A homeowner in UpperCanyon, Ben Mason, wasone of the task force memo'bers, Mason sued anotherowner of multiple houses inhis area that were beingused for nightly rentals. Heargued the use was commercial and disruptive toan established residentialneighborhood. However, adistrict court judge ruledthe use of the houses wasresidential. The actual"business" of booking andmoney exchange is a commercial activity and thoseactivities usually do notoccur at the house, especially if the unit is handledby a property manager.
Mason told councilors hestill opposed using an over-

Rebstock said with amayoral election scheduledfor early next year, someone working in an at-willposition may be reluctantto come in on what could bethe tail-end of one administration transitioning intoanother.
In making his motion.Cory observed that the lack,of unanimity on the councilgives some support toHardeman's arguments.but he still wanted to postpone selecting a recruitment firm Rebstock speertied that the advertisements should be placed inlocal and regional publications. as well as trade Journals and with organuanons such as muiucipalleagues.

New rules to regulatenightly rentals inRuidoso were ap
proved Tuesday by villagecouncilors.
The ordinance createsan overlay zone that willallow such rentals in allresidential areas, establishes a requirement forfire safety inspections,standardizes placement offire extinguishers, sets upan annual permit fee andmandatory registration,requires notification toadjacent neighbors andpayment oflodgers tax andgross receipts taxes. Threepolice citations within oneyear for excessive noise,garbage, occupants or othernuisances or disruptionswould void the permit for anightly rental house.
Councilors stipulatedthat the ordinance and itseffectiveness will be reviewed by the NightlyRental Task Force afterone year.
The new municipal lawpassed 4-2 with CouncilorsMichele Rebstock and DonWilliams voting against themotion to approve offeredby Councilor Ron Hardeman.

The village alone cannot provide a satisfactory solution for asecond road in and out ofUpperCanyon. It does not have theland to widen Main Road, createsafe zones, or provide for a secondroadwithout majorindemnification ofprivate property. It issafe to assume Ruidoso cannotsolve the problem without arequestto use U.S. Forest Land.
Forthe past 10yearsthe term"expert" has beenloosely usedtobolster minimalist arguments fornot providing an alternate escape route for Upper Canyon. Itis time to take a broader viewand listen to residents and visitors who know intimately theproblems facing Upper Canyon.Experience has clearly shownthat MaiIi Road is inadequate asthe only escape route. It is a dangerous and unworthy hypothesisfor alleged "experts" to suggestotherwise.

Shortly thereafter, SmithEngineering ofRoswell waspaid$70,000 to engineer an alternative escape route from UpperCanyon, nottogive an opinion asto the advisability of the plan.This company hasnoexpertise infire safety management, yet itmade the "No Build" recommendation that a secondary routewas not needed and that MairtRoad could be fixed.
Avillage employee stated thatexperts from the U.S. ForestService, New Mexico State ForestryDivision, and the BureauofLand Management are opposedto building the road. Not true!New Mexico Forestry Divisionwascentrally involved in the Citizens' Conunittee proposals andactively GPS mapped the suggested routes. It is unlikely that'the State of New Mexico wouldhave granted $475,000 towardthe creation of a second escaperoute without the reconunendationofState Forestry and a stated priority request from theVillage ofRuidoso.

To the editor:AT THE EMERGENCY manage
ment town hall meeting of Jan.21, a Village of Ruidoso spokesman said several times that hewas "out of experts" and "allexperts agreed that carving outanother road to exit the canyonwasnotfeasible." Toassume thatthe Upper Canyon Citizen Escape Route Committee's recommendations regarding possiblealternate routes were made without expert advice is absurd, Foranyone to suggest a second escape route is not feasible is nonsense. We landed a man on themoon.
In 2004, the Wildland UrbanInterface group created theGreater Ruidoso Area Community Wildfire Protection Plan.Incredibly, this plan totallyignored the need to consider theinherent fire danger facing residents living in box canyons. Thesame year, the National FireProtection Agency addressed
!Emerging Issuesin Wildfire Protection - When Wildfire Threatens: Should Residents Stay OrEvacuste? It pointed to the "criticalneed forevacustion ofamplepassage along escape routes."Where were the experts then?
In 2006, Village Council madean escape route for Upper Canyon residents a priority. As aresult, the State of New Mexicoawarded the village a $475,000grant for the purpose ofcreatingthe road.

