erik LeDuc Reporter erik@ruidosofreepress.com Fox Cave is expanding yet again, this time moving forward on a purely recreational endeavor - a dinosaur park and system of walking trails anticipated to meander across about 50 acres behind the historic retail site. “It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” said Arnold Duke, owner of the business. “I think it will complete the cave project - we really want to put that cave on the map and make it a major attraction for people to come and see.” The cave is certainly more visible than it used to be, as workers wrestled the near-lifesized replicas into position alongside the highway, accompanying a buffalo statue and larger-than-life cowboy that have been in place for a time. The truck is the first among many more to come, and dinosaurs won’t be the only large cargo delivered, Duke added. “There are some trails there now, but they’re a little bit rough,” he said. “We’ve just purchased the largest backhoe we can buy, and we’ll be moving some earth.”

A trio of sculptors, scattered around the states, are working on many more models - some to scale, some full-sized - to be installed along the trails as work continues - workers should be starting on the major earthworks next week as the backhoe comes in, he said. When finished, it still won’t be the easiest trail - “we’ll make a better, cleaner and easier path to navigate through our land,” he said. “It may not be for everyone, but for those that are able to do it, I think it will be a great experience - kids are going to love it. Dinosaurs don’t go out of style.” Duke added that there will be several styles of animatronic dinosaurs as well - some will blink and sway its head, others will breathe and a few will walk - there’s even a riding model being constructed, he said. “They’ll have full movement and noise.” While there is no set date on the project’s completion, Duke invited visitors to stop by and check out the cave’s growing herd of saurians, as well as other activities and gifts in Fox Cave. “It may take a year to See FOX CAVE, pg.

Quarter’s owner Dean Fowler and another employee separated Foust and McCoy after the fight, which began at about 3 p.m. and made no effort to contain his disdain of the situation and both men involved in the incident. “What both of them did was stupid and I detest the grave danger they put the patrons of this establishment in. As far as I’m concerned both of them should be in jail,” Fowler said. Fowler contends this incident does not reflect on the regular atmosphere of his place of business nor are the two men involved a positive reflection of the Ruidoso community. “These are two bad apples who through their Eugene Heathman/Ruidoso Free Press stupidity carelessly endangered The powder burn is evident on Billy McCoy’s face innocent people’s lives.

WALKING from pg. A1 everything he needed – 50 pounds – in a backpack on his back. “It was every step I was taking I was carrying a third of my body weight, and it was chafing from the shoulder straps. The weight of it would make me fall down some times. It was a burden, to have to carry that thing everywhere.” He also had to time his days to find a motel or RV park to stop at, otherwise he would camp along the side of the road. “I was 22 at the time, so a lot more ambitious then,” he said. “I think I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. I was just so determined to get across the country that I walked.” But he got sick in Oklahoma – despite that, a state he said is his favorite so far – and when he reached Lubbock, he stopped. “Based on some of the experiences I had in Texas, like one day running out of water and having to flag down cars for water, and just basically knowing that New Mexico and Arizona would be more desolate than Texas, I decided that I didn’t want to continue on without some sort of support driver.” So, he put off the journey and went home to Pennsylvania. He moved to California for two years to try to sell a documentary of the walk and try his hand at standup. Eventually, he moved back to Pennsylvania, finished his college degree and worked to raise money to resume the trip. “It was basically like I didn’t go out. I didn’t spend money on anything. I just accumulated and saved up so I could walk this year,” he said. And he tried to find someone who would be his support driver, helping him out through the wide open spaces of the west. Although several folks expressed interest, it wasn’t until he asked, Matt Lewis,

Rubber side, not down

Eugene Heathman/Ruidoso Free Press

The driver of this light pickup had the ride of his life Monday afternoon after losing control of the vehicle then sliding through a light pole. Narrowly escaping serious injury, the driver of this truck walked away from a collision with a light pole at the intersection of Highway 70 and Sudderth Drive Monday afternoon. After losing control of his southbound truck at approximately 4 p.m., the vehicle skidded into the curb while approaching the intersection, flipped on its side and collided with a light pole. The light pole lay across Highway 70 during Ruidoso’s peak Monday afternoon rush hour, snarling traffic as police officers and fire department personnel directed traffic during the investigation.

Motorcycle crash in Lincoln County kills one On Wednesday, Oct. 2, at approximately 6:30 p.m. New Mexico State Police responded to the scene of a single motorcycle crash near State Road 368, mile post 11 in Arabela. New Mexico State Police determined that a 2009 Honda motorcycle was traveling south bound on SR 368. For an unknown reason, the motorcycle crossed the south bound

lane into the north bound lane coming out of a curb. The motorcycle went off the north bound shoulder and collided into some trees and large rocks. The driver, Donald Stevenson,49, of Arabela, was ejected from the motorcycle and killed. Mr. Stevenson was not wearing a helmet. Alcohol is not considered a factor in this crash.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wood exchange success

My husband and I would like to express our thanks for the wood exchange and to those who organized this program. Unfortunately, we had to cut and/or have cut approximately 41 trees on our property. We were concerned about how to get the downed trees off our property. Through the wood exchange, we were able to have approximately 10 cords of wood removed by 5 different families. The program certainly was of benefit to us, as well as those families who will not have to purchase wood this year. Linda Currin (Mike), Ruidoso

DVAM October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time when every person should consider what she or he can do to help end the epidemic of domestic violence that plagues our county and our nation.

The statistics are staggering. In the United States, nearly one--third of American women (31 percent) report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Each year, over 1300 women - more than three women per day - are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Lincoln County has long been at the top of the list of counties in New Mexico with the highest rate of domestic violence, per capita. That is a shameful thing to be known for. As your local State Representative, I am committed to working to end domestic violence. During every legislative session, we work hard to ensure that funding continues to those most vulnerable in Lincoln County and the rest of the state. On the Judiciary Committee in the New Mexico legislature, we frequently consider potential legislation that may alleviate the burden of domestic violence in our communities. I have an established relationship in supporting Help End Abuse for Life (HEAL), located in Ruidoso Downs, and strongly believe in their exceptional services to survivors of domestic violence and their children. Domestic violence is everyone’s business. Abuse affects everyone in our community and we must all come together to stop this epidemic. If you are a victim of domestic violence, help is available. In our community, call HEAL at 866--378--3775. This is a toll--free crisis hotline that is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Please feel free to contact me. I always enjoy hearing from you. My email address is zachjcook@gmail.com Zach Cook State Representative

How to treat for Bark Beetles By Dawn Fluharty Northwestern Regional Technical Manager dfluharty@arborjet.com There are numerous species of Ips and Dendroctonus, commonly called bark beetles, which infest conifers throughout North America. Adults tunnel through the bark, mate, and lay eggs in the phloem (inner bark). The larvae develop in the phloem and cambial region. Pupal development is completed in the outer bark. Adults develop from pupae and emerge by boring out through the bark. Larval feeding interrupts the tree’s ability to move water and nutrients within the host tree. Several species also introduce a fungus into the tree which further inhibits the vascular system. Common species of Pine Bark Beetles include Mountain Pine Beetle, Western Pine Beetle, Southern Pine Beetle, Ips Engraver Beetles, and Spruce Beetles.

