The role of the Rotary Club in the making of ENMU-Ruidoso

The first presence of ENMU Portales in Lincoln County was prior to the incorporation of the Village of Ruidoso in the 1940’s.

In the sum-mer of 1940 and 1941, ENMU-Ruidoso held college classes for teachers at one of Lincoln County’s early public schools, now the Ruidoso Athletic Club. In the late 1950s, ENMU-Ruidoso held theater classes in Ruidoso under a large tent located at what is now the USFS Smokey Bear Ranger District Headquarters. A decade later, in 1968, the dream of a college grew. A local citizen task force tried without success to attract a private college to the site on what is now the Kokopelli Golf Course and Club House. At that location, 150 acres were offered to Franklin-Pearce College - a small private liberal arts college in Vermont - regarding estab-lishing a ‘F-P western campus.’ The plan never came together.

In the early 1980s residents began an effort to bring a community college to the area. The Rotary Club appointed a committee called the Commu-nity Development Committee (CDC) headed by Ray Bishop. Members included Rod Adamson, Bill Karn,

Richard Sandoval, and Dick Swenor. According to Adamson, Buddy Bundik (Texas New Mexico Power) and Don Shaw (Pioneer Bank) were also active with the endeavor to bring a college here. The committee was trying to at-

tract new businesses to the Ruidoso area and they sought a year-round, clean business that would stimulate

the economy.Initially, the

CDC contacted UNM, NMSU and ENMU. On Nov. 10, 1982, representatives

from ENMU met with the Rotary

Club. Portales reported that by state law, no colleges could be founded, but that an off-campus instruc-tional center could be established. A December meeting determined that high school students and school superinten-dents from Capitan, Carrizozo, Corona, Hondo, Ruidoso and retirees would be surveyed along with parents, individu-als and businesses associated with the Ruidoso Chamber of Commerce.

To attend college, Lincoln County residents could attend UNM, ENMU in Portales or Roswell, or NMSU in Las Cruces or Alamogordo. Driving to these locations placed a great of financial and time burden on working people, parents, and non-traditional families. Similarly,

Taos created a UNM branch in 1990 to avoid commuting and piecemeal pro-grams from colleges in the region.

To create a community college, the CDC had to follow the process outlined by the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education. The Ruidoso Mu-nicipal School Board comprised of Rod Adamson, Dr. Lynn Willard, Mike Mor-ris, Stormy Edwards, and Don Swalader became involved. Sandy Gladden, the director of Region IX, was at the fore-front of the effort.

ENMU Portales Vice President for Planning, Everett Frost, was asked to assist in creating the survey to document the need and desire for a community college. Surveys were conducted in July 1990. The “Postsecondary Education Survey” asked, “If basic college credit courses (i.e. English, mathematics, psychology, biology, etc.) were available in Ruidoso at a convenient time for you, would you be interested in enrolling in some of them?”

Survey results were explained in the July 1990 “Off-Campus Instruction Center Feasibility Study.” Comments made by Ruidoso High School students

were negative and positive. Among the few negative comments was one from a student who said: “I believe that the peo-ple of Ruidoso would complain about a college in this area.” Others were more optimistic: “It would boost our economy tremendously and is the best idea in this town” and “A college is a future.”

The next step was an election with a mill levy. Campaign materials paid for by the “Ruidoso Campus-ENMU Steering Committee” stated “Vote Yes Ruidoso Campus ENMU” noting that “Higher Education is the Foundation for Economic Development.” Materials also noted that it would only cost 1 mill and that for property appraised at $60,000 only $20 in taxes resulted.

On Feb. 5, 1991 the Ruidoso Mu-nicipal School District held an election for College Board. Also on the ballot was the question to establish a mill levy for the college. The tax levy vote was 614 for and 225 against.

After the election, the campus was looking for a campus director. Dr. Jim Miller became the first campus director on July 15, 1991. Classes began in late August 1991.

Nova Mud – Not forgetting where he came fromBy Marianne Mohr

What sets Nova Mud apart from so many firms in the oilfield is plain to see. It is Ken Bromley. But Ken won’t tell you that. Ken will tell you that the suc-cess of the firm that he, Scott Bromley, Chris Van Dooren, Rick Rippy and Bill Smith founded in 1989, sits squarely on the shoulders of his family of employ-ees. Such is this big man’s view of work and life, so different than most corpo-rations. Starting out in Fort Stockton with a wild streak (he owes much to then-friend and later to-be wife, Judy, for coaching him in high school) Ken began his career at the bottom in the oil-field. For 17 years he worked for other firms rising to the coveted position of Mud Engineer. And he loved his work. Sure sometimes he’d have to leave at odd hours or for days, but as long as he could spend the evening dinner and bed-time hours with his family, Ken did not mind getting that call and heading out at 11 p.m. Later, when mergers reduced staff and compressed engineer availabil-ity, Ken found himself without back up to attend his grieving family at the time of his father-in-law’s passing. By then Bill had coaxed Ken to start their own drilling fluid engineering firm - and with this last straw he finally agreed.

