"They're duplicates of street(names) somewhere in the coun­ty," county manager Tom Stewartreplied. "It may be Ruidoso."

March 2 municipal election.Bob SterCbi will be there for re­election. Others are A!)gel C.Shaw, Donald A Williams andMichele P. Rebstock. We haveno doubt t;I,at they are goodpeople who want to serve.. But when our voters have so

little choice, it eeeins there isnot much of a reason to go to'the polls on election day.

At at a time when voter apa­thy in Ruidoso continues: itsdownward spiral, it's too badthat so feW presumed commu­nity ¥leaders" express anyinterest in pubJie service. .

It makes one yearn fur thegood old days, when l~elec­

tiona meant oompetition.

gain onytbing in tbe neighboringIowa caucuses.

From the spin rooms of theNew Hampshire primary ~week. we get the inJpri!seion thatthe current mantra is "pick thecandidate most likely to beatPresident Bush." NewHampsbireites and Hawkeyeeseem to tbink that's Jobn Kerry.The others seem to think it'sthem, not him.

They do seem universal indespising President Bush, whomwe suspect isn't exactly despisedall over the country. (But we dorecall that some letters to the edi­tor in' these pages over the pastyear~ven'tbeen very easy on theman who brought Iraq into ourliving rooms. Some people here-'about do despise him, like thosepesk;y New Englanders.)

It seems in sODie way thatNew Mexico's Democrats arebarking back to an earlier era.when "smoke-filled back rooms"were where the political decisions)V8!'El made - back wben WillRogers could say, with consider­able truth and humor, that. "I tuna member ofno organized politicalparty. I am a Democrat."

Then maybe our DemoCratsbave the right, relaxed sttitude:Their caucus runs only &om noonto 7 p.m., unlike the endless Juneprimary, when Republicsns andsverybodJr else get to vote.

Where is the interest' ina municipal election?Ruidoso voters will have little choice on March 2

MOUNTAINASID}:S....... OJU!JlN

O nce upon a time, in thenot-too-distant millen­nium P~Bt. when a

Ruidoso village election camealong you could count onmany. sometimes dozens, ofcandidates for ths right to fillthose open council seatS..

Not anymore.With three council seats

open (two incumbents, FrankCummins and Ron ;\ndersonchose not to seek re-election), agrand total of four peoplesigned up by the Jan. 6 6Iingdeadline.

A fifth later signed, as awrite-in candidate. Thank you,Greg G. Kotila, fur giving a bitofan option for the voters in the

PAGE4A,

Standby -the Demo<;ratsare schmoozing Tuesday

Duck. sverybodJr - the presi­dential political activists are ontheD- way. Maybe Governor Billhad that in mind when he cozenedthe state's Democratic party into

changing thegam.e from aJune' primaryelection to amuch earlierIowa-stylecaucus.

N extTuesday'sDemocratic,party caucuaes(cauci? cau­cae?), as best_we Can deter-'

mine, are the first ever in NewMexico, inost noted fur its attitudeof"we always do it like it's alwaysbeen done." Not this year.

So, when the party liritbfulgather to echmooze among them­selves at, among other placesaround the state, the RuidosoConvention Center, wel1 be see­ing something new - or old per­baps, barking back to the NewEngland Town Meetings, wheresverybodJr bad s say in decidiogevery issue that came along.

We really don't expect any ofthe Demo Presideotial Seven toshow up at our convention center.r .incoln County is among the twoor three most Republican, mostconservative counties in the state.

, They will be beating the bushes inpI..... like Albuquerque, Santa Feand Las Croces. Every one ofthem would like to have our 37electoral votes, or at least thelion's I'!>are of them. After sIl,New Mexico did (barely) go fur AlGore !bur years ago.

It will be intenjostlng to see bowmany afour'county's 3,829 regis­tered Democrats gather fur thecaucus. They'll be, presumably,comparing the candidates amongthemselves bef~ casting paperbsllots to help select delegatesand !burai_tea to the nation­al party convention - to bechaired. ;yqu may recall, \>yGovernor Bill.

On the .......... bsllot will beJoeLieberman, John - Edwards,Richard Gephardt, Jobn Kerry,Wesley Clark, Howard Dean,Dennis Kucinich, andsomebody named Fsm Penna.

