Manager wants more flexibility in purchasing Stewart to ask county commission to make procurement code change BY DIANNE STALUNGS RUIDOSO NEWS SMFF WRITER

Some projects could be handled for less money if Lincoln County's procurement code was in synch with the state code, County Manager 'Ibm Stewart said.

He'll ask county commissioners at their meeting Thursday to change the county policy.

"My procurement authority is limited to $5,000 without having to go out for formal bids. The state limit is $10,000," Stewart said. "It still requires that I call and g-et written quotes, but not formal advertising."

He cited the example of annual striping for lanes on Gavilan Canyon Road.

"Because I can get it on a state contract, it doesn't require RFPs (re-quests for propos­

ways the best deal," Stewart said. "They were

asking $12,000. I found a contractor who would do it for $6,000, but it was beyond my authority"

Luckily, Stewart was able to wait on the project until state contract equipment already was in the area, which eliminated the trans­portation and set-up costs and dropped the costs significantly, he said.

Similar situations come up almost weekly, the manager said.

"I talked about this at a prPvious comnus­ston meeting and tht>n' doesn't seem to be any dtsagreement," Stewart said. "All they have to do is vou• to change thP policy. They havp to say they trust the county manager a little more "

The commts~wn mPeting will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday in the commission chambers of the county courthousP tn Camzozo.

Newly elected Mescalero Apache leaders take their oath of office and appeal for a renewed sense of

Tribal unity

BY DIANNE STALLINGS RUIDOSO Nl:-utS SIAH WRJIER

Departing from the traditional swear­ing-in of new Mescalero Apache tribal coun cil members during a general assembly, four newly elected representatives took their oaths Friday inside the council cham­bers in front of friends and family.

But that didn't mean they weren't able to express their wishes for w1ity while ac­knowledging that the tribe is divided on is­sues.

Re-elected for a second term, Glenda Brusuelas thanked the voters who had con­fidence in her and expressed her hope for a new beginning for the council.

"It's evident there is dissension among our people," she said. "1b have unity, we

Although other new members received their oaths from Chief Tribal Judge Steven Wall, Brusuelas was swam in by Judge Alta Mae Branham

Oliver Enjady, who previously served on the cow1cil before being selected as tribal vice president after the death of President Wendell Chino in 1998, agreed with Brusu~las the council needs to talk about unity and "what that really means."

Board wants to clarify .restrictions on RV s BY jAMES KALVELAGE RUII>OSO NFWS STAfF WRnHl

Ruidoso's Planning and Zoning Commission will delve into the issue of people living m n'creation­al vehicles outside of RV parks.

Commission members Thesday decided to set the matter of further clarifYing existing codP for a public hearing. That cocle forbids RV s PX­cept when set up m an RV park.

Village planning and zoning ad­mmistrator .Joseph PatoskiP said the issue boils down to one of safe­ty.

"Our code enforcement would like something to go on," stud GlPn Barrow, commissiOn chatrman "Ba­sically we're looking to prohibit hv­mg in RVs in all areas."

Patoskie said the ordinance df'aling with RVs could better spell out the "living" in RVs Issue.

"We need to look at what other commumties do on parkmg or stor­ing RVs and hooking them up," said Commissioner Bill Hirschfeld. "It's hard to know If people are staying in the units."

Commissioner Mike Reveley said hts neighbor hooks up an RV when relatives visit to handle the overflow.

Barrow said the other side of the debate involves those who hook up an RV on their propPrty and usP It 12 months a year.

Silva said his home, on a 2-acre lot, is not v1si ble off the pro pert v.

Village planning and zoning ad· mimstrator Joseph Patoskie tossed out thP idea that the restriction on livin~ 111 RVs might be a lot size !SStH".

RE>vPley said he couldn't see how village code enforcement officers would Pver be able to enforce there­strictions.

ThP issue, dtscussed by the panel, will get further debate at a puhlic hearing expected to be sched­uled for the Feb. 20 commission meetmg.

Currently occupancy of RVs are allowed only in permitted RV parks.

The public hearing will consider language, potentially forbidding hv­mg in RVs in any zoned district E'X­cept for RV parks.

council in the past when he was removed along with former

, president Paul Ortega after only six months in office, he"s ready to let go of that feeling, Enjady said. While struggling to reestablish his credibility, he learned directly from tribal members "that our people are hurt out there."'

