Located in the mountainous region of the Cajamarca province in Peru, Asociación Provincial Cafetaleros Solidarios San Ignacio (APROCASSI) was founded in 2000 by 800 small farm-ers committed to earning a fair price for their coffee. This region of Peru is also marked by national and international mining companies who often do not pay laborers a fair wage. APROCASSI also formed to give people an alternative to the mining industry.

APROCASSI continually seeks to produce high-quality coffee and improve its members’ standard of living through higher prices. They regularly invest in programs that teach members how to improve coffee quality and productivity. Most families work on approximately seven hectares of land and grow a variety of products, including coffee in the higher elevations. Collectively, the cooperative has an estimated 2,705 hect-ares of land producing organic coffee. This is about 93 percent of their total production.

Since becoming Fair Trade Certi-fied TM in 2001, the cooperative has financed several social and productive programs using its Fair Trade premium. Portions of their premium are also used to pay producers immediately for their coffee sales.

APROCASSI credit loan programs

Producer families often find them-selves without the cash necessary to cover unforeseen events such as a health emergency or a death in the family.

APROCASSI has a fund where produc-ers can borrow money to pay for these situations.

In 2008, APROCREDI was formed as an organization that would support lines of credit for APROCASSI mem-bers. They provide loans for everything related to pre and post harvest needs, as well as the rebuilding of a producer’s farm.

APROCASSI coffee quality improvements

The association bought four new coffee drying machines with their Fair Trade premium. These machines created consistency across communities and reduced the risk of fermentation dam-age that often occurred on drying patios. The consistency of the coffee improved and thus a higher quality of coffee was produced.

Another example of how the coop-erative supports its members through the use of the Fair Trade premium is by building storage centers for coffee in various regions where producers live. These centers greatly reduce the trans-portation time and cost for members.

APROCASSI technical as-sistance

APROCASSI supports its members throughout the growing and processing of their coffee. They provide assistance in the growing stages of seeding new plants, natural protection against pests, working with shade grown plants and

keeping a healthy forest, and how to plant a diversifi ed farm. They offer workshops, classes and hands-on trainings on a model farm. This investment is very important to APROCASSI because it maintains high quality coffee production.

A little bit about PeruPeru, once part of the great Incan

empire, has endured an ongoing struggle and revolution that began at the start of the Spanish Conquest. Independence in 1821 was followed by territorial disputes with neighboring countries, Chile and Bolivia. Domestically, Peru’s political scene was characterized by weak civil-ian governments dotted with intermittent military coups.

Similar to the situation of other South American nations, the 1960s and ‘70s in Peru were dominated by oppressive dicta-torships. Economic instability and natural disaster in the 1980s didn’t help the situ-ation. The overall social and political dis-content eventually sparked the emergence of the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso), a Maoist guerrilla organization driven to eliminate what it believed to be the bourgeois democracy. In the context of economic ruin, infl ation, and widespread violence, the fi rst democratic elections in

40 years were held and APRA (American Popular Revolutionary Alliance) won the presidency with candidate Alan Garcia Perez. However, Garcia lost the elections in 1990 as he failed to adequately address key national concerns. He was replaced by Alberto Fujimori who believed he had a mandate for radical change.

Almost immediately after elected into offi ce, Fujimori suspended the constitu-tion and imposed censorship. He also instituted drastic economic measures to lower infl ation and recover the collapsed economy. Citing continuing terrorism, drug traffi cking, and corruption, he dis-solved Congress in April 1992. And while he is praised for having vanquished most of the Shining Path, he has done so at great cost to the basic rights of the Peru-vian people.

An estimated 4,000 Peruvians were “disappeared” during the “counter-insur-gency” war and some 2,500 Peruvians remain in jail – many serving life sen-tences – under the Fujimori anti-terrorism laws. These civilians were convicted, often following confessions under torture by hooded military judges and without proper opportunities of defense.

