New Mexico continues to

benefit from increased tour-

ism in both the number of

visitors and their spending.

Our state’s remarkably unique

tourism assets combined with

our award-winning “New

Mexico True” campaign have

created a successful industry

and an economic engine for

the state. Adventures steeped

in authenticity are becoming

a hallmark for New Mexico’s

tourism reputation. It is truly

an exciting time for tour-

ism and its economic impact

especially for Southern New

Mexico.I have the distinct pleasure

in my day to day responsibili-

ties with Heritage Hotels &

Resorts and as a state tourism

commissioner, to see the

amazing developments that

are positioning our state and

our region for continuing

growth as a result of tourism.

2020 will be an exciting time

with all of the opportunities

that are in front of us.

There are several reasons

to be excited about tourism

and its opportunities for us in

2020. Initially, I am encour-

aged about the leadership

that we have on the state and

local level for tourism. It be-

gins with Governor Michelle

Lujan Grisham who has

shown considerable commit-

ment to the growth of tour-

ism for our state. Governor

Lujan Grisham’s commitment

was best demonstrated by her

signing into law and creating

the new Department of Out-

door Recreation.

This new department

championed by many local

legislative leaders will work

hand in hand with the tour-

ism department to enhance

its opportunities throughout

the state. Once created, the

governor brought on the

talented and experienced,

Axie Navas, as its first direc-

tor. She brings tremendous

experience through her ef-

forts with Outdoor Magazine.

I would also like to acknowl-

edge State Senator Jeff Stein-

born for his leadership on

a local level for recognizing

the significance of outdoor

recreation and the economic

impact of maximizing those

resources.

And finally, acknowledging

and applauding our Cabinet

Secretary of Tourism Jen Paul

Schroer. Her leadership and

creativity will continue to en-

hance the previous efforts of

former tourism cabinet secre-

taries. She served previously

as the Executive Director of

the New Mexico Hospitality

Association which gives her

a unique perspective on the

needs of communities and

business leaders for success-

ful tourism growth.

On August 28, 2019,

Las Cruces hosted the first

Regional Listening Tour

which is the first phase of

the Destination Develop-

ment Roadmap. This new

program implemented by

Cabinet Secretary Schroer

and conducted by the Corag-

gio Group will inventory all

of the state’s tourism assets

and opportunities will result

in a comprehensive tourism

improvement plan.

Secondly, the recent

announcement about the

re-designation of our White

Sands National Park has cre-

ated a lot of excitement and

enthusiasm. The elevation of

a national monument into a

national park creates an even

more valuable tourism asset

for the state, but in particular,

for Southern New Mexico.

The National Defense Au-

thorization Act (NDAA) cre-

ated the 62nd national park.

White Sands National Park is

now the second national park

in New Mexico joining Carls-

bad Caverns National Park.

With this facility already

being one of the top tour-

ist destinations in the state,

we can expect even more

visitors who will value the

national park designation.

The increased attention will

undoubtedly drive more

tourism to Southern New

Mexico benefiting many of

the businesses of Alamogor-

do, Las Cruces and the sur-

rounding areas.

We are grateful for the

leadership who ushered in

this exciting new opportunity

for us. A big congratula-

tions to the members of the

New Mexico congressional

delegation, especially Sen.

Martin Heinrich and Rep.

Xochitl Torres Small for

their hard work to make this

happen. Tourism Secretary Jen

Paul Schroer commented,“Last year, over 600,000

people visited White Sands,

making it one of our most

popular attractions here in

New Mexico. In 2018, New

Mexico outperformed the

national average for visits

to state and national parks,

demonstrating how our

National Parks inspire travel.

With the new designation of

White Sands as a National

Park, New Mexico will be

able to take the marketing

and promotion of our out-

door adventure experiences

to new heights.”

And finally, we all remain

enthusiastic about the up-

coming and history-making

first launch from Virgin

Galactic. This long and

dedicated journey should

Doña Ana County‘Your Partner in Progress’

Doña Ana County envisions a strong 2020 Throughout 2019, Doña Ana County laid the foundation to seed a stronger busi-ness environment and better quality of life. The multimillion-dollar upgrades to the Doña Ana County International Jetport, along with the first purpose-built commercial facility in Spaceport America contin-ue to shape the future of business development in the aviation and aerospace indus-

tries for the region. Financially, the county strengthened internal controls leading Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings (S&P) to upgrade the county’s revenue bonds rating to ‘AA,’ a designation just below the highest possi-ble issuer credit rating assigned. After we de-livered seven consecu-tive clean audits, Doña Ana County garnered the New Mexico Asso-ciation of Counties (NMAC) Audit and Ac-countability award. We successfully adminis-tered the New Mexico

Department of Homeland Security Asylum Seeker Grant for $250,000, addressing the needs of thousands of refugees. The Health and Human Services (HHS) department leads the way in supporting our community to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance abuse. In response to the opioid epidemic, we instituted an overdose pre-vention program that has reduced the number of prescription opioid overdose-related deaths. The team hosted more than 4,100 classes and activities while track-ing more than 48,899 resident encounters at the community centers, an estimated increase of 10,000 compared to 2018. Additionally, HHS conducted 17 Mental Health First Aid classes, certifying 200 people, including the community’s first instructors for veterans. The Office of the Flood Commission signed an agreement to design a dam for the Village of Hatch. The Engineering Services department proactively garnered

funding from federal grants along with a $10 million county investment for roads to significantly improve our infrastructure, including the completion of the Baylor Canyon and Dripping Springs projects. A subsequent project for Soledad Canyon is underway. Fire and Emergency Services consolidated 16 fire stations into four districts and improved Insurance Services Office (ISO) ratings to a class 5 rating, thus potential-ly lowering home insurance rates. The department also began 24/7 operations in the Doña Ana and Anthony stations, serving thousands of people in the region. And a concerted effort almost doubled the firefighter force to 350 volunteers. This momentum will continue into 2020, as projects slated for completion in-clude the Doña Ana County International Jetport main runway reconstruction and the East Mesa Flood Control Project, comprised of three detention ponds. Several community centers will get upgrades this year. The Betty McKnight, Doña Ana and Radium Springs Community Centers will receive a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit, a new roof, new exterior stucco, ADA upgrades and a security camera system installed. The Doña Ana Baseball Park will get two new play structures to replace exist-ing ones. The infield will be completely resurfaced. Meanwhile, Berino Park will get a new play structure installed while Casas Lindas will get a new barrier in-stalled around the park. And Doña Ana’s fire station will get a addition to the ex-isting structure. Together, the Doña Ana County staff, elected officials, community partners and These roadside swales along Longhorn Road, on the

East Mesa were designed by Engineering to help with flooding. PHOTO: LUCE RUBIO, Doña Ana County.

But Steve Braithwaite has to be the first “banananaut” to traverse the Land of En-chantment.

He hit the Las Cruces area recently

while driving his home-built Big Banana Car on his “The World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour.”

And when he says “Big Ba-nana Car,” the description is 100 percent accurate.

He finished building the car in 2011, and he kicked off the tour in April 2018 from the Santa Monica Pier in California.

“I’d built a lot of hot rods,” Braithwaite said. “But this time I wanted to try something ‘com-pletely different,’ as they would say on Monty Python.”

And when he says it as they would say on Monty Python, he means it, with the same British accent as the Python troupe.

“I grew up in Woodstock, near Oxford, England,” he said. “But I’ve lived in the U.S. for 33 years now.”

But why a banana?

In line at a convenience store, waiting to pay, Braithwaite spied a basket of fruit, contain-ing a long banana. He picked it up, began imagining where seats and wheels would go, and started laughing. He then real-ized he had not moved as the line in front of him disappeared, and the line behind him was pil-ing up.

“Oh, sorry,” he said to the crowd, who must have been looking askance.

With the idea in place, he began looking for the right vehicle to turn into the Big Ba-nana Car.

“I knew I wanted it to have four seats in a row,” he said. “And there were only two vehi-

cles with a frame wide enough and long enough. And this 1993 Ford F-150 had two gas tanks that were inside the frame.”

The design was based on a real banana. Braithwaite sliced the banana into segments, traced the segments, projected the segments and enlarged them to create a wood frame. He put rebar around the wood, wrapped the frame in chicken wire, and then sprayed urethane foam. Then he carved the foam into a banana shape, wrapped it in Fiberglass and, of course, had it painted bright yellow.

“I worked mostly on Sun-days,” said Braithwaite, who built the car in Pennsylvania.

It’s in the Guinness Book of

World Records as the world’s largest motorized banana.

Braithwaite had a sign business in Michigan, and he worked for many years doing aerial photography. His source of income now?

“Selling rides in the banana car,” he said with a shrug.

“In the summer, I go to the local ice cream parlor with the biggest parking lot, put the time out on Facebook, and start giving rides, mostly to children.”

As he travels the country, he bypasses motels and goes “couch surfing” with friends he’s met over the years, which is

New Mexico is no

stranger to astronauts.

how he landed in Mesilla in late December.

He also gets many sur-prising donations, such as the water pump B&G Automotive put in the ba-nana car.

“I asked them how much and they said, ‘No charge.’”

I can’t believe how peo-ple just give me free stuff. There’s no reason at all for it. I don’t deserve any of that.”

And then it struck him. The idea came with a soundtrack of the laughter and the giggles he hears behind him when driving kids around.

“A parent sent me a note that said, ‘Our child is 10. And once he saw your Banana Car, that’s all he talked about for a week.

“I was naïve, I guess,” Braithwaite said. “I didn’t expect the reaction I get from kids. It’s just magi-cal. That I built a car that has that effect is amazing to me.”

His idea is to pay the magic forward.

“I want to find children who are sick or hurt, and who don’t have health insurance, and do what I can.”

He’s also doing a chil-dren’s book, currently being illustrated. Here’s

one of the true stories from the book.