The well-known artist told council members~ "We need to grasp what they -stand fur, how they have grown up and how they suffer out there. We need to get the people involved. In­stead of them coming to us, we should be going to them to hear how they feel about programs and projects."

Tribal members must feel comfortable exercising their civil right to free speech with-out worry, he said. '

"Then we caD. step forward together so everyone can eat to­gether with what little we have," Enjady said. · 'Education is his main

focus, he said. With 106 Mescalero high school gradu­ates in college, the council needs to cb-eam about"economic development to provide jobs for returning college graduates. Those working today must not be afraid that those returning will take their jobs, he said. The tribe should use their edu­cated young people and their elderly to chart its future course, he said.

4.'m willing to work with you, if we talk to the people, " he said.

Alfred La Paz, former Bu­reau of Indian Affairs police chief, said he promised nothing but honesty to win his seat.

"I always believed in team work" from a background in law enforcement, he said. "I will take that approach here working on all of the different

,. concerns. I know it will be a good year."

Arthur "Butch" Blazer, who led the voting in his election to a second term, said he didn't jot down a speech "because Sara (Tribal President Misquez) said come prepared to work."

• Astigmatism and Contacts •

The problem with astigmatism is that the eye tends to be more oval than round. In the past, this has made it impossible for those suffertilg from this condition to wear regular, ~spherical contact lenses. There was no choice but to wear spectacleS dt1hard contaCt lenses.

Now. there has been a breakthrough in the design of soft cop.tact lenses for those with astigmatism. The new lenses are made to fit over the irregular curvature of the astigmatic eye. Like a raindi-op, these are flatter in one direction than the other. They are also weighted slightly at the bottom in order to maintain alignment to the eye. Many pre­scriptions are aviilable in disposable or daily wear lenses. Also, a wide variety of enhancing and opaQ1,1e colors are available.

''1bday, we're beginning to lose our way," he said. More emphasis is needed on personal responsibility, responsibility to each other, the tribe and the lands people take for granted, he !'laid. He urged parents to encourage their children to

He's proud that his primary project, a new kindergarten through 12th grade school com­plex, is under construction, but no'w it's time for a nursing home on the reservation.

"Fo:r 22 years I worked for the hospital and hauled resi­dents to different facilities and nursing homes/' he said. They would be happy on their visits back on the reservation and cry when they had to leave, he said.

Fire leaves couple without l'\.9me BY jAMES KALVELAGE RU/OOSO NF.WS STAFF WRITER.

Fire Tuesday gutted a Ruidoso mobile home, leaving a couple renting the dwelling without a home. · ·

The blaze, 'at 114 N. Willow Road, was detected about 12:39 p.m. by the owner, who had gone to the mobile. home to collect rent. No one was in the home at the time of the fire.

Ruidoso firefighter Spencer Baldwin said when the first firefighters arrived flameF; were already leaping frOm the dwelling through the roof around an air con­ditioning unit.

Although much of the fire was contained to a living room area, smoke damage occurred throughout the structure.

Baldwin said the renters said a heating

stove' was operating when they. left the home, and the television set may have been left on. ,

The origin of the blaze was determined to be in the area of the heating stove. An exact cause of the fb'e is still Under investi­gation, though heat from a fuel-fired deviCe was listed as the source of ignition. Furni­ture was determined to have been ignited by the heat.

·Eighteen firefighters were at the scene for more than an hour. Local representa­tives with the Rio Hondo Chapter of the American Red Cross were on hand to offer assistance to the two people who lost much· of their personal items. ·

A preliminary incident report stated smoke detectors were not present in the home.

Reidy said some 200 acres of forest lands south of Grind­stone are on this week's pr&­scribed burn agenda.

"Over the last two years we've been cutting back theN," Reidy said. "''t's little trees that

Help available in Ruidoso for older people battling depression BY DIANNE. 5TAUJNGS R.l'W0.\0 ..... J.WI ~TAFf WRITER

Although with age, the number of lossps in life increase - the loss of inde­pendence, good health and loved ones -it· isn't normal to feel depressed all the time. Most older people fEael satisfied with their lives, experts say.

