The option of sustainable tourism

Hot Seat prize drawings every other hour on Tuesdays & Fridays from 10am-10pm

Giveaway drawing June 30th

As we begin to think about making travel plans this summer, we should consider sustainable tourism as an option. According to the April 2012 edition of the Green Fire Times, sustainable tourism is “tourism that creates economic growth in a manner that does not deplete the natural and built environment, while preserving the culture, history, heritage and arts of the local community.” This publication lists six types of sustainable tourism, including cultural tourism, creative tourism, eco-tourism, agritourism, culinary tourism and voluntourism. What I have found is New Mexico is full of opportunities to experience sustainable tourism, whether it’s in our local community or throughout the state.

Here are a few ideas: •

Cultural tourism – this type of tourism allows the traveler to experience and understand customs, beliefs, values, history and language in a specific destination. With numerous Native American reservations throughout New Mexico, there are plenty of opportunities to visit a traditional ceremony. New Mexico is also rich in history with old ghost towns, museums and other opportunities to understand the heritage of the Land of Enchantment.

•

Creative tourism – is usually a participative learning experience, which includes the arts, heritage or special character of the place. A few ways to Continued on pg. 12

Don’t call him ‘Wrong Roberts’

By Sandi Aguilar Meteorologist Ron Roberts brought his storm chasing Hummer to Ruidoso this weekend under the pretense of checking out the weather systems on the MTD stations. However, Roberts was really just following the cool weather… and he knew exactly where to go.

An award-winning broadcaster on radio and television for more than 30 years, Roberts currently is the meteorologist for KAMC HDTV in Lubbock, as well as providing updates for 15 radio stations. Roberts passion and experiences for weather started at a young age. He survived the May 1970 Lubbock tornado and was a storm chaser in the 70s and 80s. He followed his weather interests with research projects at Texas Tech where he ultimately earned his Master’s Degree in Environ-

mental Science and Meteorology.

Roberts provides weather reports for each of MTD Media’s stations and bases his reports on several data collection sites. Along with the meteorological systems at KAMC TV, Roberts has weather stations positioned throughout West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico including at the KWMW/KTUM station in Lovington and the KRUI/KIDX/KNMB station in Ruidoso. Having data from a variety of sources provides a clearer picture especially with the Southwest’s regional differences.

“I felt the partnership with MTD Radio was perfect because of the coverage. A person can drive from Lubbock all the way to Alamogordo and get my weather updates,” explains Ron Roberts. Roberts airs on other radio stations and thus can actually be heard as far east as Dallas. He keeps his website www.netweathernow.com updated and has recently launched a mobile app to keep his listeners informed.

Concerned about the drought in

Ruidoso, Roberts explains that Lincoln County actually has gotten more moisture than in the recent years in June.

The problem lies in the ongoing drought conditions. He feels his research does show more moisture coming into the area, but the probability of El Niño (dryer weather patterns for SW US) is 30 percent. La Niña (wetter weather patterns for southwest U.S.) are only at 20 percent. Roberts laughs when he provides such vague predictions as that is the stereotypical criticism of weathermen. He also explains that many weather situations are appearing

unpredicted as reports are based on 30 years of historical data. Roberts has noticed a warming trend in his region (as well as world-wide) and feels this is a result of weather patterns much older than 30 years. The data a meteorologist must sort through is complex as weather conditions in Russia can affect weather in the Gulf of Mexico and ultimately in Southeastern New Mexico.

Roberts says that one this is certain – Ruidoso is usually 20 degrees cooler than Lubbock and Hobbs, and thus a weekend trip to ‘chase the storms’ is always a good report.

Rascal Fair pioneer puzzles The history and lore of hand puzzles spans many centuries and cultures Come to the Rascal Fair on Friday, June 28, from 4 p.m. till dusk to be amazed and mesmerized as Way-

era of the early settlers of this area as both entertainment and serving practical purposes. There will be dozens on display and for sale to test your modern problem solving skills against the children and pioneers of the past.

Several of the puzzles functioned as locks on sea chests of both Chinese and Norwegian sailors of the 1800’s and one was used as an “theft proof” hobble for horses. Though the puzzles are beautifully crafted of metal, they are both functional and decorative today.

The upcoming racing week at Ruidoso Downs

Saturday is a stakes doubleheader with the fastest older Quarter Horses in the Southwest in the Higheasterjet Handicap and top three-year-olds in the Adequan Ruidoso Downs Derby Challenge. On Friday night is the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Tickets, including dinner and beverages, are $150 (tax deductible) and may obtained at the reception desk on the track’s second floor by Wednesday.

James McArthur enshrined this weekend

By Todd Fuqua Sports Editor todd@ruidosofreepress.com James McArthur and family know a thing or two about horse racing.