“In West Virginia, I was at a red light,” Braithwaite said. “When It turned green, I turned, and I looked in the rearview mirror and here was a police officer, passing the other cars behind me and pulling me over. He got out of the car, came up to me and said, “The reason I

stopped you is, at that light back there, when it turned green, you peeled out.”

McGraw posed an inter-esting question. If a cowboy herds a herd of cattle, we call him a herder. If a sheepman herds a flock of sheep, he’s still a herder. Why isn’t he called a flocker?

Oley has al-ways referred to him-self as a cow disturber. I think that is an ac-curate description of what cowboys do. The definition of disturb is: to annoy or disrupt.

“Where ya goin’, Bill?”

“I’m gonna go check the cows.” Which re-ally means, “I’m gonna ride into the bunch, git’em all up, turn’em around and just gener-ally annoy and disrupt them.”

I grant there are oc-casions when we have a certain definite task in mind, i.e., “I’m gonna bring in that cow with the arrow in her side.” Or, “Saddle up, we’re pushin’ 2600 head of Longhorns to the sale barn in Bloomfield.”

But most of the time

we’re just dis-turbing them. Like doting par-ents or cat fanci-ers, we take any excuse to fuss over the critters in our care. It’s a wonder white-tail deer or jack-rabbits aren’t

extinct with no one to molest them regularly.

If we were honest with ourselves, our language would be more forthright. The cattle foreman in the feedlot might give his instructions like this: “Jason, I want you to enter the first pen in the north alley. Un-settle the steers by sitting quietly for a moment. Next, upset them by approaching. Confuse them by weav-ing back and forth, agitating and irritat-ing them constantly. Badger each one until they’ve all gotten up and milled around. Once you’re convinced you’ve stirred them up sufficiently, you may go disturb the next pen.”

Or, the cowman might say to his wife, “Darlin’, while I’m at

the board meeting, I’d like you to torment the heifer in the barn lot every 20 minutes. She’s trying’ to calve. Peek over the fence and bother her. Shine the light in her eyes to break her concentra-tion. Worry her as often as needed, and when I get back, I’ll slip in and frighten her into calv-ing.”

In fairness, we are doing what all good shepherds do. We watch over our flocks because that is our calling. We stand guard in case any should need our help. But if truth-in-labeling is ever applied to our job descriptions, we will have to be more specific about what we do.

So, the next time somebody asks what you do, try one of these on for size: herd rear-ranger, bull nudger, sheep panicker, mule cusser, equine per-plexer, steer beautician, hog motivator, Holstein therapist, cow com-panion, dog shouter or cowboy coddler.

BANANACONTINUED FROM 6

8 | FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 OPINION LAS CRUCES BULLETIN

The costs of former Super-intendent Greg Ewing’s mis-management of the Las Cruces Public Schools keep mounting.

It was con-firmed last week that the school district has reached a $350,000 settlement in the law-suit filed by Elizabeth Marrufo, a 30-year em-ployee of the school dis-trict who had been the director of its Human Resources Department.

That comes on top of a $250,000 settle-ment paid to former Head Start program fa-cilitator Lilliam Duran, bringing the total thus far to $600,000, with

more lawsuits working their way through the system.

Legal settle-ments are often the least expen-sive remedy for bad behavior by high-ranking

officials, but they are incredibly frustrating, because we never get a full airing of the evi-dence.

Those responsible for causing the lawsuits are never forced to admit their mistakes and change their behavior.

The more typical re-action is to blame the state agency – in this case the New Mexico Public Schools Insur-ance Authority – that

reviewed the case and decided to settle.

Ewing resolved the problem for the school district by resigning on his own, but to this day, the school board has not acknowledged that there ever was a prob-lem.

Perhaps that’s un-derstandable, given how recently they had awarded him a salary increase and contract extension. But those unwilling to admit mis-takes are often doomed to repeat them.

Meanwhile, the law-suits against the district keep coming.

Jo Galvan Nash, for-mer communications director for the district, filed a lawsuit in late

December, with allega-tions that are remark-ably similar to those leveled by Marrufo.

Both were longtime employees of the dis-trict, who were well liked and respected. Marrufo alleges that Ewing got angry and retaliated against her when she refused to go along with his plan to illegally fire district em-ployees.

Galvan alleges that Ewing got angry and retaliated against her when she refused to block legal requests for public records.

I don’t know specifi-cally which public re-cords he attempted to block, and we will likely never find out if there’s

another settlement. But I do know that multiple requests for documents showing the number of employees placed on administrative leave under Ewing were im-properly denied.

I don’t know Marrufo or any of the other for-mer employees suing the district, but I do know Galvan Nash a little bit, as she was the district employee who dealt most frequently with the press.

From what I know, she would not have turned a blind eye to blatant violations of the Open Records Act.

The daughter of for-mer Judge Joe Galvan, she always took those requests seriously.

Beyond just the open records requests, I al-ways thought Galvan handled the job of press officer as well as any-body with whom I’ve come in contact in a similar position over several decades of re-porting.

She was the public voice of the school district through some

pretty turbulent times, and she was always able to present issues in the best light possible, with-out altering the facts.

She was trusted by the reporters who cov-ered the school district, and that is not always the case, especially in times of controversy.

I suspect that the school district will be poorer for the loss of both women, and not just monetarily.

On that front, there are other lawsuits still to be dealt with. Kathy Norris, a retired teacher and principal, and Jamie Vance, also a former principal, both have lawsuits pending against the district. And Tina Gonzalez, a former executive assistant, has taken the necessary steps toward filing a lawsuit.

My hope is that at least one case will go to trial. But my fear is that all will be settled and then forgotten.

New MexicoTime is the least

thing we have of.— Ernest

HemingwayThis quote on

a poster inside a cubicle at the Las Cruces Bulletin pretty much re-flects my decision to retire again. Time is our most precious re-source. Spend it wisely.

In May 2011, at age 65, I walked out the back door of the Ruidoso News, where I had been editor for seven years, into the refreshing mountain scent of retirement.

I didn’t care whether I would ever write pro-fessionally again. I had made it through the cor-porate world of journal-ism and, frankly, that was never a given.

Five years later, I’m liv-ing in Las Cruces with a renewed enthusiasm for the craft, freelancing for the Bulletin, when the front door opens to the editor’s chair in Decem-ber 2016.

What a blessing. In the process, I found commu-nity, lifetime friendships, a ton of interesting things to do in this town and a reason to drive into the crimson sunrise Monday through Friday – and sometimes Saturday and Sunday. I thank Osteen Publishing Company, Bulletin publisher Rich-ard Coltharp and you for allowing me to be of service.

ArizonaAt 2 in the morning in

the fall of 1969 an Ameri-can Indian appeared from the edge of the desert and knocked on the glass door

of radio station KMND AM/FM, Mesa, Arizona.

I was the night caretaker, for $2 an hour, fresh out of Arizona State University, where I had majored in radio/television.

Of course, I let the gentleman in, be-cause it gets lonely in a radio studio slumbering in the off-hours. I “Big Joe” and I chatted a while before he vaporized back into the night.

Beginning at midnight, my duties were to take half-hour meter readings and, at 3 a.m., change the reel-to-reel tapes for the FM operation, which aired “beautiful music” like Mantovani and Ferrante & Teicher. At sunrise, I’d power up the daytime-only AM signal, airing George Jones and Patsy Cline, and play country DJ for half an hour or so before the morning jock arrived with his thermos.

In-between, I had a lot of free time. So, I’d bring in my Grateful Dead and Cream platters and crank them over the studio monitors.

I didn’t last long at

KMND. One day they told me not to bother coming in tonight. I probably wasn’t career material, anyway.

WisconsinLater that fall, a blonde

Norwegian from Wiscon-

sin entered my life and changed its trajectory. After graduating from ASU, Lee Ann Mason applied for grad school

at Cal-Berkeley and I fol-lowed her back to the Bay Area, where I had grown up. I changed my name to Marty Mason to fool the campus employment ser-vice into thinking I was her husband and took landscaping jobs through the university in the East Bay hills. Because, degree or not, I was simply not career material.

We rented an apart-ment in Oakland, where our VW bug got stolen, the downstairs neighbor peddled mescaline, and the oft-violent campus protests unfolded under clouds of tear gas down Telegraph Avenue. Gov-ernor Reagan called in the National Guard, and one afternoon, while a group of us huddled in a laundromat to escape the anarchy, a man on a balcony just above us was fatally shot.

It was too much. The hate, the paranoia. Lee Ann quit grad school and we bolted back to the safe, tangerine skies of Arizona.

When Lee Ann landed a teaching job in Wausau,

Wisconsin, I left Tempe for the Northwoods. Culture shock. We mar-ried in 1972 and I took a reporter/weekend anchorman position at WAOW-TV, the local ABC outlet. On Election Night in November 1972, our an-chorman Ken Thorpe re-ported the results, headed home and was killed by a drunk driver. I took his seat on the set of the next day’s newscast, dutifully reporting the tragedy.

I lasted two years in TV, long enough to know I was never going to be career material. After the divorce, I headed to the nearest big city.

MilwaukeeIn 1975 a photographer

walked into the office of the Bugle-American, a Milwaukee “under-ground” weekly. Cathy Gubin, from Racine, Wis-consin, of all places, and I forged a journalistic bond that was unbroken for five years.

I had been hired as a reporter at the Bugle

MARTY RACINE

From the editor

PHOTO COURTESY CATHY GUBIN

You write wherever you can, as reporter Marty Racine did in deepest Tennessee for the Milwaukee Bugle-American while doing a road story in 1978 hitchhiking with truckers.

SEE RETIREMENT, PAGE 10

10 | FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 OPINION LAS CRUCES BULLETIN

for $100 a week. First, Cathy taught me how to see, and then I learned how to write. We went on excursions – the 1976 Republican National Convention in Kansas City, hitchhiking with truckers down to Tennes-see, spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers in Arizona.

