Mescalero Apache Elderly Center and closed Ski Run Road Tuesday. · Trees were toppled in Ruidoso, metal roofing and signs flew through the air and power went out for two hours to a large swatch of the village along Sudderth Drive up to D Street, including the Ruidoso News building.

Mescalero President Carleton Naiche-Palmer said that about 8:30 a.m., the strong wind dam­aged the elderly center, exposing

"With the lobby wide open, if the wind got under the roof, it could lift it," he said.

Naiche-Palmer decided to shut down the administration offices in Mescalero, because of possible dan~ ger if the west wall was breached, and asked everyone in portable buildings to leave.

·"I'm also worried about all of the mobile homes and the portable buildings. (Rescue and fire crews) are standing by, just in case," he said. ije was searching for a shel­ter to accommodate families whose homes may be damaged by the wind.

The peak wind gust at Ruidoso's Sierra Blanca Regional Airport reached 77 miles per hour at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday, said Kerry Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in New Mexico.

A strong front delivered the blasts, described by the weather service as "dangerously high winds." To enforce the strength of the front, Jones said there was some lightning Tuesday morning north of Ruidoso.

"The winds were pretty wl.de­spread, with the brunt for. apput four hotU"s."

Power problems were also wide­spread, with some expected to linger.

"We had outages in Alto, Winter Park, Sun Valley, Eagle Creek and north of Capitan because of high winds and trees in power lines," said Clint Gardner, the manager of member services for Otero County Electric Cooperative. "But it is our southern district, the Cloudcroft side, that saw massive outages."

Mescalero also saw a number of electric interruptions for members of the electric cooperative.

"We're still working," Gardner said Tuesday afternoon. Crews from some other coops in New Mexico were called in to assist in restoring power. The utility asked

He became a colorful fix­ture at County Commission meetings, videotaping the pro­ceedings and expounding tor huffing, some would say1 at length on laws, regulations, threatrs. philosophies and the resol u/te righteousness of the individual.

He was a throwback, a man out of time, politically incor­rect, railing. against the tide and standing on unyielding historical principles: however one felt about him, we need more such involved citizens.

Read your local history, and you'll likely find that one of the first establishments in town was a saloon, often in a tent.

Today our Sibleys, Murphys, and Dudleys include business­men, politicians, priests enter­tainers and athletes. When yet another study tells us about the cost of alcohol abuse (993 lives and nearly $2.5 billion in lost productivity, medical expenses and property loss in 2006, according to the state Health Department), it still doesn't measure the muddled thinking and poor decisions that have . played out in personal or finan­cial disasters.

UNM historian Jake Spidle once wrote, "The tradition of lib­eral alcohol use is part of the warp and woof of this nation's history ... It's only slightly hyperbolic to suggest that the founding fathers defied the British, fought the revolution, established the republic, and began the taming of the wilder­ness while lc;Jaded." A friend once warned Thomas Jefferson that we were becoming "a nation of s.ots."

The war against alcohol abuse and DWI is very slow be­cause alcohol itself is as well established in our state as bind­weed. But many of the remedies are working - ignition inter­locks, toll-free reporting of drunk drivers, education of alco­hol servers, police road blocks, and commercials.

Death of a devoted servant To the editor:

THE RESIDENTS of Lincoln County have just lost a devoted servant, not a paid employee but someone who took it upon him­self tD be the watchdog of all of· our rights and interests. Jerry

· Carroll could be inflammatory at best when he wanted to be, but he was also . very well-read and educated and made every effort to hold the county and state offi- . cia1s accountable· . for their actions.

To his credit, he devoted a tremendous amount of time and energy to assure that our rights were protected and that the deci­sions that were made were done in our best interest.

For me Jerry was a mentor and a friend and I admired his devotion to the things that he believed in, it is a rare quality in people these days. I didn't always agree with him but all the same I followed his lead when it came to getting involved in local issues,

Overlooked solutions to healthcare reform To the editor:

YES, HEALTHCARE reform is needed. But the method our pres­ident and Congress are proposing is definitely preposterous. To examine and vote on one docu­ment consisting of 3,000 pages, covering many different complex issues, is ludicrous at best. If one was in business conducting this method of examination for deci­sion-making, heJshe would soon be out of business.

The major components, such as Medicare fraud, should be pri­oritized and individually exam­ined, discussed, corrected and voted upon prior to continuing with other health care factors.

Of course, tort refonn is a major factor affecting health care malpractice insurance costs and is not even considered in the pro­posed bill. Both New Mexico sen­ators are lawyers, in addition to the high number of Congress­men/women. With the high num-

. ber oflawyers and legal lobbyists 1 representing and contributing to

our legislators, tort refonn legis­lation is remote.