A bribery scandal forced Fujimori to fl ee to Japan where he resigned from

presidency and lived in self-imposed exile for fi ve years. After fi ghting extradition for years, he lost the battle in 2007 and went on trial for 15 months. In 2009, he was found guilty of authorizing the death-squad killings in 1991 and 1992.

Today Peru is considered to be on

the road to recovery with a strong GDP growth rate, making it one of the fastest growing economies in the region. In 2006, APRA candidate Alan Garcia Perez – who was elected in the ‘80s – won the presi-dency and has since overseen a robust macroeconomic performance.

Wellness Watch – Oxygen therapiesBy Tim SeayBetter Home and Health

Up until now the Wellness Watch series has focused on the emerging use of Pulsed Electromag-netic Field Therapy. We have been explor-ing all sorts of possi-bilities for improving our health using this natural energy that is the life source for all of our cells. The earth’s electromag-netic fi eld is a force of nature that is maintained in part by more than 100 lightning strikes per second occurring around the globe. This “tuning fork” of life as it is often called, is also known as “Schumann Resonance” and is yet another miraculous natural phenomenon of our planet earth. Other naturally occurring phenomena around our planet include the development of ozone and hydrogen peroxide in our atmosphere and lightning plays a role their production as well.

Just like the electromagnetic fi eld of the earth, these substances occur naturally and therefore cannot be patented or controlled for profi t. This fact makes the pharmaceuti-cal industry very uncomfortable as both of these substances, when used properly, have shown great promise for naturally improving one’s health and wellness. There is some very interesting history about the use of ozone in the U.S. dating back to the 1800s when Nicolas Tesla conducted several successful tests on disease and rejuvenation. During the 1920s and 30s, ozone and other forms of oxygen therapy enjoyed a period of success and popularity in America having been used in hospitals, sanitariums and clinics. This all came to an end with the emergence of the American Medical Association (AMA), pub-lishing of the fraudulent “Flexnor Report” and the takeover of the entire

medical school indus-try by the Carnegie Foundation, which at that time was a subsid-iary of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Are you getting the picture here?

From that point forward “Mainstream Medicine” in America became primarily about money and cor-porate profi ts. Drugs, radiation and surgery

are where the money is, so that has been the focus of our medical system since the late 1940s and 50s. For a detailed account of this history, read Eustace Mullins research on how the big railroad barons converted into oil barons and then went on to control the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Today oxygen therapies have be-gun to regain a position in our health and healing protocols. This group of therapies includes the inhalation of concentrated (bottled) oxygen, ozone therapies, hydrogen peroxide thera-pies and the use of hyperbaric oxygen chambers.

Over the next few weeks we will go over each of these therapies in some detail. As proven by two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto War-burg, Hypoxia also known as oxygen starvation at the cellular level is the foundation of most if not all degenera-tive disease including cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis etc.

Next time we will look at specifi -cally how ozone therapies work and what they can do for the body.

Until then… Thanks for the read.Health and Happiness to all.Please send any questions or com-

ments to: [email protected] or call 575-770-0136.

Toulouse-Lautrec Chautauqua at the Ruidoso Public Library

Toulouse-Lautrec will be at the Ruidoso Public Library at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19, during a Chautauqua to speak on art history and make some sketches. He will make gesture drawings of patrons for about a half hour before the performance of the Chautauqua, “Born Toulouse – Lived to paint.”

Since Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec died in 1901, we really won’t be seeing Toulouse-Lau-trec himself, but we will be watching a performance by Petr Jandacek, a long time artist and art educator in Los Alamos.

A Chautauqua is a theatrical performance where a thespian takes on the persona of a famous individual. The thespian stays in character after the performance to allow the audience to ask questions of the famous individual. The thespian has studied his charac-ter extensively and answers questions honestly with the knowledge honed from research. So Chautauquas are both entertaining and intellectual.