I also secured a part-time DJ slot on WZMF-FM in suburban Menomonee Falls. From 10 o’clock Saturday night until 2 Sunday morning I was “Dr. Metal,” spin-

ning Foghat, Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd (I was on the air the night of their fatal plane crash).

One afternoon, music editor Gary Peterson asked if I’d cover a con-cert. Boston was playing the Milwaukee Arena and since I was in rock radio, he figured I could handle the assignment.

The rest is history.I became a music

writer, typing at the din-ing table in our upstairs flat on Maryland Avenue late into the evening, fueled by cigarettes, a six-pack of Wisconsin’s finest and new wave and Southern rock on the stereo.

In 1979, Cathy and I founded a music monthly, Xpress, produced in our living room. She took the photos, I wrote half the copy, designed the pages with Letraset and Xacto knife, sold the ads, drove the proofs to the printer

up in Shorewood and dis-tributed the publication to the racks.

Later that year, the morning daily Milwaukee Sentinel hired me as a music stringer to help cover the huge lakeside festival, Summerfest. After toiling in the “al-ternative press” for five years, I joined the estab-lishment, accruing a legit-imate portfolio by phoning in concert reviews and dictating copy to the night editor for the early editions. After one such concert by Devo, which, admittedly, was one strange band, I scanned the next day’s paper and the review wasn’t there. I called my editor.

“Well, I’m sorry, but your copy made no sense,” he explained.

TexasIn 1980 Cathy went on

tour with Van Halen as their photographer. She

also was hired by the Houston Post. Through Post music critic Bob Claypool, a country-music expert, she learned that crosstown rival the Houston Chronicle was advertising for a music critic. I took my portfolio to Texas in an old beat-up van that leaked oil and won the job.

This was the big time: No more midnight mas-terpieces written on beer and cigarettes. This was, get here in the morning, even if you’re not awake, slug down newsroom coffee and make your deadlines. Oh, and ditch the cigarettes. So, in 1987, I quit cold turkey.

I’d never compete with Claypool, who wrote “Friday Night at Gilley’s,” regarded as the basis for “Urban Cowboy,” so I veered into the punk-rock scene, easily as beer-stained and fraught with danger as a Houston honky-tonk. Somehow, I lasted 22 years, hav-ing skirted several close calls – like the time I covered Michael Jack-son’s “Thriller” tour at Texas Stadium in Dallas, returned to the hotel to bang out a review for the early Sunday “owl,” poured a drink of Jack Daniel’s and woke up hours past my deadline.

New MexicoIn Houston, I met this

bartender at Fitzgerald’s, my go-to music club. Glynis Onstott, who later became a computer pro-grammer and my wife, was from New Mexico. In 2003 we returned to the Southwest, where we belong to the long-distance skies, where a career would strike a final note nearly half a century after it never re-ally began.

Whether it be money,time or heart

invest wisely, share joyfully,and show enthusiasm!

Update meetingsDoña Ana County

Sheriff Kim Stewart has scheduled four commu-nity meetings to update residents on accom-plishments during her first year in office and plans for 2020.

The meeting previ-ously scheduled in Chaparral on Jan. 29 has been moved to Thursday, Feb. 6.

The meetings are open to the public, and the updated schedule of remaining meetings is as follows: Wednesday, Jan. 15 at the Doña Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd, in Las Cruces; Wednesday, Jan. 22 at the Anthony Water Dis-trict, 1155 N. Fourth St., in Anthony; and Thurs-day, Feb. 6 at the Delo-res Wright Community Center, 400 E. Lisa Dr., in Chaparral.

Each meeting starts at 6 p.m. and is scheduled to last one hour. Trans-

lation serves will be provided if requested in advance by calling 575-525-5884.

Sobriety checkpointsLas Cruces police will

conduct at least three saturation patrols and one checkpoint during the month of January.

Saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints held by Las Cruces police are intended to reduce and eliminate the number of motorists who drive while intoxi-cated.

Officers will also be on the lookout for other traffic safety violations such as drivers using cell phones, and those who fail to properly uti-lize seatbelts and child safety seats.

Las Cruces Police en-courage those who plan on consuming alcoholic beverages to use a desig-nated driver – someone who will not be drinking alcoholic beverages – for their transportation needs.

Saturation patrolsThe Doña Ana County

Sheriff’s Office will con-duct several saturation patrols and checkpoints through Jan. 23, at vari-ous undisclosed loca-tions throughout Doña Ana County. Check-points are normally set up between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m.

Deputies will be look-ing for all types of viola-tions, with an emphasis on intoxicated drivers. Motorists are reminded to ensure they are also carrying proof of insur-ance and current ve-hicle registration.

The Doña Ana County Health and Human Services Department of-fers county residents a low-cost taxi ride home through Project HOME (Helping Others Make it home Every time), which is available on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays from 5:30 p.m. to 3 a.m.

The project is a collab-orative initiative with Las Cruces Shuttle and Taxi by which a person or group who has been drinking any amount of alcohol can call 575-524-TAXI to be picked up for a discounted ride home. Project HOME will only take people from a bar or party to the rider’s residence.

For up to two people, the taxi fee is a flat $5 to any destination within Doña Ana County. For up to four people, the flat fee is $10. Grant funding pays the bal-ance of transportation charges.

IN THE NEWS


By MIKE COOK

Las Cruces Bulletin

State Rep. and New Mexico House of Rep-resentatives Majority Whip Doreen Y. Gal-legos, D-Doña Ana, has introduced House Bill 83, which she said will estab-lish an early childhood education trust fund in New Mexico. The bill will be considered during the 2020 session of the New Mexico Legislature that convenes Jan. 21 in Santa Fe.

HB83 is co-sponsored by state Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Luna, Hidalgo, Grant, Sierra, who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. It has the support of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

“Gov. Lujan Grisham knows the critical importance of perma-nently investing in New Mexico children,” said Lujan Grisham’s press secretary, Nora Sackett. “The Early Childhood Trust Fund will deliver that goal to New Mexico

families and build an edu-cational foundation for future generations, put-ting the state’s revenue to work for perhaps its most meaningful purpose: Comprehensively chang-ing the dynamic of early childhood education in this state, forever. The trust fund will generate its own revenue and be self-sustaining, the culmi-nation of a long and dedi-cated push to create this kind of funding mecha-nism. The governor looks forward to working with the legislature to enable the state to launch this permanent positive cycle of investment and op-portunity in New Mexico families and young chil-dren. Personally, I hope to see broad support for

such an important mea-sure concerning the early education of New Mexico children, which is surely an issue we can all get behind.”

“I have been introduc-ing bills to establish a new education fund since 2017,” Gallegos said. “It all came together this summer and fall. The Legislative Finance Com-mittee has recommended a $320 million jump start for the fund. The idea of the fund has evolved, and I hope 2020 will be the year my four-year effort crosses the finish line.”

The legislation cre-ates a trust fund rather than a permanent fund so “we don’t run into the technical issues we have encountered with the cur-

rent permanent funds,” said Gallegos, who is in her seventh year in the New Mexico House.

Initial funding will come from oil and gas revenues and budget surpluses and has an an-nual revenue steam , she said, adding that there are “safeguards in the legislation so that the legislature can’t simply raid the trust fund if the state runs into budget shortfalls.”

Gallegos said the bill also includes a provision from longtime state Sen. Carlos Cisneros of Questa and Taos, who died in 2019. That provision “will generate money to the fund from excess federal mineral leases revenue,” Gallegos said. “That was

something Sen. Cisneros wanted to pass, so I’m honored to have his leg-acy as a part of this bill.”

Gallegos said she is optimistic that HB83 will pass during the 2020 leg-islative session. “I have buy-in from key leader-ship in the legislature,” she said. “I have a team of supporters, advocates and groups from across the state supporting the bill and I think the time is right to pass some his-toric legislation that will serve kids in New Mexico for years to come,” Gal-legos said.

“I will strongly support the bill,” said state Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Doña Ana. “I applaud Rep. Gallegos for her advocacy.”

It’s their lunch time, but Santa Teresa High School sophomores Ethan Garcia, Giovanni Fuentes and Joshua Cervantes aren’t in the cafeteria. They’re hunched around a laptop, scanning the screen to debug code for the new app they’re de-veloping. It’s a recycling app that they submitted to the Samsung “Solve for Tomorrow” Contest.

“When we first talked about the app, our friends laughed at us a bit,” Gar-cia said.

Cervantes jumped in to continue the thought: “But when they under-stood what we were trying to do, they shared their thoughts on how impor-tant they thought recy-cling was, too.”

The recycling app con-cept came from what they saw around them.

“We wanted people to be more interested in the environment around us,” Fuentes said. “We looked around the school and saw all the litter. We didn’t want our school to be trashed, or to be known for that, and thought: What could we

do to fix it?”“Some of the best ideas

come from the youth,” said Patrick Peck, direc-tor of the South -Central Solid Waste Authority, which picks up recycling for Santa Teresa. “We love to hear about practical applications tying tech-nology to recycling aware-ness. We know these innovations will shape how we move forward and how we can improve.”

The concept of the app was akin to Pokémon Go, where the real world meets a digital world game. Users of the app can win virtual points by picking up wayward trash and showing that they’ve put the recyclable items – like water bottles – into a recycling bin.

In the early stages, the students got buy-in from the high school to have the points traded for high school apparel. But they immediately thought

larger: Would the city or the county be interested in the app?

Although they were chosen as finalists for the first round in the Sam-sung competition, the team didn’t proceed to the next round. However, the three did move the con-versation forward and in-creased awareness among their peers.

Santa Teresa High School computer science teacher Saul Nuñez said he’s watched the three boys grow steadily more confident as they prac-ticed pitching their idea to the contest coordinators. They continue to work on the app, and Nuñez has already seen a shift in all his students regarding recycling.