What do Bark Beetles look like?

Bark beetles themselves are typically small, 3-4mm long with cylindrical bodies. Because they are so hard to spot on the trees, it’s best to look for other signs of infestation, especially pitch tubes. Pitch tubes are “popcorn-shaped masses of resin” (USFS) that indicate a tree is trying to push the insects out. Other symptoms of infestation include: reddish boring dust, adult exit holes, woodpecker damage, and yellowing foliage. The beetles commonly attack drought stressed trees. High numbers of attacks to trees are possible, which can result in extensive vascular injury and ultimately, tree death. Trees infested with bark beetles will gradually turn brown, defoliate, and die.

Host material & range

Because bark beetles are part of a large family of insects, the host tree range is wide. Generally speaking, bark beetles attack conifers. These beetles attack mainly pine trees, including the Loblolly, Lodgepole, Pinyon, Pitch, Ponderosa, Scotch, Shortleaf, Slash, and Virginia varieties. These varieties of pine can be found all over the western and southern United States. Spruce trees can also be affected.

Current threat

Currently, Mountain Pine Beetle has reached epidemic levels in Colorado, reducing many of the native pine forests to standing deadwood. The formerly lush green mountainsides of the Rockies are now reddish-brown or gray due to the devastation of this insect. Not only does Mountain Pine Beetle do its own damage by restricting water and nutrient flow within the host tree, but it can also act as a vector for Bluestain Fungus, a deadly infection. There are products on the market to treat for a beetle infestation, but there is no available treatment for Bluestain Fungus. While Mountain Pine Beetle does its damage in the Rockies of Colorado, Western Pine Beetle is most damaging in California, but its range extends northward into Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and southern British Columbia; eastward into Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas; and southward into northwestern Mexico (USFS). Meanwhile, Southern Pine Beetle has been found as far north as New Jersey and

Pennsylvania, though it is found south to Florida and west to Texas. Isolated pockets have been found in New Mexico and Arizona. To date, Southern Pine Beetle is the most devastating tree pest found in the South, having caused $900 million in damage from 1960-1990 (Price et a1. 1992).

Treatment for Bark Beetles

Research studies using TREE-äge® Insecticide (containing 4% Emamectin Benzoate) have demonstrated great results against conifer bark beetles, depending on the pest species targeted (labeled species include Ips Engraver Beetles, Mountain Pine Beetle, Southern Pine Beetle, Spruce Beetle, and Western Pine Beetle). You can expect TREE-äge to be systemically distributed throughout the treated tree and protect the tree from the pest for up to 2 years.1,2 TREE-äge is designed for use with tree injection devices that meet the label and dose requirements (for example, the Arborjet TREE I.V.) for the control of listed pests of trees. Follow manufacturer’s directions for equipment use.

Injection tips

Resinous Conifers: In resinous conifers, such as pine and spruce, start the injection immediately after drilling into the sapwood. A prolonged delay may reduce uptake on account of resin flow into opening. Placement of Injection Sites: Inject at the base of the tree. Inject into the stem within 12” of the soil, into the trunk or root flares. Make applications into intact, healthy sapwood. Do not inject into injured areas or areas with decay. Select injection sites associated with stem growth. Number of Injection Sites: Work around the tree, spacing injection sites approximately every 4 inches of tree’s circumference. Drill Depth: Drill through the bark then 5/8” to 1-5/8” into the sapwood with the appropriate sized drill bit. Use clean, sharp drill bits. Brad point bits are recommended. Precautions should be taken to avoid diseased areas and transferring infected tissues to other injection sites.

COCKY FROM from pg. A4 moments I’d ever endured chorally. As the introductory music began for one selection, the conductor slowly dropped his hands. All of us wondered what was happening, and assumed the accompanist would stop playing. She didn’t. She was his daughter (-and my good friend). She saw this one coming. And so, our conductor directed the piece entirely with his eyes. Keep in mind that solos were always mysteries, that he never did anything the same way twice, and that he delighted in our discomfort. If he raised an eyebrow or if he glared, if he closed his eyes ever so slightly or bore holes through our souls during those few moments, we riveted our attention. No one dared looked at anything else. Focused? Absolutely. One purpose? Only one. Survival? Barely. Each of us knew we’d be singing an unintended solo if we weren’t glued to his every movement. He never had any trouble again in the you’re-not-watching-me department. I was cured. He also became as dear as a dad to me. Last weekend, the Consort’s conductor

had their full attention. He didn’t seem to have a problem with smug singers like me. Their one goal was to follow the conductor – and he made them blend and sound spectacular. My favorite conductor is still alive, living in San Diego, recently retired for the third time and still occasionally conducts groups. He taught me lessons I’ve never forgotten. And I wonder. With the lack of focus, lack of singular purpose and the traffic jam on both sides of the aisle, how long would it take for my conductor to whip Washington into shape? How about Ruidoso? Could legislators find one focus, one reason for pulling a tax-payer-funded-paycheck, namely; the well-being of American citizens? It seems that there are too many wanna-be-soloists in politics who don’t mind the singular attention. There are times you can’t cure cocky. Hopeless when it comes to still chewing gum while she sings, Sue can be reached at suehutch1958@gmail.com

Dems present ACA launch Laws tighten for financial abuse The October Democratic Party meeting took place Oct. 3 at the “Heart of the Raven,” 415 12th Street in Carrizozo, which included discussion of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, the “Be Well NM” website and the Affordable Health Care Act expanded by Governor Susanna Martinez to benefit New Mexicans and employers. Attendees learned how individuals, employers and tribal members can get questions answered and apply for affordable Health Insurance in New Mexico. This year Governor Susanna Martinez decided to expand Medicaid to cover many uninsured New Mexicans. Governor Martinez stated: “It means expanding the health care safety net to more of those in need and moving care from costly emergency rooms into primary-care offices,” she continued, “and it does not jeopardize the state’s long-term budget outlook. In fact, given our unique population and programs, we can expect revenue increases that offset the cost of providing these services.” The New Mexico Health Insurance Organization (http://www.healthinsurance.org) states: “New Mexico has settled on a unique approach to its health insurance marketplace. For individuals seeking health insurance, the state will operate Be Well New Mexico in partnership with the federal government. Small businesses will shop for health insurance on a state-run exchange. New Mexico’s path to establishing an exchange has also been atypical. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican who opposes the federal health reform law, has been the driving force in establish-

ing an exchange and advocating for the state-run model. Martinez designated that the Health Insurance Alliance develop the state exchange. The Health Insurance Alliance is a nonprofit association of health plans created by the state Legislature in 1994 to offer health insurance coverage to small employers. In mid-March, the Senate and House both approved a state-run exchange.” New Mexico expects 200,000 people to purchase insurance through the exchange. According to Kaiser’s statehealthfacts.org, “417,000 New Mexicans — 21 percent of the population — are uninsured.”

