Wine, food and fun – ‘Taste of the Spencer’ fundraiser Summertime truly sets sail as the season’s best arts party – one thrown annually in celebration of the monumental Spencer Theater – draws people from far and wide into this mountain town. Everyone is welcome to attend, and every person entering our doors leaves as a friend. The June 15 “Taste of the Spencer” at the Alto performance hall is an all-inclusive party-auction held on both levels of the state-of-art facility. Folks from different reaches of the country donate items to the fun, and hopes are that many more from around the region will come out to help make it the most successful fund raising party yet. As the theater’s most vital fundraiser of the calendar year, “Taste of the Spencer” is an evening of gourmet food tastings, generous pours of fine wine, and the auction of desirable items. A simple purchase of the $50 event ticket greatly adds to the party – and definitely helps fund annual operations of the rurally-located, non-profit theater and its cultural outreach to all people. So does the donation of any type of item or service of noted value for use in the 150-plus item auction. With the “Taste” ticket, patrons are invited to enjoy complementary samplings prepared by the theater’s outstanding chef and catering staff. This year’s offerings include such savories as oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, Angus beef and roasted turkey breast carving stations, philo-wrapped asparagus, stuffed artichoke hearts, fine cheese, fruit and desserts – and many other hors d’oeuvres. Keeping the palette wet with velvety bouquets will be hearty pours of wine (courtesy of National Distributing Company). The main action of the night will be the live and silent auctions of art, trips, 17th and 18th century antiques, jewelry, a mink coat, sporting packages, fine clothing, celebrity memorabilia and more. Highlights this year include a new 2013 Cadillac XTS, courtesy of Sierra Blanca Motors, a Kenya safari, full services at Fusion Medical Spa, an Ireland golf adventure, a freshwater fishing getaway to location of choice, a Napa
Valley cooking extravaganza, 30 tons of aggregate coarse base gravel, a rare white beige blue mink, George III period cut-glass two-light candelabra, a George II period stained oak mirror, an antique Asian dresser (possibly Thai), autographed electric guitars of rock and blues greats like Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, BB King and Neil Young, among other desirable items and services. While many of the above are high-end items, patrons should note the silent and live auctions will feature an impressive array of desirable items of all value levels. Donations are still being accepted; please contact the theater at 575-3364800 for donation information. The silent auction will be on both levels of the lobby and Steve Talbot, the celebrated auctioneer, will steer the rapid-fire live auction on the performance stage. Stay tuned for more information on auction items via mailings and the web. The listing of items will be available for preview online before the event. Call the theater’s box office at 575-336-4800 or visit www.spencertheater.com for tickets to “Taste of the Spencer.”

Trainer Fincher sets the pace in Mountain Top trials Trainer Todd Fincher won the first two of three trials to set the pace in the trials to the $167,000 Mountain Top Futurity on Friday afternoon at Ruidoso Downs. The top-three finishers in each of the trials qualify for the Mountain Top Futurity on June 22. The 10th horse in the futurity will be determined by a blind draw from the fourth-place trial finishers. In the first trial, R.D. Hubbard’s homebred Reaper made an impressive career debut when he took the lead in the stretch and then rolled to the three-quarter-length win under Duane Sterling. The gelding by Attila’s Storm looked like added distance will be to his liking after stopping the timer in 1:01.82 for the five furlongs while moving confidently through the stretch.

It then became the first tuberculosis hospital in New Mexico, a working ranch, a CCC work camp, a facility for the developmentally handicapped, a low security women’s prison and has even housed several juvenile, drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Fort Stanton LIVE!, to be held July 13-14, will bring costumed living historians from the Civil War and Indian wars eras to Fort Stanton for demonstrations, presentations, a concert and a military ball which will have visitors dancing into the night. Visitors to Fort Stanton LIVE! will interact with authors, historians, photographers, artists, a variety of historical vendors and more. At 10 a.m. in the historic Chavez Building, Dr. Earl Pittman will speak about the U. S. Army’s Return to Fort Stanton 1862-1866. Gary Cozzens, manager of the Lincoln Historic Site will speak on the Role of Ft.