They’ve been in the business since the mid-60s and have attained some pretty lofty heights since then.

One of his loftiest comes this Friday, when he’ll be officially inducted into the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame.

McArthur, who has been riding and roping horses pretty much all his life, started in horse racing breaking colts, finally getting his license to train in 1966 after being a groom for trainer Calvin Mims for two years.

“I galloped and worked my own horses, so I felt comfortable when I started training,” McArthur said.

“As I got more horses, it was a little more difficult. I couldn’t ride them all.

When you’re on Courtesy photo

a horse, you know how they are, what hurts them, what they like to do. It’s a lot easier.”

From there it was what he thought was a short trip to the pinnacle of Quarter Horse racing – the All American Futurity.

McArthur started running horses at Ruidoso Downs in 1972 after a number of years at Los Alamitos. His decision wasn’t exactly a popular one with other

trainers at the Los Angeles-area track.

“Nobody came here from California when I did,” McArthur said. “When people heard I was doing that, they said I was crazy because there were 300 head of horses that come out for that.”

The most lucrative race for Quarter Horses in the world had a purse that was less than $800,000 in 1972 – still not considered chump change today.

MCARTHUR, from pg. 7 His horse that year – Pockatu – almost came out of the gate sideways in her trial, but was still able to win the race. Unfortunately, she wasn’t fast enough to get into the final. McArthur believes if the mare had, the horse would most definitely won the All American Futurity instead of Possumjet.

“She was about a length faster than Possumjet in time,” McArthur said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt she would have won the All American, she just got hit real bad at the start of her trial.”

McArthur’s time in the winner’s circle on Labor Day would come two years later with a horse name Easy Date.

Not only did the horse win the All American, he was also crowned Champion of Champions that year – the first horse to accomplish that feat. The only other horse to do so was the legendary Refrigerator in 1990.

“I was very confident she could win,” McArthur said of Easy Date. “She had just won the Kindergarten Futurity and was very consistent.”

Easy Date was owned by Hall of Fame owner Walter Merrick, a man for whom McArthur has nothing but praise for. He’s also a man McArthur believes is the reason he even had a shot at the top prize at Ruidoso Downs.

“You have to have a great owner,” McArthur said. “Walter had me come to his ranch to pick out two horses, and Easy Date was one. I didn’t like her at first, but Walter said she had the better mama, so I took her. I would never have had her in my barn otherwise.”

McArthur got another chance at the big prize 10 years later with Eastex. The prize was much larger – a $2 million total purse – and the gelding proved his worth

with a then-record time of 21.42 seconds, winning by a length. He was the all-time money earner with more than $1.8 million before being surpassed by Refrigerator.

Other major wins by McArthur over the years have been the All American Derby, Rainbow Futurity, Rainbow Derby and Kansas (now Ruidoso) Futurity at Ruidoso Downs, and the Kindergarten and Dash For Cash futurities at Los Alamitos. He’s also had winners in the Golden State Derby at the former Bay Meadows in San Mateo, Calif. And the Dash For Cash Futurity at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas.

He hasn’t had the fortune of leading a horse back to the winner’s circle on Labor Day since 1984 – his last qualifier was Tiny First

Down in 1999 – but he hasn’t exactly been shut out. Nor has his family asked him to quit. Indeed, they’re right there at the barn with him and have had some success of their own.

Wife Donna was the trainer of Corona Cash, a filly that was part of the first all-female winning connection to the All American in 1997.

Corona Cash, Donna McArthur and jockey Tami Purcell showed that women are no strangers to success in the horse-racing field. Indeed, Purcell was one of four female jockeys riding in the race that year.

Until recently, Donna ran the family’s operation at Los Alamitos.

“Every year, you come back to the track thinking you have the horse that can win the next big race,” McArthur said.

Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame honor inductees

By Eugene Heathman Editor eugene@ruidosofreepress.com The Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame, home to building racing history one horse, one trainer and one jockey at a time, is dedicated to educating the public about horseracing and preserving racing’s history. It features a collection of very rare pieces of racing memorabilia located at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack.

Offering up a superb collection of racing memorabilia and racing history lives throughout the collection, The Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame inductees are people and horses who have had a profound impact on their sport Museum Curator Ty Wyant said, “Even non-racing folks who appreciate history are amazed at the interactive kiosks that present some of the greatest races and stories in racing history as well as information on each of the members of the hall of fame.”

Every year only one owner/breeder, one trainer, one jockey and one horse are enshrined. Induction ceremonies are held at the track in late June. “It is a very select group, indeed and there are very few museums like this in the country, especially at race tracks.” Wyant said.

