Kiss My Hocks lmpre~sive in. $700,000 Ruidoso Fut~rity Wil1

RUIDOSO DOWNS -The rooster crowed in the Grade 1, $700,000 Ruidoso· Futurity and there is no doubt who is the best two-year-old in American Quarter Horse racing.

Conda Maze and Tyler Graham's Kiss My Hocks, nick­named Rooster by Maze, hum­bled a promising field in the 350-yard Ruidoso Futurity on Sunday afternoon at Ruidoso Downs.

Maze nicknamed him Rooster after watching him after he purchased his portion of the colt. "He was a little cocky," said Maze. '

Kiss My Hocks came into the race as the top-ranked horse in the AQHA-Horse-player­now.com national weekly poll and further cemented his posi­tion with the one-halflength win.

Kiss My Hocks is now the only horse who can win the $4 million All American Triple Crown Bonus. It goes to the con­nections of any horse who can win the Ruidoso Futurity; Grade 1, $900,000 Rainbow Futurity and the Grade 1, $2.6 million All American Futurity. If any horse

wins the three futurities and the bonus, then his connections will take more than $6 million.

Jm Miracle was a late­running second by one-aJ\d-one­half length over Bodacious Eagle. .

Kiss My Hocks burst from the sixth post position and went to the lead. "He's one of a kind," said winning rider Cody Jensen. "He was perfect. Three jumps out of the gate he was on the lead and I just took care of him. I could see the outside horse (Jm Miracle) and the end, but we had it."

A son of Tempting Dash, Kiss My Hocks pushed his record to four-for-four with the Ruidoso Futurity score.

The colt has been a top member of his division since h1s first start. He broke a 12-year-old Sam Houston Race Park track record" in his debut and then won the $564,000 Sam Houston Futurity by one-half length.

Trainer Toby Keeton brought him to Ruidoso Downs and Kiss My Hocks immediately impressed in his Ruidoso

Futurity trial. He won his trial by three lengths and his time of : 17.281 was the fastest mark from the 12 trials on the first of two days of trials. That earned him 11-10 favoritism in the Ruidoso Futurity.

Next up for Kiss My Hocks could be the Rainbow Futurity trials on July 3-4.

"We've discussed it," said Maze. "It just depends on how he comes out of the race. But, he's a horse that likes something to do."

J&M Racing and Farms' Jm Miracle also impressed with his late run from the outside post position. It was just his second career start and the Volcom geld­ing was charging at the wire, but never threatened Kiss My Hocks. He won his Ruidoso Futurity trial by one-and-one-half lengths.

Johnny Trotter's Bodacious Eagle, a strapping gelding by One Famous Eagle, was another horse makin~ his second start in the RUidoso Futurity. The Blane Wood­trained gelding scored in his

Severe Weather Strikes County

bv Patrice Brazie

Governor Susana Martinez has proclaimed this week, from June 8th through June 13th, to be Monsoon Awareness Week in New Mexico. The Governor, The National Weather Service, the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration want people to be aware of the potential for flash flooding, damaging winds and damaging precipitation during the rainy season.

Monsoon season in Lincoln County gener­ally begins within a week-or-two on either side of Independence Day, but a few folks in the north­western part of the county were hit with some fierce weather last weekend that drew attention from network television affiliates in Albuquerque as well as the National Weather Service. ·

Joe Kenmore, the county's emergeucy services director, talked a little about the reported tornadoes and severe weather of the past weekend during Tuesday's meeting of the board of county commissioners.

Kenmore said that he had to initiate the county's Code Red emergency notification system, used to notify residents by telephone of potential emergency situations, twice last weekend; once on Saturday and once on Sunday.

"We had a real, real, heavy storm come in from the northwest towards Corona on Saturday afternoon," Kenmore reported. "We had a tornado on the ground for just a bit northwest of Corona in Torrance County. It tracked across the north­east/north-central part of the county."

The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down near the Village of Corona at a spot one or two miles west of Highway 54, shortly before 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Winds reached as high as 110 miles-per-hour. Witnesses reported quarter and golf ball-sized hail in the area, and there were unconfirmed reports of hail stones as big as tennis balls, Kenmore said. There was considerable damage reported, much of which

Commissioners Question Economic Development Planning bv Patrice Brazie

After being notified of a meeting scheduled for the purpose of discussing the development of an economic development plan for Lincoln County, County Manager Nita Taylor asked mem­bers ofthe board of county commissioners for their thoughts regarding the county's role in economic development.