The legislators are definitely looking out for themselves, not U.S. citizens. Tort refonn would realize more than $50 billion in healthcare savings. ·

Congress should consider the following health care recommen­dations in separate bills:

• Tort Reform establish real­istic limits on medical liability claims. ·

• Free up and eliminate inter­state restrictions on health care

' insurance companies. More com­petition will lower premiums si.nrilar to auto insurance.

• Establish prpcedurea to pre­vent Medicare and Medicaid

fraud. • Establish fair guidelines for

health insurance companies. Congress approved the stimu­

lus bill with members admittedly not having read the one thousand plus pages. It is now going to increase our proposed national debt from the original $7 trillion to $9 trillion. If the health care bill, as it now stands, is approved and a second stimulus plan is activated, this debt in ten years could very well be twelve trillion dollars. Our next generation grandchildren are going to pay for this in incomprehensible pro­portions.

At this rate, bankruptcy is a matter of when, not if. The US Government already owes China over 1.3 trillion dollars. If China decides to pull the plug on the USA, we are in real trouble.

It was amusing to read and hear that only the top five per­cent ofhigh income wage owners will receive tax increases. If the energy bill is approved, the pro­posed hefty tax increase on gaso­line, electricity, natural gas etc. will hurt the poor and middle class the most. Are these citizens · in the top 5 percent? Rumor has it the administration is consider­ing an income tax hike for the middle class also. Sadly, this will be a necessity. Even a federal sales tax is now being seriously considered. . ,

. We have to wak~ up to thelact that we can not g~.ve everyohe a perfect sh~e of the pie. Out of the so-called 4 7 million unin­sured health qare individuals, 25 million do not want or . need healthcare insurance and .10· plus million are illegal immi­grants. That leave.s 12 million

needing health care, which they already receive through state and U.S. government indigent healthcare programs.

The government's misleading and questionable statements on economic and health care issues must be corrected.

What do critics want? To the editor:

IT DISCOURAGES and upsets me that the debate over health care refonn has become so nega­tive. I fear that nothing may come of the reform effort and nothing will change. It seems that this is what a lot of the crit­ics want, because few of them offer their own suggestions for stopping the out of control increases in health care costs.

If no improvements are made, health care costs will continue to rise much faster than incomes and more people won't be able to afford health care and many of those who can may not be able to afford much else. Is that ·what these critics want?

111 admit to being a social lib­eral but I am a fiscal· conserva­tive. I do care about the ever ris­ing hl!alti). care costs and I care about the large budget deficit that already exists. Health care needs to be reformed but I think it needs to be designed so it will reduce health care costs and not add to the national deficit.

Tax junk food, not baby food fRED NATHAN

Think Neu• Mexico ·

.ALLEN SANCHEZ .

NM Conference Catholic Bishops

he Greater Albuquerque Chamber of

Commerce (GACC) recent­ly proposed that New Mexico reimpose the tax on food. If the GACC wants to raise taxes, a wiser strategy would be a targeted tax on junk food, rather than making neces­sities like fruits, vegeta­bles and baby food more expensive for New Mexico families.

Governor Richardson and the Legislature thank­fully abolished the food tax beginning in 2005. The tax had been enacted in 1933, as part of a "temporary'' and "emergency'' measure. But the food tax long out­lasted the emergency of the Great Depression. In fact, between 1933 and 2005, it more than doubled from its original rate of 2.5 percent.

In 1958, 41 states taxed food. Since then, however, the states have moved steadily toward exempting food from tax. By the time New Mexico repealed its food tax, only seven states still fully taxed the sale of . grocenes.

Today, that number has dwindled to only two: Alabama and Mississippi.

The trend toward repealing the taX on food has been accelerated in part by the recognition that the food tax is a weak foundation on which to base essential government services. This is because food tax revenue grows so much more slowly than state and local government spending.

In the decade before the repeal, for example, rev­·enue from the food tax grew at only a .1. 7 percent annual rate, according to the Taxation and Revenue Department, while state and local government spending grew at a rate of ~bout 5 percent during the same period.

In addition, the food tax

is an extremely regressive tax because those who are least able to afford it bear the greatest burden.

The GACC argues that reimposing the food tax would not harm the poor hecause they receive food stamps. However, although the food stamp program has been around for nearly half a century, only 62 percent of eligible

A'rMAN KOSTENDENOUS for tbt Ruidoso Ntws

. . . I arrived at Ja.ke Ross's

house at 9:57 thinking that I was a little early and I might have a few minutes to compose my thoughts. I stepped up the stairs and stood thinking to myself for a few seconds about what questions I would ask. I had time to rap on the door once, · and Jake opened it with a big smile on his face.

