This month’s balance pose is a perfect next step from last month’s pose (Holy Fig Tree). Hopefully this past month you practiced and have started to develop the tools – strength, balance, skill and flexibility to work with balancing poses. This month’s pose – Warrior 3 or Virabhadrasana 3 requires a bit more strength while balancing. It also requires focus and endurance.
My preferred version of this pose is what I call Warrior 3 for hikers using my hiking sticks for a little extra support. Read More
Devolder: The Concept Of Space
By MARK DEVOLDER

If you hold up your hand with fingers spread and ask an American child in school, “How many?” – the reply will be “five”.
If you ask the same question of a Japanese child in school, the reply will be “ten”. The Japanese count the whole hand as one, the five fingers as five and the four “spaces” between the fingers. Japanese gardens follow the same approach – the space between items in the garden is just as important as the plants, rocks or other items in the garden.
During rush-hour traffic times, the traffic on Trinity is heavy. When traffic is heavy, I simply relax Read More
McQuiston: Tips To Keep In Mind For School Bus Safety

Summer has come and gone once again.
Parents are getting excited, but kids are dreading their final days before school starts again.
As we gear up for the school year, it’s important to educate ourselves on school bus safety.
Here are some tips to keep in mind for this school year:
- Slow down. Give yourself plenty of time to get to and from your destination. Being in a hurry can be a distraction.
- Be prepared to stop. The law states a driver must stop for a school bus regardless of what side of the road they are on. Always remember to keep a safe distance

OP/ED: State-Owned Bank In New Mexico
By JAY JENKINS
President, New Mexico Bankers Association
President and CEO, Carlsbad National Bank
In recent legislative sessions, a recurring topic has been the establishment of a state-owned bank in New Mexico.
Advocates for a state-owned bank have been unrealistic and have overlooked the challenges in establishing such an entity. The most salient point in opposition to would be the significant financial commitment from the state to have the state bank become well-capitalized.