how someone, voted, you canask him or her why.
Opponents also argue thatopening conference cominitteemeetings would lengthenthem. But the publicwouldn'tbe allowed to comment, onlytoattend and observe, so theonlyfactorirrlongel meetingswould be the legislators themselves.
In fact, there is no significant evidence that these orany other predicted dire consequences have been a problem in the 43 states thatalready have some form ofopen conference committees.
Opening conference comrnittees to the public was arecommendation in the 2007report of the independentEthics Reform StudyCommittee co-chaired by former Gov. Gary Carruthers.The legislation actuallypassed in 2007 until someSenate maneuvering led toreconsideration and defeat,both by one vote.
During the debate, one senator said the press only wanted open conference committees SL they'd have somethingto write about. Such a comment raises the question thatif there's someone goingon inconference committees worthwriting about, shouldn't thepublicknow what it is?
AB this is written, two openconference committee bills situnheard and unscheduled inthe Senate Rules Committee Rep. Joe Cervantes' HouseBill 393, which has alreadypassed the House 66-0, andSenate Bill 150, sponsored bySen. Dede Feldman, whichhas languished in the committee since the session opened.The fact that half the members of the Senate RulesCommittee have been consistent opponents of open conference committees could be afactor.
The members of the Housemade it clear by their 66-0vote that it's time for NewMexico to join the vast majority of ststes that open theirconference committees to thepublic.
If you believe in government transparency, if youbelieve that laws should bemade in the open and not insecret, please send that message to your senators.

Open up conferencecommittee meetings- Guest editorial by Dana L. Bowley -

Ainyone who pays attention to the Legislature
as had this experience:Differing versions of a billpass the House and Senate;the bills go to a conferencecommittee; the bill that comesout is substantially different
----trl>I'!rthetwo"tlmt wentin. -What happened? Hard to
tell. Why? Because NewMexico is among a handful ofstates that close conferencecommittee meetings to thepublic. So what? Depends onwhether you want government to conduct business inthe open or behind closeddoors.
The perception is that conference committees "reconcile"differences between versionsof the same bill. In fact, theyhave considerable power tocraft, legislation. While jointlegislative rules say the conference committee can't alterthe bills that cometo it "unlessthe item has been the subjectof a legislative committeehearing during the session,"that's pretty broad language,Nearly anything discussedduring a committee hearing
.can become part of a conference committee's final bill,including ideas that wererejected or ideas brought upsolely for the purpose of preserving them for later use inconference.
But when the final billcomes out of conference committee, the House and Senatemust adopt or reject it as presented - no changes.
'rnat's how conference committees can and do make lawin secret, circumventing thedemocraticprocess.
Conference committeeskeep no minutes and thewhole process is conducted inanonymity. The only peoplewho know what happened inthe locked room are the threesenators and three representatives on the committee, andthey're not talking lest theyface retaliation.
All we know is that somehorse-trading occurred, butwe don't know what horseswere traded or who tradedthem.
Opponents argue thatopening conference committees to the public would drivethat horse-trading furtherunderground, implying itcould somehow become moresecret than it already is. Butopening the meetings createsopportunity for shining light,on those underground deals.With open conferencecommittees, the six members wouldat a minimum have to vote inpublic. And once you know

