With only one city council-lor voting against it, the Park Ridge boomer medical commu-nity development won approval Monday, Aug. 19, for rezoning a key 30 acres of the 110 acres of the former Las Cruces Country Club.

Bob Pofahl, a developer working with the country club

organization to redevelop the property, said the rezoning was critical for continuing work on the costly design and engineering process for a planned unit development (PUD) approval for the whole property and for securing a 42-bed, single-fl oor boutique hospital.

Aft er deciding to allow the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins reported that more than 50 licenses were issued Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Ellins said he has been considering issuing licenses since June, when Attorney General Gary King issued a position that New Mexico’s ban on issuing marriage licenses to same-gender couples is unconstitutional. Since then, King – in a legal brief to the New Mexico Supreme Court – has refused to defend the ban and has asked the Supreme Court to declare New Mexico’s prohibition of same-gender marriage unconstitutional under the state’s constitution. Last week, the court declined to issue a ruling.

“Th at means, it could be many months or years before the matter is resolved,” Ellins said. “In the meantime, I am mindful that I took an oath of offi ce to uphold the Constitution of the State of New Mexico as Doña Ana County clerk.

“I am an attorney, and I have read the AG’s opinion, and I fi nd it to be sound. Aft er careful review of New Mexico’s laws, it is clear that the state’s marriage statutes are gender neutral and do not expressly prohibit Doña Ana County from issuing marriage licenses to same-gender couples. Any further denial of marriage licenses to these couples violates the United States and New Mexico Constitution and the New Mexico Human Rights Act.

Benjamin Rawson, the newly appointed Doña Ana County commissioner for District 3, is 31 and stepping into public of-fice for the first time.

He has, however, been preparing for the role since he was 4 years old.

The son of former state Sen. Leonard Lee Rawson, Ben Rawson said he talked his dad into letting him ring doorbells during the elder Rawson’s first run for the Roundhouse.

He learned young that running and serving involves a seri-ous time commitment.

“Dad was always prepared to answer a call, to read and ask questions so he would be prepared for meetings,” Ben Rawson said.

During his student days, he interned in government in New Mexico and Michigan.

He joined the family business, Rawson Builders Supply Inc., 11 years ago, while his dad was still in the Legislature.

Now, Leonard Lee Rawson is back in the business full time and it’s Ben Rawson’s turn to enter politics and government, the younger Rawson said.

He will bring with him the conservative principles he be-lieves helped the business weather the recent recession.

Looking ahead in politicsRawson said he and his wife, Kirsten, often discussed his in-

terest in public service, especially during the past few months when the right time appeared to be approaching.

When Karen Perez resigned from the District 3 seat in July, Rawson was ready.

“We always knew I wanted to be involved,” Rawson said. “I heard about it on Friday, and on Monday morning I con-tacted Gov. (Susana) Martinez’s office.”

He said serving at the county level is perfect for him. State or national office would require uprooting or being absent from his young family, a sacrifice he’s not willing to make.

Kirsten and Ben Rawson are the parents of Isabelle, 1, William, 4, and Heidi, 6, who held the Bible during her father’s swearing-in ceremony.

Rawson jumped into action immediately after he was sworn in, with a round of meetings at the roads department, animal shelter, fleet and codes office and visits that took him to Tortugas and other distant corners of the county.

Chatting in his office at Rawson Inc. Saturday, Aug. 17, he said he was looking forward to an upcoming meeting with the county treasurer to begin learning more about government ac-counting and to immersing himself in the budget process.

Governing like a businessCrafting a tighter budget is a priority for Rawson.“We’re being challenged to manage in a more creative and

careful way,” he said.His undergraduate business studies with Thomas Edison

State College and MBA curriculum at New Mexico State University gave him a background in business accounting.

His experience with the family business proved to him the value of conservative decision making.

“We had four competitors before the recession and they’re all gone,” he said. “We found places to save money.”

He said the company moved people around, didn’t replace those who left and reduced their operating expenses in assorted ways, such as changing phone service.

Rawson described his fellow commissioners as “a good group of people” and said he looks forward to working with them.

He said he is committed, however, to not raising taxes. The commissioners must determine where cuts can be made and prioritize to avoid painful decreases in county services.

“I am really disappointed with the one-sided perspective we’ve been getting on the county commission,” said Rawson, a Republican.

“Other than the Democrat-Republican switch, I am the only person on the commission who is not retired, and I think I can bring in the perspective of what it’s like to raise a family in Doña Ana County,” he said. “I am concerned about the long term. I have lived here all my life, and I believe my kids will be living here the rest of their lives. This is home for us.”

Mixing college and governmentRawson’s exposure to the process of governing began when

he became a page in Santa Fe.“I heard the debates, got coffee and became very familiar

with the political process,” he said.He interned in the office of Gov. Gary Johnson for three

regular sessions and one special session.“I read each bill and decided which agencies would be

impacted by proposed bills, and then sent the information to those agencies,” he said.

When the agencies completed their analyses, Rawson as-sembled them for the lawmakers.

“Legislative experience is key in analyzing issues at the lo-cal level,” he said. “When we need help from Santa Fe, I will know the different agencies and how they play together.” Rawson also worked for Michigan Gov. John Engler’s speech writer, Gleaves Whitney, and contributed to two state of the state addresses.

Rawson completed his undergraduate studies in 2003 and became an analyst for the New Mexico House of Representatives the same year.

He earned an MBA at NMSU in 2012. Rawson serves as treasurer of the Las Cruces Home Builders

Association and is a member of the board of the New Mexico Home Builders Association.

Since he’s no longer leading a double life as business man-ager and graduate student, Rawson is transitioning to his new dual identity as business manager and county commissioner.

Just as he plans to take the long view of county finances, he also takes a long view in politics.

“I intend to,” he said when asked if he would run for the commission seat in the next election.

His appointment will end Dec. 31, 2014.“I think we need stability and leadership on the commission,”

he said.

Farmers & Crafts Market revisitedStroll with the soul of LC

Letters to the Editor

Q. What did the Buddhist say at the taco truck?A. Make me one with everything.

If you’ve ever heard Johnny Cash’s song “Ring of Fire,” written by his wife, June Carter, you may recall its chorus of mariachi trumpets.

Th e Man in Black once said the idea of arranging the song with those trumpets came to him in a dream.

Last week at the Las Cruces Farmers & Craft s Market, Cash and mariachi collided once again, with some carne asada on the side.

It’s been a while since I’d wandered down Main Street on a Saturday morning to experience the market, but I had run out of honey, so I had to get a new batch of Sun Mountain Honey. Sun Mountain, based in Radium Springs, has several fl avors of locally produced honey. Valley Blend is the one I get. Local honey is supposed to be a great anti-dote to allergy and a general health booster. Plus it tastes great in hot tea or in sopaipillas.

Anyway, back to Johnny Cash.My stroll down Main Street started at the north end, and it’s easy to get distracted by

all the cool art, food and other items at the diff erent booths. It’s even easier to get dis-tracted by the people. If you’ve lived in Las Cruces any time at all, you’re likely to run into friends old and new at the market.

Oh yeah. Mariachis.Th ere are dozens of great scents at the market, including leather, soap, coff ee, hot dogs

and the ubiquitous kettle popcorn. In fact, there is something for all fi ve senses at the market. One of the best things for the sense of touch is to pet one of the many dogs people bring on leashes Downtown. With permission, of course.

All the food and beverage smells started making me hungry. I stopped fi rst at Beck’s Coff ee for some piping-hot, fresh java.

Getting to Johnny Cash soon, I swear.Next stop, Cocina Mexicana Express, parked on Griggs Avenue. One of the best Saturday morning meals in Las Cruces is the carne asada tacos at the

Rey de Reyes food truck at Big Daddy’s Flea Market on the East Mesa where I live. I had eaten at Cocina Mexicana before and been pleased, but was wondering how its carne asada would compare.

Deciding against the tacos (awfully messy to eat in the street), I opted for the carne asada burrito. “Would you like it with everything,” I was asked. “What is everything?” I replied. “Chile, onions, cilantro and avocado,” she said. “Absolutely everything,” I said.

As soon as my burrito was ready, I grabbed it and headed south on Main to the last block of the market and immediately walked right into the blast of a mariachi trumpet. Th e trumpet, violin and guitars drew me. I looked for a place to sit and partake of my cof-fee and carne. Just behind the mariachis, I spied the perfect spot, the shady eastern front of New America School. Th e mariachis fi nished their song and I realized another musical group was playing, just about 50 feet south. Sounded like rockabilly with an edge.

Th e mariachis started back up, the perfect complement to a killer carne asada burrito and coff ee.

Straight facts on the Alaska Permanent Fund

I do not wish to engage Michael Swickard on New Mexico; his opinions are his own and he is entitled to them. However, when he digresses to the Alaska Permanent Fund (in his Aug. 16 column) he falls more than a little short on understanding the facts. If he wishes to rant on that topic he should get to know Jay Hammond. Jay was a crusty old poet and USMC fi ghter pilot in the Pacifi c War. He came to Alaska as an independent, ran for gover-nor and won two consecutive terms on the Republican ticket and behaved like a Democrat all his life.

He was both the father and the midwife to the Alaska Permanent Fund. I spent 45 years of my adult life in Alaska. My interests were in the indigenous peoples of the Arctic, the environ-ment, emerging statehood, petroleum, and nurturing my family. During these wonderful years, I got to know Hammond. Th ere was potential for great wealth. Th ere were diverse groups, each with their own ideas of what needed to be done. A great compromise would emerge out of this struggle in Alaska.

Th e Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act gave land, wealth and power to the indig-enous peoples. Th e Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act established parks and reserves. Th e oil industry gained a right of way to build their pipeline and extensive drill-ing leases. Th e state got royalties and time to complete their statehood land selection. Some of the people even got jobs. Th e money fl owed, and Hammond had an idea rooted in the phi-losophy that the people are the true owners and stewards of natural resources and should share in the profi t and responsibility of ownership. Also, when the resources are non-renewable there should be an endowment established for future generations. Th us, the Alaska Perma-nent Fund was born, not an easy delivery, but the little son of a gun not only made it but has grown strong over the years. A percentage of the annual income from oil is invested and a percentage of the interest on the principal is paid out as an annual dividend to every resi-dent (the owners) of the state. Everyone gets a piece of the pie and most are moderately happy. However, most every journey has a secret destination seldom recognized even aft er that

See Market on page A5

When they stopped again, I heard the unmistakable lyrics from the rockabilly boys: “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Aft er the music, I walked back north, stopping to check out one of the great color-ful shelves made by Ernie Bean. Th ey’re the perfect size to showcase my collection of pint logo glasses from New Mexico breweries.

Walking along some more, I saw an older black man wearing a Motley Crüe concert T-shirt. Th at struck me as a bit incongru-ous. Th en I looked down at my own T-shirt, promoting the New Mexico Buff alo Soldier Society. Perhaps equally incongruous.

Th e Las Cruces Farmers & Craft s Mar-ket – a great mix of the expected and the unexpected.

A friend likes to say, “If you do not get what you want, check the incentives you are using.” Th at is great advice. Everything in life is tied to incentives and we must use correct incentives to be successful.

Th e use of incentives has been in eff ect as long as humans have walked the Earth. Even people ignorant of the principle still apply good incentives because it leads to success. Many people do not realize how success is achieved while others fi nd it simple.

B. F. Skinner contended we humans are condi-tioned to do more of what we like and less of what we dislike. If what we like leads us to success, then we are successful. Since this is not rocket science, all humans should be happy. However, for the most part many Americans are not happy.

One explainer is that humans are noted for their contradictions. Doing wrong things and expecting successful outcomes is a contradic-tion. Worse, people continue doing wrong things even though they never get success. Buying Lottery tickets and expecting to win comes to mind.

Does that mean the incentive factors do not work? No, they work all too well. Our

missing incentives for success condemn most of us to not achieving the success we want. But it can change in an instant when we real-ize that we must use the right incentives.

Let us apply this to what is happening in our world where people are not getting what they want. What is it that they want and what incentives are they willing to use? Most

people want to be safe, healthy and without money woes.

We recognize the contra-dictions when Americans go places they know are danger-ous, continue unhealthy be-haviors and use a fi scal policy only a lunatic would consider. Th is is not a recipe for success. Very occasionally someone can go against all good advice and prosper, but that is not the way to bet.

Most of us wish to live in a society where our children and grandchildren live better lives than us. It was the wish

of my grandparents and my parents that I live a better life. Th e rub is that this generation has spent the last 40 years spending our money and our children’s money and our grandchil-dren’s money.

Th e national debt is around $70 trillion, which works out to about $250,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in our nation. And it is getting worse. More Americans are riding in and fewer are pulling the fi nancial cart. Will my children and grandchildren live a better life than me? Not if my generation leaves nothing but debts.

Of course, it could all change if our energy policy was such that America was energy independent and our private sector was going strong. Th is assumes politicians not spend that extra bounty. With the extra revenue America could rein in the runaway spending and leave a fi ne world for our children.

Th is leads me to wonder: What incen-tives have we Americans put in place for our economy to zoom and dispense with this overwhelming debt? None, we are still print-ing money. We have turned off the engine of prosperity for political reasons. Politicians passed a health care law that takes the private sector to its knees.

We have a society that insists on sitting rather than pulling the wagon. Th eir incentive is to get something for nothing. Th is fl awed incentive will lead to a bad ending for all of us Americans.

Th ese people waiting on a handout will be very much at risk if the economy crashes for good. Who can the politicians rob to pay their political debts when the whole economy crashes like it did in Germany in the 1920s? Th ere will be no one left . Th e “rich” will fl ee the country or lose like the rest of us.

Most of us plan to hunker down and try to ride out the wild ride when the people who do not work have no one left to rob. Th is missing incentive for success will shape our future. What we miss the most in our country are reasonable people who can understand incentives.

Michael Swickard hosts the syndicated radio talk show News New Mexico from 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays. He can be contacted at [email protected].

Our missing incentives for successNo one left to rob if the economy crashesdestination is reached. Th e great compro-

mise was not perfect and problems remain, but Alaska is probably better off and maybe a little wiser because of it. Th at crusty inde-pendent old fi ghter pilot and poet was not a bad Republican governor or a Democrat. In fact, he may have been the best governor Alaska will ever have. Could it be that Jay just had a lot of other things for us to learn?

By the way, I do recall several years ago fi lling up my pickup truck with gas in a place called Cold Foot. Th e pump was located less than 50 yards from the Trans Alaska Pipeline and not far from the North Slope Oil Fields and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. And, as I also recall, I paid a little over $5 a gallon.

Keepers of the fl agI have the distinct pleasure of having

custody and responsibility of the City of Las Cruces garrison fl ag.

Th e garrison (post) fl ag is a large (12-foot-by-19-foot) American fl ag that is fl own on all traditional and patriotic holidays. Garrison fl ag dates are set by the Mayor’s Veterans Advisory Board. Cur-rently, there are 22 dates, including Veterans Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

On these dates, the fl ag is raised promptly at 8 a.m. and lowered at 5 p.m. Ron, from the Marine Corps League, sup-plies a bugle for Revielle and Retreat. We say a prayer prior to raising the fl ag, usually led by Lawrence, Larry or Robert.

Ed, Ralph and Dan handle the lanyard and are responsible for raising and lowering the fl ag. We recite the Pledge of Allegiance aft er the fl ag is raised and secured.

Flag folding at retreat is usually done by Walt or Charlie. Other veterans assist and include World War II veterans Lloyd, Stuart, Archie, Dwight, Art and Frank. Veterans of more recent confl icts include Mario, Billy, Bruce, Manuel, Carlos and Alvin.

We are all veterans and enjoy the cama-raderie that the garrison fl ag provides us when we get together on those fl ag dates.

We would love to have more assistance from young children, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and ROTC groups to give them an opportunity to get their hands on the fl ag. Please come join us for the next fl ag raising on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2. For more information on all the garrison fl ag dates, call me at 524-6220.

“Th e data is clear − Calves that arrive healthy and stay healthy at the feedlot make more money.”

Th is was printed in bold letters at the be-ginning of an article in one of our industry publications.

What! I read the headline again. What’s the catch? I turned it over and read it upside down. It must be a trick question. A play on words? A bad pun? Th ere must be a deeper meaning to this bold statement.

Should it have said: “Calves who stay healthy, etc. have better eyesight, higher IQs, are tastier, are better at hopscotch, have a better chance of being featured in a vaccine ad.”

In all fairness to the sci-entist, or more probably the editor, they had a limited space and wanted to be succinct. And ... it did catch my eye immediately. I guess it is our duty as scientists, veterinar-ians, nutritionists and farmers to run experi-ments to prove the obvious. Without this option, how would students fi nd material for post-graduate theses?

However, I can picture scenarios where the statement is obvious, but not always true. Th e sky is always lighter when the sun comes up. “Duh.” Th en an eclipse rises up.

Th e data is clear − Frogs who do not have their feet tied up can leap farther than frogs that have their legs taped to their body.

Th e horse that fi nishes fi rst wins the race.Really? How ’bout a disqualifi cation for making faces at the crowd, making fun of another jockey’s colors, or changing horses at the fi nal turn?

I spent many years in feedlots. Lots of things were predictable, like mud, BRD, mill fi res, OSHA inspections, blizzards, bovine escapes and pickups that smell like pour-on, fermented silage, rumen contents, antibiot-ics, paint cans, burnt oil and manure. But timing is crucial. Say the owner of pen No. 304 arrives just aft er the front end loader

scraping that very same pen dozed off , fl attened 10 feet of concrete bunk, tore out the gate, stripped the cable and ran over four head of napping 1,200-pound steers. If the manager had only bought the visiting owner one more round of Spicy V-8 juice over lunch, they would have been able to have the remaining healthy steers in No. 304 moved to another

pen and explained later. And what is obvious to one of us isn’t al-

ways obvious to everyone. Can you imagine this question in an Animal Science Class at University of Nebraska, Lincoln:

1. Do cattle that arrive healthy and stay healthy at the feedlot make more money than cattle that arrive sick and stay sick?

a. Yesb. Noc. It all depends on the marketBut sometimes the logic becomes crystal

clear. I was at a cattlemen’s meeting and overheard a cattle feeder remark, “Th e calves that got sick and died right away, made more than those that lingered on and died eventually.”