Today Hobbs is proud to call Nova Mud one of the top employers in Lea County and the Permian Basin growing from a two-man operation in 1989 to 45 employees last year - and more than 190 this year. Plans for a new corpo-rate office and trucking facility will be realized in September, moving from the downtown offices to a new headquarters on north Lovington Highway.

While drilling fluids and engineer-ing are the backbone of Nova Mud, other entities have expanded the breadth under Ken’s quintessential leadership. Road Runner Chemical delivers mud, chemicals and other drilling related

materials with more than 65 18-wheel trucks; Nova Mud Hardbanding and Frak Sand compliment the services of-fered to form a diverse and successful oilfield support operation.

So how does Ken enjoy his success? Well, actually he loves to work, it is his hobby. As he puts it, you can play only so much golf. He is a fan of Texas Tech, the Cowboys, fishing and his family is most important, but what Ken loves - is to be with his Nova Mud family. He is proud of what they have created and he enjoys just being with them – so much you’ll find Ken spending Saturday and Sunday mornings (before services at First Methodist) taking breakfast at the Iron Skillet with not only managers but often a couple of the guys. One of Ken’s key practices is to hand-pick his work family members and this seems to have helped Nova Mud rise to success. Each employee from bottom to top is person-ally interviewed by Ken. Then with Scott, his brother, at the helm as vice president of operations; Bill Smith VP sales; Rick Rippy engineering manager and Chris Van Dooren operations man-ager – as well as others, Ken has a hand-picked team. In fact Ken knows almost all his employees and providers, person-ally. Take his insurance man or technical writer, both friends from high school. When he travels to Fort Stockton he goes to the same gas station owned by a friend from high school. Nova Mud does not lose a lot of people. Ken works to protect employees from downturns and overall keeps employees for the long-term. Ken surrounds himself with good people because he feels that without the team’s effort he could not run Nova Mud, but as well he enjoys being with them. His friends are the people at Nova Mud.

But don’t get the idea Ken is a softie (well he was with me). Ken is a tough and demanding business man with big heart. It’s hard to know if Ken is goofing

(they like to joke at Nova Mud) when he says he “runs the com-pany by the seat of his britches most of the time.” Clearly he runs his vast businesses with savvy and polish, yet when asked “why the new HQ,” sure he’ll tell you it’s about streamlining the business, but what makes him smile is that in their new offi ces, “they can all be together.” The result of his policy of care and interest in people, Ken has trust in his team, feeling he can walk away and the business will run well.

So what kind of business advice does Ken deliver? “You gotta spend money to make money,” “Lots of people want to start or run a business but not many will ‘step up,’” and “You can’t be risk-adverse.” His fi nal insight: ”Money is simply not worth it if you can’t bring people with you.”

While Ken and Judy’s roots are in Texas, they have made Hobbs their home and give back to the community. Judy has been a school teacher here and recently retired. They enjoy supporting 4-H by buying livestock, the Humane Society, athletic programs and the Boys and Girls Club with mass purchase of

tickets for the upcoming car raffl e. Guess who got those tickets? Ken gave them to his employees. Ken feels that helping kids of Hobbs is important because they are the future and it’s our job to give them opportunities for a positive attitude.

At the end of the day, how many people do you know that can tell you they’ve done everything they’ve wanted to? Ken will tell you he has and that it’s been a “good ride”. He may be a proud, big man, but not too proud to tell you square in the eyes, if it all went away, that he and Judy would be just as happy in that little trailer yonder. And it’s all because Ken Bromley remembers where he came from.

‘Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two-Woman Show’ at Spencer

She’s a snappy old battleaxe, outspoken, bossy and irreverent. But, without question, that blue-haired Mama is so very rational – and funny!

Comedian Vicki Lawrence’s bril-liant alter ego “Mama” Thelma Harper is back, eager to share her observations about political happenings, cultural trends and domestic struggles with the same spit and vinegar that won hearts across the land. Lawrence, an Emmy Award-winning actress, will also be on hand, dispensing her savvy humor and performance memories from her cher-ished time on “The Carol Burnett Show” (1967-1978) and in her own spin-off series, “Mama’s Family” (1983-1990).

“Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two-Woman Show” at the Spencer Theater on Saturday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. is a multi-media stand-up comedy production that’s two shows in one. The fi rst half features hilarious sitcom and variety show clips and Lawrence’s

many behind-the-scenes tales followed by the support-hose-wearing, sassy se-nior citizen “Mama” in the second half.

Audiences see that, somehow or another, “Mama” hasn’t aged a day in the past 30-plus years. She was fi rst created in a sketch entitled “The Family” on the Carol Burnett Show. Featuring Lawrence as the loudmouth matriarch of a squabbling blue-collar

To recycle or not recycleBy Todd FuquaReporter

Recycling. What is – or isn’t – be-ing accepted?

That’s what Jim Miller, a local advocate for recycling and sustainable living, is working to educate the public about.

“What we recycle all depends on the market for those materials outside the region,” Miller said. “If there’s no market, we can’t collect it.”

That, Miller said, is why some materials such as glass or certain types of plastic are no longer being collected in Lincoln County.

However, Miller made a second point – that markets for recyclable products come and go. What isn’t be-ing collected today might be collected tomorrow, and vice-versa.

The reason for this fluctuation is that recycling is a commodity-based industry, much like timber or mining. The resources are only valuable if there’s a market for them.

One thing that makes these com-modities more or less valuable is how “clean” they are.

“Industry wants clean, sorted material,” Miller said. “When people recycle, they can’t leave bottles half

full, or mix different materials. We can sell it better if things are sorted out.

“Also, what we can get for mate-rial and what we can pay depends on how many times we touch the item,

how far it has to go, and the size of our

population,” he added. “You can collect a lot in Albuquerque, but not so much here.”

When it comes to what is and isn’t be-ing recycled in the area – par-ticularly plastics

– Miller said it’s pretty easy.

“If it’s a plastic bottle with a neck on it, we’ll take it. Things like soda bottles, dish soap and detergent,” Miller said. “As for plastic bags, either use them for trash bags or take them back to Walmart.”

There’s also been some confusion about what type of cardboard or paper products can be recycled.

“Cardboard is always the big one, and will always be accepted. Paper board is also good – such as cereal boxes,” Miller said. “So much of food packaging is paper board.

All of this should be clean of packaging, such as bubble wrap, Sty-rofoam and bags.

“The cleaner the item is, the more they’ll pay,” Miller said.

The Peak Fitness Challenge is a new partnership effort to encourage people to enjoy the many spectacular trails in both Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Franklin Mountains State Park to achieve their peak fitness level and enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of hiking in America’s great outdoors.

Said Vásquez, “this is a momentous occasion, and we hope old friends of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and new, will join us for a full day of fam-ily fun as we go into our fifth decade. With more than 80 miles of hiking trails through some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere, Guadalupe Mountains National Park is very much a hiking park.

‘Una tierra tan extraña’… ‘A land so strange’

The recently opened “Una Tierra Tan Extraña” … “A Land So Strange” exhibit at the Hub-bard Museum of the American West includes an intriguing section of color photographs by noted Santa Fe photographer Ann Murdy. The exhibit cel-ebrates New Mexico’s Centen-nial of statehood with artifacts and images from its own collections as well as from Ms. Murdy, the Library of Congress, the Spanish Colonial Art Society, the Maxwell Museum, and the School for Advanced Research.

Murdy’s large, sharply-focused im-ages of Santa Fe’s Indian and Spanish Markets, cowboys, and mountain men, present a sympathetic view of contemporary New Mexicans. On her website she has written “As a photog-rapher I am fascinated by cultural events, es-

pecially those events outside of my culture. These photos express my love of people and places.” Ann Murdy’s photographs reveal the persistence of ancient cultures and their enrichment of life in New Mexico today.

The Land So Strange exhibit of-fi cially opened in the Hubbard Museum’s Mezzanine Gal-lery on June 16 and runs through Feb. 8. The exhibit includes

800-year-old woven cotton textiles from the Four Corners Region that il-lustrate the advanced culture of Native Americans before the arrival of the Spanish. A reproduction of the Segesser hide painting from 1720 depicts a battle between Spanish troops from New Mexico and French troops with their Indian allies. Over the last four centu-ries, the cultures of Native Americans, Spaniards, and Euro-Americans have fought with each other, intermingled and evolved into a unique New Mexi-can way of life.

The Hubbard Museum of the Amer-ican West is located at 26301 Highway 70 in Ruidoso Downs and is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Visit www.hubbard-museum.org or call 575-378-4142 for information. The Hubbard Museum of the American West is owned and oper-ated by the City of Ruidoso Downs.

