It’s here, Summer! My best hope for this season change is some nice weather without the ridiculous winds

or horrible smoke from the Arizona fires. Here in the River City it has been hard to take advantage of the many outdoor events and activities available to us.

We are optimistic here at Prime Time and for this month decided to pull together a super comprehensive guide of things to do all over the four county area; Bernalillo, Valencia, Torrance and Santa Fe. With all that we gathered we then compiled our best suggestions and ideas for you to consider. The spectrum is broad.

I think I might be taking in an Isotopes game, and I know someone in the office who will be attending one of the great music concerts. There is a lot to do at the city’s zoo and museums. So whether you want to be indoors or out, check out what we put together and have a great summer. I am sure you will find something that piques your interest.

This is also the month we dedicate to Residential Options in our community. Prime Time writer James Sandefer talked to residents from two facilities and developed a great Tips Sheet on what to consider should you, a friend or

family member be at that point in time when you want to consider a move. The individuals interviewed had interesting perspectives and stories about how they made the decision to move out of their homes. Interestingly all said their best advice was to plan ahead and be prepared.

And finally our featured profile this month is of New Mexico’s Cabinet Secretary for Aging and Long-Term Services Retta Ward. Prime Time Editor Maria Elena sat down with her at her office at the Toney Anaya Bldg. in Santa Fe and traced her roots back to Hagerman, a small town that lies in the flatlands between Roswell and Artesia, to landing her dream job with Gov. Susana Martinez’s new administration. Ward is a University of New Mexico graduate and more than happy to be back home serving the population that we here at Prime Time care most about and know is growing exponentially.

Enjoy the issue.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a super-resolution microscopy

technique that is answering long-held questions about exactly how and why a cell’s defenses fail against some invaders, such as plague, common in New Mexico, while successfully fending off others like E.coli. The ap-proach is revealing never-before-seen detail of the cell membrane, which could open doors to new diagnostic, prevention and treatment techniques.

“We’re trying to do molecular biol-ogy with a microscope, but in order to do that, we must be able to look at things on a molecular scale,” says Jesse Aaron, postdoctoral appointee at Sandia Labs.

The cell membrane is a bustling hub of activity on a miniscule scale. While providing structure and hous-ing the cell’s interior, the membrane regulates movement of materials in and out of the cell, controls adhesion to other objects and coordinates the cell’s communications and subse-quent actions through signaling. Receptor proteins on the surface of immune cells, known as toll-like receptors (TLRs), are tasked with

recognizing intruders, or antigens. The TLR4 member of this receptor family responds to certain types of bacteria by detecting lipopolysaccha-rides (LPS) present on their surface. TLR4 proteins then alert the cell and activate an immune response.

Using imaging techniques they developed, Sandia researchers Aaron, Jeri Timlin and Bryan Carson discov-ered that TLR4 proteins cluster in the membrane when confronted with LPS derived from E.coli, which increases cell signaling and response. Interest-ingly, LPS derived from the bacteria that cause plague, Yersinia pestis, do not cause the same effects. This could explain why some pathogens are able to thwart the human immune system.

The plague studies marked the first time such small events have been imaged and compared, the Sandia researchers said. Previously, even the most sophisticated optical mi-croscopes could not image the cell surface with enough spatial resolution to see the earliest binding events, due to the diffraction barrier, which limits what can be resolved using visible light.

“What living well means to me is...”

“With more traditional visualization methods, you can’t see the level of detail you need. It’s important to look at not only what’s present, but also when and where it’s present in the cell,” Timlin said.

The technique used by Timlin and Aaron builds on superresolution capa-bilities developed in recent years, but goes another step by adding dual-color capabilities to the relatively new sto-chastic optical reconstruction micros-copy, or STORM. The combination enables the Sandia team to get a more complete picture by simultaneously imaging LPS and TLR4 receptors on

the membrane.“Current light microscopy capabilities

are akin to looking out the window of an airplane and seeing the irrigation cir-cles. You know that plants are there, but you can’t tell what kinds of plants they are or what shape the leaves are,” said Carson, a Sandia immunologist who was an integral part of the project. “But with this technology, it’s like zooming in and seeing the leaves and the struc-ture of the plants. “A lot of this work is in its early stages, but we’re encouraged by what we’re seeing and excited about its future potential,” Aaron said.