“Times are changing, and more people are interested in solving the problems we’ve created,” Nuñez said.

Green Connections is sub-mitted by the South-Cen-tral Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA), which manages solid waste and recycla-bles, while working to stop illegal dumping through-out Doña Ana County. Contact the SCSWA at 575-528-3800 or visit www.SCSWA.net.

By CAMMY MONTOYA

For the Bulletin

I had been looking for volunteer opportunities in Africa for about 12 years. A place where I could make a difference and work hands-on with animals. I stumbled upon the Center for Animal Rehabilitation and Edu-cation (C.A.R.E.) site and really liked what I read, so I saved it on my com-puter. Over the years, I would visit the site and each time I felt more con-nected to their cause.

This year I turned 50 and feeling as if I was going through a “mid-life crisis.” I wanted to par-ticipate in something ex-traordinary where I was part of something bigger than myself. I made a de-cision that I was going to pursue this opportunity to volunteer at C.A.R.E in South Africa. I contacted the organization and scheduled a date. I was extremely nervous and excited. I started to plan my trip, which included several airline reserva-tions, special clothing for the work I would be doing, and several vac-cinations so I wouldn’t contract a deadly disease while I was there.

C.A.R.E. was estab-lished in 1989 as a wild animal rehabilitation center by the late and world- renowned Rita Miljo. Rita was an incred-ible, indomitable woman who took on the problems of the Chama baboon, providing them with a safe haven and a method to rehabilitate them for release back into the wild. Rita’s pioneering successes soon led to C.A.R.E. being South Af-

rica’s largest and longest standing rehabilitation center for baboons, lo-cated near Phalaborwa in the Limpopo region.

Rita is often referred to as the Jane Goodall of baboons and is quoted as saying, “Why wait until a species is on the brink of

extinction before we try to help?”

I left Nov. 1 and arrived three days and 9,800 miles later in Phalaborwa. We

were the only plane in the entire airport. The airport was so tiny that I didn’t have to walk far to find the C.A.R.E. vol-

unteer who was there to pick up new volunteers. There were a total of four new volunteers on my flight. C.A.R.E. volun-teers come from all over the world: France, Scot-land, England, Mexico, Spain, Germany and Canada to name a few. We were informed that we would drive another hour before arriving at our final destination. But first we had to make a stop to pick up George Waste, a nickname given to the old and moldy fruits and vegetables a local grocer gives to C.A.R.E. for free to feed the baboons.

We drove for about 30 minutes and eventually turned down a dirt road headed to C.A.R.E. About 15 minutes later, we stop at a checkpoint where government officials take our passports and record our information. This is to keep track of everyone who goes in and out of this area adjacent to the Kruger National Park. As we wait for them to finish, I see a sign with a person walking with a slash through it sur-rounded by photos of a lion, water buffalo, hippo and elephant. We are re-minded to never walk in this area because there are dangerous wild bush animals that we could come in contact with.

A few minutes later we arrive at C.A.R.E. It is a small compound sur-rounded by an electric chain link fence. Off to the side we see a few el-ephants looking for food. I am awe struck by the fact I am going to be liv-ing alongside wild bush animals for three weeks

in the middle of nowhere. I’m shown to my room

in Volunteer Village and introduced to my room-mates. I have two of them, Carolyn, a 72-year-old flight attendant from Canada, and Rika, a 23-year-old wanderer from Germany. I am grin-ning from ear to ear with absolute joy and I say to myself, “I can’t believe I’m here!”

I’m told that there are three babies in the nurs-ery. I am elated!! I knew 10 months ago when I started planning my trip that there is no guarantee that there will be baby ba-boons at the facility while I’m there. I have to wait 48 hours before I can work in the nursery to make sure I don’t have any kind of cold or flu type of sickness that I could potentially pass on to the babies. Baboons share 94 percent of human DNA and can catch colds and flu from us.

Over the next couple of days I was briefed on what to expect while I’m at C.A.R.E., how to interact with the babies and safety precautions to be taken while walking along the compound and outside the gate near the enclosures housing about 450 baboons. Each en-closure contains a troop of baboons, rescued and rehabilitated, ready to be released into the bush once a site is available.

Every night the work schedule is sent out to all the volunteers. We worked 10-hour days and the schedule listed what tasks we were assigned to every hour. Tasks include preparing milk bottles, cleaning the kitchen, cleaning enclosures,

cooking and preparing food for the troop ba-boons, making enrich-ments, laundry, cleaning the chicken coop, and my favorite part of the day, taking care of the babies in the nursery.

We were briefed on how to take care of the babies while we are watching them in the nursery. Each baby ba-boon comes to C.A.R.E. traumatized. They have been orphaned, which means their entire troop was slaughtered, or their mom was killed in some other horrific way. The baby baboons often have severe anxiety and can’t sleep. They are not there for us to play with, we are there to feed and nurture them and help them to

feel safe. I was also taught specific baboon “lan-guage” to communicate with the babies.

My first day in the nursery was profound. I had waited years to have this experience and here I was sitting on the ground feeding a baby baboon, as he is falling asleep on my lap. I choked back tears. I never expected to be moved in such a way. His name was Gauthier and he only had one arm. An adult baboon had ripped off his left arm and the C.A.R.E. veterinar-ian was able to sew the wound shut. Gauthier was in the nursery heal-ing from his injury before he could reunite with his mom. Gauthier was not an orphan. He was the

result of a freak accident. This was an anomaly.

Gauthier was learning how to navigate around the nursery with three limbs, constantly falling over and getting upset. He never gave up, he just kept trying to figure out how to climb and inter-act. I was so impressed by this little baboon who would roughhouse with the other two babies, and even though they usu-ally pinned him down, he would fight his way back up.

The other two male baby baboons were Prince and Albus. Prince was the oldest one. So sure of himself, quirky and mischievous. Albus was very skittish and didn’t take to me right away. He had severe anxiety and was only comfortable with a couple of people in the nursery and his human surro-gate mom. Eventually Albus warmed up to me and would often sit on my shoulder while eat-

ing some vegetables and watching the others play.

We also monitored and recorded data on the ba-bies in the nursery. It was very important to know if they were progressing or digressing.

After each shift we would update their charts with how much milk they drank, how much food they ate, what their demeanor was like and if they were pooing and peeing regularly.

I was fascinated watch-ing the babies interact with each other and the volunteers. I never got tired of being in the nurs-ery. It was the best part of my day.

Their surrogate human mom would drop them off at the nursery in the morning, and just like lit-tle kids being dropped off at day care, they would cry and run to the door as their mom was leaving. They would be upset for a few minutes. We would console them but then they would see the other

babies running around and playing and they would join the fun.

Eventually I could tell when they were upset, hungry, tired or if they just wanted to play. I was able to communi-cate with them through lip-smacking and other variations of grunting noises. After 21 days of communicating with the baboons I found myself lip-smacking at a human baby I saw while out and about visiting the local area. I giggled to myself.

When an orphaned baboon is brought to C.A.R.E., it is assigned a human to bond with as a surrogate mom. Once the baby is a little older, they are bonded with a baboon mom from one of the existing troops on the premises, eventually be-coming part of that troop. I was impressed by the process developed by Rita and her predecessor over three decades. It worked, time and time again.

It was such a privilege to be part of this organi-zation. I was humbled by the long days, hard work and vegan food I was forced to eat. I loved being part of a tribe that suited up and showed up every day, every hour because we all depended on each other to get the job done. And, we were all passion-ate about getting the job done and doing the best we could for all of the baboons.

This experience changed my life. I don’t see through the same lens any longer. My perspec-tive is forever shifted. I feel like a new person.

tonight’s picks

6 p.m. on LIFEMovie: Psycho Nurse

Mira and Todd (Abbie Cobb, Sean Faris) feel overwhelmed when their young son is diagnosed with a rare condi-tion that requires a carefully monitored special diet and physical treatment to survive. They decide to hire a live-in nurse, Gwen (Lyndon Smith), to provide the kind of focused care their son needs, but alas, Gwen has a few screws loose and soon is fantasizing about removing Mira from the picture and taking Todd and his son for herself. Griffin Morgan co-stars in this 2019 thriller.

7 p.m. on HALLMovie: Love in Winterland

Italia Ricci (“Designated Sur-vivor”) stars in this new 2020 winter romance as Alice, a luxury hotel manager, who snags a spot on a TV dat-ing show in the vein of “The Bachelor.” She’s even happier when things go well and she is among the finalists, but as she goes back to her hometown for the last date with her TV suitor (Jack Turner), she’s stunned to discover her former boyfriend, Brett (Chad Michael Murray), now is running the inn where the show’s crew is booked.

7 p.m. on FS1College Basketball

The Big Ten is highly relevant thus far in the college bas-ketball season and the Ohio State Buckeyes are among the best of them. Today they visit the Indiana Hoosiers in a conference showdown. Kaleb Wesson has been lighting up the scoreboard for the Bucks, who hope their basketball team goes as deep into the postsea-son as their football team did. The once-proud Hoosiers have fallen on hard times.

7 p.m. on OWNFamily or Fiancé

The high-stakes social ex-periment returns with new

episodes in which relationship expert Tracy McMillan helps engaged couples seek the blessing of — at least initially — disapproving family mem-bers who think their proposed union would be a mistake for one reason or another. In the new “Cindy and Jamiah: Fami-lies in Feud,” an engaged cou-ple is starting to feel desperate as their respective families continue to be embroiled in a bitter dispute, just one week before their wedding. Things get truly dire when both fami-lies unite to express their joint opposition.

9 p.m. on HBOMovie: John Wick: Chapter

3 — ParabellumThis third entry in the Keanu Reeves action thriller franchise was the most successful to date, both in terms of box-of-fice revenue and critical praise for the screenplay and perfor-mances. The story picks up just one hour after the events of the second “Wick” film and finds the ex-hitman title charac-ter on the run for his life, pur-sued by legions of assassins eyeing the $14 million contract placed on his head for his recent actions. Ian McShane, Mark Dacascos, Laurence Fishburne, Halle Berry and An-jelica Huston also star.