I was a little surprised that he had opened it so quickly, but he smiled and said · that I was right on

· time. As I entered I had a feeling of welcome and friendship, as well as a feel­ing of love that permeated the atmosphere. I felt at home, though I was rather nervous about interviewing Jake. I think that he felt illy nervousness, and tried to alleviate it with his big, warm; and friendly smile.

The reason I wanted to interview Jake was that I l)ad heard that he was a flying Tiger pilot from ~orld War II. I had read a iittle about them, though

Jake led me to the living rQom where he had me sit on a comfortable couch though I ended up sitting on the edge of it because what Jake told me was so intriguing. I looked around and noticed about thirty Kachina dolls lining the walls.

Following my gaze, Jake told me that he handmade each of them and that they each represents a different deity. Over the chair where. Jake sat were two very .. large · and very well done Kachina carvings. He told me that they are guardian Kachinas and . that they protect the house, and its inhabitants.

He went on to expound upon that by telling me that at first his wife, Betty, was not intrigued with the idea of having these mon­strous wood · carvings (approximately two and a half feet by three and a half feet) in the house. Where

were they going to go? Jake solved this problem easily by m~unting them high em a living-room wall where lhey would be out of the w~y.

I asked "Is it all right if we just dive right into the

. questions?" "Sure, go right ahead,"

Jake responded. I felt like a bumbling

fool, but his reassuring smile alleviated this a bit, and so I plunge haltingly ahead ..

"I've heard that you were a part of the Flying Tigers, so I was wondering jf you would mind telling me about your experi­ences."

"Sure, I don't mind." "What's the event that

sticks out most in. your memory of your time in the . Flying Tigers?" . "This is well document­ed in several books: I went into a village in China, where a B-25 had gone down and five pilots were dead. I took five other planes with me because our planes only carried one stretcher each. The

Ruidoso High School's Recovery Class has started a senrice program called "Give Back Friday," where students select a charity or special person to honor.

For Thanksgiving, the class picked the Nest, the area's domestic violence shelter.

The students collected several food items to donate for the shelter's Thanksgiving meal.

Chinese villagers had set up two large tents around the pilots,· and brought the pilots ,in· and performed a ceremony called 'The Honored Dead.' We took the bodies of the airmen back with us. Tha~ was the policy back then, to return the body back to American soil, if and whenever possi­ble.

"The other . event being when a flight group of mine and I were · headed to Japan, and we had to make a layover at a Japanese air­base. The war was over by then, by the Japanese sur­render, but I was still wor" ried that this base might not have been informed yet. We had to stop for fuel because we· didn't have enough to reach Japan.

We were island-hop­ping. I wasn't even sure if their fuel would work in our planes. When we got there, a young officer came running up, and I told him that we needed fuel for our planes. Well, he didn't speak any English, so through a series of hand

· gestures, and slow speak-

ing, I thought l had man­aged to get my point across.

He ran off, and a few minutes. later, an early for­ties flatbed Ford came bar­reling out toward us with about ten or so armed sol­diers. They jumped out of their truck and surroUnded our planes. Apparently he thought that I wanted guards for our planes.

A few minutes later, a motorcycle with a sidecar came screaming out toward us with a Japanese Colonel in the sidecar. This man spoke better English than I did! Well, by then my bud­dies and I ha!l thought 'let's make them surrender to us!' so I told the colonel 'We're here to accept your surrender.' After that, we had a full ceremony, where they · turned over their katanas to us, and every­thing. My s0n in Houston still has it over his mantle."

"Did you ever shoot · down any Japanese

planes?" I ask. · "No, but there. were some hairy situations where I feared for my life."

"What did you do after

· · "Well, the first thing I did ...;as to return to college. . I like to say that my claim to fame is that l graduated in. the same class as Doke Walker, though in actuality, we were good friends. After that, I owned and operated my own newspaper for twenty-three years."

"I was also the National Chairman for . the Boy Scouts of America twenty­three years. For the last seven years of that, I was also the liaison to the President of the US, and to Congress. The Boy Scouts were one of only three orga­nizations that Congress founded."

Jake still helps the Boy Scouts in many ways, and is still a very active mem­ber.

''Ye:>, that I have, that I have."

PNM provides electric utility service to about 500,000 retail customers in New Mexico, including Ruidoso and some other areas of Lincoln County.

