Ruidoso honors veterans with second annual R&R in Ruidoso Street Party

Ruidoso will once again celebrate our nation’s active and retired military with the second An-nual R&R in Ruidoso Street Party Saturday, Nov. 10. With a wide variety of activities planned, members of the military and their families will be able to enjoy a respite in the mountains and enjoy discounts offered by local hotels, shops and restaurants.

“This is such an incredible event, and it is truly an honor for our community to be able to show our ap-preciation to active and retired military for all they have done and continue to do to preserve our country and our freedoms,” said Lynn Crawford, Vil-lage Councilor and Chairman of the Military 365 Committee. “Last year’s event was a huge success, and we anticipate that this year’s event will be even bigger and better.”

The weekend will kick off Sat-urday morning at 10:15 a.m. with the 5K and 10K Service Challenge Trail Run/Walk which will start at Wingfi eld Park and fi nish at the intersection of Sudderth and Grindstone at 11 a.m. where Mayor Ray Alborn will open the street party. Interested participants should contact the Parks and Recre-ation Department at 257-5030.

After a presentation of the Colors, and recognition of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Vietnam Veterans of America,

the fi rst of eight bands will take to the First National Bank Stage and The Lodge at Si-erra Blanca Stage and begin four hours of live music. The bands will perform a wide variety of music in-cluding rock, country, blues and oldies.

Partygoers will also get to partici-pate in the Taste of Ruidoso, which will feature more than a dozen local restaurants offering food items for $1. The Beer/Wine Garden, one of last year’s favorite attractions, will also

be back offering a great selection of micro-brews from Sierra Blanca Brew-ery. In addition, Tularosa Vineyards will be serving a variety of wines.

There will also be family activities available throughout the day includ-ing a putting green sponsored by The Links, the D Lazy 2 Kidz Korral Train, a skateboard park, the Seeping Springs Casting Pond, archery, disc golf, bounce houses and face painting.

In an effort to show apprecia-tion to the military and their families, many local lodging establishments are offering very special rates to members of the military including The Lodge at Sierra Blanca, Arrowhead Motel & RV Park, Cozy Cabins, Motel 6, Village Lodge, Quality Inn & Suites, Rainbow Lakes Cabin & RV Resort and La Quinta. For more information on these offers, please visit www.RuidosoMili-taryDiscounts.com.

Ruidoso website off ers aff ordable military vacationBy Sandi Aguilar

Though fi nal plans for the R&R Weekend in Ruidoso Nov. 9-11 are currently the focus of village tourism efforts, the village of Ruidoso also invites the military tourist to come visit year-round. Appointed by the mayor, Military 365 is a group of interested citizens charged with promotion to the surrounding military bases and providing offers for them to visit Ruidoso. One of those endeavors is the RuidosoMili-taryDiscounts.com website. Intended only for the military and their families, this site lists more than 50 lodging, dining and retail establishments offering 15 to 50 percent discounts exclusively to military fami-lies. The troops only need to show their active or re-tired military identifi cation to participating businesses.

“The ongoing Military 365 promotion is for the military to know about how to spend free time in Ruidoso,” says Ruidoso Tourism Director Gina Kelley. Each base has a MWR (morale, welfare and

recreation) department that provides information on the leisure services available to the troops – a much needed relief from the extreme sacrifi ce and service each provides.

The site has been up more than three years and is intended to provide an affordable option for the mili-tary families in leisure activities. Says Kelley, “The business response has been strong.” She admits, how-ever, the biggest problem is that the owner or man-ager provides the discount but does not appropriately inform the rest of the employees about the procedure. There have been a handful of occasions in which the discount was not provided because the employee was unaware of the offer. The business is at risk of being dropped from the RuidosoMilitaryDiscounts.com website if the discount is not honored. The website is continually updated and is free to companies offering a 15 percent or greater discount to the military.

Other efforts from Military 365 are advertising on the base in the gym, bowling alley and in the MWR offi ces. The results have been very lucrative for Ruidoso businesses. According to Kelley, the village

took in $600,000 in room revenue, equating to more than 7,200 room nights last year. These were only the calculations from the military retreats primarily of family groups coming in for pre- and post- deploy-ment programs. Individual military families coming in for the weekend or an event cannot be tracked. These family deployment programs are scheduled for several days off-site and provide classes on how to adjust to the major life changes accompanying service. “This initiative is self-funding,” says Kel-ley of the $42,000 lodger’s tax budget for marketing exclusively to the military.

