He recommended using plenty of \Valt>r on ashes and &Wring them in an ash buck~t or similar contltiner for a significant length of . time to ensure they're prop-· ' erly cooled.

"Last week we responded to a vegetation fire caused by ash disposal that. had the potential to grow," said Gavin.
Improper ash disposal can result in a citation for violating the village's fire code. The code requires ashes be cold without any embers capable of spontaneous combustion before being put into a bag or container and placed in a dumpster

t is easy to be thankful when pennies from heaven rain upon you, or a stroke
of good luck crosses your path. It's not so easy to give)
thanks in the face of adversity or hardship regarding careers, relationships, health or finances.
AB a community we are too often reminded of the negative news stories that define our collective lives. The wastewater plant is so costly. Our gross receipts tax rate is so high. The weather is too dry, and the mountain lacks natural- snow. The local economy is suffering, too, and the race track operation could be head-
ed elsewhere. It's all in the attitude: We're
going to have a new, up-tostandard wastewater plant. An El' Nino is forming that should mean a wetter-thannormal winter. The race track isn't gone, yet. Do we still have food on the table and a roof over our heads? Most of us do.
Every year about this time we tell ourselves to be thankful every day, not simply on a mandated holiday. It's not so easy. But like the Rolling Stones sang, you can't always get what you want) but if you try sometime/you just might find/you get what you need.
Find it in your attitude. ·
Big· Mac Attack ate up the state surplus
1th the passing of former Gov. Bruce King, a lot of us are recollect
ing our favorite King moments. One of mine was his role in
the Big Mac tax cut. It's alesson that's relevant today.
In 1981 state coffers were bursting with oil and gas money. Euphoric lawmakers expected a $200 million surplus. Not only could they bankroll their pork projects, they coUld give money back to taxpayers.
McMillan insisted there was plenty of money to fund money bills and his tax cut. Opposing the measure was like standing up to a tsunami. In the end, King signed. The Big Mac cut personal income taxes by 25 percent in 1981 and 33 percent
in 1982, and shrank gross receipts taxes.
McMillan predicted the Big Mac would set the tone of fiscal policy in the state for the next 10 years. It did, but not as he expected.

wanted to spread it around and shovel some cash to private industry in hopes of fueling expansion and jobs.
King, always middle of the road, wanted to bless everyone, especially small businesses, but rain less on big business. He and Colin McMillan, the Republican chairman of the House Taxation and Revenue Committee, crafted a compromise bill dubbed the Big Mac.
Mid-session, Kay Marr, secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration, splashed cold water on their fe\i'erish plans. New Mexico could end up $100 million in the red if President Reagan's promised tax and budget cuts materialized, she said.
King, who first sugge~ted the tax cut, now urged a go-slow al)proach until they better understood the impact of federal cuts. But in the giddy atmosphere of the Roundhouse, most lawmakers didn't want to hear it. They approved more than $1 billion in appropriations, plus the hirgest tax cut in state history. Lt. Gov. Roberto Mondragon refused to sign the measure.
As the Big Mac gained momentum, King began to work behind the scenes for phased-in tax breaks, which could be undone should the need arise. King infuriated lawmakers with a 1ine-item veto of the propertytmc portion of the bill, and · the so-called Cowboy Co8lition ofRepublicans and conservative ~::;:j;abl~d all app,priations
In 1982 state revenues took a dive. Gov. Toney Anaya took office in 1983 with two priorities -balancing the budget and breaking the Cowboy Coalition. Facing a $180 million deficit, he raised personal income taxes 30 percent, corporate income taxes 20 percent and restored gross receipts taxes to the previous level.
Max Coil, a veteran of oil and gas who succeeded McMillan as chairman of the House Taxation and Revenue Committee, said later that booms fueled by energy prices don't necessarily ju.Sii.fy tax cuts. 'What goes up has got to come back down unless you repeal the law of gravity."
It was a painful lesson that haunted lawmakers during subsequent flush times; they cited it in 2001, when Gov. Gary Johnson wanted to cut taxes. In 2003, when Gov. Bill Richardson proposed a tax cut without cutting spending, lawmakers developed amnesia.
It took a lot of starch for King to urge caution when everyone around him, it seemed, had lost their heads. I reminded King of his thankless stance years later. He pumped my hand andthanked me for remembering.
Now we find ourselve~ in a similar place, for many of the same reasons. Why is it that we only hear the voices of caution after the fact? · .
Teague's exemptions reveal bill's flaws To the editor:
WE READ WITH interest Sherry Robinson's Nov. 18 column, "With or without cap-and-trade,· we're going to pay more." Most interesting was one sentence imbedded in the article. "Representative Harry Teague managed to add language to the bill that, among other things, allows New Mexico's four small refineries to emit carbon without buying credits from the government and helps out electric co-ops."
So, Rep. Teague gets a pass for voting for the bill because he got an exemption for New Mexico "polluters''? Hey, we thought we
1. were in dire straits and needed to
cut back on all carbon dioxide (by the way, a natural part of the
' earth's carbon cycle and not a pollutant). What if every repre-sentative was able to exempt their industries? Guess what, more than 80 percent of the available carbon credits have already been promised (without cost) to industries as bribes to get them to support the bill. That leaves only 16 percent of the allowances to actually be auctioned off at market value. (See the pie chart from the Congressional Research Service on
PeopleforPearce.com.J No wonder industries like electric LDCs '(local distti'biltum companies), merchant coal and "trade- . exposed industries" are all for it. But are they? Now we find that all of the refineries and electric co-ops Rep. Teague helped have come out against the bill (in a letter dated June 22,2009, from the Ad Hoc Coalition of Small Business Refiners to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.) The small refinery in Artesia said it will close if capand-trade passes. The costs will be too great. And this same refinery said no one from Washington, D.C., ever called them to see if they wanted the bill. They were opposed then and are still opposed now.
But, if 80 percent were exempt, where will the so-called environmental benefit be obtained? We have an idea. Give everyone an "exemption" by not passing cap-and-trade. We need to stop playing these games where each state is competing with the other for exemptions, special deals and pork. And we voters need to grow up and not base our support on which candidate can bring ·home the most bacon. All
· these deals just add to our crip-
pling national debt that generations to come will be unable to pay.
In a related matter, an article by William Baldwin in the Nov. 30 issue of Forbes puts New Mexico at the top of the Moocher .. Ratio list with 97.5 percent. The ratio is calculated by taking the number of state and local government employees times 1.25 (the extra 25 percent representing an estimate of future pension burdens!, plus the number of people on Medicaid (the numerator) and dividing it by the private-sector .
. employment (the denominator). Of course, this leaves out the federal government workers, which may be put in the denominator or maybe the numerator.
We know New Mexico is unique in that we have major federal facilities (military bases, national labs, national forests, · parks and BLM landJ, but th3s top rating is telling. No wonder our Legislature is having trouble making the · necessary cuts in state departments and programs. But, we have to say "no" so our state can be on a solid, long-term financial footing.

