First in a seriesPart one: The basics

The headline question above, with regional variations, is repeatedly asked all over the United States, and most likely, in all parts of the world. Many people believe that there’s just noth-ing hard about making a good cup of coffee—anywhere. The common belief seems to be that if you buy freshly roasted, expensive beans, it’s child’s play to make a good cup of coffee. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Brewed coffee quality depends upon a combination of factors. Fresh beans, measured by both how long it’s been since the beans were roasted and the time elapsed since grinding the beans, are certainly important. High quality beans (measured by the spe-cific crop, processing, handling, etc.) are, obviously, desirable, but the high-est quality beans are all but useless if they are stale. Clean good-tasting water must be used, and the coffee must be brewed with clean equip-ment at the proper temperature for the proper amount of time. In Ruidoso, there’s another, often overlooked fac-tor in play – altitude. Altitude affects the brew as much as any of the other variables and at 7,000 ft, it’s not just the lower boiling point of water that causes the problem. You must have a coffee brewer designed for high alti-tude. A $20 Mister Coffee brewer just

won’t do the job.So, simply buying top-quality

beans is no guarantee of great cof-fee; if those beans are stale, the water quality poor, the brewing temperature low, or your equipment dirty, you will have wasted money on those expen-sive beans. Lesser quality yet freshly roasted beans, ground immediately before use, will almost certainly be superior to a higher quality beans that have become stale.

With all brewing methods, the goal is to balance strength and yield. These two elements are distinct but often confused. Brewed coffee is more than 98 percent water; this is a measure of its strength – i.e., how much extracted coffee there is as a ratio to water. Not counting espresso or Turkish coffee, this mainly refers to the concentration of solubles; with espresso, that can be broadened to include emulsified oils (Turkish coffee often has a significant component of suspended solids). If the ratios fall outside of the proper range, your coffee may be perceived as too weak or too strong. Most com-monly this is a function of the quantity of ground coffee used for any given volume of water. However, the quality of solubles that are extracted determine another factor, the yield. If too little is extracted from the ground coffee (be-cause the grounds are too coarse or the

water contact time is too short), then the coffee will miss essential taste compo-nents. If too much is extracted (the cof-fee was ground too fi nely or the contact time is too long), then the brew will be bitter. Rather than being a measure of the total quantity of solubles extracted, yield is a measure of the desirable range of extracted solubles. To put it simply, if you mix hot water and coarsely ground

coffee in a one to one ratio and allow it to extract for thirty seconds, you will have a cup with a very strong, grassy taste. A lot was extracted just because of the sheer quantity of coffee, but not enough of the desirable components. Similarly, if you add a tablespoon of fi nely ground coffee to a quart of hot water and let it steep for 10 minutes, you will have a weak, yet bitter brew.

Turkey Federation supports youth activities, habitat conservationBy Eugene HeathmanEditor

The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), a national nonprofi t organization, is the leader in upland wildlife habitat conservation in North America. The local chapter in Ruidoso supports local youth hunting programs and habitat management projects through annual fundraising efforts.

James Herrera, who organizes the local chapter fundraiser, recently travelled to the state NWTF ban-quet in Albuquerque to receive an award. “The Lincoln County Spurs NWTF chapter raised more money in 2012 than any chapter in New Mexico. All of the money we raise stays in Lincoln County,” Herrera said. The Lincoln County Spurs NWTF chapter donates at least 10 complete Thanksgiving turkey dinners to the Lincoln County Food bank each year. The chapter also purchased and donated a gun safe for the Lincoln County 4-H club safe shooting program, constructed a BB gun and archery range for the Boy Scout Jamboree at Fort Stanton and participated in the past two wildlife bonanza programs with the Lincoln National Forest.

Committee member Craig Maldonado is work-ing with the forest service to repair and replace trick tanks used to water wildlife in the area burn scar rehabilitation areas and Hale Lake. This year, the Lincoln County Spurs are developing youth hunter safety and turkey hunting education camps for young hunters the growing numbers of women becoming in involved in hunting. “The NWTF is much more than hunt-ing. Locally, our chapter is very engaged in providing positive mentorships and programs for our youth to engage in outdoor activities. The water tank proj-ects are also on the top of the list as we are assisting the US Forest Service with habitat rehabilitation projects after the devastating fi res last summer,” Maldo-nado said. The Lincoln County Spurs chapter has approximately 175 members

On March 28, 1973, the Common-wealth of Virginia issued incorporation papers to a fl edgling organization in

Fredericks-burg called the National Wild Turkey Federa-tion. The NWTF has come a long way since its founding chief executive, Tom Rodgers, took $440 out of his own pocket to put the organiza-tion in motion. The NWTF helps rescue wild turkeys from the brink of extinc-tion. Founded in 1973, the NWTF is headquartered in Edgefi eld, S.C., and has local chapters in every state and Canada.