But those who live under a perpetual cloud of doom now have a place to come for help, the Heritage Program for Senior Adults at the Lincoln County Medical Center.

The center opened in early December in a building north of the hospital on Sud­derth Drive, but an official open-house is set for from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. ThursdaY.

According to literature at the eenter, six out of every 100 people older than 65 suffer from clinical depression. The good news is that nearly 80 percent of those affected can be treated sUccessfully with medications, psychotherapy or a combina­tion of both.

· In the literature, clinical depres~ is described as "The darkest of moods. Feel­ing down and empty. Difficulty remember­ing. Many things just don't interest you anymore. Aches and pains that keep com­ing back.

"Depression that goes on and one for weeks and months, far more than the ordinary moods everyone experiences how and then and which will pass with a frl.end or a good movie. It also is more than a feeling of grief after l~i.ng someone yoU love.'"

Dr. Ben Passmore, a psychiatrist'orig­inally from San Antonio, 'lexas, who has practiced in El Paso since 1969, is medical director of the staff at the Heritage pro­gram and Carole Wall is office manager.

Passmore also handles all of the eval­uations, although group therapy sessiOns take plaee on days he's not at the center.

.

"We definitely needed a center here because Lincoln County has one of the highest suicide rates in the state, proba­bly in the country," he said. "The prolj!l"am here can provide individual, group and family therapy with the emphasis on group!'

The staff includes a registered nurse, two certified therapists and a counselor.

The goal is to Offer patients a chance to improve their quality of life by reducing

· their distress

"It's not easy for a person who is 70 or so· to ask for help. Their children often are more at ease with the idea."

Dr. Ben Passmore, psychiatrist

and by increas­ing their ability to function inde­pendently.

"We primari­ly treat anxiety and depression in the elderly, not cognitive impair­ment," Passmore explained. "If they can't remember, they can't use the psy-· chological thera­

peutic principals we stress." ' The time may be right to visit the cen­

ter if a person is experiencing symptoms that interfere with social, vocational or educational fwictioning, a r,erson hasn't benefited sufficiently with ess intensive outpatient. treatment and a person with declining mental health might require ~pa!ient care unless the treatment is pro­vtde<L '

The program also covers teaching pos­itive living skills and coping, grief andlo.!ls l:esolution, managing niedication, health

· and wellneos tt:aining and. leisure plan-. , cognitive'. stim~tion. reminiscence :.':f validation therapy, .~tionat infor­

in depression and anxiety. "A lot of people don't know how to cope

with losses, but they are inevitable as we get older," the psychiatrist said. "They try to go forward in the John Wayne tradition without dealing with it. We try to help them deal with it in a healthy way and to move forward with new relationships, establish a new life fur themselves.

"They also have to deal with issues of their own mortality."

Sometimes people come to the center on their own. Others are brought by fami­ly members.

«it's not easy for a per5(,lll who is 70 or 80 to ask for help," he said. "Their cbildren often are more at ease with the idea."

Group theraw is used because people begin to realize they have a need fur other people and the sessions can be interesting and fun, he iWif. ·

"They tend to be positive and upbeat," Passmore said. "'Tlui~s ·not to say they don't deal with real han! issues at time, but in a itive direCtion." F:.::Jl;" members are iricluded in the therapy where appi~, he said, but sometimes a paient n't want his or her cbild to be part of a discussion and confidentiality comes first.

All clients have their own medieal doc­tors, he said. A clillnt ctJuld attend sessions one day a week or five days for as much·as 15 hours of therapy a week, he said.

. RlJJDOSO "N§WS SPORTS. E.DITOII:

· .. The. Warriors made it look. e"asy in the · District 4AAA.opener against P-ortales Sat­urday, but coach· Billy Page wasn"t breath­ing ea~y after RuidOso's 66-58 win. . "Ifwe could.haye hit free throws, mayba 1t would have been real easy.~ he said. "I'm glad we were in the double bonus, because we mis.sed the front end of (our free throws)

. · almost every time, it seems." · Missing free throws appeared to be the only prqblem the Warriors had against ·.the Ranis. . ~ tenacious Ruidoso- defense kept

Portales off the boards until4:40 in the first quarter ap.d while. the Rams fotight ·back, pulling as ·close as four at times, they still trailed 14-9 after 'one quarter, 26-21 at the half and 45-36 after three. · . ·

Ruidoso waS "in the bonus by the fourth quarter and double bonus soon after_ and could have stretched the lead even more.·

But the Warriors were 17-for-34 over&n from the free·throw line, ·and 11-for-23 in the final stanza, while the Rams were ·24-

\ for-33 ovel"all, and missed only three of 17 in the fourth, keeping them in the D)atch.

