Letter from the Editors2

by Liz BakerStaff writer

Old Mesilla will be bringing to-gether friends and families as they pray and remember the lives and souls of those who have died for the Día de los Muertos celebra-tion.

Rooted in both indigenous Mexican and Catholic beliefs and celebrated on Nov. 2, many believe Día de Los Muertos is the best time for departed souls to visit the living. Día de los Muertos has been called “a day when heaven and earth meet” and “a celebra-tion of lives well lived.”

In the last few decades celebra-tions of Day of the Dead have increased in popularity throughout the United States.

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that synthesizes indigenous cultural beliefs of hon-oring the dead with the Catholic Church’s All Souls Day. Predomi-nately observed in Latin America and the Southwestern United States, similar holidays honoring the dead are practiced throughout the world.

“In Las Cruces, Mesilla and throughout the region, it has become a beloved tradition,” said Michael Lujan of the Cala-vera Coalition of Mesilla. “It’s a time when Borderland cultures blend, showcasing and sometimes creatively combining Spanish, Mexican, American Indian and Anglo customs and beliefs.

According to the Calavera Co-alition, preparation for this annual event takes place year round, as family and friends gather goods to build alters, shrines and “ofren-

das” or offerings for their loved ones. These ofrendas include photos, memorabilia and favorite foods of the dead and are com-monly displayed in homes, cem-eteries and places of celebration.

A key symbol of the holiday is the skull, which is represented in many ornate forms, from masks to delicious sweets. In Mesilla, bread called pan de muerto is offered to the dead and given as gifts to the living. In addition, friends and families clean and decorate the graves with beautiful and colorful ornaments that remind them of their loved ones.

“Día De Los Muertos is not a morbid holiday but a festive re-membrance of Los Angelitos (chil-dren) and all souls (Los Difun-tos),” Lujan said. “This celebration originated with the indigenous people of the American continent, the Aztec, Mayan, Toltec and the Inca. Now, many of the festivities have been transformed from their original pre-Hispanic origins. It is still celebrated throughout North America among Native American tribes.

Days of the Dead is usually celebrated on Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 (the official date for Day of the Dead) in conjunction with All Souls Days or Todos Santos, the Catholic Feast of All Saints. Various Borderland communi-ties, including Las Cruces, have their own celebration schedules in October and November.

The celebrations at the Mesilla Plaza will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. Nov. 1 – Nov. 3., noon to 7 p.m. Saturday with a procession at 6 p.m and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Mesilla celebrates Día de los Muertos

by Rebecca Mendez and Amaya WorthemStaff Writers

Halloween began in 1745 and morp hed into a Celtic tradition that lasted from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1.

The night before the New Year, the Celts believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the dead was blurred giving the dead an opportune chance to make their way back to the world of the living, according to history.com.

It was seen as a magical interval when the day-to-day laws of time and space were temporarily suspended, and the veil between the worlds was lifted the site reports.

The North American Halloween tradition of children and adults dressing up in costumes to go trick-or-treating is a custom that originated in Ireland. In the Irish tradition, chil-dren would go singing to each house and were given soul cakes.

According to environmentalgraf-fiti.com, in Sicily, Italy Halloween is similar to an American Christmas Eve. Children go to bed on the eve of Halloween and in the morning there

is fruit-shaped marzipan and other treats waiting for them. They believe that the dead arise from their tombs and bring them to the children for All Saints Day.

In Sweden “Alla Helgons Dag” is celebrated between Oct. 31 and Nov. 6. There are choirs and the lighting of candles at the graves of loved ones. The Czech Republic’s version is cel-ebrated Nov. 2. Chairs are placed by

the fire, one for each family member and one for his or her spirit.

Japan’s version of Halloween is the Obon festival, which is celebrated in around mid-August or July. The Japanese tradition is to have special foods and red lanterns hung. Some are lanterns are floated on water or the lanterns are placed in the house and at the door to let their dead relatives know where their living families are.

When the unexplained noises and moving objects start to make you question your sanity, it might be time to

call in a team of professional paranormal investigators.

In both Las Cruces and El Paso communi-ties there are a series of different companies and individuals devoted to finding spirits, entities or other disturbances.