Th is week, thousands of students begin classes this semester at New Mexico State University. Th is time of year always reminds me of one student, in particular, who arrived at NMSU on a hot summer day 37 years ago in a VW bus with homemade curtains, a bed in the back and no air conditioning.

Today, Brad Gordon is a retired corporate executive. He was a venture capitalist and involved in the startup of 11 companies, mostly in the biotech fi eld. He is a proud NMSU alum-nus and a successful businessman by every measure – but all of this good fortune almost did not happen.

Gordon was born in Nashville and grew up in Evansville, Ind., on the southern Indiana border with Kentucky. It was a small, southern Ohio River town. Aft er graduating from high school, he went on to attend a Big Ten universi-ty. Unfortunately, failing grades got him kicked out of school during his junior year. Dejected, he then applied at other, smaller schools in the region, but to no avail. His grades continued to haunt him, so he moved to California, unsure of what he would do.

It was there that a career counselor advised Gordon of the possibility of attending college in New Mexico, where he could start anew, have a chance at rebuilding his GPA and, per-haps, enter graduate school someday. He wisely chose NMSU and arrived in August 1976.

At the time, Las Cruces was a much smaller town. Aside from an inspiring view of the Organ Mountains, Gordon felt as if he had landed in the middle of a barren desert. He ex-perienced culture shock. Some of the students he found wore large hats, pointed boots and big belt buckles – things he had only seen in cowboy movies. He was a self-described hippie, and let’s just say it was easy to spot him and his VW bus on campus among the student body.

Over the next three years, Gordon’s life changed in a major way. He felt he had arrived

as a stranger in a strange land, on a voyage of life discovery. Fortunately, his voyage was a success. NMSU is where Gordon “found himself.” He discovered who he was and what he wanted to do with his life.

Among the people he met at NMSU was Robin Peterson, a marketing professor who would become an important mentor, along with other friendly people who cared about his academic success. NMSU gave Gordon purpose, ability and direction – and more than anything else, a belief in himself, his abilities and his talents and how to put them to use to make an impact. He uncovered his true poten-tial in life and how to succeed.

Gordon found that NMSU is all about dis-covery. We help our students grow. We never miss an opportunity to mentor and always take the extra step to guide and encourage. We expect success and for everyone to take pride in NMSU and what each individual does. At NMSU, we transform lives through discovery.

As Gordon has told me: “Th ey say your birthplace is not so much where you were fi rst born, but rather that special place where you fi rst discover the person you were truly meant to be. I was born twice in life. First in Tennes-see, then at NMSU.”

Gordon graduated from NMSU in 1978 and went on to earn an MBA from a prestigious school in California. He had tremendous suc-cess in the business world and established the Robin T. Peterson Endowed Chair in Market-ing at NMSU, named in honor of his mentor.

It is my sincere hope that each and every student who arrives at NMSU this fall has an experience similar to what Gordon was able to have. Perhaps not everyone will arrive in a VW bus, or be surprised by the occasional cowboy hat, boots and large buckle, but I am certain each of them will have an opportunity to fi nd themselves – to discover who they are and what they plan to do with their lives.

DC-XContinued from page A1

Th e DC-X, short for Delta Clipper Experimental, was an unmanned prototype of a reusable, single-stage-to-orbit rocket created by McDonnell Douglas for the “Star Wars” defense program. Because the $60 million program used “off the shelf ” materials and technology, the DC-X is widely seen as the precursor to the new commercial space entrepreneurism being championed by companies such as Virgin Galactic and SpaceX, as well as Armadillo Aerospace and Blue Origin.

Early in its development, Bill Gaubatz of McDonnell Douglas also advocated for its potential in opening commercial space uses by driving down the cost of rocket launches. Even aft er the program was turned over to NASA and then discarded for the VentureStar, Gaubatz became a key fi gure in advocating for space commercial ventures, including being a founder of the XPRIZE eff ort that yielded the two-step system being developed by Virgin Galactic to take tourists into space.

Along with Gaubatz at the reunion was Jess Sponable of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), who was the Air Force program manager for the Delta Clipper when it was originated in the Defense Department. Many of the other team members also were at the three-day reunion fi lled with tours and panel discussions, with participants such as Joaquin Castro of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (now Aerojet Rocketdyne) that provided the RL10-A rocket engines for the DC-X, which were well-established engines that had to be modifi ed to provide variable thrusts for the rocket’s maneuvers.

“We thought we were going to change the world,” Castro said.

In ways they didn’t expect – and over the next two decades – they did lay the ground work for the expansion now being seen in access to space, said Loretta “Aleta” Jackson, XCOR Aerospace co-founder, who also worked on the DC-X.

“What you guys did was break the ceiling,” she said.Not everyone could make the reunion. A larger-than-life

member of the DC-X team, astronaut Pete Conrad, died in a motorcycle accident in 1999. His widow, Nancy, spoke to the group by a video teleconference, recalling the good times they had in southern New Mexico – from drinking shots at Tortilla Flats to eating rellenos at Chope’s in La Mesa.

As she sees the many new systems of rockets now being developed by the private sector, Nancy Conrad said she can’t help but see connections to the DC-X. Her late husband also was a strong advocate for a spaceport in southern New Mexico.

Th e next two days of the reunion – organized by the New Mexico Museum of Space History – were held at the New Mexico State University branch campus in Alamogordo, where

the focus shift ed to tapping the expertise of those at the reunion to advocate for government to revisit advanced space plane developments.

Th e X series program started in the late 1940s has similarities to the Virgin Galactic system in that it was launched by being dropped in fl ight from a carrier craft . One fl ight recounted in the book and fi lm “Th e Right Stuff ” asserts that pilot Chuck Yeager was the fi rst man to reach space, but without the notoriety given to the NASA rocket astronauts.

Sponable said he would like to be involved in one more great technology development before retiring. With the private sector trying to create a fi xed wing rocket plane craft for space, he said the government should also be following up on the work done on aircraft such as the X-15.

“If we want to establish an X plane program, I can’t sell anything to DARPA without a clear use,” he said.

Dennie Poulos, who chaired the work sessions on the X plane proposals, said both the government and private sector are looking for a new kind of X plane, but have yet to fi nd the right X plane.

For three days, members of the DC-X team were reunited to mark the 20th anniversary of the rocket’s fi rst test fl ight at White Sands Missile Range.

marriage licenses, and I see no reason to make committed couples in Doña Ana County wait another minute to marry.”

Th rough primarily social media, the word got out quickly Wednesday to gay couples in the community to go to the County Clerk’s Offi ce to get licenses issued before the state somehow stopped Ellins.

Th e expectation that Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration would try to shut it down proved unfounded, although the Republican governor from Doña Ana County said gay marriage is a question that should be decided by voters, not by county clerks.

“You know, right now, I’ve always been really clear about where I stand in reference to marriage and that it is between a man and a woman,” Martinez told KOB Eyewitness News 4 in Albuquerque. “If that should change, that should be a change that is made by the people.”

King said Wednesday he would not participate in seeking a legal injunction against Ellins or Doña Ana County.

One of the fi rst was Carrie Hamblen, executive director of the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce and longtime local gay advocate, and her partner of seven years, Char Ullman, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Texas in El Paso.

When their license was issued, Ullman noticed much of the certifi cate was printed in hot pink. “Are these licenses just for the queer marriages?” she asked county document specialist Alexandra Chavarria, who responded

with a laugh that the color was the same for all marriage licenses.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Hamblen said. “Th is is long overdue. I am so grateful for Doña Ana County in taking the lead to securing the rights of all the people in the state of New Mexico.”

For Ullman, she said didn’t think about marriage for much of her life since it was an impossibility for her to marry who she desired.

By the end of Wednesday, Ellins said, “I’ve only received one email that was negative, and all it had to say was, ‘I’m disappointed.’”

Also disappointed was the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops that issued this offi cial statement:

“Th is is a signifi cant matter that aff ects society at large and as such is one that is best decided through the legislative branch of government, and, in absence of its action, by the judicial branch. Th ere are cases currently in process to be heard and decided by the New Mexico State Supreme Court. Th e legislative process (and the judicial, to a lesser degree) at the state government not only allows appropriate public debate on the issue but provides defi nitive legal direction for the state.

“We, the Catholic bishops of New Mexico, reiterate our previous statement on same-sex marriage: ‘(the) tradition of marriage between one man and one woman comes to us not only from the Judeo-Christian tradition, but it has been witnessed in cultures throughout the world for many millennia.’ We believe this institution of marriage to be ‘unique and irreplaceable,’ for ‘only does the sexual union of a man and woman bring forth children.’”

was acting in a quasi-judicial role in hearing the appeal to the Planning and Zoning Commission’s conditional approval of the rezoning, councillors were cautioned about keeping the discussion to the merits of the zoning approval.

Councillor Olga Pedroza, however, said there have been questions over the legality of the proposed hospital. Pofahl responded by saying the Park Ridge proposal is a very expensive venture with multiple investors, all of whom would not be putting money in it if it was not legal.

George Lohman, from Colorado Springs, who is part of the fi nance group lining up investors, said the project is attracting interest because Pofahl and his wife, Karen, are highly credible people. Th ere are seven equity funds lined up to help fi nance the project and all have done their own due diligence review to see if the project was worthy of investment.

Th e portion of the country club that would house the hospital encompasses 23.44 acres rezoned to a high-commercial use, with 7.31 acres next to it rezoned to a commercial-residential use for assisted-living housing. Currently, the country club is zoned for single-residential use, limiting even the housing potential to one home for the entire 110 acres.

Susana Montana of the community development department said the developers agreed to create a 40-foot green space buff er and additional building setbacks to provide the existing townhouses nearby a total 80-foot setback. Conditions set for the rezoning include conducting a traffi c impact analysis and providing a second access road. If work isn’t begun on the 30 acres within two years, the rezoning expires.

Councillors were told to evaluate the rezoning on questions of whether the Park Ridge development would promote the health, safety and general welfare, mitigate congestion and be a major positive change to the neighborhood.

Pofahl said he and the partners in the eff ort want to make the property vibrant again and see the neighborhood reinvigorated. Park Ridge would be a community within the city, he said, off ering a continuum of care “designed to serve a booming boomer market coming to our community.”

Aft er holding more than 10 community meetings, Pofahl said he believes that 90 to 95 percent of the surrounding residents favor the proposal, with 833 signed petitions supporting the project. He said he and his team have made constant revisions in response to various concerns raised.

Robert Caldwell, president of the Las Cruces Country Club Association that still owns the property, said the group has had to sell its water rights to pay off debts and must now sell the property in order to survive and exist as part of the Sonoma Ranch Golf Course operation. Th e decision was not easy, he said, because the country club has played a strong role in the lives of residents since 1928.

“We’re never going to see that picture again,” Caldwell said in reference to a 1970s postcard of a green country club that was still on the outer edge of a much smaller city. “Folks, we got to move on.”

One of the main positions from opposition to Park Ridge is skepticism over the community needing a third hospital.

Denten Park, CEO of MountainView Regional Medical Center, said his hospital and Memorial Medical Center (MMC) provide about 400 beds to the community with about half of those beds always unfi lled because of the changes in health care that have made hospital stays shorter – or even discouraged hospital stays.

While MountainView is not opposed to growth or the idea of competition, he questioned the need for another hospital.

Dr. Edward Sweetser, a surgeon in Las Cruces, agreed, saying another hospital could even hurt the future viability of the city’s older hospital, MMC.

Eva Booker, speaking for the Country Club Neighborhood Association (CCNA), formed in 2006 when the country club was put up for sale, disputed the charge that her group only wants the city to acquire the country club to expand the neighboring Apodaca Park. She said the development should be a PUD under the city code ordinance. Without the restrictions of a PUD, the developers can build other things with the denser commercial zoning.

Booker said the association’s concerns have been ignored as the developers had more resources to win rezoning by turning it into a popularity contest. She urged the council to not “be hoodwinked or bamboozled.”

Sharon White, a home and business owner in the area, said the city has been able to successfully absorb the addition of new hospitals since the fi rst one was built in 1950.

Rick Jensen, townhouse owner and medical business owner, said he believed in Park Ridge’s innovative approach to health care for baby boomers. He said constructing the medical

campus alone will create more than 500 jobs and that it would add to a greater variety of living options that would eventually attract more people to the city.

Tamie Smith, a Las Cruces resident, said she was concerned about the new hospital’s proposed heliport, considering there is a school and an apartment complex in the area, as well as high traffi c on North Main Street and Solano Drive.

Hector Maestas, who owns a townhouse next to the country club, said the process has been transparent and would likely enhance property values for those who live near and surround the property.

Local architect Steve Newby said Park Ridge is the best example he’s seen of the kind of smart growth and sustainable development the City Council wants to see in the city.

Aft er reviewing the fi ne print of the zoning code, Pedroza said she agreed a PUD wasn’t required for the zone change at this point of the project.

Mayor Pro Tem Sharon Th omas said she understood that the Park Ridge developers could only bring investors in so far without more confi dence in the zoning needed to make the project a success.

Councillors Nathan Small, Gill Sorg and Greg Smith said the developers have responded to major concerns and that the new use for the now barren golf course would be a benefi t. Mayor Ken Miyagishima said Park Ridge would greatly improve the neighborhood.

Councillor Miguel Silva was the lone vote against Park Ridge because of the concerns about traffi c and the possible adverse eff ect on the other two hospitals. Nor was he convinced that the property could never be used as a country club again, or as a park. “I’m not comfortable in changing something that still could be something,” he said.

Folks, we got

to move on.

Th e man suspected of stabbing a Las Cruces Police K-9 early Monday, Aug. 19, was released later that day from University Medical Center and immediately arrested by El Paso Police.

Alan A. Golden, 23, of the 5500 block of Big Sky Drive, is charged with one count of injury to a police dog. Th e charge is a fourth-degree felony.

Dave, the 6-year-old Dutch shepherd, was stabbed once on his left shoulder and rushed to the Las Cruces Animal Emergency Clinic where he received fi ve staples to close the deep wound. Dave continues recovering from his injuries at the home of his handler, a six-year offi cer with LCPD. Dave has been with the Las Cruces Police De-partment for four years and with his current handler for more than two years.

Shortly before 1 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19, Las Cruces Police responded to a neighborhood near Lynn Middle School where a man was reportedly lying on the ground. Offi cers located the man, later identifi ed as Golden, near the corner of Walnut Street and Dr. King Way.

As offi cers tried to make contact with Golden, they no-ticed he was carrying a large knife and refused repeated demands to drop it.

Golden sat down on a curb but held the knife to his own throat and tried to entice offi cers into shooting him. Offi cers deployed less-lethal beanbag rounds in an at-tempt to force Golden to drop the knife. At around the same time, K-9 Dave was deployed and engaged Golden.

During the struggle, Golden maintained possession of the knife and stabbed at Dave multiple times causing the one deep wound. Dave maintained his hold on Golden until an LCPD offi cer utilized a Taser to gain control of the subject.

Golden was transported to University Medical Center of El Paso for injuries he received from the dog and a war-rant was issued for his arrest.

K-9 recoveringSuspect released from hospital


During practice in the Pan American Center Tuesday, Aug. 20, New Mexico State University volleyball coach Mike Jordan was persistent and focused on getting his team back into winning form.

If the players aren’t hustling on the court, he sends them running up the bleachers. Unimpressed by the lack of aggressiveness in going aft er the ball, he calls them to gather around him.

“Everybody’s got to be willing to sacrifi ce themselves,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to hit the ground.”

It’s not so much about the team getting ready to play its fi rst “warm-up” game this sea-son at 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, in the NMSU Activity Center, because that game is against NMSU volleyball team alumni and primarily for the ardent volleyball fans.

It’s just that expectations are high for this year’s team, even before the season be-gins. Earlier that day, the Western Athletic Conference offi ce announced the league coach-es selected NMSU to win the WAC regular-sea-son crown in 2013. Th e Aggies received seven of the nine fi rst-place votes from the conference coaches, while two NMSU players were selected

to the 2013 Preseason All-WAC Team.Th e Aggies earned 62 points, followed

by Idaho, which tallied 58. Utah Valley was picked third and Seattle University was fourth.

Th at shouldn’t come as a big surprise. Last year, NMSU volleyball took the WAC champi-onship following a 23-10 season.

All but one of last year’s starters have re-turned with seven new players, so this year’s team has the depth of experience that would make any coach confi dent.

But Jordan isn’t taking anything for granted.“Th e preseason stuff doesn’t mean that

much and we saw that last year, but I do think we are defi nitely a much better team than we were a year ago,” he said about the WAC an-nouncement. “We have all but one starter returning, so from that standpoint, I feel re-ally good about our chances. I love the athletic ability of this team, and it’s one of the most ath-letic teams we have ever had.”

Senior middle hitter Desiree Scott and senior outside hitter Lauren Loerch were se-lected to the WAC Preseason team as selected by the league’s coaches. Scott, a 2012 all-WAC selection and a 2012 WAC all-tournament se-lection, played in all 124 sets during the 2012 season. She fi nished the season as the Aggies’ top blocker with 152 total blocks, including 27 solo blocks and 125 assisted blocks, all of

which were tops on the NMSU team.Loerch, a 2012 second team all-WAC

honoree, quickly became an integral part of NMSU’s WAC championship team during her fi rst season with the Aggies. She was one of only four Aggies who participated in every set (124) during the 2012 season. Loerch’s 316 total kills and 2.55 kills/set average were both good for second best on the NMSU team.

“Desiree and Lauren are not the only two standouts on the team,” Jordan said. “We have a lot of depth, so I think it is going to be an exciting year.”

Th e fi rst regular-season match is Friday, Aug. 30, against former WAC foe Nevada in Berkeley, Calif. By Saturday, Sept. 7, NMSU already will have played four NCAA Tournament teams from 2012, including Hawai’i and UCLA.

Th e 2013 WAC Volleyball Tournament, hosted by Grand Canyon, will be held Nov. 25-27, at GCU Arena in Phoenix., and will include the top six eligible teams in the regular-season standings.

Th ree of this year’s Aggies are New Mexicans, including sophomore outside hitter Nathalie Castellanos, who led Gadsden High School to state titles in 2010 and 2011, Sandia High School graduate Delania Tafoya and Amy Horner of Artesia.

