It’s money timeBy Ty Wyant

Back in 1959 – when a gallon of gas cost a quarter and you could go to a movie for a buck –the All American Futurity was first run and the race’s purse caused quite a buzz.

“Did you hear? Those folks up at Ruidoso are starting a futurity and they’re running at a hundred-and-twenty-nine-thousand bucks.”

“What was that?”“Yep, one hundred and twenty

nine thousand.”Nobody had ever raced a Quarter

Horse for that much money. It was a time when a race with a purse of $100,000 or more gained elite status because it could be called “a hundred grander.”

Quarter Horse racing had its first hundred grander and the sport would never be the same. From that first dash won by Galobar, the All American Futurity has been the Quarter Horse race that changes the lives of winning owners, trainers and jockey. The win-ners form an elite club and more than a few horsemen have stayed in the game trying to gain that elusive All Ameri-can Futurity victory.

The All American Futurity has set many milestones. Moon Lark won the first All American Futurity with a $1-million purse and then Mr Mas-ter Bug took the first running with a $2-million purse. They were each trained by Jack Brooks, winner of a record eight All American futures.

Imagine. Here is this race that horsemen spend years trying to win

once and Jack has won it eight times. Little wonder his statue is in the sad-dling paddock.

This year’s All American Futurity reaches yet another milestone. The purse is up to $2.4 million and the winner takes $1.2 million. The total purse makes the All American Futurity the richest 2-year-old horserace for any breed in North America. The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies for Thoroughbreds each carry a $2 million purse. Also, the winner’s share is an all-time record for a Quarter Horse race.

This year’s race is a stepping stone to another record. In 2013, when this year’s foals are 2-year-old racehorses, the purse will be $2.6 million with $1.3 million going to the winner.

The All American Derby is also showing no signs of being affected by the economy. Like the All American Futurity, horsemen have stepped up and helped build the All American Derby into an iconic race with record purses.

A year ago, the All American Der-by set an all-time record with a $1.5 million purse and this year’s purse of $1.3 million is the third-highest purse in the race’s 37 renewals. Last year’s record won’t last long though. Projec-tions for next year’s All American Derby indicate that the purse could reach $1.8 million.

Times have sure changed since 1959. But, one thing about the All American Futurity has not changed. Folks are still buzzing.

The Lovin’ Spoonfulbrings ‘Good Time Music’ to the Spencer

In early 1965, a couple of New York rockers joined forces with a couple of New York folkies to counter the “British invasion” that was dominating the American music scene. The result was the Lovin’ Spoonful, a chart-top-ping quartet that combined the best of folk music and rock n’ roll with a touch of country to make tunefully sweet songs with staying power.

In a short fi ve-year span of time, they gave us such hits as “Do You Believe in Magic,” “Daydream,” “You Didn’t Have to be So Nice,” “Darlin’ Be Home Soon,” “Never Goin’ Back,” “She’s Still A Mystery to Me,” “Nash-ville Cats” and that great anthem for a hot July evening, “Summer in the City.” Additionally, when still pretty much youngsters in their careers, they wrote and performed two soundtrack albums for two directors, Woody Allen “What’s Up Tigerlily” and Francis Ford Cop-

pola “You’re a Big Boy Now,” and later wrote the theme song for the hit TV series “Welcome Back Kotter.”

In their prime, the Lovin’ Spoon-ful toured almost constantly and were one of the fi rst rock bands to perform on college campuses as frequently as they did in arena stage appearances. Since reuniting in 1991, the band (now a quin-tet) has toured hundreds of cities and countries worldwide and continuously reach new audiences with their stel-lar string of classics, all easily dubbed “Good Time Music.”

This chart-topping group, which was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, features three of the original band members – Steve Boone, Joe Butler and Jerry Yester – to-gether with Mike Arturi and Phil Smith.

They close out the Spencer The-ater’s summer season with an evening of good time music on Saturday, Sept.

1 at 8 p.m. Excellent seats are available for $59 and $56.

Call the Spencer Box Offi ce at 575-336-4800 or go online to www.spen-certheater.com for tickets. A pre-show shrimp and beef kebabs buffet is at 6 p.m. Buffet tickets $20.

