To the Editor: This year, The International Day of Peace, a.k.a.“Peace Day” is on Friday, Sept. 21. It was first established in 1981 by a resolution from the United Nations (http://cultureofpeace.org/agencies) with the purpose for all humanity to work in cooperation towards worldwide peace.

Since it began, Peace Day has reminded us to reflect on our personal and global progress towards peace.

Peace Day celebrations have grown to include millions of people from all over the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day.

Now you might be thinking, as a whole, humanity, hasn’t gained too much ground in this respect. Just think of all the war and violence still going on in the world today.

However, perhaps that is part of the problem…our focus is on all the violence going on ‘out there in the world’ instead of each of us focusing on what we personally can do today to promote peace.

You may have heard of “the ripple effect,’ “the butterfly effect” or “the domino effect.” All of these concepts suggest the interdependence of all life and that what one aspect of life does effects all of life. So in keeping with this train of thought, each and every one of us now has the opportunity to move humanity into the direction of being more peaceful.

“How?” you might ask. How can little ol’ me in New Mexico, do such a great thing as to help bring about a more peaceful world?

Here’s one way — participate in our local Peace Day Celebration.

When millions of people in all parts of the world come together on the same day, with the same intention for promoting peace, the impact is huge.

Here are some opportunities of how you can help with your local Peace Day Celebration: • Attend one of our planning meetings, which are open to the public on Mondays @ 3:30 at the Ruidoso Public Library • Join the Peace Choir that will be performing on Peace Day, call Lou Ann at 808-8133.

• If you are an individual musician or member of a band, poet, dancer or artist of any age, call 937-2725 to schedule your performance or demonstration of your art on Peace Day. • Plan to participate in Peace Day activities: morning peace meditation, walk in the peace parade, more activities TBA. • Clubs, Churches, local organizations and businesses can sponsor refreshments, advertising, or miscellaneous expenses needed for the celebration, or sponsor prizes for a poetry/art contest • Teachers can incorporate peace activities in their lesson planning.

This is our chance to do our part in ushering in a more peaceful world.

Remember to mark your calendar for Sept. 21.

Let us have a massive and joyous celebration. Together, we can make it happen.

May we all think, speak and act peaceful now.

Records will crumble during Tour de Ruidoso century, 100-mile course record with a time of 4 hours, 52 minutes.”

The Fifth Annual Tour de Ruidoso is a fundraising event to benefit a nonprofit groups of Lincoln County.

The challenge began with a climb from an altitude of 6,840 ft. to 7,485 ft., a downhill segment and a climb back to 7,482 ft. and then dropping back down to 7,257 ft. during the grueling first 6 miles. The route then descends from the evergreen forest into the Chihuahuan Desert, winding into Capitan. The Century riders climb to the Capitan Gap. From Capitan, the route continued east, then south to Fort Stanton with a climb up the mesa then passing the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport. Open country and magnificent views in addition to near perfect weather conditions guided the riders back to Highway 48 and into Ruidoso for the finish line. The beautiful scenery will amaze you as you tour through history. Geronimo’s Apaches roamed these hills.

New Mexico author reveals her experiences with aliens in ‘Fear of “Speaking the Unspeakable”’ In 1998, I settled in the ghost town of White Oaks, New Mexico, located on the western end of the Capitan Mountains in Lincoln County. There I met people who talked of mythical giants who had once lived there, of hidden treasure and other ancient civilizations.

I believe we humans carry all history in our memory buried deep. I also believe that our planet Earth is a living history book.

If we look deep enough and long enough and ask enough questions, we will be shown the answers.

As far back as I can remember, I have communicated telepathically with what I call “shadow people.”

As a five-year-old, my father and I visited the UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. What a surprise for me to find a replica of one of my little people friends behind a glass case, and lots of aluminum-like objects lying in the case along with the little alien. I was told about the UFO crash near Roswell and that there were little aliens inside the ship, but no one wanted to believe there was the possibility of other beings in the universe besides the people on Earth.

This is my life story, of gathering the courage and having the faith to come forward and relate my experiences with extraterrestrials, UFOs, psychic healing, unexplainable laser marks, dimensional orbs and vortexes of energy. The time has come to speak the unspeakable.

laser treatment, with fewer complications, less pain and faster recovery.

