Happy New Year to everyone!

The Christmas holiday is a wonderful time but there is something special about turning that corner and be-ginning a New Year. It is the excitement of starting fresh and the desire for change and improvement.

We have a lot planned in 2011 for you. We have heard a lot from readers about how they pick up the paper for ideas about things to do. We listened and are expanding our calendar of events to in-clude more events and fresh ideas for you to choose from.

Also a new monthly astrology col-umn will be added. Capricorn, Scorpio, Gemini or whatever your sign may be, you can read about what’s in the stars for you on the month of the prevailing sign so this month all you Capricorns see what we have found for you.

Future issues will include local restau-rant ratings and much more. All this will be in addition to the popular informa-tive articles that you have enjoyed from month to month.

I would like to invite everyone to make

plans to at-tend our 16th annual Prime Time 50+ Celebration on Saturday April 2nd from 8:30 to 3 PM again featuring the UNM Cen-ter for Life and Lovelace Health Systems for free screenings and medical advice. This is a great opportu-nity to meet with Prime Time advertisers. There will be lots to do and see along with some free munchies and loads of information.

I’m looking forward to 2011. I’m ex-cited about the changes we have planned and will introduce throughout the year. But most of all I enjoy hearing and read-ing the comments that you give me about the paper. Please continue to let us know what you think.

Enjoy the issue.

Your long-standing view and understanding of the world is in a state of instability,

leading eventually to momentous adjustments in your viewpoints and convictions, affecting all endeavors for the foreseeable future.

Anticipate significant challenges in your career. Changing jobs will not guarantee stability or work-place tranquility. You need to step back and assess the situation from

a fresh perspective and determine the root cause of the problem. Only then will you be able to make appropriate adjustments for mov-ing forward. Expect employment instability until midyear.

Your home life is stable and offers a comfortable sanctuary. You may become so secure in your surroundings that securing a temporary work-from-home posi-tion becomes a much needed fresh

alternative. Don’t linger

in this employ-ment status; continue searching until you secure a posi-tion that allows you to function in a group setting.

Your interest in home improve-ment and redecorating projects increases significantly. However, be prudent and cautions before making drastic changes. You have

become more at ease with yourself because of learning to enjoy what you have, which is essentially ev-ery materialistic thing you need.

Toward year’s end your financial status has improved. Spend within your means.

You will also feel a greater peace of mind due to your success in ef-fectively settling into a lifestyle of living in the moment.

Every January for the last 11 years theatre-lovers in New Mexico look forward to

Tricklock Company’s Revolutions International Theatre Festival. It has become the theatre event of the year in Albuquerque.

It was originally conceived by Tricklock’s founding artistic direc-tor Joe Peracchio, after studying and working with the Gardzienice Theatre of Poland. Revolutions is dedicated to bringing the world’s most “revolutionary” theater, comedy and other performances to the Southwest, highlighting the region’s heritage as a crossroad of global exchange and artistic in-novation.

According to Summer Olsson, the curator of this year’s Revolu-tions Festival who has worked on every one of the Festivals to date, this year’s lineup includes theatre companies from Armenia and Canada plus several from the U.S. Because Tricklock members tour their own productions and study in-ternationally they have established a global network.

This year Olsson is excited about an Armenian group which

is bringing its production titled “The Maids.” It is inspired by playwright Jean Genet’s piece, but takes it in a wholly new direction us-ing movement and imagery rather than language. (So you don’t have to under-stand Armenian to enjoy this work). This dance/the-atre version of “The Maids” will play at N4th Theatre, 4904 4th St. NW, Jan. 14 at 8 PM, Jan. 15 at 6 PM, and Jan. 16 at 2 PM.

Other touring produc-tions in this year’s Festival include:

“Something” by Mump & Smoot, a duo that turns conventional clowning on its head in a darkly humor-ous work that ranges from zany to macabre. Not for children! They will be in UNM’s Rodey Theatre Jan. 28 & 29 at 8 PM, and Jan. 30 at 2 PM.