Other holiday lighting tips offered included:

• To maximize holiday lighting savings, use timers to limit light displays to no more than six evening hours a day. Leaving lights on 24 hours a day will quadruple your energy costs, and create four times the pollution.

• While sprucing up or

decorating your home for holiday entertaining, con­sider switching out tradi­tional light bulbs in your home for compact fluores­cent bulbs. Replacing just 10 bulbs could shave as much as $41 off annual energy bills. PNM-spon­sored rebates for CFLS are available at a variety of local retailers.

Visit PNM.com/rebates to learn more about P,NM energy-saving programs. PNM is a subsidiary of PNM Resources, an energy holding company based in Albuquerque, N.M.

· Construction financing of a renovated regional wastewater treatment plant for Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs was a key factor in an award that went to the New Mexico Environment Department.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has delivered the 2009 PISCES award for its five-state region that includes New Mexico.

PISCES (Performance and Innovation in Creating Environmental Success) awards are given for using innovative and effective ways to improve water quality protections through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund CCWSRF)

the

ple of smooth coorJination between state and federal funding agencies."

Stimulus funding through the EPA and· the U.S. Agriculture Depart• ment's Rural Development Water and Environmental Program delivered grants and loans for the project.

The financing involved stimulus fund grants for Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs totaling $6.1 mil~ lion. USDA Rural Develop• ment funding added up to $9.7 million. State capital outlay grants came to $1 million and state Environ­ment Department CWSRF loans totaled $200,000. Borrowing by Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs, and some " earlier appropriations, completed the estimated $35 million dollar cost of the new plant.

Karen Gallegos, director of the Water ann Waste~ water Infrastructure Dev­elopment Division in the Environment Department, recently accepted the award on behalf of the department at a national. meeting of the Council of Infrastructure Financing Authorities held in Seattle'.

review these lists because it could be one of their rela­tives, friends or neighbors they know and could help in finding the rightful own-ers."

The Department is required under the law to take these advertisements each year in newspapers from the town where the property owner had his or her last known address. The property owners' list-

ings are also posted on the Department Web site at www. tax.state.nm. us.

The department staff is holding close to $170 mil­·Hon in cash, jewelry and other items representing over 90,000 owners. The state holds the property forever, or until the rightful owner claims it. The law requires that every holder of unclaimed property turn the property over to the state after there has been no activity for a specific period of ti~e. . The

_-. . -, ' .' '

. Department has also been running the advertise~

ments in smaller newspa­pers across New Mexico this week.

The property, or money, might have come from .util­ity or insurance companies, or banks. The state also holds refund checks, stock certificates, bond payments and unclaimed wages. Some of the most interest­ing unclaimed property is jewelry, old coins, Confed­erate currency, and other collector items that are

.. '

abandoned in safety deposit boxes.

In addition, undeliver­able checks from Personal Income Tax refunds or rebates are turned over to the Taxation and Revenue Department 13 months after issuance.

For further information, and to check for unclaimed property, please visit the state's Web site, www­.tax.state.nm.us, or call our office at 505-827-0668 or 0767.

SERVING THE EN'ERGY NEEDS OF • \ • -\1' •

TH.E RURA·L WEST WITH RELIABLE, ' . . .

AFFORDABLE AND RESPONSIBLE . .

ELECTRICITY. •

•

The energy challenges facing people and industries across the West are, in many ways. as unique

as the landscape. As .a power supplier to electric cooperatives serving the rural West, Tri-State is

positioned to address these challenges while continuing to meet the growing energy needs of those

who live and work here. Tri-State is leading' the way to provide reliable, affordable and responsible

. electricity to the_ cooperatives and co(llmunities they serve. •

•

DIVERSIFYING WITH RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Cooperatives are developing the diverse renewable

resources found throughout the West. Currently, 13 percent

of Tri-State's energy comes from renewable resources­

one part of a balanced energy solution. In 2009, Tri-State

and its member cooperatives launched both large-scale

and community-based renewable energy projects.

On a large scale, the Cimarron I Project, a 30-megawatt,

500.000-panel solar photovoltaic power plant. one of the

largest in the world, is scheduled to be fully operational

in northeastern New Mexico by December 2010. While

capturing the sun in the southwest, Tri-State will also be

harnessing the wind on the plains. In 2010, power will

come online from the new Kit Carson Windpower Project,

a 51-megawatt facility in eastern Colorado.