The biggest single tourism military endeavor currently is the R&R in Ruidoso weekend of music, food and events available to the military and civil-ians. Held over Veteran’s Day weekend, Sudderth road in Midtown Ruidoso is shut off to vehicles and has two stages of performers, $1 food booths, vendors, jumping balloons, skatepark and other activities. “While we are all geared up for the R&R weekend, there is something for the military to do in beautiful Ruidoso year-round,” says Kelley. For more information and how to be listed on the Ruido-soMilitaryDiscounts.com website or other military programs, contact Gina Kelley at 575-257-7395, [email protected].

October 15 - 20 is National Drug-Free Work Week

Of the 19.9 million current illicit drug users aged 18 or older, 65.7 per-cent were employed. Of the 18.9 mil-lion adults classified with substance dependence or abuse, over 58 percent were employed fulltime (2011 Nation-al Survey on Drug Use and Health).

This yearly public awareness campaign highlights the importance of a drug free workplace and encourages workers with alcohol and drug prob-lems to seek help. This year’s theme is “Drugs Don’t Work”!

It focuses on the community busi-nesses, because research shows that there are high rates of worker alcohol

and drug abuse. A serious concern given that substance abuse causes high rates of workplace accidents and in-juries. Drug-free workplace programs benefit all workplaces, employers and employees in all industries. The

Community Drug Coalition of Lea County encourages all businesses in Lea County to take part in National Drug-Free Work Week. The CDC offers services free of charge to assist employers in conducting Drug-Free Workplace activities, presentations or providing materials. Contact the CDC at 391-1301 or by email at [email protected].

Culinary Adventures with Perry ChampionThe glory of the fall seasonIt is the season of the harvest.The time of year when we stock

our freezers (and even root cellars) with the bounty of the earth. From apples to zucchini we are loading the larder for the long winter ahead.

Imagine how many centuries that man has completed this ritual.

This process is about survival during the most arduous season of the year – winter. What fun to pickle or freeze vegetables, can fruit, dry onions and leeks, bag piñon nuts, maybe even fi nd a mushroom or two to dehydrate, smoke and store, harvest meat-wild game-deer, elk, turkey. This process surely gives you hope for what is about to come – the winter.

But what about the other seasons?I love the spring and summer. But

fall is the season I enjoy the most. A late sunrise, an early sunset and some calm. Crisp days and cool lovely nights, we might even contemplate a fi re in the fi replace at night to warm the cabin and then scramble for one on that chilly following morning. That is sweet fun. Those small sticks of wood popping in the fi replace and the smell of that dried juniper wood burning (cut last fall) bring us chilly cheer. It is really morning bliss if you add some hot cocoa and cooked thick cut smoky bacon and a home baked biscuit.

And what would a fall story be without a pumpkin recipe?

This week’s recipe:

Doctor Champion’sPumpkin Scones

These scones are perfect for fall.My dad is somewhat

of an expert baker, having worked his way through medical school in a bak-ery in Seattle.

It goes like this:Prep and cook time: about 45 minutesYield: 6 SconesIngredients:2.5 cups all-purpose fl our1/4 cup packed brown

sugar1 tablespoon baking powder3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup butter- cut into chunks3/4 cup canned pumpkin1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk1 egg yolk1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Directions:1. In a bowl, mix fl our, brown sugar,

baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt. Add 1/2 cup butter and with a pastry blender cut until pea-size crumbs form.

2. In a small bowl, whisk pumpkin and 1/2 cup of milk until well blended. Add to fl our mixture and stir until dough is evenly moist-ened.

3. Scrape onto a lightly fl oured board turn over to coat, and gently knead until dough comes together. Pat dough into 6” rounds about 1 1/2 inches thick.

4. Separate wedges and place on a lightly buttered baking sheet. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk and one tablespoon milk to blend; brush lightly over the tops of the scones. In another small bowl mix granu-lated sugar and remaining cinna-mon; sprinkle over the scones.

5. Bake at 375 degrees until scones are golden brown about 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve with warm honey.

A G E L E S S M E D I C I N EMy dermatologist is better than yoursDr. Stephen RathFusion Medical Center, Ruidoso

My dermatologist is better than yours. You can insert whatever medi-cal specialty you like into the sentence. Mine is better! Sound like something you’d hear on the playground? Sure. My 5-year-old daughter started kindergarten in August and we are already starting to hear similar phrases. But, unlike most things you hear on the playground, my doctor really is better. How do I know? I checked!

Medicine has evolved consider-ably since you visited your barber to remove a skin lesion. My grandfather, Albert Rath Sr, graduated from medi-cal school in 1939, did a one-year internship, and opened his medical practice as a General Practitioner (GP). By the time my father, Albert Rath Jr, graduated from medical school in 1970, the majority of physi-cians were entering residency training after internship and “specializing”. At the time of my graduation, the U.S. military was the only route to take if one wanted to enter practice without residency specialization. To the best of my knowledge, all services now require specialty training within a few years of completion of internship.

