Wouldn’t it be GREAT?
Imagine a business considering opening
an office in Roswell and bringing with it
technology that would be equal to that of
Metropolitan cities. This business says
it will hire more than 20 local people
and buy a majority of its necessary
tools and supplies locally. It will also
invest Millions of dollars in Roswell
to make sure its products are reliable.
Not only will it spend money locally but
will also provide without charge, one of
its primary products to local schools,
Fire departments, City offices, Police
Departments and the local library.
This business promises to be an active
member in the community by helping
sponsor some of the cities local nonprofit
programs and events, along with
local school and city youth athletic
programs. It also commits to doing all
this and more, without asking the city for
any money whatsoever. This business
says it will also provide customer and
product service support at no cost to the
consumer. Wouldn’t that be GREAT!
Let me introduce you to “that” business,
meet Cable ONE of Roswell.
Exclusive
JULY/AUGUST
You’ve heard companies say
customer satisfaction is their number
ONE goal. Cable ONE takes this one
step further by saying, “Customer
satisfaction is our ONLY goal!” Our
first step towards achieving excellent
customer satisfaction was taken 30
years ago when Cable ONE decided
to make Roswell one of its hometown
communities. Cable ONE’s decision to
open a local office in Roswell not only
allowed for a local presence but also
came with a commitment to bring one
of the most technically advanced cable
systems in the country to Roswell. Over
the years, Cable ONE has held true to
its commitment by bringing smiles to
its many happy customers by investing
millions of dollars to rebuild all of
Roswell’s cable system, negotiating
contracts with many of the top Cable
Networks, providing reliable High
Speed Broadband Internet, offering
affordable residential phone service,
Digital Video Recorders and High
Definition channels.
Being a part of the community is
extremely important to Cable ONE
and that is evident when you consider

(Cable One continued from page 1)
that a majority of the Roswell office
associates are hometown folk. You
can also tell when you take a look at
how the Roswell Cable ONE office is
very active in sponsoring local events,
supporting local High School athletic
programs, being a part of local little
league programs either with financial
support or with associates coaching
teams. Cable ONE associates are also
heavily involved in local non-profit
boards.
Cable ONE is proud to be a
subsidiary of The Washington
Post Company. In its most recent
annual report to its stockholders,
The Washington Post said of Cable
ONE that we had successfully made
a transition from a business largely
based on video to a business offering
video, digital video, Internet and
telephone. This statement confirms

As my first communication to the
members of the Roswell Chamber
of Commerce, I extend my thanks
and appreciation to Jim Matteucci
for leading the Chamber this past
year. Under Jim’s leadership the
Chamber is in great financial shape
and was able to serve the members
through increased activity in Santa
Fe during the legislative session,
provide opportunities to network
through Business After Hours and
Rise with Roswell events, as well
as being directly involved with the
Chamber’s sponsorship of Hike
It and Spike It. I also extend my
thanks to the Board members who
served the business community
this past year and look forward
to working with our new and
continuing board members this
year.
Formed in 1918 the Roswell
Chamber of Commerce continues
to play a vital leadership role in
local and state issues involving the
business community. Our 89 year
history has seen lean times and
times of economic prosperity. As
a young lawyer, I was told by Mr.
Clarence Hinkle how the Chamber
was instumental in taking the lead
in encouraging retirees to consider
moving to Roswell following the
closing of Walker Air Force
Base to fill the vacant
homes and to provide some
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
economic activity. The efforts
that started in this regard continue
to this day. Retirement packages
are frequently sent to interested
retirees who what to relocate in a
friendly, warm weather city that
is affordable and yet offers social
and cultural opportunities. Retirees
continue to have a significant
economic impact in our community
and we will continue our efforts to
attract retirees.
We have seen tremendous growth
in our medical community and
facilities the past few years. A
new hospital opened, new doctors
have located in Roswell, and new
technology has been purchased
to allow Roswell to become a
regional medical center for all
of Southeastern New Mexico.
The dairy industry continues to
provde tremendous employment
and economic activity to Chaves
County. Agriculture has always
been the backbone of our economy.
Dairies, cattle growers, sheep
growers, and farmers continue
to produce the food and fiber
which we depend and Chaves
County continues to be a leader
in agriculture exports. We have
seen a resurgence in oil and gas
activity the past two years. Retail
sales continue to rise and many
new retail outlets are moving to
Roswell. The Chaves County
Development Foundation continues
to attract new business to Chaves
County. It is my hope that the
Chamber will continue to attract
these businesses as new members
to join with us to make our voice
larger and more effective.
We need all members to take an
active part in Chamber events.
Participation in Business After
Hours, Rise with Roswell, Business
Showcase, and Roswell Legislative
Day are your programs and
only succeed if you participate.
Bermarr Treat, our Executive
Director, and the staff are doing an
outstanding job. The Red Coats
continue to be the official greeting
organization and do an outstanding
job representing our community
and our Chamber. With your help
and participation, the Chamber’s
mission will have been met: The
Mission of the Roswell Chamber
of Commerce is to promote
business prosperity by assisting
business development and fostering
community pride and spirit. I look
forward to serving you as President
this year.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE NEW
575 AREA CODE IN NEW MEXICO
On October 7, 2007, the state of New Mexico will be split into two
area codes. The northwest region of the state will retain its current
area code (505), and the rest of the state will get a new area code
(575). This change will apply to wireline and wireless service as
well as other communications services.
Local calls within your area code will continue to be dialed with
7-digit dialing; local calls from one area code to another area code
will require 10-digit dialing. All long-distance calls will require
1+10-digit dialing. Remember to use the new 575 area code as
needed.