According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North America’s wildlife history. Through vital partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF mem-

bers have helped restore wild turkey popula-tions throughout North

America, spend-ing more than $372 million to conserve nearly 17 million acres of habitat. Wild turkeys and hun-dreds of other species of upland wildlife, includ-ing quail, deer, grouse, pheasant and songbirds, have benefi ted

from this improved habitat. NWTF volunteers bring new hunters and conservationists into the fold, approx-imately 100,000 every year, through outdoor education events and Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin’ Sports-men and JAKES youth outreach programs. The 2013 NWTF, Lincoln County Spurs banquet and fundraiser will take place Saturday March 23 at the Ruidoso Con-vention Center. There will be a live auction for several guided hunts, raffl e drawings for fi rearms and outdoor sporting merchandise,including a youth recreation area and door prizes. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. For tickets call 575-937-3011.

In 1986, world-renowned physician, Christian Barnard, MD, PhD, stated in a letter to an associate that he had been ingesting diluted Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) for his arthritis with astounding results.

Perhaps you have heard of Dr. Barnard. He is the physician from South Africa that successfully completed the world’s fi rst heart transplant. Dr. Barnard learned about H2O2 from a retired Postmaster named Walter Grotz whose work on the subject is now found in the Library of Congress. Grotz fi rst learned about H2O2 from Father Richard Willhelm of the Catholic World Health Organization in 1986 while on a Carib-bean cruise. Fr. Willhelm in turn claims to have heard about using H2O2 for arthritis and a host of other health chal-lenges from Dr. Edward Carl Rosenow (1875-1966) of the Mayo clinic. And so the story goes…

The use of hydrogen peroxide as medicine dates back to a least 1818 when French chemist Louis-Jacques Thenard started researching it and gave it the name Eau Oxygenee. Another pio-neer in this fi eld was Charles Marchand who published a book on the subject in the mid 1800s. In his 18th and fi nal edition of this book released in 1904, he included reprints of more than 140 articles published in medical journals from 1888 to 1904 outlining the uses of H2O2. These uses included successful treatment of pneumonia, scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, tonsillitis, various cancers, lupus, tuberculosis, gastritis, gangrene, urethritis, ear infec-tions, sore throat, cholera, measles, en-dometriosis, hemorrhoids and periodon-tal disease just to name a few.

So what is H2O2?We all know that water is H2O

right? Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a

water molecule with one extra atom of oxygen added. H2O (water) plus O1 (oxygen) = H2O2. H2O2 is a super oxygen-ator that interacts with our blood in a matter of seconds and works to provide an aerobic envi-ronment where disease and anaerobic invaders cannot survive.

Another key player in this fi eld was William Campbell Douglas MD, who wrote “Hydrogen

Peroxide – Medical Miracle.” In his book he states that H2O2 is involved in all of life’s processes. Dr. Douglas goes on to explain the function of our cells called Granulocytes. These cells produce H2O2 and work as our bodies’ fi rst line of defense against every type of invading organism including para-sites, viruses, bacteria and yeast. Sixty percent of our white blood cells are comprised of Neutrophils, which are special H2O2 producing granulocytes working to keep the bugs away. Today H2O2 is being used to treat a host of new and old diseases. Most of us are familiar with the 3 percent dilution of H2O2 that is found in a brown plastic bottle at the drug store. This form of H2O2 has some preservatives in it and is not recommended for internal use but it is very effective for treating external wounds against infection. In our next edition we will explore the ways the H2O2 can be used to aid the body’s abil-ity to heal.

ROSWELL — The Roswell Police Department (RPD) Records Management System (RMS) went live earlier this month. Members of the RPD participated in many weeks of training on the new computer system, Sunguard. Sunguard will replace the current and outdated system. The sys-tem will benefit both the RPD as well as residents of Roswell.

A couple of benefits Sunguard provides to RPD: streamlining how reports are made and filed. The public is expected to have access to certain portions of the online system in May or June.

