so a bunch of different people,” Hammond said. The cost to participate is $40, of which $25 will be returned to the participating children. “It is to purchase supplies,” Hammond said. “The children make things like tie-dye T-shirts, coasters and dog collars, which they decorate.” On the last day of the camp, the children sell their products at the local farmer’s market. “They get that whole rounded experience,” Hammond said. “Not only knowing what it means to be an entrepreneur, but also doing it. It is real fun. Everything they make at the farmer’s market the kids get to keep. It is a fun incentive for them,” she said. There are also scholarships available.

Camp Innoventure Will be An Adventure

Fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade graduates who are entering sixth to eighth grade get a glimpse into the business world. By Christina Stock Vision Editor rom July 11 to 16, 9 a.m. to noon, children will be able to experience what it means to start their own business hands-on through Camp Innoventure. Location will be the community room at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 505 N. Pennsylvania Ave., with exception on July 16, when the children go to the farmer’s market on the Chaves County courthouse lawn. The event is organized by the Arrowhead Center, which is located at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Arrowhead Center is an economic development center. “Camp Innoventure is a summer camp for middle school students, that is sixth, seventh and eighth graders, and it is to teach them business basics with things such as: What is a business plan? What is a business motto? How do you design a business? All these kind of things,” organizer Lydia Hammond said. “It started in Las Cruces in 2010 and is a half-day program, they (the children) learn business basics but also simultaneously creating their own product. “This is our first year expanding outside of Las Cruces, which is really exciting but also scary,” Hammond said. “We are going to be in Deming, Carlsbad, Farmington, Socorro, Tucumcari, Clovis, Albuquerque, Alamogordo and then Roswell.” Arrowhead Center works with local community leaders. In Roswell, Donna Addkison will be leading the camp. “In other communities we have teachers, college students — either juniors or seniors — who want to become educators,

Stuntman Workshop takes place in Artesia and Roswell. By Christina Stock Vision Editor

ith the movie industry getting active in Roswell and the surrounding area, many new opportunities arise for jobs. Jobs such as being a stunt performer. Stunt performers who make those neck-breaking action scenes look real and keep the audience at the edge of their movie seats. Many movies today use computer generated images that trick the eye into believing that you are in a different world. It is also used to fake dangerous scenes, but not always. Sometimes the real thing still has to be captured on camera, but it would be much too dangerous for the movie star. This is where a stunt performer comes in. A stunt performer, often referred to as a stuntman, stuntwoman or daredevil, is someone who performs dangerous stunts, often as a career. Some of the best stunt performers make almost as much money as the actual star — and are just as popular in Hollywood. Dar Robinson, the stuntman for Steve McQueen, is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid stuntman in history

with a price tag of $100,000 per stunt. The Ocotillo Performing Arts Center is hosting a stunt-workshop in Artesia on July 7, from 6-8 p.m. for youth stage/film stunts for children between 12 and 17 years. Cost is $20. The workshop for adults will be in Artesia on July 11, 6-9 p.m. for adult stage/film stunts which is 18 years and older. Cost is $35. Roswell’s workshop is for stage combat on July 9, noon-3 p.m. and July 10, 1-4 p.m. at 706 N. Richardson Ave. at Ascendance Arts, Dance and Yoga studio. Cost for one day is $35 and for both $60. Brian Connelly is the instructor of the Artesia and Roswell classes. Connelly is the director and co-founder of Asylum Stunts which is based in Chicago. The company was originally developed with the needs of non-equity projects in mind, so that smaller shops and productions could have access to professional-quality stunt performers and training. Asylum has since expanded to music videos, motion capture and almost any venture where stunt performers or effects can be used. In addition,

4 / V i s i o n M a g a z i n e | Thursday, July 7, 2016

the company runs a gym where both aspiring and experienced stunt performers train, and often use it to train actors who perform their own stunts and to rehearse scenes and audition performers. Conelly grew up in the Midwest and spent more than a decade as a competitive gymnast. In the course of his martial arts studies, Conelly met up with John Hicks Pearce of the Chicago Stunt Team, who gave him his start on his career in stunt work. Pearce was a stunt man in Old Tucson, Arizona — Old Tucson is one of the most active filming locations for Western-themed movies, television, cable shows and commercials in the U.S. since 1939. Since then Conelly has been busy. He has performed in dozens of feature films, such as “The Day of the Dead,” and “Frankenstein: Day of the Beast.” He worked in even more commercials and is involved with several equity stage productions. Conelly also was the stunt coordinator in live shows and theater plays, such as “Sweeney Todd,” “Sunset Boulevard” and “Washington Penn/Aretha Franklin Show.” Conelly’s specialty skills are falls, stunt fighting (street, cowboy and martial), and armed stunt fighting (medieval and Asian weapons). Fight choreography (armed and unarmed, multiple opponents and large scale battles), which includes cable and wire work, car hits and of course martial arts. For more information or to sign up for the classes, call the Ocotillo Performing Arts Center at 575-7464212.