NMHIX

The New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange (NMHIX) was created to help individuals, small-business owners and tribal members get affordable care for themselves, family members and employees. At the Be Well NM site, www.bewellnm.com, individuals and employers can be connected to a plan that meets their needs, fits their budget, helps to fill out forms and shows how to apply for financial assistance. Once covered by an NMHIX plan, those insured will have access to quality care. The NMHIX is a new way to find health coverage that meets specific needs and budgets of individuals, tribal members and employers with 50 employers or less and was created to help New Mexicans get affordable health care. The NMHIX covers the uninsured, people who can’t afford employer plans and those buying their own insurance but who want better options. NMHIX also covers owner of small businesses with 50 employees or fewer. Enrollment began Oct. 1, 2013. Coverage starts Jan. 1, 2014. From the site www.bewellnm.com: The exchange is described as: “The New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange (NMHIX) is here to give you access to quality health care like never before. We were created to cover the uninsured, people who can’t afford their employer plans and those buying their own insurance but want better options. We are also able to provide new coverage options to owners of small businesses with 50 employees or fewer. We offer a variety of health insurance plans from such popular commercial providers as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Lovelace, Molina, New Mexico Health Connections and see ACA pg. A7

Banks urged to report suspected activities

SANTA FE – New federal guidelines allow banks and other financial institutions to report any suspected elder financial abuse to authorities in an expeditious manner without obtaining prior approval from elderly victims to release their personal information to appropriate law enforcement agencies, the Securities Division of the State Regulation and Licensing Department announced. Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission and federal regulators issued a guideline clarifying financial institutions are allowed to report elder financial abuse under the privacy protection provision of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act. Financial institutions are not required to first following the opt-out process required by the Act, federal regulators ruled. Recent studies suggest that financial exploitation is the most common form of elder

abuse and that only a small fraction of incidents is reported “Our elderly citizens can be attractive targets for financial exploitation and may be taken advantage of by scam artists, financial advisors, family members, caregivers or home repair contractors,” said Alan R. Wilson, Director of the Securities Division. “The elderly often are targeted because they have retirement savings, accumulated home equity or other assets. They also are more likely to experience cognitive decline, which can impair their capacity to recognize financial exploitation and scams.” The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act generally requires that a financial institution notify consumers and give them an opportunity to opt out before providing nonpublic personal information to a third party. The federal guidance clarifies that it is generally acceptable under the law for financial institu-

tions to report suspected elder financial abuse to appropriate local, state or federal agencies. “Bank employees regularly speak with a vulnerable elder citizen and are in a position to notice signs of abuse through the relationship developed with the customer. The financial institution that notices suspicious activity and reports it is protecting a vulnerable person who otherwise may go unprotected,” said Director Wilson. Any banker or other person who questions or suspects a situation involving elder financial abuse is requested to contact the Securities Division at 1-800-704-5533. To learn more about how to protect yourself from financial fraud, please visit www.redflagsnm.com. New Mexicans also are encouraged to call 1-800704-5533 if you have questions or to report financial fraud.

While you have several options, 529 college savings plans offer a range of investment choices that may fit your needs. A 529 plan also provides unique tax benefits, such as tax-free growth and federally tax-free withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses.* And anyone, including family and friends, can contribute. *If a distribution is taken from a 529 plan but not used for a qualified expense, the portion of the distribution representing earnings is subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% federal penalty. Contributions may be eligible for a state tax deduction or credit in certain states for those residents. Student and parental assets and income are considered when applying for financial aid. Generally, a 529 plan is considered an asset of the parent, which may be an advantage over saving in the student’s name. Make sure you discuss the potential financial aid impacts with a financial aid professional. Edward Jones, its financial advisors and employees cannot provide tax or legal advice. Tax issues for 529 plans can be complex. Please consult your tax advisor about your situation.

Saving a photography show Erik LeDuc Reporter erik@ruidosofreepress.com Fall’s photography exhibition, a seasonal standard, may not be dazzling visitors at the Hubbard Museum of the American West this year, but a complementary show will go on, thanks to the efforts of an artistic community and hosted by Caroline McCoy. “It’s my affiliation with the art world, my passion for art - I’ve been a photographer for many years,” she said. “So when David Mandel, who is my neighbor, said that they wouldn’t be able to have the Fall Photography Show at the Hubbard, I said, ‘let’s not cancel the show, let’s move it, we can have it here.’” Before launching ahead, McCoy said she took some time to test the waters, checking if the area would be welcoming of the gallery and whether enough photographers could be reached, before combining email lists with acquaintances, posting on websites to draw interest for the spontaneous show. “I used every possible means I could think of.” The interest was there, and it was time to make sure the venue was ready to receive the show. The gallery itself is in what once was the Nogal’s mercantile as well as its post office, though its windows were shuttered as a storefront about 15 years ago and it was been decommissioned as a post office for many years before that. The building itself dates from the early 1900s, rebuilt somtime around the

1950s after a fire broke out, she said. It bears its age well, thanks to weeks of work from volunteers that left smooth, white walls and a polished wooden floor that echoes its age through the high ceilings. “I put out an email to everybody, saying, ‘I need people to help me paint, I need help with electrical work - this is what I want to do,’” she said. “Immediately, I got a check from one friend and several people said they would come and help.” Rich Beer, Mike Ross, Nora Midkiff, Jan Arrowsmith, Jodie Mowell, Denys McCoy, LeRoy Anderson, Susan Weir-Ancker, Sue and Bob Stearns, Jim and Bama Crouse, David and Deedee Tremblay, Patricia Young, Carl McDaniel, Herb Brunell, Matt Midgett, David Mandel, Adele Karolik, Harvey Foster, Georgia Stacy and Ray Dean, along with the Vista Del Valle Ranch and Josie’s Framery all chipped in somehow, providing money, labor and materials for the project, as well as money for the second and third place prizes, she said. First place, $1,000, will be paid by entry fees. The three jurors also are volunteers, though McCoy managed to get ahold of some reputable critics, known through her previous years in the New York Film Academy, she said. “I found that they had a division in California, so I called the Chair of the Still Photography Division and said, ‘this is a grassroots effort, we’re trying to do this on absolutely no money

at all, and would you be interested in juroring the show for us,’ and she said she would. This was Bobbi Fabian. “Then I went to Corey Walker, who used to be here in the area - he’s a very good photographer and has become very well known.” The third juror, who will be providing the third vote shortly before the exhibit opens, will remain a mystery until later, she added. “We don’t want any of the photographers contacting the juror beforehand, so we’re not making the announcement until Saturday.” The jurors went through the 136 digital entries received for the show before readying themselves to receive prints. “We went through and narrowed it down to the 60 prints we wanted to hang.” Photos will be available for purchase, will all proceeds returning to the artist, McCoy said. “This isn’t a business, we’re not making any money off this.” The same holds true after the show leaves - McCoy’s looking to loan the space out for future exhibits, plays, dance recitals and other community engagements. The Dry Gulch Gallery in Nogal will be the place to be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 12 for the opening of the show and gallery, catered by Annie’s Little Sure Shot. The exhibit will run through Dec. 1, 10 a.m. through 4 p.m., Thursday through Sunday. For directions and information, visit http:// drygulchgallery.com/.