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions
about the new 575 area code change.
Why is the new area code necessary?
New Mexico is running out of telephone numbers due to growth
in state residents, communications service providers, available
telecommunications products, and additional lines. The state is
adding the new 575 area code to meet the demand for additional
telephone numbers.
Continued inside
14

When will the new 575 area code go into effect?
The new 575 area code change will be effective October 7, 2007.
For nearly a year afterward, however, callers will be able to use
either the new or old area code to complete their calls. This period
is called a “permissive dialing” period. Mandatory use of the new
575 area code will begin October 5, 2008.
Who will have the new 575 area code?
The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has divided the
state into two regions. The southern and eastern portions of the
state, including Alamogordo, Carlsbad, Clovis, Deming, Hobbs,
Las Cruces, Penasco, Roswell, Raton, Silver City, and Taos, will be
served by the new 575 area code. The northwestern region of the
state, including Albuquerque, Espanola, Farmington, Gallup, Las
Vegas, Santa Fe, Shiprock, and most of the Navajo Nation, will retain
the 505 area code.
What will not change?
Local calling areas will remain the same; the price of a call,
coverage area, or other rates and services will not change. Except
for a few of our prepaid wireless customers, your 7-digit telephone
number will be the same. You can still dial just three digits to reach
911 and 411. If 211, 311, 511, 611, 711 and 811 are currently
available in your community you can still dial them with just three
digits.
How will the new area code impact my home telephone
service?
You’ll continue to receive the same great service you’re used to;
however you may want to do some of the following things to make
sure you continue to receive calls from family and friends:
• Notify those people and businesses who call you of the change
if you live in the area of the state that is getting the new 575
area code.
• Change your area code to 575 if it appears on things like
checks or stationery.
• If necessary, reprogram equipment like automatic-dialers,
fax machines or computer modems before mandatory dialing
begins.
• Be sure everyone in your household knows your new 575 area
code, paying particular attention to children, the disabled, and
the elderly.
What should I do to be sure my business telephone service
continues to operate smoothly?
• All businesses in New Mexico should verify that their telephone
equipment is capable of completing calls to the new 575 area
code. New area codes across the country, like the new 575
area code, use a different format than area codes in the past,
which could only have a “1” or a “0” as the middle digit. Some
telephone equipment used by businesses will not recognize the
new area code until that equipment has been reprogrammed or
upgraded.
• You may need to reprogram or upgrade your equipment if your
business uses specialized communications equipment like a
PBX, electronic telephone sets, auto-dial systems or multi-line
key systems.
• Test your telephone equipment to determine if it recognizes the
new 575 area code beginning October 7, 2007, by calling one
of these test numbers: 1 575-600-1234; 1 575-580-0575; or
1 575-295-0000. Remember that you may need to use the “1”
if these numbers are long distance. If a call to the test number
does not go through, contact your equipment provider. If your
equipment is not the cause of your problem, please call your
telecommunications service provider.
What do I do if my business is assigned the new 575
area code?
• Change your area code on such things as stationery, business
cards, signs, and advertisements.
• Ask your employees to always include your area code
whenever they give out the phone number for your business.
• Notify all of your customers that your area code has changed.
• To ensure you don’t miss important calls, make your customers
aware that they may need to make changes to their equipment
to recognize the new 575 area code.
• Encourage your customers to request assistance if they have
trouble calling you.
What other communication services might be affected?
• Wireless phones that are assigned the new 575 area code may
need to be reprogrammed, or it is possible that service will
cease at the end of the permissive dialing period. If you have
a Qwest wireless phone, we will contact you with instructions
about reprogramming your phone. Alternatively, feel free
to visit one of the Qwest Solution Centers near you.
Locations are listed on our web site at www.qwest.com.
• Some prepaid wireless phones will need a number
change, so if you have a Qwest Wireless Prepaid phone,
please contact us at your convenience after October 7,
2007.
• Calling features such as Speed Dialing and Call
Forwarding may need to be updated with the new 575
area code.
• Owners of coin-operated telephones must contact their
equipment vendor for any specific equipment
requirements and changes.
• In addition to any changes in your dialing procedures,
services that operate with automatic dialing equipment
may require changes or reprogramming. Some examples
are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up
numbers, alarm and security systems, security gates,
speed dialers, call forwarding settings, voicemail, and
similar services.
Who is responsible for any costs that might be
incurred?
Because the area code change is the result of normal growth
in the state of New Mexico, any costs incurred for updating
customer owned systems and revising printed materials will
be the responsibility of the individual telephone customer.