A Day In The Life Of An Actor By J. H. Wood Actor ike a jackhammer pounding on concrete, the pocket phone I call my alarm clock beats against my eardrum. The noise shakes my brain and body in an attempt to wake me from my slumber. It’s 5 a.m. and my eyes feel as though they closed only moments ago. I lay there listening to the jackhammer that is trying its best to bust through the crusted concrete holding my eyelids shut. In my first blind attempt, I slap the snooze button. Jackhammer silenced. I smile but quickly realize that I am late. The jackhammer did its job. I’m awake. It’s 5:52 a.m. when I arrive on set. I roll down the window as I circle base camp. Eyes peeled for the cheap poster board

sign reading “Crew Parking.” I notice a vagrant in a purple beanie approaching my driver’s side window. I quickly reach for a dollar bill that was left over from last night’s tacos. As he gets closer I notice the $110 Keen Newport sandals on his feet. I laugh, realizing he’s not a vagrant; he’s Joe, an International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employee Local 480. IATSE Local 480 are New Mexico film technicians and the bones of the film operation. This vagrant just happens to be the one I’m looking for. Joe is the locations manager on this film and you can tell that the Sandman hasn’t visited him in a few days. Two black eyes and a scraggly beard are telltale signs that Joe’s bed and pillow are more than likely covered in dust. Still,

he happily points me to crew parking and I give him the leftover taco dollar. He smiles, not knowing that he’s the butt of my inside joke. Once parked, I head towards base camp searching for the assistant director trailer or anyone walking around with a walkie talkie and dressed like they bought all their clothes from Urban Outfitters. Base camp is set up similar to the Wild West. Trailers and honey wagons are usually set up as close to a circle as possible. Why? I have no freaking clue. As a matter of fact, maybe it’s just me and my love for westerns that make me want to believe they are set up that way. Anyways, I spot an Urban Outfitter. AKA film production assistant. PA’s are normally starry-eyed, film first-timers that pret-

ty much do everything no one wants to do on set for little and sometimes even no money. Usually always dressed with all the latest fashion trends they try their best to stand out so that the director might spot them and possibly put them in the flick. I giggle again. 6:15 a.m. I’ve checked in with the 2nd AD Tom and now he’s taking me to my trailer. We walk past several beautiful, bright white trailers passing curious bystanders, hoping to catch a glimpse of a movie star. I wave, but sadly walk past them without receiving even a second glance, much less a wave. We continue on. Walking through the maze of trailers we pass one filled with several different sets of clothes. Each set is bound by a label and twisty tie with a movie character’s name written on them. “That’s wardrobe,” the Urban Outfitter explains, as I think to myself, “Really? I would never have guessed.” Apparently he thinks I’m as green as he is. We come to the corner of base camp where a dingy, run-down trailer that used to be white but has now succumbed to the surrounding elements. He points to one of the small jail cell type doors where a piece of athletic tape has been stuck to the front. The makeshift label reads Manuelo. I step into the tiny cubicle as Urban Outfitter runs off talking into his headset. I place my orange backpack on the sink that sits to the right of the couch. I think it’s a couch anyways. It could be a bed or maybe it’s both, a bed and a couch. Who

knows? What I do know is that I’m tired. I take a deep breath, pull the sweater out of my pack, roll it up into a ball and tuck it under my head as I lay down on the couch bed. My eyes begin to close. BANG! BANG! There’s a knock on my door. A beautiful older woman comes walking in to give me my wardrobe. The way she struts in is quite similar to that of an overpaid 19-yearold fashion model: Graceful, confident and most importantly, happy. It’s only 6:40 am. 7 a.m. Twenty minutes pass and I’m still waiting to get sent to hair and makeup. Urban Outfitter walks up asking if I want him to bring me some breakfast. I decline but only because I’m bored and want to go get it myself. Urban Outfitter decides to follow me, not because he wants to but because he has to. I’m the last thing he needs to go missing. He walks a few paces behind, trying hard not to disturb me. I feel like a diva or a criminal. Not sure which quite yet. The catering truck is in sight, but before I can get there I hear Urban Outfitter whisper into