Both coaches were pleased their teams didn't back down. ·

. "Our kids· k~pt their composure," P8ge · sa1d. ."They . kept · working hard. Even though we were missing ·free th['9WS, we hit Sdme .gQ9d- Shots when we needed them," . . . · .

. ··~ thoug}_l.t our kids did ·.a good Job of not qwttmg ·there at the end," said Portales coach Mark Gallegos~ "RpidoSo miSsed some free throws I thought were crucial lind we got some .looks at the basket and just couldn't conv.ert~" · · Gallegos also bad higb praise for· the· · :Warriors. . ·

"You've got to give kids like J.R. Floyd credit," he said. "They hit some really tough shots. I .. thought we plaYa~ some pretty good defense, but J .R. and Solomori

.. (Barnett) hits the shots at. the time they needed to ~and we just didn't get it done."

·Floyd led the scoring with 22 points, while Barnett tallied 16 and Jason Britt 11.

Fernando Gwnez had 13 for Portales and Rustin Self 11. · · · . ·

Gallegos thinks the outcome could be diffe"rent the next time the teRms meet. · "l know that. down the road when they come to Portales it's going to be a dog fight, and I think that's the way we w:ant it," he said "I think both of us are go~ to make ea~ other better:· in district pl8y. · .

· ·. Ruidoso's wrestlers had a · tough time in El Pa,sQ at the

· Bowie Invitational Friday and ·eaturday, only ·sending four Wrestlers to second:<lay. action Saturday.

l3ut· coach Jerrett Perry . said those four "rebounded;" with Patriek aodges finishing second 1;1nd David MeN ally fourth.

Placing two Warriors in the final four· was a big accom~ plis}unent, Perry said; Since Ruidoso had never placed any­one at the prestigioUs tourney. . Heavyweight Hodges_ . lost

. his first match of the 'season in the championship match, falling to Fabens wrestler Josh ~sas. . .

Rosas was 1,8-3 going into the match, and Wlli!J wrestling for the teain that- finished see­ond overall, 8() Perry wasn't dis~eased· with his heavy­weight's first loss.

· McNally,- 13/; pounds, fell to Ricardo Mirales of" Irvin in. the Consolation cham.plonship, ge1:tinji to that point with a win over Cobra's Rudy Rios ..

"He beat him. -handily," Perry· said. "'That kind of tells you where he's at .... He wres­tled with the best of the best. -He's a guy pt;!ople better Watch out for at state."

. 'lYe Phillips also saW action on. Saturday. but fell in semi­final round action, and David . McMillion was· scheduled to wrestle, but was pulled· becau&e of illnesS.

Ovel:al~ .the Warrior!; fin­ished 20th, and Perry said be felt OK about tbet. .

"It's a hell of a toUrnament. It's hqge," he said. "Overall, we did good. There were five matches we should have won and We didn't. If we wouid have won those five matches, we probably would. have been 11th or 12th."

The Warriors also wereri't in the best of physical shape going into the match.

"We were suffering from the flu .som;ething t~rrible,'"' Percy said. 'Th.e: flu got us. We're beat up. It's that time of ysar where we · start going through that kind of stuff. I think we're just going· to focus in on the next week or two on getting better.'"' ·

When the final buzzer rang, Artesia had taken a 45-43 win, hot not before Ruidoso had given the small hot vocal crowd all the. action it could handle.

Even Artesia coach. "I am so proud Billy Mondragon said the of these girls outcome should bave been Th . · different. • ey gave tt

"Ruidoso really played everything they well ·and th"l really had " ·

· deserved to win, he said. · "'!'bey outplayed us." Albert Ronqulllo,

Thiit was e~y the c:oac~ case early, as the Warriors took advantage of numer- . OilS shots trom the free-throw line to lead 14-7 after one quartc!r.