Choosing to live in Lincoln County An energetic group of alumni from a class at ENMU-Ruidoso developed a survey asking this question. Are you satisfied with the public transportation offered by Lincoln County? Is the health care offered in Lincoln County adequate for your needs? Here is your chance to voice your opinion on these and several other topics. The confidential survey for residents of Lincoln County over the age of 50 is already available on-line at www.ruidoso. enmu.edu. Go to the Community tab and then click on “Livable Community Survey.” A paper copy is available at ENMURuidoso. The information collected will help all of us develop a more livable community and increase the quality of life for seniors. The alumni of the first Creative Aging class, offered at ENMU-Ruidoso and led by Dr. Clara Farah, decided that opportunities for seniors in our communities

could certainly be enhanced. They formed a Creative Aging Advisory Committee at the college and have worked on this survey weekly since January 2013 and have tested it in five places where seniors meet. After making adjustments, the survey is ready for the public. Once the computer program tabulates the results of the survey, the group will be able to discover the needs and wants of residents, learn what works well in the area and what needs improvement. Then, the committee will consider further action that may well change community life for the better and will keep Lincoln County citizens advised, as well as asking for further suggestions. You can be a part of the process by participating in the survey. For more information, please contact ENMU-Ruidoso Community Education at 257-3012 or Lisa Maue at lisa.maue@enmu.edu.

Rascal Fair to run through October By Erik LeDuc Reporter erik@ruidosofreepress.com Calling the Rascal Fair a hidden gem of Lincoln County doesn’t seem too much of a stretch — especially when it comes to the hidden part, as the weekly event lies nestled in White Oaks, a historical near-ghost town dating back from the county’s mining days. The road to the fair, about three miles north of Carrizozo, swoops through an ever more verdant valley, passing first hills, then the mountain’s legs before the pavement narrows, right before the valley drops and opens - perhaps nineodd miles on the trip meter. If you’re looking for the fair, open Fridays at 4:30 p.m., it’s right down the main road where all the cars are. From there, it’s an smorgasbord of hand grown and hand made wares, locally grown produce being the most prolific, with cast jewelry, wooden crafts, concessions, energy therapy and more besides, depending on who’s shown up for the week. One near-guarantee is that Jamie “Emma West” Tate will be there, all the way through the end of the month. “We need to finish with a bang, for both our vendor’s sake and the county’s sake,” she said. “We have a local, community market all the way through the end of October.” Though Tate said she expected the produce to become scarcer as the nights dip below freezing, there remains a large assortment of non-perishable crafts, as well as seasonal selections from producers Tate, for example, is gearing up to set out a series of salves and balms for the cold winter months, using her own herbs. “My deal is I have an organic seed and plant nursery, right up the canyon about a mile,” Tate said. Tate’s not the only producer either - another handful of growers also were gathered, offering products ranging from gourds to chiles to corn, all grown locally. The group also helps itself with projects, she added, pointing out the booths, tables and benches made by vendors for the fair. “We have people, if you need something made, he’s the guy to come to your house to do all the woodworking - who knew,” Tate said. “Everybody here – we even have the healing touch therapy. You’ve had a stressful week, climb on the table and relax. She’s a registered nurse, Chris Linton.” Back at her “rock pile” in the valley, Tate said she tests varieties of heirloom vegetables (no GMOs here, she insists) to see which plants are the hardiest and most productive in the tough New Mexico soil, cultivating the most successful for generations there-

Susan Gerke of Green Gulch Harvest, now on her second year at the fair, said she got her start that way talking to Tate, then ordering a variety of gourds and squash to see what works best. “We’re learning as we go, but Jamie’s helping us, along with others.” “If it thrives in this rock pile, if it thrives in difficult conditions, then I feel confident to suggest to someone, ‘by the way, I’ve had a lot of success with this Juliet Tomato,’” Tate

said, walking by a cascading planter of the fruit - Juliets ripening first, followed by another variety of tomato mid-season. The planters Tate uses as annual demonstrations are a rustically innovative move, recycling old plastic feed buckets into convenient patches of crops so easy to deal with that grandma can run one outside the front door, she said.

Lady Warriors return to court with loss By Todd Fuqua Sports Editor todd@ruidosofreepress.com Maybe it was the two-week layoff. Maybe Goddard is that good a team. It was likely a combination of things, as the Ruidoso volleyball team dropped a 25-15, 25-18, 28-26 decision to Goddard on Saturday. Ruidoso missing its libero didn’t help. “That’s a big fundamental change to a team,� said Ruidoso coach Bernadette Garcia. “I felt they answered. We worked hard, but it’s still something we can use.

By Todd Fuqua Sports Editor todd@ruidosofreepress.com Defense was the word for Ruidoso in the Warriors’ Friday night victory over Robertson at W.D. Horton Stadium. Ruidoso made key defensive stands against a tough Cardinal squad when needed to preserve a 28-14 victory. “Robertson has a great ball team, and they’ve got some good athletes. We knew it was going to be a battle,� said Ruidoso coach Kief Johnson. “Last year, we played them real close and they came back on us with a couple of turnovers. They ended up getting 14 points on us tonight.� Offense was consistent again for the Warriors (4-1), who scored a touchdown in every quarter. Those touchdowns started with a pass play that might have been set up from the beginning of the year, as the Cardinals (24) put double- and triple-coverage on Parker Johnson – among the state leaders in receiving yards and touchdowns. All that attention left 6-foot5 receiver Travis Mosher all alone in the endzone for a wideopen 15-yard scoring catch from Cade Patterson five minutes into the game. Robertson’s ensuing drive ended in a manner typical of the evening. The Cardinals had driven down to the Ruidoso 10 with a strong running game led by Dominic Lucero, but quarter-

For want of a point – NMMI beats Capitan By Karen Boehler For the Ruidoso Free Press ROSWELL – Two very well-matched teams took to the field at the New Mexico Military Institute Friday, with a blocked PAT the difference in a 14-13 victory for the Colts over Capitan. “We have a good team,” said Tiger coach Jim Hughes. “We really do. We just have to put it all together and I’ve got to make some better calls to get us in the end zone.” Getting into the end zone was tough for both teams, both because of mistakes and strong defense from the opposition. The Tigers opened the game with a five-play posKaren Boehler/Ruidoso Free Press session that took them from Tiger Tracker Bowen carried the ball for 73 yards in their own 33 to the NMMI Capitan’s 14-13 loss at New Mexico Military Institute 29, with a 35-yard carry on Friday. by Tracker Bowen a big part of the drive.