One of the many features the online system will have is to allow individuals to review and print reports from the comfort of home.

Studio visit: A chat with Peter Renich, photographerBy Rosalyn Stevenson

Peter Renich, Lincoln County local, is well known as a web master. Perhaps not so well known is that he is also a photographer. In the following brief interview he revealed some of his thoughts about photography.Renich: Recently I have been seeking to answer the question: “Can photography be more than docu-mentation? Can the end result, the photo itself be more than a document? Can it be a work of art?”

I’ve been going through many of my past photos in a process to fi nd some of those which are most closely expres-sions of who I am; they reveal some-thing to me about myself. Each one of these I’ve selected reveals a sense of solitude, something that I think is a part of the New Mexico landscape and of myself.Composition is very important to me.

The placement of the fi gures in the photo of the costumed people in one photo, is de-liberate, in order to expand on the idea of solitude, even isolation. Similarly with the photo of the house in a New Mexico landscape.With the exception of the photo of the girl looking through the window, there is also a demonstration of altering reality to make an image that is more personal, that is fi ltered through my own imagination and experience, that introduces the human element. I believe the photographer should interject his

or her personality into their photos.In the photo of a fi eld of yellow fl owers, there is the action of merely documenting the fi eld. By adding the unexpected element of a woman with a black umbrella into the fi eld, the image becomes more personal, more of a statement. I would like for the viewer to have an intuitive reaction to the photo-graph. Is it art? Does the viewer think so? That is the question.

Dr. Stephen RathFusion Medical Center, Ruidoso

Reader question of the week: “You recently started a friend of mine on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using testosterone pellets. I was surprised to hear that her hot fl ashes and night sweats went away even though she isn’t receiving any estrogen or estradiol. Can testosterone fi x all the menopause symptoms?”

Answer: Yes! Testosterone can fi x most (if not all) symptoms associated with menopause as well as other non-menopausal symptoms. Menopause actu-ally occurs because the body’s precursor hormones (testosterone and androstenedi-one) decrease to the point that there isn’t enough to convert into estradiol. Testos-terone is converted to estradiol in fat cells by the enzyme aromatase. I do place a few patients on estradiol pellets if their estrogen symptoms (hot fl ashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness) are unbearable, but most patients have more relief when the body is allowed to naturally convert testosterone to replace estradiol.

The body typically responds bet-ter to natural processes. While my last article called for a paradigm shift in how physicians and patients both respond to medical problems, this week’s article will focus on how physicians can use medicine to restore normal function. To review: Physicians better serve their patients by treating symptoms and using laboratory and clinical tests to validate the symptoms (treat the patient and not the paper). Patients need to hold physi-cians accountable for providing good health care (ask questions, be involved, and expect wellness counseling). I would like to continue the call for change by discussing how we all can improve our response to aging or the loss of normal.

Aging is a natural process and certainly beats the alternative. Aging is not a graceful process. Aging entails a lot of negatives: decreased memory and concentration, decreased energy levels, decreased restful sleep, decreased libido, and for men, decreased erections. The increases? Increased risk of osteoporosis, increased cholesterol levels, increased blood pressure, increased anxiety, and

increased depression. Feel free to add in a few of your own. Defi nitely a huge com-bination of not graceful!

What can we do to miti-gate the negatives associated with aging? A healthier life-style is a great place to start. Better diet, more exercise, weight loss, and smoking cessation (if necessary) all contribute to a healthier you.

Interestingly, the symptoms listed in the paragraph above which we typically asso-ciate with the aging process all respond to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

As a nation we are using up our natural hormones faster than ever before. Our high stress lifestyle, which usu-ally includes poor sleep, poor diet, and lack of exercise, causes a decrease in hormone production at an earlier age. While the standard of care isn’t to check women’s hormone levels prior to starting BHRT, I do need to look at a few lab tests for the guys. Similar to the military testing showing pre-pubertal testosterone levels in young men exposed to combat stress; I have seen men as young as 22 with low free testosterone levels. Our stress and sex hormone levels are peak-ing sooner and falling faster than ever before. At the same time, we have added to our average longevity. The result? We live longer feeling like we are dying.

Stress does bad things to your hor-mone levels. Adequate sleep, a good diet, and exercise all contribute to decreasing stress and maintaining normal hormone levels for as long as possible. Even when you are doing everything right, environ-mental factors beyond your control will likely cause you to outlive your ability to adequately produce the hormones you need. Feel like your body is running on empty? I can help.