the herd.Aswe make these choic
es and state our intentionsthen we can attract thosethings that will bring usinto harmony and balance.'
This is where we consciously choose health andwellness; we are not struggling against anything.. It works best to focus onwhat you want rather thanon what you do not want.
"Living medicine is aparadigm shift that goesbeyond the scope of complimentary and/or alternativemedicine by reuniting theArt of Medicine and theScience of Medicine and bychanging the focus from thekilling of disease to thegrowing of vibrant, wholepeople who are distinctfrom the disease processesthey experience." - DrGladys McGarey
How do we grow vibrantwhole people? Or morespecifically how do yougrow your self to be vibrantand whole?
Suggestions are:
• get plenty of sleep andrest;
• physical exercise 30minutes three times aweek;
• meditate daily;• eat only food (real
food);• Avoidhighly processed
foods and artificial sweeteners. Stevia is ok.
• Enjoy at least fiveservings of fruits and vegetables daily;
• Avoid soda drinks;drink at least 10 glasses ofwater a day. .
taking antidepressants atany given time and that atleast another 20 percent"need" antidepressants.
Seniors do not Usuallyuse street drugs but may beabusing prescription medicatiotiS:-' '
Why are we so unhappy? Why does the pursuit ofhappiness elude us?
Could it be that we arebombarded with commercials that tell us that weare not ok and that we needtheir product to be OK?
We buy their productonly to find out that we arestill not ok and need a bigger purchase and we areeven then still not OK,leaving us even moreunhappy than before.
Why not get high on liferather than look to thingsoutside ourselves to makeus happy.
Happiness is an insidejob.
What is your passion?What is your vision, yes itis never too late to have apassion and a vision. Whatis your purpose in life?
Are you being of service,first to yourself and then to
. others?Is there meaning to your
life? Find the answer tothese questions and yourhappiness quotient will goup.
Take some time forintrospection. There isalways the choice to ageconsciously or unconsciously, to be awake or asleep.
When we are consciouswe can make some conscious choices on our ownbehalf rather than follow
we can enjoy your years ofwisdom?
So, how do you take careof your body, mind andspirit to maintain healthand wholeness?
First, make ~ choice,state an intention to behealthy.
Then do whatever ittakes to bring your self intoa state of balance and har
. mony, for when the body isin balance and harmony itwill heal itself.
In our Western cultureit can be difficult to find thetime and space to do so.
It-ean be a challenge toget to that space but onceyou do it is so wonderfulthat you want to be theremost of the time.
How do you get there?There are many paths.You might consider TaiChi, yoga, meditation, contemplative prayer, labyrinth walks, or spendingtime in nature.
Be in nature and beauty,connect with MotherEarth, turn off the TV andgo outside.
Being still without interruption and disturbance isa beginning.
Watching the news,especiallyjust before you goto bed can be upsetting,putting you into a state ofagitation or fear.
The news is just full offear, sensationalism, andnegativity. It is unlikely toadd to your peace andlongevity.
Life is the pursuit ofhappiness and yet clinicalmedicine reports that 20percent of Americans are
ture where there is anemphasis on being young,beautiful and thin, this canbe a challenge for all of us.
We may need to unplugthe TV and other mediathat uses the young andgorgeous to sell us "stuff"that -we do not even needand can not even use.
I have heard it said thatit takes us until the age of60 to acquire wisdom sowhy not take care of ourhealth and wellness so that