ThingsA group of kids shows host Tiffany Haddish the best way to eat pizza — and the young-est and toughest food critic in Brooklyn, N.Y., goes on a cu-linary adventure at a Michelin star-rated restaurant — as a new episode called “A Thou-sand Thumbs Up!” airs. Later, Tiffany goes toe-to-toe with a dazzling young chess player, and an aspiring entomologist shows off her cockroach col-lection. In another segment, a virtual assistant called Tiffy stirs up trouble with some young rebels.

AwardsPresented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association, this awards ceremony — which honors the year’s best in films and TV/streaming — observes its silver anniversary. In the movie categories, Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” leads this year’s pack of nom-inees with 14 nods, followed by Quentin Tarantino’s “Once

Upon a Time in Hollywood” (12) and Greta Gerwig’s “Lit-tle Women” (9). One of last year’s acting winners, Maher-shali Ali (“Green Book”), is back this year as a nominee for HBO’s “True Detective.”

Screenwriter Andrew Davies — who has four well-received Jane Austen adaptations to his credit — picks up Austen’s final, unfinished work in this new eight-hour miniseries, which takes place in the sleepy British seaside town of the title. Tom Parker (Kris Marshall, “Death in Paradise”), an eccentric local, is ob-sessed with transforming the community into a fashionable health resort with the back-ing of Lady Denham (Anne Reid, “Last Tango in Halifax”). Rose Williams (“Reign”), Theo James (“Golden Boy”), Crystal Clarke (“Ordeal by Innoncence”) and Jack Fox (“Riviera”) also star.

10 p.m. on HBOThe Outsider

Adapted from a novel by Ste-phen King, this new psycho-logical thriller follows Georgia police detective Ralph An-derson (Ben Mendelsohn) as he investigates the murder of

an 11-year-old boy. Eyewit-ness accounts and physical evidence point to an unlike-ly suspect: Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), a popular local teacher, husband and father. When contradictory evidence that seems to clear Terry emerges, Ralph — who still is mourning the recent death of his own son — brings in unorthodox private eye Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo) to provide her perspective. Mare Winningham also stars. Another episode immediately follows.

10:30 p.m. on METVNCollector’s Call

Erich “Mancow” Muller is best known to millions from his syndicated radio show “Man-cow’s Morning Madhouse,” but he also has a passion for collecting movie, TV and music memorabilia. In the new episode “Meet Mancow,” Muller shows off his collection to longtime friend Barry Wil-liams, who played eldest son Greg on “The Brady Bunch.” Entertainment collectibles expert Keith McDonough also joins the party to set a value on Muller’s collection, which has been building for more than three decades.

Whatever their political affil-iation, few Americans would try to dispute that the United States currently is polarized in its politics, with the chasm between progressives and conservatives seemingly wider than ever before. Filmmaker Michael Kirk explores that situation in “America’s Great Divide,” a four-hour, two-part documentary concluding Tuesday. Part 1 traces how

State Voiello (Silvio Orlan-do) succeeds in having Sir John Brannox (Malkovich), a moderate English aristocrat, installed on the papal throne. Henry Goodman and Ulrich Thomsen also join the cast.

tonight’s picks

6 p.m. on A&EThe First 48

In a new episode called “Dead Stop & Uninvited,” after a young Atlanta father is found murdered

in his home by his girlfriend, the subsequent investigation leads detectives to track down the killer. It doesn’t take the officials long, however, to discover that things are not as they first ap-peared to be. Then, in Tulsa, Okla., police are challenged to discern the motive behind the fatal shooting of a local teen-ager.

7 p.m. on KVIA2Supernatural

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and his current (maybe) romantic partner, Eileen (guest star Shoshanna Stern), are forced to

confront a brutal truth in a new episode with the harrowing title “The Trap.” Meanwhile, Dean and Castiel (Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins) team up in a desperate attempt to get ahead of Chuck (guest star Rob Ben-edict) and his grim endgame for them.

9:30 p.m. on FREEFRMEverything’s Gonna Be OkayAustralian comic and actor Josh Thomas, whose break-out sitcom “Please Like Me” earned critical acclaim, returns in this bittersweet dramedy which — like the earlier show

— incorporates complex issues into its comic storylines. Thom-as plays Nicholas, a neurotic man in his 20s, who is visiting his father and teenage half-sis-ters (Kayla Cromer, Maeve Press) when their dad dies. That leaves Nicholas and his younger siblings, one of whom is on the autism spectrum, to sort out a new life together. Another episode immediately follows.

Las Cruces Bulletin

You might say that Las Cruces artist Debra Vance came to watercol-ors by way of a dentist’s chair and a cattle ranch.

A native of Strongs-ville, Ohio, Vance moved to Colorado in 1986 and began a career as a dental hygienist that would last for 30 years. She met her husband, Dene, when the two were involved in co-ed softball in 1993. Together, they owned a 168-acre cattle ranch for 18 years.

“We just enjoyed the heck out of it,” she said. But after feeding and watering cattle twice a day in temperatures that

sometimes dipped to 20 below, the couple sold the ranch, retired and moved to Las Cruces four years ago, where she has fo-cused mostly on creating and selling art.

“We love it,” she said.Settling into 11 acres

surrounded by about 350 pecan trees on West Union Avenue in what she dubs Hacienda Vance, Debra has located her studio and gallery in a courtyard casita. She also has studio space in the couple’s RV so she can paint while they travel to

plein air (outdoor) events in the region.

Her work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout the West. Vance has also exhibited her work in juried shows in Mesilla, Albuquerque and Santa Fe and has participated in plein air shows in New Mexico and Arizona, including Santa Cruz Plein Air 2019 in Tubac, Arizona, where she won second place.

Vance has discovered a non-traditional way of painting, using palette knives, which are usually reserved for artists work-ing in oil, and a substance called watercolor ground

Las Cruces Bulletin

Less than a week after turning in his city-issued cell phone and his keys to City Hall, former District 2 City Councilor Gregory Z. Smith pocketed a new set of keys to the offices of the Doña Ana Arts Council.

In the aftermath of the city’s mayoral election, in which Smith came up short in his bid, he was ap-proached by representa-tives of the arts council’s board of directors, who offered him the job as ex-ecutive director.

“I hadn’t even thought about it,” Smith said. “As soon as we met, I realized it’s a huge connection for me. I thought about it for a bit and spoke with my wife, and we agreed it seemed like a good fit.”

Smith, 66, said he was pleasantly surprised by the offer, and he looks forward to using the con-nections he’s made as a city councilor and board member of the Animal Services Center of the Me-silla Valley to elevate the arts in his new position.

“I’m excited for the op-portunity to focus more closely on one aspect of what I’ve been trying to do, and to see the impact on other areas,” Smith said. “With the board’s support, I hope to place Las Cruces in the cross-hairs of the arts scene. I believe this area has the potential to be an active agent for the arts at the local, national and inter-national spheres.”

Smith said he will em-ploy his extensive list of contacts to help the arts council build member-ship, increase involve-ment, improve events and

“address the perennial issue of raising funds.”

In addition to what he brings to the position from his former council position, Smith said he’s learned a lot about how nonprofits can succeed from his involvement with a number of entities, including the Downtown Las Cruces Partnership, the Paleozoic Trackways Association and the Me-silla Valley Preservation, Inc.

Saying that he has “a lot of ideas to run past the board,” Smith said his overall goal is to “connect the organization to the community and create a vision going forward.”

“I think 2020 will be a big year for the arts in Las Cruces,” he said. “I appreciate all the foun-dational work that’s been

done by all the people who have preceded me in this role. Now, we build on it.”

Smith was a strong advocate for the arts dur-ing his entire eight-year tenure on the city council. He also served four years as mayor pro tem.

Smith’s mother, Jo-an Smith, has been a Las Cruces artist since the family moved to Las Cru-ces in 1972.

Smith succeeds Steve Ruwoldt as DAAC execu-tive director. Ruwoldt was appointed to the position Oct. 1, succeeding long-time DAAC executive director Kathleen Albers, who retired. Ruwoldt re-signed in December.

to create texture in her watercolors.

“I’m playing with it more and more,” Vance said. “It adds a whole other dimension of inter-est.”

Vance is a signature member of the New Mex-ico Watercolor Society, Plein Air Painters of New

Mexico, ArtForms/Las Cruces Art Association and the Doña Ana Arts Council.

Although she didn’t get “serious” about her art until a few years ago, Vance said she “always doodled and sketched as a kid,” using crayons and colored pencils and paint-ing with acrylics on slid-ing glass doors.

The Vances are also amateur wine makers.

They buy grapes from Deming and make their own Hacienda Vance Wine.

The label features Debra’s painting of the hacienda. The wines have won medals in Colorado and New Mexico.

“It’s just fun to share,” she said.

Vance learned how to sell cattle on a website and on Facebook and has since transferred “mar-

keting from cows to art-work,” she said. She also sells greetings cards and has her artwork featured on dish towels and pil-lows for VIDA (shopvida.com), an e-commerce platform whose products benefit literacy programs worldwide.

BULLETIN REPORT

Converge Las Cruces presents “Fire & Ice,” a photographic exhibition at The Unsettled Gallery on Mesquite Street through Feb. 29.

An artist reception is 4-6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, at the gallery, 905 N. Mesquite St.

The exhibit features pho-tographers John Craig, who

examines the timeless land-scape of Death Valley, and Alex Tullis, who explores the magical landscape of Iceland.

“The work in this exhibi-tion has opposite connota-tions, yet illuminate a single motif of the land around us; both artists interpreting the uninhabitable,” said Deborah Sperry, director of exhibitions at Converge Las Cruces. “Craig’s pho-

tographs of Death Valley are imbedded with eternal gyrostatic tensions with the passage of time, while Tullis’s compositions of the Icelandic landscape highlight the intimacy of remoteness.”