But Ruidoso only lll8118l!ed one basket from the field - by Justyn Vogel - in the second quari:el; and went into the locker room down 22-21. .

Ruidoso again turned things around in the third, holding the Ladydogs to· two field goals and a pair of•ftee throws to take a 31-28 third quarter lead. . . '

But with 1:40 )ell; in the game, Stephanie Clark tOok advantage of Carrie Line's 6fth foul - sending her to the benCh - to hit a pair of free throWs and put Artesia up by <me.

From then on, it was all Artesia eXcept for a S-pomter with· 3 secoilds left.by Mindy Brunell that closed the gap to two.

A hoarse c:oach Albert Ilnnquillo couldn't -contain his excitement after the ~e. ·

The difference, Mondragon -said, was Arte­sia!; experience and 6-foot-2 Ladydog Clark, who Ronquillo called a Division I !;'layer.

"'We did our job on her, she JUSt got some shots," the Warrior c:oach said. "Ccniple of dther girls I wasn\ expecting to hit a shot here, a shot lhere. And that's just bow it goes." ·

Clark led all scorers with 27 points while Line hit 17 for Ruidoso.

year, was totally healthy. As for the rest, "We didn't

play like we're capable of play­ing/' he said. "I think we did have some people who had some pretty good gam.es. Once the nerves got by her, Rhian­non Alirez had a real good game handling the pressure. She could pretty much dribble where she wanted to. And what makes that. more remarkable than anything

. else 'is the type of man-to-man defense Carrizozo is capable of playing. I think Rhiann.on had

. a wonderful game.· As far as the" others we put on the floor, we had a lot of mental mis­takes."

The Grizzly starters saw limited action in the game, coming out at the start of the first and third quarters, get­ting CaNizozo ahead. by 10 points, then sitting while the bench got experience.

Even though the game­was mostly one·sided, 'Zozp coach Mel Holland said his squad got something out of it.

"We did some 'things we · wanted to accomplish," he

said. "We worked on a· new defense and we worked a new zone offense. It h~lped us."

'

Besides Alirez, Lightfoot said Marilee Brown also ''had a good game.'"

Delia Gonzales, who led the Cardinal scoring with 10 points, kept the Cardinals in the match with perfect 6·for·6 free-throw shooting, but because she was suffering from the flu, wasn't able to force ehough fouls to add . to that number. .

Christa Franck led the Grizzly attack with 12 points and Aerial Vallejos had 10. Eight of 11 Grizzlies put the ball through the hoop.

Boys Vaughn 86, Corona 77 The Cardinals C0-9, 0·2)

came into Friday's district opener vs. Vaughn hoping for revenge after a loss to the Eagles at the BVC Touma· ment in December.

But while Corona played what coach Ronnie Dunsworth called "by far our best game of the year," the Cardinals couldn't overcome the hot shooting of transfer student Eric Lozano, falling 86-77.

Lozano, who transferred back to Vaughn after a stiilt in Albuquerque, hit three 3-poin'ters in a two-minute span in the second quarter, putting the Eagles on top and forcing Corona to play catchup ..

And the Cardinals never could overcome the difference.

"Overall, it was a very good effort,". Dunsworth said, predicting a different outcome in Corona.

"I think when they come to our place it11 be a .different story, I think,'" he said.

For Cardinals scored in ·double figures, led b)r·Drew

Bagley with 30, Victor Perez 19, Albert Sanchez 14 and Chauncy Jinks 10.

Andres Aguilar led the Eagles with. 33 points, while Lozano had 26 and 'Ibm Burr 10.

Carrizozo 64,, Corona 49 The -Grizzlies (4-10, 1-0>

earned their first district vic­tory with a 64.-49 w~n over the Cardinals Saturday.

CorOna came out hot, j":lmping out ~ an 11-7 edge early in the first q~er, but a 3-pointer by leading scorer Brandon Langley (25) put 'Zozo on top.

FroPl then until em-ly in the second half, when the Grizzlies took a lead they wouldn't relinquish, the score went back· and forth.

Perez put the Cardinals up with two minutes ]eft in the second quarter, then Adam Means' tied it up before Bagley hit a free throw to give Corona a 27-26 edge goirig into the lOcker room ..

Then the wheels fell oft for Corona.