One of these individuals, Alma Ernest, found herself gifted at communicating with the deceased at a very young age. Earnest has since learned to control the skill but was once troubled by its effects.

“When I was really little it was hard, I

would get sick or have migraines,” Earnest said. “But it’s just like a muscle in your body to strengthen it you have to work on it.”

Earnest specializes in a multiple forms of clairvoyance including tarot, palm and cof-fee ground readings, home cleansings, Reiki and astrological charts.

She has experience in educating commu-nity members on how to rid themselves of entities or spirits from the their homes – from the benign to the hostile.

This Halloween, Earnest warns those who play with Ouija boards or similar devices to be cautious.

“Ouija boards are like a door, you have to be specific who you are inviting in and tell

them to leave when you are done,” Earnest said. “Openings and closing are important in these manners.”

Teams like the Southwest Paranormal In-vestigators, based in Las Cruces, do not rid establishments of paranormal activity but instead track it. They have a record of in-vestigating historically haunted places such as The Amador Hotel, The Double Eagle, the Old Tortilla Factory and Adobe Deli Restaurant.

The group reports findings via video foot-age, pictures and written content online at southwestparanormalinvestigations.com.

According to the website, the “Southwest Paranormal Investigations does not charge

any fee of any kind to come investigate any hauntings or paranormal activity. We try to investigate most if not all request or invita-tions if possible.”

If you are looking to partake in the hunt for ghosts, then the Paso Del Norte Paranor-mal Society of El Paso may have what you are looking for.

For those interested in hands-on training in paranormal investigation, a special course “Boo! An Introduction to Ghost Hunting” will be taught by Alina Morales at the Dona Ana Community college during the spring semester. More information can be found at dacc.nmsu.edu.

Although some believe sprits don’t exist, there are others who believe the dead walk among

us. Rhodes-Garrett-Hamiel dorm

hall is said to be haunted. Students have reported a woman

once hung herself in the bell tower because she discovered her hus-band had been killed in World War II. Other stories say a woman was walking down a steep set of stairs while doing laundry when she fell to her death.

There is a historic room in RGH that models the original floor plan of the dorm, which many students are “freaked out by.”

One former Aggie, Tyler Caudill testified to creepiness of living in RHG.

“One day I was alone in the room, sitting at my desk doing homework when out of nowhere my roommate’s camera, which was sitting on the desk to mine, turned itself on and began zoom-ing in and out periodically over an hour and a half,” Caudill said.

A former dean of engineering at New Mexico State University also supposedly haunts Goddard Hall. Ralph Willis Goddard was electro-cuted by faulty wiring in the base-

ment. It is said that noises, such as footsteps and doors opening and closing, can be heard in the building. It is also said that the bell toward of Goddard Hall is now closed off due to a “bat” infesta-tion.

Other urban legends are set in Mesilla at the Double Eagle res-taurant.

According to their official web-site, the legend has been pieced together through old newspapers, diaries and old tales. The first own-ers of the house, that would even-tually become the Double Eagle restaurant, were the Maes family.

Señora Maes had a teenage son Armando. He fell in love with one of their teenage servants Inez.

Armando knew his mom would not approve of their relationship and so he, their servants and the residents of Mesilla kept it a secret from Maes.

Maes soon caught on and con-fronted Armando. He confessed his love for Inez and his mom flew into a rage and fired Inez.

One day, Maes returned home from a trip and caught Armando and Inez together in his room. She plunged sewing shears into Inez’s chest and when Armando ran to help Inez, Senora Maes stabbed

him in the back. After Inez died in Armando’s

arms, he collapsed and never re-gained consciousness. Armando died three days later and legend is Senora Maes never spoke again.

It is believed that the ghosts in-habit the Carlotta Salon, which was Armando’s room. According to the Double Eagle’s official web-site, the ghosts make their presence known in many playful ways.

“If you’re gonna have ghosts, these are the ones to have,” said general manager of Double Eagle Jerry Harrell. “They pull pranks like moving the chandelier. We like our ghosts.”

Workers say tables have been left in one spot and have been found in a different spot in the morning. Wine glasses have been broken without sounding the motion de-tector’s alarm.

