Small Change, Changes Lives

Electric cooperatives not only pro-vide safe, affordable and reliable

electric service to homes and busi-nesses, they also operate according to a core set of seven cooperative principles.

These principles, along with the cooperative purpose of improving quality of life for their members, make electric cooperatives different from other electric utilities. One of the principles is Concern for Community, and that is exactly what one of our state’s electric cooperatives did last December—reached out to a commu-nity member in need.

House FireOn December 30, 2014, Otero County Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Cloudcroft, was notified of a house fire in Capitan. The fire department requested the power be shut-off as the home was a total loss. A member who sits on a committee called Operation Round Up, notified Mario Romero, the co-op’s general manager, about the situation. A check was quickly gener-ated from the Operation Round Up Fund, and delivered to the member the same day.

Fund HistoryIn 2012, the co-op began participat-ing in the Operation Round Up fund. The utility bills of those members who voluntarily participate in the fund, are rounded to the next dollar. That change then goes into the Operation Round Up fund. Funds are available for individu-als up to $1,000 with an emphasis on healthcare and self sufficiency.

Individuals are required to complete an application, along with a referral letter that demonstrates the applicant’s need. The application is then consid-ered by a committee which makes rec-ommendations to the board of trustees at a monthly board meeting, who then make the final decision. In some cases, depending on when the application arrives, it can take six weeks or more to process the request.

Committee RecommendationThe committee made a recommenda-tion to the board to have “emergency” Round Up funds available for members who had immediate needs, such as a house fire, flood or roof collapse.

Those recipients would not be required to submit an application. The funds would be approved by the co-op’s general manager and immediately distributed, and the board members would be notified of the donation at the next board meeting.

The board approved the recom-mendation at the December 19, 2014, meeting. Soon after, on December 30, the co-op donated “emergency” funds to the co-op member mentioned who suffered a home loss to fire.

This is one of the many ways electric cooperatives throughout the state give back to their communities.

Solar Power Project Underway in Co-op Service Area

Last fall, management from Springer Electric Cooperative in Springer, and USDA Rural Development state director, Terry

Brunner, broke ground on a multi-million dollar electric infrastruc-ture project, including a new solar power generation facility.

The $14.1 million in funding provided by USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service was granted to Springer Electric Cooperative to build and improve 74 miles of electric line, pay for the $3.4 million photovoltaic facility, and fund $518,000 in smart grid projects.

Smart grid technologies, such as automated meter reading and load management automation, allow for more efficient control over the use of power to better meet customers’ needs. USDA has a long history dating back to 1935, of working with rural utilities to deliver infra-structure and service improvements. Through the years, these invest-ments have brought new economic and social opportunities and have enhanced the quality of life in the nation’s rural communities.

The cooperative was one of 28 electric utilities to receive $518 mil-lion in funding to improve the delivery of electric power to thou-sands of residents living in rural communities in 15 states.

According to David Spradlin, manager of Springer Electric Cooperative, the solar power generation facility began construction in February, and should be operational by the end of April.

Keven J. Groenewold. P.E. Executive Vice President New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association

After a full day at work, most of us walk through a familiar routine. Turn

on the lights and TV, boot up the computer, and head to the kitchen to start dinner.

We hardly take a step that does not involve the reliable flow of electricity. And every light switch or appliance we turn on sends the electric meter outside spinning a little faster and the monthly bill a little higher.

We often ask ourselves if there is anything we can do to lessen the pain at the end of the month. The answer is an emphatic, “Yes.” It starts with learning all we can about energy conservation and efficiency. While they are not the same thing, they are close relatives.

Conservation occurs when we reduce total consumption of elec-tricity, often achieved by simply turning off anything that consumes electricity when not needed. Energy efficiency occurs when we replace or upgrade the essentials in our lives (e.g., appliances, lighting, insula-tion), allowing us to realize the same benefit with less electricity.

The average New Mexico co-op member already uses less electricity. But there are other ways to mini-mize the monthly energy bill. Many

are very low tech options. These include weather stripping doors and windows; or applying a little caulk to those nooks and crannies.