The concert is sponsored in part by Frank and Beth Sayner.

All American Futurity, derby qualifier video profiles to be featured on Inthegate.net

Inthegate.net will be featuring video profiles on all of the qualifiers for this year’s $2.4-million All Ameri-can Futurity (Grade 1) and $2.2-million All American Derby (Grade 1) at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack.

For the third consecutive year, the profiles will be produced and hosted by Tom Dawson, owner of Mirage Media Inc. and a longtime Quarter Horse racing televi-sion personality who has produced more than 500 live remote telecasts. Dawson’s human-interest profile on 2011 All American Futurity finalist Lotta Love For Robyn took second place in the Online Equine-Related Video category at the American Horse Publications awards banquet, held June 2 in Wil-liamsburg, Va.

“This will be the first year that we’ll be producing video profiles on all 20 of the All American Futurity and Derby qualifiers,” Dawson said. “The past two years, we’ve looked for human-interest stories on a few of the qualifiers, but this year we decided to expand our scope. They will be posted well in advance of the finals to give fans a capsule look at the entire field for each race.”

The All American Futurity and Derby are both contested at the clas-sic Quarter Horse racing distance of 440 yards, and they are the sport’s richest races for 2- and 3-year-olds,

respectively. The history of the Futurity dates back to its first running

in 1959, when Galobar earned the winner’s

share of a $129,686 purse. In 1978, the Futurity became the world’s first $1 million horse race, predating the Arlington Million Stakes for Thorough-breds by three years.

The All American Derby

began in ‘74. This year’s total purse of

$2.2 million will be a stakes record, and the

winner of the race will earn a berth in the Dec. 15, $750,000

Champion of Champions (Grade 1) at Los Alamitos Racecourse in Orange County, Calif.

This year’s All American Derby will feature three 3-year-olds who also raced in last year’s All American Futu-rity, including Lotta Love For Robyn, Bills Last and Futurity winner Ochoa.

In addition to Inthegate.net, the video profiles will also be accessible from the AQHA racing website (www.aqharacing.com), Ruidoso Downs Racetrack & Casino (www.raceruidoso.com), SureBet Racing News (www.sure-betracingnews.com) and Ruidoso Free Press (www.ruidosofreepress.com).

The 2012 All American Futurity and Derby profiles are sponsored in part by Lazy E Ranch of Guthrie, Okla.; the Heritage Place Sale Com-pany of Oklahoma City; and La Quinta Inn and Suites in Ruidoso Downs and SureBet Racing News.

Champion Noconi to make fi nal start in All American Gold Cup at Ruidoso downsBy Ty Wyant

R.D. Hubbard and Johnny T.L. Jones Jr.’s homebred Noconi will make his fi nal career start on Sunday, Sept. 2 in the Grade 3, $40,000 All American Gold Cup, a 440-yard race he has won the last two years.

Highlighting the Sunday card will be the Grade 1, $2.2 million All Ameri-can Derby and champion Ochoa, who is co-owned by Jones, trying to become Quarter Horse racing’s all-time leading money earner.

Noconi, the 2008 champion three-year-old gelding and 2009 champion aged gelding, has earned $1.3 million from 35 starts and all of those starts – ex-cept a Ruidoso Downs maiden race and a $37,000 allowance race – have come in graded stakes or trials. He has never started in a listed (non-graded) stakes.

The son of Mr Jess Perry and broodmare of the year My Dashing Lady, has been trained throughout his career by Paul Jones and his assistant trainer Lisa Saumell has overseen his daily care in New Mexico. His only starts outside of New Mexico have been one start each at Los Alamitos, Reming-ton Park and Lone Star Park.

Within New Mexico, Noconi won the Grade 1 All American Derby over Heartswideopen, the Grade 1 The Championship at Sunland Park and the Grade 1 Zia Park Championship. He also has graded stakes win in the All American Gold Cup (twice), Higheast-erjet Handicap (twice), La Plata Stakes, Lovington Handicap, Mr Jet Moore Stakes and Hobbs America Derby. He was third in the Grade 1 Rain-bow Derby.