More famously, two over-stuffed chairs in the corners of the Car-lotta Salon, which are rarely used, have be re-upholstered but are still somehow worn in the shape of two human bodies.

As you wander Las Cruces on Halloween, remember the alleged spirits around and know that you may not be alone.

Halloween fanatics and scare seekers will unite this Thursday at the Southwest Fright Fest.

Now in its fifth year, the SWFF is an event that offers “four terrify-ing nights, three unique haunted houses, two scare zones, one way out and zero places to hide.”

Philip Hernandez, managing di-rector, is also the theater professor at Centennial High School. With support of the Doña Ana Theatre Association, he brought together students from six local high

schools to put on a frightening event the whole family can enjoy.

“We do events like this to build camaraderie among our students,” he said.

Hernandez also said the event builds the student’s improvisa-tional skills and technical abilities. Plus, because the event is so large, all of the students are able to participate.

“I feel like an adult with big re-sponsibilities working on SWFF,” said Arianna Swinson, a Mayfield High School student and SWFF set designer. “It is exciting as well as a great learning experience.”

Five years ago, the SWFF started off at a small residential

Haunted house megaplex terrifies for fifth year

venue and Hernandez created the SWFF because he wanted to give the opportunity for kids to be able to do something on Halloween. Over the years the event grew, and due to capacity and noise require-ments, the city suggested Hernandez move the event to the Southern New Mexico State Fairgrounds.

The event has seen 100 percent growth rate per year, with 2,500 people attending in 2012. With these numbers, Hernandez, who has previously worked on major sets like Disney, said he wants to continue the event.

“I hope to keep doing it,” he said. “All of this po-tential is (in Las Cruces), so I’m trying to create this event and bring something like this down here.”

But this is no small cost. As of right now, SWFF is ringing up at $32,500; money that Hernandez has personally used. Any money raised from the event will go toward the production of “Beauty and the Beast,” a similar event, next semester. Even against financial struggles, Hernandez said he will do anything he can to preserve this event.

“It’s going to happen because it’s my life and this is what I do,” he said. “As many fits as we have and as many hard times as we get through, whatever costumes aren’t in the right place, it doesn’t matter, were going to get through it because it’s my life.”

“The Asylum,” “The Big Top,” “Outbreak,” “The Land of En-chantment” and “Tales from the Script” are the different haunted houses and scare zones at SWFF. Each venue has a back-story and various scare tactics. Hernandez said, based on an audience poll, “The Asylum” and “Outbreak” are tied for best area.

SWFF will be in operation for its last night on Halloween from 6 p.m. to midnight. General admission tickets are $5 and RIP passes (admission, meal and front of line pass) are $20. Visit www.SWFrightFest.com for more information.

Frank C. Ramos earned his doctorate from UCLA in 2000 and his dissertation focused on young volcanoes in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Cali-fornia. Ramos is an isotope geochem-ist.

Frank C. Ramos was selected as the fi rst-ever endowed chair in the College of Arts and Sciences in the New Mexico State University Department of Geological Sciences.

This endowed chair was established through Michael L. Johnson and his wife, Judy, who gave a $1 million gift to the department of geological sciences in July 2006. The Johnsons created the endowed position to promote geosciences research and exemplify outstanding undergraduate teaching and research opportunities in the department of geologi-cal sciences.

Ramos was the “stand out” of three interviews in 2007 and was chosen to be the advocate for the department, said Nancy McMillan, academic depart-ment head of geology at the College of Arts and Sciences.

On Oct. 11 Ramos was also highlighted for his achievements at an NMSU Research Rally. Ramos has recently received a grant exceeding $500,000 from the National Science Foundation to support a new multi-collector inductively coupled mass spectrom-eter laboratory for the university.

HOROSCOPESKeeping the peace is more diffi cult than you thought, especially with the war planet in your sign and the thinking energies on a break.

You’re happier with yourself. Those haunting dreams have begun to fade, and your bloom has returned, with all the confi dence that goes with it.

Big changes are coming and if you resist clashes could result. You want to take control, but unless you do it with care, you could end up in a war of your own making.

After so much eff ort for so long, the burdens no longer feel like burdens. Put some of them down. For the fi rst time in ages, you get to have a good laugh.

