June 6: Public Update on the Lincoln National Forest Planning Process
May 18, 2017 by Leroy Cockrell, LBFRC
Sabrina Flores, Chief Planner for the Lincoln National Forest, will be in Ruidoso the evening of June 6, 2017 to update the Public on the Planning Process of the 2015 Lincoln National Forest Plan. This is the promised Update to be delivered to the public in the Spring of 2017 and marks approximately the half-way point for that process. There has been a considerable amount of attention given to this plan not only by the public at large but by many forestry and environmental groups in the area as well as the state and United States.
This is YOUR chance to come and review the work that has been done so far by the USFS! Bring your list of questions, comments and concerns for this work as it is one of the primary opportunities for you to have your say directly to those involved in this important process that will effect how the Lincoln National Forest is run/operated for the next 15+ years or more. Anyone that enjoys and uses the forested lands for grazing, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, off-road activities; or, derives their living from the national forests should have an interest in this planning process. Invite your friends, neighbors and business acquaintances to attend this very important meeting.

Kelly Lawler , USA TODAYPublished 5:17 p.m. ET March 30, 2017 | Updated 2:37 p.m. ET April 4, 2017
Summer movie season is almost upon us, which means you have some homework.
2017 has already had a handful of book-to-movie adaptations and there are a host more coming, featuring stars like Emma Watson, Idris Elba and Jacob Tremblay.

1. The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
The Holocaust drama already has hit the big screen, but there's plenty of time to catch up before it leaves theaters.

The adaptation stars Jessica Chastain and Daniel Brühl.
2. The Lost City of Z by David Grann

This period piece (in theaters Aug. 25) follows an artist who falls in love with the young married woman he is commissioned to paint during the tulip maniaof 16th-century Amsterdam. Alicia Vikander, Christoph Waltz and Cara Delevingne are a part of the star-studded cast.
9. It by Stephen King
The master is on a roll with adaptations this year. It (in theaters Sept. 8) follows seven adults who return to their hometown to confront an evil from their childhoods. And, yes, it has that clown, who will be played by Bill Skarsgård.
10. The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin
Two strangers live through a plane crash and must survive in the wilderness together. The movie (in theaters Oct. 20) casts Idris Elba and Kate Winslet as these very beautiful crash survivors.

Is it April Fool's MONTH?
Ha-ha on me, I got fooled. I told you Saturday, April 22, was the last day to buy a bag of books for $1. WELL, there are FIVE (5) Saturdays in April - so one more Saturday left to get a bag of books for $1. Did it make you run out to the library and buy a bag of books? If so, it was a dollar well spent - for both you AND the library.
SATURDAY, April29, the absolute last day to get a bag of books for $1.