“He was very studdish,” Saumell

said. “We gelded him (as a 2-year-old) and that made all the difference.” He was winless at 2 and concluded his juvenile season with the second in the Hobbs America Futurity. Therefore, the over-whelming majority of his earnings came as a 3-year-old and older horse.

“He has been ‘the guy’ in the barn. He’s a superstar. He’s like Planet Hol-land. They were born racehorses.” Sau-mell said. “He’s very intelligent. You can see it in his eyes. He goes out to the track every third day at 6 a.m., not 6:15; he knows the difference. It’s the same at feeding time. It’s like that with every good horse. They are very intelligent. You just take care of them.

“My favorite race of his was the All American Derby when he beat Hearts-wideopen. I was very proud of him that night.”

Noconi enters retirement in excel-lent condition. When Saumell told the farrer that he was putting on Noconi’s fi nal set of racing plates, the farrier responded, “Why are you retiring him? There’s not a mark on these legs.”

Saumell says that it will be a “sad-happy day” when he leaves the barn, but she is very appreciative of Hubbard and Jones. “I am very thankful that they are letting him go out with pride,” she said. Noconi will spend his retirement at Jones’ ranch in Quanah, Texas.

ENMU-Roswell health Science center receives silver rating

The Health Science Center Dental Clinic addition at ENMU-Roswell has received a Silver LEED certifi cation rat-ing from the Green Building Certifi cation Institute (GBCI). The organization recog-nizes excellence in green building practice and performance globally through its third-party certifi cation services and pro-fessional credentials supporting market transformation. GBCI ensures rigor in the design, development and implementation of the processes used to measure green building performance (certifi cation) and green building practice (credentialing).

The LEED Green Building Rat-ing Systems are voluntary, consensus-based, and market-driven. They evaluate environmental performance from a whole building perspective over a building’s life cycle, providing a defi nitive standard for what constitutes a green building

in design, construction, and operation. Each rating system is organized into fi ve environmental categories: Sustain-able Sites, Water Effi ciency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality. An additional category, Innovation in Design, addresses sustainable building expertise as well as design measures not covered under the fi ve environmental categories. The certifi cation rankings are Certifi ed, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

The Dental Clinic addition to the Health Science Center was completed in November of 2010. ENMU-Roswell thanks Chaves County taxpayers for funding the building, and Waide Con-struction, ASA-Architects in Roswell and Parkhill Smith and Cooper in Lubbock for their work in obtaining the Silver LEED certifi cation.

Airing of the Quilts at Sanctuary on the River a big successPlans for the 2012 Airing of

the Quilts Ruidoso Quilt Show are underway, and it is going to be even bigger and better than the 2011 show. Sanctuary on the River will again host the event that is directed by mem-bers of the “Stash Sisters” Quilt Group.” It will be held on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1 and 2.

Last year’s show was a tremendous success, bringing in vendors from across New Mexico and offering classes in some of the many facets of the quilting arts. The 2012 show promises to be an even better one featuring more vendors coming in from New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. The Stash Sisters are dedicated to building the quilting community here and bringing about an understanding that Ruidoso is an artists’ destination for all forms of art, including quilting.

Attendees will be extremely im-pressed with the uniqueness of the show and with the serenity they feel walking among the quilts hung from the rafters of Sanctuary’s beautiful pavilion. Quilts are protected from the elements, and can be observed in the natural glow of outdoor lighting. This is an ideal venue for an event of this nature, and it is widely felt that this show is going to become a nationally known tourist attraction for the village.

As noted, this year even more ven-dors have been added, giving patrons ac-cess to thousands of bolts of beautiful fab-ric, quilt patterns and quilt stands. Classes will again be offered, and early sign-up is recommended as space is limited.

Free demonstrations and trunk shows presented by many vendors and profes-sional designers will also take place in the gazebo area of the grounds throughout

both days of the show.Documented antiquities attributed to

this art form have been around since early Egyptian times. They range in nature from utilitarian quilts to those meant for purely decorative purposes. In 2012, four cat-egories of quilts will be hung for viewing: Large bed-sized quilts, Medium, Small, and Mini quilts. Viewers will be given the opportunity to vote on their favorite quilt in each category and prizes will be awarded at the end of the show.

