The Hubbard Scholarship Foundation –
3
A little bit goes a long way
Eugene Heathman The very first recipient of a Hubbard Foundation Scholarship, Cary Gumbert recently visited with R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard to express his appreciation 22 years after receiving the very first Hubbard Academic Scholarship. Gumbert, a 1990 graduate from Ruidoso High School, received a $2,000 scholarship and went on to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Gumbert worked at the track the summer before going to MIT. “The summer after my freshman year I was testing and designing the most advanced satellite systems in the world at Hughes. So you could say Ruidoso Downs Race Track and MIT were two key stepping stones to my dream job,” Gumbert said. Performing well in his undergraduate studies Gumbert was lucky enough to be accepted into the graduate Aero/ Astro program at MIT with a full fellowship from Hughes. Gumberts thesis was focused on evaluating the financial and technical viability of mobile satellite systems like Iridium that were just starting to be proposed. Gumberts thesis advisors were the Department Head of aero/astro who later became the Chief Scientist of the Air Force, one of the founders of Orbital Science Corporation who was taking a year off to teach, and a professor who worked on the Apollo missions. MIT based financial aid on historical income (not future) which made the tran-
sition and timing very challenging for Gumbert. Tuition at the time was $20K per year and he didn’t qualify for much aid outside of his scholarships and loans. “The generosity of the Hubbard’s along with several other organizations in the community really helped. I probably wouldn’t have been able to stay at MIT without it. The Hubbard scholarship was the only four-year scholarship I had and it helped keep that first door open for me,” Gumbert said. President of the Hubbard Foundation, R.D. Hubbard said, “We are very pleased to recognize and assist these top graduates of Lincoln County in attaining their college educations and reaching for their dreams.” Hubbard noted that the scholarships are a way of actually procuring immediate results and in the smaller increments assist each student directly rather than being absorbed in administrative operations of large nonprofit corporations. “It is always my hope that the scholarship recipients will become a productive member of their community and they too will find a way to give back,” Hubbard said. “Now I’m an executive at Avaya responsible for the strategy and program management of their service business with about $2 billion in revenue. My wife Cynthia and I try to give back and follow the example the Hubbard’s set for me. We support an organization called Breakthrough Austin (www. breakthroughaustin.org) which mentors
and supports about 500 low-income students as they progress from 6th to 12th grade with the objective to help them become the first generation in their family to attend and complete college,” Gumbert and his wife Cynthia have talked about doing something for Ruidoso at some point. Perhaps establishing a scholarship for students that are accepted and attend MIT or Harvard as a carrot to apply or somehow mentor ones who are interested in going. “The Ruidoso schools and community are so unique and did so much for me but looking back there were not enough mentors or encouragement to try to apply. I was lucky because I had a 10th grade teacher in Alamogordo who went to MIT who convinced me to apply. I would like to help change that and see a few accepted every year from Ruidoso,” Gumbert said.
Since 1990, when the Hubbard Foundation established the scholarship awards program in Lincoln County, more than $1.4 million has been awarded in scholarships. In 2011, $115,780 was awarded to students in various areas in the U.S from The R.D. & Joan Dale Hubbard Foundation. Scholarships are awarded each year based on academics, student potential, community service and other criteria. Each of these scholarships will generate $16,000 during a four-year period toward the Scholarship Award recipient’s education expense. Graduates of all five county high schools are eligible to apply each year. Eligibility requirements call for individuals to have maintained a minimum first seven-semester high school GPA of 3.5 or better. This year, 31 students applied for the three scholarship awards.

‘Sheet Music’ dedication By Alisa Day Kenyon
Inspired by a woman who suffered with Alzheimer’s and dedicated to all Alzheimer’s and dementia sufferers. I found my favorite piece of sheet music the other day, crumpled … in a box full of photos from the past. Family and friends who have all moved on thank God the memories still last. I found a page of sheet music lying there… on the dining room table. I keep trying to remember the melody but for some reason I’m just not able.
That paper is over on the piano today, tomorrow… no tell where it may be found. Every morning I wake up it is all so confusing, everything has been moved all around.
Where did it go? Did you see it? It is white and has all those lines. That old gal has been here moving stuff around. Where did that come from? No that’s not mine. Who is that ? Did you see ’em? I need to go feed the babies.