Taylor reported on Tuesday, June 1Oth, dur­ing a regular monthly meeting of the board of county commissioners, that she had been made aware of the meeting by Hubert Quintana of the Southeastern New Mexico Economic Development District (SNMEDD). Taylor said that she had not been contacted by the organizers of the meetin~, Jim Miller and Greg Corey of Ruidoso, but Qumtana had recommended she attend.

Economic development and job creation are among the most commonly tossed aroWid to_p­ics, catch-phrases and campatgn talking J?Oints m politics today. The Lincoln County Commissioners have some skepticism about the government's abil­ity to create Jobs or positively affect economic development and County Commissioner Mark

Doth was very clear about his own feelings in those regards.

"This commission tackled this topic four years ago under a previous administration," Doth began. "The concept at that time was to bring in a consultant. The resulting report was the most

Sunday, June 15th

pathetic report I've ever seen on economic devel­opment anywhere, let alone this county. We paid a lot of money for that report and it was ridiculous,'' Doth said.

He told his fellow commissioners that he was not against economic development, but he def~ initely was against a group of people sitting togeth­er in a room making a lot of plans that would never come to fruition.

"The only real economic development is the business owners and developers that actually create jobs. That can be a rancher brin~ing in a cow, that's economic development, or tt can be someone opening a store in Ruidoso, but a banker and an educator sitting around a table, dreaming up economic development, is not my idea of econom­ic development," Doth said.

The county commissioner went on to cite the Road Runner railway in the northern part of the state and the spaceport project in the south as two· examples of spending millions of tax dollars on economic development concepts that have failed

"These were touted on the guise of ec~-

The tornado traveled east-southeast down Richardson Canyon Road snapping the tops off trees and breaking numerous branches of ponderosa pine.

The tornado intensified as it approached two homes. The first, a

· single wide mobile home from the · 1970s was completely destroyed as . the undercarriage was moved about · 20 feet and all walls were separated

from the floor and tossed. At this location, an 18-inch ponderosa pine was snapped at its trunk. The second residence, a double wide mobile home, was tossed into a bam. The undercarriage was badly bent and all walls were separated. Portions of the roof were tossed more than 100 yards while the occupants belongings were tossed more than 200 yards.

It was around these two homes the tornado made a sharp turn to the south, and causing damage to at least two others homes as well as barns and shed. There were no major injuries to people in the storm.

The path of the EF-1 tornado was 1.8 miles long, width was 160 yards. It produced peak winds of 110 miles per hour. Although an EF -1 tor­nado is considered a "weak" tornado with winds from 86 to 110 miles per hour, it is enough to cause consider­able damage.

Cbaves County Stepping up Efforts in Spraying for Mosquitos __

bv Randal Sevier

Roswell Daily Record

ROSWELL -The recent rains brought more than just flooded streets. Mosquitoes are hatching throughout Chaves County, and the county road department is out in force trying to combat the little bloodsuckers.

"Standing water is the main issue," County Manager Stan Riggs said last week. "We need people to be aware of any standing water on their property and, if they can, they need to move it along."

. "Mosquitoes can be an issue, especially considering the amount of flooding we've seen lately," said City Manager Larry Fry. "We definitely do have issues with mosquitoes, and sometimes we will have more of a problem in one part of town than another part, depending on how much standing water we have."

The city contracts with the county for infection control spraying, Fry said.

"We've been doing some spraying, but now with all the rain we are really having to step up our efforts," Riggs said.

The mosquitoes breed in standing water and with the rain, there have been quite a few reports of mosquito hatchings. The insects can bring with them diseases, including West Nile Virus.

"We have had a few cases of West Nile Virus reported, and last year I think we just had one case," Riggs said. "But we had a pretty big outbreak five or six years ago."

According to the New Mexico State University website, aces.nmsu.edu, cases of West Nile Virus have occurred in New Mexico every year since 2003. From 2003 to 2011, there were nearly 500 cases of West Nile Virus in humans. The largest· number of cases was 209 in 2003, and the smallest was four cases in 2011.

In 2013, New Mexico report­ed 38 human cases of West Nile Virus, with five of those cases being found in Chaves County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's web­site, diseasemapsusgs.gov.