Door prizes of basketed items donat-ed by vendors and quilt group members will be drawn each day. A silent auction that will include, among other things, one-of-a-kind quilted items, will also be held.

In addition, the Ruidoso New Mexico Centennial Quilt will be on dis-play and raffl e tickets for the quilt will be sold to benefi t the Make a Wish Founda-tion. The quilt was designed by Vicki Arnold, professional quilt designer with Sew Many Visions Pattern Company. It was quilted by Vivian Lucas, another local resident, and professional long-arm quilter. Every aspect of New Mexican culture was included in this queen-sized wall hanging, and the motifs, colors, and quilting make it a piece that anyone would love to hang in their home. Several

members of the Stash Sisters quilt group of Ruidoso did the appliqué on the quilt.

The Little Bear Fire of 2012 has presented a horrendous challenge to the community and its residents who lost homes and precious belongings that often included quilts handed down in families for genera-tions. Other communities within New Mexico and Texas who have survived similar disasters have donated quilts. The Stash

Sisters will present these quilts to certifi ed survivors of the Little Bear Fire during the quilt show Sept. 1 and 2. The quilts come in all shapes, sizes and colors. There are quilts for babies, youth, lap quilts and bed-sized quilts. Ruidoso and the Stash Sisters cannot thank the generous quilters

of Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Sierra Vista, Alamogordo, El Paso and the Ruidoso community for sharing their creations. Residents of Ruidoso and surrounding communities with quilts to donate are invited to contact Louise Estep, Quilt Show co-chair, at 575-258-1928. The Stash Sisters will fi nd just the right home for donations.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Commemorating New Mexico’s Centennial

The old west rides again in CarrizozoBy Sandi Aguilar with excerpts from carrizozostreetfair.org/cowboy-days

As the morning sun climbs above the Sacramento Mountains chasing the gray twilight shadows across the prairie fl oor, the momma cows can be heard calling to their young “come on… keep up.” It’s “Round-up Time” again on Shafer Ranch north of Carrizozo on Highway 54.

You’re invited. All of you. As it has been done for over a century, cowboys round up and punch the cattle to holding pens in preparation for shipping them to market. Using the same skills practiced by their fathers and the fathers before them, cowboys mounted on their cow horses will fi nd the cattle in their favorite hiding places and chase them out to join the main body of cattle. All the folks rush to the rail fence and search the horizon until they fi nd the tiny fi gures of cowboys chasing momma cows, steers and doggies

across the horizon.The break of dawn, the strong, grain-

fi lled coffee, and respect of the cowboy tradition can be experienced fi rst hand during Cowboy Days on Monday, Sept. 3 at 7 a.m. at Shafer Ranch.

Then, winding up the day’s activi-ties – of a parade and street fair – is a rip-roaring Ranch Rodeo. Differing from a traditional rodeo, the ranch rodeo is about what it takes to work the cattle and honing those skills. Teams of cowboys will display their skills at 3 p.m. at the Hemphill Arena by competing against each other in events like wild cow milk-ing, cattle branding, cattle penning, trailer loading, and wild cow doctoring.

Carrizozo, rich in the traditions of the past still living in the present brings Carrizozo Cowboy Days in conjunction with the Carrizozo Street Fair on Labor Day weekend. For more information call 575-648-2265; [email protected].

TVG airs All American FuturityTVG, cable television’s horse racing television network, will air live from

Ruidoso Downs Racetrack Labor Day weekend. The network which covers over 150 tracks worldwide will be following the coverage of the richest Quarter Horse race in the world, the All American Futurity. TVG can be found on Direct TV Channel 602 and Dish Channel 405.

Gilbert Ortiz receives Thompson Award Jockey Gilbert Ortiz

will receive the second annual Sam Thompson Memorial Jockey Award during the racing pro-gram at Ruidoso Downs on Sunday, Sept. 2.

The Sam Thompson Memorial Jockey Award is a peer-elected award. Each summer, ballots are mailed to Quarter Horse racetracks and active jockeys are invited to vote.