Energy-Plex reports robust revenueBy Grant TaylorCEO Hobbs Chamber of Commerce

In July 2011, the first month of fiscal year 2012, the City of Hobbs received a record gross receipts tax distribu-tion just more than $5 million. Crossing the $5 million mark was monumental.

The first month of fiscal year 2013 was no less a milestone: the City of Hobbs received a near-record distribution of more than $6 million for its share of gross receipts taxes – the second time this calendar year exceeding $6 million.

The oil and gas industries are the foundation of the tremendous com-merce in Hobbs. While Hobbs is a city of 43,000 residents, oil and gas activity – directly and indirectly – has filled city coffers enough to rival cities three times the size of Hobbs. The July check for the City of Las Cruces was approximately $6.4 million with a GRT rate of more than 7.5 percent, compared to Hobbs’s $6 million with a rate of 6.8125 percent. Members of the community are rejoic-ing as a hub city for smaller outlying communities and without the equivalent of an El Paso nearby— or an Albuquer-que, in the case of Rio Rancho.

Besides business-to-business trans-actions, workers certainly have more money in their pockets, which has trans-

lated to greater retail sales and other commerce. The GRT income generated for the City of Hobbs in July distribu-tion from retail trade was more than $1

million, compared to the City of Roswell’s $743,000.

The onus is on the Hobbs Chamber to capture more of those dollars for Hobbs, rather than have them

leak to Lubbock and Midland. That’s one reason the Hobbs Chamber of Com-merce rolled out the “Find It in Hobbs” campaign last year.

The Hobbs Chamber will intensify its focus on enticing Hobbsans and residents within the 55-mile-radius trade zone to find what they’re looking for in Hobbs, in order to reduce so-called ‘leakage’ dollars to other markets.

With an allocation from the City of Hobbs, the chamber will open the throttle on the buy-local and hub-city Find It in Hobbs marketing.

The Hobbs Chamber and others are working to keep Hobbs’ growth on a long-term upward trend in a variety of ways, and one of the ways is to share great news with not only outsiders, but with local residents.

Consumer and investor confi-dence, from the inside out, is going to help Hobbs to continue with forward momentum.

Fracking – an emergingeconomy often misunderstoodBy Eugene Heathman

Once inaccessible, hydrocarbons are now positioned for extraction through a process called hydraulic frac-turing – the propagation of fractures in a rock layer, as a result of the action of a pressurized fluid.

Many geological hydraulic fractures in the earth form naturally, which can create conduits that natural gas and pe-troleum from source rocks may migrate to reservoir rocks. Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking, commonly known as fraccing or fracking, is a tech-nique used to release petroleum, natural gas (including shale gas, tight gas and coal seam gas), or other substances for extraction.

This process creates fractures from a wellbore drilled into reservoir rock formations. Although the first known use of hydraulic fracturing occurred in 1947, the modern technique making the extraction of shale gas economical was first used in 1997. The energy produced by injecting highly pressurized fracking fluid, including sand, creates new chan-nels in the rock, which can increase the extraction rates and recovery of hydro-carbons deep underground.

Proponents of fracking hail the economic benefits from vast amounts of formerly inaccessible hydrocarbons the process can extract. The multitude of economic benefits reach much further than the hole in the ground. Addition-ally, oil and gas companies conform to strict onsite environmental regulations. Diane Clayton of Nova Muds Nova Frac Sand division in Hobbs hails the overall benefits of fracking. “Fracking has developed an entirely new economy of its own. Not long ago, rail service to Hobbs was nearly nonexistent. Today, we run approximately 450 rail cars and distribute 60 million tons of fracking sand used to back fill the fractures per month. Since this time last year, Nova has added more than one-hundred new employees, mostly drivers to deliver the product to the fields,” Clayton said.

Clayton adds that surprisingly, most of the sand which can be partially coated with resin and ceramic granules

is im-ported by cargo ship from Asian markets including China. The Guar bean is a natural component and substitute for some of the chemicals used in the fracking process.

The Guar or cluster bean is an annual legume and the source of guar gum. It grows best in conditions with frequent rainfall, but tolerates arid con-ditions well. Approximately 80 percent of world production occurs in India, but, due to strong demand, the plant is being introduced into new areas includ-ing a location in south Texas.

“I see an extraordinary opportunity for the industry to produce the materi-als we now import in the United States. Think about it, we put farmers back to work; closed manufacturing plants can reopen to produce the granules; the once dying rail business can thrive again and more drivers means more trucks and more real jobs, American jobs,” Clayton said.