***Solo performer Sean Christopher

Lewis performs “Killadelphia,” based on interviews with inmates at Philadelphia’s Graterford Prison who were employed to create the murals seen on buildings through-out the City of Brotherly Love while serving life sentences for murder. The piece gives a disturb-ing view not just of Philadelphia but of urban centers across the U.S. It will be playing at UNM’s Theatre X, Jan. 26 & 27 at 8 PM

and Jan. 28 at 6 PM.

***From New Orleans,

Louisiana comes Jose Torres Tama in “The Cone of Uncertainty.” This work views Hur-ricane Katrina and its

aftermath through a magical realist Latino voodoo aesthetic and com-bines personal stories, storm film footage, and a variety of characters, in a multimedia “live art” solo that is politically provocative, visually engaging and profoundly moving. It plays at the National Hispanic Cultural Center on January 21 & 22, 8 PM.

***From Chicago and Albuquerque,

“Urban Verbs” is an autobiographi-cal intersection of hip-hop and community, a multimedia perfor-mance reinterpreting Hip Hop's five elements. Hakim Bellamy and Car-los Contreras explore 21st century working-class Hip-Hop, building a bridge for commercial rap lovers and poetry purists alike, by being that place where booties can shake, heads can nod, hands can clap and minds expand in five acts. At 516 Arts, January 12 @ 8 PM.

****Two of Tricklock’s own produc-

tions in development that have already been seen in Albuquerque in earlier versions round out the featured productions: “Lullabies for My Father,” will be at UNM’s Theatre X Jan. 20 at 8 PM & Jan. 21 at 10 PM.

Julie Hendren’s “Waste Her” will be at Jan. 13 at 8 PM also at Theatre X.

The Revolutions Festival fea-tures other events including the Reptilian Lounge, Albuquerque’s longest-running, late night caba-ret, the Excavations New Works Series, karaoke nights and other special events and parties includ-ing a special Revolutions Improv Wrap encapsulating (and spoofing) Revolutions 2011. For information on the shows and tickets call (505)-254-8393. Ticket “passports” for multiple performances are avail-able on Tricklock’s website www.tricklock.com .

More FestivalsSpeaking of theatre festivals,

the Albuquerque Theatre Guild is sponsoring the Tennessee Williams

Festival 2011, a year-long festival of plays by or about the great American playwright, in honor of his 100th birthday. Kick-ing off the Festival is a special, one-weekend production at the Adobe Theater of “Mr. Wil-liams and Miss Wood,” by Max Wilk, directed by Phil Bock. This play, by biographer Wilk, tells of the 30-year relationship between the playwright and his supportive and powerful agent, Audrey Wood. Performances are at Jan 7 & 8 at 8 PM and on Jan. 9th at 2 PM.

There is good news for those of us old enough to remem-ber sitting in the KiMo The-

atre and enjoying movies on the big screen—filmed entertainment is back, big time!

When the KiMo opened in 1927 it offered both film and vaudeville entertainment to audiences eager to see the new “talkies” and their favorite live entertainers. Shortly after World War II the KiMo became a venue for first-run Hol-lywood films. During the exodus to the “burbs” in the 1960s and 1970s, downtown theaters went dark as large multiplex theaters were built and audiences flocked to the new sites. In 1977 the KiMo Theatre closed its doors and began a sad decline that had it slated for demolition. The City of Albuquer-que, recognizing the theater for the unique architectural and cultural treasure it was, purchased the site and began renovations that restored the KiMo to its former glory.

Recently, the KiMo’s technical capabilities were greatly enhanced with the addition of fiber optic/high speed internet service. This has allowed the KiMo to download High Definition films which will be enhanced with a new cinema-quality digital projector, which is scheduled to be operational by the middle of 2011.