This year, the four nominees were: G.R. Carter Jr., John Hamilton, Fred-die Martinez and Gilbert Ortiz. Jockeys are asked to vote for the rider whose personal character on and off the race track refl ects positively on Quarter Horse racing.

“I was nominated last year and it feels good just to be nominated in a situation like this,” Ortiz said. “Winning this award means a lot to me because Sam Thompson was a good guy and did a lot for the Quarter Horse industry and in the jock’s room. It makes me feel good that people think I’ve accom-plished things off the track and in the jock’s room, as far as being a leader. It’s an honor to win.” Thompson died in a riding accident at Los Alamitos Race Course in 2008.

Ortiz was born on May 1, 1963, in Pleasanton, Texas. He developed his riding skills through his father, Freddie, who was a fi xture in the jocks’ room at tracks across Texas prior to pari-mutuel wagering. Ortiz began his career at the smaller non-pari-mutual tracks in Texas

when he was 15, but it was when he unloaded his tack on the Louisiana Quarter Horse racing circuit that he found his greatest success. His career highlights include the Dash For Cash Futurity (twice), Dash For Cash Derby, Heritage Place Futurity, Lee Berwick Memorial Louisiana Bred Futurity (three times), Longhorn

Futurity, LQHBA Futurity (twice), LQHBA Sale Futurity (four times), Refrigerator Handicap, Retama Park Futurity, Sam Houston Futurity, Bank of America Challenge Championship, Bank of America Texas Championship Challenge, Bayer Derby Challenge Championship and the Merial Distaff Challenge Championship

Ortiz and his wife Priscilla have three children and reside in Floresville, Texas.

Speedhorse Magazine, in con-junction with The Jockey’s Guild, developed the Sam Thompson Memo-rial Jockey Award, modeling it after the popular George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award at Santa Anita Park.

That Sunday afternoon will fea-ture the running of the Grade 1, $2.2 million All American Derby, the richest race for 3-year-old and older Quarter Horses. Champion Ochoa headlines the All American Derby and if he wins he will become the all-time leading money earning Quarter Horse. Also, champion Noconi makes his fi nal start in the All American Gold Cup.

2012 World Breastfeeding Week: The road to lifelong health begins with breastfeeding

The topic of World Breastfeed-ing Week 2012 (Aug. 1-7/Oct. 1-7) is “Understanding the Past – Planning the Future: Celebrating 10 years of WHO/UNICEF’s Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding.” Building on the concept that the Global Strategy serves as a roadmap for actions to protect, promote and support breastfeeding to achieve maximum health benefits, World Breast-feeding Week is being celebrated with the ILCA theme “The Road to Lifelong Health Begins with Breastfeeding.”

This road to lifelong health is not one for mothers and babies to travel alone.

“While breastfeeding is a learned behavior, it is important to remember that the journey to successful breastfeeding begins with support of families, health care providers, governments, employers and communities,” said Carothers. ILCA provides abundant resources, including a “Find a Lactation Consultant”

Directory that helps new mothers access local International Board Certi-fied Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) who can help navigate the way to successful breastfeeding and ultimately to sustained health. ILCA’s “Worksite Lactation Support Directory” provides a listing of IBCLCs with specific expertise in helping employers set up lactation programs to help mothers continue breastfeeding after they return to work.

For more information about World Breastfeeding Week or IBCLCs, visit the ILCA website at www.ILCA.org.

While malnutrition plagues numerous developing countries, rates of obesity are at an all-time high in many developed coun-tries, with the highest prevalence in the United States and Mexico. The health and nutritional status of mothers and infants are directly linked, making appropriate infant feeding a critical first step in preventing these and a variety of other medical condi-tions. “Poor feeding practices can lead to malnutrition and obesity, and contribute to an overall decline in the health and welfare

of the population,” said Cathy Carothers, President of the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA).