Thanksgiving, and the unity of the whole
.o
jULIAN WELLS R11idoso
can't believe it, but Thanksgiving time is here again. I can taste th,at
turkey, dressing, and cran-berry sauce already.
It's time we stop and be thankful for things that mean
. far more than pumpkin pie and baked turkey.
Thanksgiving is being thankful for all the people who serve us: our emergency ambu-lance crews, our fire depart-· ment, our street department, who are up so early on those cold snowy mornings, and so many others including our hospital staff.
And by all means, our police department, which is out there day and night protecting us ... to them indeed a very special thank you.
Let' go back to the story of the old turkey gobbler, who by circumstances not of his making did not make it to the Thanksgiving dinner table. A group of young turkeys· began to question why he was still around as they all were eagerly waiting to fulfill their destiny to qe the best turkey dinner possible.
The old gobbler sighed and said: ''M,y~ate was decide~ by .1} bunch of distorted and n:usleaCl-
'
ing Congressional turkeys. They fed me so much political garbage and false promises that my body became so tough no one wanted me. They are also the same narrow minded Congressional
turkeys who are bashing the spirituality which
our nation was founded upon."
Our founding fathers confirmed that our nation be a nation under God. Even so, the politi
cians, news media and even our courts
have made an effort to destroythat which is sacred to the majority of Americans.
Indeed, Thanksgiving does include remembering with gratitude the many blessings God has given our nation. Let's take a few moments and reflecton this: We are the wealthiest nation in the world in spite of a weakened economy. How did we become such a strong and prosperous nation?
There are many factors to consider, but worth mentioning is our currency, which states, "In God we trust." A coincidence? Probably not if we broaden those words to mean a nation of laws, freedom, moral standards, spirituality, continuous effort to
· improve ourselves; as well as demanding ethical business practices and personal hones.ty.
Even the Pilgrims knew t'hat
after surviving the perils of the journey to America they truly had something to be thankful for, as we do today.
Our forefathers might have said they deserved their daily bread. With swollen pride they might have chosen to profess that by their wits they achieved success. Instead, they humbly knelt in prayer and thanked God for the gifts that He provided so abundantly. Thanksgiving refreshes our souls as we spend time with God, concentrating on His goodness and grace. Anxiety is replaced with peace, and despondency with joy. To establish a habit of thanksgiving, recall God's loving kindness in the morning, and recount His faithfulness at night. ·
The greatest tool that brings insight into Thanksgiving is love. Some people do great things, others have rich possessions. But when we view Thanksgiving from a spiritual point of view, 13eparation.or comparison disappears into the unity of the whole.
' Thanksgiving is being thankful we live in America and have our freedom. It is being thankful that every sunrise is a gift from Gtld, filled with the golden glow of His love for us.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Native American students lag in graduation rates
jiM KALVELAGE ]kalve&lgeQtlruidosonews com
The graduation rate for Native American students in the Ruidoso Municipal School ·District . lagged behind rates for other eth-
. rue groups.
In an annual report, the school district reported a 63.3 r rnnnt four-year cohort graduation rate for American Indians. The ... ucasian rate in 2008 was 73 percent. Hispanics had the highest graduation rate, 83.1 percent.
It was the first graduation report that used the new four-year cohort method where students who were freshmen in 2004 were tracked, even if they left Ruidoso High School, to see if they graduated by September 2008. Previous-· ly the state had used a senior completion method that looked at 12th grade graduation.
Statewide the Native American graduation rate for 2004-08 was 49.8 percent. The figures are spelled out in the 2008-09 Tribal Education Status Report released by the school district at Ruidoso.
The state's Indian· Education Act requires school dis- · tricts on or near tribal lands to assemble the annual report. Of the dis- · trict's 2,267 students last year, 18.2 percent were American Indians.
School attendance by Native Americans was close to the overall level; according to the report. District-wide the 94.7 percent attendance rate' by American Indian students equaled the rate of all students.
At the Nob Hill Early Childhood Center, the rate was slightly less than the school as a whole.
It was also slightly lower at Sierra Vista Primary and White · Mountain Elementary. It was ahead of the curve at White Mountain Intermediate and Ruidoso Middle SchooL The high school Native American attendance rate was slightly under the full student population.
The district has an Indian Education Committee, which includes Mes- 111 calera Apache representation, to promote quality education for Native American students.