this boy finally realizedhis.head.waabobhing tothe raucous, near-deafening clamoring of some nondescript,contemporary"vocalist."
The ring announcer,Mike Adams, helped tobuild the drama withresounding enunciations ofthe incoming combatants •and introductions of thenecessary ringside personnel.
Something ~eemedfamiliar. And then I realized what it was. It waslike some Las Vegas-styledWWF event you see onTV. Only, in this case, thegladiators on stage weren'tfaking it. It was real combat. It was the completepackage. .
The promoter, King ofthe Cage (KOTC), is obviously adept at stagingthese events. I wasimpressed with the splitsecond efficiencyof the referee in the ring.
He made instant decisions on TKOs and tapouts, saving the participants any further harm.
They called me a fewdays later and asked ifIwas satisfied with myseating.
"Are you kidding," Ireplied. "I used part of thering as my desk to takenotes and I was able toshoot pictures between the
.holes of the fencing. Icould clearly view the fansand watch the happeningsaround me. Being able towitness everything in a360-degree format makesfor a more complete story.Thanks,"
Look,you may believecage fighting, boxing andthe like are anachronisms,or worse yet, atavisticanomalies that date backto the cave man.
But still, they are legally sanctioned sports likehunting, skydiving, et. al.Just as alcohol, smokingand gambling abide, so dopugilistic events. I'veevenheard of runners sufferingheart attacks duringmarathons and yet, nearlyeveryone calls it a healthypursuit.
Hey, Im not a hunter,nor have I ever been, but rdon't begrudge those whoare.

When my friends wouldyell over at me. "Mikey,you're a bum," I knew theystill loved me.
There they were -politicians,crooks,police,b90kmakers, lawyers,ne'er-do-wells, has-beens,up-and-comers and losers- all together under oneroof. Youjust never knewwhat was about to happen.
And the nightly entertaimnent was not just inthe ring, but all aroundyou. I viewed it all inwide-eyed wonderment.
Last Saturday, Iattended the cage fights atthe Inn of the MountainGods.
Last year I took in asimilar event at theOonvention Center inRuidoso. It was OK, butnowhere near like my "olddays" in "da Burgh." Andso I didn't really knowwhat to expect.
I showed up early to getmy ringside press credentials. Goodthing. I waitedpatiently for an hour or so.Finally, after I continuallyshowed a pseudo nonplussed attitude, the eventmanager gave me my ownseat at ring-side.
r thinkhe finally realized I was one of them,merely masquerading as ajournalist, and let me jointhe anointed few aroundthe stage of combat. (OK,OK, so that probably isn'ttrue, but let me have adream, too.)

Shafts of morning light sift through stained glass windows casting colorfulshadows on the sanctuary. Outside, bells chime; inside the pipes of amightyorgan reverberate with their prelude to the hour of worship. Those entering arefilled with the glory of God and a peace that passes all understanding.
The same glory and peace are present in every form of worship service, inevery type of hOUSi! of worship. When we enter into worship, God's comfortingand encouraging omnipresence instills in us the strength and assurance we willneed in the coming week, creating a buffer zone between us and the stress ofdaily life.
"Ascribe to the Lord the-glory due his name...worship the Lord in thesplendor of his holiness" (I Chronicles 16:9). Worship in God's House this week,

Q. During a service; our.pastor pointed out that
pre-printed letters addressedto our govljrnment representatives had been placed inthe pews. He urged everyoneto sign them, urging 11 courseof action that probably mostwould endorse as the moralalternative.
Acknowledging thatalmost half the worshipperswere snowbirds, however, hedidn't encourage these visitors to contact their own eongressmen/senators about theissue.
He even mentioned thatthe opinions of constituentsinfluence politicians, withthe understanding that theFlorida-polls-wl}uld-itssumeall signees were voters intheir district.
Am I on the side of rightby feeling squeamish that hedidn't urge snowbirds to contact their own representatives, instead ofurging themto pass as Florida voters?

There's no problemwithyouor anyone writing to any publicofficial about someissue facingthe country.
I'm always defendingtheright of religious folks to influence publicpolicy based on theirunderstanding of the moral,
issues we face as a nation. Theseparation ofchurch and statenever meant, and should nevermean, that the only people witha right to express themselvesinthe public square are those whocan provethey're atheists.
The Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. argued for civil rights legislation based on his beliefthatracial discrimination was notjust wrongbut also a sin againstGod.
However, there is a problemin the case ofyour zealous pastor.
Housesof worshipare granted tax exemptionwith theunderstanding that they won'toperate as political action committees for specific candidates.- -If-they-de-se.they-canlose 'their tax-exemptstatus.
If the pastor was just tryingto fire up congregantsabout amoraloutrage, that's fine, legaland unobjectionable.
If,on the other hand, he wascompelling listeners to endorse acandidate's run for office, he wason thin legal ice.
If you feel strongly about themoral issue he raised, write yourownletters to your ownrepresentatives and to the Floridapolls, but clearly state your placeof residence.