Research shows that infants who are not exclusively breastfed for their first six months of life are also more likely to develop a wide range of chronic and acute diseases and conditions including ear infections, diarrheal diseases, asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and respi-ratory illnesses. In addition, mothers who do not breastfeed are at an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Keeping breastfeeding high on the public health agenda is critical to improv-ing global health. Early and exclusive breastfeeding with the introduction of ap-propriate complementary feeding around six months of age ensures that both moth-ers and infants receive maximum health benefits.

The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, jointly developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), serves as a roadmap toward a renewed commitment to exclusive breast-feeding beginning in the first hour of birth to achieve optimal health outcomes.

The Global Strategy is celebrating 10 years of guiding infant feeding in 2012.

In celebration of World Breastfeed-ing Week, Hobbs WIC invites you to the Grand Opening of the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Office and Lactation Station.

Join us on Friday, Aug. 31, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. for a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house at the Hobbs WIC office, 1923 N. Dal Paso, Suite B, Room 34, 575-393-0197.

18X pilots graduate from AF’s fi rst MQ-9 Basic CourseBy Senior Airman Siuta B. Ika 49th Wing Public Aff airs

HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, — Student pilots participating in the Air Force’s fi rst MQ-9 Reaper Basic Course received their wings during a ceremony at the base theater Aug. 16.

This marks the fi rst time a student pilot in the Air Force Specialty Code 18X has completed the MQ-9 Basic Course without having been previously qualifi ed in a manned aircraft.

The basic course mirrors traditional Undergraduate Pilot Training, but also has some differences specifi c to the MQ-9 plat-form, said Lt. Col. Nathan Hansen, 29th Attack Squadron commander.

“There’s extra time built into the sylla-bus to allow the students to get more prac-tice, because they have to learn techniques they’ve never used before,” Hansen said. “A signifi cant difference and the reason why we can teach someone how to do this that doesn’t have any prior aircraft experi-ence, is because they will never come in contact with the Earth with the aircraft.”

Not having to focus on the launch and recovery aspect signifi cantly cuts the amount of training time, which could ac-count for 75 percent of training at tradi-tional UPT, Hansen added.

“We are here at Holloman for about six months, but we start at Randolph Air Force Base [Texas] then go to Pueblo, Colo., for initial fl ight screening, and then we go back to Randolph for instrument simulator train-ing,” Chad said. Chad, like many of his

classmates, is new to the operations side of the fl ying world.

“I’m a former logistics and mainte-nance offi cer, so this is very exciting, and a privilege because there were many people before us that paved the way,” he said. “The main thing I’m excited about is to go on to my operational unit to be fully trained, so ultimately, I can contribute to the fi ght.”

No matter what background the student pilots come from, they will now be part of “the tip of the spear,” Hansen said.

“Those wings on your chest mean that you now have a responsibility to lead your crew in accomplishing the mission in de-fending America’s freedom,” Hansen said during the graduation ceremony. “This is a pretty signifi cant responsibility and a sa-cred calling. When you’re at the controls of the aircraft, you’re the aircraft commander, so the buck stops with you.

It’s green chile season and the deli-cious aroma of the roasting of these peppers can be found at local grocers and markets everywhere. Green chile pep-pers host a variety of vitamins, including A, C, B2, B6 and vitamin K. Chile peppers also contain a variety of minerals such as Calci-um, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Potas-sium. Because chile contains such a high amount of vitamin C, they make an excellent choice for giving our immune systems a boost.

Green chiles are best consumed in their raw fresh state for optimum nutritional benefi t and make a great replacement for jalapenos in salsa or bell peppers in salads, but noth-ing compares to fresh roasted chile, check these recipes out:

Calabacitas – 1 yellow and 2 green medium sized squash diced, ½ cup of diced purple onion and 2 tomatoes chopped, 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn,1 ½ cups of fresh roasted green chile peeled and chopped (frozen may be used), garlic pow-der, sea salt and olive oil. Sauté onions and squash until

tender, next add tomatoes, green chile and corn for 5 minutes adding salt and garlic powder to taste.

Green chile sauce – 1 cup chopped roasted and peeled green chile (may use frozen) 1 chopped tomato, ½ cup chopped red onion, sea salt and garlic powder. Sauté the veggies until

tender and then add garlic powder and salt to taste. Blend sauce in a blender until smooth.