There are also some medium and high tech solutions. Replacing exist-ing light bulbs with newer compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, using programmable thermostats, or con-trolling some of your home’s electric load to only operate on off-peak hours are all sensible solutions.

If you are curious about your energy usage, call your co-op and ask for a complete energy audit to assess how much energy your home consumes, and evaluate what measures you can take to conserve energy and make your residence more energy efficient.

Then, with audit results in hand, take action. The cumulative effect of such small steps in homes and businesses will have a direct impact on our nation’s entire electric grid—reducing demand during peak periods, cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, and lowering overall costs to co-ops and con-sumer-members. Not to mention energy efficiency helps manage load growth and delays the need to build new electric generation facilities.

With the 114th Congress get-ting down to business and the 52nd

Legislative session under way, elec-tric co-ops are working with public officials at all levels to identify and adopt achievable and balanced solutions to meet our future energy needs. In line with this effort is a pair of bills (HB-263 and SB-249) cooperatives support at the state legislature that further promotes energy efficiency.

Geothermal ground source heat-pumps are an extremely efficient way to heat and cool your home or business. This bill allows the energy saved through this process to be highlighted by converting it to a kilowatt-hour equivalent, which in turn is used for the co-op’s renewable portfolio standard (“RPS”) requirements.

And, in Washington D.C., the co-op energy efficient water heater bill (HB-906) was introduced in the House in February. The Senate version of the bill is SB-259. These bills allow co-ops to manage con-sumer demand through very effi-cient water heating. We are expect-ing quick congressional action on these bills.

So co-ops have a lot going on. Although energy consumption will continue to increase, by using elec-tricity more efficiently, we can slow the overall growth for more power.

Spring into Energy Conservation and

Efficiency

Co-ops are working with public officials at all levels to identify and adopt achievable and balanced solutions to meet our future energy needs.

Hale to the starsBY ALAN HALE

The month of March begins the exhibition of the planet

Venus in all its glory. Venus has climbed out of the southwestern dusk sky since the beginning of the year. At the start of March it remains in the evening sky until an hour after the end of dusk—a time differential which increases an additional half hour by the end of the month. Venus will glis-ten in our evening sky until July.

Two other bright planets are also visible during March. For the past several months, the Red Planet, Mars, has been hanging in our southwest-ern sky after dusk. It has now started sinking lower to the horizon and will start to disap-pear into twilight at the end of the month. Jupiter, meanwhile, shines brightly high overhead during the mid–to late evening hours, and sets in the west around the beginning of dawn.

Distant Uranus is located very close to Venus on Wednesday evening, the 4th, and then exactly one week later passes quite close to Mars. Binoculars should be sufficient for viewing this distant world.

Saturn, located near the “head” of the prominent south-ern constellation of Scorpius, rises in the southeast around midnight, and is highest above the southern horizon around the beginning of dawn. At the begin-

ning of March, Mercury may be visible close to the southeastern horizon during dawn, but disap-pears into twilight within the next week.

A total solar eclipse takes place on Friday, March 20, with the path of totality crossing parts of the northern Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean (including the North Pole). The partial phases of the eclipse will be visible throughout Europe, northern Asia and northern Africa. While New Mexico misses out on this event, it is now only 2½ years until a total solar eclipse crosses the central United States.

On March 6, the Dawn space-craft which launched in 2007 and spent a little over a year orbit-ing the main-belt asteroid Vesta before leaving 2½ years ago, arrives at Ceres, the largest main-belt asteroid and which was accorded “dwarf planet” status a few years ago. Upon arriv-ing at Ceres, Dawn will go into orbit around it, and is expected to spend at least the next year studying this little-known world of our solar system. Ceres itself can be found with binoculars this month traveling through the eastern part of the constellation Sagittarius, low in the southeast-ern morning sky.

