Walt Rubel Commentary: Two predictions for the presidential election

9/30/2020

 
I’ve been writing this column in my head ever since election night in 2016. I decided that night to stay focused on local issues, and to not allow myself to get outraged every time the president says or does something outrageous. You can count on one hand the number of columns I’ve written since then about Donald Trump. But I also decided that when the time was right, just before the start of early voting, I would craft a column that was so persuasive it would convince undecided voters of the need to make a change. Early voting starts Tuesday, Oct. 6, but I’m not sure there are any undecided voters left.

Coronavirus Update - Guest John Kutinac

9/28/2020

 
Host MaryAnn Digman interviews ​John Kutinac, LPCC Experienced counselor and therapist in Las Cruces.  John explains how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting his practice and many of his patients.  John sees people both via Zoom, Facetime, on the phone as well as in person. Those in person patients wear masks and all are socially distanced.  

John reviewes how increased stress is affecting his patients especially parents and educators who are also parents.  The multiple competing priorities can be problematic.  John also mentions that some people with anxiety or social disorders are comforted by not needing to interact with others, and that patients who have compulsively washed their hands are feeling affirmed.  John's overall recommendations are to pay attention to our mental health, as well as our attentiveness to avoid COVID-19, and that exercise, eating well, getting plenty of sleep and using self soothing methods are even more important.

All About Books:  Rus Bradburd

9/25/2020

 
Picture
​NMSU English professor and former assistant basketball coach Rus Bradburd chatted with Lynn Moorer about his memoir, Paddy on the Hardwood:  A Journey in Irish Hoops, which recounts his quest for an easy job in the Republic of Ireland coaching basketball while learning traditional Irish fiddle tunes and finishing a short story series.  Coaching the Tralee Tigers, headquartered in a small town in southwestern Ireland, turned out to be an unexpected coaching challenge, not least because the Tigers didn’t have their own gym to train or play in, basketball had to compete with many more popular sports in Ireland, and his Irish players had other jobs while playing only for the love of the game and practicing only five hours a week.  Instead of writing short stories, he found himself embracing his unique coaching challenge and creating an entertaining and, at times, riveting journal about his vivid experiences.

Walt Rubel Commentary - Exploring the fine print of political ads

9/23/2020

 
You probably haven’t had the time or inclination to look into the fine print on all of those negative political ads we’re being bombarded with, so I’ve done it for you.  Political ads often include sources, usually a newspaper story or official document, to add a sense of authenticity to their claims. I never paid much attention until a few years ago when I noticed that one of the stories I had written was cited as the source for a claim that I knew was untrue.

Almost all of the negative ads involve money. They play into the perception that all politicians are in it to line their own pockets. And they add to the cynicism and distrust people have in not just politics, but the entire governing process. But they must be effective because we see them every election.