Record Rainbow Futurity trials to be spread over two days
RUIDOSO DOWNS — For the first time the trials to the record Grade 1, $1 million Rainbow Futurity will be held over two days – Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5 – instead of a the previous one day of qualifying races. Last year, there were 23 Rainbow Futurity trials ran on one day. The horses with the five-fastest times from each day of trials will qualify to race in the 400-yard Rainbow Futurity July 21.“We have had a lot of horsemen and fans ask about doing this over the past few years as the number of trials has grown along with our futurities’ record-setting growth,” said General Manager Shaun Hubbard. When 25 trials to the Ruidoso Futurity were hosted May 24, the first race started at 10 a.m. and the last race was off at 7:11 p.m. Now with the trials spread during a two-day period there will be less of chance of weather impacting the races than when the races were held over a nine-hour span. “This will also alleviate the pressure of the extended workday on everyone involved with the racehorses: the jockeys, valets, gate crew, etc.,”added Hubbard. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.” The trials for the Grade 1, $1 million (est.) Rainbow Derby will now be contested Saturday, July 6 with the 440-yard Rainbow Derby July 20. Todd Fuqua/Ruidoso Free Press

Exotic wagering made easy There are two basic types of horse-racing bets - straight bets and exotic bets. The first article in this series, “Five easy steps to place your first horse racing bet” introduced straight bets including Win, PLAce and shoW. This article introduces the reader to Exotic bets which fall into two very distinct categories – single-race bets and multi-race bets. This week’s article covers the single-race bets: exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and superfectas. These exotic bets allow for multi-horse wagering on individual (single) races. • Exacta: The simplest single-race exotic bet, the Exacta requires the bettor to predict the winning horse and the second-place horse, ‘exactly’ in order. The Exacta bet will pay more than betting either of the horses individually to win or place. • Quinella: similar to the exacta, but the Quinella does not require the bettor to predict the order of the first two horses. The bettor has to predict the horses which will finish in the top two places, but does not have to predict which of those two will actually win the race. The Quinella is easier to predict than an Exacta, and also pays less than the Exacta, generally about half of the Exacta payout. • Trifecta: The Trifecta is similar to the Exacta but takes it a step further. it requires the bettor to predict the horses that finish in the top 3 positions in the race in order. Much harder to predict than an Exacta, and will pay out much more. • Superfecta: The most difficult of the single-race exotics, the superfecta, requires the bettor to predict the first four finishers, in order. Picking a winning superfecta is difficult but very profitable. Players who specialize in exotic wagers generally take different combinations of horses rather than a ‘straight’ bet of only one combination. Choosing several possible combinations of horses increases the chances of winning. For example, a ‘boxed’ wager allows you to take every possible combination of a set of horses. if you a ‘key’ a horse, you are taking the horse to win and then take several horses in combination to finish second, third, etc. The bettor can also pick individual horses and then ‘wheel’ the remaining horses. An example – if you like the #1 horse to win but want to bet an Exacta – bet “1/ALL” where you pick the #1 horse to win and any (ALL) of the remaining horses in the race to finish second. exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and superfectas are now available on almost every race at most major simulcast tracks. Exotic wagering offers the serious race horse handicapper the potential for large and even life-changing payouts, and now accounts for nearly 65 percent of all money wagered on horse racing.

Jason Adams, aka DJ Alpine, joins MTD radio LOVINGTON — The love of music is imbedded in Jason Adams’s soul. He knew what he wanted to do at an early age and set forth on that music path. He didn’t want to be a rock star, but the reporter educating listeners (and himself) on all things music. His career started with being a disc jockey at the local skating rink at 16 years old, then working at a music store to finally landing a professional DJ job on the radio. Now 16 years into his career, he joins MTD Media to further his passion. MTD Media is home to KWMW/W105.1, KTUM 107.1, KNMB 96.7, KIDX 101.5 and KRUI 1490AM and the strengths from MTD and those of Adams will accentuate the other. Plans are to broaden the scope of several stations given Adams’s talents. “I wanted to be a part of MTD because of the incredible broadcast range and to have an impact on a larger part of the state,” says Adams. MTD’s stations each reach various portions of Lincoln, Otero, Eddy, Lea and Chaves counties. Adams will co-host the Rock Solid Morning Show from Lovington with Will Rooney, the current host, piping in from Ruidoso. Adams has not done a hard rock format previously, but does have experience with Hot AC, Hip Hop and Country. “The Nerve is the
most exciting, up and coming radio station in southeast New Mexico and I wanted to be a part of it.” Adams has provided his hip hop show under the stage name “DJ Alpine” for more than 16 years and Lincoln County’s Mix 96.7 might be the new spot for his show. The Jam Zone’s format is Hip Hop geared at the younger crowd getting ready to go out on the town. The Mix is Hot AC, but with the mindset for all great modern music. “The show has been a great place for kids to jam out on Friday and Saturday nights,” describes Adams. While Adams has done interviews for shows and events, K T H E he has never hosted a full-fledged talk show. This will change with Adams helping Will Rooney to host New Mexico in the Morning, a live radio talk show on KRUI and KWMW weekdays at 9 a.m. NM in the Morning airs interviews on people, places and events

throughout southeastern New Mexico. Most interviews take place either in the station or on the phone but Adams hopes to be that on-the-scene reporter getting the action as it happens. Listeners might catch Adams here and there on the MTD air waves the next few weeks, but he won’t be full-time until later in June. In the meantime, Adams is helping The Nerve with some new music, an updated format and becoming 100 percent local. Southeast New Mexico has gotten used to seeing Adams at remotes and doing DJ and Emcee work at live events throughout the region and this will continue. MTD Media fully supports comCLASSIC ROCK munity involvement and building strong relationships. MTD salutes Adams previous employers for giving him the latitude and experience to propel him where he is and envision MTD providing even more opportunities for his career. Welcome, Jason.