The five foolish virgins were not prepared.
The 13th verse basically saysthat weshould be prepared
becausewe do not knowtheday or hour of Christ'sreturn.
The latest report statesthat "some teen" percent ofAmericans have no religion.
In a previouscolumn, Imade the point that everyone
has a "religion."Whatever beliefsystem
youare committed to is yourreligion. So, everyone has a"religion."
What the survey reallystates is this. "More and moreAmericans are abandoningChristianity."
The disregsrd for God. His WordandHisSonis a growing plague in Americaand the world. Noone knows the dateand time ofJesus' return. More andmore people will not be prepared.
Backin the 1980's, a well meaningChristian wrotea bookcalledEighty·eight Reasons Why Christ Will Returnin 1988. WeI!. Jesus didn't. and the nextvolume was titled Eighty·nine ReasonsWhy Christ Will Return in 1989.

There is one "beprepared" item thathas been around for a lOIig, longtime.Jesus is coming back!

That led to spending the nexthour trying to get this wildCorriente through the strippingchute at the other end of arena.
This went on the better partof the night, as longas the beerheld out anyway.
The next report from Robbywas, "We never caught a one ofthose little jackrW>bit s.o.b.s,"
Nevertheless~ey had to getup and leave early that morningto get to Gatesville, the firstrodeo of their four-rodeo run.
they headed offto the rodeothatweekend. Both ropers couldheadand heel, although any successon either end of the steer wasmerely a coincidence. '
The local rodeodrove thatpoint home as they quicklyearned no-time and rode out ofthe arena with only the crowd'sapplause for a reward. That initself was fuel for the fire andthe rodeofever thermometerjumped up seriously.
They disappeared offthe practice circuit for a few weeks, perhaps licking their no-timewounds.
Resurfacing in a flurry ofphone calls to find a ropingarena and cattle they coulduse,the duo admitted to enteringfour PRCArodeosand even theythought they should maybe practice a little.
With the roping chute brokeat their usual practice arena anda continued story of"don't haveany steers" everywhere else theycalled, they went to plan B.
The localroping steer contractor told them he had some cattlethey couldlease. He warned
needed to enter up and maketheir friends proud. '
Having'not spent much, wellactually, no time in the prac
tice pen, the duo headedover to a friend's placeto
tune up their ropingskills. .
They consumed aremarkable quantityofbeer and roped ahalf dozensteers.Robby hadn't been on
his horse in at least acoupleof months and
Darrel was riding ahorse that hadserved him wellinthe arena for at least24years.
Neither horse hadever been behind a barrier, sothe cowboys rigged up a practiceone out of some hay twine and ajump rope they found in one ofthe pickups.
By now, darkness was fallingand by the time the ropers calledit a night. the horses were stilljumping over the barrier insteadof goingthrough it.
As ready as they wouldbe,

Unless you havecompeted in a spqrt ordoneany kind ofactivity that involvedthe spirit ofcompetition, or in most cowboy's case, a good reasonto get out of townand party, an understanding rodeo feverwill come only byexample.

GusHistoria~ and author
'Chuck Hor-nung, whosegreat-great uncle was pres-:ent at Raton that fatefulnight, has recently writtena well-researched anddetailed article about theevents of June 26,1882,Hornung points out that itwas the events of that nightthat led to Raton goingfrom a bustling, thrivingrailroad boomtown to thedeclining place it is today(no offense to anyone fromRaton),
Everyone in the Westwas an entrepreneur inthose days, and GusMentzer was no exception.At the age of 24, he waseither employed by ormore likely, was in partnership with a man namedWilliam Burbridge.Whatever the businessarrangement, it was finallydissolved by Burbridge,primarily due to the fact 4
that Gus couldn't stopdrinking and carousing, onboth his own andBurbridge's time. Gus'resentment began to simmer.