Your feelings about your lover are changing. The trouble is, you’ve convinced yourself the fantasies are real. The planets are pushing you to see the truth.

That exuberance and energy you’re so envied for is taking a temporary dive. The idea is to slow down so you can take a careful look at where you’re going.

There’s nothing practical happening, so don’t even try. The good news is that you’ll be unusually attuned to people’s needs, almost able to read minds.

Hoping someone else will sort out the fi nancial drama you are in? You’d better take charge of this one, or you’ll end up with a pile of ashes.

For once, you could fret less about being right and a little more about being realistic. These power struggles could leave you short of funds, unless you rein in that ego.

Caution in love is vital. New and old relationships could demand the kind of commitment you’re afraid to make. The good ones may weather the storm.

Boundaries are needed and an understanding of personal limitations. Sure, you can be whatever you want to be, but it helps to know what a scalpel is for before you try cutting something.

Think you’re losing your grip? Not so. It’s just that the energies have slowed down, giving you a chance to catch up. First priority is to rediscover your social life

While strolling through Old Mesilla, one New Mexico State Univer-

sity student’s homework assign-ment quickly turned into a ghostly encounter.

One Saturday morning two weeks ago around 10:30 a.m., Adrianna McElmell, journalism major, was in Old Mesilla taking pictures for her class when she came across a tractor that seemed photo-worthy.

“The photo a s s i g n m e n t was to fi nd an object that you could take pictures of that have good contrast,” she said. “And being that fi lm is expen-sive, I decided to go shooting for Christmas presents as well.”

McElmell’s mother enjoys trac-tors, so when the student saw a tractor in a fi eld, she decided to snap a few shots. Her and her partner were the only ones there. She noticed nothing unusual at the time but later found something

very surprising. McElmell later went to the dark

room to develop the fi lm but be-cause it takes an hour to dry she went to class and returned to the dark room after. Post creating a contact sheet, another journalism student saw something unusual.

In the background of the photo, a man was standing behind the tractor in a suit, bow tie and top hat with his head cocked, looking at the camera.

McElmell said she believes the man got into the p i c t u r e when she took it in M e s i l l a , not when she devel-oped it in

the dark room. She also believes she would not have seen the man if she had used digital photography.

“It wouldn’t have shown up (in digital),” she said. “The spirits don’t like technology. I think it was pure luck that I got this.”

McElmell said she is excited to go back to Mesilla and see if she can experience another encounter.

The cinematic re-make of “Carrie,” Stephen King’s fi rst novel, delivers more yawns than frights

and is nowhere near as good as the original.

The reboot misses the mark at introducing a new generation to one of the most grotesque stories of the past 40 years.

Chloë Moretz and Julianne Moore, both of whom have been lauded as incredibly actresses, seem to feel odd in their roles. The rest of the cast is made up unknown actors and actresses who make up the clichéd popular high school crowd and sadly appear to have been cast based solely on their looks and not on their acting abilities.

The fi lm tries really hard to let the audience know the sides the characters take in regard to the prank they play on Carrie, as if the fi lmmakers feared the audience wouldn’t understand what was happening. In comparison, the original is ambiguous and more entertaining.

Moretz’s casting feels wrong; she’s far too cute and too normal looking to yield the odd, uncom-

fortable look of Sissy Spacek who played the former Carrie. The prom scene feels unnecessary; it doesn’t feel like Carrie was justifi ed in doing what she did.

The fi lm relies far too much on special effects. The original uses special effects to build up intensity leading up to the prom, but the remake uses Carrie’s telekinetic abilities to show how far special ef-fects have come since the ’70s that only mucks up the fi lm even more.

The remake makes Carrie ap-pear more like a superhero instead of the traumatized outcast with telekinetic powers.

The main thing missing is how traumatized Carrie was after the locker room incident in the begin-ning of the fi lm and how that cul-minates into the fi nal prom scene where she breaks down and uses her powers in the most violent way imaginable.

Moretz never seems trauma-tized or too controlled by her fran-tically religious and aloof mother, played by Moore. This remake lacks the threat of the original, but one thing the fi lm has going for it is that it’s not nearly as perverted as Brian de Palma’s original.

This remake can be added to

the ever-growing pile of proof that classics shouldn’t be remade.