Seeing Solutions in PreventionBy Maria Elena Alvarez

Cabinet Secretary Retta Ward was the right person at the right time

for Governor Susana Martinez’s new administration. Like the new administration, Ward is new to New Mexico governmental operations and institutional history.

This reality has positive potentials for bringing in new ideas and a different perspective. During a visit with Secretary Ward on a windy Friday afternoon in her office it was easy to see why she is so passionate about having found her dream job.

With her background this is a dream job. Ward is in her late 50s, has an extensive professional history in preventative health education and program administration, and she was a health educator in New Mexico from 1988-1995.

Her most recent experience was working as a science educator in Arizona and previously with the Arizona Department of Health. Good news to me is that she is a home girl coming back with professional credentials and experience.

She has the right amount of drive and genuine passion to be a part of a transformation that New Mexico is facing. “In 2030 New Mexico’s over 65 population will be 25 percent of the total number of people here. Right now it is about 15 percent of the population. We will become 4th in the nation as it pertains to our per capita over 65 population that will need services and resources,” said Ward. With this in mind she is excited about laying out a foundation that is not about if it needs to happen but when it needs to happen. And in her opinion it needs to start now.

In her words what follows is our conversation:

Prime Time: How did you and Gov. Martinez find each other?

Cab. Sec. Retta Ward: I was referred to the transition team by longtime friend and New Mexico State Senator Rod Adair, Republican from Roswell, to whom I have provided health policy advice for years. I first had a phone interview and then came out for a visit with Gov. Martinez and then was offered the job.

PT: How is that you found yourself so well aligned with the Governor’s intentions for the department?

RW: I believe my background in prevention and healthy aging and where I thought the state needed to be heading fit with her objectives.

I feel strongly that we as a nation or state need to focus resources on preventing health problems instead of waiting for them to happen. There is plenty of research that establishes this to be the most cost effective way to approach the need for health care in the face of an increasing number of older New Mexicans.

It is daunting to think about preparing the state to provide services for an increasingly older population. When you are faced with decreasing revenue there

are only two answers. One is to decrease the cost of services or two, the need for services. The best way to do this is to decrease the need for services by having a healthier population. We have a lot of information on preventative strategies that are low cost and relatively easy to implement. And there are many conditions such as Type II diabetes that are preventable and controllable through personal habits. Obesity is an issue that can be prevented and managed. I think like many others that the state as a whole needs to approach these issues in a proactive way beginning in early childhood.

PT: What is happening around the country that speaks to what you would like to see happen in New Mexico?

RW: Not many states are proactive right now but the few that come to mind are in the Midwest and New England. A village concept is developing there that creates environments that are not dependent upon government funding and subsidies. I would like to see New Mexico begin to develop programs like this in small communities where services can be traded. “I will mow your lawn for a ride to the doctor”.

We know that for these programs to work there have to be a lot of connections in a small area. It is about people trading resources. It will require a lot of coordination.

We are looking at other states and we know there is something like this being developed in Taos, although the set up in Taos may be more on the exclusive end of the concept.

Our first challenge is to find a model that will work here. I believe the churches need to be involved because they are very effective at organizing people. The opportunity here is to build something that in the long run will be independent of government assistance and resources. It won’t require federal or state funds to be maintained.

PT: So what you are talking about is a move away from a caretaker concept of government help to self-empowering a population?

RW: Not exactly because we will always need both. There will always be a population with immediate needs and they are the most vulnerable. What we need to do is to prepare the state with a healthier population moving forward.

PT: Are you making shift in how Aging and Long Term Care Services does its work now?

RW: My desire is to maintain the mission of the department which is primarily to provide support for older adults, persons with disabilities and their caregivers. Additionally we need to establish a greater emphasis on healthy aging education and prevention. That is what we are facing and we are not alone across state government. So we expect to create partnerships with other city and state agencies, working toward improving the health of all New Mexicans.

PT: What have you seen so far as it pertains to state elder population?