West Nile Virus also affects animals. Just fewer than 500 cases of the virus have been reported in hors­es across New Mexico. The largest number of cases was 419 in 2003, while the fewest were one in 2010 and two in 2011.

Other animals that have tested positive for West Nile Virus included llamas/alpacas, canines, bovines, pigs/hogs, and chickens, according to the website.

For some people, the virus produces no syml?toms or serious ill­ness. In others, 1t can cause health problems. and sometimes death. There is no way to know ahead of time whether a person will get sick when they become infected.

Serious illness can occur in people of any age. Those at the high­est risk for getting severely ill when infected with West Nile Virus include people over age 50 and those with compromised immune systems -such as transplant patients. Typically, symptoms appear between three and 14 days after being bitten.

Most people do not develop any symptoms.

About two of every 10 infect­ed will develop West Nile fever. Symptoms include fever, headache, tiredness and body aches. Occasionally, a skin rash on the chest, stomach or back appears, alan~ with swollen lymph glands. The Illness can be as short as a few days or can last several weeks.

Very few peofle, about one out of every 150, wil develop West Nile encephalitis or meningitis. Symptoms include high fever, headache, neck stiffuess, stupor, dis­orientation, coma, tremors, convul­sions, muscle weakness, and paraly­sis. These symptoms typically last a few weeks, but the West Nile Virus effect on the nervous system can be permanent.

Prevention measures consist of community-based mosquito con­trol programs that are able to reduce populations of disease-causing mos­quttoes, as well as personal protec­tion measures to reduce the likeli­hood ofbeing bitten by infected mos­quitoes, according to the website.

Families Department are advising New Mexico residents to take extra precau­tions to avoid heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke­~ to be extra vigilant to not leave children in vehicles.

People at highest risk ofh'eat-related illnesses are the elderly, the very young, and people with existing.chronic diseases such as heart disease, as well as people without access to air conditioning. ·

The very youn~ are particularly vulnerable to heatstroke after be~g left in hot cars. Two children died in New Mexico from heatstroke after bemg left in hot cars over the last five years. In the U.S., heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash related deaths in vehicles for children 14 and younger.

"There should never be a reason to leave a child alone in a car," said Children, Youth and Families Cabinet Secretary Yolanda Deines. ''Noy.r that temperatures are spiking, we need to be very aware of what we have m our back seat, especially when it is our children who are the most vulnerable."

The Carrizozo Sports and Fitness Center at the Golf Course __ A Game Plan for Good Health

Followers of team sports are familar with the term "game plan". A game plan begins with acquiring knowledge about the opponent, their skills, strengths and weaknesses. The game plan maker also look at their teams personnel and tries to match up skill fo skill, strength with strength and if they are lucky the team has acquired a first round draft choice to give them a competitive edge.

For four quarters the team that is committed to the game plan usually wins. Life may be divided into four quarters; infancy, pre-ado­lescent, adolesccent and adulthood. The ability to win the battles during this game of life may be determined by a game plan, one which the indi­vidual didn't originate but one which they must develop over a lifetime if they are to be successful.

What are your skills, strengths and weaknesses and do you have a competive edge; a special skill to combat the opponent, diabetes, heart disease,etc.? Are you satisfied to settle on the couch and let com­mercials tempt you to buy and con­sume every snack because you are on the "consumable team"?

What type of game plan does the average America have for the four quarters of their lifetime? Do they know their strengths to exercise daily, abstain from certain foods, understand their weaknesses for "'comfort foods"? Are they developing skills regarding regular health check-ups and the ability to seek specialist when severe health issues occur?

How do we win this game of life? We know our opponents; dia­betes, heart disease, high blood pres­sure, etc.

There are concerns that youth

sports are designed to reduce com­petiveness; everyone get's a trophy! Many youth coaches are encouraged to teach their players that they may not win every ga~e bl;tl they can achieve personal victone.s b~ .J!er­forming to the best of therr ab1httes. Do we have a game plan for l?e~sonal victories Tegarding health or IS It &et­ting the trophy without expendmg much effort?

The four quarters of our life needs a game plan. H~alth and edpca­tion are extremely Important m a competitive world. Individuals who have developed skills, know their strengths and weaknesses usually are successful. They are successful in the business world, sports world and the game of life. They have a game plan and stick to it!

