Peace day forever

To the Editor:This year, The International Day

of Peace, a.k.a.“Peace Day” is on Friday, Sept. 21. It was first estab-lished in 1981 by a resolution from the United Nations (http://cultureof-peace.org/agencies) with the purpose for all humanity to work in coopera-tion towards worldwide peace.

Since it began, Peace Day has re-minded us to reflect on our personal and global progress towards peace. Peace Day celebrations have grown to include millions of people from all over the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day.

Now you might be thinking, as a whole, humanity, hasn’t gained too much ground in this respect. Just think of all the war and violence still going on in the world today. However, perhaps that is part of the problem…our focus is on all the violence going on ‘out there in the world’ instead of each of us focusing on what we personally can do today to promote peace.

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

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

Here’s one way — participate in our local Peace Day Celebration. When millions of people in all parts of the world come together on the same day, with the same intention for promoting peace, the impact is huge.

Here are some opportunities of how you can help with your local Peace Day Celebration:• Attend one of our planning

meetings, which are open to the public on Mondays @ 3:30 at the Ruidoso Public Library

• Join the Peace Choir that will be performing on Peace Day, call Lou Ann at 808-8133.

• If you are an individual musi-cian or member of a band, poet, dancer or artist of any age, call 937-2725 to schedule your performance or demonstration of your art on Peace Day.

• Plan to participate in Peace Day activities: morning peace medi-tation, walk in the peace parade, more activities TBA.

• Clubs, Churches, local organiza-tions and businesses can sponsor refreshments, advertising, or miscellaneous expenses needed for the celebration, or sponsor prizes for a poetry/art contest

• Teachers can incorporate peace activities in their lesson plan-ning.This is our chance to do our part

in ushering in a more peaceful world. Remember to mark your calendar for Sept. 21.

Let us have a massive and joy-ous celebration. Together, we can make it happen.

May we all think, speak and act peaceful now.

Records will crumble during Tour de RuidosoBy Eugene Heathman

One couldn’t ask for better fall weather conditions for the Sixth An-nual Tour de Ruidoso road cycling event. According to Michelle Griffing Thurston, organizer of the event and board member of Bicycle Ruidoso said, “Last year, a record 250 riders registered for the combined 100 mile century competition, the 100k (62 miles) or the flat out 20 mile sprint to be held Sept. 22. Last year Gilberto Porras from EL Paso shattered the

century, 100-mile course record with a time of 4 hours, 52 minutes.”

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

The challenge began with a climb from an altitude of 6,840 ft. to 7,485 ft., a downhill segment and a climb back to 7,482 ft. and then dropping back down to 7,257 ft. during the grueling first 6 miles. The route then descends from the evergreen forest into the Chihuahuan Desert, winding

into Capitan. The Century riders climb to the Capitan Gap.

From Capitan, the route continued east, then south to Fort Stanton with a climb up the mesa then passing the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport. Open country and magnificent views in addition to near perfect weather conditions guided the riders back to Highway 48 and into Ruidoso for the finish line. The beautiful scenery will amaze you as you tour through history. Geronimo’s Apaches roamed these hills. Black Jack Pershing and the Buf-falo Soldiers served at Fort Stan-ton. This is the heart of Billy the Kid country. The Lincoln County War was fought in this area and you may still see a stagecoach crossing the mountains near you where Smokey Bear was born and buried.

New Mexico author reveals her experiences with aliens in ‘Fear of “Speaking the Unspeakable”’

In 1998, I settled in the ghost town of White Oaks, New Mexico, located on the western end of the Capitan Mountains in Lincoln County. There I met people who talked of mythical giants who had once lived there, of hidden treasure and other ancient civilizations.

I believe we humans carry all his-tory in our memory buried deep. I also believe that our planet Earth is a living history book. If we look deep enough and long enough and ask enough questions, we will be shown the answers.