Combination Fractional Ablative & Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing: Palomar has received the first FDA clearance for skin resurfacing procedures using a combination of ablative and non-ablative fractional lasers. Palomar’s combination treatments offer a same-day approach to allow the tailoring of depth, coagulation, and ablation to an individual’s needs - helping to maximize treatment outcomes while minimizing downtime.

‘Following the successful platform model of previous Palomar systems, the Palomar Icon is customizable for unique needs through the use of treatment-specific handpieces powered by a single base unit. The Palomar Icon is truly a new generation of technology,” said Gregory Altshuler, Ph. D., Senior Vice-President of Research. “We have completely redesigned this platform technology from the ground

up. The Palomar Icon features increases in both power and cooling that can improve treatment outcomes and promote greater comfort.”

As a pioneer of fractional technology, Palomar is an owner of fundamental intellectual property in this area. In December 2009, Palomar received the first United States Food and Drug Administration clearance for the treatment of stretch marks using a fractional non-ablative laser. In September 2010, Palomar received the first FDA clearance for a fractional ablative and fractional non-ablative combination treatment.

There are now millions of laser and light-based aesthetic procedures performed around the world every year in physician offices and clinics”.

For the majority of people, body weight goes up with age-an average of a pound a year after 25, according to the American Medical Association. Added weight tends to be composed primarily of fat tissue, not lean muscle. Therefore, people over 30 should be more concerned about losing fat than weight.

•

During the aging process people tend to become less active, and the body’s basal metabolism rate slows a bit each year. So our foodenergy requirements-the number of calories needed to maintain weight-decrease. If we don’t cut down on calories/and or get some exercise, those extra calories will add up to a lot of pounds.

The No. 1 fat fighter is exercise.

Being active burns calories – 200 or more an hour during brisk walking, for instance. However, exercise revs up our metabolic rate, not only during the activ-

ity itself but for hours afterward.

“An active skinny person burns 600 calories more each day than a sedentary one,” says Dr. Gabe Mirkin, associate clinical professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine Exercising helps maintain bone strength, enhances heart and lung function, improves skin tone and helps the body absorb nutrients no matter how old you are when you start exercising. People over 40 who exercise can score higher than the average 20-year-old on aerobic endurance. “Ninety-nine percent of us are below our potential, so we can practically reverse the aging process and become better as the years go by,” says Dr. Richard Stein, director of the Exercise Laboratory at the State University of New York Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn.

Walking will do it, if it’s brisk and continuous,” Dr. Stein adds. So will swimming, riding a stationary bicycle,or low-impact aerobic dancing.

Wind Center expands to solar energy TUCUMCARI – The North American Wind Research and Training Center at Mesalands Community College will be offering a new course in the Introduction to Solar Energy this semester. This course will allow the College, internationally known for its Wind Energy Technology Program, to expand into other renewable energy fields.

Introduction to Solar Energy is a three-credit course and will be instructed by Robert G. Hockaday, President and Founder of Energy Related Devices in Tucumcari. Energy Related Devices is a new business in Tucumcari that builds solar electricity water pumping systems for farmers and ranchers. This business was located in Los Alamos, but relocated to Tucumcari to better serve their customers.

Hockaday explains the high demand for solar energy.

“The whole solar energy field is very dynamic right now,” Hockaday said. “This industry has been growing 35 percent per year and has been doing that for the past 20 years. We are projecting that in year 2017, that solar energy will be competitive with the fossil fuel power plants.”

Hockaday worked at the Los Alamos Natural Laboratory for

15 years. He has a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics. Hockaday also has 20 issued patents and three pending patents on various energy systems.

He says he’s excited to be teaching the new solar energy course at Mesalands and encourages anyone that is interested in solar energy, or the practical point of view, to register.

Students in the Introduction to Solar Energy course will learn how small and large solar energy devices, the cost of residential solar panels, and will gain hands on experience installing and diagnosing solar energy equipment. Course Topics include: Historical Roots of Solar Power, Solar Energy Terminology and Components, Market Developments and the Future of Solar Power, Solar Power Installations, and the Roles and Players involved.

Weekly classes will start Sept. 25 and will end Dec. 4.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays at the Wind Center. Interested students should contact 575461-4413, ext. 156, or toll-free at 800-261-4877.

USDA helps build a secure energy future

By Terry Brunner State Director, USDA Rural Development In June 2011, the Obama Administration announced a set of new initiatives designed to modernize the Nation’s electric infrastructure, bolster electricgrid innovation, and advance a clean energy economy.