Rascal Fair is back
By Milu Abel Back for the 2013 season, the Rascal Fair White Oaks Community Market has kicked off this season with many additions. The vendors are excited to be back and ready for business. The range of local crafts and produce is quite diverse, one can expect such crafts as local pottery, homemade baskets, items of clothing and many other goods. Considering the rough conditions of our growing climate, and the strain of distance betweens ones home and nursery/growing space, the Fair has continued to supply necessities for gardens and gardeners of all degrees. The market managers had gathered together enough resources to pro-
vide a running food cart to continue the Fairs growth. Sourcing local and organic ingredients, a steady and reliable source of food can be expected at the Rascal Fair this season. With it’s simplistic and charming feeling, the Fair’s abundance in variation offers much for many to enjoy. Open every Friday, from 4 to 7 p.m., the Rascal Fair is ready for grumbling stomachs and enthusiasts alike.

Jumping out of my comfort zone I have a long list of things I want to accomplish this summer and many activities on this list include ways to enhance my experiences of life. Jumping out of my comfort zone is high up there on the list of things I hope to accomplish. To jump out of my comfort zone, I will be trying things I’ve never tried before, and will also work on things I feel uncomfortable doing. Numerous items made the list, including white-water rafting, singing at a karaoke opportunity, and learning new styles of dance. While my freestyle dancing skills are okay, I hope to learn more partner style dances including salsa and the waltz. This style of dancing is not very easy for me as I have a hard time following instruction and direction. I have been known to dance to the beat of my own drum. While there are many of us out there who are a little shy or insecure about dancing, I feel I have much more to overcome. You see, I have an identical twin sister and she is an amazing ballroom dancer. When people ask me to dance, they often mistake me for her. We are often mistaken because we are rarely seen together as we have different social outlets. When I’m called on the dance floor they think they are getting a skilled dancer who can follow any lead, but that’s not the case when it comes to me as I can often find myself taking extra steps, often on the wrong direction and sometimes right on to my partner’s toes. In order to help myself overcome these insecurities, I will remind myself of the simple statements: • We all begin somewhere, as we all have tried something new for the first time. It is good that I allow myself to try and it is okay if I am not

an expert right away. • Most people are too busy enjoying themselves to worry about what I’m doing, so I won’t worry about onlookers and will feel free to let loose. • Most people want to encourage someone who’s trying something new. So for those who feel the need to judge or laugh, that may just be their personality and hopefully one day they will cheer the underdog rather than make fun. • Life is for living, loving and learning. It’s okay for me to laugh at myself as I learn to love life through different outlets. • If I don’t give up, I’ll eventually get good at it. Perhaps you want to try something new and are little insecure. I hope you consider the list I have provided. It is important for us to challenge ourselves to learn new things which can benefit our health as new growth can inspire our intellectual, emotional and social wellbeing and can enhance our quality of life by allowing a new outlet in which to experience joy.

A chat with artist-designer Kathy Katelin in historic Lincoln By Rosalyn Stevenson In a recent chat, Katelin talked about her motivation and her work: “I’ve been driven since childhood to express myself in various art forms. It is a gift God has given me and I must use it as well and for as long as I can. I am obsessive about exploring various avenues of creativity. I taught art in Texas high schools for 35 years before moving to Lincoln County where I’ve lived for the past six years. When I get an idea for a piece of jewelry or art, I see the work completed and then I begin. I consider form and function and materials and color schemes. With jewelry, in addition to traditional materials, I like using unusual materials such as galvanized steel, chrome, and organic stones. I like to experiment with more industrial materials at times, too, incorporating them into a design that is comfortable. Each necklace may take a day or two to complete.
As I go along, I get new ideas from each piece of completed work. The ideas just keep flowing. The motivation is in seeking something new, something different in each piece. I’m always seeking some new way of expression in each unique piece. My decorative boxes take two or three days to construct. I sometimes use faceted semi-precious gemstones on them. I use silver and gold leaf and bronze and copper leaf on them. Each element of the design is carefully placed and secured. Sculptural elements have to be considered. I hope that when people visit my shop they will take away with them the impression of the uniqueness of the items I make and also of the possibilities of materials that can be used and that there is more than one way of making a piece. Fandango is the name of a romantic Mexican dance and also refers to a party, a whimsical Friday night party. I named my shop Fandango because I see life as