As-e are all acuteI aware, weave plenty of.eird stuff going on a dayi-day basis - all one hasl do is check the newspaer or the even ing news tonow all about thesevents.
But in the Old West,re media was not what it; today (for better or forverse, I'll let you be theudge) and it was notmcornrnon for there to belifferent versions of thearne story floating about,lepending on what newsraper you were reading.
For example, in the1870s, there was an articlen a London, Englandiewspaper that was down'ight bizarre for anyonevho studies the history ofhe American West today )r lived in it back in thedav,
The article was referring to a shooting involving John Wesley Hardin in .Comanche, Texas in 1874.It stated that the town wasdivided up between "desperadoes" and "ComancheIndians from Indiana" (thatone being my personalfavorite), with theComanches under thecommand of Hardin and
th~iQr!,~~of _law and ordernowhere to befound. What itwas was anincredibly garbled account of'Hardin's shooting of CharlieWebb, a BrownCounty deputysheriff, identifying Webb as"Webber." Inany case, youget my point ...
things - a natural-born. slapstick comedian . - ..
(although he and everyoneelse were probablyunaware of this gift at thetime), and a natural-Bornkiller. He may well havealso been an idiot's idiot.But I get ahead of myself.On the evening of June26th, Deputy Sheriff PeteDallman was making hisrounds when he suddenlyfound Gus Mentzer in hisface,
II is unclear as towhether or not there wasany gunplay previous tothis, as at least oneaccount has Mentzerapproaching Dallman witha "smoking" revolver, butapproach him he did, andproceeded to stick his guninto Dallman's ribs. Hedemanded that Dallmansurrender hisweapons,which confused the deputyto no end. He knewMentzer personally, andcould not understand Gus'
, strange behavior.II got a lot stranger a
moment later when Guspulled the trigger. If not forthe intervention of apasserby, who knocked thebarrel of the weapontoward the ground,Dallman probably wouldhave died.
Without further ado,Mentzer turned and rushedtoward the Bank ExchangeSaloon. Dallman immediately pulled his ownrevolver and sent a coupleof rounds screaming afterMentzer. Dallman wasunclear, as was everyoneelse, as to what "setMentzer off," but it wasabundantly clear that Gushad slipped his moorings
and needed to be stopped.iii-what woUld be a preturO
sor to the rest of theevening's events, Dallmanhit an innocent bystanderin the leg.
Confusion reignsInside the Bank
Exchange, it got evenweirder. As Dallman pur- .sued Gus into the saloon.he shouted a warning tothe bartender - Gus' former business associate BillBurbridge - who wasapparently unaware that hewas Gus' ultimate target.Possibly thinking that heand Gus were still friends,Burbridge began to shootat Dol/man.
Gus, for his part, beganshooting willy-nilly atessentially everyone else inthe saloon. Nobody likesto be shot at, and the otherpatrons, despite the ordinance against carryingfirearms, pulled their ownguns and in the next fewseconds, the saloon filledwith gunsmoke.
Luckily, everyone hadbeen in there at least aslong as Gus, and no onewas sober enough to hitanyone else, with the
'exception of Mentzer himself, who was nicked in theleg. Considering his inebriated condition, it is questionable as to whether ornot he was even aware ofit at the time. However, thebar, as well as a lot of bottles and glasses, was shotto pieces.
When Gus Tilced out ofthe saloon, he was pursuedby a mob - the otherpatrons - with Dallman inthe lead. But Gus' feet hadgrown wings, as he easily
outdistanced everyone elseanavamstre,tllwasn't .long before the still irate(and still drunk) citizensgot a report that Gus hadbeen seen lurking behindsome piles of freight in therailroad yard.
Keep in mind that noone - possibly not evenMentzer himself - wasaware of exactly what wasgoing on.
Anyway, when the citizens reached the railroadyard, the evening train waspulling in and we can onlyimagine the reaction of thepassengers when whatmust have seemed Iike theentire population of Ratonboarded the train in searchof one man. Gus however,was nowhere to he found.
ArespiteChasing a demented
idiot around town (an be'thirsty work and certainmembers of the "posse"were beginning to realizethis. When someone suggested that perhaps a breakshould be taken over in theLittle Brindle Saloon -what with the BankExhange being so shot upand all - everyone heartilyand more or less instantaneously agreed.
For the next hour or so,everyone congratulatedeach other on what a greatjob they had done runningGus out of town. Aftermore drinks had beenimbibed, the crowd elected to go back to the BankExchange to survey 'hedamage. They werealready beginning to call it"The Great BloodlessShootout." But things werenot destined to remain
bloodless '"-'fhey-had-only-been -
back at the Bank Exchangea short time, primarily discussing Gus Mentzer'swhereabouts, when Gushimself answered thatquestion. He suddenlyamazed everyone bystrolling into the place. Hethen proceeded to elbowhis way 10 the bar wherehe ordered a drink asthough nothing had happened.
The silence was deafening. Everyone stood staring in dumbfoundedamazement at Gus, whogazed pleasantly back atthem.
As youQn-imagine,this state of affairs did notlast long. As one, thecrowd lunged at Gus, whodid some lunging of hisown. Jerking his nowreloaded pisluls from hiding, Gus raced back oulinto the street with thecrowd in hot pursuit.