The reopen-ing of the KiMo Theatre in the late 1970s was a momentous occasion for Al-buquerque resi-dents, but rather than returning to providing big screen entertain-

ment, the KiMo became primar-ily a rental facility. Over the past several decades the theater has become a vibrant part of Albu-querque's performing arts com-munity, playing host to a wide variety of local, na-tional and international events. Dance, drama, film, comedy, perfor-mance art, multi-me-dia events, and other unique performances all take place on the KiMo stage.

Now, through an arrangement with Emerging Pictures, a group that brings

amazing performances of opera, ballet, theater, concerts and more to the screen, the KiMo is offering several series that bring Hi-Def screenings of world-class entertain-ment to Albuquerque audiences. The intimacy of the KiMo brings the performances up close and per-sonal; it feels like being there front row center. Here’s what is to come.

Concerts in Cinema – screen-ings of major concerts from around the world that feature rock icons such as Bruce Spring-steen, The Grateful Dead, Leonard Cohen and others.

Opera in Cinema – Simulcast live from Europe’s most prestigious opera houses, performances from the famed La Scala in Italy of popular operas like Verdi’s “Aida,” with a cast of 300 and staged by Franco Zeffirrelli, Wagner’s “Die Walküre” from “The Ring,” plus “Cavalleria

Rusticana” and “Pagliacci.” And from the Royal Opera House in London, “Macbeth.”

Ballet in Cinema – From Russia, the Kirov Ballet’s “Don Quixote” and “Les Flammes de Paris” from

the Bolshoi. The new year brings a simulcast of “Giselle” from The Royal Ballet in Lon-don.

Shakespeare in Cinema – Productions from London’s Globe Theatre of “Love’s Labour’s Lost” and

“Romeo and Juliet.”Film at the KiMo Theatre – High

Definition screenings of films that defined the Golden Age of Hol-lywood, such as the “HI-DEF HITCH” Film Festival, and many more to come.

The KiMo Theatre will continue to play host to a wide variety of cultural performances throughout the year, but there is great ex-citement about the opportunity to once again settle back in the comfortable seats, share a box

of popcorn, and watch the action on the big screen.

The KiMo Theatre is a unique 1927 Pueblo Deco-style vaudeville and movie theatre. A registered His-

toric landmark, it is considered an architectural gem that is

visited by hundreds of tourists each year to view its elaborate Pueblo Indian ornamentation and the famous Von Hassler murals.

Operated by the City of Al-buquerque’s Cultural Services Department, the KiMo Theatre is the heart of Albuquerque’s cul-tural life. Centrally located at 423 Central Avenue NW (corner of 5th and Central), the KiMo has a large parking facility right behind the theatre at 5th and Copper.

with the Boy Scouts. He started an Endowment in 1970 with $100 that is now worth $3.9 million. He has strong convictions that Endowment gifts by their nature will sustain an organization far into the future.

Fred was a member of the Ron-ald McDonald House Charities of NM Board of Directors from 1999-2005. Hamptons have made generous Endowment gifts and a Planned Gift to the House that Love Built. Fred still spends his days helping kids and visiting hos-pitals. He encouraged the Buffalo Soldiers to make annual donations to the House.

He brings the AT&T Telephone Pioneers to the House each year for the holidays.

They decorate a tree with bears and Fred plays Santa Claus giving them out to our kids. He makes regular trips to the Navajo Nation with his truck full of donations. The Hamptons support 13 chil-dren’s organizations and endow-ments.

Fred says, “Once you get in-volved, you get deeper and deeper. Kids we helped years ago still call and thank me for making an impact on their lives.”

Our New Year’s Resolution - Renovating the House that Love Built!


A half century ago, when I was learning Spanish in the classroom, the teacher each

Monday wrote a dicho (wise say-ing) on the blackboard and daily had her young students repeat it. Come Friday, we knew the dicho by heart.