Carrizozo’s schedule gets tougher

By Todd Fuqua Sports Editor todd@ruidosofreepress.com Carrizozo’s football team may have been undefeated headed into Friday’s game, but to stay unbeaten, every Grizzly needed to play the best game of the year. Tatum was the opponent, and the Grizzlies weren’t quite up to the challenge, falling 38-8. “Tatum is a very good

team,” said Carrizozo coach Kevin Sheehan. “That’s probably the most physical team we’ve faced all year.” Nick Chavez scored the lone touchdown for Carrizozo (4-1), with Jace Hill running for the 2-point conversion. Tatum (4-2) is only the beginning of some big challenges on the Grizzlies’ eight-man schedule.

They host Melrose/Clovis Christian this Friday for Homecoming, and are at defending state champion Gateway Christian next week. All this before starting their District 2 schedule at Mountainair on Oct. 25. “This is the meat of our schedule right now,” Sheehan said. “It’s nice to have these really difficult games right now before district.”

71-yard pass from Duncan Hayes to Blade Allen to put them on the 3, with Mauricio Cantu bringing it in from the one. Another good NMMI kick and the Colts held a tenuous 14-13 lead. After a three-and-out by Capitan, the Institute started a 14-play drive that ended just short when a Colt fumble and incomplete pass, combined with a strong Tiger defense, ended the drive on the 5. Capitan then drove from its own 5 to the NNMI 12 – sparked by a 57-yard pass from Mendoza to Robert Miller – but couldn’t get the final two yards needed to get a first down. “Obviously this game could have gone either way,” said NMMI coach Randy Montoya. “We made mistakes. They made mistakes. But it all came down to that last fourth down and 2 and I told the kids I was just proud of them, how they just fought to the very end. It was 11 on 11 basically, and it was just whoever wanted to dig down deep and wanted it the most. I know

Capitan was banged up and stuff, but I’m proud of the way the kids fought and the way they finished the game the way they did.” Both teams had chances to kick field goals late in the game, and both coaches had reasons why they didn’t. “We were going to, but we were that close and even (with the FG), if they scored a touchdown they would have gone up,” Montoya said. “I was kind of worried there. I thought they might have kicked a field goal there to go up on that fourth and 2. But I just went with my gut. I asked the coaches if they thought we should go for it knowing we had a good chance. Our quarterback just threw a little bit too far but we had a pretty good play. We had a chance. It was just a little bit short or we might have added six.” With a little more than a minute remaining in the game, everyone in the stands thought Capitan would go for it, but Hughes had his reasons for not doing so. “One, they just got done blocking an extra point on us, and I even made that suggestion, ‘Should we go for a field goal?’ And one of my assistants said, ‘Coach, they blocked the field goal. We’re kicking in the wind and that’s about our limit.’ But if we would have got another first down and got inside, we would have gone for it.” The Colts took a knee on their final three carries to run out the clock, giving them the close victory, but Hughes didn’t sound too concerned with the loss. “We’re a better team than what we’re showing,” he said. “No excuses. We have some key injuries. We have some kids who are going to be back next week for us who will really improve our team. And we’re looking forward to that. We tried to get through this point in the season and we’ve had numerous injuries and just numerous setbacks, but I think starting Monday it’s a new season for us and I think we’re going to show people that we have something.” Because of Loving dropping their program this year, the Tigers have an extra week to get heathy and work in those returners before opening district Oct. 18 at home vs. Cloudcroft.

Village puts on first youth disc golf event By Erik LeDuc Reporter erik@ruidosofreepress.com The discs were soaring again at Ruidoso’s Grindstone Dam Disc Golf course, though this time from smaller hands than the usual competitors as the Ruidoso Parks and Recreation Department kicked off its first officially sponsored disc golf tournament on Sunday The tournament – part competition and part education – paired children and adults into 12 teams that competed against each other, and at the same time, taught youth the basics of the game that recently brought several hundred professional competitors to the village. “My objective is to create events for youth and utilize the really cool facilities that we have,” said Myranda Waldo, a recreation leader with the village’s Parks & Recreation department. “It was really a no-brainer that if

it’s good enough to use for state tournaments, we should really promote it more for local youth and the people that live here.” Overall, the event had been a huge success, said course designer Dave “T-Bone” Tetrault, who competed in the Sunday tourney. “It was really well received.” Waldo said she planned to hold the event again next year, possibly adding more events if there’s interest. “I like the format so far – a lot of the things I’m doing here are a pilot, so

we can see how it goes,” she said. “If we need to change it, we will. But I like the way it’s going and, so far, it’s mingling really well. I probably won’t do more than one disc golf event per year, so I hope we can make this an annual thing.” The tournament had been especially successful in terms of sponsorship, with prizes, cash and help from many. Among those that assisted are the Ruidoso Dam Discgolfers, Boarderstop, Pizza Hut and donations from private individuals. Erik LeDuc/ Ruidoso Free Press

Dave “T-Bone” Tetrault whips a mid-range putt down the lane as his young acolyte for the day, Brando Bridges, takes notes.

RETURN from pg. B1 the Lady Warriors finally started to wake up. Ruidoso took a 5-4 lead and extended it to an 8-4 lead following a huge block by Harrelson and Lindsey and a kill from Harrelson. They held that lead until Goddard’s Rachel Davis got the serve and the Lady Rockets rattled off five straight points. Unlike the first two games, that didn’t signal the end for the Lady Warriors. The teams traded leads and Ruidoso actually had a chance to win with a game-point serve at 24-22.

It was the first of six game point serves by both teams, as neither squad was able to take the initiative and end it. Goddard finally did on a Lady Warrior error to win 28-26. That the final game took so long to resolve gave Garcia home that her team was ready for Tuesday’s District 4-3A opener at home against Lovington. “Our offense had its moments, but now it’s back to the drawing board,” Garcia said. “Across the state, I wouldn’t trade these athletes for anything.”