Over the last few weeks I have attempted to encourage our community to embrace the concept of creating a Sports and Fitness Center at the Golf Course. I have encour­aged our community to come up with a game plan.

You are invited to join with me and hopefully others, who would like to develop a game plan for the creation of a Sports and Fitness Center at the Golf Course, Thursday June 12th, Friday June 13th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Club House. Pick a time to come and share.

These CHAT SESSIONS will be held at the Club House at the Golf Course. The formation of an Ad Hoc Committee will be discussed as well as creating developmental teams for various activities, i.e., bicycling, run­ning, walking, pitch and putt golf, a fitness trail and other sports activi­ties.

Family Member Forces Murderer to Hear Her Anguish byM.E.

Sprengelmeyer The Communicator

ALBUQUERQUE -Nearly four years since a gruesome discovery on a ranch outside of Santa Rosa, there was finally a small measure of closure last week for the family of slain Oklahoma travelers Gary and Linda Haas.

At a federal courthouse in Albu­querque, some of the victims' loved-ones got a chance to speak directly to the convicted killer, John Charles McCluskey, before his formal sentencing to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

McCluskey was convicted as the trigger man who killed the cou­ple, after he and two accomplices had stolen their truck and travel trailer at gunpoint fol­lowin~ an escape from an Arizona prison. The trailer was later burned on a ranch northwest of Santa Rosa, with the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Haas inside.

A jury dead-

locked on the death penalty, which federal prosecutors had been seeking, based upon the wishes of the victims' family members. That meant McCluskey would be an automatic life sentence.

On June 3, U.S. District Court Judge Judith Herrera formally issued the life sentence, plu~ consecutive terms adding up to 235 years in prison. But first, McCluskey had to hear from family members like Linda Rook, sister of Gary Haas, who commented on the yel­low prison jumpsuit the shackled McCluskey had worn to court that day.

"You are appro­priately dressed today in yellow, the color of a coward," Rook told him, as part of a scathing address in which she spoke of how the loss of her brother had devastated their elderly mother, Vivian Haas.

"She had hoped to see this trial to the end, but the trauma and the stress has taken its

toll on her," Rook told McCluskey. She shared her mother's longtime lament, that McCluskey "took two lives but only has one to give."

Rook said that prior to the killings in August 2010, she had only seen her mother cry one time. ''Now she cries nearly every day."

She recalled her late brother's honorable military service in Vietnam, said he was a loving and caring per­son who went out of his way to help others. It was quite the contrast to the way she sees McCluskey, as a man who ''bullied" women and yet showed weak­ness, asking for help from women because he didn't have the fortitude to survive in prison.

Rook lives in the Joplin, Mo., area but has adopted Santa Rosa as a second home town following the killings. She had advocated the death penalty for McCluskey - and she reminded him of that in her face-to-face state­ment.

"You are a dis­grace to your mother, your family, society and

Rio Grande Sun ESPANOLA- Robert E. Trapp, one of the four founders of the Rio Grande SUN in 1956, died June 1, 2014 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Santa Fe. Per his req_uest, there will be no funeral services and crematiOn has taken place.

Mr. Trapp was born Sept. 21, 1926 in Del Norte, Colo., one of four boys born to Fay Braiden Trapp and Horace Greenley Trapp. He attended schools in Monte Vista and La Jara, Colo., gradu­ating high school from Pueblo, Colo.'s Central High School in 1944. Upon graduation, he joined the Army Air Corps, serving until his discharge in 1946. He had orders to go to the Japanese mainland invasion when the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

He attended the University of Colorado for three years, leaving to accei?t the position of reporter for the Alamosa (Colo.) Daily Courier. He subsequently worked at newspapers in North Carolina, Wyoming and Montana untill956 when he, his wife Ruth and friends Hollie and Bill Birkett started the Rio Grande SUN in Espanola. In 1960, Bob and Ruth became sole owners and remained so until 2012, when their eldest son became sole owner.

During his newspaper career, Mr. Trapp served as president of the New Mexico Press Association and president of the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors. He was a founding member of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government and served as its president.

Trapp received many writing awards dur­ing his 60 years in newspapers, mostly for his fire­breathing editorials and quick-witted columns. However, he also won many awards for strong news writing about topics most weekly newspapers refuse to touch, even today.

He was inducted into the New Mexico Press Association's Hall of Fame in 2000, was given the (Eugene) Cervi award for community newspapering by the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors in 1992 and the (Bill) Dixon Award for fighting for openness in govern­ment in 2002.