Sound involved? It is. Most physicians have a minimum of 24 years of education prior to entering unsupervised practice. Twelve years of primary education (13 if you count kindergarten), four years of under-graduate studies, four years of medi-cal school, and three to seven years of residency. Sub-specialties require additional years of fellowship train-ing. The end result: a physician that is board-eligible, or has permission to sit for specialty boards to verify that enough information stuck during the years of education.

After you pass your written, and for some specialties, oral boards you

can legally advertise that you are board certifi ed. The extra initials after M.D. or DO are usu-ally shorthand for the board specialty. Board certifi ed anesthesiolo-gist? D.A.B.A. Board certifi ed family practi-tioner? F.A.A.F.P. Board certifi ed dermatologist? F.A.A.D.

How did I check to see if my dermatologist was board certifi ed? www.docboard.org/nm/ is the website for the organization many state medical boards have contracted for credentials verifi ca-tion. Substitute /TX instead of /NM if your doc practices in Texas. Enter the physician’s name and discover where they trained as well as their specialty. Most state medical boards don’t verify board certifi cation, so that requires a trip to www.abms.org, the American Board of Medical Special-ties site and a short login (anyone can create an account in about a minute). Osteopathic physicians have their own boards and are the easiest to fi nd at www.osteopathic.org/osteopathic-health/fi nd-a-do.

Still have questions? Find out if your doc has hospital privileges. State medical boards only act when they receive a complaint while the local medical community does a good job of policing their own if the physician has hospital privileges. Joan Pelkey, Medical Staff Affairs Manager at Lincoln County Medical Center does an excellent job of keeping the physi-cians straight and is a good resource in Lincoln County.

Disclaimer: Dr Stephen Rath, M.D., DABA is a board certifi ed anesthe-siologist as well as the owner and medical director of Fusion Medical Spa located in Ruidoso. He is not an expert on medical education, but he will be happy to recount the trials and tribulations he has encountered during his 24 years of education.

The three of us had been on the road since before dawn with the goal of seeing the sunset on the Pacifi c Ocean so we could watch the road cycling (one of which was the inaugural women’s race) of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. We were all on iconic machines of the early 1980s: Scott on his Honda CX500 transverse V-twin, Mark on his Harley-Davidson RT in-line V-twin, and me on my BMW R100 fl at twin. Three bikes, three interpre-tations of the traveling motorcycle, and three countries represented.

It was about noon when we rode into Tucson, Ariz., stopped for fuel and prepared for possible rain. Mark and I rarely ride other owner’s bike but we trusted each other’s caution-ary behavior. Scott, on the other hand (bike), was a different story. He was on his fi rst cross-country trip on his fi rst motorcycle. And he was to be a Ruidoso High School senior and varsity wrestler the up-coming fall. We had to take care of this boy.

Mark had allowed that he wanted to try the beemer and I had always wanted to ride a Harley and after reading that Sonny Barger (founder of the Hell’s Angels motor-cycle club) rode an RT, I wanted to experience the American ride of America’s most notorious motorcy-clist. After about 100 miles of non-interstate meandering, a gas stop with comparison notes was in order.

We got to ride through some rain and experience the Arizona heat during the short run, but two com-ments, one from each of us, stand out in my fading memory. To this day I remember the muffl ed sound of Mark’s big twin and felt it com-forting. I remember how rightly positioned the controls were placed compared to an FLH (Harley Electra Glide) I had ridden with my father-in-law the previous year. I remember feeling the power emitting from the engine as it pulled me down the

highway. I also remember the fairing being the best I’d been behind; it parted the hot air decisively creating a comfortable riding environment.

I also remember what I said to Mark when we traded back: “The only difference between this motor-cycle and the Barco Lounger in my living room is that the television is all-around you.” Robert Pirsig (“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Main-tenance” (1974)) would have been proud.

Mark, much taller than my 6’ 1” frame, thought for a moment as if to spare my feelings. He didn’t want to say anything negative about an icon-ic German bike and I encouraged his honest opinion. I waited with abated breath as he softly stated, “It feels like a large bicycle.” I wasn’t offended. The bike was actually too small for him but it was fi ne for me. As was his fi ne for him.

As for Scott, the youngster, he said it best by not asking to ride our bikes. Instead, we all rode on and witnessed the sun setting on the Pacifi c and during the calm of the diminishing rays he said simply and wisely beyond his years, “I have what I need.”