To this day, I can recall dozens of those little aphorisms learned in my youth. Years later, when I began to study New Mexico folklore, I was surprised to discover just how common dichos were, particularly in the speech of rural people. The brilliant scholar Aurelio Es-pinosa made the first collection of New Mexican proverbs or dichos, totaling 632, and published them in 1913. Since then numerous other books have been written on the subject, and several thousand of these short sayings have been identified locally.

Most cultures, of course, have something akin to the dicho. Benjamin Franklin made a habit of coining memorable sayings, starting with, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

In my library, I have an old book titled Advice of William Penn to His Children. In it, the venerable Penn advises: “The wisdom of na-tions lies in their proverbs. Collect and learn them, for they are notable directions for human life. They save time in speaking, and you have much in little.”

Spanish proverbs too have a way of expressing a great deal with an economy of words. Several that

come to mind: Saber es poder. (Knowledge is power.) Dinero llama dinero. (Money attracts money.) And Mucho ruido, poco trabajo. (Big talkers do little).

Dichos have been described as short guides to proper conduct, or put another way, as a condensed form of a well-known truth. They are especially useful to people whose knowledge is based largely on an oral tradition rather than on formal book learning.

As a Hispanic woman once explained: “Persons with little education depend on proverbs to make their point.”

Often Spanish dichos have a rhyming element so they are pleasant to the ear. Example: Las noticias malas tienen alas. (Bad news has wings . . . or travels fast.)

Prof. Tomas Atencio, a native of the Dixon area south of Taos, believes that dichos and other oral literature constitute a philosophy of life. The wisdom of the folk sayings is preserved and passed along, he explains, through the institution of La Resolana.

A Dictionary of New Mexico Spanish defines the word simply as the south side of an adobe building that absorbs the warmth of the winter sun.

In New Mexican villages, elderly men spent their afternoons seated against these sunny walls, swapping yarns and discussing all sorts of serious matters. Their speech was apt to be peppered with dichos.

Atencio concludes that La Resolana serves as the commu-nication center for traditional vil-lages. There, young people who drop by to listen are able to soak up their cultural history as well as the common sense lessons in the dichos.

The elderly sages, referred to as resolaneros, through their speech passed down ancient and honor-able traditions that trace back to the plains and mountains of Mother Spain.

Collectively, the huge body of dichos represents in our folk literature a marvelous treasure!

Warm up your winter willpow-er with a bowl

of oats.In Asian medicine, the

kidney organ dominates during the winter and also controls willpower. Warm the kidney with a bowl of organic Oats this winter and watch your life change.

Eating oatmeal for breakfast every day, fol-lowed by a walk where

you think about your breathing. This improves your diet, moves your body and invites aware-ness.

The key is to move your body after eating break-fast. Breathe as you move no heavy lifting if you don’t want to or medita-tive techniques unless you are inspired. Most impor-tantly keep mindful of the the simple presence of your breath.

Planning to eat the same thing every morning, in addition to using the time afterward for movement focused time, will guaran-

tee that you meet your goals every day.

Why oatmeal? Oats are high in fibers that as-sist the body in a number of ways. Beta-glucan, a fiber in oats, is excellent at removing plaque from the arter-

ies, lowering cholesterol and improving overall heart health. This same beta-glucan also helps neutrophils find and fight infections quickly and has been linked to stabilizing blood sugar in diabetics.

Soluble fibers attack the nasty LDL cholesterol and assists regulating blood sugar by slowing down the breakdown of starch. Insoluble fiber helps to render bile acids non-toxic therefore helping as an anti-cancer aid. Oats are a very good way to protect yourself from viruses, unhealthy cholesterols and blood sugar imbalances.

Traditionally oats have been used by herbal-ists in tea forms to treat nervous exhaustion and depression, which can be especially helpful during the darker winter months.

Oats are low in gluten and rich in nutrients, such as manganese, selenium, phosphorous, tryptophan, thiamine, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, dietary fiber and even protein.