as what the Native Americans were granted in the gaming compacts signed by the state," Underwood said. ''Legislation in one form or the other as been attempted for the last four years on behalf of Ruidoso Downs Racing and each year it has failed for one reason or another. And of course this coming year, with the state facing what is expected to be in. the neighborhood of a $600 million deficit, it's going to. be an even more difficult time."
For several years track officials have said they were losing money because of competition from two nearby tribal casinos. Without a graduated gaming tax, to provide parity ¥rith the revenue sharing paid to the state by the Mescalero Apache Tribe, Ruidoso Downs Racing said a more populated location for the horse racing might become necessary.
"I firmly believe that this issue, that will be in front of the state legislature, is probably the most important issue that all of us face for a long, long time" Underwood told the
. city council. "You can only control your own future ¥rith things that you have control over. We don't have control over the legislature. I would suggest to you, get Ruidoso and the county involved, meet and discuss what tax incentives they may be able to provide Ruidoso Downs Racing. Whether 01 not industrial
• revenue bonds might be issued in order for Ruidoso Downs Racing to place the casino on Highway 70 as opposed off of the track."
Underwood, a former state representative, said the legislature looks more favorably at communities that try to help themselves instead of looking solely to state lawmakers.
In addition to his lobbying the tax break to lawmakers this winter on behalf of the city, Underwood said the Ruidoso Downs Jockey Club and Ruidoso Downs Racing would have lobbyists at the state capital. And the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce. may also hire a lobbyist.
During a task force meeting Mo1;1day night a "plan of action" was discussed, said Sandi Aguilar, the chamber's executive director. She said the Village of Ruidoso has allo-
. . _';.'·.·~· /·', .... -.·_··-.,_
' , I _· :• -~·, .. ~
, . . ' ; • ·I.
cated $10,000 in lodgers tax funding to the chamber, which might be used to pay a lobbyist.
"The message is that . Ruidoso backs the track," said Aguilar. "It's about the tax parity issue. It should be a tiered tax rate to make horse racing in New Mexico competitive for small communities."
Aguilar said the chamber board might vote next week on a lobbyist. She added Ruidoso Downs and Lincoln County could. also be asked to assist.
Underwood said he testified before the Racing Commission last Thursday that the city ¥rill , "stand stalwart" in oppq,sing a move of the track and casino from Ruidoso Downs.
"it's who we are. It's what we're about. It's the cornerstone of not only our economy it's the cornerstone of our heritage."
Underwood recalled working at the track as a teen in 1964,. sprinting across the infield with film of races for stewards to review. He said since that time the track has grown in popularity.
"It is estimated by the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Ruidoso Valley Economic Development Corporation that the hit to this area would be somewhere between $30 million and $40 million dollars a year," said Underwood. And the hit to the state for passing the tax equity act would be approximat~ly $750,000 a year. And so we feel we need to make the legislators aware of the fact that if they're unable to give some tax parity for Ruidoso Downs it would be economically devastating to the area."
''When the paper reads 'Hubbard ups the ante,' the chips in that game are your lives, my lives, the lives of • our grandchildren, the eco-nomic future that we all look forward to being here. It's a high-stakes poker game. We 10,000 people are the chips· in a high stakes game."