Mr. Trapp was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth, on Jan. 30, 2014, one grandson, James, and three brothers, Gordon, Dale and Kenneth.

He is survived by his daughter, Julie Ann Trapp, of Santa Fe; two sons, Robert B. Trapp, cur­rent managing editorofthe SUN, and James Trapp, of Buena Vista, Colo.; one granddaughter; two great-grandchildren; and six nephews.

Robert left behind a few thoughts about his more than 60 years in the newspaper profession:

Since 1956, I watched 12 individuals serve as governor of our·state. The only ones I trusted were Ed Mechem, Dave Cargo and Gary Johnson. Jerry Apodaca was OK. There were 13 men who occupied the White House as presidents of our country and only Harry Truman was worth a damn.

I was born a Democrat, over the years became a Republican and at the time of my death was a registered member of the Libertarian Party.

Why this political transition over the years? During World War IT, I served in the Army Air

The Winds of New Mexico WEATHER REPORT

by Tom McDonald ~y JEFF HAMMOND

This past weekend brought a rash oftornado watches and warnings over the eastern side of New Mexico, and more than a few tornados were reported. No one was killed- which is not only fortunate but typical as well, at least in the Land of Enchantment.

I grew up in Arkansas, in the heart of Tornado Alley, so I'm used to severe weather. But where I now live in San Miguel County, it's different. Here, there's an occasion thunder­storm, and every now and then we have hellacious hailstorms, but never do I remember a tornado.

But sure enough, they do hap­pen, as I discovered through an Internet search that directed me to The Tornado Project (tornadopro­ject.com), which includes tornado information going as far back as the 1800s, although the hard data appears to go back to the 1950s. The info is broken down by U.S. state and coun­ty, which makes for an interesting read.

In looking over the data, I came to realize that tornados aren't so rare in New Mexico after all. They!re just not as severe.

Since 1957, for example, Lea County has had nearly 100 reported tornados - the most of any New Mexico county - but most of them barely register in their intensity and damage inflicted. Only about a third of them were F-1 and F-2 tornadoes (F-5 is the strongest classification; those are the real killer tornadoes). Only one tornado in Lea County, on May 17, 1954, reached the intensity of an F-3. .

And statewide, I only found two other F-3 tornadoes - one in Grant County in 1957, the other in Harding County in 1977. Altogether, I counted five recotded deaths -two at Wagon Mound in Mora County in 1930, one a little south of Clayton in 1931, another at M~well in l964 and a fifth in Valencia County in 1974. .·

The last significant New Mexico tornado )Vas in July l996, when several homes and businesses were hit and five injuries (but no deaths) were reported.

So, while tornadoes hit New Mexico, they seldom do any signifi­cant damage, and even more rarely do they actual~y injure or kill anyone.

When 1t comes to the winds that blow through New Mexico, I'd say the state has more of a storied his­tory with dust storms. The infamous Dust Bowl of the 1930s certainly took its toll on New Mexico's grass­lands, with many a "duster" choking

Martinez, King attack each other's records SANTA FE -The general election campaign for governor has quickly got under way with Republican incumbent Susana Martinez and Democrat Gary King leveling almost identical criticisms.

Both candidates contend their opponent has accomplished little in office.

That's shaping up to become a dominant campaign theme in the months leading up to the November general election. King said at a news con­ference last week that Martinez has failed to deliver on her 2010 campaign promise to bring "bold change" to New Mexico. The state is losing jobs, he pointed out. ·

Meanwhile, Martinez campaign spokesman Chris Sanchez blasted King for his office's handling of public corruption prosecutions.

King defeated four other Democrats in last week's primary election for the gubernatorial nomination. -KSFRRadio

Representative looks into Albuquerque VA SANTA FE -A New Mexico congresswoman says officials at a Veterans Affairs medical center in Albuquerque reported that as many as 3,000 p~tients ~e as~igne-d·ttf a: 'dt>"ttbr who didh't actually see them. f

Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham said the officials told congre~sional staffers the practice was aimed at balancing too many patients and too f~w .Pri­mary care doctors at a facility that handled nearly 660,000 outpatient visits last year. They said the health of patients was monitored and those who need­ed urgent care were seen, but Lujan Grisham is seeking more information to determine whether the practice put any veterans at risk.