Keeping up

Hall will be back in action

2013 NM STATE FOOTBALLSeason Tickets 646-1420

Football season is set to kick off in Las Cruces, with teams across the valley working hard and prac-ticing even harder, and thanks to the recent installation of artifi cial turf at the Field of Dreams, this season could, indeed, be a whole new ball game.

Th e Las Cruces Bulldawgs, coming off a 2012 5-A state championship win and a 13-1-0 season, will play their fi rst game of 2013 at 8 p.m. Th ursday, Aug. 29, at Chapin High School in El Paso.

“Like every year, our goal is to keep working hard,” said head coach Jim Miller. “Since we’re defending state champs, we have a lot of teams looking at us, but we’re looking to defend and keep our title, and along with that comes a lot of hard work. We’ve got to get better each and every practice, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Defending state champs or not, Miller said the Bulldawgs have had to contend with losing many of last year’s senior-heavy roster, but the returning players have really stepped up into strong

leadership roles. “Th ese guys aren’t complacent,

they aren’t resting on last year’s glory,” he said. “Th ey want to step up and make their own legacy.”

Citing the initiative taken by seniors Sam Denmark, J.R. Hernandez, J.J. Granados, Jesse Olsen, Austin Salas and Isaiah McIntyre, among others, Miller said, “Overall, the attitude is great, the leadership is great, the morale is great and the dedication is great.”

“For now, we’re happy – though we haven’t played a game yet,” he said, laughing.

As for the new turf at the Field of Dreams, Miller said he person-ally prefers grass, but that the turf “will look nicer, the upkeep will be there and it will be nicer to play on in rain or even snow.”

Th e Mayfi eld Trojans, who played a 7-5 season, disappointing to the 2010 state champions, take the fi eld for their fi rst game at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, at Mayfi eld against El Dorado.

According to head coach Mi-chael Bradley, “last season wasn’t up to our own standards and ex-pectations.” Bradley cited the Tro-jans’ 12 state championship wins in the past 18 years.

Are you ready for some football?High school teams prepare for new season, new turf

See High school on page A16

James Hall had plenty of incentive to be ready for this football season.

Th e Tiffi n University (Ohio) running back is coming off an injury year and is in his fi nal season.

“Coach defi nitely has some high expectations,” said the senior out of Las Cruces High School. “My main goal is to have a good senior season.”

He will receive ample opportunity to apply his experience and talent.

“It’s nice to have his leadership,” head coach Gary Goff said. “We look for him to be our everyday back.”

Th e 5-9, 185-pound Hall rushed 40 times, second on the team, for 107 yards in nine games for the 2-8 Dragons last year. He had 15 receptions for 73 yards.

He was limited by a knee injury, which he said he suff ered during the fourth game.

“I was making a cut, and I felt it,” he said.

Goff said he played one and a half games not knowing he had suff ered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, his second to the same leg. Hall continued to play before undergoing surgery in November.

Hall said he was on crutches two weeks aft er surgery and wore a brace for more than a month. He started lift ing weights in March and rehabbed during the summer.

He trained hard during the summer because he had to regain his fi tness.

“I did a lot more running,” he said. “I needed to lose weight. I did a lot of con-ditioning, lift ing. I was not held back.”

Tiffi n’s off ense is primarily pass-oriented, he said, with quick, short tosses and the occasional attempts at the long ball. Th e team operates the spread with-out a huddle.

“I defi nitely like it,” Hall said. “It’s very quick paced, and lots of teams defi -nitely have to prepare a lot better.”

Hall was more active in the off ense during the 2011 season, when he wasn’t hurt. He had a team-high 89 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. He caught 37 passes for 237 yards and returned fi ve kickoff s for 76 yards.

Although he doesn’t know whether he’ll play special teams again, he is ca-pable of excelling at multiple duties.

“He’s a real strong guy,” Goff said. “He’s also really smart. He can read the defenses. In many ways, he’s an extra coach.”

For Bradley and the Trojans, the biggest challenge so far is seeing where the pieces all fit.

“We have some great athletes, we just need to figure out how to put it all together,” he said.

“Every year, I have no idea what we’re going to be capable of before we play. We’re going to find out what we can do after we hit somebody this Friday night, but I think we have a really good team this year.”

The Trojans are contending with a roster heavy on new start-ers, many of them “younger guys who played some last year, so they have experience, but only made 10 or 12 plays in a game,” Bradley said.

Bradley said he places senior leadership at paramount im-portance to a successful season, and said the Trojans have several returners who have taken that place, including David

Stookey, Isaiah Lerman, Joah Franzoy, Philip Ehly and Joseph Arguello, among others.

According to Bradley, the turf will take some getting used to. “You can get turf burns, it’s 10 degrees hotter, you’ve got to

stay hydrated more and be in better shape, so you have to think about those kind of things,” he said.

The Oñate Knights have the honor of being the first home team to take to the newly installed turf at the Field of Dreams when they square off against Bel Air at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29. The Knights are entering their third season under head coach Caleb Hull, following a 2012 season of 3 wins and 7 losses.

“We are definitely looking at being an improved team this year,” Hull said. “We’re junior heavy this year, but our offense is shaping up to be explosive, with a lot of experience and intel-ligence there.”

Hull praised the efforts of a number of Knights, including seniors Travis Johnson, Josh Villalobos and Javier Corral.

It’s not just the Knights’ offensive game Hull has been work-ing on, though.

“We’ve overhauled our defense to an even-front defense, one predicated on pursuit and physicality. Every play, we’re going to have 11 guys to the ball, who all understand that to make these plays they need to be a unit. We’re going to show up with a much improved team, a complete team, to get ourselves up to our own expectations and make the playoffs.”

Hull said the turf is just “the next evolution of the game.”“It doesn’t play that much of a part in our game planning,

since we’ve played on turf before and are used to it, but we’re definitely excited to be the first ones to play on it,” he said.

The new kids on the block, the Centennial Hawks, under head coach Aaron Ocampo, will play their first game at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, at Ruidoso High School. The Hawks went 5-5 their inaugural year.

According to Ocampo, the Hawks have a strong, good-sized offensive line made up several experienced players from last year. He said a few of the Hawks poised to be major players this year are senior running back Daniel Conklin, as well as quarterback Christian Sedano, Adrian Garcia, Jerry Gurrola and Joaquin Melendez, among others

Ocampo also praised his team’s determination in the face of adversity.

“All five wins we took home (last year), we came back from behind,” he said. “These guys have a real strong, persevering spirit.”

For Ocampo, the new Field of Dreams turf will be “really good for the district, and it’s going to save a lot of money on watering and upkeep.”

“As a player, you prefer grass, but it’s really good turf,” he said. “Compared to what I used to play on, it’s just like grass.”

Give a little, give a lot Support helps maintain competitiveness

NM State athletics has been generously blessed with signi� cant donations from two di� erent families this month. Sal and Christine Wright gi� ed the Aggie football team, and Mike and Judy Johnson donated for baseball.

� e Wrights’ endowment will go to the team’s general fund, while the Johnsons’ gi� will go to infrastructure improvements. Among other things, baseball fans will have chair back seats to rest upon, and a gigantic sun shade behind them to fade the heat from the desert sun. Other improvements will be made to the playing � eld, the dugouts and the general appearance of Presley Askew Field.

I have not mentioned the amounts that were given for a reason. � is is what I will call an ex-ample of “Aggie Up.” Fans stepping forward and making the commit-ment, regardless of the amount, is worthy of applause. � e Wrights and the Johnsons “get it.”

You can’t move forward in college ath-letics without resources. Good facilities and a budget comparable to your opponents’ are part of the blueprint for consistent winners. � ese Aggie fans were not of a mindset to let someone else do it, and that is a lesson for all of us.

I am a member of the Goal Line club, and I buy season tickets for all sports. I feel I have to practice what I preach, and hope that will resonate with those who are waiting to get involved. I give the tickets to a good friend who never lets them go unused.

My credit card is tapped for a nomi-nal amount each month that goes to the football budget. My involvement won’t pay for a new facility, but that is my point. Not everyone has to be a six-� gure donor to make an impact.

Whether it’s one guy giving a million or a million guys giving a dollar, the green-backs add up with everyone on board. � e act of getting involved has a psychological

e� ect as well. When it’s time to celebrate a vic-

tory, the taste is much sweeter when you know you were a contributing

partner. It gives you a stake in all that happens, and it opens up a closer involvement with coaches

and players. � e Wrights and

Johnsons were humble when their donations were

announced. In each case, the families said they are proud of their school and just

happy to be able to give back. � e places we want our teams to go can be reached with all of us pitching in.

Don’t forget, the Aggie soccer team hosts the Mavericks from Nebraska-Omaha at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, and the New Mexico Lobos at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25. Saturday’s Alumni volleyball match will be at 5 p.m. in the activities center since the Pan American Center was booked.

With the City Championship and the Burger Time golf events successfully over, late August and September are busy months for some terrifi c golf tournaments here in Las Cruces.

6th Man OpenEven though football season isn’t even offi -

cially underway, New Mexico State University coach Marvin Menzies wants us to think bas-ketball. He’s hosting his fi ft h annual 6th Man Club Open golf tournament at Picacho Hills Country Club Th ursday, Aug. 29, beginning at noon with a shotgun start.

Th e format is a four-member team scram-ble, with merchandise prizes going to the fi rst fi ve teams. A team will be made up of a player from each of four diff erent ability categories (A, B, C and D), based on handicap as follows: A. players 0-4 handicap, B. players 5-9, C. players 10-14 and D. players 15 plus.

Th e real kicker is that teams will be drawn at random, which certainly introduces an ele-ment of chance to the mix. Th e random draw social will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, in the Picacho Hills clubhouse.

This is a must-attend event, as champion professional boxer Austin Trout will be the celebrity guest and will autograph a pair of official boxing gloves to be auctioned that

evening, complete with photo ops. Ashley Furniture HomeStore is donating a big recliner to be given away to a lucky golfer in a drawing.

Your $150 entry fee (partly tax deduct-ible) includes golf and cart and post-round complimentary food. A total of $7,200 will be paid out in prizes with fi ve teams in the money. Sponsorships are still available and are fully tax deductible. Th ere are Aggie “hole host” sponsorships and “prize” contributors available as well.

Th e Aggie men’s basketball team will be out meeting the golfers as well as the Sundancers, the Aggie cheerleader squad and Pistol Pete. Tournament organizer Jack Hokkanen has also arranged a putting contest (separate entry) with a chance to win $10,000.

“We want a premier, competitive amateur golf outing,” Menzies said, “to raise funds for NMSU Aggie men’s basketball.”

Proceeds will be used to support schol-arships, educational and special academic needs. Pick up an entry form at Picacho Hills Country Club and other local golf courses. A number of pros-in-training from the PGM program will be playing in this event, so if you want to “watch and learn,” this is your chance.

Th e fi eld is limited to 32 teams – 128 golfers. For more information, call Jack at 312-6129 or Becky Veitch at 646-1447.

Showdown at SonomaSonoma Ranch Golf Course is present-

ing the 10th annual Showdown at Sonoma two-man tournament Oct. 4, 5 and 6.

If you like “four-ball” type play, and can tolerate your playing partner for three solid days of golf, this event is defi nitely for you. Flight payouts are 50 percent of each fl ight. Th e showdown is a partner format with sev-eral handicapped fl ights, where the better of the two balls per hole counts.

I haven’t missed a single showdown because the golf is intense and the partying is even better. I love the Friday shootout since it reminds me of the made-for-TV “Shark Shootout” happenings where the winner is the last pair standing.

Th e showdown is a great value: For $250 per player you get three rounds of cart golf, range balls, entry into Friday’s shootout, $1,000 skins game entry, Saturday and Sunday luncheons, great 10th anniversary prizes and a Titleist Vokey SM4 wedge as the prime tee prize. You can’t beat that!

Sign up at Sonoma Ranch Golf Course before the Oct. 1 entry deadline.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that my playing partner, “Boston Mike” Bulman, and I are going for a three-peat as fi rst fl ight champions. My golfi ng rivals are tired of hearing it, but sometimes folks can’t embrace winners.

Wounded Soldier TournamentI have just received information on a new

tournament for this year – hopefully every year – the Wounded Soldier Golf Tournament Friday, Sept. 27, presented by De La Vega’s Pecan Grill & Brewery.

I’m really excited about this event because it is benefi tting the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), which is one of the most worthwhile fundraising and support groups in our nation. Th e mission of WWP, a national nonprofi t or-ganization headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., is to honor and empower wounded warriors by raising awareness and enlisting the public’s support for the needs of injured and disabled service men and women.

It is intended that specialized programs will provide direct ventures and services to meet the needs of those who sacrifi ced in the military to enable all of us to live free and secure in our homeland.

More than 47,000 service men and women have been injured or disabled in the foreign military confl icts in recent years. In addition to visible and bodily wounds, an estimated 400,000 service members are now living with invisible wounds of war including combat-re-lated stress, major depression and post-trau-matic-stress disorder (PTSD).

In past wars, PTSD passed under the rubric of “combat fatigue” or “shell shock,” but today, the understanding of the devas-tating consequences of untreated PTSD are far more understood. Today, WWP has no fewer than 18 programs and services uniquely structured to nurture the mind and body as well as encourage economic empowerment and engagement. If you would like to learn more about WWP or get involved, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

I personally have a very special place in my heart for veterans of every war. I’m a

sort of World War II buff – that is, if one considers a “buff ” to be someone who has read dozens of books and interviewed more than 100 who served in WWII. Yours truly is a Vietnam veteran (Navy 1967-70) and fortunately not disabled. I have a deep appreciation of older veterans and make my best eff orts to provide my medical expertise and to honor them with my work as a psychologist.

Th e golf tournament will start off with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Th urs-day, Sept. 26, at De LaVega’s Pecan Grill & Brewery, 500 S. Telshor Blvd., hosted by De La Vega’s and the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce.

Golf starts with a shotgun at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27, with a four-person team scramble. Th e entry fee for a four-player team is $500 each ($125 per individual player). Breakfast and lunch is provided for all participants, sponsors and special guests.

The festivities don’t end when the adults are done playing golf. On Saturday, Sept. 28, there is a children’s golf clinic for kids ages 6 to 15 at the New Mexico State University Golf Course driving and practice range, followed by lunch provided by Dion’s Pizza. Sponsorships are being accepted which range from $250 to $10,000. For infor-mation on sponsorships, contact Ashley Springer at 505-239-3252.

North-South Senior ChallengeNow into its seventh year, the Bank of the

West North-South Senior Challenge is one of the best-kept secrets in New Mexico golf.

This is a Ryder Cup-type competition that pits senior golfers from Albuquerque and north against senior golfers from the southern part of the state (south of Inter-state 40). These are all single-digit handicap golfers older than age 50; super seniors are age 70 and older.

Th e North-South was the brainchild of my frequent golfi ng companion Bob Logefeil who played for many years in a similar format over in Arizona. Th is year, the tournament is at Red Hawk Golf Club, which may give the south an advantage.

Last year, at Desert Greens in Albuquer-que, the north blitzed the south with such a formidable squadron of long-hitters and great putters that we thought they had brought in a bunch of ringers. We’re out for payback.

Play will begin at Red Hawk with a prac-tice round Saturday, Sept. 28, followed by cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres. Competition begins on Sunday, Sept. 29, and consists of two rounds of match play, with shotguns at 8 a.m. and again at 1 p.m.

Players enjoy a semi-formal dinner on Sunday night. Th e fi nal round is Monday morning with a lot of points on the line since that is individual match play. Th is is a golf event worth coming out to see. If you are older than 50 and have a low handicap, next year might be your year to play.

Since taking over as head coach of your New Mexico State Aggie football team in January, one of my main focuses for this team has been to get out into the community we represent.

Our football team has already given more than 600 hours of community service back to Las Cruces in the form of youth camps and clinics, Boys & Girls Club participation, local church events, local elementary and middle school events and La Casa Girls Night Out, to name a few.

Many of these student athletes are from Las Cruces, including local kids Matt Ramon-do, Xavier Hall, Brandon Betancourt, Zachery Daugherty and Zachery Baker. Currently, our 2013 roster has 15 players from the state of New Mexico, and by the end of fall camp, that number will be close to double. Getting local players from Las Cruces and the state is important to me and to this program.

We want to keep these quality athletes in state to help us build a successful program and to give back to the community that sup-ports us, both on the fi eld and off .

Th is fall, we invite you to become part of our community in the stands at Aggie Memo-rial Stadium. Come support the local kids you watched during their high school career, while also supporting the players from across the country. Maybe you’ve even met some of these fi ne student athletes off the fi eld; now’s your chance to see what they can do onthe fi eld.

We have a very exciting seven-game home schedule in 2013, highlighted by two BCS teams coming to Las Cruces − Minnesota from the Big Ten and Boston College from the ACC.

Amazingly, this is the fi rst time either a Big Ten team or an ACC team has come to Las Cruces. It’s also the fi rst time two BCS teams have come to Las Cruces in the same season. Add these games against teams from two of the nation’s top conferences to contests against San Diego State, Abilene Christian, Idaho, Rice and I-10 rival University of Texas at El Paso, and you get the best home schedule in program history. I am extremely excited about this home schedule, and I’m confi dent that we can compete with every team on our home slate.

Season tickets are on sale now and, start-ing at $49 a season ticket, you can experi-

ence all seven games. Th at’s only $7 a game, which is comparable to the cost of a local high school game at $5 a ticket.

Some of the same players you’ll see on our fi eld in 2013 will be playing in the NFL in 2014, where the cheapest single-game tickets cost more than twice our price for an entire season of action.

I can promise you there is nothing like the experience of college football. From the hard hits and breakaway runs on the fi eld, to the roar of the fans and even the frenzied mascot action, there’s a reason Saturdays are special in every college town across America − includ-ing Las Cruces.

Of course, it’s even more fun when your team wins, and it’s true that since 1960 New Mexico State has experienced only nine win-ning seasons. By becoming a part of the Aggie community at our games, you can help turn that record around and establish a consistent, winning program.

Th is program reminds me a lot of East Carolina, where I was a member of the coach-ing staff from 1992-2006. Th e Pirates had been to just six bowl games in their school’s history prior to 1992. Th e big turnaround for the program came from an increase in fan support and season ticket holders. Since 1992, East Carolina has participated in 11 bowl games.

Davon House, former NM State football player and currently a cornerback for the Green Bay Packers, agrees that fan support makes all the diff erence to players on and off the fi eld.