Spinach‐Mushroom Breakfast Crepes½ cup flour ¾ cup low-fat or fat free milk 2 eggs 2 Tbs. butter substitute spread, melted ¼ tsp. kosher salt 4 eggs2 Tbs. low-fat or fat free milk 1 Tb. olive oil1 cup mushrooms, sliced ¼ cup onion, diced ¾ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 cup shredded low-fat Swiss cheese

❧ Crepes: In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, ¾ cup milk, eggs, melted butter substitute, and salt until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high; lightly coat the pan with nonstick spray. Stir the crepe batter and pour about 2 tablespoons into the hot pan, lifting the pan off the heat, tilting and rotat-ing it so that the batter forms a thin, even layer. Cook until the top of the crepe is set and the underside is golden, about 45 seconds. Turn the

crepe over using a spatula and cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 5 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a piece of wax paper. Cook the rest of the crepes in the same manner. Stack the finished crepes between sheets of wax paper.

Filling: Whisk together eggs and milk in a small bowl; set aside. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring often, until mush-rooms are softened and onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir spinach into the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until egg is set. Off heat, sprinkle eggs with cheese.

To serve, arrange a crepe on each of 4 serv-ing plates. Divide egg mixture among the crepes, then fold each crepe into a triangle; serve immediately. Servings: 4. Two ounces of milk per serving.

Chicken Sausage Scramble½ cup (4 oz.) chicken apple sausage, diced¼ cup onion, diced¼ cup red pepper, diced¼ cup sweet potato, diced4 eggs2 Tbs. low-fat or fat free milk½ cup fresh spinach leaves, choppedSalt and pepper2 whole wheat English muffins, split, toasted

❧ Coat a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; heat over medium. Add the sausage, onion, red pepper, and sweet potato and cook, cov-

ered, stirring often, until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, beat eggs with milk in a small bowl until blended. When the vegetables are tender, transfer them to a plate. Return the skillet to the burner, add the egg mixture and cook, stir-ring often, until eggs are softly scrambled. Off heat, stir in spinach, reserved sausage mixture, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately with a toasted English muffin half. Servings: 4.

Nutty Blueberry Quinoa Oatmeal2/3 cup low-fat milk¹/3 cup old-fashioned oats¼ cup cooked quinoa¼ cup blueberries1 tsp. maple syrup or sweetener of choice2 Tbs. pecan pieces2 to 3 dashes cinnamon

❧ Combine milk and oats. Cook according to package instructions to desired creami-ness. Stir in quinoa, blueberries, maple syrup, pecans, and cinnamon. Serve hot. Enjoy with an 8-ounce glass of milk. Recipe and photo by Elle Penner. Serving: 1.

Energy Sense BY JAMES DULLEY

10 MARCH 2015 enchantment.coop

Dear Jim: We are remodeling some rooms in our home and need new

lighting options. I always used 60- and 100-watt bulbs, but they are difficult to find now. What new types of lights are best to use? —Michael S.

Dear Michael: The standard high-wattage incandescent bulb technology is certainly not illegal, but it does not meet the current energy efficiency standards. Also, the bulb life is very short when compared to newer-tech-nology standards, so the overall cost of using the older bulbs is high.

The wattage of a light bulb refers to how much electricity it consumes, not how much light it produces. The amount of light is measured in units called lumens. A 60-watt incandes-cent light bulb produces about 800 lumens of light and a 100-watt bulb about 1,600 lumens.

Today, choices of bulbs are halo-gen, CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) and LEDs (light emitting diodes), which I listed in the order of increas-ing efficiency.

Halogen bulbs are basically incandescent bulbs with halogen gas around the filament to improve effi-ciency enough to meet effi-ciency standards. CFLs are much more efficient, using only about 25 percent as much electricity as incandescent

bulbs to produce the same about of light—and they last 10 times longer.

CFLs can produce true full-spec-trum (simulates natural sunlight) light quality and can be purchased with warm white, cool white and daylight color temperatures. Daylight lamps have an even higher color tem-perature, and produce more accurate colors and are good for tasks such as reading and painting.