RW: I just finished visiting all the Adult Protective Services offices around the state and talked to the staff about looking at strategies for moving in this new direction. The existing staff has a unique body of knowledge about how to prevent unhealthy and unsafe situations from occurring. What I found is that the rural areas are isolated from resources and information and present a challenge.

PT: Is it safe to say you and administration want to place emphasis on empowering the senior population to save money?

RW: Yes, that is the most cost effective way to approach health care. The return-on-investment on

primary preventive care is great and secondarily if you intervene early enough the savings and health benefits are long lasting. For example if we can prevent one case of Type II diabetes we can save thousands of dollars and change quality of life issues. We are now seeing an increase in the numbers of children with Type II diabetes. It is increasing across all ages. And for most part it is preventable. Type II diabetes increases the risk for many diseases and disabilities, including heart disease, blindness, and renal failure.

PT: How big is your department?RW: We have over 200

employees and while we experienced the same budget cuts that were felt by everyone in state government we did not have to let any employees go. We instead were able to absorb the cuts by attrition.

PT: Tell me about yourself?RW: I was born in Hagerman

and graduated from the University of New Mexico. I have two children, a 22-year old daughter Lauren, who just graduated from the University of Arizona and a 20-year old son, Alec, who is a junior at the same university. My mother is in the last stages of Alzheimer’s and under hospice care at an Alzheimer’s facility in Houston. My dad died years ago from colon cancer, another preventable condition with early screening.

I am passionate about healthy aging. This is my dream job. Having been exposed to grandparents, parents, and other older people with disease and disability that could have been prevented has impacted my desire to be part of the solution and help.

"I feel strongly that we as a nation

or state need to focus resources on preventing health problems instead

of waiting for them to happen."

Looking for a new snack? Try Chinese Wolfberries or Gou Qi Zi (pronounced Go-Gi) a

fruit loaded with antioxidants and nutrients. Gou Qi Zi are relatively new to the USA, but these “red diamonds” have been grown in North-Central Chinese plantations and the United Kingdom for centuries.

The Chinese use wolfberries in the dried form as a snack, they have a salty/fruity taste creating a new twist on sweet and sour. The dried berries hold their structure well and are fun to chew. They are on the dry side but blend well with fatty nuts and more fibrous dried fruits in a trail mix.

For healing, the Chinese considered Gou Qi Zi a tonic that

builds the body’s immune system or for those recovering from an illness. Gou Qi Zi is believed to support the health of the eyes. The carotenoids that show up in Gou Qi Zi are mainly in the form of zeaxanthin.

Zeaxanthin is a nutrient that has been shown in many studies to benefit the eyes. Alternative eye specialist Susan K. Turner who has been practicing in Albuquerque for many years recommends Gou Qi Zi berries and a separate zeaxanthin product for her macular degeneration and glaucoma eye patients.

Studies have found that to increase your intake of antioxidants, adding Gou Qi Zi to your vitamin C intake can help. Due to it’s remarkable antioxidant content, studies reveal it to be a significant guard against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Studies also reference the benefits to the immune system and anti-cancer properties as well. You can trust this berry snack to offer your body iron, potassium, selenium, zinc, riboflavin, lutein,

in addition to a number of other amino acids, phytochemicals, minerals and vitamins.

Use caution with Gou Qi Zi if you take warfarin. There was an isolated report that introduced the possibility of an interaction between high doses of Gou Qi Zi and warfarin metabolism. Additionally, try to get organic sources of this fruit.

It is a berry and has been found, like most berries, to carry high levels of pesticide. Pesticides don’t help, but worsen most all conditions by disrupting the endocrine system and adding toxic residue to the liver.

China is known to spray this berry. It is large revenue for manufacturers and easily corrupted by pests. By choosing organic, you protect your body, hold growers accountable and feel more joy in consumption knowing you support healthy futures for other crops coming from the same earth.

Abundant Blessings!

We have been taught for years that our brain and its constituent cells, the

neurons, are a static entity inca-pable of late-life adaptation.

Recently articles have appeared in the scientific literature con-cerning the brain’s capacity to change up until the day we die. It is now understood that through-out our whole life our brain can change. However, the brain must be stimulated in order to facilitate these changes! This neuroplastic-ity means that your brain has the capacity to repair damaged areas, to develop new neurons, give new tasks to a specific field of the brain and even change the circuitry of your brain.