Gluten-free life-styles are a growing trend. There are several reasons for this lifestyle choice as we see wheat allergies and Celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine) become more common. Sci-entists and healthcare professionals do not understand these issues enough to pinpoint the actual problems associ-ated with these disor-ders, so many recommend staying away from foods that contain gluten such as wheat, barley, and rye, while differing opinions may even suggest to minimize the consumption of oats. Other products the gluten-free seeker may want to stay away from are items that contain hydrolyzed proteins and processed meats such as hot dogs and lunchmeat. Beer, mustard, catsup, “natural fl avorings”, non-dairy cream-ers and certain vinegars also make the “do not consume” list.

Gluten fi lled products are a staple to many of our diets, as many of us enjoy breads, pasta and cereals which contain fl ours fi lled with wheat, rye, barley, semolina, spelt and durum wheat. Many gluten-free alternatives are out there, including rice, coconut and Quinoa fl ours, but don’t forget the power of the produce isle as several types of pasta can be created using squash.

Here are a few pasta ideas that even the diabetic can enjoy:

Spaghetti squash - Slice squash

in half and scrape out seeds (they can be baked, just like pumpkin seeds), then bake in oven for forty minutes. Use a fork to scrape out contents of the squash which will have a spaghetti noo-dle like texture. Mix with your favorite spaghetti ingredients, cooked as directed and serve.

Zucchini lasagna - Thinly slice zucchini

using a knife or potato peeler. Add your favorite lasagna ingredients and layer accordingly. Bake as usual and serve.

Alien squash (Pattypan squash) - Peel outer layer with a potato peeler, then slice into chunks, discarding seeds and sauté it in olive oil with minced garlic, fresh basil and toma-toes adding a little sea salt to taste.

For the sweet tooth, here is a deli-cious gluten-free cookie recipe:Preset oven to 350° F. Grease a cookie sheet with organic coconut oilDry ingredients:1/2 cup organic coconut fl our (or

gluten-free fl our of choice)1/2 tsp. sea salt1 tsp. baking powder (healthy kind -

no aluminum)Mix together well in food processor or blender:1 can organic garbanzos (rinsed)1/2 cup organic vanilla almond milk1/2 tsp. Bragg’s apple cider vinegar2 tsp. ground organic fl ax seeds2 Tbsp. organic vanilla 1 tsp. organic almond extract 3/4 cup organic sugarFold the dry mix into this blended wet mix with the blades running on low. Pulse in:1/2 cup Dagoba organic chocolate

chipsSpoon out onto cookie sheet and shape the cookies, then bake at 350° F for 22 minutes.

The event is part of “Paint the Town Pink,” a community wide effort to raise awareness about breast cancer and solicit donations for the Chaves County Cancer Fund (CCCF). CCCF provides fi nancial assistance to local cancer patients, who need help covering

expenses, like rent, car payments and utilities while undergoing treatment.

The cost is $20 per running/walk-ing participant and includes a T-shirt and goodie bag while quantities last. Additional donation levels are avail-able: Platinum ($500+), Gold ($200), Silver ($100), and Bronze ($50). For registration forms or additional infor-mation, contact Robin Reedy at [email protected] or at 575-308-3263 or Mellissa Luna at 575-910-6004.

Horseshoe pitching for lifeBy Milu Abel

“I have pitched all of my life,” said Dorothy Payne a 90-year-old Lincoln County resident. “I pitched horse shoes out at the ranch; it was our form of entertainment.” Starting to seriously compete in 1987 at the County and State level, then eventu-ally moving up in such competitions as the National Horse Shoe Pitchin’ in New York and the Senior Olympics in the late 90s, Payne has won numer-ous gold medals, along with winning fi rst place in New York representing Lincoln County.

“I pitched against the Japanese

and the Canadians, you name it and I always took fi rst place,” said Payne. “I love to compete and with tossing horse shoes I won all of the time.” The components that she thought had the best technique were the New Yorkers and the Canadians. “Everybody has their own way of tossing the horse shoe; you just have to fi gure out what are the best techniques for you.”

Today Payne stays busy by gather-ing cans that careless people toss, walking several miles a day. Whether by picking up cans or throwing horse shoes, I hope I am this proactive when I am 90 years old.

Holloman aircraft changes, transfers on holdHOLLOMAN AIR FORCE

BASE – The scheduled transfer of F-22 Raptors from Holloman AFB to Tyndall AFB, Fla. and corresponding transfer of F-16 Fighting Falcons from Luke AFB, Ariz. to Holloman will be delayed due to an ongoing freeze on Air Force structure changes, including aircraft transfers.