For the “Born Toulouse – Lived to paint” Chautauqua, Toulouse-Lautrec plans to present the history of art from the vast collection of the Toulouse-Lautrec royal family. With dwarfed legs, an affl iction caused genetically from the French Royalty inbreeding, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was unable to excel in sports like the rest of his family. “Le Pe-tit” (the little artist) sublimated by chan-neling his energies into art and teaching his many cousins about the evolution of art from the Stone Age to Impressionism and beyond. The audience is invited to pretend that you are the cousins of Henri.

Toulouse-Lautrec, together with friends like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Ce-zanne and other 19th century artists, redirected art from mere imitation to interpretation. Toulouse-Lautrec scan-dalized the conservative establishment of the times with the subject matter in

his paintings and lithographs. He was defi nitely avant-garde for this period which was turbulent and particularly abundant artistically. Art was always Toulouse-Loutrec’s treatment for his troubled soul and wretched body, after falling often into debauchery, alcohol-ism and bohemianism.

Petr Jandacek brings Henri and his art to life to the audience. At 1:30 p.m., Henri will be doing gesture sketches of the audience. The program promises to give attendees very good foundation in art history in an hour or two of fun.

For more information call Ruidoso Public Library at 575-258-3704. The li-brary is located at 107 Kansas City Road. Hours are Mon. - Thurs., 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fri., 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sat., 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; www.youseemore.com/ruidosopl/ or http://ruidosopubliclibrary.blogspot.com.

February is American Heart Month: Heart health tips for womenAn interview with women’s health expert Dr. Aimée Shunney

Did you know that for the past 20 years, heart disease in the U.S. has killed more women annually than men? Why are women at a higher risk of dying from heart attack and stroke? And what can women do to effectively fight back against the nation’s num-ber one killer? “There are four keys for lowering risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, says women’s health expert Dr. Aimée Shunney:1. Get on an anti-inflammatory diet2. Increase your amount of exercise3. Maintain a proper weight4. Lower your stress level

What is an anti-inflammatory diet?

“Chronic inflammation is a major contributing factor to heart disease, therefore we want to decrease foods we’re allergic to or sensitive to,” says Dr. Shunney. “Some of the major

inflammatory foods are caffeine, alco-hol, food additives, refined sugar, refined flour, corn, soy, glu-ten, dairy and eggs.” Dr. Shunney says an anti-inflammatory diet would also in-clude foods that have anti-inflammatory properties, like fatty fish, flax seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts as well as plenty of monounsaturated fatty acids from olives and olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocado. Fish oil supplements also provide anti-inflammatory benefits for the circulatory system.

“Also make sure you are eating good quality lean protein,” says Dr. Shunney. “Too much red meat can be inflammatory, so focus on vegetarian sources of protein like nuts and seeds and fish, plus lean chicken and turkey. You also want complex carbohydrates including whole, non-gluten grains like

millet and buck-wheat. You’ll also want plenty of fruits and vegetables to give you vitamins and minerals. Green tea has anti-inflam-matory properties, as does a little bit of chocolate, red wine and even beer (the hops in beer has profound anti-

inflammatory properties). Fermented foods have good bacteria that help with digestion, and good digestion means low inflammation.”

Be physically active every day

Dr. Shunney says research has shown that getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity on five or more days of the week can help lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and keep your weight at a healthy level. But something is better than nothing, so if you’re doing nothing now, start out slow. Even 10 minutes at a time may offer some health benefits. Studies show that people who have achieved even a moderate level of fitness are much less likely to die early than those with a low fitness level.

Find your healthy weight

“Excess weight increases the heart’s work,” says Dr. Shunney. “It also raises blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lowers HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It can make diabetes more likely to de-velop, too. Losing as few as 10 pounds can lower your heart disease risk. Check out the Body Mass Index cal-

culator at the American Heart Associa-tion’s Web site (www.what-is-my-bmi.info) Your BMI is a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height and is a good indicator of whether you’re at a healthy or unhealthy weight. A BMI of less than 25 and more than 18.5 indicates a healthy weight.”