LEDs are the newest and most efficient light source available and provide an excellent payback. A 12-watt LED produces as much light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb. The LED bulb should also last a minimum of 20,000 hours. Most are dimmable, work well at cold temperatures and reach full brightness immediately.

LEDs gradually get dimmer over time. When a LED is rated for 20,000 hours, its output will stay above 70 percent of its original brightness for that time.

If you are using incandescent bulbs, you are probably accustomed to a yellowish light quality. This is

called the “color temperature” of a bulb. Incandescent bulbs are in the 2700-degree K range. The whiter “daylight” LEDs and CFLs are in the 4,000- to 5,000-degree K range. The color temperature is listed on the packaging.

CRI (color rendering index) is another quality of the light bulb to consider. A higher CRI makes objects appear more like they would look under natural sunlight. A CRI above 80 is considered adequate for homes, but 90 or above makes everything look better and doesn’t cost much more.

There are four general types of lighting uses: ambient, accent, decora-tive, and task. Ambient lighting is for general illumination with comfortable brightness. Accent lighting can create a mood in the room or highlight areas or objects. Decorative lighting is when the light itself is the object, such as a chandelier. Task lighting is for read-ing or doing a specific activity.

For effective lighting in your new rooms, install several grouped circuits with dimmers to control and vary the lighting schemes. For example, choose high-CRI bulbs over a dining

table to enhance the appearance of

food. An overhead high color-tem-perature bulb above a chair would be good for reading or other tasks.

For existing rooms, where it may not be easy to rewire or add circuits, switch to LEDs in most fixtures, and install dimmer wall switches. There are many new types of LEDs available to replace almost any incandescent bulb. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs do not lose efficiency as they are dimmed.

The goal for lighting efficiency is to use as little lighting as needed. Where you do not have a wall switch, such as with a table lamp, install a three-way socket and use a new three-way LED. Add a four-bulb lighting kit to a ceil-ing fan with a switch to allow you to switch on fewer than all four lights.

Remember to turn off lights when you leave a room. A rule of thumb for CFLs is to switch them off if you plan to be out of the room for 15 minutes or more. Switching them on and off more often will shorten their life. Contrary to popu-lar belief, with the new electronic ballasts, “switching” does not use a large amount of current each time they’re switched on.

Efficient Indoor Lighting for Your Home

FOSSIL HUNTERS BY CHRIS EBOCH

ave you ever imagined traveling back in time and meeting a real, live dino-saur? It’s more possible than you might think—except for the “live” part.

Alan Erickson has been interested in pale-ontology—the study of fossils—since child-hood, because, “I have always enjoyed digging for treasure.” He looked up scientific papers on New Mexico paleontology and visited an area where fossil bones were found. “After a week of hunting I finally found a vertebra [back bone]. I called the museum and reported the find.” Eventually staffers from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNH&S) located in Albuquerque came to see it. It was a phytosaur, a pre-dinosaur that looked like a crocodile.

The museum staffers “brought me into the fold,” Erickson says, and he began joining official museum digs. “I enjoy the exposure to new knowledge and places, and the camarade-rie. Each dig is like a whole semester of school packed into a couple of days, but much better.”

On one museum dig, “I spotted a hillside and I just knew I’d find something there. I walked straight to the hill and I saw bones poking out of it.” The bones have yet to be stud-ied in detail but may be a tyrannosaur.

He also continues to hunt on his own. “I love finding bones, but one of the coolest things I’ve found is a piece of sandstone with 10 or 15 dif-ferent leaves or seeds in different colors. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.”

For others interested in dinosaur hunting, Erickson advises, “It takes a long time to find this stuff. You have to learn how to see them.” If you do find something, “Check the GPS coordi-nates and call the museum. You’ll have more fun with the museum involved than without them.”

Field and LabSome volunteers work in the museum as well as in the field, almost turning their hobby into a full-time job. Paul Sealey is a museum research associate, an official but unpaid position. “I was one of the first volunteers here,” he says. “I’ve been collecting fossils for 45 years.”