However, as with most heavy oil and gas industry procedures, fracking does not come without criticism. Oppo-nents point to potential environmental impacts which in some cases include contamination of ground water, risks to air quality, the migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface, surface contamination from spills and flowback. Clayton contends that oil and gas industry producers are constantly developing better ways to improve extraction efficiency while protecting the environment with new technologies.


As our government begins to work on their frivolous spending and learn how to cut back, maybe it’s time we review our own fi nances. If we take a moment to evaluate where we can spend less, we might realize there has been some irresponsible spending with our own funds.

It is amazing how a little of this and a little of that can take away from our pocket books. The one cost we often forget is the environmental cost. We need to be mindful of the everyday things we use. So here are a few tips to help save you money and prevent unnecessary waste:

• Replace some of your packaged snacks with fresh fruits and vegeta-bles – not only do you get wonderful health benefi ts from fruits and veg-etables, they also come in their very own eco-friendly packaging. Look for things in season, they are usually less expensive.

• By in bulk – purchase double roll toilet paper and try to stay away from individually wrapped items when possible, buy the larger pack-ages and separate it yourself. A great example of this would be to fi ll up a fi ve-gallon container of purifi ed water and load up your containers as needed, instead of purchasing indi-vidually packaged water bottles.

• Buy used – with so many sec-ond hand stores and online services such as Craigslist and eBay, do you really need a new one? Purchasing gently used items is a clever way to keep your money in your pocket.

• Be mindful of paper goods – use cloth napkins instead of paper ones, recycle newspapers to wash windows and get a nice streak free shine, or cut up old T-shirts and use as rags instead of using paper towels.

• Brew your own coffee – It is nice to indulge in the wonderful cof-fee our local shops carry, but to save money you could buy a gourmet cof-fee and make it yourself. On the days you can afford to splurge, bring your own coffee cup to the shop and they will fi ll it for you. This saves on paper waste by eliminating the paper cup and it also supports your coffee shop by saving them the cost of the cup.

It is important for us to start cre-ating fi scally responsible and environ-mentally friendly habits.

If we make positive choices like these, our children will learn from our behavior.

Building Brighter Futures Together


Driving to Las Cru-ces for the New Mexico Senior Olympics gave me time to refl ect upon many previous cycling competitions. As a “se-nior” competitor (those 50 and ascending), the events had become reasons to explore vari-ous venues and social-izing with inspirational acquaintances who continually reaffi rmed that aging is a participant sport and we are extraor-dinarily fortunate to participate. Due to a scheduling confl ict, my number one cheerleader would not be accompanying me on this national qualifi er.

Friends had told me to be very careful moving, fi lling, hauling, and placing the sandbags needed to divert the mountainside river that had tunneled through our neighbor’s basement and fi lled our garage by about a foot and a half. The great water diversion project of 2008 resulted in severe damage to one of my three bulging spinal discs. I then rode, walked, and lived myself into a dysfunctioning state that resulted in a painful, non-ambulatory condition which was to last for about two months. I almost waited too long.

Chris and I spent time with the surgeon discussing procedural options. I had been coping with back issues (like too many of us) for 40 years and had studied various theories and was fairly confi dent about what I didn’t want procedurally. The doctor said age (how many times have you heard that rationale?) was not on my side but I was

physically fi t enough to accommodate the “least intrusive” procedure (couple that term with “routine surgery” and the fear induced adrena-line rush is enough to rethink the entire situation). I just needed to commit to a focused exercise program.

After deciding that the Southwest Fitness gym best fi t my needs, the owner developed a post-surgery program that

would “take some time” to overcome the nerve damage and the years of biological imbalance that tens of thousands of bicy-cling miles “have built into (my) muscle memory.” I was out of balance.

“Going to the gym” proved an inspiring experience. I felt like the 98 pound weakling of the old Charles Atlas ads as I observed those with far greater challenges than mine. Some were young athletes. Some were post-accident or surgery clients. Some were Purple Heart veterans. And some were realizing that none of their high school clothing fi t any longer (a “bad” thing?). The doctor was right about the exercise but it took a lot longer than I thought to be “a con-tender” (Thanks Brando).

It had been one thousand three hundred and one days since the surgery as I stood on the start line of my favorite cycling event, the road race. Was I a contender?

It really didn’t matter. Participa-tion was and still is the key. I had done my homework for the ensuing test – I already knew the score.

family in the Midwest and Burnett as her ornery daughter Eunice, the skit struck gold with viewers and thereafter became a regular feature on Burnett’s variety show. So, when Burnett’s long-running variety show went off the air in the late 70s, it was natural to reprise the character in a spin-off TV sitcom that busted guts for seven years.