Reduce stress

“The emotional qualities that we experience when we are stressed out will increase our C-reactive protein levels in the blood,” says Dr. Shunney. “C-reactive protein is the best anti-inflammatory marker that we know. Emotions like anger, hostility, shame, depression actually increase inflamma-tory markers in the body. Being under stress also makes it harder for the body to turn off an acute stress response, which leads to chronic inflammation and increased risk for cardiovascular events.”

Dr. Shunney says stress also trig-gers a tendency to make poor food choices, which leads to increased inflammation as well. “This is why it’s important to have anti-stress activities as part of your anti-inflammatory/car-diovascular health regimen. That activ-ity could be different for everyone, from meditation, to gardening, to just relaxing and socializing with friends,” says Dr. Shunney.

Dr. Aimée Shunney, spokesperson for Nordic Naturals, is a Naturopathic Physician in private practice in Santa Cruz, CA where she blends conven-tional medical diagnosis and treatment with the use of natural therapeutics. Dr. Shunney specializes in women’s health, functional endocrinology, and family medicine.

A G E L E S S M E D I C I N EA bright ray of sunshine?

Dr. Stephen RathFusion Medical Center, Ruidoso

Reader question of the week: “I’ve lost my tan over the past few months. Is it safe to “top off” my tan in a tanning booth?”

Answer: No. A July 2012 study posted in the British Medical Journal re-ported a 20 percent increase in melanoma skin cancer risk in patients that had ever used a tanning bed as well as a 42 percent in-crease in melanoma risk in heavy users. Tanning before you have reached age 35? An 87 percent increased melanoma risk compared with those who have never tanned. Ouch! And not just from the sunburn possibility. Think you are alone? I’m afraid I fall into the 87 per-cent increased risk category.

I always tell my patients that none of my soapboxes are too high as I have made the majority of mistakes person-ally; and yes, I logged time in a tanning booth when I was younger. However, our medical knowledge in the aesthetic and anti-aging fi eld has been advancing exponentially. We now know that not only does sun tanning increase your risk for skin cancer, it also accelerates the aging process in your skin. Take a look around the next time you are in a public place. You can identify the tanners by the worn, weathered look of their skin. The modeling and fashion industries have recognized this. You either see spray on tans or the new “bright white” look made more popular by the Twilight movie series (I still get to keep my man card, I have only seen short clips due to the bad infl uence of my wife).

You’re saying that sun tanning is bad, it accelerates the aging pro-cess, and increases my risk for skin cancer. Is melanoma really that bad? That depends. Is death considered a bad outcome? While the 2012 cancer death statistics have not been offi cially fi nalized, the National Cancer Institute projects that more than 9,000 people in the United States alone will die of mela-noma skin cancer in 2012. Whoa! The future doesn’t look as bright and sunny anymore. While the melanoma death rate is less than 6 percent for the under

45 age group, it more than doubles for the 45-54 age range (13.5 percent) and continues to increase until it reaches a high of 24 percent for the 75-84 age group.

Well doc, like you, I made mistakes when I was younger. What can I do to decrease my risk of skin cancer death? Self-

inspection is fi rst and foremost. If you have read the previous series of articles dealing with sex you should be familiar with getting naked with your partner. This is an instance where you need to keep the lights on, as skin cancer likes the shadows. Start with a visual inspec-tion of your partners skin and specifi -cally look for skin lesions larger than a pencil eraser. Red fl ags are increasing size, irregular border, changing color, irregular margins, and changing texture. While a personal or partner exam is great for identifying new or changing skin lesions, it doesn’t obviate the need to have a board-certifi ed dermatologist perform an annual skin inspection. I rec-ommend that my patients see a board-certifi ed dermatologist by age 40 if they have a history of increased sun exposure and age 50 (also the age for your fi rst colonoscopy) if they don’t report active sun tanning.

