ENMU Hosting Scholarship Golf Tournament

The 2005 Leadership group is hosting the Leadership ENMU Scholarship Golf Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Clovis Municipal Golf Course. Funds raised will provide four scholarships: one each for high school graduating seniors from Curry and Roosevelt Counties, and one each for current ENMU students from Curry and Roosevelt Counties.

Tee times will be at 8 a.m. or 1 p.m. on a first-served basis. The format will be a four-person scramble, which means each player gets to take a shot from their team's previous best shot. However, teams must hit from at least two of each player's drives during the 18 holes.

Prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin, longest drive, and accuracy drive. Tickets for mulligans (a chance to take a shot over) will be available. There will also be a surprise contest at the end of the tournament.

Lunches will be provided. Door prizes will also be given away.

The $200 entry fee per team includes a golf cart and free lunch. There will be slots for 36 teams.

To enter, call the Clovis Municipal Golf Course at 505.769.7871.

Special recognition will be given to businesses or individuals that want to be sponsors or provide donations.

Local Doctor Volunteers Services to Eastern Athletes
Story and photo by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Since 2002, Dr. Joel Sievers has played an integral part in Eastern New Mexico University’s athletics programs. Dr. Sievers has served as team doctor for the Greyhounds.

Dr. Sievers was born in Kansas and grew up in nearby Amarillo. As a student, he had a natural curiosity about science and math. His parents had expected him to pursue a career as an engineer, but Dr. Sievers took the suggestion of a friend and pursued a degree in medicine instead.

(Left – Dr. Sievers examines senior Crystal Kirschman. She is a walk-on who transferred to ENMU to enroll in Graduate School for counseling.)

After earning his BS in Natural Science at Concordia College in Seward, Neb., where he was a track and field athlete, Dr. Sievers went on to medical school at Texas Tech in Lubbock. He then fulfilled his residency at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in Amarillo. Although his specialty was family practice, his sub-specialty was in non-surgical sports medicine. He received a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va.

“In the past, the kind of doctor who treated sports injuries was an orthopedist, or bone specialist, and the focus of treatment for sports- and industry-related injuries was surgery,” says Dr. Sievers. “Today, there is a new approach to these injuries, in which a non-surgical approach is taken, and surgery is performed as a last resort. The vast majority of sports and industry-related injuries can be treated non-surgically.”

Mark Ribaudo, Eastern’s head football coach, says, “Joel is fantastic as a person and a doctor. It is a big advantage to have a non-surgical doctor in college athletics, where health care costs are a major concern. Having a doctor that wants to rehabilitate first and cut later is a tremendous asset.”

Aside from his regular practice, Dr. Sievers is at the college one or two times per week checking on student athletes. “Joel has a great way about him,” says Coach Ribaudo. “He is very polished with a very good bedside manner. He is a true gentleman and is very generous with his time.”

Ed Kabrick, Eastern’s athletic trainer, works closely with Dr. Sievers. “When an athlete sustains an injury, it is up to the trainer to evaluate the injury and treat the minor cases. We call Joel in if the injury is serious enough. He then evaluates, performs whatever testing is needed, and then makes his diagnosis from there.”

Mr. Kabrick adds, “Joel is an excellent physician and very accessible. The fact that he has been an athlete and that he is young allows the players to relate to him very well.”

When Dr. Sievers began as team doctor in 2002, Eastern’s athletic department was much smaller. Since that time, athletics has added a men’s and women’s soccer team as well as men’s and women’s track and field, all cared for by Dr. Sievers on a pro bono basis.

“All of the work Dr. Sievers does for the university is on a volunteer basis,” says Coach Ribaudo. “He is very generous with his time, always coming to the home games to check on the players, and coming to other activities such as the banquets and meet-the-players nights. He is truly concerned for the players' success.”

Dr. Sievers says that he would like to see an athletic training curriculum be developed and implemented at Eastern, and be involved in the program through clinical rotation.

Mr. Kabrick says that such a program is in the works. “The chairman of the Health and Physical Education department, Dr. (Mary) Drabbs, and myself have submitted a proposal for a curriculum in Athletic Training, and it has been approved. As soon as budgets allow, there will be a bachelor’s program in place.”

“I really like working with Eastern’s athletes,” says Dr. Sievers. “I was a pole vaulter myself in my college days at Concordia College in Nebraska, and I like staying a part of the college game.”

Cooling Loop Update – This weekend contractors encountered unexpected difficulties in tying in the new communication building to the campus cooling loop. As a result the cooling loop will be shut down all of Monday, Aug. 8. If your office is too warm for you to work in, please inform your supervisor and you will be allowed to go home.