During that announcement the Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack charged USDA with the goal of investing $250 million in smart-grid technology across the country. A year later, we are happy to report that USDA has met that goal.

Under the Department’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) we have administered loans to rural cooperatives to help modernize our smart grid technologies. RUS has a long history of contributing to our country’s reliable infrastructure. Since 1936, the program has become the primary lender to more than 600 rural electric systems including electric cooperatives, public power systems, and tribal utilities.

“This is one more step in our effort to modernize rural America’s electric grid,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “Smart grid technologies give consumers greater control over their electric costs and help utili-

ties efficiently manage power generation and delivery.” Since fiscal year 2011, USDA has funded more than $250 million in smart grid projects serving rural consumers nationwide.

This will further enable rural utilities to make efficiency improvements to the electric grid that will help consumers lower their electric bills by reducing energy use in homes and businesses.

According to President Obama’s Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future, this $250 million investment in loan funds for smart grid technologies will facilitate the integration of renewable sources of electricity into the grid, help avoid blackouts and restore power quicker when outages occur, and reduce the need for new power plants.

Smart grid technologies also help consumers and entrepreneurs make informed decisions. Innovative consumer products and services – such as thermostats that can be controlled from a smart phone, or websites that show how much energy a house is using – can help Americans save money on their electricity bills.

For example, many New Mexico electric cooperatives funded by USDA have begun to implement smart grid technology including automated meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems and related equipment. It’s expected it will take more than four years to convert the electric meters to AMR or AMI systems here in New Mexico.

This new technology sends electric usage information from the consumer to the cooperative. Ultimately, the technology is designed to cut labor costs and provide for better management of energy loads.

New Western energy market could mean consumer savings NMPRC’s Jason Marks leads regional effort on energy imbalance market

Can the creation of an Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) save electricity consumers money while securing enhanced system reliability benefits for real-time markets in the West?

Representatives from a 13-state EIM task force will meet with key industry executives to discuss those questions and others at the Western Public Utility Commissioners Energy Imbalance Market Meeting on Sept. 13 and 14 in Tempe, Ariz.

Leading the meeting will be New Mexico Public Regulation Commissioner Jason Marks, Chair of the Public Utility Commissioners’ EIM Group (PUC EIM). As chair, Marks works with fellow utility commissioners, Western Interstate Energy Board staff, industry representatives and others on developing robust cost-benefit analyses and other prerequisites for the adoption of Western EIM. Today in the West, 37 separate balancing authorities work separately to manage imbalances between scheduled electric generation and fluctuating realtime electric demand. An EIM would eliminate this duplication by balancing electricity across the broader region and

saving money for consumers by making more efficient use of existing generation and transmission infrastructure. Low costs are made possible by things like reducing fuel costs, creating less wear generating plants from rapid cycling and reducing the need for reserves.

Research sponsored by the PUC EIM group indicates an EIM could result in net benefits to consumers in excess of $100 million per year shared across the West, including New Mexico.

The market being studied would be limited to reducing the cost of withinthe-hour energy imbalances. It would be explicitly restricted from becoming a full-fledged “restructured” market for all electricity of that type proposed for New Mexico but abandoned after the California energy crisis of 2000-01.

During his time on the PRC, Marks has become a sought-after speaker on energy policy and regulation in the US. The commissioner’s involvement in regional and national efforts on regulatory issues and renewable energy has benefits for New Mexico and businesses interested in coming to our state for energy development projects. In April, Marks testified on behalf of the PUC EIM before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources on Energy Secretary Stephen Chu’s memorandum supporting a Western EIM.

Hunters remember: Safety first

As hunting season gets under way, hunters should remember firearm safety must be their primary concern.

Accidental deaths and injuries have dropped dramatically since hunter education became a requirement for New Mexico hunters under the age of 18 in 1977. Unfortunately, hunting accidents still occur due to carelessness.

To stay safe, hunters should memorize these four safety rules and always follow them: Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Horseplay is never safe.

Control the muzzle of your firearm.

Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and

ready to shoot. Know your target and what is beyond it.

New Mexico conservation officers investigate all reported hunting accidents. Most are self-inflicted and occur when hunters think their gun is unloaded. Even though it is not illegal to have a loaded firearm in a vehicle, it is never safe. Whether you are in camp or in a vehicle, always unload and check the gun. If you cross an obstacle or a fence, unload and leave the action open.

Throughout the hunting season, officers will be checking hunters for violations. To report a wildlife-law or safety violation, call 800-432-GAME (4263).