Start your day this New Year with organic oats, movement, breath and good intention and you will be transformed by this time next year.

Abundant Blessings!

When I first started in the bug business almost 40 years ago, I had a morbid

fear of spiders. I don’t know if it was “arachnophobia,” but I certain-ly didn’t want to be around them. When I was in Southeast Asia dur-ing that war, I was more afraid of the spiders than I was of the enemy.

Arachnophobia comes from the Greek words, "arachne," meaning "spider," and "phobos," meaning "a fear." The fear of spiders may have had its roots in Europe during the Middle Ages. Spiders were considered a source of contamina-tion and any food that came into contact with them was considered poisoned. If they fell into the water it was thought to be undrinkable. Spiders were originally thought to spread the plague (Black Death) by biting people. Fear of the plague clouded people’s perceptions of the spiders and they were blamed for all sorts of illnesses and epidemics simply because they were present.

The fear of spiders has persisted in our society for a long time and it is actually encouraged by the pes-ticide industry. Many companies want to “control” spiders by spray-ing your home with pesticides. They are actually preying on your natural fear of the arachnid.

I am not a psychologist and will not try to tell you how to overcome your fear of spiders if you have such a fear. I will tell you what worked for me. When I got into the bug business in 1969, I didn’t know a cockroach from a caterpil-lar and I was deathly afraid of spi-ders. The first time I had to crawl under a house I was paralyzed with fear. I decided then and there if I was going to be successful, I would have to overcome the fear. I started by reading all the literature I could about spiders, I watched them spin their webs and stalk their prey. Finally after several weeks I let one crawl on me. Oddly enough it didn’t bite me and I didn’t have a heart attack. I went under houses and crawled through their webs. It

better.Although most spiders possess

venom glands, most are too small to break the skin with their fangs and have no desire to do so. All spiders will bite in self defense if they are handled carelessly, such as being squeezed. Most bites occur when people roll over in bed on one and get bitten or when they put on their clothes and a spider inside the clothing bites when it is pressed against the skin. I am not saying all spiders are harmless. Black widows are certainly capable of producing a serious bite and any such bite by this spider should be considered a major medical emergency. The brown recluse is also dangerously venomous, but they are only found in the eastern portion of New Mexico, although stray individuals can be trans-ported on commerce. Sac spiders and wolf spiders can give serious, though not fatal bites, particularly if you are allergic to any of the components of the venom. Daddy longlegs (aka harvestmen) are not at all dangerous despite their reputation to the contrary. Jumping spiders are interesting to watch but are not dangerous although a large one can bite if mishandled. Most of the small hunting spiders, such as ground spiders are incapable of hurting anyone. Let's look at a few of the spiders in our area.

Tarantulas are very large hunting spiders. You often see the males crossing the road after a rain. They are looking for females to mate with. Although they are fearsome looking, they are not at all dan-gerous. A large one can deliver a painful bite if molested, but they are not lethal.

The pillbug spider is a sinister looking arachnid. It is reddish in color with a gray abdomen and is often found under boards in damp areas. They feed exclusively on pillbugs and have long fangs to enable it to pierce their body. They can deliver a painful bite if mishan-dled but they are not dangerous.

Pholcid or cellar spiders fre-quently cause the cobwebs you see in the corners of your rooms. These long-legged spiders are harmless.

Comb-footed spiders (family Theridiidae) are a complex group of mostly harmless spiders, but this family does contain the black wid-ow. Even black widows are over-rated in their danger level. Bites by these spiders are extremely painful (I was bitten on the stomach by one under a house in Farmington) and know it can be serious. However, bites are also extremely rare. There are probably more black widows in

most urban areas of New Mexico than there are people, yet bites are almost unheard of.

Orb-weavers (family Araneidae) are large spiders that make distinct orb-like webs. The pumpkin spider, which is very common in New Mexico, is in this family. That is a pumpkin spider crawling up my face in the photo. Obviously these spiders are harmless.