Reconstructing me, cancer freeBy Carol Brophy

It is amazing what doctors can do these days with so little to work with. That’s me little, not much skin or fat to spare. I may be a grandmother but I don’t think of myself as old, not yet anyway and I still want to look and feel my best. So I made the decision to go through one more operation. So far I have had one breast removed, an expander inserted under my skin to stretch it out; they add saline every other week in this process. Then it’s removed once the desired size is achieved, in my case just a little bigger than I was before. This was very uncomfortable, it just plain hurt in the end. The next step implants on both sides to create an even appearance. Well, one side never dropped and the other side dropped too much. I guess I could have lived with this, you would not know if you saw me, but I also had some scar tissue that was very uncomfortable as well. I have gone through too much to give up now.

The Cancer Treatment Centers of America made all

our travel arrangements, picked us up at the airport and took my hubby and me to the hotel. The next morning started early at 6:30, blood work, EKG, mammogram, oncologist, pre-op physical, pre surgical appt., as well as meeting with the dietician and naturopathic doctor. It was a long but productive day, but before I left the hospital I had the results of all my tests, cancer free!

I didn’t sleep well that night with so much going through my mind. I was so excited about being cancer free, but nervous about the operation hoping it would go well. Am I expecting too much? I don’t know what I might look like or what to expect having not seen photos. Early next morning 5:30 a.m. I was at the hospital, it didn’t take long before I was back in pre-op and dressed in that wonderful blue paper gown, hair net and bootees. I was glad there were no mirrors; my hubby was a sweetheart holding my hand and mak-ing me laugh. Before I knew it I was in my room and found out all went well. I don’t remember much in-

between. It didn’t take long before I relisted how to get out of bed with the least amount of pain. Not that my pain wasn’t under control, just that it hurt more getting out of bed. The good news I think I look a lot better.

My operation was on a Tuesday, I was home on Friday, which was also the last time I took any pain meds. I have been doing my stretches, but I can only lift eight pounds for the next six weeks. I can go back to the clinic to work-out; I can still do lower body, cardiovascular, and light weights for the upper body. Being in good physical shape has helped me to recover much quicker, I am sure.

Carol Brophy

Many studies have concluded that our food is not as healthy as it once was. This not only includes the fact that we consume too many processed foods, but our current food production practices affect our whole foods as well. Whole foods are foods that have undergone minimal processing, therefore closer to their natural state. To help us understand this com-plexity, I shall use an orange as an example. So here is some food for thought to help us understand our current food production:• Pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers

are often used in the manufacturing of our or-anges.

• Fruits and vegetables have the highest nutritional value and benefi t for the body when they are freshly picked and eaten. While oranges have their own harvest season; which in the U.S. is usually autumn, winter and spring; depending on the species, oranges are available to us all year long. Because we enjoy oranges in the off season months, many of them will come from other countries. The stickers on our fruit and veg-etables will usually tell us where they came from and this winter I realized some of my oranges came from as far away as New Zealand. Because the oranges came from such a faraway place, I could only question their nutritional value which I understand is somewhat lower, than if I had picked them off a tree myself. It is my under-standing that once we pick nature’s gifts off the vine or tree, they begin to slowly die.

• According to my fourth edition copy of “Pre-scription for Nutritional Healing,” written by

Phyllis A. Balch “Natural sunlight contains the full wavelength spectrum needed for maintain-ing health. It triggers the impulses that regulate most bodily functions.” If this is a consideration for the human body, my guess would be that this should be considered for all living things. During the commercial production of an orange, the oranges are picked off the tree and are then packed in a box and stored during transportation and shipping. During this time, the nutrient value becomes less due to the lack of sunlight, which is benefi cial for all of nature’s creatures.

• Another question I have is “where did the seeds go?” As a child, I remember a time when there used to be seeds in my oranges, but these days

there are none. As I try to understand our cur-rent agriculture production, I’m not sure if the oranges are genetically modifi ed to not produce seeds as there is now such a thing as a “seed pat-ent” or because when nature knows that things are not right, it will not want to create new life.