Eastern Surfer Dude Going On National Student Exchange to Virgin Islands
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

Eastern Sophomore Anthony Merino is going on a National Student Exchange this fall to the Virgin Islands. He will be at Saint Croix University studying nursing.

He will spend one year at the university and live in a dormitory. The Earth, Texas, native is looking forward to the opportunity. Anthony had three other options when applying for the exchange.

He says, “When students apply, most of them don’t get to go where they wanted, but it is a great opportunity for me since Saint Croix was one of my options.”

Saint Croix University offers many of the same classes that Eastern offers. The island is only eight miles wide.

Anthony says, "I go to class Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me time to see the island and its culture. I’m also going to surf a lot. ”

Eastern Graduate Crowned Miss New Mexico Sweetheart 2005
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

ENMU graduate Christina Hall has been crowned Miss New Mexico Sweetheart.

Christina has been involved in pageants for five years. She started at the age of 17 when a family friend and former Miss Washington introduced her to the Miss America system of pageants. Advised she could earn scholarship money for college, Christina decided to try.
The first year Christina competed was rough, but she continued to pursue her dream of becoming Miss America. The next year she won the title of Miss West Mesa in Albuquerque. With this title under her belt, she was able to compete for Miss New Mexico.

Since she was 17, Christina has gone on to win three other local titles, including Miss Rio Grande Valley, Miss Albuquerque and she currently holds the title of Miss High Plains. She also won the swimsuit competition at Miss New Mexico 2004, and was second runner-up overall.

She won the talent and evening gown competitions at Miss New Mexico 2005, earning a coveted position as first runner-up to Miss New Mexico, and the title of Miss New Mexico Sweetheart 2005. This title enables Christina to attend the National Sweetheart Pageant in Hoopeston, Ill., in September. The National Sweetheart Pageant is for all the first runners-up from each state and is similar to the Miss America Pageant.

The pageant will be Aug. 29 through Sept. 5. After the pageant Christina will be auditioning for various performing companies. Her ultimate performance goal is to be on Disney Broadway. Christina will be also auditioning for Disney Cruise Lines and Tokyo and Hong Kong Disney to, hopefully, earn a performance position. “Disney is the perfect avenue to pursue at this time to help me get to Broadway because they own nine of the Broadway stages in New York,” she says.

“This will be a great opportunity for me. The greatest lesson that pageants have taught me is this: you must always believe in yourself. You are the captain of your own team and if you’re against yourself, you won’t succeed.”

The Miss America system of pageants allows each contestant to adopt a platform issue that they promote during their year of service and throughout their life. Christina is pursuing her platform on Identity Theft: Educating America in Prevention and Recovery.

Christina choose this platform because she is a victim of Identity Theft. With the help of her title she has been able to change legislation in New Mexico and educate other New Mexicans about this crime. Also with the help of Governor Richardson and other legislators, she has successfully changed legislation in New Mexico. As of July 1, Bill 720 went into effect making the crime of Identity Theft and Internet Fraud a fourth degree felony rather than the misdemeanor status it previously held. Christina says, “I’m currently working on two other laws regarding Identity Theft and would like to start a campaign that will place cross-cut shredders in all college post offices across New Mexico and then across the nation.”

Christina went to high school at La Cueva High in Albuquerque and graduated from Eastern in May with a bachelor,s in music. Her scholastic honors include: Who’s Who Among American College Students, National Dean’s List, ENMU Honor Roll, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Fraternity, Jim Slone Endowed Scholarship, Bud and Jeanne Stephens Memorial Scholarship, Paul Mallot Music Scholarship, John G. Wozencraft Young Singer Award, Bronze Congressional Award, Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Award, “Bridge to Success” Scholarship, Greyhound Competitive Scholarship, Hispano Chamber of Commerce Manuel Lujan Scholarship, Santa Fe Opera Scholarship, Girl Scout Gold Award, Girl Scout Gold Award Scholarship, Target All Around Scholarship, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Fraternity, Spanish National Honor Society, and Outstanding Girl Leader Award-Girl Scouts of America.

Christina was also involved in leadership. She was the team president for a group at Monster Diversity Leadership Program Conference in Dallas, Texas; instigator and driving force behind new laws regarding identity theft in New Mexico; vice president of ENMU's President’s Ambassadors; Fine Arts senator on ENMU's Appropriation’s Committee; secretary of the Student Advisory Council-Fine Arts; “People to People” Student Ambassador to Australia (Sydney, Cairns, Coffs Harbor, Brisbane); treasurer and Board of Directors-Rotaract (College Rotary Club); and vice president of Alpha Lambda Delta.

Even though Christina has been attending college and pageants, she still has taken the time to assist the community. “ I have volunteered more than 8,000 hours of community service to various organizations, including the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, Habitat for Humanity, the Boys and Girls Club, the Baptist and Christian Children’s Homes of Portales and Clovis, John XXIII Catholic Church, Duke City Marathon, the City of Albuquerque, National Hispanic Cultural Center for Performing Arts, and many others,” she notes.