“When I played at New Mexico State, having a big crowd in the stands was huge,” House said. “I fed off the crowd, and the louder the better. I think you see the impact it can make for a team not only in college, but even at the professional level. Th e players can feel the crowd’s excitement and energy. Th at’s something I think Aggie fans can do for this team to help turn this program in the right direction.”

As your new head coach, I promise that we will play hard on every play. Our off ense will play fast, our defense will create turnovers and our special teams will keep our opponents on their toes. I have been blessed with a great coaching staff and an administration that has provided the resources we need to win.

Th e pathway to a bowl game has already begun, and I hope that you will join us and invite your family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances to be part of the Aggie football family, just as Aggie football is a part of the Las Cruces community. Aggie Up.

Aggie football is part of the Las Cruces communityA roaring crowd can make the diff erence Th e New Mexico State soccer team is

gearing up for the 2013 season, and the White team beat the Crimson crew, 5-3, at the annual scrimmage Saturday, Aug. 17.

Freshman forward Devin Hart and ju-nior forward Layla Todd paced the White team with two goals each.

Th e White team attacked quickly with Hart scoring the fi rst goal of the match less than 30 seconds into action for a 1-0 lead.

Senior midfi elder Daisy Hernandez gave the White team a 2-0 advantage, when she scored from 30 yards away.

“We scored eight goals today, and we scored eight goals all of last season,” head coach Blair Quinn said. “We had a couple goalkeeping errors that probably wouldn’t have led to goals normally, but the attack-ing mentality was good. On the fl ip side, we have a few defensive things we need to shore up, but we are a work in progress.”

Th e White team continued the off ensive charge, and Hart posted her second score

of the game on a corner kick for a 3-0 lead. Todd took advantage of a goalkeeper mis-cue for the White’s fourth score to record a 4-0 advantage.

Th e Crimson crew answered with its fi rst goal of the match when senior midfi elder/defender Olivia Sierra sailed a shot from 30 yards out to cut into White’s lead, 4-1.

Todd recorded her second score of the fi rst half in the 15th minute to give the White team a 5-1 lead. Four minutes later, sophomore midfi elder/forward Miranda Valdez sank her fi rst goal of the contest to bring Crimson within three, 5-2.

In the second half, freshman midfi elder/forward Salina Lucero scored the lone goal of the abbreviated period on a rebound to cut White’s advantage to 5-3.

Th e Aggies open the regular season in Las Cruces with a pair of home matches against Nebraska-Omaha at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, and against New Mexico at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25.

Th e New Mexico State volleyball team will host its annual First Serve Banquet at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, at the New Mex-ico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, 4100 Dripping Springs Road.

Cost is $45 per person or $400 per table sponsorship, which includes six guests and one student athlete.

New Mexico State head women’s basket-ball coach Mark Trakh announced the 2013-14 women’s basketball schedule Monday, Aug. 19, which features 14 home games, including the annual Aggie Hotel Encanto Th anksgiving Classic.

Th e season begins with an exhibition game versus Western New Mexico, Nov. 2, with the regular season starting Nov. 12 against I-10 ri-val UTEP in El Paso.

“I am excited for our schedule this year,” Trakh said. “We are playing several games in

areas that we heavily recruit in, and I think it is important for us to keep an active footprint in those areas.

“Our conference is so unknown this year with six teams being new to the league. Seattle and Idaho are both bringing back the majority of their players and they were the regular sea-son and tournament champions, so they will be competitive. We just know so little about the rest, that hopefully both our non-confer-ence and WAC schedules will bring good com-petition.”

1913• A committee was appointed including Frank Hayner, George Frenger, Fred Hess, F.E. Lester, William Sutherland, Fabian Garcia and Edmundson Link to organize an automobile trip “down the west side and up the east side of the valley.” Th e group was hoping to enlist at least 20 automobiles. “It is probably true that a large number of men who have lived in the county for years have no adequate knowledge of the county as a whole,” Th e Rio Grand Republican said. Dinner was to be partaken in La Mesa and supper at Anthony, N.M.

1938• An outbreak of sleeping sickness among horses and mules in the county was called the most serious in years. Veterinarian H.C. Shipman said he knew of 19 horses that had died in the county and said there were probably more he did not know of.

• Th e New Mexico Taxpayers Association estimated the population of Las Cruces to

be 8,407, up 45 percent since 1930. Th ere were 1,097 phones in Las Cruces in 1937, compared to 826 in 1933.

• County Commission Chairman Sam Klein reminded the local school board that the old courthouse could only be sold to the highest bidder. “We cannot hold this site for a prospective bidder,” he said.

1963• More than 12,000 students were expected

to enroll in the Las Cruces Public Schools. Classes were set to start Aug. 29.

• Th e Tortugas Red Caps, behind the one-hit pitching of Goyo Facio, defeated the Mesquite Cats 11-1. Th e win boosted the Red Caps’ record to 12-5.

1988• Paleontologist Jerry MacDonald held a press conference to announce his discovery of fossilized Paleozoic trackways at an undisclosed

location in south-central New Mexico. MacDonald said he was working on funding agreements with the Carnegie Natural History Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum, but he hoped a suitable place to display the tracks could be found in Las Cruces.

• Gary Esslinger, manager and treasurer for the Elephant Butte Irrigation District, warned, “We have been blessed for the last seven years with 3, 4, even 5 acre-foot allotments. But it can also be as low as 6 inches or 2 inches – and it’s very diffi cult to run water then.”

New Mexico State University President Garrey Carruthers announced Wednesday, Aug. 21, the reorganization of the NMSU Ath-letics Department.

Included in the reorganization is naming Las Cruces businessman David McCollum to the newly created position of deputy athletics director. In the new position, Mc-Collum will oversee all business af-fairs for the Athletics Department.

“We are going to manage the NMSU Athletics Department more like a business enterprise,” Car-ruthers said. “Th at’s why I’ve chosen to bring in a talented businessman like David McCollum, who is not only familiar with NMSU athletics, but also has a history of managing and growing companies. We are go-ing to grow NMSU athletics through increased attendance, donor participation, sponsorships and marketing.”

McCollum was previously the owner and chief executive offi cer of FIG Publications, which owned the Las Cruces Bulletin, the Rio Rancho Observer and the Kirtland Air Force Base Nucleus. Each of these newspapers was struggling fi nancially when they were acquired by FIG, but were quickly turned around.

McCollum has also worked as group pub-lisher for the Community Newspapers Hold-ing Co. in Birmingham, Ala., as president and publisher of the Las Cruces Publishing Co., and as a senior leader in several other companies in the areas of media, marketing and advertising. In each instance, McCollum demonstrated the ability to successfully promote growth and ex-pansion.

“I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to join the NMSU team,” McCollum said. “Ath-letics is crucial to the university. It’s one of the primary opportunities we have to get our name out across the country. Th e coaches we have at

NMSU are some of the best in the country.”McCollum will oversee the department’s

marketing, fi nancial and Title IX opera-tions. He will also coordinate supervision of sports information. NMSU Athletics Director McKinley Boston will continue to oversee each of the NMSU team coaches. McCollum cred-

ited Boston for the increased focus on academics within NMSU athlet-ics during his time at the university.

Additionally, Carruthers an-nounced the organizational realign-ment of several other university po-sitions. Th e presidents of NMSU’s community colleges, which include NMSU Alamogordo, NMSU Carls-bad, NMSU Grants and NMSU’s Doña Ana Community College, will now report to NMSU Executive Vice

President and Provost Dan Howard. Th ose positions previously reported directly to the NMSU president.

Similarly, the university’s vice president for research and vice president for economic development will also report to the executive vice president and provost. NMSU’s Human Resources Services and NMSU’s Offi ce of In-stitutional Equity will report to Associate Vice President and Deputy Provost Greg Fant. Previ-ously, Human Resource Services reported to the Senior Vice President for Administration and Finance.

“In each of my past activities in both busi-ness and in government, I’ve become accus-tomed to a stand-alone human resources op-eration,” Carruthers said. “Shift ing this unit to the associate vice president and deputy pro-vost’s offi ce will do that.”

Th e majority of these changes came as rec-ommendations from the transition teams Car-ruthers set up shortly aft er becoming president in an eff ort to fi nd improvements to various university organizations.

Deportation averted

Las Cruces Bulletin photo by Todd DicksonMembers of Comunidades en Accion y de Fe (CAFé) hold a prayer vigil outside the Las Cruces Home Builders Association offi ces Saturday, Aug. 17, after meeting with staff of U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce to help stop the deportation of a local woman with two young U.S.-born children. On Monday, Aug. 19, an El Paso immigration judge ruled in favor of keeping the woman’s family together by ordering prosecutorial discretion and administratively closing her case. The woman, her attorney, members of Our Lady of Guadalupe and CAFé community organizers celebrated with hugs and prayer after hearing the good news. In addition to seeking Pearce’s support, CAFé used social media to generate public interest with 3,500 people signing an online petition, as well as a letter of support signed by 15 clergy.

Want to buy a backhoe or hire new employ-ees and invest in pricey software they’ll need to do their jobs?

The decision about whether to buy this year or defer investing until 2014 may sound like a simple one based on working the numbers.

But deciding which numbers to work can be a challenge, especially this year – and espe-cially for small businesses.

Tax code changes such as the 179 deduction for investing in real property, equipment and technology, were enacted earlier in the decade. They are going away now. Maybe.

U.S. Senators Tom Udall D-N.M., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., have introduced bipartisan leg-islation to preserve a tax deduction that has made buying real property, equipment and technology a sweet deal.

The senators’ Small Business Investment Promotion Act aims to keep in place the section 179 deduction that encourages such investment by allowing businesses to deduct up to $250,000 of major purchases, indexed for inflation.

If the measure is not adopted, the deduction would drop 95 percent, to $25,000 in 2014.

Planning for uncertaintyTaking a pragmatic approach, Beasley,

Mitchell & Co. managing partner Brad Beasley said, “We’re always going under the worst case scenario.”

But for accountants and their clients, the uncertainty can be maddening.

“A lot of our clients are following it, and a lot are paying us to follow it for them,” Beasley said.

Tax planning helps minimize the chances of making bad decisions, Beasley said.

“If you’re looking at buying a backhoe,

New Mexico State University economics professor Jim Peach has circled Tuesday, Sept. 17 on his calendar.

If nobody over reacts when the Federal Reserve on September 17 takes the expected first step to slow its bond-buying pace, there’s a good chance the economy will continue to grow, albeit slowly, Peach forecast Tuesday, Aug. 20.

He was one of three local experts par-ticipating in the KRWG-Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce Economic Update Forum taped at the KRWG TV studio.

Peach shared the stage with fellow NMSU professors Chris Erickson, who gave a less op-timistic outlook for the state and local econo-my, and Ken Martin, who forecast continued strength in U.S. financial markets.

“I think, when the revised gross domestic product figures come out, they will be at 1.9 percent or 2 percent, and will be something above 2 percent for the rest of the year,” Peach said.

The employment picture, too, shows “slow but steady” improvement. The U.S. economy has been adding about 190,000 new jobs a month, Peach said.

“That’s slow,” he said, “but the good news aspect is, sometime in 2014 we should have as

Earlier this month I celebrated five years back in the Mesilla Valley after a 25-year absence.

I’ve had many occasions during those ensuing five years to make mention of how Las Cruces has changed since my bad ol’ student days at New Mexico State University. I think it’s pretty safe to say there have been some pretty dramatic changes since my return, as well.

One of the signs that Las Cruces is truly coming into its own, as the second largest metropolitan area in the state, is rapidly approaching. Of all the various fiestas and festivals our lovely little city has to offer, the one that truly puts us on par with other world-class destinations is the White Sands International Film Festival (WSIFF).

Why? I’m glad you asked. Allow me to elucidate.

To begin with, the film festival circuit is widely accepted as the breed-ing ground for future trendsetters in the world of cinema. The filmmakers who inhabit that circuit are a special breed. They’re the groundbreakers who don’t have big money executives hanging over their shoulders, telling them how to do their jobs. They’re the auteurs who have yet to be corrupted by the studio system.

As a result, they are the inventors of expression who bring life, culture and art to the hungry masses. They occupy a very important stratum in the de-velopment of our society. They are the visionaries. They are our connection to the rest of the world in a way that radio, television and even the Internet can’t possibly convey.

Which means, having a film festival that is recognized as part of that network is a calling card to the rest of the world that says, “This city is smart, savvy and in touch.” It conveys that we get it. It draws attention to our little corner of the universe in a positive way and it opens doors to new possibilities in the areas of tourism, business and those all-impor-tant buzz words, economic development. It ratchets things up a notch or two.

National economy to outperform New Mexico

Senate bills propose relief for small businesses

Vineyards and wineries, which are capital intensive, could be affected by tax code changes scheduled to take effect in 2014 if Congress doesn’t intervene.

what do you think about buying it this year or waiting until next year? Are you having a good year or a bad year? What are your goals for this year?” he asked.

Th ese are the kinds of questions he said he asks clients.

Meanwhile, he and other accountants have to juggle the changing provisions of the tax code as they off er their professional opinions.

Accountants turning grayBeasley pointed out the 179 is not the

only tax tool available to small businesses that invest in plant and equipment.

“If the 179 deduction is capped at $250,000 and you buy a million dollars worth of equipment, you still get 16 percent accelerated depreciation,” he said. “Once you get over the cap, the biggest thing you have is bonus depreciation.”

Th e American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended through 2013 a 50 percent bo-nus depreciation businesses can take the year they invest in property or equipment. Unlike the 179 deduction, businesses need not show

net income to take this deduction. But bo-nus depreciation, like the 179 deduction, is scheduled to go away.

Beasley said bonus depreciation has the virtue of helping a business even if it ends up losing income, whereas the 179 deduction applies only to the businesses’ income.

“We’ll have it for 2013, not for 2014,” Beasley said. “We’re looking at a depreciation cliff .”

He said that if you invest in equipment in December 2013, you can write off 60 to 70 percent of your purchase, but if you buy in January, you will get to write off only 15 or 16 percent.

“Tax planning is not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure,” Beasley said.

Although Udall’s staff is optimistic the Senate will approve the 179 deduction when it returns from vacation, the bill also must win favor in the House.

It is not known whether Congress will, in addition, address the scheduled demise of bonus depreciation

Businesses weigh inLike their accountants, business owners

keep an eye on the tax horizon.David Fisher of Sombra Antiqua Winery

in Chamborino, said that although the 179

deduction has not been a concern for the winery to date, it could become one in the future.

“I would support any measure that would be supportive of retaining small business capital,” he said.

Wineries are capital-intensive,” Fisher said. “We always need operating capital as well as capital for equipment.”

Michael Stubbs of Stubbs Engineering in Las Cruces said the deduction is important for his business as well.

“For us, when we create new positions, we’re looking at $10,000 to $12,000 in new soft ware,” he said.

Th e depreciation he can take has a direct impact on the number of employees he can hire, Stubbs said.

“People do make decisions based on tax considerations,” he said.

Greg Aguirre of Smith & Aguirre Construction in Las Cruces said he’s plan-ning to visit with his accountant this week.

He said although a slow economy has kept his company from making major equip-ment purchases, having depreciation options to do so would be a good thing.

“It would help if we were in the mode to buy equipment,” he said. “It’s not something I would use right away, but it would be a huge help.”

Th at’s why it is so important that our community support WSIFF. Many of our local businesses have stepped forward as sponsors, donating goods, services and money to the cause. Our local fi lm-makers are volunteering their time and energy to act as good will ambassadors to visitors from all over the world – the creative men and women who travel the circuit in search of their next big break.

All that’s missing is you, the audi-ence – arguably the most important part of the entire process. Without you, the fi lms in the festival go unwatched and the messages they bring with them go unheard.

As a judge for this year’s WSIFF, I had the privilege of working alongside some of the most creative fi lm professionals Las Cruces has to off er. Over the course of fi ve weeks, we each spent every avail-able minute watching a total of 80 fi lms. Picking winners was not easy, mainly due to the quality of the selections, but somehow we managed to come to an agreement in each category.

Having been involved in the fi lm industry myself, off and on over the past 20 years or so, I can truly say that this has been one of the highlights of my journey. It put me in touch with my in-ner movie geek.

It reminded me that sometimes putting aside personal preferences in favor of the unexpected can lead to an exhilarating ride. Of the 20 or so docu-mentaries I viewed, easily two-thirds introduced me to concepts and ideas I had either known nothing about, or had only given peripheral attention to. Th at’s some serious mind expansion.

Th e majority of the features and shorts wowed me with sweeping visuals and methodical pacing that allowed story and character to unfold with the precision of a well-articulated poem. Many of the student entries surprised me with their creative professionalism and excited me with the possibilities for the future they engender.

It is this experience that I am hoping to share with any and all who make the time to catch at least a few of the off er-ings on display during the fi rst week in September. Th e organizers of this year’s event have gone out of their way to pres-ent not only package deals for hard-core cinephiles, but also individual prices for those who can only spare a few hours to catch one or two of the fi lms.

Th e important thing to remember is that this fi lm festival is organized and presented for your edifi cation. Like all fi lm festivals worldwide, it is presented as an opportunity to introduce you to the wide, wonderful world of raw, ground-breaking cinema and, hope-fully, to reawaken dialog about the world around us, through the emotions that such fi lms inspire.

I encourage you to gather family and friends together, or go solo if that’s your preference, and take part in this year’s WSIFF. I believe you will be very surprised at the quality being off ered and richly rewarded for your eff orts. You may even meet a celebrity or two.

Las Cruces has a lot to off er, but this event may very well be among the best.

many jobs as we had in December 2007 when the recession started. Th at will be a milestone.”

Bright spots in the economy include auto sales and housing construction, he said.

“People buy automobiles when they’re con-fi dent about the future, and you have to be fairly confi dent about your own employment,” Peach said.

Total housing starts are up about 20 percent from this time in 2012, he said.

“Th e elephant in the room, if you like, is the federal budget battle,” he said.

Th e continuing resolution that funds gov-ernment agencies in lieu of a budget will expire Sept. 30, which means Congress will have only eight or nine days when they return from vaca-tion to act.

Peach predicted Congress will avert disas-ter on the budget as well as the debt ceiling, which also is coming up for a vote. He said he expects “a lot of smoke, yelling and screaming” but ultimately action on the debt ceiling.