How can this be and how is this possible? Wasn’t it Freud that said

“old people are no longer educable”Neuroscientists have found that

the brains of more mature adults continue to adapt, become more creative, respond to learning and actually become more balanced using each of our two hemispheres more equally.

While we are purporting the fertility of the mature brain, like the rest of our body, the brain does slow down: our reaction time is slowed, and our storage and memory capacity declines. The late Dr. Gene Cohen stated that the most important often overlooked difference between older brains and younger brains is that “older brains have learned more than younger brains.” The act of learning requires the ability to remember. Every time that stimulus is repeated that unique pattern is reinforced neurologically. We then form combinations of these patterns referred to as memories. Dr. Cohen quipped “the neurons that fire together wire together.” With each activity or fact learned, neurons fire and stimulate the growth of more cells increasing the neuronal density of the brain. The more learned someone is the denser

the brain. This has been studied in the

brains of different professionals such as musicians, scientists, math-ematicians, artists, accountants, and doctors. Different specific areas of these individuals are denser.

Musicians’ brains are activated in many areas simultaneously while practicing or performing. The act of tapping a foot or counting stimu-lates the motor cortex, as well as cerebellum. Feedback from the instrument being played stimulates the sensory cortex, and the cerebel-lum as emotional reactions flow with the music.

The amygdala, and the nucleus accumbens are also activated by emotions created by music. The visual cortex and the prefrontal cortex are utilized in reading one’s music and the creation of expected sounds. In addition the corpus col-lusum, the left – right brain con-nection is activated during musical activity, bringing both sides of our brain into full activation.

Einstein, arguably one of his-tory’s greatest mathematicians, was autopsied after his death in 1955. His brain was studied by numerous

pathologists across our continent. The brain appeared to weigh less than the average adult brain, with fewer supporting glial cells but was 15 percent wider. Scientists theorize that the alterations in Einstein’s brain were due to high metabolic requirements and indicate that the temporal lobe enlargement may have allowed for greater calculation abilities.

How do we continue to “grow” our minds? Neuronal growth can be stimulated by challenging men-tal activities such as crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and word search games. Learning to play a musical instrument or singing in a group can activate brain development. Physi-cal exercise can also be helpful in allowing the release of our brain growth factors.

Prolonged stress can inhibit neuronal production. This has been seen in Post Traumatic Stress Syn-drome victims specifically in the hippocampus. Treatment has been shown to reverse this inhibition. Maintaining social activities also reduces stress and further promotes one’s emotional health.

A growing number of schools across the country are using “mindfulness trainings” in

an effort to combat increasing lev-els of anxiety, social conflict, and attention disorder among children. Their efforts have been supported by a recent wave of scientific results demonstrating how this form of stress reduction leads to less social conflict and test anxiety; resulting in calmer, more produc-tive and happier children.

The same applies to adults and elders. The negative effects of excessive stress can not only be stopped but also reversed once the source is removed or adequately reduced. Popular methods include rythmic breathing, meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, aerobic exer-cise, quality sleep, visualization, and biofeedback. What's good for the kids is also be good for us as adults.

The human body is constantly balancing complex systems to keep us healthy. Any change, which threatens this balance is stressful.

Momentary stress like avoiding a car pulling out suddenly in front of us as we slam on the brakes is con-

sidered "positive stress." Caregiv-ing is a good example of "negative stress." It is daily, incessant, and usually emotionally charged if done for a loved one. Cortisol, the most prominent "stress" chemical released in the brain's blood stream, allows us to adapt to the "posi-tive" type and actually enhances our immune system, memory and attention.

However if Cortisol levels are excessively elevated over a long period of time, there can be detri-mental effects especially to the hip-pocampus. Exposure to higher than normal levels of Cortisol results in an increased rate of brain cell death and impairs the hippocampus’s ability to create new neurons. The shrinking of hippocampus size is associated with declines in cogni-tive function. This includes the ability to retain new information and adapt to novel situations.

The lesson here is that when stress arises take a moment to control your breathing, be mindful of the moment your are in and do what it takes to step back and relax for health.