With all of the success Christina has accomplished, she feels that Eastern has always supported her. “Eastern is the jewel of eastern New Mexico. Nestled between dairies and farms is a green and silver oasis, where faculty and students positively interact. I’m so glad I chose ENMU. I’m so happy that I can proudly claim I’m a Greyhound and will be a Greyhound forever,” she says proudly.

ENMU Graduate Student Joins Other ENMU Students in Mexico for Summer
by Helena Rodriguez
Portales News-Tribune
(reprinted by the author's permission)

Editor's Note: The following column was originally written by ENMU graduate student Helena Rodriguez for the Portales News-Tribune after she arrived in Mexico in July for an ENMU course taught by Dr. Mary Ayala. Helena and the other students are now back home.

Hola amigos, from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. I’m coming to you from a half continent away, ironically, to learn something I probably could have learned while growing up as a child there in P-Ville.

Myself and a group of students from Eastern New Mexico University have said hasta la vista to Nuevo Mexico for awhile and are now spending the month of July in Old Mexico to sharpen our Spanish-speaking skills. Here at the southern tip of the country, Merida, we are not only being immersed in the dominant language of Mexico, we are being introduced to a whole new world. It’s an exotic world that includes a whole new money system of pesos, ancient pyramids, beaches and fruits unique to this part of the world, including piteya, which like a chocolate chip-looking kiwi and platanos manzanos, which are small apple bananas.

We are also sleeping on hammocks, which are surprisingly comfortable, and we are learning to withstand the almost unbearable heat here as we go on to our scheduled excursions, which have so far included a trip to the indigenous Mayan villages of Yucatan. Some of us are even learning to speak a little Mayan.

We’ve toured the spectacular caves of Loltun, drove along the famous Ruta Puuc and visited the pyramids in Uxmal. In Uxmal, we enjoyed a light and sound show about the ancient rain gods. Ironically, it started to rain as we were climbing down from the stadium-style seating situated on one of the pyramid platforms.

The highlight for us so far has been going to swim in the salty beach waters of Progreso and in Celestun. But perhaps it’s the small day-to-day things that are opening our eyes to this whole other Mexico, which is not typical of border towns such as Juarez and Nuevo Laredo.

In some ways, Mexico is just like the United States. They have KFC, Dominos and Burger King here and a lot of businesses cater to us English-speaking tourists. However, I can’t say that the pace of life in Merida is any slower, just different. There are Internet cafes around every corner and people drive crazy here, just like in many American cities, but you can’t really call it road rage. They just like to keep things moving.

The funniest thing I find about public transportation here is that although the bus drivers drive around like maniacs and don’t even come to complete stops when you get off the bus, they all have some form of religious altar at the front of the bus — and I mean every single bus I’ve been on so far. Just above the windshields are religious portraits of Our Lady of Guadalupe, rosaries, crucifixes, pictures of Jesus and saints. And if you watch the natives here, they all make the sign of the cross as they get on and off the buses. It’s a ritual here, praying for a safe trip to and from as the buses go screeching around town. Even more interesting here, the natives say there are not many car wrecks.

Merida is a highly cultural city with free nightly fine arts activities around the plaza and a very low crime rate for this city of more than one million people. As far as the speaking Spanish part, which is the main reason for this immersion program, Mary Ayala is encouraging us to take advantage of all of the resources here, striking up conversations with our hosts families and people on the streets and having nightly readings in Spanish as well as weekly essays due on Spanish newspaper articles or small interviews with natives.

We are also having to create a lot of these opportunities ourselves. It’s tempting to stick with people we know and swing back and forth to English. It can be frustrating to grasp the language, but we’re in the learning process here and Ayala says we’ll see most of the progress we’ve made when we get back home in early August.

Message from ITS Regarding Use of Cell Phones in Emergencies – Recently, there have been several articles appearing in local newspapers and radio spots regarding emergency contact information stored on cellular phones. Last year a British paramedic came up with the idea, and because of the recent London bombings, the idea has swept through the country by e-mail. The idea already has the support of New Mexico law enforcement agencies.

In order to help emergency personnel locate next-of-kin and other emergency contacts for incapacitated victims of emergency situations, it is recommended that every mobile phone user place emergency contact information in their cellular phone’s phonebook under the heading “ICE”. Emergency personnel can quickly find names and numbers under that heading to make essential contacts and also to obtain information regarding medications the victim might be using. “ICE” stands for “In Case of Emergency” and emergency medical personnel will look for that entry as a new public awareness campaign is launched this month in this area.