LETTER from pg. B1 ing team values in us, to put aside any selfishness in favor of our common effort. If any of us are unhappy about our playing time, the position we’re playing, or the way we’re being treated, they want us to come to them and talk about it. There have been times when you have disagreed with the coach but at this level they spend so many hours preparing for practices, watching game film, attending clinics, they know what they are doing. Sometimes I think our coaches spend more time with us than with their own families. During the season, I have more interaction with them than anyone else

in my life. Please show me respect by letting them coach me and letting me trust them. Please thank them for their time and effort to help all of us. For sure, there will be problems this season. When they come, I will talk with people involved. Because of the strength and training you have given me…I can handle it. The truth is, our coaches are teaching us the same lessons you two have taught us growing up – work hard, be unselfish, be accountable, have courage, discipline yourself so others don’t have to, lead and follow, earn the right to be confident, be humble in vic-

tory and gracious in defeat, not everything is going to be fair but we can always be strong. They are doing it in a public, emotional arena and it is not easy. We will work to be as good as we can be – Please let that be good enough. Being with my teammates and striving toward a goal should be some of the best days of my life. Please help me keep the joy in playing. I always want to make you proud of my effort and character. Let me have this time to show you who I have become. Here’s to a great season. I Love You

Our offensive line also pounded it in there. They moved the line of scrimmage and that was the key.” The game was the first true test of the Warriors since their season opener against

Ibarraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score propels Warriors

By Karen Boehler For the Ruidoso Free Press ROSWELL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two teams, very evenly matched, played almost 100 minutes of soccer Saturday before Ruidoso finally pulled out a 2-1 victory over New Mexico Military Institute on an amazing kick by Ernesto Ibarra in the second overtime. The golden goal by Ibarra in District 3-1A-3A play came after a scoreless first half, in which both teams had their chances at scoring, but was mostly dominated by the defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we took turns dominating portions of the first half. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reKaren Boehler/Ruidoso Free Press ally think anyone had any Ruidoso forward Ernesto Ibarra kicks the winning goal from almost the center of advantage,â&#x20AC;? said Ruidoso the field.

From then until late was more back and forth play Kicking from at least 35 yards out, Ibarra took a shot until about the final 10 minutes, when NMMI got the ball that just sailed past everyone, including Tafich, who was after a Ruidoso foul. The Colts sent a corner kick to the going right as the ball curved past him to the left, dropnet and, on a set piece, Everardo Ahumada headed it in to ping into the right corner of the net and setting off a knot the game at 1-1. just-slightly-delayed celebration as the Warriors realized And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it stayed through the end of regulatheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d won. tion and the first overtime.

RomeBut the ball just missed, bouncing off the right post, and ro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually at this time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in that 4-11 range, so play went on. But that near miss, Romero said, fired his itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vast improvement over previous seasons.â&#x20AC;?

And the victory was a reversal of the match in Ruidoso, where the Colts came out on top 2-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we actually handled the match better when we were there,â&#x20AC;? Barbour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Ruidoso has) gotten better.

We still handled the ball a little better in the second half. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting better as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that we should have taken care of it a lot better than we did today and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as well as we should.â&#x20AC;? The Warriors will play their next two district games on the road, Thursday in Hatch and Oct. 15 in Silver before closing out the regular season at home vs. Socorro.

Bad night for Lady Tiger volleyball By Karen Boehler For the Ruidoso Free Press DEXTER – It was not a very good night for Capitan in Dexter Thursday. Although both the Lady Tigers and Lady Demons came into the game with records below .500, Dexter was clearly the better team, as they topped Capitan 25-10, 25-13, 25-18. “We were sloppy today,” said Capitan coach Jessica Becker. “We had a couple of kids who were really sick, and they just had to play through it. We’ll be OK come district time Luckily, that’s not for 10 days ¬– the Lady Tigers have a long break before their District 7-1A opener vs. Cloudcroft Oct. 14 – because it took until Game 3 for Capitan to even start keeping up with the Lady Demons. After a serving error by the Lady Tigers gave Dexter a 1-0 lead, Brenda Granado served five straight, and it was 7-1 Lady Demons before Torri Trapp got the ball back with a kill and Tenya Montoya got one of only two offensive points for Capitan with an ace. Mary Swanson got the other to make it 11-6, but that was all for the Lady Tigers. And Game 2 wasn’t much better. Capitan did go up 2-0 on a long volley that had both side’s fans cheering, then the teams traded ties and leads with the Lady

Tigers up 8-6 on an ace by Swanson. But then hitting errors started piling up for Capitan, and Dexter retook the lead, allowing only two more offensive Lady Tiger points the rest of the way. Down 19-11, Trapp got the ball back on a strong block, but the Lady Demons ended the game with five straight points by Jessica Orosco. Dexter coach Andy Luikens was happy with how the first two games went. “We played really, really well,’ he said. “Our side out percentage was 81 percent, which is a really good stat that we work on to get that higher, which is something we work on.” Capitan played its best in Game 3, going up 3-0 on an ace on the net by Swanson and a kill by Trapp, then, after Dexter fought back to a 9-7 lead, the Lady Tigers re-took the lead on a kill by Jordan Smith and an ace by Swanson that looked out but was ruled just in. But after a kill by Robbie Lee Richardson made it 11-10 Capitan, Luikens called his first time out of the night and the Lady Demons rallied, taking a 14-11 edge. Capitan did tie it again at 15-15 and kept things close, but another hitting error gave the game and match to Dexter. “Game 3 wasn’t the best,” Luikens said. “We just made a few too many errors.So we made some changes defensively and just sat back and played defense.

Robbie Lee RIchardson digs the return Thursday in Dexter. We ground it out. We just did what we had to do to win. It wasn’t real pretty, but I was happy they stuck in there and got the win.” Becker said her squad’s hitting errors

will go down. “We started from square one this year, at the beginning of the year, so we’re just building on our fundamentals and we’re just trying to get better every day.”

It was the perfect capper to a perfect day for the Lady Grizzlies. “We beat them in three, and our JV won too,” said Carrizozo coach Pam Allen. “We had a good afternoon.” Carrizozo (13-1) also had a good afternoon serving – something that had been a problem at the Lady Grizzlies’ appearance at the Capitan Classic.

The Lady Tigers responded with a mini run of their own to get to within a point, but then Janae Willingham took over the serve for the Lady Grizzlies. When Willingham took the back line, Carrizozo had a 14-9 lead. By the time she was done, the Lady Grizzlies had a 25-9 victory – 11 straight service

it was something else we had to deal with,” said Capitan coach Jessica Becker. “We all just have to keep working hard now.” While the Lady Tigers seemed overmatched in the first frame, it was a different story starting with the second game. The teams traded leads and tied numerous times before Ferguson got the serve and Carrizozo rattled off four straight points to put some distance between the squads. From then on, the Lady Grizzlies steadily pulled away and got the victory on – fittingly – a kill by Ferguson. In what was almost a carbon copy of the second, the final game again started out closely contested before Erica Vega got the serve and rattled off a handful of points to put Carrizozo out front for good.