As far back as I can remember, I have communi-cated telepathical-ly with what I call “shadow people.” As a fi ve-year-old, my father and I visited the UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. What a surprise for me to fi nd a replica of one of my little people friends behind a glass case, and lots of aluminum-like objects lying in the case along with the little alien. I was told about the UFO crash near Roswell and that there were little aliens inside the ship, but no one wanted to believe there was the pos-sibility of other beings in the universe besides the people on Earth.

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

Fear of “Speaking the Unspeakable” (ISBN: 978-1-61897-996-4) is available at the discounted pre-release price of $32.97 and can be ordered through the publisher’s web-site: sbpra.com/WillaLeeAdkins.

About the author: Since her retire-ment, Willa Lee Adkins has been writing this book to give others the courage to tell their stories. She hopes Fear of “Speaking the Unspeakable” will bring acceptance that we are not alone and that “they are here to help us.”

During the months of August and Septem-ber I usually add the “race of truth,” a time trial to my bicycling once a week on Tuesday morning. Animal sight-ings are part of what I look forward to during all of my rides with deer being the most prolifi c followed by groups of four or fewer elk and the rare herd of elk which seems to be becoming less and less prevalent. Once I surprised a dumpster diving bear as I rode by to school years ago. Fortunately it was not interested in a live meal.

Recently during my after-dawn, 40-minute warm-up which meanders through Carrizozo Canyon, I was passed by a full sized pickup just before the last canyon cattle guard and it stopped about 50 yards up the road. I needed to stop in about the same location to adjust a mis-aligned brake. As I passed the truck, the driver quietly said there was a bear near the river. I looked through the tall brush and saw nothing and promptly focused on adjusting my front brake.

I was about done when the truck pulled alongside as the passenger indicated that what they saw was a “mama bear and her three cubs” and they were not too far behind me beside the guard rail. This time I saw a dark creature moving without stealth through the vegetation then climbing over the railing less than 40 feet from me as the gentlemen advised me to be careful and drove away.

This was a rare sight for me as I counted the triplets following out of the

brush to cross the road with their mama. I was mesmerized as the adult casually crossed the road with her offspring following. I perceived the maternal power as she lumbered across the road and gave me a con-stant, sideways glance that put me in my fragile place. Remounting, I pedaled away look-ing back to be sure of mama’s benevolence.

My warm-up had been accelerated as I turned the cranks for the next 20 minutes preparing for the three mile timed hill climb to just over the top of Apache Summit. I came to milepost 255 signifying the start and sighted the American fl ag on the left ruffl ing slightly, indicating a slight head-breeze of minimal infl uence. I then calculated the three gear shift points on the way up and fi nalized the ratio to minimize wasted seconds in continual shifting. My legs had to adapt to the window of stress placed upon them.

My heartbeat increased with anticipation of the start and for a brief moment the sighting just 20 min-utes earlier infi ltrated my psyche and somehow I perceived that the next three miles would provide a similar adrenalin infusion that would possibly propel me to an outstanding performance. I needed 839 seconds of total concentration, a rare absolute, to accomplish a best time which is becoming increasingly chal-lenging as I mature.

I started my analog timer and within two hundred yards had perceived the physical and mental rhythm needed to produce a personal best.

Latest technology in aesthetic medicineThe Palomar IconT Aesthetic System is the next

generation in Laser and Optimized Light Technol-ogy providing the most popular aesthetic treatments such as laser skin resurfacing, laser wrinkle reduction, laser scar and stretch mark treatment, permanent hair reduction, vessel and pigment clearance and leg vein clearance - produced by Palomar Medical Technolo-gies, Inc. of Burlington, Mass. is a leading researcher and developer of lasers and light systems for aesthetic treatments since 1991.