Green chile and sweet potato burritos – 1 sweet potato, cumin, garlic powder and sea salt to taste, 4 green chile strips roasted and peeled and fl our or corn tortillas. Bake sweet potato in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until tender. Warm tortillas and place a layer of green chile, next peel and slice sweet po-tato into chunks and layer on top of green chile, adding sea salt, cumin and onion powder to taste. Add some extra nutrition to this bur-

rito with some fresh veggies including salsa ingredi-

ents, such as tomato, onion, jalapeño

and cilan-tro along with fresh

spinach and avocado.

Hawaiian Royalty vies for second All American Futurity cupBy Eugene Heathman

Aloha from the cool pines of Ruidoso. Princess Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike III Kawānanakoa (born April 23, 1926) is the owner of Na-tive Tea Rose racing in the 2012 All American Futurity. She is an expert horsewoman and owner of ranches in Hawaii, California and Washington State.

No stranger to grade stakes racing, Kawānanakoa is a 20-year cumula-tive breeder of AQHA quarter horses; her horses’ many victories include the 1993 All American Futurity (Grade 1) with A Classic Dash and the 1995 Los Alamitos Million Futurity (Grade 1, now the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity) with Evening Snow. After winning “the richest race in the Quar-ter Horse world,” she retired A Classic Dash from racing to stand at her ranch, Lakeview Quarter Horse Ranch in California.

In her own name, Kawānanakoa as breeder has been represented by 107 winners from 139 starters, includ-ing four champions, 24 other stakes winners and the earners of more than $6.79 million. A native of Hawaii, Kawānanakoa maintains the breeding facility Lakeview Quarter Horse Farm at Nuevo, Calif.

Native Tea Rose was trained by Cody Joiner, the son and as-sistant trainer of leading trainer Mike Joiner and a successful trainer in his own right. Since 2000, Cody Joiner has conditioned the win-ners of 84 of 478 starts. His starters have earned more than $1.15 mil-lion. Joiner sent out Ter-rifi c Synergy to score in the July 28 Governor’s Cup Derby (RG2) at Los Alamitos – In futu-rity trial 7, surged clear of the fi eld by a length. In her July 3 trial to the Rainbow Futurity (Grade 1), Native Tea Rose fi nished third to

Blaze Carver, who went on to fi nish third in Carters Cookie’s $700,000 Rainbow Futurity (Grade 1) fi nal.

Aboard Native Tea Rose is Cody Jensen, a two-time winner of the All American Futurity, with champion Teller Cartel (2005) and No Secrets Here (2006), both of whom were trained by Paul Jones. Since 1993, Jensen has ridden the winners of 1,353 races and the earners of more than $24.4 million from 7,997 races.

Bob and Jerry Gaston bought Native Tea Rose’s dam St Pats Tea as a yearling, raced her to two graded stakes wins and nearly $100,000 in earnings, and the mare since has produced the earners of more than $1 million. They sold Native Tea Rose for $330,000 in the 2011 Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale.

Early lifeKawānanakoa was legally adopted

by her grandmother, Princess Abi-gail Campbell Kawānanakoa, in the Hawaiian tradition of hānai, at the age of 6. By the adoption, she assumed the surname of Kawānanakoa rather than Ellerbrock, the surname of her father.

Her aunt Kapi‘olani Kawānanakoa married Andy Lambert and although she divorced him, the only way her offspring Edward (Dudie), Poomai-kelani and Kapiolani received the Kawānanakoa name was by their moth-er going back to her maiden name and her children assumed the maiden name as well. She was educated at Punahou School, in Honolulu, Shanghai Ameri-can School, in Shanghai, graduated

from Notre Dame High School in Belmont, Calif., Dominican Col-lege, in San Rafael, Calif. and the University of Hawaii, in Hono-lulu, Oahu.

Iolani PalaceShe was the president of the

Friends of Iolani Palace (1971–1998). The palace was built by her great-granduncle, King David Kalākaua. Her mother was once its former president and the founder of the Friends of Iolani Palace. She took over immedi-ately after her mother’s death. She has been active in various causes for the preservation of na-tive Hawaiian culture, including the restoration of Iolani Palace. In June 1992, Kawānanakoa pleaded with activists to hold further sovereignty demonstra-

tions away from the palace after 32 dem-onstrators attempted to enter the building.