Backyard BBQ Spareribs

Ingredients:4 pounds pork spareribs1 cup catsupSalt and pepper -- to taste1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce1-1/2 cups cherry cola soft drink1/4 cup vinegar2 teaspoons paprika2 teaspoons chili powder1 medium onion -- finely

choppedInstructions:Cut ribs into serving-size pieces

and place on grill over gray-white coals. Slowly cook 1 to 1-1/4 hours, turning often. Combine re-maining ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 10-15 minutes. Brush ribs generously with sauce and continue to cook, about 30 minutes, basting and turning often.

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Chicken

Ingredients:2 frying chickens -- (2 lbs each)1 cup Jack Daniel s bourbon

whiskeysalt & pepper to taste-----whiskey sauce-----

1 pound white mushrooms -- sliced

6 green onions -- chopped2 tablespoon butter2 ounces Jack Daniel s bourbon

whiskey2 cups brown sauceInstructions:Have the butcher split two small

fryers or if you prefer, buy cut-up chicken pieces. Place the chicken in a shallow pan and douse with whiskey. Sprinkle salt and pep-per over the pieces; marinate for 2 hours. Soak some wood chips (they specify Jack Daniel's Barrel chips) in water--if you're using regular wood chips, I'd suggest soaking them in whiskey. While the chips are soaking, build a charcoal fire in your grill. Use the wood chips in your grill to create a good smoking fire. Grill the fryers over the pit un-til well cooked. Serve with whiskey sauce. FOR WHISKEY SAUCE: Sauté‚ the mushrooms and green onion in butter until tender. Add whiskey and brown sauce and sim-mer until flavors have blended and the alcohol has evaporated. Keep warm until serving time. BROWN SAUCE - To make Brown Sauce; thicken beef bouillon with corn-starch or roux. Or better yet, make it from scratch.

This year’s 13th annual Great Southwestern Antique Show is going to be the found-

ing sponsor of The Great South-western Chase Award Memorial Nurse Oncology Endowment at UNM Hospital’s Cancer Treatment Center. In August 2009 the annual antique show started this endowment through the UNM Foundation. Since that time over $30,000 has been raised. This will fund the endowment through the 2012 show.

The antique show founders would like to see the endowment reach a level of $75,000 where the annual interest from this permanent fund will financially support each year, the advanced training necessary to certify two new nurse oncologists to serve New Mexico, said Terry Schur-meier, the show’s Director.

Each year over 200 of the na-tion’s most respected dealers of Fine Arts and Antiques gather at Expo New Mexico’s Lujan Center for a three-day event. This year has the broadest mix of dealers to date, said Schurmeier.

New to the show this year are Monterrey Garage of Los Angeles, specializing in quality California classics and Paul Haig of Haig’s of Rochester specializing in Fine Asian Antiques & Jewelry. On Fri-day August 5th doors will open at

2 PM to collectors wanting a first shot at the treasures.

One hundred percent of the $75 per person donation from the Friday night Sneak Preview event will go directly to the UNM

Foundation. Donors to this event will receive full access to all week-end events and the cost is tax deductible. Saturday & Sunday admission is $8 day or $12 for a 2-day

pass (no charge for children under 12).

Since 2003 The Great South-western Antique Show has chan-neled its proceeds to support local charities and raised over $100,000

for art & educational endeavors that directly impact our community. Past beneficiaries in-clude the UNM Founda-tion Nurse Oncology Endowment, the SPX

Silent Partner Endowment (Finan-cial Aid for Student’s from single parent families), VSA Arts of New Mexico, Albuquerque Museum’s Magic Bus Program, Popejoy Hall’s Schooltime Series and The Antique Tribal Art Dealers’ Association Grants &Scholarship programs.

For tickets and more informa-tion call 505-255-4054 or visit the web at www.greatsouthwesternan-tiqueshow.com See how you can be a part of our charitable efforts. Your support is extremely appreci-ated. See you at the show!