CarrizozO outscored the Cardinals 16·8 in the thitd quarter and neVer looked back.

"We just seemed to nm out of gas," Duns.worth said. "I guess from the Vaughn game. We just got away from ~urgame."

Although the Cardinals were getting the shots, the ball just. wasn't going in the hoop, lll)d both coaches agreed that a defensive change by Carrizozo made a big differ­ence.

~We changed defense on them, and I think that both­ered them a little bit," Hol­land said~ "We played·

. smarter. y./e didn't just keep throwing ·the thing away."

"They went to a box and one and took away Albert (Sanchez), so that kind of hurt us," Dunsworth said. "We did­n't seem to adjust to that."

Dunsworth, whose team is still Jookitig .fOr its· first victo­ry of the season, seemed dis­appointed, but ready for a rematch in Corona.

"We took sQme pretty good shots, they just weren't .. falling," he s·aid. "The kids · still played hard. We just had an off night."

Besides Langley, others scoring in double figures were Chris Margis wi"t;h 14 and Means, 10; · Cardinals Sanchez, 17, Bagley 16 and -Perez 11.

SCOOP BY DIANNE STALLINGS RUIDOSQ NEW§ STAFF niJE'R

It seems no matter how many breeds I'Ve listed ftom Judith Hal­liburton'S book, "Raising Rover," somebody is disappointed because_ I missed their particular foilr­legged friend.

The best way to CfUoy the in­formation is to order her book for $23.95 ftom SL Martin's Press, bot ru work a few more in for this week'S colwnn.

• Greyhoond - A hlDlter bred to bring down wild boar,. deer and mbbits, their speed is dazzling. .They don't bark or whine to go outside, so Halh"burton suggests putting bells QD dte door handle Trained to run. expect them to cre­ate a traek through the back yard and bouse that they run at least once a dsy. They may fear open

· spaces or going through doors be­. caUse of years in ·a kennel, if they are retiRd racers. Be geotle They are oatumlly reserved dogs.

· • Beagles also are bred to hunt, but smaller game like pheas­ant, Jabbits, quail and fux.

Halliburton ~s t)ley are one of the hardest breeds to house­train.

••rm convinced that part of the r.roblem is the fhct tbst tl:iey don t have a serious bone in their hyper bodies," she wr6te,

Beagles have enetgy to the eighth power and should never be latchkey dogs, she warns. Her gen­eral advice is if 81;1 owner is gone routinely for more than four hours at a time, he Should have two dogs. Ifleft alone longer, a Beagle could. become a fence jumper or serious digger.

The author says, .. This dog will be the joy of your life and your cross to bear;'.' · ·

• Miniature Schnauzers can be good mousers and always will guard tenitory. Honsetraining gen­erally goes smoothly by keeping verbal diseipHne quick and to the point. Too much emphasi$ on dis­cipline could mean a major battle.

· '"These little ones are bom thinking they are the number one

·dog of the Western World," Hal­liburton wro1e.

. They're high enOigy dogs who usually get along well with chil­dreD. - at least, the children in their own household

• Maltese wCt:e bred to be car~ ried and pampered. They ate vety clean dogs, however, the house­training process can become COJD~ plicated if he doesn't ~ your backyard. He's not likely to go outside if its raining or snowing.

Of all the so-called .. sleeve" dogs, .Halliburton considers the Maltese the sweetest. They b&ve long lives, are affectionate, devot­ed and adorable.

• Norwegian Elkhound - A vety old breed, Elkhounds still are in some places to hunt elk. They seem to bousetrain faster if only one person is handling the job.

"This dog has the unique trait of treating humans as individuals," she wrote. '"He seems to know who likes to be licked and who doesn't."

They have gentle souls .and a very mild manner.

WHY SELECT A GROUND TOURfa As your American Express Travel Representative, we work with a

very select group of preferred tour companies. These companies are reliable, dependable and

have been chosen because of their reputation

and quality products. The most traditional of lour products is the ·

ESCORTED TOUR. Escorled tours do have cerlain

common elements: Group travel (generally by motorcoach, sometimes by ship or train); Set

itinerary (with lodging, activities (including free time), and most meals included); Tour director (to

coordinate, guide and manage the trip.) like escorted tours, PACKAGES tend to have

fixed itineraries, with ground transportation and hotels booked in advance. But like independent travel, there's no organized group- i.e. you're free to do what you want, when you want at each destination. Package travel is especially popular with firsf.time visitors to foreign cities as it provides the most hassle-free arrangements possible, allows you Ia make good use of your time and is generally the least expensive way to go.