He said he also is concerned about develop-ments in Egypt.

“It’s the Suez Canal, and a lot of oil goes through the Suez Canal,” he said.

Local economy still stuckErickson said the Las Cruces economy is

generating jobs at a rate of six-tenths of one percent a month.

“Th at’s such a low number, as an economist I’m going to call it zero,” he said.

“Sequestration is what’s making it so diffi -cult for us to gain jobs.”

Th e state and local jobs doldrums are due to New Mexico’s heavy reliance on the federal government, which funds the military bases, national research labs and research at NMSU.

He said his prediction of sequestration-related job loss in the state was at the high end among economists – 28,000. If that scenario plays out, New Mexico will have fl at growth through 2013 and 2014, Erickson said.

“We have not realized that yet, but that would be my prediction,” he said.

Erickson said he doesn’t think Doña Ana County puts enough emphasis on growing lo-cal businesses rather than attracting outsiders.

Although he didn’t have Las Cruces fi gures, he said New Mexico ranks fourth from the bottom in fourth-grade reading and eighth- grade math.

“Th at’s the thing that keeps businesses from moving into the area,” he said.

He commented that economic incentives for businesses take money away from the im-portant work of state and local government, including improving public education and building roads.

Markets ride highMartin looked to continued strength in fi -

nancial markets.He shared some gloomy headlines from

August 2012 that foretold market jitters or worse, and then produced headlines bearing the same message in August 2013.

“A short, sharp pullback followed the 2012 election,” Martin said.

But then markets continued to climb.Fast forward to August 2013, and − follow-

ing a modest slip in August − stock markets remain at near-record highs, with the Dow up 16 percent, including dividends.

Martin said he’s not overly worried by

August 2013 headlines such as “Signs of a mar-ket correction ahead.”

“I would not be surprised to see a little turbulence, but would expect to see gains in 2013,” he said.

“Economic indicators are higher than fore-cast, and the market likes higher than forecast. I don’t think we’re anywhere near a danger zone of high volatility.”

Audience weighs inDuring a question-and-answer session, the

economists debunked some of the worst-case scenarios circulating about the economy.

Peach disagreed with a claim that part-time jobs are growing faster than full-time jobs.

“Th e data don’t support that,” he said. He said the growth of full-time jobs is “just

below the rate of growth for full-time jobs.“Th e problem is, we’re not growing fast

enough at all,” he said.He said at the current rate it would be 2017

or 2018 before New Mexico has as many jobs as it did in 2007.

“Th e part-time, full-time thing would straighten itself out if we had a growing econ-omy,” he said.

Responding to a question from modera-tor Fred Martino about the possibility New Mexico’s grow receipts tax is a disincentive to businesses locating in the state, Erickson said the GRT is problematic because it’s unique to New Mexico

“It’s awfully hard to explain GRT to outsid-ers,” he said.

He also sought to allay fears about the Aff ordable Care Act.

“Every study done shows the Aff ordable Care Act will have a large positive eff ect on New Mexico, mostly through the increase in Medicaid coverage,” he said. “It is possible that for New Mexico it will be the biggest economic boost we’ll see in the next few years.”

Erickson said a study citing Las Cruces as one of the U.S. cities suff ering the greatest decrease in good jobs, refl ects a situation he doesn’t see improving drastically in the near term. He said the best hope would be for a ro-bust national recovery that would sustain con-tinued federal spending in New Mexico.

The Elephant Butte Irrigation District is riding out its third year of critical drought and the board of directors is looking ahead to see what it might have to do if the drought continues its grip on the area.

The recent monsoon rains have brought some relief, EBID hydrology consultant J. Phil King reported. The resulting runoff has increased the Elephant Butte Reservoir storage to 84,000 acre-feet. Before the rains, the reservoir storage was

60,000 acre-feet.But will that storage increase help the 2014 irrigation

season? The normal EBID release is 790,000 acre-feet. In the 2013

season it could only release 170,000 acre-feet for the shortest district irrigation on record.

“The EBID released water on June 1, the latest release ever,” King said. “And it closed the gates at Caballo Reservoir on July 17, the earliest shutdown in district history. The board is mak-ing the best of a bad situation and trying to figure out how to get through another year of drought.”

While there is no water in the EBID delivery system, main-tenance chief Leo Barrett and his crew are taking advantage of dry canals to prepare them for the return of water, if the dis-trict has enough water in the reservoirs in 2014 for a release.

“During this maintenance season, we’ve been taking care of 300 individual projects,” Barrett said.

These projects include: turnout gates where irrigation wa-ter is directed into fields; underground irrigation pipelines and headwalls for overhead crossings over the canals.

Many of these projects require concrete work, which the maintenance men handle.

The underground pipeline system extends for 21 miles and was designed by EBID engineer Zach Libbin, Barrett said.

Barrett’s field men maintain 300 miles of canals and 300 miles of drainage ditches.

“We’re also cleaning out canals with excavators,” Barrett said.

When Dalys Arroyo received her first scholarship from the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico (CFSNM) in 2010, she didn’t know that organization would con-tinue supporting her education for the next three years, but it did.

“The scholarships helped me so much, in many ways,” Arroyo said of the scholar-ships she received, including the $500 Over the Rainbow Scholarship in 2010; a $1,000 scholarship in fall 2011; a $1,000 scholarship in spring 2012, another in fall 2012 and her latest $1,000 scholarship in fall 2013.

“I was able to purchase the materials I needed right away and to pay for tuition my last semester. I really appreciate SpringBoard! for the efforts to help women like me, women who have the desire to complete their educa-tion and follow their dreams.”

Arroyo will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography in December 2013. Attending school was not easy for Arroyo, who learned English as a second language, but the help

from the CFSNM and SpringBoard! made her believe she could do it.

“I cannot lie to you, this has been the big-gest challenge of my life,” Arroyo said. “Being a full-time student with so much homework, 32 hours a week of clinics, oral presentation in class and having to write many research papers was very hard because English is my second language. Diagnostic medical so-nography is a career that is very demanding, but there is nothing more important to me, besides my family, than to accomplish this wonderful goal.”

After she graduates, Arroyo plans to find a job, but she also plans to continue her educa-tion, eventually obtaining a bachelor’s degree.

“For me, an education is very important because it will give me the opportunity to get a job, help my family in Panama and increase my knowledge,” she said. Along with her husband several educators helped her along the way, she said, including Darla Matthew, instructor and director of the program; Faith Hutson, clinical coordinator and instructor, and Belinda Martinez, instructor. “I really appreciate all the help from the Community Foundation. This group of wonderful ladies

believed in me, and they supported my educa-tion with their scholarships.”

During the fall 2013 semester, 12 women will continue their education with help from the CFSNM. Each year, SpringBoard! awards $1,000 scholarships, including the “Over the Rainbow Scholarship,” established by Nancy Baker to honor the memory of her mother, Dorothy Ellen Baker, a daughter of an Appalachian coal miner who valued higher education for women.

Seven of the scholarships are made pos-sible by the One Good Turn Fund from the New Mexico Community Foundation (NMCF). The NMCF is a statewide endow-ment-building and grant-making organiza-tion. With partners like the CFSNM, the NMCF promotes philanthropy as a tool for building community assets, relationships and self-reliance.

SpringBoard! committee members usually receive 30 applications each year and then make a recommendation to the CFSNM for scholarships and grants. The most recent SpringBoard! scholarship recipients include Elizabeth Evans, Rosa Herrera, Claudia Bautista, Jeanne Huang, Ashley Barreras,

Haydee Zaragosa, Mayanin de Santiago and Lillian Valles. In addition, Raquel de la Cruz and Maggie Gracyalny received $1,000 Over the Rainbow scholarships.

The program specifically targets young women who have a hard time getting into an educational program because they either dropped out of school and had children or had to go to work. In addition, SpringBoard! provides scholarships so women can apply for and pay for their GED examinations, often a cost hindrance that keeps them from explor-ing the option of higher education.

The Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico is dedicated to helping the Southern New Mexico community now, and in the future. Founded in 2000, the Community Foundation offers opportu-nities for local people who want to give back locally. The beauty of the foundation is that you need not be wealthy to make a positive difference in the lives of people throughout our area. Through the estab-lishment of permanent funds you can sustain local charitable organizations, provide scholarships to area students and fulfill wishes that are close to your heart. Through our planned giving programs, you can honor loved ones or leave a legacy that benefits the people of Southern New Mexico for generations to come. The Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico can advise you on how best to maxi-mize contributions, no matter what size. For more information, see our website at www.cfsnm.org or call Luan Wagner Burn at 521-4794. To donate, mail your check to CFSNM, 301 S. Church St., Suite H, Las Cruces, NM 88001.

Green Chamber impact study released

A new economic study by BBC Research & Consulting reveals that designating the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument on public lands in Doña Ana County will have a “significant positive effect” on the local economy.

The study, commissioned by the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce and released Tuesday, Aug. 20, estimates that protecting the national monument will generate $7.4 million in new economic activity annually and create 88 new jobs, doubling the number of jobs that these public lands support in outdoor recre-ation and tourism. The study also estimates an

additional $562,000 per year generated in com-bined state and local government tax revenue from designation of the national monument.

The economic impact report will be dis-cussed in detail with small business owners, the press and public at the “Land and Culture: Economic Opportunities from Conservation” forum on Friday, Aug. 23, at the Mesilla Community Center, 2251 Calle de Santiago in Mesilla. For more information about the fo-rum, visit www.nmgreenchamber.com/OMDP.

Back taxes auction planned for Sept. 9

The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department’s Property Tax Division will auc-tion land and houses at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 9, in the Commission Chambers of the Doña

Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd.

There are 135 properties planned for auc-tion. Properties from all areas of the county are scheduled for auction, including the Santa Teresa Golf Course and several adjoining lots.

Any parcel that does not receive bids will be placed on a second property auction scheduled for Oct. 17.

Taxpayers whose properties are up for auction may pay their delinquent property taxes up until the date and time of the auc-tion. The Doña Ana County Treasurer’s Office is accepting partial payments in advance, but all taxes and penalties due must be paid in full before a property can be removed from the auction list.

Property tax and payment information can be found online at www.donaanacounty.org/treasurer or by calling the Doña Ana County Treasurer’s Office at 877-827-7200 ext. 7433 or 647-7433.

Residents warned of deed-copy scam

At least a dozen Doña Ana County prop-erty owners have reported receiving letters from a company calling itself Deed Processing Center of Wilmington, Del. Each letter offers a certified copy of the property-owner’s deed as recorded in the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office for a fee of $83.

The Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office said the letter is a scam, and that any property own-er who wants a certified copy of a deed can obtain one from the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office for $2. A non-certified copy can be ob-tained for 50 cents.

“This is a rip-off,” said County Clerk Lynn Ellins. “Anyone who receives one of these let-ters should throw it away.”

State unemployment rate better than last year

New Mexico’s seasonally adjusted unem-ployment rate was 6.9 percent in July, up from 6.8 percent in June but down from 7.0 percent a year ago.

The rate of over-the-year job growth, com-paring July 2013 with July 2012, was 1.1 per-cent, representing a gain of 8,800 jobs. The jobs survey continues to indicate improved condi-tions in the job market. Nine industries added employment and four industries lost jobs over the year.

The largest gains continue to be reported by the leisure and hospitality industry, adding 4,500 jobs since last year. The large education-al and health services industry added 3,200 jobs, which is a marked improvement from growth that has previously been much lower. The construction industry continued to re-port the best over-the-year numbers since 2006, gaining 1,800 jobs. Manufacturing em-ployment declined by 1,000 jobs, while mis-cellaneous other services lost 600 jobs com-pared to the same time last year. Government employment registered a net loss of 3,700 jobs since last year, with losses reported at the federal and local levels. The sharp drop in lo-cal government employment is likely a result of changing seasonal patterns that will settle by the time school begins at the end of the summer.

The cost of going green

Growing up in the 1960s, joni newcom-er said she was oblivious to the concept of sustainability.

“We didn’t have that consciousness,” said newcomer, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited profes-sional and manager of NMSU’s environmen-tal policy and sustainability program since 2010. “I was born passionate about Mother Nature. It was just called love; it wasn’t called sustainability.”

When she began her post almost three years ago, newcomer had no predecessor to turn to for advice. The position is one she created, with the help of Glenn Haubold, NMSU assistant vice president for facilities. Half her salary is paid for by the savings accrued by the depart-ment’s efforts in energy savings. She previously worked as project manager at NMSU’s Office of Facilities and Services.

“My passion for the environment, driven by a life-long interest in camping, hiking and the outdoors translated into the position,” she said, adding that her goals are to cut energy use and energy costs.

Though they seem similar, she said, cost is about examining when energy is being uti-lized, while use is about changing behavior, such as turning off the lights when no one’s in the room and unplugging devices not in use.

“Between noon and 6 p.m. from June to August, we are charged five times more per kilowatt hour,” she said. “I tell people that if they’re going to do a big experiment that’s go-ing to use a lot of energy, please don’t do it be-tween those hours.”

When trying to persuade others of the im-portance of conserving energy, newcomer tries to appeal to their common sense. In August 2012, for example, NMSU’s energy bill was more than $600,000. She hopes to reduce that figure by 25 percent.

“People need an incentive to do things,” she said. “If you knew that every time you went to the store and used a reusable bag and didn’t put plastic into the environment, which kills a lot of animals because they’re eating plastic bags, that’s an incentive to do well.”

An example of an incentive for people turn-ing off their energy is that energy bill from last August.

“If you knew that by reducing the bill you could buy more textbooks, computer equip-ment or have a greater salary, it becomes per-sonal because the first bill that gets paid is the power bill – not your salary, not computers, not furniture,” she said.

“Now that 97 percent of climate scientists are saying that climate change is caused by humans, I try to get people to understand that this problem isn’t going away. I try to educate people with facts. Pretty soon we won’t be able to ignore them.”

Many of newcomer’s efforts are focused on appealing to the student population. She works closely with student organizations, explaining

that they are graduating into a different world and it will be up to them to take care of it.

She described Las Cruces as “so far behind” in going green, in comparison to nationwide efforts. To gain more momentum, she said, there must be support from administration. Despite newcomer’s uphill battle to see NMSU go green, she remains optimistic and often boasts about having the best job on campus.

“It’s fun, frustrating and exciting,” she said. “I am fortunate enough to have blended all of my interests into one opportunity to be able to foster connecting people communitywide in the belief that our planet should be treated with love and care to ensure that the resources and natural beauty we enjoy today are available for many generations to come.”

A Kansas native, newcomer grew up on a ranch, near a lake surrounded by animals. She was raised to be resourceful.

She earned her first degree in interior ar-chitecture from Arizona State University and spent her early career space planning and de-signing education and medical facilities.

“The first 20 years of my career I was working on schools, hospitals and govern-ment facilities, doing commercial design,” she said. “When I moved here, I took the job as project manager managing the construction and remodeling of buildings. As a LEED-AP, that helps me manage how we build green buildings.”

As the sustainability manager, newcomer said she continues to educate herself while trying to teach others the importance of sustainability.

She works closely with the Sustainability Council, which strives to incorporate and foster sustainability on campus. The volunteer group meets at 8:30 a.m. the second Wednesday of each month in Milton Hall, room 85.

“I want students to be more radical,” new-comer said. “We need to have more of an activ-ists’ group.”

Additionally, she hopes to educate people about sustainability efforts that go beyond recycling.

“If you look at the recycling arrows, it’s ‘reduce, reuse and recycle,’ and everyone for-gets the other two. You cannot reduce waste if you’re buying the bottle and then recycling it – you’re still putting waste into the planet,” she said. “You have to reduce your waste first. And then, ideally, if you have something, you’ve re-used it. The point is to not put things in the landfill. People talk about throwing things away – it’s not away, it’s still there. You have to not purchase it in the first place.”

Last year, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) recognized NMSU’s sus-tainability program with a gold rating in its Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System.

AASHE looked at three categories to de-termine NMSU’s rating: operations; education and research; and planning, administration and engagement.

When asked what her future goals for the department are, newcomer said they haven’t changed. She remains committed to educating herself and others on sustainability initiatives such as transportation and energy and waste reduction.

Though she said she’s often made fun of be-cause of her commitment to sustainability, she has no plans to change.

“I’m not your average bear,” she said.

Jack Key Kia, the newest and youngest member to the Jack Key Auto Group, will be having a three-day charity event at the dealership located at 955 S. Valley Drive, in

an attempt to raise $20,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

The event will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 with an

inauguration featuring UFC star Jon “Bones” Jones and professional boxer Austin “No Doubt” Trout. It will conclude at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25. The dealership will extend its hours of operation on Saturday and Sunday until midnight.

In order to raise the money, $200 will be donated to the MDA

for every new or used car sold dur-ing the three-day event. In addition, General Manager Joey Zaremba, will be placed on a scissor lift at the inauguration of the event and will be lifted more than 30 feet up in the air, where he will remain until the goal of $20,000 is reached, thus naming the event, Jack Key Kia’s “Get Me Down Charity Event.”

In addition, three pre-owned ve-hicles will be given away at midnight

Friday, midnight Saturday and 8 p.m. Sunday, at the conclusion of the event, and no purchase is nec-essary to participate.

Jack Key Kia has partnered with the El Paso MDA, which represents the association at a regional level covering El Paso, Las Cruces and the surrounding areas, and will have the support of local firefight-ers as well.

Escorted by the Patriot Guard Riders to its permanent base in a rural home on Snow Road, a semi delivered a gleaming and beauti-fully restored 1959 Chevy Apache truck Friday, Feb. 3, to the widow and family of an offi cer killed in Afghanistan in 2008.

Before his deployment, Capt. Bruce Hays of the Army National Guard in Wyoming had bought the pickup truck as an anniver-sary gift for his wife, Terry, a na-tive of Anthony, N.M., who he fi rst met when they were both

students at New Mexico State University.

The couple was married 17 years ago and have fi ve children. Originally from Capitan, N.M., Bruce Hays worked at the Army Research Lab at White Sands Missile Range when he was a col-lege student.

The Mesilla offi cials are try-ing to counter publicity from a letter issued by the state League of United Latin America Citizens (LULAC) that claims its organi-zation has received numerous complaints about racial profi ling

in the town.Mesilla Mayor Nora Barraza

said she spoke with Marshal Jeff Gray, who was at the press con-ference, about the accusations. Gray said he also spoke with his offi cers and could fi nd no veri-fi cation there is racial profi ling going on.