Jan Elliott, executive director of Eastern New Mexico Emergency Medical Services, is encouraging residents of Portales and surrounding areas to “ICE” their cell phones. Many times, other forms of identification are carried by victims but do not provide the necessary information to contact relatives or other interested parties, resulting in delays of notification and needed services.
Consent is required for certain types of medical treatment and/or transportation of injured parties and the ICE program could speed up the process of obtaining that consent and possibly save a life.

According to officials at the State Attorney General’s office, there are no specific legal issues dealing with “ICE-ing” a mobile phone. By entering the ICE information into the phone, you are giving consent to emergency personnel to access it and obtain phone numbers of emergency contacts.

If you have questions regarding “ICE-ing” your phone, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287. – submitted by Linda Hamrick

Number Changed for Employees to Make Long Distance Calls While Traveling – For the past three years, Eastern New Mexico University employees traveling outside of the local calling area could dial an 800 number and use their long distance authorization code and a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) to make long distance calls. These calls would be billed to their department. On June 26 a new toll-free number will be activated for this purpose, eliminating the need to enter the PIN. After this date, the previous toll-free number will no longer be used. This toll-free service should only be used outside our local calling area.
To use the new toll-free access:

Dial 1.866.788.7016 and you will hear dial tone.

Dial * 6 * + authorization code + # (sign) + 6 + area code and phone number.
(This is the same dialing sequence that is used when you are on campus)

Charges for these calls will appear on your department bill.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287 or Rick Bresler at extension 2265.

Read August Issue of ENMU-Roswell's Newsletter, The Grapevine – [read]

A two-day class in the basics of barbequing and smoking meats will be offered by Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell later this month. The class will be held on Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday, Aug. 28 in the Occupational Technology Center on campus.

The course will focus on the skills and tools needed to properly smoke and barbeque food. Information on the proper selection and preparation of meats, rubs, sauces and equipment will be combined in two days of hands-on workshops. Students will learn to prepare the foods and set up both grills and smokers. Discussion topics will give the back yard griller the knowledge needed to enter BBQ competitions. Three meat projects (chicken, ribs and brisket) will allow students to practice the skills they learn and following the course, students can then take home and eat their projects.

The class will begin each day at 8 a.m. The Saturday class will end at 5 p.m. The Sunday class will end at 3 p.m. Smokers will be manned at night by staff to insure proper cooking temperatures are maintained. Upon completion of the course, students will receive a “Pitmaster” certificate of completion. Topics will include
food safety and practices; proper equipment selection and usage; proper wood and fuel selection for grilling/smoking; meat selection and preparation; and smoking meats for competition.

“Students will take home all three of their food projects,” said Michael O’Berry, Safety Training Specialist and course instructor. “If you have ever ruined a brisket or just want to learn how to make succulent pulled pork, this is the class for you. This is an adult class and couples are strongly encouraged to attend,” he said.

Students are encouraged to sign up early as class size is limited. The cost of the class is $65 per person. To sign up, contact Merry Montoya at 624.7219.

On Aug. 2, Felecia Harvey, instructor of Life Sciences at ENMU-Roswell, presented Bob Cates, president of the ENMU-Roswell Foundation, with a check for $213. Students from Harvey's Biology 209 and 210 classes collected soda cans for two semesters, then sold the cans to a local recycling plant. The proceeds were donated to the ENMU-Roswell Foundation. Harvey said that the $213 represented seven pickup truck loads of aluminum cans.

The ENMU-Roswell Foundation was formed in 1999, organized exclusively to provide financial and material support for the promotion of education and training at the ENMU-Roswell campus. Such support includes, but is not limited to, fostering educational opportunities and the granting of scholarships and fellowships for academic, career and technical training.

Roswell area golfers are encouraged to sign up early for the ENMU-Roswell Foundation Scholarship Golf Tournament. The tournament will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Spring River Golf Course.

The cost for the four-person team scramble tournament is $50 per player. Teams should have a minimum total handicap of 40. The fee includes lunch, gift bags for each player, and awards for the top three teams, the longest drive, and closest to the pin. Additional prize drawings will also be held with items donated from a number of local businesses. Players will also have an opportunity to win a new car. Eastern New Mexico Medical Center is a corporate sponsor of the event, as is Bank of America, and Desert Sun Roswell.

Proceeds from the golf tournament will benefit College Access Program Scholarships (CAPS). CAPS will give every student in Chaves County schools (public or private) the opportunity to attend ENMU-Roswell after high school graduation. Players are urged to sign up by Oct. 8.

Hole sponsorships, team sponsorships, and corporate sponsorships are also being sought. A sign up sheet and more information is available on the campus web site at www.roswell.enmu.edu or contact Fred Van Orden at 624.7006.