Completely opposite from group travel is

FOREIGN INDEPENDENT TRAVEL- or as we call it in the industry, FIT. With this mode of

travel, you will enioy the following benefits: No

group, guide, or fixed itinerary unless you want one. Yet by having us arrange your itinerary

through one of our preferred tour operators,

you will have the benefit of group buying

power- but without the group.

hiqhllqhts Seeing erica E~ BBRGf by Sara McKnight

In October I joined a group of friends and took a trip on the "River Borge" on

the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.

Our vessel was really two barges

joined together to provide ample cabin

space and a large dining room. We enjoyed .spacious recreation areas below

and atop the barges. We learned that we

were on a "true" barge, i.e. we were

"pushed by a low boot". Dining was always a highlight of the day, as we could

choose between delicious continental cuisine or enjoy good old American "cook in". My favorite meal was fried catfish with hush puppies and

turnip greens ... topped off by Creme Brule! How's that for "mixin" it up? Sealing is open in the

dining room, giving you a chance to meet some new friends. The crew was oil young Americans,

friendly and willing to help in any way.

If you ore looking lor o

truly unique 11Americon"­

vacation, in comfortable

surroundings, take the

R1verborge, 1t covers many

of the America's

waterway~

Our entertainment fit the region- Blue Grass music, Jug Bands,

Country Western singers, plus lectures on river lore. We realized,

"first hand", how important these mighty rivers were and are in

providing transportation of goods and people over the centuries. The American scenes along the riverbanks thrilled us with so many trees,

all wearing their brightest colors. We stopped along the way to visit

various river towns, beginning in St. Louis, where we docked just below the Arch. Towns along the way, which had been dots on the

mop, became real ... Henderson, louisville, Paducah, and Cape

Girardeau were all exciting slops.

Being on the top deck early in the morning, with a cup of coffee in my hand, to see the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers was an unbelievable experience for a "desert rat"

like me. We ended the cruise in Cincinnati, truly living up to its name, "The Queen City".

So if you are looking for a truly unique "American" vacation, in comfortable surroundings,

take the River Barge-it covers many of the America's waterways.

1 When the Scottish-born naturalist, John Muir, first sow Glacier

Bay in 1880, he described Alaska's.magnificent glaciers as "lofty

blue cliffs, looming through the draggled skirt of clouds". Muir was probably one of the first-and certainly most articulate-visitors

from the lower 48 to "wax so eloquently about Alaska's great

rivers of ice". And no molter how many limes we've been to

Alaska, these spectacular rivers of ice and the breathtaking beauty of this Great land continue to lure us back-again and again.

Today, thousands of. us descend on Alaska each year to

marvel at its 1 00,000-plus glaciers. The glaciers, in addition to

Muir's Glacier Boy, include the mighty Columbia Glacier- a moss of ice that spreads over an area almost as large as los Angeles!

Columbia Glacier was named after Columbia University by a

scientific expedition in 1899. This expedition, sponsored by the

railroad boron, Edward Harriman, also left behind other Ivy league gloicer names such as Harvard and Yale.

Even though you can see glaciers in the "lower 48" (-e.g ..

Montano, Washington, and Wyoming!, it's been said that "none

con hold an ice ax to Alaska's in size and activity." That's why

Alaska's glaciers-ever growing and ever shrinking-are called

"living ice"

Thankfully, Alaska's glaciers were created to be seen and

enjoyed. Some four dozen have been identified with such vivid

descriptions as resembling "fingers of a giant snowman reaching

right down to the sea, between the Alaskan Panhandle, up to the

Kenai Peninsula, and south of Anchorage."

To see these dramatic and ever-changing fields of ice is just

one of many reasons to plan a visit to our lost Frontier.

Spectacular scenery, magnificent wildlife, unique and interesting

cultures, and so much more will make your vocation to Alaska a

trip to remember for a lifetime! Call us and we'll make all the

arrangements.