There are a couple of dermatolo-gists in Roswell, and more in Las Cru-ces and Albuquerque. Make sure you check your physicians credentials on the New Mexico Medical Board website (www.nmmb.state.nm.us) and verify board certifi cation at www.abms.org prior to your visit. Board certifi ed der-matologists have four years of specialty training and thousands of patients worth of experience working to keep you alive. Until then, do your part. Stay out of the tanning beds and wear sunscreen!

Disclaimer: Dr Stephen Rath, MD, DABA is a board certifi ed anesthesiologist as well as the owner and medical director of Fusion Medical Spa located in Ruidoso. He isn’t a dermatologist, but he is doing his part to educate patients about the risks of skin cancer. Comments or questions? His email address is: [email protected].

Harken up, ye one n’all: the Tony Award-win-ning Best Musical of 2005, Monty Python’s “Spama-lot,” visits the fair city of Alto for one performance only Monday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Spencer Theater. Excellent seats are avail-able for $79 and $76. Call the Spencer Box Offi ce at 575-336-4800 or go online to www.spencertheater.com for tickets.

Adoringly “ripped-off” from the internationally famous comedy team’s 1975 cult classic, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” “Spamalot” is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical. Actress Sara Ramirez, the original “Lady of the Lake,” now better known as Dr. Callie Torres on TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” won the Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.

The original cast recording of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” also won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

The much-anticipated Phoenix Entertainment tour-ing production, which loads into the Spencer in the wee hours of the morn’ Feb. 25, stars a cast of 25 actors plus orchestra musicians. Of special note, the play’s character “Patsy” who follows King Arthur everywhere, clacks the coconuts for the horse’s hooves and – as well as sings the show’s hit song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” – is Glenn Giron, a native of Santa Fe.

Once the fi sh are slapped and horses are heard galloping through the hall, patrons get a gleeful dose of dancing divas, fl atulent Frenchmen, fl ying cows, a giant killer rabbit, a legless knight, a hilarious score and, of course, a quick but entertain-ing nod to the meat product from which the show gets its name (somewhat a play on the legendary Camelot) as the motley crew of knights search for the mythical cup.

Wacky action for sure, but as critics herald, much of the extreme, off-the-wall farce is steeped in intelligent references to popular Broadway, English literature and world history – and that has proved immensely satisfying throughout the land. And for those who worry they won’t get the audacious humor: even New York Post columnist Cindy Adams admitted, “I was Monty Python-challenged. I’d somehow never seen them before. I don’t care. I must report on the hilarious, mindless, fall-down funny, belly laugh that gives a tonic to your tummy, your heart and your head. If you’re cause-impaired and require a

message, stay home. Watch PBS. If you just want to laugh a lot, see Spamalot.”

The Broadway musical was spearheaded by original Python member Eric Idle in 2005, and with the hilarious music and lyrics by Idle and John Du Prez, as well the riotous choreography of Casey Nicholaw and Mike Nichols’ masterful direction, it was a sure-fi re hit. Idle developed the book, which was loosely based on the screenplay of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.

This huge touring production appearing at the intimate, 500-seat Spencer, involves the theater’s temporary hiring of 60 additional stage hands and backstage crew (electricians, carpenters, riggers, wardrobes and cook) to load-in the sets off of three 18-wheelers of sets and to later strike those sets; prepare

costumes and wigs, cook meals for the actors and touring crews, and to run technical equipment errands.

Don’t miss out on this elaborate award-winning Broadway musical comedy. Call the Spencer for your show tickets today.

This week, several hundred people will meet for the 39th annual Tarantula 100 motor-cycle desert race, Feb. 16 and 17, at the Red Sands OHV area, located on Highway 54 halfway between Alamogordo and Organ.

“This is the fi rst race of the annual New Mexico Desert Rac-ing Association’s series,” said Kent Eves, member of the Prairie Dawg Club, which hosts the event. “It’s also the best attended of the series every year.”

Riders come from all over the western U.S. for this race, including California, Nevada, Texas and New Mexi-co. Riders come in all ages and will compete in 25 different classes. This includes the Pee-Wee class for four year olds, riding an abbreviated course with training wheels on their dirt bikes.