The motto of the Palomar Medical Technologies is: From Light Comes Beauty™ and according to the Palomar “Many dermatological and cosmetic skin conditions can be improved with fractional laser skin resurfacing ... that uses microbeams to create areas of treated tissue surrounded by untreated tissue, which provides faster healing and reduced side effects.” Palomar invented and patented micro-fractional laser technology for the treatment of wrinkles, acne and surgical scars, melasma, unwanted textural irregulari-ties, crow’s feet, blotchy skin and more, on virtually any trouble spot on the body - face, neck, chest, arms, legs. Treatments using the Icon Laser Aesthetic System include:

Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing: A simple treatment approach that promotes skin coagulation without requiring costly preparation and cleanup, yet delivers excellent aesthetic results with minimal redness or swelling.

Fractional Ablative Skin Resurfacing: Deep skin resurfacing that lets you control ablation depths for single-procedure outcomes that get people back to their regular activity in as little as two days. The results rival those of fractional CO2

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

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

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

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

As a pioneer of fractional technology, Palomar is an owner of fundamental intellectual property in this area. In December 2009, Palomar received the first United States Food and Drug Administration clearance for the treatment of stretch marks using a fractional non-ablative laser. In September 2010, Palomar re-ceived the first FDA clearance for a fractional ablative and fractional non-ablative combination treatment. There are now millions of laser and light-based aes-thetic procedures performed around the world every year in physician offices and clinics”.

Boosting your metabolism after 25Courtesy of Ruidoso Physical Therapy Clinic

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

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

• The No. 1 fat fighter is exercise. Being active burns calories – 200 or more an hour during brisk walking, for instance. However, exercise revs up our metabolic rate, not only during the activ-

ity itself but for hours afterward. “An active skinny person burns 600 calories more each day than a sedentary one,” says Dr. Gabe Mirkin, associate clinical profes-sor at Georgetown University School of Medicine

• Exercising helps maintain bone strength, enhances heart and lung function, improves skin tone and helps the body absorb nutrients no matter how old you are when you start exercising. People over 40 who exercise can score higher than the average 20-year-old on aerobic endurance. “Ninety-nine percent of us are below our poten-tial, so we can practically reverse the aging process and become better as the years go by,” says Dr. Richard Stein, director of the Exercise Laboratory at the State University of New York Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn.

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

Leadership training for managers“Management is about human be-

ings.” — Peter F. DruckerNow that you are in charge, are you

shocked to learn that all the rules have changed? Command and control has been replaced by contradiction and chaos. Employees are not told what to do any-more. Now, you influence their choices and assist them in reaching goals. You do not direct; you win the team over to your point of view. You do not dictate; you inspire. The business world has changed. Management was about pushing people to succeed. Leadership is about pulling people along to succeed. You require a new skill set to make it to the top in a “pull” environment.

This course teaches how to stop managing and start leading, making you a vital part or your organization’s future. The days of assuming that a good manager was also a good leader are gone. Clear distinctions are being made between the two. Learn the differences between managing and leading and then begin gravitating toward a more direct leadership style and away from a management-based style. Stop pushing and start pulling. Hear that sound? It is

the sound of a business paradigm shift-ing yet again. Register yourself for suc-cess. Leadership Training for Managers will transform you from yesterday’s manager to tomorrow’s leader. You’ll learn to: • Create a vision – a common ground • Develop strategies that make things

happen • Take intelligent risks • Influence people to follow you • Gain cooperation at every level • Lead a winning team, department or

organization • Empower others to deliver results

“I can’t say enough about what this process has done for our company… We gained the ability to ensure that we were all pursuing common goals. To have the entire organization aligned be-hind our chairman’s vision is powerful and results in outstanding rewards for our employees and our shareholders,” said Tony Giordano, senior vice presi-dent for material services.

USdA helps build a secure energy future

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

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

Hockaday explains the high demand for solar energy.

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

Hockaday worked at the Los Alamos Natural Laboratory for

15 years. He has a Mas-ter’s degree in Mechani-cal Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics. Hockaday also has 20 issued patents and three pending pat-ents on various energy systems.