The Fiscal Year 2013 Continuing Resolution (CR) [HJ Res 117] under which the Department of Defense is currently operating expressly prohib-its aircraft retirements, divestitures, realignments or transfers that result in

changes to force structure that would be permanent or irreversible. Addition-ally, in congressional testimony earlier this year, the Secretary of the Air Force committed to wait for congressional deliberations before taking any action that would presume approval of pro-posed FY13 force structure changes.

Aircraft and personnel assigned to the 7th Fighter Squadron at Holloman were scheduled to move to Tyndall in spring 2013, and two F-16 training squadrons from Luke were planned to move to Holloman shortly thereaf-ter. Despite the freeze, the 49th Wing

continues to plan and prepare for this mission change.

“Let me emphasize that although this mission change has been delayed, it has not been canceled,” said Colonel Andrew Croft, 49th Wing commander. “We are actively preparing for the arrival of the F-16s, and, in the mean-time, F-22s will continue to fl y at Hol-loman and remain ready for worldwide deployment anytime, anywhere.”

Croft is committed to minimizing the impact this delay will have on Hol-loman Airmen and their families.

“I’m asking our Airmen to remain fl exible and understanding of the com-plex budgetary situation our nation is facing,” he said.

At this time it is unknown when the aircraft transfers will occur, but the Air Force will not be able to make force-wide restructuring decisions until a fi nal defense appropriation and authorization bill is passed. Because of the size and complexity of these movements, the Air Force is planning to synchronize these transfers after the lifting of the CR in a way that will optimize combat capability and mini-mize disruption to Airmen and their families.

Contact 49th Wing Public Affairs at 575-572-5406 or 49FW.PAOffi [email protected] with questions or visit www.holloman.af.mil for more information.

Orange Nights Art Show applications still being acceptedBy Lisa Maue ENMU-Ruidoso

The Little Bear Fire raged less than four months ago. Grass is sprouting in some burn scar areas, the ski area is readying for the upcoming ski season and burned structures are being razed and resurrected. Un-derlying the rebuilding there are unresolved feelings and a need to express the experience for many people, some of whom were only peripherally affected.

I am one of those people. I live on Ski Run Road, and, during that afternoon when the fi re blew up, I watched smoke billowing just northwest of my house. The column was moving toward Villa Madonna and Sun Valley. My immediate attention was drawn to those who lived in its path, even as online weather projections suggested a possible shift in winds to the west, potentially moving the orange glow closer to my home. In my heart, I knew my property would be safe, but, faced with something this massive, I felt impotent and helpless. When the evacuation call came in just after midnight, I was ready to leave with my cat in the carrier and insurance papers in hand.

I spent a week in exile, receiving updates via cell-phone from friends and over the Internet through sites devoted to the fi re and Facebook. When the “all-clear” sign was sounded, I rushed home. Firefi ghters had conducted a back burn from a dozed line a couple of hundred feet to the north while I was gone. My house was just as I left it.

The horror of the total destruction that so many experienced consumed me, yet I found myself re-

counting my own relatively insignifi -cant close call to anyone who would listen. I still do. Clearly, catharsis for me is incomplete and on-going, even though I lost nothing.

I do not consider myself an artist. I dabble, and I enjoy working with my hands. It is natural for me to look outside myself and to use concrete materials to express nebu-lous thoughts. My yard is littered with stuff I’ve collected, re-used and refurbished. My husband jokes that, when we decide to leave, the fi rst thing that will be done by whoever buys our place will be to rent a roll-over so they can chuck all of my “creations.” He’s right, but it does not deter me from scouring thrift stores and dumpsters for material for future projects, including this one.

Since the fi re, I’ve been dabbling. I’m not sure that what I’m working on now will be ready for the show. I hope so, not because it will bring me money; I don’t intend to sell it. I have no illusions of gran-deur; I am, and always will be, an amateur. I’m not even convinced in my heart that it will be any good. I continue to dabble to try and make sense of that afternoon when I watched the smoke overhead. There will be other times when I am at the mercy of forces that I cannot control, but, hopefully, like now, I will have the ability to make

sense of complex and confl icting feelings with my hands and share those feelings through my “creations” through avenues like Orange Nights.

Applications for visual and performance art are being accepted. This is not a juried show. Works need not be done by professional artists; any expression will be considered. This is an event for the entire com-munity and sponsored by ENMU-Ruidoso. Artwork will be hung Oct. 31 and a reception will take place on Nov. 17 at White Mountain Annex. Artists who have would like to participate and have not applied are asked to contact ENMU-Ruidoso Community Educa-tion at 257-3012 as soon as possible so space can be assigned to all the pieces.