Every year, the course changes which means rid-

ers won’t be riding the same trails, with the Prairie Dawgs setting up check points along the course to make sure riders aren’t taking shortcuts.

“My favorite thing about the Tarantula is all the riders,” said LeRoy Harris, president of the Prairie Dawg Club. “I’ve been riding since I was 6, and I enjoy putting on a quality event for my fellow riders.”

Expert riders will be com-peting for cash and points, while all other racers will be after a trophy.

The Prairie Dawgs are in debt to the Bureau of Land Management for allowing the race, Alamo West for volun-teering EMT service, the Amateur Radio Club and numer-ous other volunteers that allow this race to be a reality.

The next race in the NMDRA series will be at Las Cru-ces in March, with another scheduled in Carlsbad in April.

Music at the Ruidoso Public LibraryLocal favorite – Lou Ann Ellison sings the Blues(and more)

Join the library Thursday, Feb. 21, at 6 p.m. for music with local, Lou Ann Ellison. Known for singing her blues, Ellison will also entertain us with an eclectic mixture of jazz, country & west-ern, rock-n-roll and pop. Third Thursday Music is held after hours in the upstairs library in front of the archive at the Ruidoso Public Library.

For more than three decades, Ellison has shared her talents with Ruidoso. Growing up in Ruidoso, she took piano lessons and played the fl ute in the high school band. The experience of partici-pating in the N.M. All-State Chorus for two years overwhelmingly infl uenced her to choose music as her fi eld of college studies and as a career. She has taught both in public schools and privately, and performs as a soloist as well as with various ensembles performing classical to country, blues to rock for civic events, weddings, clubs and concerts.

Ellison helped to get the blues back in town in 1998 with the Mountain of Blues Festival, performing at the fi rst, third and 11th annual festival. As a song-writer, Ellison likes to compose songs that may somehow bring about peace. Reaching out to the youth of our world, she volunteers and teaches at Peace Village (local day camp) every sum-mer. She also serves as accompanist for both Ruidoso and Capitan High School choirs.

A church musician for many years, Ellison often writes choral introits and

responses for the choir at First Presbyte-rian Church. Wayne Ellison, Lou Ann’s husband, is the church’s choir director, a guitarist and the music teacher at Capitan Schools. As one would expect, their two sons, David, 14 and Stephen, 12, are both involved in music at their schools.

Stephen, a drummer for four years, will accompany his mother for the performance at the library. Wayne may join the performance with his guitar. The library welcomes this local family of musicians for this February Third Thursday Music @ the Library.

For more information call Ruidoso Public Library at 575-258-3704. The library is located at 107 Kansas City Road. Hours are: Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; www.youseemore.com/ruidosopl/ or http://ruidosopubliclibrary.blogspot.com.

Creating a healthy home environment is benefi cial in our lifelong health and there are many things to consider when creating such an environment. Here are a few ideas to think about that will help us get started:• Waste reduction - our trash-

cans hold the secrets to how we live. We can examine what goes into it as a tool to understand what might be best left out of our lifestyle. How much room can we save in our trash can if we choose a gallon size container for our beverages instead of individu-ally packaged ones? Can we use less paper towels? Can we use our razor blade just a few more times? Can we squeeze out a few more uses of toothpaste before we throw the tube away? Can we con-sistently measure out the rec-ommended amount of laundry detergent so we actually get the 40 loads of laundry sug-gested on the package?

• Air quality - keeping plenty of household plants in our living spaces are benefi cial in con-trolling our air quality as they can boost the oxygen levels in our surroundings. I personally like to keep fresh herbs and other edible plants as they are aesthetically pleasing, healthy and delicious. Limiting the amount of toxic chemicals and air fresheners used in our home can also assist with air quality. Choose naturally sourced air fresheners such as essential oils like lavender or cedar wood.

