Solar IS Sexy!
Solar energy: Program would allow greater use of sun
El Paso Times Editorial Board
Posted: 04/26/2010 12:00:00 AM MDT
Now here's an interesting idea. El Paso, which has been a notable also-ran when it comes to harnessing solar power, is moving to create a Property Assessed Clean Energy program.
This means that property owners -- residential and business -- would be able to borrow money for the installation of solar panels and other energy-smart equipment, and pay back the loans through theirproperty-tax bills.
The program would be voluntary, with those participating able to pay back the loans over a 20-year period with an additional charge tacked onto their property tax. It wouldn't be an interest-free loan, though the precise interest rate is yet to be determined.
Other locales across the country with similar programs charge 2 to 6 percent.
This program is in its infancy, but could start as soon as January, according to Marty Howell, overseer of the city's conservation efforts.
For being as sunny as it is during most of the year, El Paso makes little use of that abundant and "free" natural resource. We should be leading the nation when it comes to research into and use of solar energy. You'd think most every roof in the city would be capped with solar panels, but ...
The PACE program seems a good way to dip the city's toe into the solar sea. It's not going to be for everyone. Many people won't even be able to afford a low-interest loan.
But PACE would be a good way to gauge interest in solar energy and show its possibilities.

The Border Wall 2010
I created this video while driving along the Border Highway. So many people talk about the "wall" but it is something totally different to drive along it.
4.26.10: Today's Show
Today on "The Lisa D Show" we'll start with "news that matters to you" analysis from our Monday guest Chris Babcock. Babcock will focus on the immigration legislation passed in Arizona last week dealing with illegal immigration. Does this new legislation condone racial profiling? We'll talk about that and so much more.
Also, we'll talk with Gemtria St. Clair about the programming and upcoming events at Kids Excel. Below is a video of a recent Kids Excel demonstration in Downtown El Paso at Kidzpalooza 2010. Gemtria is promoting the May fundraiser that helps fund Kids Excel programming in El Paso schools.
Gemtria grew up in El Paso, Texas and graduated from Loretto Academy. She began studying ballet at the age of three. She danced with the University Civic Ballet Company under the direction of Ingeborg Heuser. Gemtria attended UTEP and later, The University of Utah on full ballet scholarships. She raised four children before resurrecting her dance background and becoming an instructor for the National Dance Institute of New Mexico (NDI-NM) in 1998. She spent several years as the North Artistic Director for NDI-NM, co-choreographing the End-of-the-Year Event, directing the North Show, overseeing staff, and training apprentices. In 2002, the NDI-NM Board of Directors appointed Gemtria the Managing Director for the organization. Working in close partnership with Catherine Oppenheimer, the Co-Founder/Artistic Director of NDI-NM, she facilitated a $7,000,000 Capital Campaign, oversaw the construction and management of the Dance Barns—a 33,000 square foot facility, managed the organization”s growing administrative staff, and planned for the dynamic growth of NDI-NM. In 2004, NDI-NM was approached by the Founding Chair of Kids Excel El Paso to seed a program in the El Paso community. Gemtria acted as an artistic and administrative consultant and was a founding member of the KEEP Board of Directors. Her interest in the success of the organization inspired her to move to El Paso to fill the position of Artistic/Executive Director for the budding program in 2005.

4.23.10: Today's Show
Today on The Lisa D Show we'll talk about the Global Star Party and Downtown Niche.
First we'll talk with Jon Holtzman Interim Department Head at the Department of Astronomy, New Mexico State University about a very cool event, the Global Star Party! "The excitement generated by Global Astronomy Month will come to a peak on Saturday, April 24th, with the ultimate observing event: the Global Star Party. Of course, it’s B.Y.O.T.—Bring Your Own Telescope—but encourage even those who don’t have one to come anyway. All are invited, all will be excited. It is amazing that when we turn our gaze upward, all religious, national, geographical, cultural and political barriers fade into the darkness. April 24th is the time to come out under the stars, bridge gaps across the seas, and join your brother and sister astronomers in proving that the world is, in fact, “one people, one sky.”
Click here for more info.
Then we'll talk to David Martinez, editor and publisher of Downtown Niche, a lovely little (physically) publication that focuses on arts & culture in Downtown El Paso. Find out where you can get a copy or click here to visit the publication online.

Classes are held from 10 a.m.-noon on each class date. The course fee includes all materials and a snack.
Project SAC (Saturday Art Classes), Project SAC is open for youth ages 7-18.

Classes take place from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on each class date. Creative Kids provides the resources and independent communication avenues that guide the children through the discovery of their own talent, interest and passion for the creative arts that is mediated through trained artists. The participating children are engaged in a “hands-on” arts and digital media curriculum that includes painting on canvas, printmaking, silk-screening, ceramics, watermedia, sculpture and graphic design. An important aspect of this program is giving the youth the opportunity to showcase and exhibit their artwork in public spaces throughout the El Paso community. The course fee includes all materials.
Both classes are held at the Creative Kids oLo Gallery, located at 504 San Francisco St. in the Union Plaza district of downtown El Paso. Call for prices at 568-7506.

El Paso ERA
Live in the studio we'll talk to JJ and Alan about ERA, a very cool new project that helps promote arts & culture events in El Paso. "ERA started when JJ and Stephen Escarzaga decided to help out the local music and art scene through education, special events and community outreach in December 2008. Alan went to a show at the Black Market on December 28th, 2008, but it got cancelled. Seeing the 3 touring bands (Local Natives, Voxhaul Broadcast and The Union Line) stranded with no where to go, Alan helped them get their show back, beginning his involvement with music in El Paso. on January 3rd, Alan met with JJ and Stephen and saw that they all shared the same ideas, and began planning ERA."

El Paso ERA
Live in the studio we'll talk to JJ and Alan about ERA, a very cool new project that helps promote arts & culture events in El Paso. "ERA started when JJ and Stephen Escarzaga decided to help out the local music and art scene through education, special events and community outreach in December 2008. Alan went to a show at the Black Market on December 28th, 2008, but it got cancelled. Seeing the 3 touring bands (Local Natives, Voxhaul Broadcast and The Union Line) stranded with no where to go, Alan helped them get their show back, beginning his involvement with music in El Paso. on January 3rd, Alan met with JJ and Stephen and saw that they all shared the same ideas, and began planning ERA."

4.5.10: Today's Guests
Today on "The Lisa D Show" we'll start the show with Monday guest Chris Babcock talking about news that matters. Our main focus is one news story in particular that broke over the weekend, "Rep. Norma Chávez baits Naomi Gonzalez about sexual orientation." Seeing as Early Voting starts today, this story is a great conversation piece as it's timely and deals with the culture of politics and dirty campaigns.
Later in the show, se'll talk to El Paso Representative Susie Byrd about her personal experience with dirty campaigns and how she feels about Chavez "outing" Gonzalez.
Byrd posted a link to the article mentioned above on her Facebook page and a tremendous conversation started and is still going strong. Is it ethical to make a candidate's sexualty part of politics? Tune in today to look into this issue and more.