Cancer, you are always focused on doing the right thing, and your

confidence and sensitivity have been leading you in what you believed was the proper direc-tion. Anticipate frustration upon realizing that you’ve been moving along the wrong path, your career stalls out and your co-workers progress. Reevalu-ate your position and productive actions you can take during the summer to regain your professional footing. Your financial situation remains relatively stable, but mod-erately less than anticipated. By year’s end you will have recovered most of your occupational promi-nence, but short of your insatiable hunger for success.

Your home life relationship becomes challenging due to mis-spoken words, a lack of patience, and minimal attention. Remember that you aren’t always right. Be pa-tient, listen closely to your partner and devise a mutually harmonious solution to meet each other’s needs. Nurture your relationship to ensure

that it survives and flourishes for the long term. Attend to your health; you are your own worst enemy in this area. Take time to relax, acquire the new skills that interest you, and use this initiative to sustain you through the remain-der of the year. Your creativity is abundant; put it to good use.

Cancer, 2011 is moving too slow-ly for your taste, but offers renewed interests in learning, enhanced creativity and absorbing everything life has to offer. Ultimately, you are transformed and prepared to enter 2012 with upgraded professional skills and suitable confidence in all areas of life.

Ballet Pro Music Summer FestivalFriday, August 12 & Saturday,

August 13, 8 PMSaturday, August 13, 2 PM Na-tional Hispanic Cultural Center,

See the Music… Hear the Dance at Ballet Pro Musica’s fifth summer festival,

returning in mid-August to the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The Chamber Music-Ballet performance combines virtuoso musicians and virtuoso dancers to create an exquisite blend of chamber music and classical dance performed live.

The Festival, presenting partner NHCC along with the National Ballet Company of Mexico, La Catrina Quartet, and pianist Jacquelyn Helin are presenting “Faces of Love,” which will feature two world premiere choreographies with music composed by Igor Stravinsky, Robert Schumann and Maurice Ravel.

Heartbeats, one of the world premiere performances features the music of Maurice Ravel’s, String

Quartet in F Major, choreographed by Eloy Barragan. Interestingly when Ravel completed the Quartet at the tender age of 28 he regarded it as a “failure” when it was first presented. Today this work is one of the most widely-performed chamber music works in Classical repertoire.

Rite of Spring is the first Albuquerque presentation of Igor Stravinsky’s famous work of the same name, choreographed by Alex Ossadnik. Stravinsky originally wrote the score for one piano, four hands. He and his friend, composer Claude Debussy, then played the piece for a select group of financial backers. The next morning, both pianists woke up with severe bruising, compelling Stravinsky to immediately rearrange Rite of Spring for two pianos - the version that Festival audiences will hear at the Festival.

Troubles in Paradise is the second world premiere performance featuring the music of Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet Opus 44 and choreography of Vladimir Angelov. Schumann was one of the first significant composers to pair the piano with a string quartet. By 1842, when he completed the piece, he had

established this five-instrument format as a major force in chamber music.

Festival dancers are principals and soloists from the National Ballet of Mexico, coming directly from El Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. The renowned company’s repertoire repertoire spans traditional classical ballet to contemporary works.

La Catrina was hailed as “… good ambassadors for music” by famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The young musicians of La Catrina Quartet perform a compelling and unique blend of Latin-American and standard repertoire to diverse audiences throughout the U.S. and Mexico. They are currently the Faculty-Quartet-in-Residence at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.

Pianist Jacquelyn Helin wins acclaim for her musicality and vibrant playing of a wide-ranging repertoire. In addition to Ballet Pro Musica, she is regularly heard in chamber music performances with groups such as Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Santa Fe New Music, and Taos Chamber Music Group.

Special EventsIn addition to the performances,

the Festival’s schedule of events includes advanced ballet master classes, a special children’s performance, and two opportunities to see the Festival “up close” while supporting two deserving non-profits:

Question: I spread boric acid powder all over my kitchen and I still have roaches. I

thought boric acid was a good con-trol method for roaches. What am I doing wrong?

Bugman: Boric acid is a stomach poison and it has to be ingested by the insects for it to affect them. Simply crawling through it won't work. Also, boric acid and other borates are toxic to pets and people so you have to be careful where you put it. I recommend Niban Bait which is made from boric acid and which the roaches will eat, and it works.