Economy and the Markets

Productivity will be a msjorswing factor in the outlook.'Tec:luwlogical innovatibn large­ly drives productivoity in thelong~tenn, but there is also acyclical oompanenL

Productivity tends to Blowwhen a recession commences asoutput is slaahed lilster thanworkers are laid~and rise in arecovery as output acceleratesfaster than' workers are rehired,Historically. prOductivoity hasgone though several high andlow growth phases that can lastdecades due to technologicalinnovations.

The U.S. appears to be in oneof those high~growth phasesnow. Why is productivity 80

important? Another year ofstrong productivity growthwould mean rising corporateprofits imd sUlek prices, and thecontinuation oflow inflation andinterest rates. The only negativewould be the continuation ofsluggish job creation.

Still. all good things muatcome to an end. We 'expect pro­dw:tivoity growth to slow by halfthis year. The cyclical boost toproductivoity should 18de. leav­ing only the portion attributableto technical innovation. Non­farm productivity rose nearlyfour times faster than its aver­age since 1990 in the third quar­ter and 6.7 times _r than its.average in the '70s and '80~.

Productivity in the durable~

goods sectOr rose even faster.Clearly such'. productivoity .growth is not sustainable.

Ifprodw:tivoity were to fiill toomuch. you Could see inflation .and interest rates on the rise,earnings growth and stock

. prices tumble, and the Fed sud­dA»>IY off the fence.

And no wonder. Even spell check doesn'tknow how to spell "amercement." "embrac­ery" or "dactyloscopy," The first group ofwords seemed to have been taken from, agraduate-level criminology;: class.

The spelling bee was helq. in the RuidosoHigh School Performing Arts Center. Afterthe contest, all the students went to lunch atPizza Hut.

Alaitia will represent Lincoln County in .Albuquerque in the state spelling bee in thespring, sponsored by the AlbuquerqueTribune, and ifshe wins there, she"ll go orr to thenational competition in Washington, D.C.

In all. 19 students won in their own schools andparticipated in the county-wide spellingbee yester­day, four from Capitan, three from Canizozo and12 from Ruidoso, said Susan Roberts, the'enuncia..,tor ofthe contest.

, announced a proposed restruC­tured fee schedule Tuesday.

State park users' will seeincreases here and there in thefees charged by the Parks

_ Division. but the biggest news is~ the potential return ofthe!UUlu~· al camping pass.

The fee increases would be.the first· in six years, accordingto a Parks Division newsrelease.

The annual day-use pass willincrease from $20 to $30 pervehicle. and day use fees will goup $1 to $5 per day ~r the

· proposal."The Parks Division points

· out that a similar annual day- use pass in Texas, Colorado and

Arizona costS $50 or more. Also,the department is working tomake the day use pass transfer­able.

The day use fee of $5 will becharged at all 30 state parks,including the Rio GrandeNature Center State Park inAlbuquerque, which CWTBntlycharges a per-person fee. LivingDesert Zoo & Gardens StatePark in Carlsbad will raise itsper-person fees to $5 for adultsand $3 for children ages 7-12.which is a $1 increase.

The annual camping pass,which went away several years

The 19-pieceorchestra, led bytrombonist larryO'Brien, continuesthe tradition of Glenn Miller before hedisappeared over the English Channel ona flight from London to Paris in 1944..Miller had formed the Glenn MillerArmy Air Force Band to entertain ser­vicemen, after boasting more hit recordsin one year than anybody in the record­ing industry ever. "Chattanooga Choo­Choo" was the first Gold Record everawarded a performing artist, and the

Glenn Miller Orchestra library is so largethat the orchestra can perform five con­certs without ever repeating a song,O'Brien said.

Think "Stardust," "MoonlightSerenade," '!Don't Sit Under the AppleTree" and "Rhapsody in Blue."

"The orchestra has been in continu­ous operation since 1956, started at thebehest of Mrs. Miller. Glenn's widow,

under the direction of Ray McKjnley whowas a drummer with Glenn Miller in theArmy Air Force Band and also playedwith Glenn in civilian life before theywent into the service," O'Brien said.

Four lucky people may enjoy theconcert free - two tickets are available