his mic, “I have eyes on Manuelo”. 7:15 a.m. I’m sitting in the makeup chair as Svetlana searches her Cover Girl color palette to find the perfect match for my skin tone. Urban Outfitter knocks twice before entering the trailer. He ended up having to bring me breakfast after all. A huge chorizo and egg burrito with red chile. One thing that the film industry doesn’t hold back on is food. A fed crew is a happy crew. A happy crew works fast and works hard. As I take a bite of the giant burrito Svetlana asks, “Every morning you get a burrito and every morning you never finish it. Why?” My reply is simple. “It’s too freaking big.” We laugh and she slaps me with powder. Make-up done. 7:30 a.m. I’m heading back to my trailer after hair and makeup when I run into a fellow thespian that I’ve worked with on other shows. Rio. His name sounds as cool as he is.

perform at Grace Community Church, 935 W. Mescalero Road, July 13.

of the world. I am from a place where the weather is not always nice,” said Redman, who is from England. “I have been in music for over 20 years,” said Redman. “I love writing songs, worshipping, performing at different churches, going to different nations around the world. I actually have a big heart for America. I love coming here for years. It is really great seeing the songs connecting with people. It so happens that Grace Community Church in Roswell worked out and I am really happy to come. I haven’t been in New Mexico too much — that will be a treat for me.” In the light of the Orlando attack and the recent murder

of a mother and her four children in Roswell, Redman offers no answers, but has a message of hope. “Especially at times as this, when there is every week some kind of casualty in the news,the whole nation has been shaken by events. There are no quick answers for things like that, it is a very confusing and disturbing news. One thing I do believe, we can have hope, through trouble and turbulence – I think sometimes that is what I want my songs to achieve. I want people to hold on to hope, even in the hardest circumstances. “Some of the most inspired people I have ever met are the people who, even though they have been through tragedy, have found a way to just hold on to hope through that,” Redman said. “I am aware that at the events there are all sorts of people, and there are always people at the venue that are going through some crazy life circumstances, some very intense situations. Music can’t solve problems, but it can help them to hold on to hope. “If you are looking for something solid to stand on, if you are looking for some hope, come along and experience this, through songs we sing, music we play and scriptures,” Redman said. Redman is based out of the south coast of England, near Brighton. He has been a full-time worship leader since the age of 20 and this journey has taken him to countries such as South Africa, Japan, India, Australia, Germany and the Czech Republic. Along the way he has sung in venues such as

the Angels baseball stadium, both old and new Wembley stadiums, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Royal Albert Hall. Redman led worship at the early Soul Survivor festivals, returning to lead worship again in 2011 and 2014. Redman’s earlier songs include “The Heart of Worship,” “You Never Let Go” and “Blessed Be Your Name.” More recent compositions include the Grammy-nominated “Our God,” and the double-Grammy winning “10,000 Reasons” – for which he also received a Billboard award in the U.S. His latest record was recorded live at Abbey Road Studios in London. Redman is also the author of several books.

In The Movies

Filling Big Ghostly Shoes — Will ‘Ghostbusters’ Thrill Or Bust?

The remake of “Ghostbusters” comes to the big screen featuring female ghost hunters. By Christina Stock Vision Editor

hirty years after the original film took the world by storm, “Ghostbusters” is back and fully rebooted for a new generation. Director Paul Feig combines all the paranormal fighting elements that made the original franchise so beloved with a cast of new characters, played by some of the most popular female comedian actors working today. “Ghostbusters” is for sure one of the last of the franchises which lay dormant for decades

and has serious nostalgia value. It was the first “nerds are cool” movie that delighted kids in the ‘80s and ‘90s and set thestage for TV shows such as “The Big Bang Theory.” Feig has a stellar background that makes him ideal for directing the movie. He is an actor and producer, known for “Spy” (2015), “Bridesmaids” (2011) and “The Heat” (2013). After “Bridesmaids,” his work largely consisted of female-driven comedies, usually featur-

ing Melissa McCarthy, whom he cast also in the remake of “Ghostbusters” together with her colleagues from “Bridesmaids.” Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth are starring alongside McCarthy. This remake may have bigger chances than others to attract old fans while finding a new fan base in today’s generation. One of the executive producers is an original Ghostbuster, Dan Aykroyd. Aykroyd