Cooperatives have a unique and important role in spreading

the benefits of renewable energy across the diverse rural

communities they serve. A "one-size-fits-all" approach

doesn't work in the rural West, so Tri-State developed a

renewable energy incentive program that supports a wide

range of community-based projects. Co-ops are quickly

developing their locally-available resources, helping

bring new energy jobs to their communities. These

include innovative heat recovery projects <with Highline

Electric Association, Holyoke, Colo. and La Plata Electric

Association, Durango, Colo.), distributed solar projects

<with United Power, Brighton, Colo. and Kit Carson Electric

Cooperative, Taos, N.M.l, and hydroelectric projects (with

San Miguel Power Association, Nucla, Colo. and Empire

Electric Association, Cortez, Colo.>. Other opportunities,

including wind, biomass and landfill methane recovery

projects, are also under consideration.

INVESTING IN NEW TECHNOLOGY

Tri-State understands it's going to take innovation and

fresh thinking to navigate the road ahead, particularly

as policymakers address the regulation of greenhouse

gases. To keep electricity affordable and reliabje, coal­

based generation serves an 1mportant role. Therefore

it's essential to accelerate technology research and

demonstration concerning the management of greenhouse

gases. While energy and environmental challenges won't

be solved overnight. co-ops are advancing technologies

to allow Tri-State to continue to produce and deliver the

electricity necessary to thrive in the West.

In 2009, Tri-State developed a comprehensive Greenhouse

Gas Management Roadmap, a multi-faceted approach to

managing emissions. Along with other utilities across

the country, Tri-State participates in several promising

carbon dioxide capture demonstration projects, as well as

collaborating in a major carbon sequestration assessment

near its coal-based power plant in northwest Colorado. Tri­

State is also hosting. the Electric Power Research Institute

study in New Mexico to develop a hybrid power plant

system~augmenting coal-based power·with concentrated

solar power.

Developing new technologies takes time, but with

necessary investment and ing·enuity it is achievable. '

consumers also have an important role to play.

Tri-State is committed to help1ng consumers use energy

eff1c1ently to ensure electrJcJty rema1ns affordable

and reliable.

Tri-State recogn1zes that one of the most s1gn1ficant

opportunities for energy efficiency starts w1th existing

facilities, where the association has taken numerous

steps to identify and pursue 1mproved efficiencies within . its power plants and transmission system. Tri-State IS

also promot1ng demand-side programs that meet the

unique needs of rural consumers and businesses. These

efforts make the entire system more efficient, productive

and sustainable.

2010 will mark 25 years of Trt-State's Energy Efficiency

Credits program, which helps energy consumers, local

governments and industry use power more wisely. In

2009, Tri-State teamed up with ENERGY STAR® to make

it easier for consumers to identify and receive household

appliance rebates from Tri-State and its members.

Working with several local school districts, Tri-State

provided financial incentives to help install ultra-efficient

geothermal heating and cooling systems. That money, and

the money saved on long-term energy costs, goes back into

the classrooms.

In November 2008, 75 families participated m

·food bank program in its first stop in Carrizozo. · · HostRd by the churches

of Canizozo. the program · one year later is handling

food boxes for 240 famihes . • The success of the pro-

gram comes at a time when econorrucs are gl\1ng no one a break. and the elderly, low-income and single-par­ent families have needs far surpassing their income.

Directed bv Barbara . Bradley. pastor of the Camzozo Assembly of ODd Church. the · program, in her words, has brought a community together to work to help others.

''They work together so beautifully to make this program as success," she said. "It is one of the great­est things to see. Every denomination, every walk of life, they come. to help. More than 50 people come to help dispense the food every month."

When the truck arrives, it first must be unloaded. The produce is then sorted and divided into bags and finally, the pickup of food boxes can begin.

to travel to Carrizozo. Th(' food bank services

families in Carrizozo, NogaL Oscuro, Coyote,

· White Oaks, Corona. Ll.U1a and others.

TWo-thirds of the num­bers served are seniors and the medium income for the families receiving food boxes is $500/month.

"We've never turned· anyone away," Bradley said. "We manage to find something for anyone that shows up unexpectedly."

The food deliveries are monthly, but the Carrizozo Food Bank will have a sec­ond delivery of food in Carri~ozo on Dec. 15, in time ffir the holidays.

The Food Bank hosts a number· of fundraisers throughout the year to help buy food boxes. A 50-pound box of food costs $2.50, so a little money goes a long way in feeding those in need.

Currently the Food Bank is selling poinsettias for $6 each for fundraiser. Bradley said they started with 100 plants and they still have 15 left to sell. To buy a poinsettia, call Bradley at 648-3025.

To add to the service already in place, a food pantry will be opened in January at the Assembly of God church.

We are suppose to get a new furnace as the one now presently in the house is more than 20 years old. It seems when we open the gatage door it blows out the pilot light.