The LULAC claims revolve around a grant to the marshal’s departments from Homeland Security as part of the contro-versial Operation Stonegarden, which has used local law enforce-ment to assist with immigration enforcement.

Gray said the three-year $184,000 grant helps pay for overtime to offi cers and equip-ment to allow the department to have more patrols. A person’s

WHAT’S INSIDENEXT WEEK BUSINESS

Las Cruces City Council voted 6-1 Monday, Feb. 6, to give its blessings to the proposal to open an American Indian ca-sino in Anthony, N.M.

Rubén Smith, a former Las Cruces mayor who has been an early supporter of the casino project, told the council the casino project is still alive.

Last fall, an Interior Department offi -cial rejected an application by the Jemez Pueblo for an off-reservation casino in Anthony, N.M. The problem with that action, Smith said, was the pueblo was still working on its Environmental Im-pact Statement as part of the application process.

“The Interior Department didn’t fol-low its own procedures,” Smith said.

As a result of the news about the In-terior Department’s rejection of the ap-plication, Smith said, “there is a public perception that the project is dead, but the reality is that it is very much alive.”

The pueblo and its supporters were able to convince the Interior Department to allow the pueblo to resubmit its ap-plication, Smith said, putting the process back in motion.

Located in the mountains northwest of Albuquerque, Jemez Pueblo has been trying to get approval to open an off-reservation casino in Anthony, N.M. The pueblo doesn’t have natural resources – such as gas or timber – to use for eco-nomic support, and its location is off main interstates and state highways.

Smith, who is also a former lawmaker, said he never supported bills related to American Indian casinos, but he is a pro-ponent of this project because of the eco-nomic “win-win” potential for the pueblo and southern New Mexico residents.

Jemez has been working with Santa Fe art dealer Gerald Peters to develop a $55 million casino and hotel in Anthony, N.M.

C24 CELEBRATE NEW MEXICO’S BEST WITH

THE HARVEST WINE FESTIVAL

AND HATCH CHILE FESTIVAL

NEXT WEEK

2013 WSIFFWhite Sands International Film Festival kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Ah, Labor Day; that glorious fi rst Monday of September when we as a country band to-gether and celebrate the invaluable contribu-tions of the American work force by, well, not going to work for three days.

Th e unoffi cial last day of summer – and, for you high-society types, the last day of the year fashionable to wear white or seersucker – Labor Day in the Mesilla Valley is an extra special time, when two of New Mexico’s best-loved crops are harvested and ready for consumption.

Th at’s right – it’s wine and chile season. Th e Scoville-scorching peppers have been picked and are roasting as we speak, fi lling the valley with their intoxicating aroma, one of the fi rst signs of fall for many New Mexicans. Th ou-sands of acres of grapes have been plucked from the vine and crushed, their juices fer-mented, oaked, bottled, corked and are now ready to intoxicate in their own right.

What better way to celebrate the arrival of these two world-renowned agricultural won-ders of New Mexico than spending Labor Day

weekend sampling this season’s fi nest? With the annual Harvest Wine Festival and Hatch Chile Festival, as well as a fi ne art festival fea-turing more than 80 regional artists (see page C21), the splendors of the valley will be on full display, a celebration of the close of a diffi cult but successful growing season for the farmers and laborers who make their way in the Land of Enchantment.

Hatch Chile FestivalHatch, the “Chile Capital of the World” just

30 miles northeast of Las Cruces, is home to more than 10,000 acres of the coveted veg-etable, from mild to ultra-hot, and each year, the harvest is celebrated with a two-day festival dedicated to all things chile.

Th e 42nd annual Hatch Chile Festival kicks off at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Hatch Municipal Airport with a parade, followed by opening ceremonies at 11 a.m.

From there, it’s two days full of fun, featur-ing men’s, women’s and co-ed chile-eating con-tests, live music from the Yarbrough Band, the Desert Wind Band and La Magiztral Senoria, Country and Spanish dancing, mariachis, arts, craft s and food vendors, a carnival, horseshoes

tournament, mud volleyball, a beer garden and, new this year, a chile cook-off featuring the best recipes for both red and green.

“Th is year, people will be able to come in, taste all these diff erent chile dishes and judge it for themselves,” said Tina Cabrales, festival organizer. “When people come to Hatch, they come for the chile, for the taste of Hatch, and before, there wasn’t a way to try the chile in dishes, just buying it in bulk. Th is year, they’ll be able to buy the chile as well as taste all the ways you can use it.”

Th e festival, which began informally more than four decades ago as a way for the farm-ers to sell their chile fresh aft er harvest, has evolved over the years, but Cabrales said it’s still “all about the chile.”

“Th e festival is very important to us,” she said. “It’s a way to show respect to the labor-ers and farmers and what they’ve worked for all year-round. Th ey’ve worked hard, laboring and working their crops, and this is the result of all that hard work and time.

“Over the years, the festival has become a bit more commercial, but the chile festival is still for the farmers, for the laborers, for Hatch, the community and the people in it. It’s a cel-ebration of not only the chile, but the people who grew it – the true fl avor of Hatch.”

Mexico’s award-winning wines are also putting us on the map. Th ere’s no better place to sam-ple all the Land of Enchantment has to off er than the Harvest Wine Fest, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday through Monday, Aug. 31-Sept. 2, at the Southern New Mexico State Fairgrounds, 12125 Robert Larson Blvd., west of Las Cruces.

With more than 15 participating vineyards, including Tierra Encantada, Luna Rossa, Heart of the Desert, Dos Viejos, Rio Grande, Ponderosa Valley, Amaro Winery, Blue Teal, Wines of the San Juan, St. Clair, San Felipe, DH Lescombes and Tularosa Vineyards, all of the state’s best varietals will be available for tasting and purchase.

Th e Harvest Wine Fest also features more than 50 arts and craft s vendors, 15 food vendors to sate all appetites, hourly grape stomping contests and live music from Radio la Chusma and Nosotros (Saturday), Eli James Band and Las Cruces’ own hometown hero, Josh Grider (Sunday) and Soulshine and Locomotion (Monday).

Not only is the Harvest Wine Festival a fun way to close out another scorching desert sum-mer, but a way to support one of New Mexico’s most vital agricultural products.

“Th e wine festival is a great chance to see what the wineries have to off er, and it’s vital to the industry,” said Dawn Starostka of Helping Hands Event Planning. “It gives the winemak-ers that rare face-to-face contact with the com-munity, as well as a chance to sell their prod-ucts directly and tell their stories. It’s also one

of the few chances a lot of them get to get their products straight to the consumer from the producers themselves.”

In life, sometimes hard decisions have to be made – a dilem-ma Jay Rathbone learns firsthand in “Roswell FM,” the feature film of the White Sands International Film Festival and creation of writer David Spence and director Stephen Griffin.

Rathbone (Brendan Fehr) has a choice to make that many are familiar with: Stay at the paranormal talk radio station he loves or quit his dream profession and take a higher paying, yet less fulfilling, job to help send his nephew to college.

“I was really into paranormal talk radio at the time, I thought it was fun and I wanted that to be the setting and backdrop … beyond that I wanted to tell a sort of sweet story about friends and sort of what it means to lose your friends and to try to get them back,” Spence said.

A Las Cruces native, Spence wrote the script while taking a screenwriting class from Mark Medoff at the New Mexico State University Creative Media Institute.

“I started off college not knowing what I wanted to do. I took my first screenwriting class with (Medoff) … and sort of never looked back,” he said.

Spence said he showed the script to Medoff, who said he wanted to get it made. Unfortunately, the project picked up and lost steam several times, and Spence ended up attending Florida State University, where, as fate would have it, Griffin was also a film student.

Griffin, originally from a suburb outside of Dallas, found his way into the film industry after a broadcasting class in high school sparked his interest in telling stories.

“Dave and I started hanging out at the end of our first year,” he said, adding that the two eventually lived together. “We’re linked in that way. That’s where we kind of started collaborat-ing, that’s where we started working together.”

They began 310 House Media, named in honor of the home they lived in, and their first project was to bring “Roswell FM” to the big screen.

“I love Dave and his voice and I think the story just hit home with me,” Griffin said about the script. “What initially attracted

me to it was how heartwarming it was, how quirky it was, how charming it was. … That’s the first thing I noticed about reading the script is that every single character was really well defined and they all have a point of view. You really want to root for them.”

The duo headed to New Mexico and filmed the movie – which also stars Jason London and Brian Tee – predominately in Roswell and Artesia, with a few pick-up shots done in Las Cruces.

“The most purist sense of it, I would say, if it’s nothing else, it’s totally a New Mexico film,” Spence said. “I grew up here. I always envisioned the story being in New Mexico. That’s where it was set and it made a lot of sense, especially with the growing film industry in New Mexico and tax incentives, to film it here.”

“It’s a New Mexico crew, a lot of New Mexico actors, it’s shot in New Mexico. It’s about New Mexico,” Griffin said.

Spence and Griffin, who both taught at NMSU CMI while the film was in post-production, said that there were bumps and obstacles along the way – such as temperamental New Mexico weather – but the end result was worth it.

“The whole process is rewarding,” Griffin said. “I love the detail, I love – it’s going to sound ridiculous – but staying up all night trying to find the best performance of a shot or walking around the fields of Roswell to find the best place.”

“Seeing the stuff that made me so happy to write being brought to life was pretty rewarding and pretty satisfying,” Spence said. “I can’t wait to show it to audiences now that it’s done.”

“Roswell FM” will premiere at the film festival at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, at the Allen Theatres Cineport 10 in Mesilla Valley Mall.

“Only one film gets to open (WSIFF) and I think it’s really a huge honor, and I think it feels great to bring the work back to where I grew up,” Spence said.

“I lived (in Las Cruces) for almost two years and it was pretty awesome,” Griffin said. “I think it’s so incredible for them to ask us to be part of this and show it to the community, and that the first place we really show a community the film can be Las Cruces is more than we can ever ask.”

Five mornings a week, long before many of us have even staggered out of bed and brewed our much-needed morning coffee, John Pullaro is already in his kitchen, simmering pots of rich, hearty Italian sauces on the stove and grating fresh the finest imported Italian cheeses as the ovens warm up for the day.

Pullaro is the owner, cook and one of just three employees of Pullaro’s Italian Restaurant, 901 W. Picacho Ave., a homey, authentic Sicilian restaurant hidden away along the always-under-construction avenue through the heart of Las Cruces.

Pullaro, who has made his home in the Mesilla Valley for more than four decades after a childhood spent in New York City and, later, Tampa, Fla., is the first American-born citizen of his exten-sive family, which hails from Sicily, the large island off the southern tip of Italy.

Since 1972, Pullaro’s Italian Restaurant has provided Las Cruces the finest and most authentic Sicilian food, made from scratch each day by its af-fable owner from recipes instilled in his family by his grandmother, who lived to the age of 102, and passed to his mother, who taught young John Pullaro the secret to real Sicilian cooking.

His parents, Italian immigrants in Manhattan, were in the restaurant busi-ness. When Pullaro’s father got on in his years and was unable to continue the work, he was disappointed that none of his seven children was going into the business for themselves.

John Pullaro, then a successful insur-ance agent, fifth in a company of more than 7,000, asked his father, “Pop, would it make you happy if I opened a real, Italian restaurant?”

“His face just lit up,” Pullaro said. “Ever since then, I’ve been in the busi-ness – almost 50 years now.”

Every one of his former coworkers at the agency thought he was crazy, Pullaro said, some claiming he couldn’t resist the lure of the comfy desk and the suit and tie.

Nearing five decades, it’s clear their suspicions were wholly unfounded; Pullaro has devoted himself to the restaurant, carving out a customer base of delighted weekly, and sometimes even daily, regulars, now more like family and friends than mere patrons.

Inside Pullaro’s Italian Restaurant, the walls are literally full. Plastic grape arbors bedecked with twinkling lights line the walls and ceiling of the entrance, giving way to large, painted murals of scenes from the Old Country. Red, white and green flags are everywhere, decree-ing the warmth and friendliness of Italy’s people; “Italians Rule!” reads one, “The Best People Have a Root in the Boot,” another.

Newspaper clippings, postcards, pho-tos and greeting cards from families and friends fill the space near the kitchen and counter, some from Pullaro’s own relatives, others from the hundreds of customers he’s gotten to know over the years. There are letters and Christmas cards from his grandchildren, as well as several construction paper and crayon rave reviews; one, scrawled in child’s lettering replete with backwards R’s, reads “your spegety is my faveret, best resteront evar.” Even the pre-literate love Pullaro’s.

The heavenly aromas of roasting garlic, baking bread and simmering sauces waft from the kitchen, along with the familiar clinks and clatters of a home kitchen. The crooners – Martin, Sinatra, Darin – ease from the speakers, adding to the ambiance.

A small dining room, perhaps 10 to 12 tables seating 30, decked in red cloths that match the old-style shuttered win-dows, greets diners, as does John Pullaro himself.

When he’s not in the kitchen prepar-ing his signature dishes – manicotti, meat and cheese ravioli, lasagna, 17 combinations of spaghetti and pizzas, as well as three homemade soups – Pullaro is a common sight in the dining room. With his slicked hair, pencil mustache and trademark red suspenders, Pullaro is a true “Paisan,” shaking hands of his patient and smiling guests, asking about their wives, their kids, their jobs, even recent surgeries. His patrons call him John, or Mr. Pullaro; some, more famil-iar than others, even call him Johnny. First-timers are just as welcome and, by the time they’re finished with a spec-tacular meal, it’s not unlikely they’ll feel like family, too.

For those first-timers to Pullaro’s, the owner, and this writer, recommend the Pullaro’s Specialty: a large meat ravioli and large cheese ravioli, both painstak-ingly made in-house, a half-order each of the signature manicotti and lasagna, along with a green salad and an order of hot, fresh, flaky garlic bread. It’s a great introduction to Pullaro’s age-old, authentic Sicilian style; a trip to the Old Country in the heart of Las Cruces.

SANITARIUM4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, Cineport 10“Sanitarium” is an anthology that consists of three tales based on particular patients (featuring Lou Diamond Phillips) of a mental institution. Each tale begins with Dr. Stenson, the primary physician at the sanitarium, commenting on the recent arrival of a new patient. “Sanitarium” explores the different narratives of the insane patients – tales which led to their crazed states of minds.

There’s no doubt about it, film festivals can be a bit overwhelming. So many films you’ve probably never even heard of being screened in such a short amount of time. It just isn’t possible to watch them all. And even if you are able to make a few choices, based on the synopsis provided, it’s really a crap shoot as to whether or not those choices will actually appeal to your individual tastes.

The other side of that coin is that film festivals are the breeding ground for future trends in the filmmaking industry, so crap shoots are what it’s all about. Kevin Smith’s “Clerks,” “The Blair Witch Project” and the Coen Brothers’ “Blood Simple” are just a few of the international hits that got their start on the film festival circuit. The lucky few who caught them before they became the “next big thing,” can now lay claim to bragging rights as the first to see their worth.

This year’s lineup of films at the White Sands International Film Festival contains a few that I believe are destined for future success. We know you can’t see them all, but maybe I can break it down for you. Here, then, are the films, by loose category, I think have a high probability of success in the ongo-ing pursuit of that elusive distribution deal.

For those who love slowly unfolding think films with characters they can root for, you can’t go wrong with the following. “Spar-row Dance” is a quirky and sweet misfit love story about a shut-in who finds unexpected companionship with a talkative plumber. “Mad Ship” is an epically beautiful yet tragic tale of a Norwegian immigrant family chasing the American dream during a time of economic upheaval and drought.

Interested in shocking social commen-tary? Try these. “Reality Show” is a brutal and scathing look at how far reality television can be pushed and its repercussions within society. “Forgetting The Girl” is a disarming glimpse into the mind of a sociopathic “nice guy” whose idea of a break up is far from socially acceptable. “Prevertere” examines the lengths one man will go to in order to pre-serve his alternative lifestyle and the ripples his lies cause among the people around him.

Is it films with historic scope that wind your clock? “The Retrieval” is a Civil War study of one young slave’s introduction to the world of selflessness and noble causes, while on a bounty hunt for unscrupulous white owners. Got a theater geek in the fam-ily? You’ll want to catch “Just 45 Minutes to Broadway,” a broadly funny and at times over-the-top cinematic adaptation of an off-Broadway play about a theatrical family faced with the reality of changing times.

If horror comedies are your thing, there’s only one film that fits that bill. “Buck Wild” is a broad farce that combines frat boy antics with hillbilly stereotypes and a growing zombie threat. If it’s gritty action involving drug lords and anti-heroes with a heart of gold that get your engine running, try “Down And Dangerous,” just beware of the inevitable clichés the genre breeds.

You want star power? This year’s batch of films isn’t exactly overloaded with big names, but they can be found in a handful of the films on display. Burning brightest would have to be “Sanitarium,” a tasty little collection of nightmares featuring such recognizable faces as Malcolm McDowell, John Glover, Rob-ert Englund, Lacey Chabert and this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award-winner, Lou Diamond Phillips. Fellow ex-brat packer Judd Nelson makes an appearance in two of the aforementioned entries, “Just 45 Minutes to Broadway” and “Down and Dangerous.”

On the documentary front, narration by Mr. Documentary himself, Peter Coyote, can be found in the poignant “Be Home Soon: Letters From My Grandfather,” while Mark Hamill can be heard voicing segments of “Finnigan’s War,” both of which rate very high on the must-see scale, particularly if well-crafted glimpses into the lives of real Ameri-can heroes is your cuppa joe.

Other documentaries you really shouldn’t miss are the following. “Submit: The Docu-mentary” is a thoughtful look at cyber-bul-lying that should be shown to all middle and high school kids. “From Zimbabwe to Santa Fe,” is an engaging look at basket makers from three tiny villages in Africa who brave the treacherous waters of capitalism to bring their wares to the largest folk art market in Santa Fe. “Running for Jim” is a thoroughly

engrossing study of the effects of Lou Gehrig’s Disease, through the eyes of a high school track coach with a “can do” attitude.

Features and documentaries make up the bulk of the festival, but they are far from all there is to be seen. Because both the short and student categories are grouped into clusters, it really is a roll of the dice, but if you are so inclined, the rewards can be great this time around.