Lincoln County Fair celebrates 59 years By Eugene Heathman In early 1953 The Lincoln County Fair was started during a meeting of the Capitan Chamber of Commerce. On March 11, 1956, the founders of Achievement Day met and renamed the event The Lincoln County Fair. A Fair Board was formed, with Charles Jones elected president and Eleanor Jones elected secretary-treasurer, positions they retained until 1985. The rodeo events were for local cowboys and one was a timed event called The Modern Cowboy Race. The contestant entered the arena with a horse in his pickup or trailer, unloaded the horse, roped and tied a calf, loaded the horse, and drove across the finish line. The early Fair buildings were all built with donated labor. The Smokey Bear Stampede was organized to raise
July 17, 2012
money for the Fair. The Stampede quickly grew to a three-day event with a dance on the fourth. The rodeo usually paid the expenses and the dance was the profit. The 1960s and 70s brought some big changes. The Fair was incorporated in 1960. The arena was lighted in 1961 and land was purchased from Frank Pino to enlarge the parking lot. The next big change was the addition of the Junior Livestock Sale in the early 60s. The addition of the sale created more interest in the Fair and extra days were added to accommodate the increased events. In 1969 The Fair building burned to the ground just before the Stampede. A trailer was rented for an office and school superintendent Bud Darling allowed the gym to be used for dances. The animal barn burned just before the Fair and the school was used for inside exhibits. Johnson Stearns, the Lincoln County Commissioners, the Capitan Village Council, and the American Legion, to name a few, are credited for the construction of a new fair building and animal barn. In 2011, the Lincoln County Commission with the help of Tom Stewart provided funding to improve the rodeo area and livestock pens. The
Lincoln County Fair continues to be an important part of the rural and local communities of Lincoln County. 4-H, FFA and local citizens look forward to participating in the events that the fair brings year after year. The 2012 Lincoln County Fair and Livestock Auction will be Aug. 6 - 11 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Capitan. For information: Mozie Sparks 575-648-2311.

Beans – truly magical
Beans, beans the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more nutrients your body receives. Beans are known as legumes which are seed pods that split along both sides. Other popular legumes are peas, peanuts, soybeans and lentils. Beans contain excellent amounts of Iron, fiber, Vitamin B1, phosphorus and protein. Here are a few other considerations: • Canned beans should always be rinsed to reduce sodium and other additives. • Rinsing bean water after presoaking is believed to reduce 33 percent of its flatulence-causing agents. • Beans are an inexpensive protein source and fit every budget. • Both the American Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society give beans the thumbs up! • Because of the protein and fiber combination, beans are an excellent choice when trying to regulate blood sugar levels. • Beans are known to reduce Cardiovascular disease, lower blood pressure and also contain anti-inflammatory properties. • In an effort to reduce saturated fats, skip the ham hock or bacon and season your beans with onions, garlic powder and sea salt. • Beans freeze well, so feel free to cook more than you need and freeze some for later. Here are a few recipes: “Un” fried beans – Instead of refried beans, try them “unfried.” Cooked beans can be mashed on low in the blender or food processor, slowly adding bean juice until a desired consistency is reached.

No-cheese nachos – corn tortilla chips, “un” fried beans, green lettuce or spinach in bite-size pieces, diced tomato and onion, avocado chunks and diced jalapeño, cumin, sea salt, garlic powder. Layer corn tortilla chips with “un” fried beans. Next add veggies and seasoning. Repeat for the multiple layers. Black bean tacos – cooked black beans, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, spinach, diced bell pepper, and finely chopped cilantro and corn tortillas. Heat corn tortillas until warm and soft, and then layer with spinach, beans and other veggies adding sea salt, cumin and garlic powder to taste. For even more flavor, add diced avocado and a squeeze of lime juice to each taco.

The longest-running theatrical production in Lincoln County history By Eugene Heathman In 1940, a small town folk pageant “The Last Escape of Billy the Kid” centering on the life of the legendary outlaw, Billy the Kid began an almost continuous 70-year run when San Patricio artist Peter Hurd donned the costume of and portrayed one of Lincoln County’s most notorious legends. Lifelong Lincoln County resident Dave Parks has been a narrator for the pageant for nearly 50 years. “I think I have been working the pageant long enough to have actually shaken hands with the Kid himself,” Parks said, with a chuckle. Four generations of the Parks family have participated in the pageant. Aside from a few missed episodes during World War II, the pageant’s hearty history has involved long-time Lincoln County residents and attracted spectators from all over the world. “The Last Escape of Billy the Kid,” is held annually during the first full weekend in August as a part of the Old Lincoln Days festival. “The pageant in itself is a part of Lincoln County history,” Parks said.
See history come to life!
“The pageant is amazingly simple yet so successful,” Parks said. The event is not without the trials and tribulations of many stage productions. “Every year we wonder how this thing is going to come together yet everything falls into place. No two pageants are alike. In fact, we use a few recorded narrations from folks that passed away 20 years ago,” Parks said. The pageant is one of the very few in the United States made up entirely of local players without any professional help. The episodes of the pageant are based on historical incidents which took place during the notorious Lincoln County War, and in particular its focus is centered upon the best remembered of its fighters, Billy the Kid. The Pageant portrays many scenes to include the killing of John Tunstall which precipitated Billy’s wrathful vengeance, the Battle of Blazer’s Mill in which the courageous “Buckshot Roberts” stood off Billy and his twelve cohorts, the siege of the McSween House, up to Billy’s incarceration in the Lincoln County Courthouse and his remarkable escape.