Making. the picture perfec:
s
Last semester, Ruidoso HighSchool woodshop and yearbook instructor, Mr. Henry
Sullon, and students in some ofhiswoodshopclasses began aninterdepartmental, interdisciplinary projectwith the RHSTheatre and the RHS Art .Departments.
The project was to create aseries of 21 stageflats, 14-feethigh and 6-feet wide, mountedon triangular bases that also hadto be designed and constructedon rollers, forming prisms calledPeriaktoi. Inaddition, to securethe flats, metal hardware had tobe created and that was accompiishe by the RHS students inMr. Mader'smetal worksclasses.
This massive design-andbuild project, when completed,would enable theatre and art students to cover them with muslin
and design and paint scenes. specific to'each of the three upcoming productions. Essentially, theflats, when totally finished,would become giantcanvasesrotated to reveal different scenes.
These flats are now finishedand will form the basisof scenic;designs for productions by TheRuidoso High School's RedFeather Theatre Company foryears to come. The first batch ofthese monster-sized canvasescan be seen this weekend withthe openingof Too ManyDoaors by Harriet Dexter, a rendition of a French farce, TheImaginary Invalid, by Moliere.The collaborative efforts of RHSInstructors Mr. Sutton, Mr.Mader, Mr. lucy and Mrs. Inks,along with their many students,parents and the business community, made this projectpossible. Wooddonations totalling
more than $1,ODD were made bylocal businesses: FoxworthGalbraith, Koehler Constructionand 84 lumber.
In addition, more lumber waspersonally donated by local artistand parent Mrs. DeborahWenzel, with much time andeffort given to the arduous taskof covering the hugeframes bystudents and parent Mrs. lisaPorter.
Research regarding hands-onprojects, collaboratively accornplished, reveals this is a soundeducational learning strategy.

\Celia is unique in thatshe often employs. asophisticated technologycalled looping, whichenables her to lay down atrack right on stage, thenplay it back and lay downanother, and do it again.The result is to expand hersound.
In effect, she sings withherself, so the harmoniesare exquisite and thesound is full. The technique is often used in therecording industry, butvery few performers use itlive. And even fewer use itlive with a great deal ofskill. Celia is one of thosefew. The sound can createan almost spiritual experience.