Funnel-weavers (family Agele-nidae) make funnel-like webs in yards, in garages, in crawlspaces and other areas. The spider hangs out at the end of the funnel waiting for prey. Most of these spiders are harmless although they can bite.

Wolf spiders (family Lycosidae) are hunting spiders. There are numerous species here, ranging in size from very small to very large. We have an enormous wolf spider living in our garage and another in our barn. They do a good job of keeping the crickets and flies down. Large wolf spiders can produce a painful bite if mishandled.

Ground spiders (family Gna-phosidae) are very common and are frequently found indoors. They are also hunting spiders and are com-pletely harmless. One species, the parson spider, can give a painful,

but not a dangerous bite.

Sac spiders (sev-eral families) can be considered dangerous as they possess venom that will leave severe scars. One species, the yellow sac spider, is rare in the state but does have a particularly nasty bite.

Jumping spiders (family Salti-cidae) are hunting spiders that are frequently found stalking flies on porches or the sides of buildings.

There are many other less com-mon spiders in New Mexico and the vast majority of them are not at all dangerous. Spiders should be considered beneficial organ-isms because they feed on insects and other arthropods that can be considered pests.

When you hire a pest control company, don’t look for one that controls spiders. Look for one that will control your other real pests and not harm the spiders. Unfortu-nately generic pesticide spraying is indiscriminate and will kill ben-eficial organisms along with a few pests.

Q: What colors are strong for spring?

FM: Coral will be huge for spring, followed by shades of pink.

White is everywhere and is com-pletely acceptable to wear early. Other colors include bright red, navy, and black and white. Muted neutrals such as mushroom and taupe are great when accented with spring brights.

Q: Can you give me some gen-

eral design trends for spring?FM: Upscale looks are casual,

comfortable and pulled together. Our new high tech fabrics make dressing more comfortable in linen and silk blends with lycra or wool and silk with lycra. Even cotton poplins offer a bit of lycra stretch. Corset-inspired lacing details abound in the back, sides and sleeves of tops and jackets. Soft and flowing charmeuse tops offer comfort as well as an upscale feeling.

Just remember that it takes the same amount of time to put on a nice pair of pants as it does a pair of jeans or sweats.

Don't let Albuquerque define your wear - let your personal style define Albuquerque.

Partnering with every patient to find a treat-ment plan that works for them, we provide rehabilitation services for stroke, neurological conditions, hip and multiple fractures, spinal cord injury, multiple trauma, brain

injury, and amputation among other disorders.

We Measure Your Progress & Outcomes. To determine how much help you need to perform basic skills when you first arrive at the hospital, we assign you a Functional Independence Measure score (FIM score) that evaluates 18 physical and mental functions. One or two days before you leave, your nurses and therapists will rescore your FIM to evaluate your im-provement and how well you have met your goals.

We’re Committed to Technology Investment. All healthcare today is technology-driven. And rehabilita-

tion depends on advanced technol-ogy for maximizing patient gains. Says Sylvia Kelly, CEO of Health-South and Chairperson-Elect of the New Mexico Hospital Association, “We are pleased to provide the best equipment and therapists for treat-ing patients in the Albuquerque and outlying New Mexico communi-ties.”

We’re Specialists Working To-gether for Rehabilitation Success. One key to success in rehabilitation therapy is the HealthSouth interdis-ciplinary team approach. We work in concert to develop a treatment plan for physical, cognitive and emotional needs with rehabilita-

tion physicians (board-certified physiatrists), rehabilitation nurses, occupational therapists, physical thereapists, psychologists, respira-tory therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietary and nutritional counselors, and case managers.

We’re Always Improving Our Credentials. HealthSouth is cur-rently pursing disease-specific certification by the Joint Commis-sion in Stroke Rehabilitation. This accreditation is awarded based on the ability to apply evidence-based, clinical practices to manage and optimize patient care.
