Pets Of The Week: Meet Sugar And Ryder
Sugar lives up to her sweet name: her ear-to-ear smiles, rear-to-ear full body wags, and charming, silly, sunshine-y personality are irresistible. Española Humane welcomed this pocket-sized 4-lb., 1-year-old shepherd-mix when she was evacuated from the Blue 2 Fire in Ruidoso, and with her trainability, endearing sweetness, and absolute love for other dogs, Española Humane felt she was a perfect candidate for its Paws in the Pen prison training program. After 8 weeks of 24/7 training with her two inmate handlers, Sugar knows her stuff, but she’s also a bit of the class clown, offering the cute comic relief everyone can use on a daily basis. She goes home potty, leash and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors. To ensure a successful adoption, Española Humane is providing four free training sessions to adopters (so owners can learn what their dog knows) and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. Sugar also goes home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, and she’s spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply for Sugar at espanolahumane.org and schedule a meet and greet appointment. Courtesy photo.
Los Alamos Sees Itself In ‘Paradise Paradox’
A scene from the screening of ‘Paradise Paradox’ June 24 at SALA Event Center. Photo by Kirsten Laskey/ladailypost.com. Small, rural towns can be deceiving. Quaint town centers and close-knit communities seem appealing and add to that some kind of tourist destination like a ski resort and small towns appear as havens from all the turmoil of big cities. The trouble is, a safe haven that is totally immune from troubles, doesn’t exist; so, what happens when significant issues such as depression and suicide find their way into these small towns? More importantly, what is the best way to address these issues?

Mescalero Apache items removed from parish, then returned
Created by Robert Lentz OFM, an American Franciscan friar and religious icon painter, the Apache Christ originates from the culture of the Mescalero Apache. Christ is depicted as a Mescalero holy man, greeting the sun of the fourth morning of the woman's puberty rites. These are the most sacred of the Apache ceremonies, celebrating the sanctity of the gift of producing new life. A sun symbol is painted on his left palm, and he holds a deer hoof rattle in his right hand. A basket at his feet holds an eagle feather, a grass brush, and bags of tobacco and cattail pollen – items used in the rites. He stands atop 12,000-foot Sierra Blanca, the sacred mountain of the Mescalero. Behind him flies an eagle, the guide who first led the Apache to their "promised land!" The inscription at the bottom of the icon is Apache for "Giver of Life," one of their names for God. The letters in Christ's halo are the Greek version of that name. The Greek letters in the upper corners of the icon are abbreviations for "Jesus Christ."