To truly appreciate the film festival atmo-sphere, it’s always best to enter the theater with an open mind and a willingness to expe-rience viewpoints outside of the Hollywood norm. It’s what makes the festival circuit so appealing to the true cinephile. That coupled with the possibility that the discerning viewer may just be an early witness to the next big thing. So, take a chance, make some selec-tions and support independent filmmaking. The future of cinema is yours for the price of a ticket.

Details

Th e rear-most seat in many 1970s-90s station wagons and conversion vans – the one that faced out the back window – was always the fi rst choice among disaff ected, scowling teens, myself once included.

Every summer, on the highways and rural back roads of my native southern Michigan, you could spot them, scowling at the world from the “way, way back,” as I and my fellow Midwestern brethren know it, faces blank, jaws slacked, eyes cold, as parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and younger, less-angsty siblings talked, laughed and sang on their way to the lake, to the beach, to town.

“Th e Way Way Back” opens with 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) riding in the “way, way back” of his maybe-future-stepfather Trent’s (Steve Carell) vintage 1970s Buick Estate Wagon. Trent asks Duncan how he sees himself, on a scale of one to 10. Aft er a stony silence, then a stumble, then a huff , Duncan ranks himself a six. Trent tells him he’s a three, “buddy,” for not applying himself, for spending too much time alone, for not relating to kids his age. It’s half-hilarious, half-devastating and sets the tone for this touchingly nostalgic, achingly funny coming-of-age tale.

Stuck on a lengthy vacation to the New England shore with his mother Pam (a wonderful Toni Collette), her self-important, self-centered boyfriend Trent and his cruelly teenaged daughter Steph (Zoe Levin), intro-verted Duncan sulks around Trent’s beach house, silent and avoiding.

Added to this proto-family are the other putative adults who haunt the beach houses of the New England shore, nearly lift ed from an Updike novel, including next-door neighbor Betty (a terrifi c Allison Janney) and couple

Kip and Joan (Rob Corddry and Amanda Peet).

Th ey’re all adults in name only, putative grown-ups who

treat the beach house like “spring break for adults,”

as Betty’s daughter sighs. Th ey stay up all night, drink too much, casually smoke pot, get too much sun, disappear to the beach in the middle of the night, fool around, ease their hangovers with Bloody Marys and mimosas and do it all

over again. Growing up on the inland lakes of Michi-

gan, we called them “Lake Lizards,” and I knew more than a few of their disaff ected and oft en disappointed sons and daughters.

Eager for an escape, Duncan discovers a too-small girl’s bike, all neon green and hot pink streamers, and sets off through town. Ped-aling this ridiculous bike through the streets, alone with his thoughts with the wind in his

hair, it’s the fi rst time Duncan cracks a smile. It’s a funny and wrenching scene, and a feeling I can remember clearly.

It is on one of these rides that Duncan dis-covers Water Wizz, a waterpark built in 1983 and proudly never updated. (“If they ever bring this place up to code,” the founder is supposed to have said, “I want it burned to the ground.” )

Th e park is managed by Owen (a never-better Sam Rockwell) a sort of perpetual child, consistently late to work and delegating his scant duties at the park he literally lives in – he stays in an effi ciency apartment above the offi ce – to his equally disinterested staff , played by SNL-veteran Maya Rudolph and di-rectors/writers Jim Rash and Nat Faxon, both familiar faces with unfamiliar names.

Inside the walls of Water Wizz, under the oddly parental infl uence of foul-mouthed man-child Owen and his motley crew, Duncan comes out of his shell, landing himself a sum-mer job, a break-dancing related nickname (Pop ’n’ Lock) and, surprisingly, a closer ap-proximation of a family than he has at home.

“Th e Way Way Back” may sound awfully familiar, and that’s because it is. Not only is the fi lm built around well-known coming-of-age tropes, but it’s steeped in a deep sense of nostalgia and timelessness. Save for the inclu-sion of an iPod, Duncan could be living in any of the last three decades.

Nostalgia is a funny thing. While seen for centuries as a neurological disorder (the term comes from the Greek “nostos,” or return-ing home from a long journey, and “algos,” meaning pain or longing), recent evidence supplants this idea, claiming that, in fact, those rose-tinted thoughts of yesteryear can, in fact, counteract feelings of boredom and loneliness, make people more generous and tolerant, make couples feel closer and even give many a way to defi ne what their lives “meant” aft er the fact.

Nostalgia is bittersweet, though, and “Th e Way Way Back” has its share of pain. It’s diffi cult to watch Duncan haunt his way through a world of adults who don’t practice what they preach, lost, alone and growing further from his mother under the creepy, cruel domination of Trent.

Summertime tends to make some of the stronger nostalgic memories. Th e lengthy days, the late-night bonfi res, the quiet, sublit-toral hum of waves gracing the shoreline, lightning bugs signaling one another in the dark – these I hold dearer than most, and “Th e Way Way Back” feels just like that remi-niscence. Th e joys, pains, cracked voices, fi rst kisses and public humiliations – they’re all here. “Th e Way Way Back,” thanks to its stellar cast, is either the best movie of the summer, or the best movie about summer, in all its good, its bad and its ugly.

“Land o’ Goshen” is an old say-ing that comes from who knows where and is oft en an exclamation of surprise.

I guess that’s what I had while watching “Beyond the Hills,” a labo-rious and oft en non-consum-ing fi lm steeped in darkness and religious hypertension.

As directed by Cristian Mungiu, whose earlier fi lm “4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days” is one of my favorite foreign fi lms of all time, “Beyond the Hills” fails to match the tone, tension and story of that picture.

It does meet the bleakness quota, however, as it starts and remains inside a small and fl ail-ing monastery in Romania.

A young woman, Voichita, is a new nun, one who might have fi nally found a place of quiet and safety aft er being raised, if one can call it that, in an orphanage. Now 25, she is working hard to change her life and to keep her vows.

Th e monastery run by a strict but even-handed priest only has a

few occupants, nuns of all ages, who are cut off from most modern conveniences and always struggle when something involving money arises. Th ey pass their days with minor tasks, errands, prayer and religious discussion that sometimes reaches into a list of nearly 500 sins provided by Western civilization

that is oft en read aloud. Soon, things begin to

change dramatically. Although we are never

really privy to much of their earlier lives, Voichita was in the orphanage with Alina, who became her close friend and perhaps her lover as well.

Alina, still in a quandary about what to do with her life, arrives at the monastery to visit with Voichita. She is encour-aged to do what Voichita has

successfully been doing, but it is quite apparent aft er a short time that Alina has no designs on that; rather, she has decided that she wants to be “with” Voichita again and rekindle the friendship and perhaps the love aff air (this is somewhat murky) that the two once shared.

But Voichita does not want to do that. She tries to remain kind to Alina, who does not take the news well and becomes hysterical. She leaps from trying to fi t in at the monastery to trying to leave, is dropped off at the local hospital and fi nally becomes so distraught, she is alternately catatonic and then able to create the strength of one possessed.

Th is is all beyond the scope of most of those at the monastery, who alternately try prayer as a cure, then force Alina to leave only to accept her back with major reservations, and fi nally tie her down in a cold hut on the monastery grounds.

Finally at a loss as to how to han-dle Alina, the conclusion is reached that she is indeed possessed.

By now, due to the length of the fi lm, it began to try my patience. Many scenes become cyclic, with Alina being the focal point, of course. She had so many issues and was so complex that I would have tied her down in the shack myself.

“Beyond the Hills” tries hard to be a sort of indictment about Eastern Orthodox religion, but by the time it plods to its end, it loses focus on just what it was doing besides allowing Cristina Flutur, the actress who plays Alina, to probably give the performance of her career.

Fleeting imagery and pure befuddlement by those out of tune with the real world can assist in making a fi lm like this interesting and moving, but they must be is-sued in smaller, quicker ways to be eff ective.

“Beyond the Hills” may make you wish you were beyond the hills yourself.

Located in the valley, the home at 1104 Lopez Road isn’t a typical residence found in the Southwest.

Rather than adobe walls and flat roofs, the home, originally built about 22 years ago and added on to 10 years ago, features a brick exterior and cathedral-esque pitched ceilings.

“A lot of people say it feels like you’re up north,” said homeowner Fig Padilla, who moved into the two-story residence with his family in 2000.

Padilla said they were attracted to the home, a unique combination of ranch style and cabin getaway, for several reasons.

“We really liked the setting,” he said of the 2.23-acre horse property, which features numerous pecan trees. “It’s like a country executive setting. … The pecan trees give it a forest feel. And because of the pecan trees, most people don’t know it’s here.”

After the scenic excursion along Valley Drive to Lopez Road, a long gravel path leads past trees and a large grassy yard to the approximately 3,200-square-foot home. A

brick patio is located in front of the home near a small vegetable garden.

“The lady who built the home did a very nice job. There is a lot of vegetation and vines. There is mint in the garden for tea,” Padilla said. “It’s very relaxing out here.”

Brick steps lead to the large front door. Inside, solid oak floors line the way to the living room and two of the bedrooms, which compose the original house.

“It’s just a nice, open atmosphere in here,” Padilla said of the interior.

Wood trim lines the baseboards and doorways, including that of a full bath the Padillas had gutted and remodeled. The guest bedroom, which was at first two separate rooms, features large windows overlooking the front of the property.

The second bedroom, used as Padilla’s daughter’s room, is also large, and features a wall composed of mirrors, making the space feel even grander. This room showcases an attached bathroom – also gutted and remodeled by the family – for privacy.

The living room has a comfortable feel, Padilla said, partly because of its fireplace, which features the same speckled brick on the home’s façade. The living room faces the

kitchen and dining area, another space the Padillas had remodeled.

Updated appliances and dark granite countertops fill the kitchen. The rich cabinetry matches the exposed beams and tongue-and-groove paneling on the pitched ceiling, which contains automatic skylights. Steps lead down to the dining area.

“This area used to have carpet and a waterfall with plants,” said Padilla, adding that those features were replaced with tile floors and tables for casual and formal dining. “This is a great area for entertaining.”

Nearby are wooden stairs that lead to the second floor. A potting area greets guests and transitions into a sunroom. The work space, which includes a sink, is encased in green tile, a complement to the honey-colored cabinets.

The brick-lined floor of the sunroom is illuminated by large windows that bring in natural light. At the end of the hall, French doors lead to a screened-in outdoor area. Featuring a fireplace that is decorated in tile with animals, this space is great during the fall, Padilla said.

Finishing the upstairs is the master suite. Also tucked behind French doors, the master

bedroom is the Padillas’ relaxing retreat. The room is a sort of rustic oasis, thanks to its combination of wood on the floor, walls and roof and green accents on the corner fireplace and lead-glass light fixtures.

Rather than wood, the master bathroom features stone elements that give it its rustic atmosphere. African slate covers the angled countertop containing two sinks and continues in the shower area from floor to ceiling.

“This is a great retreat,” said Realtor Etta Kaufman of Coldwell Banker de Wetter Hovious Inc., who represents the property. “To me, the property has a very inspirational aspect about it.”

That feeling of inspiration continues outside of the home. A covered patio overlooks an enclosed portion of the income-producing property, separating the backyard from the surrounding farm land. At the center of the backyard is a rectangular swimming pool. Measuring about 9 feet deep, the pool also includes a diving board.

Padilla said the backyard is a great escape, especially in the spring when the lilac bush blooms, for not only his family, but also their neighbors who come by to enjoy the pool.

Texas ranger, or whatever you call it, is a great plant for southern New Mexico.

Gary GuzmanGardening Guru

Beside the home are the barn and horse corrals, which can be adjusted to accommodate the number of horses being housed.

Th e barn consists of RV parking, an area to store tractors, hay and other farming supplies, Padilla’s offi ce and his favorite area, the workshop.

Wood paneling covers the walls of the offi ce, which features high-speed Internet and is wired for a stove. Because the offi ce includes a three-fourths bathroom and a bedroom, it can easily be transformed into a guest suite.

“My favorite part is the large workshop,” Padilla said. “It’s so relaxing. I can come out here and get lost for hours.”

With enough room to house four trucks and fully wired with an air conditioner, the workshop gives Padilla space to work on his vehicles or his furniture refurbishing hobby. Leucophyllum, Texas ranger, Texas sage, barometer bush

– whatever you call them, they are a great choice for our hot and dry climate.

Th ese beauties come in an array of colors from white to lavender, pink and blue. Th e names include, but certainly are not limited to, white cloud, heavenly cloud, thunder cloud, nube green, green cloud, Lynn’s legacy, Rio Bravo or brave river, to name a few.

Th ese plants do best in full direct sunlight and bloom during the summer months and into the fall season. Some varieties tend to bloom when it rains, hence the name “ba-rometer bush.” Most of the newer varieties bloom off and on during the heat of the season.

The variety labelled “leucophyllum compacta” will typi-cally remain at a maximum height of 3 to 5 feet tall and wide. Most other varieties will grow from 5 to 8 feet or more, depending upon care. You can let these grow in to a natural form or they can be sheared as much as you wish. It is best to trim or prune leucophyllum after they have bloomed.

When pruning or trimming, try to remove as little foli-age at a time as possible. Don’t worry, they will soon bloom again. Th ey can be cut back severely in late spring if you wish to rejuvenate the look of an older specimen. Th is action may be the way to go, especially aft er a harsh winter, such as the one we just went through a couple of years ago.

Once established, older plants are very drought toler-ant, and usually do not need additional feeding. However, if your plant seems to be growing unusually slowly or does not bloom, then you should use an all purpose or high phospho-rous fertilizer.

New plantings will do best with a drip system and older plants will thrive with an occasional watering. It is important to remember not to disturb the delicate root ball when trans-planting out of their containers. Th is rule applies to all new plantings except for root balls that are extremely root bound.

Th e plants with light grayish or silver leaves use less water than ones with greener leaves, however. the ones with greener leaves seem to grow faster.

Most have a very light fragrance with the exception of “Sierra Bouquet.” Th is one has a very sweet, candy-like scent, but may not be as hearty as some of the other cultivars.

If you decide to plant one of these in your landscape, try to keep the tag in a fi le, as there are so many variations of this sage-like bush. Th is might come in handy if you need to replace one or want to match it up with one you already have. Of course, this is recommended for anything you plant, just in case.

In my experience, I have seen only a few ailments kill these shrubs: too much fertilizer, too much water, grub worms and a very harsh winter. Th e fi rst three on the list we can control. Th e last one on the list, well, that’s another story.

So if your are looking for something that has color and does not require much water, look no further than the Leu-cophyllum … or Texas Ranger … or Texas Sage …

By now, you should have made sure there is plenty of room in your freezer.

Hopefully, you have roasted a suffi cient amount of chile for a year’s worth of enchila-das, calditos, posole and rellenos, plus enough to put in all those other recipes New Mexicans know need that extra deliciousness.

As Gayla Weaver, a home economist for the Doña Ana County Extension Offi ce, said in last week’s article on roasting chile (Aug. 16, page C16): “Th e sooner they are frozen the better the texture will be and the fl avor.”

Before you start to put them away, don’t forget to protect your skin from the capsicum – wear gloves or grease your skin.

Th e size of the containers used to store the frozen chile depends on how you are going to use the chile, Weaver said.

“A quart-size bag is good,” said Erika Si-chler, program director at New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute. “It depends on how much you are going to use each time you get it out of the freezer. It’s probably best to use the full bag, because once you defrost it you don’t want to refreeze it.”

A person cooking only for themselves should freeze chile in small bags, while a big family may need larger ones, she said. If extra

chile is thawed, it can go to waste.“Th ey should not be left in the refrigerator

as roasted peppers for more than three days before they are frozen,” Weaver said.

A big pile of hot bags of green chile can take too long to cool, she said, and can lead to mushy chiles and even bacterial growth.

“When you put your bags into the refrig-erator or freezer, you want them to cool and freeze quickly,” she said. “You don’t want to pack them one on top of each other, you want the air to circulate around them, so put them on racks or just put a few in at a time.

Weaver and Sichler said chile will keep in the freezer for a year if properly stored.

“Most people in New Mexico use all of their chile in a year,” Sichler said, “so they have to wait for more.

“I have kept chile for up to two years, but I don’t think you would want to eat anything aft er it’s been in the freezer for more than two years.

“Even if you have some left , most people in New Mexico are going to buy more and throw it out.”

Th en again, some of us know that a forgot-ten bag of that “special” year’s crop can be a wonderful thing to fi nd in the bottom of your freezer.

Just make sure you cook it well.For more information, visit www.aces.

The countdown has begun! We’re only a weekend away from the 42nd annual Hatch Chile Festival held the weekend before Labor Day, Sunday and Saturday, Aug.31-Sept. 1.

For those of you new to the area, the Hatch Chile Festival is located about 30 miles north-west of Las Cruces at the airstrip, two miles west of Hatch on state Highway 26. The vil-lage, known as the Chile Capital of the World, grows more than 10,000 acres of lush-green chile peppers from mild to sizzling hot.

The festival celebrates the year’s harvest by roasting the fresh pods in large steel mesh baskets over a gas flame, emanating a lus-cious, smoky aroma. Thousands of attendees purchase 40 pounds or more of the greens to heat up favorite recipes year-round, such as the sizzling hot soups shared in this week’s column.

The two-day celebration also includes a parade and the crowning of Ms. Hatch 2013, chilehead chow, chile contests, chile pepper vendors peddling, trinkets, T-shirts and other chile pepper paraphernalia.

To cool off, thirsts are quenched at the beer tent. Don’t miss out! Mark your calendars now. For more information and the schedule of events, visit http://hatchchile.fest.com.

You may not know it, but aspirin – those little white best friends of those who’ve over-imbibed the night before – are good for lots of things beyond their medical uses for treating pain, headaches, fevers and even heart attacks and strokes.

With a plethora of uses around the house, you’ll want to be sure to keep a bottle at the ready, and not just for those suff ering Saturday mornings.

Note: Roughly 10 percent of people with severe asthma are also allergic to aspirin and all other products containing salicylic acid. Th at fi gure jumps to 30 to 40 percent of older asthmatics who suff er from nasal polyps or si-nusitis. Sensitivity to aspirin is also seen in a small percentage of those without any of these conditions, so care should be taken and a doc-tor should be consulted before using any medi-cation. Don’t use aspirin externally if you can’t take it internally.