The disclosure of the patient pool comes as the Veterans Affairs Department grapples with allegations that secret waiting lists and delayed care sometimes led to veterans' deaths. .

Superintendent resigns, board begins search FORT SUMNER -The Fort Sumner School Board is sho~ping for a new superintendent after Nolan Correa announced liis resignation at a special meeting last week.

The resignation after 15 months on the job leaves the Board with its tOJ?. position open for the second straight spring. Correa replaced Patricia Mtller, who retired to the private sector following the 2012-13 school year.

The announcement followed a 90-minute executive session called "to discuss the superintendent's contract."

City manager search continues after rejections ESPANOLA -As Timothy Dodge fmally snubbed Espaiiola Mayor Alice Lucero's offer for the city manager position, her quest to fill that position has been met with more opposition.

Dodge, who was appointed by the city council to the city manager position May 13, with a salary offer of $110,000, has accepted another city manager position in Santa Rosa. This keeps Espaiiola's seat vacant for two years now.

Corps and along with millions of Americans was proud of the role our nation played in winning that one. We had been attacked at Pearl Harbor, fought back and won. Since then, the government has involved us in politi­cal wars - Korea, Vietnam, the Faulkland Islands, Iraq, Afghanistan. Thousands of our young men and women' have died m foreign wars, leaving us with national cemeteries scattered throughout the world.

We have become a warlike nation. Libertarians seek less govern­ment hoping this might result in fewer wars. The national pride we felt on winning Wodd War II has been washed way in the mountains of Korea, swamps of Vietnam and the mountains of Afghanistan.

The body bags are mute testi~ mony to a warlike philosophy, use of taxes and governmental mismanage~ ment.

To pay for all this, I am embarrassed to acknowledge at the time of my death, a national debt accumulated by our representatives

in Washington of trillions of dollars and so long as other nations are will­ing to continue to fund our foreign adventures, through buying our bonds, while we maintain a lifestyle we can't afford at home, this will con­tinue.

I grew up in the depths of the Great Depression. My mother raised four boys as a single parent, one still in diapers. If you needed something and lacked the cash to buy it, you went without.

It seems to me that when today's Americans want something and don't have the cash, they expect the ~ovemment to provide it. And prov1de it, it will.

I don't vote for very many winning candidates but my voting conscience is clear. Our country needs more people like Harry Truman and our oilier state could use some Ed Mechems, Dave Cargos and G~ Jolmsons. But, sadly, I see none of them standing in the wings, wait" ing to serve.

After Dodge passed on the position, Lucero then offered the city man­ager job to former Taos city manager Oscar Rodriguez.

"He was the second in line," she said. "They were very, very close. We just went back to the next person. He was the one with the highest score after Dodje."

Like Dodge, he is respectfully refusing Espanola's offer. "We just couldn't come into an agreement," Rodriguez said. "I'm sat­

isfiet\i that everybody was acting in good faith. I have no regrets. I would have loved to have gone there."

Questa mine permanently closed; 300 jobs lost TAOS - Chevron Mining has permanently closed its Questa molybdenum mine, citing low market prices and increasing operational costs.

The closure was announced at an employee meeting June 2. Mine offi­cials say the closure included about 300 layoffs. Employees will be paid and receive benefits for 60 days, as required by federal law.

"It's really an economic decision," said David Partridge, president and CEO of Chevron Mining, in an interview outside the mine's mill site.

Partridge said the Questa mine is nearly 100 year old, meaning the highest quality, easyto-get ore was extracted long ago. Recently-, the only min­ing in Questa was underground, which is expensive - both m terms of get­ting miners to the ore and getting it out to be processed.

In the face of stagnant market prices and increasing competition from other mines across the world, the Questa mine has become virtually obsolete, according to mine officials. Partridge said the fmal decision to shutdown was made at the end of April, when officials quietly began plans to announce the closure. ·

Last of original 29 code talkers passes away WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - Chester Nez, the last of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers, died June 4 in an Albuquerque hospital of kidney failure. He was 93 years old.

He is the third code talker to die in the past two months. He is only one of two code talkers - Carl Gorman is the other - to

write his memoirs. His book, "Code Talker," came out in 2011. Nez had continued to be active in promoting the code talkers up until

his last few months. He was scheduled to be interviewed in the next few weeks as part of a 30-minute documentary that was being done on his life.