Director Paul Feig and DP Robert Yeoman on the set of Columbia Pictures’ “Ghostbusters.” was not only an actor in the original movie, but he also wrote the original movie script with Harold Ramis. Aykroyd had written on social media on May 29, “As originator of the original: Saw test screening of new movie. Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first two films plus Bill Murray is in it! As one of millions of man-fans and Ray Stantz, I’m paying to see that and bringing all my friends!” Aykroyd saw the final version as a preview and posted on social media, “Really happy about new team. Third act breathtaking with outstanding manifestation of final threat. Wow!” Aykroyd has also a cameo appearance in the movie. However, the hardcore cinematic fans will be critical about

the reboot of the iconic movie. Sides have been taken pro or against the new movie since day one when Sony Picture announced the remake. On July 15 the film will be released domestically. The fans will have to

decide if it can stand up to the original. “Ghostbusters” has been rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for supernatural action and some crude humor.

Hollywood in Roswell

By Christina Stock Vision Editor

elebrated Hollywood film producer Bryce Zabel (Dark Skies, Mortal Kombat, M.A.N.T.I.S., Lois & Clark) presented to the small but knowledgable audience during the Cosmicon on Saturday the new plans for a movie about the life of Ufologist Don Schmitt and Stanton Friedman. “Stanton just tells me to hurry up to make that movie, so he can see it while he is still alive,” Zabel said. Zabel and Schmitt explained the differ-

ences between the real life of the ufologists, research for books and what the audience can expect to see on the big screen in the movies. “Emotional correctness is important and to keep narration and the narritive drive,” Zabel said. “But on the big screen people will be portrayed larger than life.” Zabel and Schmitt explained also the difference between a soft disclosure by scientists versus a disclosure by the government, that Zabel hopes will happen within the next 10 years.

Zabel talked about his doubts that the U.S. would be the first country to disclose the presence of aliens from outer space, instead he theorized that the announcement would come first from the Chinese or Brazilian government. Zabel is going to have a movie out next year about the last conflict in World War II, which is called “Last Battle” and is based on a true story. He is planning to return to Roswell next year.

Landscapes by Robert H. Goddard From the Vault Roswell Museum and Art Center

By Sara Woodbury RMAC Curator of Collections and Exhibitions

hen you hear the name Robert H. Goddard, you probably imagine rockets blasting off into the wide open skies of Roswell. Yet he was also interested in the arts, and actually created his own paintings, several of which can be found in the Museum today. Today we’ll take a look at some of these works and see how they shed light on his connection with the Roswell landscape. Before delving into the paintings themselves, let’s quickly review Goddard’s biography. Originally from Massachusetts, Goddard was an early experimenter in rocket science, making several critical developments in the field of liquid-fuel rocket propulsion.

While Goddard was not the first scientist to theorize about rockets, he was a pioneer in their actual construction and operation. Initially testing his constructions in Massachusetts, Goddard relocated to Roswell with the financial support of Harry Guggenheim and Charles Lindbergh in order to continue his experiments, first in 1932, then again from 1934 to 1942. The Roswell environment, with its vast, isolated spaces, clear skies, and small population, proved an ideal landscape for rocketry, and over the next several years, Goddard and his small team would dedicate themselves to their experiments. Goddard would eventually relocate to Annapolis in 1942 to work on missiles. He died of cancer in 1945. While most of Goddard’s time in Roswell was dedicated to rockets, his wife and

collaborator, Esther Goddard, encouraged him to pursue leisure activities in order to recharge his intellect. One of these pastimes was painting, which he took up enthusiastically. Indeed, among his artistic acquaintances was none other than Peter Hurd, who shared a lifelong interest in astronomy. Hurd recollected his admiration of Goddard’s passion for painting at a Congressional recognition for the scientist in 1970, stating that “completely and without any affectation or pretense to a viable talent as an artist he delighted in the wonderful experience of painting—an experience which to a professional can be wonderful only when things go well; dreadful beyond description when they go bad.” For Goddard the value of painting wasn’t in the finished work itself, but in the act of creating a Photos courtesy Roswell Museum and Art Center Above: Robert H.