The LOBO howl

Lobos run over NMSU

By Richard Stevens Senior Writer/GoLobos.com ALBUQUERQUE – It was pretty much a namethe-score romp that was pretty much Lobos running left, Lobos running right, Lobos running just about anywhere and anyway they wanted to run. The Lobos also ran to the top of the NCAA stats. The No. 1 rushing team in the nation no longer is in Eugene, Ore. It’s the Bob Davie Lobos of New Mexico, who powered, sprinted, muscled and looped for 541 rushing yards in crushing New Mexico State 66-17. There were more fireworks Saturday night on Branch Field than there were over the International Balloon Fiesta Park at the end of that glow.

Education By Corey Bard

“Tarahumara Indians of Copper Canyon Mexico for centuries practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest, chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner and enjoy every mile.” From the National best-seller, ‘Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen’ written by Christopher McDougall. Scott Jurek was one of the Americans who went to Copper Canyon with the author to test themselves against these great athletes of Mexico. His book, ‘Eat and Run’ written by Steve Friedman was published last year about his ultra-marathoner’s life and maintaining a vegan diet. I crossed paths with Steve Friedman on the Alaska Marathon Cruise in 2010 where I first learned of the writer exploring the extraordinary lives of ultra-runners. My first brushes with ultra-marathoners dates back to the 1994 Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon when I was pushing myself to a personal best 2 hours and 42 minutes momentarily thrilled to have beaten one time world record holder for 100 miles Kevin Setnes and Kohler, Wis. native Roy Pirrung only to be brought back to reality that these two accomplished ultra-runners were in training and marathons (26.2 miles) were merely training runs. ‘Born to Run’ takes us from the science labs of Harvard to the sun baked valleys and freezing peaks of North America where ever growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limits. It concludes with a visit to Copper Canyon to discover the Tarahumara Indians. I will briefly explain my 30+ years of running. From the first year on my high school cross-country team I had no illusions of competing in the

Olympics. We had numerous Illinois state champions who had run for my high school, but I was 13th of 14 runners as a freshman. By my senior year, only three of us remained from that freshman team. The best senior had played soccer for two years and the soccer coaches recognized his running talent and encouraged him to make the switch to running. So it was more from perseverance than talent that I found myself running on the varsity team after four years in the trenches. What I discovered years later, was I had an ability to maintain my self- deprecating turtle like pace for 10, 15, 20 and eventually 26.2 miles. While many faster hare like runners dusted me over 5 and 10 km races, I found I could be patient and run them down after 20 miles. For a brief window in my life, I was a respectable marathoner able to run between a six and six and half minute per mile pace for 26.2 miles. This would allow me to finish in the top 5 percent of major races in major cities. Here comes the reality part again. Even at my pace, I was still 20 minutes from the Olympic qualifying standard. The 100 or so athletes who make it to the Olympic marathon finals every four years are so talented and so gifted and so dedicated to the sport, I just felt compelled to share this program of the Tarahumara Indians who live lives in a realm so incredible yet share the same earth as you and I. Diana Molina will be at Ruidoso Public Library Thursday October 10 at 4 p.m. to give a presentation on the culture, lives and intrigue of the Tarahumara. Raramuri means foot runner. Beginning in 1993, she has spent extended periods of time living among the reclusive Rarámuri, traveling by foot for days to reach their communities and often residing in a cave overlooking the vast Sierra Madre. An extensive collection of images record her personal journey to depict the unique life and traditions of the great athletes who traverse the rugged terrain, each image a window into the deep, remote canyons of the Sierra.

BookTalk with local author

Meet local author Amy Bennett presenting her first book, “End of the Road” at the Ruidoso Public Library Thursday, Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. in the conference room. Bennett started writing when she heard about National Novel Writing Month in 2004. This was just the stimulus she needed to head off into a career of writing. Even though she calls Bent home, she works in Ruidoso at Noisy Water Winery and Ruidoso Downs as a cake decorator, so you just may have seen her around town. End of the Road won the 2012 Dark Oak Mystery contest. Here’s a little bit of the storyline from her book: “Corrie Black, owner of the Black Horse Campground, hopes for a successful start to her summer season but the discovery of Marvin Landry, a longtime guest, shot dead in his own RV, along with $50,000 in cash missing, does not herald a good beginning…” That’s a good start to make you want

to find out the rest of the story. Join us at the library Thursday, Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. Books will be for sale and signing with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to the Friends of the Library.

News from around the state OCTOBER 5 Local film gets community support ROSWELL – Bringing suspense, excitement and drama to a local standpoint, the new film series “Tailed” is about to kick off – as a community effort. Director and producer Donovan Fulkerson, along with co-writer Boyd Barrett, started filming the project for Roswell Filmfest and Cosmicon, but that was only a small preview of what they are planning to do. The series will be primarily on the Web, but it is hoped that it will eventually be picked up by a television channel. Until then, it is up to Roswell to help keep this film alive, Fulkerson said. From local sponsors helping with set locations, props and catering for the cast, to actual cast and crewmembers participating on their own dime, the community is the reason this series is taking off at all. Unfortunately, Fulkerson said, he is not able to pay anyone working on the film. “Everyone is working for free,” Fulkerson said. “They’re donating their time, equipment and expertise.” – Roswell Daily Record

OCTOBER 3 BLM closure hits oil-and-gas industry ROSWELL – A drawn-out battle in Congress, that has now turned its focus to the Oct. 17 debt limit deadline, could impact the region’s oil and gas industry and some local workers. The federal closure of the Bureau of Land Management’s local office has already

halted the processing of drilling permits. A prolonged backlog could interrupt the industry in southeast New Mexico, said New Mexico Oil and Gas Association’s spokesman Wally Drangmeister. “As time goes on, it just increases the likelihood of disruption,” Drangmeister said Oct. 3. “Who knows how long this will go on?” Forty-nine percent of the state’s oil and gas is produced on federal land, administered by the BLM. BLM offices in New Mexico and Wyoming permit 67 percent of the total wells in the U.S. “If this goes on long enough, it could impact the whole basin,” Drangmeister said. – Roswell Daily Record

OCTOBER 2 Two arrested after high-speed chase FORT SUMNER – Two California men were arrested in Fort Sumner on Sept. 30 night following a high speed chase on U.S. 84. The driver of the vehicle, 19-year-old Victor Gonzales of Modesto, Calif., and his passenger, 20-year-old Jorge Moldavia of Chula Vista, Calif., were arrested after abandoning their vehicle near the intersection of 3rd Street and Ave. A. They face multiple felony and misdemeanor charges related to the chase that began north of Fort Sumner and reached speeds exceeding 115 mph. Additional charges may follow after law enforcement officers obtained a search warrant. According to the statement of probably cause filed in Magistrate Court, Deputy Elva Harvey initiated a traffic stop after radar clocked a grey BMW traveling 82 mph in a 65 mph zone. The vehicle failed to stop

and accelerated to a speed in excess of 100, the probable cause statement said. At one point, Harvey’s patrol unit was traveling 115 mph and losing ground heading toward Fort Sumner. The BMW was abandoned in Fort Sumner. De Baca County Sheriff Dennis Cleaver said the two were apprehended quickly based on information from residents in the area. “We were able to make these arrests due to the help of our citizens who were helping keep track of their movements,” Cleaver said. “Their help was vital to our success.” – De Baca County News