Judy Avila, who helped Nez write his memoirs, said his death came unexpectedly. ·

Officials for the Navajo Code Talkers Association say there are about 35 of the 421 code talkers who are still alive. Most are in their nineties.

Born and raised in Chichiltah, N.M., and educated in a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school, Nez joined the Marines shortly after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He was immediately recruited to be in a new program to use the Navajo language as a code to fool the Japanese.

-Navajo Times Man arrested in hit-and-run; 2 children injured ROSWELL- Roswell Police arrested a man after he allegedly was involved in a hit-and-run vehicle accident that sent two children to the hospital.

Officers were dispatched in response to a hit-and-run accident with injuries. Officers were told the driver of a green Dodge Dakota pickup struck another vehicle and then left the scene.

After locating the vehicle, a Roswell police officer and a sheriff's deputy conducted field sobriety tests on the dr1ver who allegedly caused the incident, identified as Francisco Morales-Pesqueira, 55.

While the field sobriety tests were bemg conducted, officers learned two children involved in the accident were taken to a local hospital for injuries sustained.

The status of the children is unknown at this time. The field sobriety tests were not completed due to Morales­

Pesqueira's inability to stand, according to police. Morales-Pesqueira was transported to a local hospital. While at the hospital, Morales-Pesqueira was observed to urinate in the sink several times instead of the urine container given to him, according to police.

After being released from the hospital, Morales-Pesqueira was arrest­ed and taken to the Chaves County Detention Center, where he was incarcer­ated in lieu of posting a $5,000 bond.

"Unless someone is going to create a business and bring it in to Ruidoso, or bring it in to Lincoln County, I see little hope for success for this group."

Without mentioning the coun­ty's Business Retention Gross Receipts Tax, Lincoln County Commissioner Kathryn Minter said that she opposed any fonn of taxation that took money from the people and handed it over to a private enterprise

or individual. "There are so many people in

our county that have used their own dollars and their own sweat and blood to start their own businesses, and we don't support them as much as we need to,' Minter opined. ·

Taylor said that Quintana will continue to work on the development of a Lincoln County Economic Development Plan because it is part of what his job requires. Taylor and County Commissioner Dallas Draper said that they would attend the meet­ing set up by Miller and Corey to see what the organizers are proposing.

Psychic Predictions

Overall Psychic Predictions

For Week of: June 12 ·18

You might be feelin~ a little antsy ~bout right now ... Something is tellmg you that you need to move on and not only leave the past behind (which is always a good idea) ... to also start a New Beginning ... New people :people, J?laces and things are beckoning you. Your mner spttit is calling out loud and clear ... "Look at the new horizons ... Let1s pack up and leave ... Go Forth with Vigor ... "

IF ... this is what your inner soul is screaming ... then by all means ... pack up and go!

For the rest of you ... that feel "Trapped" in a situation you feel you can't leave because of lack of money or you just don't know where to go ... if you could go ... then pray about it. Every night, ask what you need to do... where you need to be ... when you need to do it... and most important ques­tion, "Why" ... Why do you need to do the things you need to do ... to feel alive again.

This is not the time to Fear Failure ... You are not going to fail... You're going to learn new ways to do things differently. This could save your life.

So you pack up and leave for a trip (keep this in mind) ... you can always come back (don't worry about what people will say... it1s none of their business anyway. This is your life ... you are the only one that can live it ...

The experience of leaving, starting a new life is priceless ... a journey into the soul... a new awaking.

Seek and you shall fmd... Knock and the door shall opened ...

For the ones that can1t actually leave phys­ically ... you can 11leave" by either writing that book you have inside of you ... (turn the TV off ... and the computer... and the phone) and dive into another world ... You have always wanted to do (fill in blank) . So start now!

No Risk ... No Reward.