She is an expert horsewoman and owner of ranches in Hawaii, California and Wash-ington State. A 20-year cumulative breeder of AQHA quarter horses, her horses’ many vic-tories include the 1993 All American Futurity (Grade 1) with A Clas-sic Dash and the 1995 Los Alamitos Million Futurity (Grade 1, now the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity) with Evening Snow. After winning “the richest race

in the quarter horse world”, she retired A Classic Dash from racing to stand at her ranch, Lakeview Quarter Horse Ranch in California.

FortuneShe was heiress to the largest stake

in the estate of her great-grandfather, James Campbell, a 19th century industrialist from Scotland. When the estate was converted into a corporation in 2007, her share was estimated to be about $250 million.

Kama‘āina of the yearHistoric Hawai‘i Foundation

honored Princess Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike Kawānanakoa as the “2010 Kama‘āina of the Year” on Nov. 6, 2010. Princess Kawānanakoa was recognized for her contributions and leadership efforts to preserve and restore ‘Iolani Palace.

HeirKawānanakoa never married and

has no biological children. Her claim to the House of Kawānanakoa would legally pass to her fi rst-cousin-once re-moved, Prince Quentin Kawānanakoa who was groomed by his father Edward to accept this position, but her chosen heir is her adoptive son Prince David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa.

It seems to me that the National Broadcast-ing Company (NBC) provided an extensive variety of live and taped Olympic coverage that captivated American audiences to the point of viewer fatigue while providing inspirational experiences. The dedica-tion, monastic lifestyle, and competitive focus continually astounds me as I entertain my penchant for viewing the symphony of the mind/body fl uid-ity in non-arena sports; as a spectator I appreciate the up-close viewing of the small venue. Watching Matthew Emmons (USA) win his Bronze in one of the rifl e shooting events was the very antitheses of the Michael Phelps emotion displayed during his Olympic achievement.

I was gratifi ed when, after Medal 22, a commentator allowed that Phelps is without peer, the master procurer of Olympic medals. He then raised the questions: Is he the greatest athlete of all time? Indeed, is he even the greatest Olympic athlete of all time? The nata-torium was jubilant with the exploits of the swimmers of the short course events and I too was just as captivated as a three time Olympian set new bench-marks of achievement. And I waited for Connor Jaeger’s swim, the lone Ameri-can in the 1500.

Distance athletes are a breed onto themselves and many of us lesser mortals marvel at the time spent on task during the event. Due to the structure of some sport disciplines, the opportuni-ties to “medal” is abundant. As in most sports, the distance participant simply

doesn’t have the op-portunity to compete in multiple events. Connor Jaeger has one chance in each Olympiad to take home a medal. There is not much hoopla surrounding an almost fi fteen minute swim but the drama can be just as intense. Even when tele-vised live, NBC chose not to show it without major interruption. Did you see any of it during Prime Time?

And how about our six foot, fi ve and a half inch cyclist who, at 22 is the American Pro you’ve never heard of who holds six world titles and won Stage 4 at New Mexico’s Tour of the Gila last May. As a road cyclist (team BMC), he had two opportunities to medal in this (or any other) Olympiad, the road race and the time trial. One hundred and forty-four cyclists (all but three were professionals) started the 156 mile event and Taylor Phinney found himself a contender as more experi-enced riders were whittled away.

A crash eliminated Fabian Cancel-lara (Switzerland, 2008 Olympic Time Trial Champion) within a few miles of the race’s fi nish and the American squad felt they had a chance with Phinney, the youngest member. And after almost six hours of high speed chess (and cramps, nausea, and fatigue), Phinney missed the podium losing the sprint by the length of his bicycle. Over 27 mph. Al-most six hours. The most grueling event in the Olympics. Did you hear about the American who took Fourth in his two medal opportunities?

For many athletes, Olympic oppor-tunity doesn’t knock twenty-two times.