Roswell honors professional athlete Chantale Riddle. By Christina Stock Vision Editor

hantale Riddle’s success story has been unique. She grew up in Roswell where she and her sister, Deja, were raised by their single mom, Laura Riddle and grandparents Larry and

Shirley Williams. Riddle credits the Yucca Recreation Center for introducing her to volleyball and teaching her the importance of exercise and wellness at an early age. Riddle is a 2009 Roswell High School graduate and a Three-sport all-state performer in

volleyball, basketball, and track and field. She went on to play for the University of New Mexico on a full scholarship and graduated in 2014 after breaking several school records in volleyball. She was named to All Mountain West First Team, All Pacific South

Region honorable mention, and AVCA Honorable Mention All America. She became the first Lobo volleyball player to be named three times to all region team and three times in the All American Category. Riddle led the team and the Mountain West Conference in kills with 468 and in points with 544.0. Currently, Riddle plays professionally in Switzerland. She was recently honored as the Female New Mexico Athlete of the Year by the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame. Being back in Roswell, Riddle is giving children ages 6 to 14 years a chance to be coached by her, among others, at Riddle’s first “Coming Home” volleyball camp. Riddle will be honored at New Mexico Military Institute’s Godfrey Center on July 8. There will be a proclamation, meet and greet and photo opportunity from 11 a.m. until noon. The public is invited to attend. It is an exciting thing for me and my family, said Riddle in a phone interview. “I was defi-

nately surprised when I heard about it. It is a huge honor. “I will be moving back to Switzerland in August.” Riddle is not the only American on the Swiss team. There is another player from California. Though Riddle loves Switzerland there are some things she misses. “I miss the Mexican food and my family in Switzerland. I have a niece and nephew,” she said. Riddle wants to continue playing overseas for a while. “Until

my body says to stop,” Riddle said. “I am looking forward going back to school and coaching again,” she said. During her stay in Roswell Riddle visited with a couple of Mountainview students, Riddle enjoyed giving advice and helping them. “This is definately one of my goals, to be a role model to the kids in Roswell,” she said.

Continued from Page 14 suggesting movement across the sky. His sense of color is also evident, with hues of green, yellow, and blue providing both unity and contrast. These works might be considered naïve to the eye of a professional artist or gallerist, but one cannot help but ascertain the scientist’s passion for his hobby. Goddard will most likely never be regarded as a great visual artist, at least when it comes to painting, though one could definitely argue for the sculptural merit of his thrust chambers and rockets. Rather, he expressed his creativity through his science, paving the way for future generations of astronomers and rocketeers. What these paintings underscore is his ongoing dedication to the Roswell landscape, the place that made his prolonged experiments possible. Capitan landscape by Robert H. Goddard.

Legalities Of Secrecy: Immortality For Some Good Lawyer?

Looking Up

e all know that government loves to keep secrets. Sometimes it’s absolutely necessary, as with genuine national security matters. With other matters such as information about UFOs, some of us question whether it’s really needed. It seems likely that most people think the government can get away with keeping such things classified Top Secret because there are laws governing the withholding of information from the public. Amazingly, there aren’t any such laws. That is, none created by the framers of the Con-

stitution or by the U.S. Congress. Not only are there no provisions for secrecy to be found in statutory law; the only mention of this in the Constitution is one rather trivial exception, in Article I, Section 5, stating that in keeping a journal of its formal proceedings, either house of Congress may decline to publish such parts of the journal “as may in their judgment require secrecy.” The law is otherwise essentially silent on the topic of secret keeping. So then where does the government get its authority to withhold information? The answer: from execu-

tive orders issued by various presidents. Bill Clinton’s Order 12958, for example, gives definitions for the security classifications Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret, and outlines the conditions under which information becomes classified at any of these levels. But the unresolved question, it seems to me, is whether executive orders really constitute law. Every president in recent memory has issued numerous executive orders, and while one may object that Constitutionally only Congress has the power to pass legislation, there is no ques-

tion that in day-to-day practice these executive orders function like statutes. Can this notion be challenged? I think it can , and sh o uld be . Some hotshot Constitutional lawyer could make history doing it, ensuring not only that his or her name would be forever emblazoned in the law books, but (more importantly) that a vexing legal question had been laid to rest. Imagine the following scenario. Charges are brought against some defendant in court, to the effect that he has broken “the law” as given in presidential Executive Order

Number Such-andsuch. The jury finds the defendant guilty. The defense attorney, however, appeals the case to a higher court, using the argument that the defendant was convicted only on the basis of provisions in an executive order, but this order was generated by the executive branch of government, not the legislative branch, and thus does not constitute genuine law. The appellate court upholds the defendant’s conviction, rejecting the defense attorney’s argument. The attorney appeals to yet a higher court and so on, the ultimate destination being

the U.S. Supreme Court. Think how dicey things could get if this pioneering attorney eventually won the case and the high court definitively struck down the legitimacy of presidents’ making “laws” on their own without legislative authority. Real national security concerns and secrecy classification procedures would then actually have to be addressed by legislation, as they arguably always should have been. This would certainly change the landscape for UFO investigation.