• Another common questionable practice in orange production is the practice of dying our oranges to look brighter and more colorful to entice us to purchase them as we have all been exposed to the “perfect-looking” orange through media sources. As we expose ourselves to these dyes over and over again I can’t help but wonder if the dyes have any effects on the human body. While these are just a few thoughts to make us

question our current food production, I also have a few suggestions to help us make better choices.• We can purchase organic when available and

affordable.• We can learn to garden. With online information

and community gardens sprouting up every-where, we can learn to produce food with love and care, as well as minimize unnecessary prac-tices that may be harmful to our food.

• We should support our local farmer’s market where food is fresher and less time is spent in a shipping crate.While many questionable practices are used in

the production of our food, it’s up to us to use the power of our shopping dollar to let businesses know we want wholesome and fresh food. So let’s change our current food system by supporting a healthier way of production.

Questioning our current food production

By Danielle Jet Jones On March 9, many gathered at

Mountain Annie’s Center for the Arts, in anticipation of the crowning of Miss Outstanding Teen Ruidoso and Miss Ruidoso. Miss Ruidoso is part of the Miss America system of pageants, and supports their main sponsor, Children’s Miracle Network, who provides com-fort, treatment, and hope to millions of sick children each year. “Everyone who enters this pageant is a winner” stated host Barbara Westbrook as she kicked off the ceremony.

“We’re very happy that the Miss New Mexico scholarship pageant has found a home here in Ruidoso,” remarked Candice Bennatt, former Miss Ruidoso and Miss New Mexico. Bennatt was accompanied by Ruidoso Mayor Ray Alborn to crown the winner. The contestants included Madison Stone and Tatitana Magana for Miss Outstand-ing Teen Ruidoso, along with Catherine Compton and three others to compete for Miss Ruidoso.

After each contestant introduced themself, they competed fi ercely in

four categories: physical fi tness, talent, interview and evening wear. Talents ranged from Irish dancing and singing, to a cello performance. In the fi nal stage of the pageant, Westbrook asked them a series of nerve-racking questions. As each contestant answered with poise, the audience heard what was important to them as they presented their plat-forms. Each platform varied, but each has the same goal. They all seek to help improve the lives of fellow New Mexicans.

Points were counted and tallies were taken as the six nervous contes-tants awaited their fate. Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived, the crowning point. The audience exclaimed as Tatitana Magana was crowned Miss Outstanding Teen Ruidoso and Catherine Compton took her new title as Miss Ruidoso.

“It feels awesome to be Miss Out-standing Teen Ruidoso,” said Magana “this is my fi rst pageant, and there are many more to come.” As people hugged one another in celebration, Miss Ruidoso Catherine Compton took a

moment to state, “I worked so hard to get here. I have been in many pageants, but they all paid off. This is surreal.” Compton plans on continuing through the Miss New Mexico pageant in June and hopes to represent New Mexico in Miss America. “These little girls are grown up and are now like queens or princesses,” declared Westbrook as she congratulated each contestant on their hard work and dedication.

These pageants are not just about a pretty face, but living with high ex-pectations for themselves and others. There are many rewards and benefi ts for competing in a Miss America organi-zation pageant. They are the world’s largest provider of scholarships and op-portunities for young women. They help young women to make a difference, gain experience, and create opportunities for themselves and others. The Miss New Mexico pageant will be held at the Spen-cer June 16 and asking for your support. For more information feel free to contact Carol Henry, executive director of Miss New Mexico by phone 575-430-5523.

‘The Story of My Life,’ by J.R. Sanchez Part 1Excerpts from his book, published post-mortem in 1994. The

original manuscript was written in Spanglish and thus the transla-tion is choppy.

Chapter: Los AngelesI began to get that fever of going to California like many of

the other boys. One day, I told Dad that I wanted to go to L.A… “Well,” said Dad, “You have been a good son and I think I can trust you to go there before you are 21. Go talk to your mother and see what she says.”

About a week later, with my parents’ blessing, I left for Los Angeles. This was the fi rst time I was going to be away from home. Clarence had brought a new car and had plenty of money. Mrs. Jiron, Clarence’s mother was going with us. I asked him how much he was going to charge me for the ride. He told me that he was not charging anything. Well, I thought, that was mighty cheap for such along ride …

We arrived in Los Angeles one afternoon. As we entered the city, Clarence asked me for Emil’s address. (The boy of the family I had arranged to stay with.) I looked in my wallet and the address was not there! I looked in my pockets and in the suitcase, but to no avail. He asked me if I could remember the street. He parked the car and waited for me to remember something. I kept thinking and thinking. Finally, I remembered the street name was some-thing like Griffi n. We went to Griffi n Street right away as he knew the city pretty well. We drove once or twice through the street but could not fi nd anything. I had told Clarence that Emil had a Model “A” car and that the house had a small porch in front “Well, I guess,” he said, “why don’t you stay with us until you write home and ask for the address.” We had agreed to that when he thought of Griffi th Street. “By golly,” I said, “that is the street!” “That is out toward Lincoln Park”….