Some sodium borates such as BoraCare and TimBor can be very effective in preventing wood-de-stroying insects from eating wood in your home. Borates applied to wood will last for many, many years, perhaps indefinitely. This is one reason I recommend getting all of the wood under your home if you have a crawl space, treated with a sodium borate. You will never have to worry about termites or any wood-boring beetle feeding on the wood that has been treated. In New Zealand, in 1954, they required all wood that was used in construction to be treated with a sodium borate and to this day they do not have a termite industry in that country. The borate treated wood will even kill fungi, so it can be toxic to both plant and animal organisms. If you have your wood treated, have it done professionally. I also recommend dusting the crawl space with diatomaceous earth. This will repel almost all insects and spiders out of the crawl space and deter termites from coming out of the ground. If they do find a way out of the ground, all they will have to eat is borate-treated wood, so they won't do any damage to your home.

Q: How do you control spiders around a house? I have a regular pest control service, and they do a good job on the roaches, but the spiders are still active.

B: Spiders can be difficult to control as they can walk right over a pesticide. I would recommend learning to live with them as the vast majority of spiders are abso-lutely harmless and, in fact, eat insects that are true pests. If you have to discourage them, all you have to do is wash down their webs when you see them. If they rebuild, wash it down again. They will get the idea that this isn't a good place

to live and will move to another area where they won't bother you. Spiders do not like to be in the path of tsunamis any more than we do.

Also, keep any spider harborage areas away from your house. Trim any shrubs that are touching the walls and don't stack firewood near the house. If you do have a stack of firewood and you don't want to move it, dust the wood with some food-grade diatomaceous earth to discourage spiders and other pests.

You have a very slim chance of getting bitten by a spider, but if you use pesticides, you have a very good chance of getting sick. Pesticides kill more people than all of our spiders and other pests ever will. Spiders are our friends. Pes-ticides are our enemy. You can go to my Facebook page and you will see a photo of me with a tarantula on my face. It is making no effort to hurt me in any way and I soon put it on the ground so it could go on its merry way.

Online pest management consult-ing is absolutely free. However, we rescue animals and if you want to donate what the info is worth to you, the animals would appreciate it. If so, go to my website at www.askthebugman.com.

For a number of years before 1922, one of Santa Fe’s most colorful and famous residents

was Charles A. Siringo, popularly known as “the cowboy detective.” A small, wiry man, he was a friend with practically everyone in town, from the governor to the dogcatcher.

In 1916 Gov. William C. McDonald persuaded Siringo to accept a commission as a New Mexico Mounted Ranger for the state Cattle Sanitary Board. The only thing unusual about that was Charlie Siringo’s age, a ripe 61.

Undaunted, he saddled up and, with a packhorse, started for his headquarters at Carrizozo in Lincoln County. His duty was to run down outlaws and stock thieves in Southern New Mexico. Bill Owens, described as a fighting son-of-a-gun, became

his partner. As Siringo reported later, “Poor Bill lasted only a short time.”

The pair got into a gunfight with cattle rustlers at Abó Pass east of Belen. Owens was shot through the lungs, but he emptied his pistol and killed two of the outlaws before he went down.

“During my two years as a ranger,” said Siringo, “I made many arrests of cattle and horse thieves and had many close calls with death staring me in the face.”

Obviously, Gov. McDonald had made a wise choice when he tapped this hard-riding, fast-shooting “senior citizen” for the dangerous

ranger job. Charlie Siringo’s

career in the West was as adventurous as it was long. Raised in Matagorda Country, Texas, he took to life in the saddle before he was shaving.

As Charlie put it, “When I was 12 years of age, in the spring of 1867, I became a full-fledged cowboy.” After trips up the Chisholm Trail, he landed a ranch job in the Texas Panhandle where he fought prairie fires, had run-ins with rustlers, and saw the

last herds of roaming buffalo. At age 30, Siringo was tending

store at Caldwell, Kansas and putting in nights writing up his previous experiences on the range.

The Roots of Siringo RoadDr. Marc Simmons is New Mexico’s best known and most distinguished historian.

He has written more than 40 books, several of which won awards including

“Albuquerque: A Narrative History.”Comments to him can be posted at

ptpubco.com under his columns.