Bobby Cox, Corona Cartel named to Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame

Two-time champion owner Bobby Cox along with major stakes winner and leading sire Corona Cartel will be honored as 2013 inductees to the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame. Cox has been a major force as both an owner and a breeder in Quarter Horse racing at the highest level. He was named the 2004 and the 2010 champion owner by the American Quarter Horse Association. At Ruidoso Downs, Cox won the 2004 All American Derby and the Rainbow Derby with his homebred champion Brimmerton. He also won the 2004 Ruidoso Futurity with homebred All About Ease, 2007 All American Derby with homebred Dont Let Down and the 2009 Rainbow Futurity with

Zoomin With Ease. Cox’s horses have earned nearly $8 million and horses he bred have earned more than $14 million since 1991.

Corona Cartel impacted Quarter Horse racing as both a racehorse and a sire. On the track, Corona Cartel raced to the Grade 1 wins in both the Los Alamitos Million and the Kindergarten on his way to career earnings of $517,142. He raced for owner Celina Molina and was trained by Jaime Gomez. Corona Cartel then became one of the most influential sires in the history of the breed. A son of Holland Ease and Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame member Corona Chick, he recently surpassed the $40 million mark in progeny earning. Mr Jess Perry and Corona Cartel are closely ranked for the titles of leading living sire of money earners and the second all-time leading sire of money earners behind First Down Dash.

Standing at Lazy E Ranch in Guthrie, Okla., Corona Cartel has sired five champions and three millionaires. His daughter Blues Girl Too was named the 2007 world champion and retired with earnings of $2,032,328. She is the alltime leading money-earning mare. His other millionaires are $1,212,471 earner and All American Futurity winner Teller Cartel, who also stands at Lazy E Ranch, and $1,004,829 earner Eye For Corona. Corona Cartel is the sire of 125 stakes winners and 124 stakes-placed runners.

Fort Stanton Cave updates to Snowy River exploration to be featured at Fort Stanton LIVE!

By Lynda A. Sánchez, Public Liaison for Fort Stanton Cave Study Project During the upcoming Fort Stanton Live celebration, July 13, lively and stunning presentations will be featured at the BLM National Conservation Area office HQ on the Quadrangle. The new offices are in the process of being renovated and are located between the 1877 commandant’s house and chapel.

This historic structure dating from 1883 served many purposes including officer’s quarters, doctor’s quarters and later client rooms and classrooms.

Steve Peerman, project director, and other project board members will be on site to respond to the public’s questions. A power point presentation along with an interactive simulation will be shown and demonstrated at each of the three times above with photos of the recent exploration and discoveries made within the cave. Many of these are of places no human has ever seen or experienced before until these intrepid and gutsy men and women surveyed and mapped the territory under our very feet. Snowy River itself has grown from virtually unknown in 2001 when the breakthrough was made into what is now considered

the world’s longest speleothem. Its white calcite formation, almost twelve miles in length, changes each expedition with new challenges and dangers too.

The project’s summer expedition will be on-going during the week and no doubt even more exciting items might be hot off the press so to speak.

Fort Stanton cave exploration is breaking records each year. Although these figures do change, basically FSC has gone from 31st longest cave in the U.S. to 21st (and there are literally thousands of caves in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands worldwide). On the world listing it has gone from 130th to 89th. A little more than a 135 years ago, the 1877 Wheeler Expedition surveyed and mapped two miles with limited tools. More than 24 miles of passage have been discovered as part of this fascinating and world class cave.

So, take this great opportunity and drop by for information, brochures and a visit with the men and women who are making this happen. Come join the project or support the project.

For more information contact Lynda Sánchez at 575-653-4821; Project Director Steve Peerman at: gypcaver@comcast.net or visit the website at www. fscsp.org.

Ecotourism – is travel that is mindful of our environment which encourages the reduction of our impact on the planet and can often be done in a setting for the traveler is connected to the natural beauty of nature. A camping adventure comes to mind, but rock climbing, mountain biking and hiking are also ways to enjoy ecotourism. When I stay in a hotel, I often look for “green” hotels that are supportive of water and energy conservation, along with more natural cleaning products.

•

Agri-tourism – is a travel opportunity that allows one to learn and understand various ways of agriculture. This form of tourism can be enjoyed by attending a farmers

market, or by visiting a ranch or farm that allows for hands-on experiences.

• Culinary tourism – is enjoying the experience of different foods and beverages. Whether it’s a wine tasting event or trying new foods and flavors, we can remember that life can be enjoyed through our taste buds.

• Voluntourism – is giving back to a community by volunteering your time and is also a great way to enhance our skills. Habitat for humanity, community gardens and children’s summer camps are fun ways to volunteer.

To find sustainable travel opportunities, I suggest doing a little research online, or checking out the local chamber of commerce in the area you wish to visit. The joys of life come to us through our experiences and sustainable tourism is a great experience to be had.