God Bless You All. judi_ christopher@aol.com Psychic Judi L. Christopher

GEMINI: May 21 - June 20 So... are you hiding again? I didn't say you

weren't busy ... people can be all alone in a crowd, and still feel alone ... Are you all alone ... by yourself ... with your own thoughts? Is this working for you? Do you feel lonely, even when you are not alone? Well, it's not working, so lets get to the end of this chapter. You're needed and wanted else where ... Your talents are calling you! Go get your dreams and dust them off and do something with your life ... or forever lose them to your procrastination. CANCER: June 21 - July 22

You may not want to be alone, yet at this time it is recommended (for how long?) it's up to you ... How long will it take you to make up your mind about what you want, need and have to have ... people are waiting on you to make up your mind ... it's not fare to them, to hang on while you decide their future as well as your own ... This isn't the time to be selfish either. Let people, places and things go ... so they too can be hapP.y, if not at least... confused, and feeling abandoned while you're taking your time to make up your mind. LEO: Jul 23 -Aug 23

So ... are your plans that you planed a few months ago ... (or longer) ... is it coming about, or is someone still getting in your way? And if so ... what ate you don~ to do about it? If you're depending on this per­son for mcome ($$) or depending on a certain job or whatever, xet you're not content ... or hapyy ... then why are you still doing what you're doing, 1f these people,

places and things are not full filling you? You are a strong person ... Smart person ... sometimes even a little too coy ... remember what comes around, goes around .. , Karma can be your friend or your foe ... You chose. VIRGO: Aug 23 - SeJ.>t 22

If you're up to 1t, .. and ifyou want to ... and only if you put your mind to it ... This is the time to open the New Door to r.our life. Seriously ... take this serious! Your actions Will dictate to what you reap ... What seeds you plant and what 'weeds' you throw away will bene­fit you greatly later ... or could cost you dearly. If you play ... you pay. LIBRA: Sept 23 - Oct 22

You are living a strange and wonderful life (depending on how you see your life). If you only do one thing ... do this: Watch how you FEEL ... watch how :r.ou react to someone that makes you mad. Ask yow:­self, "Is it worth getting mad over something or some­one, that I can't change?" Use the free good energy to change what you need and want to change. This is the time for you to be hal'py, and you can, once you remove yourself from Negative people, places and things. You deserve better. SCORPIO: Oct 23 -Nov 22

You should be breathing a new fresh breath of fresh air ... if you're not. .. then why not? It may "Feel" stuffy all around you, because you need to open up the windows of life and let new rejuvenating energy in ... before the negative, stale air consumes you, and then it will be too late, because you're about to get used to this "Stale" way of life. Wake up and smell the coffee. New air ... maybe even a few new people would help. Throw out the stale (negative) people while you're at it SAGITTARiUS: Nov 23 -Dec 21

Because of what ha5 happened for the last cou­~le of months, you may have let some important things 'Slide" by ... Well, now is the time to clean up that mess and never let it go this long again. Your temper may be rising because you're flustered over things not being. done by other people ... this is. because you have got to be on top of your game ... this bas cost you time and money. "Straighten up and fly right!" ... Spring Cleaning starts right now. Time to make a BIG change in your life... Rip the band-aid off... real fast! The pain won't last as long. CAPRICORN: Dec 22 -Jan 19

It was once said a great person can not be great unless they do something great ... Which by who's stan­dards do they go by? Making a beautiful cake, might me easy to one persbn, while the richest man alive can only burn water. One person can write a best selling novel... ( so can you) ... a different story ... perhaps ... but it can still be a best selling novel. What are you waiting for? ... Your Fairly-God-Mother to come down and slap you on the butt, so you can be coxed to do something, that only YOU can do for yoursel£.. Heck NO! All the education in the world can't help you, unless

you want to do it... Your call... "Unleash the Hounds!" . AQUARIUS: Jan 20 - Feb 18

What have we here? You seem a little down ... why? ... Has someone hurt your feelings ... (again). Is it the "SAME" person you (allow) to hurt your feelings over and over again? ... Why? ... No, not why is this person hurting r.our feelings ... The better question is: Why are you st11l around this said person ... that keeps hurting your feelings? Do you like the pain that is being effected on you? Surly not! ... Soooooo .... why are you putting up ~ith the pain ... : ? Just asking .. , yqu must be ~ettmg somethmg out of th1s "RelationshiP. ' or Y.OU wouldn't be coming back for more ... How long is this going to go on? PIECES: Feb 19 - Mar 20

Your money could be better spent... if you knew where it was going. Giving out money like it grows on trees... can be costly. You1re digging yourself into a money pit... and when you fall in ... the people around you that you have been "pay­ing" ... will leave you high and dry ... You shouldn1t have to pay to be loved... unless you're (never mind). ... "Don't COUNT on friends, family or loved ones that use you for your money... Co­workers too! ARIES: Mar 21 - Aprll 19