"When we do visit mth the legislators let them know that we appreciate that," said Holman.

"1 never expected to live in the United States. I didn't speak English. Where we lived (in Gennanyl, there were no Americans. Going from Gennany to El Paso was a culture shock. I was homesick and cried everyday. My step-father and mother stuck me in an American school."
Although English was spoken in his new home, Born still only spoke Gt.>rman and nobody at the school knew his language.
"They would take me to the back of the class \\ith a chalkboard and that's how I learned my ABCs in English. I went to all the regular classes and within a year, I spoke English." He received his citizenship in 1971, and was proud to be an American, but he always wanted to go back to Germany.

· ·sports,~ he said. More than "into" sports, in his senior ye.ar, Born wru; named athlete ofthe year for his accomplislunents in football, wrestling and track.
Occasionally1 he would .come home on weekends and he kept ili touch with his grandparents with visits to them and their longer visits to his home for a month at a time.
He planned w attend Henderson State University in Arkansas. When he arrived in New York in 1976, he stood in the busy airport, looked around and thought, "These people are spoiled."
Being in a new place with no family or friends, Born was homesick. The coach took him in and fed him, but no scholarship materialized. He moved to -Long Beach, Calif, where his older brother, who came back to the United States in 1963, was in the Marines. Bom tried to attend Long Beach State, but didn't care for California.
He drove to El Paso, where he still had friends,· and attended the University of Texas community college there, while work" ing for the Noncommissioned Officers Club at Fort Bliss and at--Fabens Ranch, where he developed an interest in horses.
Even in Germany, Bom wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement and was quoted about a future career in an interview \\ith the Nuremberg newspaper. But infatuation delayed career plans when a friend's sister came w visit with two of her girlfriends from Boston in tow. Born ended up following them back on a bus for a visit. He liked the· look of thecountryside, which reminded him of Gt.>rmany's green hills, but there was a long waiting list for the police department.
' He broke up with the
girl he followed, but met his future wife, Diane, in September 1979.
"By then, my brother was out of the Marines and an officer in the El Paso Police Department.

In the summer of 1989, the family went camping in Alpine, Ariz., and liked the mountain country. "I said to her if she liked it so much, why not move there to raise the kids (two sons)." But Alpine had no openings and a second opportunity didn't work out in Montana .
''Then we saw an ad in paper for a police officer in Ruidoso and I applied. I was not New Mexico certi- . fled." The village received 36 applications, most certified. Bam was in the third group of five, but was called in for an interview when no one wlfS hired from the first two groups. He was hired by then chief Bill Newman.
Within eight months, he made corporal and was moved to the detective division in 1992, then Criminal Investigation Division commander,· and moved up the ranks from lieutenant to captain. In December 2004, he replaced the fonner chief.
"I was interim for 1 1/2 years, but I consider that time as chief," he said.
"Bill Newman told me I would make chief one day. I didn't understand then, but the guys here now I can tell which ones will move up the ladder. I guess you have to get the maturity to know what they were talking about."
Major complaints in the department before he became chief were lack of equipment, the pay scale and being shorthanded. He moved toward solving those big issues, but also

Besides finishing accreditation, a job . assigned to Sgt.

"I believe that at work and at home," he said. He made sure to involve the people at work in decisions on how to make things better, especially the sergeants. He activated a
. largely unused special · response team, using $10,000 to equip and train them.
"Accreditation was important. It was talked about before I took over, but we've been working on

. you do conforms to the adopted policy. It has to be approved by the state. Once a department is accredited, there is less chance of a defense attorney challenging our policy. It's just a big plus and (in law enforcement), they do make big deal out of it. We are a professional department, in my opinion, and being accrediteQ. shows the ~tate and gives the officers a little more pride."
He tries to replace or add three cars a year, one for each shift, but leaves it up to the shift sergeants to decide who drives the new vehicles, "as long as its " . " tarr.
When an officer or employee may be disciplined, Born sits down at the round table in his office with the sergeant and lieutenant to bring out all the facts. The sergeant does not act alone. It's stressful for a sergeant to have to discipline one of his own, Born said
Each month, a Comprehensive Police Stats session is conducted with sergeants and detectives giving the statistics for their shifts.
'We try to figure out if we have a high crime area or a partiCular type of crime occurring and come up with an .actioa plan," the chief sal'd. "That's how we formed the burglary task force.".