Craig has been a profes-sional photographer for 40 years. He lives in Las Cru-ces with his wife, Deborah, and their two dogs, Jasper Johns and Coco.

Tullis is a professional photographer with experi-ence in fine art, wedding, commercial and editorial photography. He lives in Blairstown, New Jersey, with his wife, Julia, and their two children.

Converge Las Cruces exhibits in partnership with The Unsettled Gallery, rep-resenting artists focusing on environment, landscape and climate change.

‘Fire & Ice’: landscapes from the great beyond

By ELVA K. ÖSTERREICH

Las Cruces Bulletin

Forty-two years have passed since my high school friend Gretchen dragged me to a movie called “Star Wars” (the “A New Hope” part was added later) somewhere in the depths of her teenage depression and deep-crush status with Harrison Ford.

Now, after three-times-three movies have hit the big screen, I watched the cycle end. This film excited me from the first moment as the original Star Wars title came up with the original music and the familiar yellow words scrolling into the distance setting up the film. No new score, no threads of 3D titles, only the same form as the first.

The story is simple, and big, like the first. The characters are en-gaging and familiar with some old faces we know well, like the grey but still engaging Han Solo (Ford) who appears as a memory, and new faces bold and strong, like the fierce and beautiful warrior Jannah (Naomi Ackie), who arrives on the scene on her trusty orbak steed. Note: Add-

ing to the retro feel of this movie, orbaks are not CGI characters but clearly horses in tusky masks and long furry blankets. They are de-lightful creatures, perfect for launching an attack on Imperial Star Cruis-ers.

Embedded in this movie are bits and re-flections of the previous eight movies, but partic-ularly the first that came out (Episode IV) in the cycle as the story comes back around to its begin-nings again. The reflec-tions are the pieces that caught my attention the most. At the beginning, when we first see lead character Rey (Daisy Ridley), she is training in a jungle, much like Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in the first movie when he was under the guidance of Yoda. The film travels to familiar places, has battles in old haunts and ends where the cycle began.

And for people look-ing for answers that tie everything up in neat bundles, they may be disappointed. If a movie ever defied the old Chek-hov’s gun principle, “never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn’t going to go off,” it

would be this one. There are many knots here that are still in knots: what was Finn going to say to Rey? Where has Lando Calrissian been all this time? What are those things cheering the bad guy on in the end – people? ghosts? his own clones?

But with all that for die-hard fans to find and ask, the movie stands by itself. You don’t have to know the background, or the other stories, to follow this story. You can just sit back, relax and experience a hero’s journey.

For the Bulletin

One of the most popu-lar stories in all of France – the tale of Cyrano de Bergerac, who apparently was a patrician in real (and reel) life – has been on the stage, screen, in ballet, opera and even a comic book, and it re-mains popular.

As an example, make sure you stay for the credits when the film is over and get a bird’s eye view of the many actors who have played Cyrano on film.

In the play, written just before 1900 by Ed-mond Rostand, a “verse playwright,” Cyrano was charming and coura-geous, a passionate man about love, and articulate and blessed with a rather

large snout. Although not loved himself, he instead helps a romantic adver-sary with his love life, ex-pecting nothing in return. Cyrano supposedly lived in the 17th century.

This charming trifle of a film, well-acted and played, is a behind-the-scenes look, probably not very historically ac-curate, about the making of the play, with a stage date around Christmas in 1897.

Of course, everyone involved is in trouble of some sort.

The lead actor, played by Olivier Gourmet, is

in financial and profes-sional mischief. Rostand’s previous work, again in verse, was a flop, and of course the owners of the playhouse are after both. Gourmet (as Constant Co-quelin) more or less com-missions Rostand (played by Thomas Soliveres) to write a play, even though his previous one, done by the beloved actress Sarah

Bernhardt, was a com-plete disaster, Rostand is stuck with the project and only has three weeks to write it.

Stumbling through his writer’s block, he is finally and amazingly en-lightened by the romantic attempts of his hand-some but rather dorky friend, Leo, after they meet Jeanne while on

their way to the Moulin Rouge. Leo is lovestruck and clueless, but Jeanne is fascinated and adven-turous. Add into the mix the fact that Rostand’s wife thinks he is having an affair after reading some of the love letters that Rostand writes for Leo to present to Jeanne and you have the mak-ing of an enjoyable and fast paced plot. And not to forget the suggestions and help from Honore, a black café owner, whose wit and wisdom set a few more sparks for Rostand.

The play begins fan-cifully and with great, genteel humor as all the pieces eventually fall together. Doubts remain about its possible success, but Rostand and Coque-lin cast them aside and

continue on their merry ways, even as Coquelin tells Rostand to add vari-ous things to the story, including a fencing scene, as he reminds Rostand that his skills in such are greatly underrated.

All in all, “Cyrano, My Love” works on every level – from writing to costuming, and you will be glad that director Alexis Michalak worked for more than 15 years to get his stage version of the work to the screen.

“Take it and turn to facts my fantasies.”

For the Bulletin

When pondering the great questions of life, one realizes that humankind’s creation is a great mys-tery. The material part of humankind’s existence provides the challenges and opportunities for the growth and development of character and wisdom. The spiritual side is re-inforced by the wisdom gained by these challenges. This, in turn, enhances humankind’s physical side making for a more bal-anced and happy life.

The Bahá’í Writings

state:“Man has two powers,

and his development two aspects. One power is con-nected with the material world, and by it he is ca-pable of material advance-ment. The other power is spiritual, and through its development, his inner, potential nature is awak-ened. These powers are like two wings. Both must be developed in order for flight to be possible. Praise be to God!

“Material advancement has been evident in the world, but there is need of spiritual advancement in like proportion. We

must strive unceasingly and without rest to ac-complish the development of the spiritual nature in humankind, and endeavor with tireless energy to advance humanity toward the nobility of its true and intended station. For the body of humankind is accidental; it is of no importance. The time of its disintegration will inevita-bly come. But the spirit of man is essential and there-fore eternal. It is a divine bounty.”

The process that a fetus goes through by develop-ing the limbs and other ele-ments necessary for life in

the material world is simi-lar to our preparation for our continuing existence after our separation from this material world.

“Before his first or physical birth, man was in the world of the matrix. He had no knowledge of this world; his eyes could not see; his ears could not hear. When he was born from the world of the matrix, he beheld another world. The sun was shin-ing with its splendors, the moon radiant in the heav-ens, the stars twinkling in the expansive firmament, the seas surging, trees ver-dant and green, all kinds

of creatures enjoying life here, infinite bounties pre-pared for him.

“In the world of the ma-trix, none of these things existed. In that world, he had no knowledge of this vast range of existence; nay, rather, he would have denied the reality of this world. But after his birth, he began to open his eyes and behold the wonders of this illimitable universe. Similarly, as long as man is in the matrix of the human world, as long as he is the captive of nature, he is out of touch and without knowledge of the universe of the Kingdom. If he at-

tains rebirth while in the world of nature, he will become informed of the di-vine world. He will observe that a higher world exists.

“The mission of the prophets, the revelation of the holy books, the mani-festation of the heavenly teachers and the purpose of divine philosophy all center on the training of the human realities, so that they may become clear and pure as mirrors and reflect the light and love of the Sun of Reality.”

Carl Ewing is chairman of the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahais of Las Cruces.

‘Day of Prayer’St. Paul’s United Meth-

odist Church, 225 W. Griggs Ave., hosts a Day of Prayer from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sat-urday, Jan. 18. Lunch will be provided for $8.

According to a church flyer, “This is a time to reflect and pray about our Christian witness to the

Gospel of Jesus Christ in our relationships to people of different races and cul-tures. It is a time for repen-tance, for forgiveness and for renewal of our commit-ment to love our neighbors as ourselves. There will b3e periods of worship, silence, singing, prayer and fellow-ship.”

All are welcome. For questions and to RSVP, call 575-525-2535.

Las Cruces Bulletin

Up until 2014, Las Cru-ces native Rachel Schnei-der was knee deep in a 25-year career of media and marketing. Little did she know that her father, Phil, was about to launch her in a very different direction.

Without consulting anyone in the family, Phil purchased a 22-year-old, family-run business called Ol’ Gringo Chile Company. It was a small and informal operation with a kitchen on Archu-leta Street that churned out a few gallons a day of family recipes for enchi-lada sauces and salsas.

Phil saw potential for the company to grow, so he invited Rachel to leave her corporate gig and join the family business. Hav-ing agreed, she assumed she would work alongside her sister, Andrea, at An-dele’s Restaurant, which had been a growing fam-ily enterprise since 1996.

She was wrong. Phil gave her the keys to Ol’ Gringo, explained his vi-sion and turned her loose.

“I had no earthly idea what I was doing, but he believed in me, so I gave it everything I had, and that’s what I’m still doing,” she said.

When her father fell ill and died in 2015, Schnei-der and her sister took it hard, but both concurred that the only way forward was to keep at it.

The Ol’Gringo Chile

Company of 2014 is walk-ing into 2020 vastly larger and more sophisticated, but it retains a team spirit and a commitment to handmade salsas and sauces that rely on per-fected recipes.

In May of 2016, Schnei-der moved out of the 2,000 square foot building on Archuleta into 5,000 square feet on Certified

Place. In July of 2019, she added an additional 5,000 square feet to the facil-ity’s footprint.

The extra space was necessitated by the grow-ing business. In addition to producing the Ol’ Gringo line, the company also prepares, bottles and serves as the distribution point for all of Andele’s salsas, as well as those for

Dick’s and Chilito’s cafes, and Lorenzo’s marinara sauce, among others. They also produce the en-tire Aztec line of salsas.