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

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

Weekly classes will start Sept. 25 and will end Dec. 4. Classes will be held on Tuesdays at the Wind Center. Interested students should contact 575-461-4413, ext. 156, or toll-free at 800-261-4877.

By Terry BrunnerState director, USdA Rural development

In June 2011, the Obama Admin-istration an-nounced a set of new initiatives designed to modernize the Nation’s electric infrastructure, bolster electric-

grid innovation, and advance a clean energy economy.

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

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

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

ties efficiently manage power generation and delivery.” Since fiscal year 2011, USDA has funded more than $250 million in smart grid projects serving rural consumers nationwide. This will further enable rural utilities to make efficiency improvements to the electric grid that will help consumers lower their electric bills by reducing energy use in homes and businesses.

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

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

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

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

Wind Center expands to solar energy


In the quest for a healthy lifestyle, we often think of the physical aspects and frequently overlook the other contributing factors to our over-all health. There are actually seven dimen-sions that make up our wellbeing, including spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, and occupational and of course the physical components.

In my personal quest for health, I have found that fi nding peace in all these areas is benefi cial to my happiness. Here are a few of my thoughts:

Physical – (diet and exercise) I can fi nd peace in the piece of brownie I just devoured by making sure to eat healthier at my next meal and drink some extra water to help break it down.

Emotional – (understanding ourselves, coping) I can forgive my-self for any mistakes I have made as life does not come with instructions and I can only fi gure it out as I go along. Hopefully I now know better for next time.

Occupational – I can support my fellow co-workers by acknowl-edging their contributions, not so much worrying about our dif-ferences.

Environ-mental – (re-sponsibility to take care of our envi-ronment) If I reuse my water bottle, take my own shopping bags, or bring my cup to the coffee shop; I have allowed less waste to consume the

planet that I share with six billion other people.

Spiritual – (peace and harmony) If I selfl essly con-tribute to the hap-piness of a stranger or contribute to my community, I can be sure that I will fi nd peace and harmony.

Intellectual – (open mindedness) I realize I don’t

know everything, so I can continue to grow by learning; which can be done by reading, and by listening to others as everyone has ideas that can be valued.

Social – (relation/connection to others) I can choose to not get upset at others, as we can calmly and peacefully communicate our needs.

Peace always begins within and as we work on ourselves, other will take notice and perhaps want to fol-low. I encourage you to invite peace into your life and take a moment of silence at 12 - 12:01 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21 in honor of International Peace Day where our fellow man-kind will be inviting peace into their lives as well.

It is through peace that we can eliminate countless amounts of suf-fering and bring our soldiers home.

Finding peace for happiness

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

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

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

Leading the meeting will be New Mexico Public Regulation Commis-sioner Jason Marks, Chair of the Public Utility Commissioners’ EIM Group (PUC EIM). As chair, Marks works with fellow utility commissioners, Western Interstate Energy Board staff, industry representatives and others on developing robust cost-benefit analyses and other prerequisites for the adoption of Western EIM.

Today in the West, 37 separate balancing authorities work separately to manage imbalances between scheduled electric generation and fluctuating real-time electric demand. An EIM would eliminate this duplication by balancing electricity across the broader region and

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

Research sponsored by the PUC EIM group indicates an EIM could result in net benefits to consumers in excess of $100 million per year shared across the West, including New Mexico. The market being studied would be limited to reducing the cost of within-the-hour energy imbalances. It would be explicitly restricted from becoming a full-fledged “restructured” market for all electricity of that type proposed for New Mexico but abandoned after the California energy crisis of 2000-01.

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

Hunters remember: Safety firstAs hunting season gets under way,

hunters should remember firearm safety must be their primary concern.

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

To stay safe, hunters should memo-rize these four safety rules and always follow them: Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Horseplay is never safe. Control the muzzle of your firearm. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and

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

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

Throughout the hunting season, of-ficers will be checking hunters for viola-tions. To report a wildlife-law or safety violation, call 800-432-GAME (4263). Callers can remain anonymous.