1. Revive a dead car battery: Car not start-ing? It could be a dead battery – the last thing you’ll want to deal with in the morning. A quick fi x? Drop two aspirin tablets inside the battery itself. Th e acetylsalicylic acid will combine with the sulfuric acid inside the battery, producing one last charge, which should be enough to get your vehicle started long enough to make it to the mechanic.

2. Remove unsightly sweat stains: Most antiperspirants contain aluminum-based com-pounds, especially aluminum chloride, which, when it bonds with saline sweat, can cause un-sightly yellow stains that mar your favorite white shirts. No fear – aspirin is here. Crush two aspirin tablets and combine with 1/2 cup of warm water and soak the stained part of the garment for two to three hours. While a more expensive means to remove stains than other means – lemon juice, white vinegar, enzymatic meat tenderizers – the hotel mini-bar is far more likely to come stocked with aspirin than vinegar.

3. Restore hair color: Summertime seems made for poolside drinks, but for those who color their hair, the chlorine in pool can leave your summer ’do an unsightly greenish color. Here again, aspirin is good for more than sun- and cocktail-induced headaches. Dis-solve six to eight tablets in warm water, rub the solution thoroughly into your hair and let set for 15 minutes; you should be back to that bodacious beach-blonde aft er just a few aspi-rin washes.

4. Zap zits and pulverize pimples: Breakouts can trouble even those well out of their awkward, greasy teenage years, but again, aspirin saves the day. Crush one aspirin tablet, moisten with a bit of water and create a paste. Apply the paste to the pimple, let sit for a few minutes and then wash with soap and water. Th e salicylic acid contained in aspirin is the same active ingredient in many anti-acne treatments, and should help ease the redness, sting and swelling of an unsightly blemish.

5. Keep cut fl owers fresh: Fresh-cut fl owers are a beautiful but fl eeting luxury. Prolong their glory with – you guessed it – aspirin. Dissolve an aspirin in the water before adding the fl ow-ers, and they’ll stay bright and beautiful for days to come. Other household additives that can have the same eff ect are multivitamins, a pinch of salt or baking soda and even a copper penny, but aspirin is tried and true – just make sure to change the water every few days.

6. Soothe insect bites and stings: During monsoon season – or what we in Las Cruces know of one – mosquitos and other stinging, biting in-sects are a bane. Lucky for you, that bottle of as-pirin isn’t quite empty yet. To help soothe the itch and sting of those summer pests, wet the aff ected area and rub an aspirin tablet over the bite or sting.

7. Destroy dandruff : If fl akes are making your favorite black top look heather grey, smash two aspirin tablets into a fi ne powder and add it to your normal amount of shampoo. Lather up your mop, let the mixture sit in your hair for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse well and wash again with plain shampoo. Again, the salicylic acid con-tained in those little miracles is the same active ingredient in many anti-dandruff shampoos.

8. Use as a great garden aid: To help plants survive traumatic experiences, including cut-ting, cloning and transplanting, aspirin again comes in handy. Some use it as a way to treat fungus in the soil, while others use it as a root-ing agent. Remember, though: Too much aspir-ing means too much salicylic acid, which in large amounts can burn or otherwise damage greenery. Typical dosage should be sparse, no more than one tablet per full gallon of water.

9. Soft en calluses: To soft en unsightly and unpleasant calluses on your feet, grind fi ve or six tablets into a fi ne powder, then make a thick paste by adding 1/2 teaspoon each of lemon juice and water. Spread the paste onto the rough parts of your feet, then wrap in a warm towel followed by a plastic bag. Stay off your feet and rest your dogs for 10 minutes, remove the bag and towel and take to the soft ened callus with a pumice stone or other abrasive.

Labor Day weekend in the Mesilla Valley consists of several cultural festivals celebrating the traditions of the area, one such being the Franciscan Art Festival Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 31-Sept. 1, held by the Holy Cross Retreat Center.

While the festival began in the 1960s as an art fair, Juan Albert, business manager of the retreat center, said the

Franciscans have a long history of loving art, dating back to St. Francis himself.

“There is a quote from St. Francis that says, ‘He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist,’” he said.

Albert said the local art festival took off in the 1990s under the direction of Father Marcos Reyna, an artist.

“The festival has grown in style, depending on the director at the time,” said Holy Cross Retreat Center Facility Coordinator Donna Hollis. “Father Marcos was an artist, so everything he did was artistic.

“It started as an arts and crafts fair – people would bring what they have done at home. The point of this retreat center has always been a gathering place for people.”

The festival took a hiatus for a few years, but returned in 2004. Since its return, the festival has seen approximately 3,000 people over two days, a trend Albert expects to con-tinue.

“Every year it’s created more buzz, and this year we’re having more artists than ever,” he said.

The 95 artists from throughout New Mexico, Texas and Ari-zona who will display their work at the festival cover a wide range of media – such as photography, painting, beading and gourds, among others – and themes.

“I think people like to come out here,” Hollis said. “It’s a peaceful place and they can come here and relax and enjoy the surroundings.”

“The festival is a place that Generation X, baby boomers and ‘The Greatest Generation’ can all come out an have a great time,” Albert said.

In addition to the abundance of visual art available, the fes-tival will feature an array of musical entertainment and food

vendors, as well as a beer and wine garden.Albert said last year Abbey Monk’s Ale from the Monastery

of Christ in the Desert in Abiquiu, N.M., was a hit, and this year it’s back and will debut two new beverages – kolsch and Monk’s pale ale – during the festival.

“We had a nice marriage with them last year,” Albert said. “People really liked the beer garden.”

Wine will be added to the beverage garden this year.“We’re incorporating Sombra Antigua, a new winery in

Chamberino,” Albert said. “They’ll have five to six different types of wine available.”

Among the various food vendors – which include every-thing from kettle corn to Thai cuisine – the cooks at Holy Cross Retreat Center will once again sell enchilada plates.

“A big hit last year was the enchilada dinner,” Albert said. “Any time you add food, it’s going to be a big hit.”

Proceeds from the enchilada dinner, the silent auction of items donated by participating artists and some of the beer and wine garden sales will go to the retreat center to support its fa-cility upgrading projects.

“You’re looking at a 100-year-old house,” Albert said. “The rest of the complex is 55 years. We’re always looking to upgrade.”

Hollis said they are in the planning process of adding a new chapel that will serve a larger group of people.

“The retreat center is a place of contemplation and prayer. … We’re always looking to expand at the retreat center,” Albert said. “For the first time, this year we had a youth camp. We had 40 kids here.”

Because the Franciscan Art Festival has become such a pop-ular affair, its hours have been extended this year and will take place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The beer and wine garden will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

“There will be a lot of fun and a lot of laughter taking place,” Albert said.

Some choose a solemn, slow saunter. Others take a brisk pow-er walk. Some bring their whole family to get exercise and have fun. However they choose to complete their laps, teams in the annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Doña Ana County contribute to a greater good.

For 14 straight hours, a rep-resentative from the 45 teams enrolled will walk the baseball diamond track from 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, until 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, around the Ron T. Gallo T-ball Complex.

Most teams have been fun-draising since April and, as of Tuesday, Aug. 20, had raised $15,000, that total growing higher every day.

“We really want everyone to know that the money does go back into Doña Ana County to-ward the research, education and support of fi ghting cancer,” said event chair Alfred Gutierrez.

Gutierrez has had cancer

closely impact his life, and said he has lost several family mem-bers and knows many friends who have lost or survived the fi ght.

For him, planning the Doña Ana County event was just a good way to give back to the community.

“Cancer comes up in every-day life and conversations, wheth-er we know someone who has it or we have it ourselves,” Gutierrez said. “Th is is so much of a worthy cause, and it’s good to be a part of that.”

In its centennial year, the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life now boasts more than four million people in more than 20 countries participating.

It may be recognized through-out the world as an annual event, but the Relay for Life of Doña Ana County is unique in more ways than one.

“I think people here really en-joy the community that come out for it and shows support for one another. It’s unlike any other,” Gutierrez said.

As in years past, the event will start at 6 p.m. Friday, with the

presentation of the colors and the national anthem, followed by the survivors’ lap and the caregivers’ lap.

Th ere will be music and enter-tainment, as well as food vendors, to help root on the participants.

Th e relay would not be the

same without the luminaria cer-emony, which will begin at 9 p.m., when the lights on the baseball fi eld will dim for participants to light a luminaria in honor of a loved one who has lost or survived cancer.

As development continues to fl ourish around Las Cruces’ two acute care hospitals, residents on the other side of town may have been feeling the strain from the lack of health care nearby.

In response to this concern, a grand open-ing ceremony was held Tuesday, Aug. 20, for MountainView Urgent Care, 1455 S. Valley Drive, something MountainView Regional Medical Center CEO Denten Park said was “a long time coming.”

“As we started to look at what we need to do to expand our footprint and meet the needs of our community, one of the things we looked at was this location of town, where it didn’t have nearly as many doctors,” Park said.

MountainView Urgent Care is equipped with seven exam rooms, one triage and one procedure room, as well as a draw room for outpatient services.

100 years of walking together

MountainView Urgent Care opens

“Genetically modifi ed organisms (GMOs) are created when a gene from one species is transferred to another, creating something that would not be found in nature,” according to the defi -nition found on www.organicauthority.com, as well as most other dictionaries.

GMOs are bad, say the health-conscious, food world people. Th ere’s nothing good about them, yet the foods which contain GMOs are unlabeled in America.

Th e government does not require GMO foods to be labeled. What’s wrong with this picture?

Could it be that seed giant Monsanto, based in St. Louis, has con-quered cronyism by sitting on boards with U.S. senators? Or is big money talking and lobbying to congress to reject a bill that would allow states to require labeling of genetically modifi ed foods?

Why not let the consumers make the decision as to whether they buy GMO foods knowingly, as opposed to congress deciding for us? Not only has Monsanto come under fi re in the U.S., but also in offi ces based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In Europe, Australia, Japan, the UK and 24 other countries, GMOs are banned because these countries believe the long-term health eff ects could be disastrous.

In North Dakota, recent studies show 90 percent of wild canola plants contained at least one transgene. In Japan, a specifi c protein drink, before it was recalled, caused mental and meta-bolic damage and several deaths due to GMOs.

GMOs require massive amounts of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Th ese chemicals are poisonous, and run-off in our water supply could potentially be life-threatening.

Who knows how many new health problems will be related to GMOs? Only time and research will tell.

Whole Foods has set 2018 as the deadline – for all products in their U.S. and Canadian stores – that the foods must be labeled if they contain GMOs. Organic standards prohibit the use of GMOs.

Due to cross-contamination and pollen drift , very few products in the U.S. are 100 percent free of GMOs. What can you do as a consumer if you are concerned about your future health?

Chris Rodriguez and Flor Tovar light luminarias in honor of family members who have died from or survived cancer at the 2012 Relay for Life at the Ron T. Gallo T-ball Complex. Devoted participants of the relay walk throughout the night in the annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Members from the community including representatives from the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce, Las Cruces Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, MountainView Regional Medical Center board of directors and Las Cruces City Councillors were present at the grand opening ceremony of MountainView Urgent Care Tuesday, Aug. 20. MountainView CEO Denten Park cut the ribbon.

“We can do their blood draws, chest X-rays, splinting ... it’s all very convenient,” said Manager Kristina Waters.

Waters said the triage area is set up like an emergency de-partment of a hospital, so if any critical patients come in, they are able to be seen.

The clinic can handle most situations, but if anything is beyond their capability, Urgent Care has a contract to ambu-lance critical patients to the emergency room at MountainView Regional Medical Center.

“If we cannot handle them they will be sent to MountainView, but we don’t send anyone away,” Waters said.

“The nurses here have emergency room experience, so they will be able to determine if patients need to go to the emergency room.”

Urgent Care will always have a physician on duty, and will soon welcome two new urgent care specialists to the team.

“This gave us the opportunity to bring doctors to our com-munity who otherwise wouldn’t be here,” Park said.

Drs. Allan Rivera and Catherine Piccio, husband and wife, will move to Las Cruces from their Washington home to take patients at Urgent Care, beginning Oct. 1.

Waters said the strongest asset of the clinic was the conve-nience of care available.

“If this is closer to your home, come here,” she said. “I think I’m most excited for actually reaching out to the west side of Las Cruces. To be able to offer health care in an urgent care set-ting, it’s exciting that people won’t have to travel all the way to MountainView … we’re right here for them. That’s exciting to be a part of that.”

The circular design of the facility supports the idea of effi-ciency and convenience, from the waiting room to patient intake, outpatient services, exam rooms and back around to sign out.

Waters said Urgent Care hopes to soon grow to be able to of-fer other services such as workers’ comp, high school physicals, urine drug screens and more.

On grand opening day, Waters said she had a personal goal of seeing 50 patients, a number she said may be closer to around 20 to 30 on average, but without the influx of ambulances arriv-ing, as with the regular emergency department, patients will be able to be seen with less of a wait time.

The clinic will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

You can choose to purchase organic products and “non-GMO” labeled products.

In an article published in Fortune magazine on June 10, Nina Easton wrote that GMOs were “saving millions of lives in poverty stricken countries.” Maybe temporarily, but how healthy will they be in 10, 20 or 30 years, and who will take care of their medical problems?

As for the U.S., I say let us decide what we choose to eat and whether we knowingly eat GMO foods, by labeling the foods containing them. We are not brain-washed robots being ruled by an elitist, sneaky govern-ment ... or are we?

Laura Smart is an independent health and wellness consultant and can be reached at [email protected].

“I think the luminaria ceremony really brings it all together,” Gutierrez said. “It’s a chance for us to remember and lock arms together.”

For those who would like to attend the Relay for Life and cheer on participants, the event is free and open to the public. There will be opportunities to donate to the American Cancer Society, and a suggested donation of $5 is in place to light a luminaria.

The Doña Ana County Health and Human Services Department and Memorial Medical Center (MMC) have launched an educational aware-ness program to help people live a healthier lifestyle with diabetes.

Nuestra Vida began in January 2013 and is expected to continue un-til February 2014. The initial vision of the pilot program began two years ago, motivated by health “promotoras” in Doña Ana County’s rural communities where diabetics were having trouble finding health-related information on living with diabetes.

According to Doña Ana County Health and Human Services Manager Jamie Michael, Nuestra Vida is a pre-ventive measure intended to reach out to those in need.

“The purpose of this program is to educate the community on health and wellness, which will hopefully prevent them from going to the emergency room for issues that are completely pre-ventable,” Michael said.

The program is designed to educate these communities with right diets,

exercise, change in lifestyle and medi-cine within their means.

“To be able to teach these classes you must be culturally sensitive to un-derstand the community,” said Maria Miranda, RN, diabetic educator at MMC.

Diabetes classes are held once a week at the Vado/Del Cerro Community Resource Center and the Doña Ana Community Resource Center. Classes run for approximately two and a half hours and are open to adults 18 and older who have diabetes, pre-diabetes or suspect they might have the disease.

According to Cruz Saenz, a health promotora with the program, classes are also offered in both English and Spanish.

“It is important to offer an environ-ment where people are comfortable to ask questions in their own language,” Saenz said.

In addition to the health aware-ness classes, people can participate in Zumba, cooking, gardening and trips to the market, where they can learn about healthier food choices.

Program organizers say they have received a positive response from ev-eryone involved.

“The program works because doc-tors are able to give each person the time they need to ask questions and have those questions answered,” health promotora Linda Gallardo said. “The people we serve often tell us they don’t feel they can do that with many practitioners.”

“If we educate the community, then we empower them to be healthy com-munity members. By doing that, we reach all age groups and generations,” Miranda said.

It works like a chain: One person getting educated will take that infor-mation and apply it in their homes. Then, the family will learn and pass the message along at work, school or with friends.

“This program demonstrates it can work. When people have knowledge, they are empowered to change their lives,” Miranda said.

For more information on the Nuestra Vida program, call Jamie Michael with the Doña Ana County Health and Human Services Department at 525-5969.

Are you suffering from:

Th e New Mexico Department of Health an-nounced that an 83-year-old man from Curry County died from West Nile Virus infection.

Th is is the fi rst fatality due to West Nile Virus in New Mexico in 2013. Th e man had encephalitis, the more severe clinical form of the disease, and had been hospitalized. A second case, also from Curry County, was confi rmed in a 66-year-old woman. She had the less se-vere West Nile fever, was not hospitalized and is recovering.

“We extend our sympa-thy to this man’s family and friends,” said Secretary of Health Retta Ward, MPH. “We all need to avoid mos-quito bites as best as possible, especially people older than 60, who are most at risk for developing serious complica-tions from the disease.”

Common West Nile Virus symptoms are fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. In rare cases, West Nile Virus can cause meningitis or en-cephalitis. If someone has these symptoms, they should see their health care provider. People older than 60 are at most risk for serious disease from West Nile Virus.

“Mosquito populations are high throughout the state due to the large amounts of rainfall; and every-one should assume that some of these mosquitoes are carrying West Nile Virus,” said Dr. Paul Ettestad, the department’s public health veterinarian.

To protect yourself from West Nile: Use insect repellent on exposed skin

and clothing when you go outdoors. Th e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

recommends repellents containing DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535 for use on skin, and permethrin for use on clothing. Always follow label directions when using insect repellents.

When weather permits, wear protective clothing such as loose-fi tting, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks.

Th e hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for mosquitoes. Take extra care to use repellent and protective clothing, or avoid outdoor ac-tivities during these times.

Eliminate water-holding containers where mosquitoes lay their eggs, such as old tires, and regularly change the wa-ter in birdbaths, wading pools and pet water bowls. Make sure rain barrels are tightly screened.

Keep windows and doors closed if not screened. If you leave your house doors or win-dows open, make sure they have screens that fi t tightly and have no holes. Also, vaccinate your horses

to protect them from West Nile Virus and Western Equine

Encephalitis, which is also car-ried by mosquitoes.

New Mexico’s fi rst case of West Nile in-fection this year was

in a 13-year-old boy from San Juan County who

has recovered. In 2012, the New Mexico Department of Health identifi ed

47 cases of West Nile Virus infection, including one fatality and 24 with se-

rious disease of the central nervous system.

For more information about West Nile Virus, including fact sheets in English and Spanish, go

to the Department of Health’s website at http://nmhealth.org/ERD/HealthData/west-

nile.shtml.