Library expands digital reading materials FORT SUMNER – Downloadable eBooks and audio books are now available at the Fort Sumner Public Library. Fort Sumner Public Library has joined the “New Mexico Libraries To Go” digital consortium, which currently consists of 15 New Mexico libraries. This digital collection is made possible through the use of General Obligation Bond funds approved by voters in the last general election. This collection will continue to grow as more libraries participate, said Fort Sumner Public Librarian Karla Hunt. The Library staff is also accepting suggestions from patrons for upcoming purchases of digital material, Hunt said. – De Baca County News

OCTOBER 2 New Mexico tourism secretary visits Clayton CLAYTON – Paying her first visit to the northeast corner of New Mexico, Secretary

of Tourism Monique Jacobson overnighted in Clayton recently. “Secretary Monique Jacobson’s visit was very enlightening,” said Chamber of Commerce Director Judy Steen. “I believe it is very, very crucial for our community to make use of these services, and I believe that maybe our local businesses do not realize this.” The services presented by Jacobson and her staff pertained to the New Mexico True branding campaign. For the past year and a half, the state of New Mexico has been undergoing a transformation in how the rest of the world, and in how native New Mexicans, see this state. – Union County Leader

Senior program aims to curb hunger EDGEWOOD – New Mexico ranks second in the nation for senior hunger, according to statistics from the New Mexico Area Agency on Aging. Eleven percent of older citizens are at risk of hunger. Senior programs in Torrance and Santa Fe counties receive state and federal funding to provide meals to area seniors, defined as citizens age 60 and older. Tijeras is served through the satellite program of the City of Albuquerque Senior Affairs. Kathy Segura is senior services program administrator for Presbyterian medical Services in torrance County, which runs the senior centers in Estancia, Moriarty and Mountainair. She said the state received a $150,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation for six months to be used for hunger outreach, and Torrance was one of 19 programs to get this funding. – The Independent, Edgewood

Local artists offer classes at The Nest Art surrounds and encompasses our spirits. Where there is darkness, beauty, doubt, mystery or a mix of each, humans create art. On many occasions, art helps people who have seen trauma and misfortune in the healing process. It allows them a target for their energies, a channel to funnel their emotions and the promise of beauty from dedication. Art is a coping mechanism, a communication tool and a therapeutic endeavor worth its weight in gold. Three local artists have begun bringing art classes to The Nest to share their

skills, their expertise and their encouragement with the women and children residing in the shelter. A new Help End Abuse for Life (HEAL) board member, Diane Gremillion Easter talked with her friends Marty Lane, an ENMU art instructor, and Martina de Waard-Dein, an artist with Josie’s Framery. Together, the three designed a weekly group class for the residents at The Nest. “I thought of art journaling because it’s not only a great tool to express yourself but it can also help as part of a healing process,” Easter said. “I learned about journal-

Weekly Featured Adoptable Pets Tazer is a very handsome 6 month old orange shorthaired tabby. He has beautiful blue eyes, and is very playful with other cats and kittens. Tazer was found on the side of the highway back in July, he was healthy and very curious. He is very social and loves to play out in the sun room with his toys.

This cute lil’ devil is Rascal; he is about 2 yrs. old and we believe him to be a Pug/ Chihuahua mix. Rascal is kennel trained and walks well on a leash. He is very social with other dogs, but at times can get a little bossy. Rascal is very friendly with people and he likes to play with kids. He was brought to our facility as a stray towards the end of August.

To adopt one of these featured pets, contact the Humane Society of Lincoln County. Hours of operation: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 11-5 and Saturday 11-2. Location: 422 Gavilan Canyon, Ruidoso. 575-257-9841. Don’t forget to check out our website: adoptnmpet.com.

ing from an online art class I took last year. Marty Lane taught the course. Since I have known Marty for several years, I asked her if she could teach art journaling to the residents at The Nest. She was very interested in the idea.” Each week, the women travel to The Nest with arms full of watercolors, colored pencils, pads of paper, brushes and journals. The residents gather around the dining room table and learn about different artistic techniques. They are then encouraged to begin creating and the artists aide them in finding inspiration and constructing their works. The children also participate, making everything from posters to poetry, under supervision from shelter staff and the group leaders. “We all thought that it would be a wonderful idea to include the children in this program where they, too, could have their own art project,” Easter said.

“Martina has a special education teaching background and agreed to help with the children’s art project.” At the end of each session, the participants are permitted to keep art supplies for themselves and encouraged to continue working on their projects over the week. “The whole idea was for them to become comfortable using these mediums and then learn how to express themselves in their own journal books,” Easter said. “But, overall, we wanted them to have fun. The children were also excited about doing art and were eager to get started. Most of them created masterpieces.” Easter believes that the program has been effective in providing therapy and stress management, and in helping the women and children to build confidence in themselves, learning creativity and critical thinking, and stimulating their imaginations.

Fortune cookies Copyright © 2013 Jay McKittrick Fortune cookies are fun – aren’t they? But let’s face it, sometimes they can get a guy into trouble. Like the other day for example, my fortune read: “Your girlfriend is cheating on you.” “She better not be!” I thought to myself, before remembering that I’m a happily married and monogamous man. (Yep! Those days are over for me.) But then my wife grabbed the fortune from my hand: “Can I read it?” She asked. “Oh… So you’ve got a girlfriend, huh?” “No babe, honest,” I told her. “That’s not what it says here!” She said looking into my eyes. “Are you calling Confucius a liar? It’s the waitress – isn’t it? I know how you

like Asian women, and I saw you checking out her potstickers.” I knew she was just kidding with me, but for a second I thought I was really busted. The only quality control problem with fortune cookies, as I see it, happens when the fortune rip in the process of taking it out of the cookie. I pulled one apart one time and couldn’t tell whether or not it read: “You are an invincible man.” or “You are an invisible man.” And then there was the time I accidently dropped my cooking into my Moo Goo Gai Pan, I couldn’t tell if my fortune suggested: “Take your wife out to lunch.” or “Stake your life on a hunch.” That being said, wouldn’t it be awesome if fortune cookies actually gave you a fortune, if they at least gave you a prize like in a box of cracker-

jacks, or if they just gave away a stamp that you could use to mail a letter? One time I got fortune cookie that had what appeared to be the winning lottery numbers printed on the back of it. I played the numbers that week and lost. Oh well, like that fortune advised: “Don’t believe everything you read.” For fun my wife would append the end of that fortune by saying: Don’t believe everything you read [between the sheets] or [except…in bed].