Chapter: Joseph ReynoldsI stayed with Emil and Ruby. They treated me very good; he

even gave me money to spend. The fi rst week with them, I wrote Dad and Mother and told them that the following morning I was going out to look for a job. I had arrived in Los Angeles with a couple of bucks in my pocket. That following day, Emil and I went looking for a job. We started downtown. I saw a lot of signs that read ‘Bus Boy Wanted’ or ‘Dish Washer Wanted.’ But Emil kept going. All he would say was, “That’s no good. Let’s look for something better – or at least a better looking place… Let’s go to Broadway,” he said. “Maybe we can fi nd something there.”

Soon we came to a very nice looking place. It was a coffee shop with a cafeteria in the basement. Both of these establish-ments were owned by “Leighton’s”. The cafeteria was on Broadway; the coffee shop on Spring Street. There was a sign on the big window of the coffee shop which read ‘Bus Boy Wanted’ and underneath it read ‘Must be White.’ “Well,” I said, “I guess that’s it. They don’t hire Spanish boys here.” “No?” said Emil. “Just leave

that to me. You wait for me here. I am going to apply.” I guess he understood the sign better than I did. After a few minutes, Emil came out with a big grin on his face. “What happened?” I asked. “Nothing.” He answered. “I just have to start in the morning! Boy, what a place.” …

Emil worked for about three days. One night he said, “Tomor-row, you go and tell them that I am sick and that you are going to work for me until I get well. But remember you are going to work there on one condition.” “Yes,” I said, “What is that condition?” “That you will have to change your name.” “Oh, no,” I said, “I am not going to change my name for that job. Besides, I have never done that kind of work. They may not want me.” “Yes, they will.” He said, “There is nothing to the job. You’ll learn in no time.” I got to thinking and then said to myself, “If I came to California to work, I might as well work.” “All right, Emil. What’s my new name?” “Your name will be Reynolds Richardson.” I repeated the name and said, “Of all the names in the world you had to pick that one!” “Well,” he said, “That’s the fi rst one that came to my mind, and you know I had to give a prompt answer.” I said, “Let me be your cousin instead of your brother and let me pick my own name.” “I am going to use the name of Joseph Reynolds.” “That’s not bad name at all. In fact, it fi ts with your real name of Jose Reynaldo.” “It beats Richardson all to hell,” I said. “Now, give me a good description of my duties at the shop.” He explained to me everything I had to do.”….

To be continued

Jose Reynaldo Sanchez was born in Patos, New Mexico, near Carrizozo in 1907. J.R., a writer at heart, embarked on many ad-ventures, including seeking fame and fortune in Hollywood. With his family having a claim to some land and a woman a claim to his heart, he ended up in Tularosa. Reynolds never stopped writ-ing and was able to publish and produce two songs. One is “My Tularosa Rose.” This song is provided by the daughter of J.R. Sanchez and Tularosa Rose Sophia, Mary Lily Aguilar, who turns 80 this week. Happy Birthday, Lily.

My Tularosa RoseBy J.R. Sanchez Some say I am from SilverSome say from AlamosaI am from near hereA place we call Ruidoso As I was passing byThe town of TularosaI had to stop and seeThe rose that was for me Yes, as I was passing byThe rose was there for meI said, as I went byThis was the rose, I wanted to see Some say I am an outlawSome say I kill and stealSome day you all will knowI have a gun but I don’t kill My Tularosa roseA girl I can’t forgetShe is graceful, she is sweetLoving her I’ll never quit As I was passing byWith roses here and thereThis fragrance in the airWith tender sweetness everywhere As I fi rst saw my roseWalking down the streetBlack hair and rosy cheeksShe looked so nice and very sweet My age it doesn’t matterMy height is fi ve feet sevenMy hair is rusty brownAlways riding from town to town Passing, passing byHow can I go onI knew it from the startThat she would be my own As I was passing byI changed my mind that dayThat I would not go onBut I was there to stay A gun I always wearMy bullets don’t go wildMy horse is always readyIn case I have to ride