In addition to the local customer base, Ol’ Gringo continues to be contracted by large, out-of-state customers whose distribution networks reach across the United States.

“We’ve increased pro-duction by more than 500 percent in the last two years,” Schneider said, giving credit for the growth to her staff of 10 and a resolute commit-ment to her father’s early

vision.While the facility

pumps out 320 gallons of product each business day, Schneider readily admits that she could produce even more if she automated the production line. She’s reluctant.

“I just think automa-tion would change our product by stressing the ingredients,” she said. “That’s why we still hand mix, hand cook and hand pour every one of the 2,500 16-ounce jars that we produce each day.”

In addition to the small retail shop that oper-ates out of the lobby of

her building, Ol’ Gringo products are staples in most Las Cruces grocery stores, and the local stores — Toucan, Save Mart and Mountain View Cooperative — each carry the full line.

“The biggest thrill I get is when someone tells me how much they love our salsa,” Schneider said, admitting that she also sometimes “stalks” the salsa aisle while she’s shopping for the rush of seeing someone pick an Ol’ Gringo product off the shelf.

New Mexico State University’s Arrowhead Center has signed a memorandum of under-standing with the gov-ernment of Chihuahua, Mexico, after Arrowhead was selected as one of the international accel-erators for an agreement with the head of Chi-huahua’s Ministry of In-novation and Economic Development.

“We are extremely excited to offer our re-sources and programs to entrepreneurs in Chi-huahua,” said Kathryn Hansen, director of Ar-rowhead Center.

This collaboration will give Mexican startups the ability to take part in business training or local advising to exam-

ine potential customers, viability of products and strategic business plans.

“A large benefit for Chihuahua startups will be to have a chance at validating their projects for the U.S. markets with the network of business advisors at Arrowhead Center,” said Lisbeily Domínguez Ruvalcaba, director of the Innova-tion and Competitiveness Institute of Chihuahua State.

In May 2019, the Chi-huahua government signed an agreement with other public in-stitutions to promote startups. Specifically, Chihuahua Mayor Maru Campos and director of Economic and Tour-ism Development María Angélica Granados Trespalacios signed an agreement with Ale-

jandra de la Vega, head of the Ministry of In-novation and Economic Development of the State Government, and with five international accelerators. Through this agreement, Mexico’s government agencies can provide support for transportation, lodging and per diem for Chihua-hua startups.

Among other ac-celerating institutions participating in this agreement are Colora-do’s Techstars, Boston’s MassChallenge, Chile’s Start-Up Chile, Switzer-land’s Seedstars, United Kingdom’s DAI Interna-tional and Texas’ Tech Ranch.

“With New Mexico and Chihuahua shar-ing a border, we have a closer understanding of some of the more unique

needs of many of the emerging businesses in the state,” said Carlos Murguia, director of international entrepre-neurship services at Arrowhead Center. “We look forward to stimulat-ing bilateral economic growth for both states.”

Julio Casillas, invest-ment forum coordinator for Chihuahua Innova, agreed with Murguia.

“The idea behind cre-ation of collaborative bridges like these is that it will accelerate the development of entre-preneurial ecosystems in both New Mexico and Chihuahua, along with promoting the creation of bi-national enter-prises,” Casillas said.

The relation-ship between eco-nomic prosperity and presidential politics is well established. The general public credits the perfor-mance — good or bad — of the econ-omy to the incum-bent president. Politicians are well aware of this.

Richard Nixon pres-sured the Federal Reserve to rev up the economy going into the 1972 elec-tion. Many observers at the time (as well as histo-rians today) believe the robust economy going into the election was important in Nixon’s landslide re-election.

Candidate Ronald Reagan relentlessly criti-cized incumbent Jimmy Carter for a double-digit Misery Index, which is the sum of inflation and unemployment. Later during his

1984 re-election bid, Presi-dent Reagan’s re-election campaign ran an ad stat-ing that it was “Morning in America.”

James Carville, then a strategist for presidential candidate Bill Clinton, famously hung a sign in the Clinton Campaign Headquarters that stated, “It’s The Economy, Stu-pid.” This was a reminder

to campaign staff to focus on the then-recent 1991-92 recession.

The 2008 election of Barack Obama went from a close call to a no-brainer after the September col-lapse of Lehman Brothers. In fact, it is no coincidence that all three post-World War II one-term presi-dents — Ford, Carter and Bush, Sr. — presided over weak economies. All three had recessions after the mid-term elections going into the presidential elec-tion cycle.

Consciously or sub-consciously, voters credit the incumbent president for the economy. In good times, they are more likely to vote for the party in

power. Economic prosper-ity is the most certain way of gaining re-election. All this is to say that if you are someone who wants to see Trump defeated in 2020, you have an uphill battle because the econ-omy is doing really, really well. We are in the longest U.S. expansion on record.

GDP growth, while a little slow at 2.3 percent since Trump’s election, is very steady. The un-employment rate is 3.5 percent and is the lowest since May of 1969. Infla-tion is mild at 1.3 percent in the third quarter. Thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages are at 3.73 percent, down from when Trump took office. Despite

an inverted yield curve earlier this year, there is little indication of a reces-sion in the next 12 months.

The stock market -- the best single predictor of economic performance -- put in the best perfor-mance since 2013, closing 2019 at record levels. Anti-Trump partisans can point to record federal deficits, expected to top $1 trillion in 2020. But it they want my advice – and who wouldn’t – when the subject of the economy comes up, change the topic.

That seems to be the reason Speaker Nancy Pe-losi’s allowed the impeach-ment to go forward. Pelosi is a very good politician.

What do I think? Should Trump receive credit for the strong economy? Like the vast majority of economists, I believe that presidents get way too much credit for economic prosperity and way too much blame for recessions. There are many factors affecting the economy, over most of which the president exerts little control.

Downtown Desert Yoga (DDY), 303 S. Alameda Blvd., celebrates 10 years of providing yoga to the Mesilla Valley as it hosts “A Decade of Yoga, A Year of Celebration,” a year-long series of do-nation-based workshops and challenges, discounts and a day-long event, in-cluding free yoga, begin-ning in April.

Central to the year of celebration is DDY’s

governing philosophy of Optimal Movement (OM). Begun in 2015 as an adap-tation of the Functional Movement fitness sys-tem, DDY owner Colleen Boyd created yoga classes that are equally acces-sible and challenging for all bodies, regardless of type, ability or age.

DDY’s teacher training is designed with the spe-cific purpose of giving fu-ture yoga instructors the tools necessary to teach several styles of yoga to

the broadest range of body types and abilities.

Many of DDY’s instruc-tors have completed 500 hours of teacher train-ing, with 300 hours dedi-cated to therapeutic yoga essentials.

“For myself, and a lot of our instructors, what we want is for our stu-dents to get curious about movement in their body, see how it feels and then move in a way that feels best to them,” Boyd said. “Then, yoga becomes a

unique experience for each student in the room, allowing them to take re-sponsibility for how they move and feel in their bodies.”

Keep up with A Decade of Yoga, A Year of Cele-bration on DDY’s website, downtowndesertyoga.com, and on social media by following Downtown Desert Yoga on Facebook and Instagram.

Call 575-647-9642. Visit www.downtowndeser-tyoga.com.

Downtown Desert Yoga routinely collects feed-back on its website and Facebook page. Among testimonials received:

“As an educator and researcher, there are many opportunities for stress to pervade my consciousness. Coming to DDY, has been a safe, re-energizing space for me to return to my yoga practice.” – Amanda Armstrong

“I never dreamed that yoga could change my life and make me a better person, and by practicing at DDY, it has!” – Kathie Winter

“Five years ago I had my right hip replaced and moderate arthritis

in the left. The surgery was successful, butI was informed that I would not be able to cross my legs forward or backward. I started Yin yoga 2 years ago and proved them wrong. Just because I am a 67-year woman with a hip replacement and an arthritic hip doesn’t mean I can’t strive to be as flexible and strong as I was at 30.” – Cyndi Haber

“I was first introduced to yoga at DDY about a year ago and I absolutely love it! All of the instruc-tors are very kind and welcoming, and make you feel as comfortable as possible. Each class offers different options for each posture, so it doesn’t mat-

ter if you are a beginner or if you’ve been doing this for years, the instruc-tor will guide you into a pose that suits you.” – Brianna Padilla

“I had been look-ing for a certain type of yoga and found it at Downtown Desert yoga. The Hatha flow session on Wednesday evenings with Nikki is absolutely great. The studio is large, clean and everyone I have met has been abso-lutely fantastic. I highly recommend visiting the studio and trying one of their classes.” – Marietta Mealor

“DDY is my home away from home! I have never had such an amaz-

ing space to be free! The community of people are warm and welcom-ing. DDY is the favorite part of my day” – Anita Laura-Beckler

“I love DDY! The yoga is amazing! In a stressed and busy world, taking a class at DDY helps to soothe my soul. I always feel refreshed and re-laxed! Hot yoga is the best, try it you’ll like it!” – Piper Gibson

“Amazing environment with helpful, friendly staff. I was introduced to DDY because of their free yoga on the Plaza program and decided to start attending the studio regularly.” – Stephanie Fulton

The biggest challenge facing Schneider during any given week is having a stock of jars and lids on hand. Supply chains are not as reliable as she’d like, so she’s learned to buy in bulk when she has the opportunity. That decision was part of the rationale for expanding the operation to 10,000 square feet.

In addition to having enough jars on hand, Schneider is responsible for seeing to it each day that the production pro-cess and the end products comply with all state and federal regulations, thereby ensuring the integrity of the product while maintaining a company reputation that continues to attract new contracts.

An animal rights ad-vocate, Schneider also produces a salsa that has no formal name. The label simply states, “This Salsa

Saves Lives.” Ol’ Gringo makes and prepares the salsa, and Dog Cruces Magazine provides the labels. All proceeds go toward animal-rescue operations in and around Doña Ana County. Since its debut last summer, more than $4,000 has been raised through sales.