• Cleaning supplies - many of the commercially produced cleaning products available today contain harsh chemicals. We can always save the harsh chemicals for tough jobs and use more natural products for everyday use. Many natural cleaning aids can be found on the internet. I often use vinegar and water.

• Water conservation - the water on our planet today is all there is, so it is important for us to be smart about conserving this necessary resource. If we stick a 12 ounce bottle fi lled with water strategically in our toilet tank, we can save 12 ounces each fl ush. We can also minimize the amount of water pressure used when washing hands, brushing teeth or washing dishes. Shorter showers and smart laundry practices can also aid in water conservation.

• Saving money - fi nancial health is a commonly over-looked contributing factor to our health as it can affect our stress levels. If we are effi cient in our everyday practices, we can possibly save money or need less of it. Being effi cient with energy usage is a great way to save money. Taking advantage of natural lighting by keep-ing curtains open during the sunlight hours can reduce costs associated with heating and lighting. Closing curtains in the evenings can assist with heating costs during the colder months. Opening windows to allow fresh air can assist in the warmer months.

• Toiletry items - while the FDA approves many of these items, I’m sure they didn’t consider that we use these products every day, often more than once. Many of these items go straight through our blood-

streams, causing our body to redirect its energy to deal with these foreign unnatural substances. Choosing more natural toiletry products such as lotions, soaps, deodorants, toothpaste, etc., is a great way to minimize these toxins in our body. I prefer coconut or olive oil to moisturize my skin.

• Eat those veggies - a lifestyle consisting of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can reduce energy usage used in cooking. Fruits and vegetables also come in an earth-friendly biodegradable package, reduc-ing the amount of waste in our homes. A lifestyle that includes abundant amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables can reduce the need of items we keep in our medicine cabinets and may even minimize time spent at the doctor’s offi ce.

• Keeping a gallon size con-tainer of water in the fridge can help keep our refrigerator stay cool; therefore reducing energy use. This can also save water as we won’t have to let the water run from the faucet as we wait for the perfect drinking temperatures. As we only get one life to

enjoy, and only one body and one planet in which to enjoy it, let us do what we can to make it a good one.

Boy Scouts of America honor Jack Shuster

Jack Shuster of Ruidoso was honored with the Silver Bea-ver Award by the Boy Scouts of America’s Conquistador Coun-cil at their annual Recognition Banquet last Saturday.

The Silver Beaver Award was introduced in 1931 and is a council-level dis-tinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Conquistador Council is chartered by the Boy Scouts of America to administer scout-ing programs in Southeastern New Mexico. Recipients of the Silver Beaver award in South-eastern New Mexico are registered scouters who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the Conquistador Coun-cil. The Silver Beaver was awarded to Shuster for his work in implementing the scouting pro-gram through hard work, self sacrifi ce, dedica-tion, and years of service in Lincoln County and its communities. Jack currently serves as the chairman of the Sierra Blanca District, which en-compasses all of Lincoln County. He was previ-ously honored with the Bronze Pelican award by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces for making a signifi cant contribution to the spiritual development of Catholic youth in the Boy Scouts of America.

In addition to serving youth through scout-ing as chairman of the Sierra Blanca District, Jack Shuster is an ordained Roman Catholic deacon serving St. Joseph Apache Mission in Mescalero and is a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus. His community activities include heading the marketing committee of Fort Stanton, Inc. and acting as Chaplain and Public Information Offi cer of Company K, 8th US In-fantry (1858), the Fort Stanton Garrison. Shuster also works with the Lincoln County Regulators Cowboy Action shooting group, is the chairman and communications director of the Republican Party of Lincoln County and is a member of the Rotary Club of Ruidoso. In his spare time, Jack gives historic tours of Lincoln and Fort Stanton, writes a history blog, is published in the Cowboy Chronicle and owns the Kona Cowboy Coffee Company.

The Silver Beaver award medal consists of a silver beaver pendant suspended from a blue and white ribbon worn around the neck. Recipients may wear the corresponding square knot, with a white strand over a blue strand, on the BSA uniform.