Having mastered the business that her father thrust upon her five years ago, Schneider said she’s proud — above all — of two things: “We don’t have a culture of can’t. We don’t ever fall back on ‘That’s the way we’ve always done it.’ “

And there’s also Phil’s legacy to uphold. “He didn’t know how to quit, even when all signs pointed to quitting. That’s what I’ve done, too.”

Ol’ Gringo Chile Com-pany is located at 1447 A-1 Certified Place in Las Cruces.

BULLETIN REPORT

Bravo Mic Communi-cations, LLC, partnered with listeners during the holidays to give back to local shelters and become “Santa Paws” for the ani-mals of Doña Ana County and Las Cruces.

On Jan. 2, the crew from Bravo M ic Com-munications delivered more than 1,000 pounds of dry dog and cat food, toys, supplies, collars and leashes, along with hundreds of blankets and towels to be used as com-fort items through the winter months.

Disc jockeys invited lis-teners to become “Santa Paws for local fur-babies” by donating items needed most during the winter months. It’s an annual event of the Bravo Mic Communications “Com-munity Giveback” ini-tiatives throughout Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico.

Listeners made do-nations in studio and at local “Community Giveback” sponsor loca-tions throughout the Las Cruces area. Santa Paws Community Spon-sors were invited to join the campaign by Bravo Mic’s local sales manager, Tamera Blaeser.

Participating busi-nesses included Horse N’ Hound Feed and Supply, Viva Auto of Las Cruces, First Financial Credit Union and Borman Au-toplex.

Donations were deliv-ered to Action Programs for Animals, a 501c3 non-profit rescue organization in Las Cruces, and to the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley, the local municipal shelter serving southern New Mexico.

Deliveries and manual lifting were coordinated by Magic 104.9’s Morning Show host Ricky Tarin, 101 Gold’s Afternoon Host

Jack Lutz, Marketing Ex-ecutive Crystal Segovia and Operations Manager Lyndsey Kalson -- along with Kalson’s daughter, Sheylah, who volunteered her time during her winter break from pubic school.

“Cruces Connected is

our biggest goal in 2020, and it’s off to a wonder-ful start,” Kalson said. “We are so thankful to be a part of Las Cruces and the many rural commu-nities of southern New Mexico.”

BULLETIN REPORT

A nationwide survey of pet owners places New Mexico fifth from the top in terms of New Year’s resolutions aimed at improving the lives of four-legged companions.

Wild Earth, cre-ators of a high-protein plant-based dog food, surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. dog owners to find out what resolu-tions they have for 2020 when it comes to their pet’s health.

Nationwide, roughly 44 percent of U.S. dog owners said they made a New Year’s resolu-tion related to improv-ing their pet’s health.

The top five states where dog owners said they want their pets to be healthier in 2020 are Massachusetts at 69 percent, followed by Nebraska at 67 per-cent, Washington at 64 percent, Minnesota at 59 percent and New Mexico at 57 percent.

“The top states where people plan to make New Year’s resolutions related to improving their pet’s health aren’t too surprising when you consider that recent research indicates those same states also have some of the high-est rates of pet obesity in America,” said Dr. Ernie Ward, chief vet-erinary officer of Wild Earth and founder of

the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention.

The survey also re-vealed insights about U.S. dog owners’ New Year’s resolutions for 2020. Roughly 41 per-cent of U.S. pet parents say their top-dog New Year resolution is to take their pups for more walks, with 65 percent of dog owners saying they don’t walk their dogs enough each week.

Nearly 93 percent of dog owners think they know what it takes to keep their dog healthy, but only 50 percent of those know the ingre-dients in their dog’s food and treats.

About 20 percent of U.S. dog owners said they think their dog is at an unhealthy weight, and across the nation, 77 percent of all pet parents plan on including their dogs in their own fitness-related New Year’s resolution activities.

“Pet owners have their pet’s best in-terests at heart, but sometimes there’s not enough information to understand what is in their pet’s best inter-est,” Ward said.

“And with so much confusing and contra-dictory information out there about the right way to care for your pets, it’s hard to know what exactly is fact and what’s fic-tion.”

Fido has his own resolutions, survey says

For 24 years Aggie sports fans had the op-portunity to see many thrilling moments and championship games on the court inside the Pan American Center. Now fans can own a piece of New Mexico State Uni-versity’s Lou Henson Court following an exclu-sive agreement with Las Cruces’ Triple D Wood-works to handcraft 1,000 limited edition pens.

In 2002, the court was officially dedicated to Henson, who holds the record for most wins in NMSU men’s basketball history. He has also been inducted into sev-eral basketball Hall of Fames.

From 2006 to 2007, the Pan American Center underwent a remodel, which included replac-ing the court. Wanda Bowman, owner of the Ashley Furniture Home-store and a friend of Hen-son and his wife, Mary, acquired the court at auc-tion in 2017.

Bowman hired Triple D Woodworks to create her Christmas gifts in 2018. The woodwork-ing company is owned and operated by Dennis Dickey. He and his wife, Donna, began turning handcrafted pens in 2006 and have since produced an estimated 10,000 to

15,000 writing instru-ments.

“At Christmas of 2018, we created some special pens that had a U.S. flag theme for Wanda Bowman,” said Dickey. “When we delivered those pens, we started discussing trying to make pens out of the NMSU Lou Henson Court wood.”

More than 100 of the 1,000 pens are crafted and available for sale. A por-tion of the profits from the pens will return to the NMSU men’s basket-ball team via the 6th Man

Club, which raises funds to support the men’s basketball program by supplementing the oper-ating budget in the areas of recruiting, travel, aca-demic support, summer school and nutrition.

“I purchased two num-bered pens when I first met with Mr. Dickey,” said Jones. “One to com-memorate my under-graduate year and the other was the number 70 representing the year that NMSU participated in the Final Four. I gave that pen as a gift to coach Henson and his wife,

Mary.” The rollerball pens are

sold for $129.95. Each is laser engraved with the words NMSU Lou Hen-son Court and includes a certificate of authentic-ity, a serial number and a gift box with the first refill.

To purchase one from Triple D Woodworks, contact Dickey at 575-202-5090 or [email protected]. Visit www.tripledwoodworks.com.

Marilynn Smith, one of the 13 original founders of the LPGA (the world’s oldest women’s sports organiza-tion) in 1950, died last April at age 89. As an LPGA Tour player in the ‘50s and ‘60s Smith won 21 tournaments, includ-ing two majors, and two other four-ball matches. She won numerous awards, including LPGA Most Improved Player in 1963 and the Patty Berg Award in 1979.

Smith grew up in Wichita, Kansas, and was athletic as a girl. She was briefly a pitcher on a boy’s baseball team. Her love for golf began when her father said he would buy her a bicycle as soon as she could play nine holes in 40 strokes at the Wichita Country Club. The rest in history.

Smith attended the Uni-versity of Kansas, where she played golf without a university women’s golf team. She was a three-time winner of the Kan-sas State Amateur from 1946-48, also winning the 1949 national individual intercollegiate golf cham-pionship. She turned pro in 1949 and joined the Spalding golf staff for a yearly sponsorship fee of $5,000. She ended up doing a whopping 4,000 golf clinics for Spalding throughout her career.

Smith served as the LP-GA’s president from 1958 to 1960. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006 in the Lifetime Achievement category.

“I’m just an or-dinary girl from the Kansas prairie who has lived an extraordinary life, and golf has made it possible for me to travel to all 50 states, 36 countries (and) to meet five presidents,” she

said at her induction. • Those of us who were

hooked on following PGA Tour golf in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s will certainly remember Gene Littler, whose nickname was “Gene the Machine” for his smooth rhythmical swing. Litter died in Feb-ruary at 88.

Littler won 29 tourna-ments on the PGA Tour including one major, the 1961 U.S. Open. He had five other professional wins, including two in Japan and one in Aus-tralia, and had 20 senior wins worldwide on Cham-pions, Japan Senior, senior invitationals and Legends of Golf tours.

Littler was born in San Diego, where he attended San Diego Uni-versity, later winning the California State Amateur and the U.S. Amateur,

both in 1953. He was on the American Ryder Cup teams that won or retained the cup in 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971 and 1975.

Littler joined the Navy on Jan. 15, 1951, serv-ing for three years. He enlisted 10 days after marrying Shirley War-ren, who was a college classmate.

One of the great Gene Littler quotes is this: “Golf is not a game of great shots. It’s a game of the best misses. The people who win make the smallest mistakes.” Still holds true today. Littler was inducted into the World Golf Hall of

Fame in 1990.• One of the lesser

known professional golf-ers (in the U.S. at least) was Mario Gonzalez, known as the “Father of Golf in Brazil.” He died in July at 96. Even though golf is less popular than soccer in Brazil, it is still

important. Gonzalez won the Brazilian Amateur nine times and the Brazil Open eight times, and he was in contention for the British Open in 1948 while an amateur.

When he was 18, he won the Argentine Ama-teur and the Argentine Open in back-to-back weeks. In 1941, at age 19, he took on Bobby Jones in an exhibition match and played him to a draw. Gonzalez also beat Billy Casper in a head-to-head match: Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf, made-for-TV match, in 1961. Gon-zalez bested Casper 68 to 71. At the time, Casper had 13 PGA Tour titles and had won the 1959 U.S. Open two years earlier.

Gonzalez was a player of note, but he preferred

to stay at home with family, teaching at his Gavea Golf Club, rather than travel. The Reserva Marapendi Golf Course was built for the 2016 Rio Olympics, and the re-markable career of Mario Gonzalez was remem-bered and memorialized in the form of an over-sized bronze statue on the grounds.

Next week, I’ll look back on the life of the most incredible and leg-endary golf writer of all time, Dan Jenkins, who died March 7, 2019.