Sealey is best known for his discovery of the “Bisti Beast,” a new species of tyranno-saur. He knew right away he had something special. “There was part of a jaw with a tooth eroding out. Parts of the ribs, legs and femur were exposed too. It turned out to be a partial skeleton.” The skull is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution, while the rest is still in the NMMNH&S prep lab. Some of Sealey’s other finds are on display in Albuquerque as well. The science comes first, “but it’s good they are on display so the public can see too.”

Sealey’s specialty is ammonites, an extinct marine animal related to octopus and squid. “I’ve been all over the state. The most fun is always making a discovery, but that’s just the start. Then you have to curate them.” He cleans the fossils, makes labels, photographs them, and catalogs everything. He’s been working on a monograph about ammonites for years. He keeps finding new things, like one known from Texas that had not been found in New Mexico before. “It’s hard to stop,” says Sealey.

Going ProAmanda Cantrell took her hobby even farther. “When I met my fiancé, we started going on hikes, and finding fossils. I got obsessed with it.” She volunteered at the museum, worked as an intern, and finally got hired as Geoscience Collections Manager. “I’m a librarian of fos-sils,” she says. Her fiancé is now the prep lab

manager, and they’re both still passionate about fossils.

Cantrell warns amateurs not to move or col-lect anything. It’s illegal to collect fossils of ver-tebrates (animals with a spine) on public lands. Besides, the find is most valuable if the scien-tists have a chance to study it in place. “Once you pick up a fossil, you take it out of context. It’s important if someone finds a [vertebrate] fossil, not to touch it,” Cantrell says. “Get a GPS coordinate, and call us or send a picture.” It is legal to collect certain fossils, but know the laws and “when in doubt, take pictures, get GPS coordinates, and ask. There is a legal way to collect, and that’s through us.”

Cantrell encourages interested people to join the New Mexico Friends of Paleontology. The museum hosts field trips two to four times a year, led by a professional paleontologist. Volunteers often find exciting fossils, from giant plants to dinosaur bones. “It’s often the only way they can find vertebrate fossils and touch them,” Cantrell says.

A Cool ContributionDenise Elvrum has been on several museum digs. “I have been interested in paleontology since I was a little girl. When the opportunity came up to go on real digs, I jumped at it. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.”

On one dig, they found an aetosaur, a rela-tive of the crocodile. “I was off scouting with a senior volunteer and we noticed a group of what looked like white rocks in a pattern in the dirt of a small arroyo. After testing it and deciding that it was in fact bone, we started very carefully removing dirt around the pieces. We keep digging, using small scoops and dental picks, and found a right hind-quarter of

COLLECTING GUIDELINESThe Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has guidelines for collect-ing on public land. Vertebrate fossils, such as dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles, and fishes, may only be collected by trained researchers with a BLM permit. Trace fossils—footprints and coprolites (poop)—are also protected. Common invertebrate fossils, such as plants and wood, may be collected “for personal use in reasonable quantities, but may not be bartered or sold.”

the critter. At that point our hearts were jumping around! We got the head paleontologist to come look at it and he was super excited; it was the best one of these things he’d ever seen, too.”

The most complete aetosaur skeleton ever found anywhere, is now on display at the museum. Elvrum says, “I felt that by helping to uncover this creature, I was contributing something to paleontology in New Mexico and maybe to the greater world. It makes you feel special. I’ve gone to visit ‘my’ dino, and taken my picture with it. It’s really, really neat!”

Jurassic Park may be a fantasy, but dinosaur lovers can meet these beasts in the wild—with a little help from museum friends.

SECRETS OF THE PLUMED SAINTBy Elizabeth Ann Galligan2012, 178 pages, ABQ Presswww.abqpress.com

This mystery novel revolves around life in a small mountain village in Northern New Mexico when a treasured carving of the Plumed Saint that the village has preserved for 100 years suddenly disappears from the church. The blurb on the back cover describes the novel as “a delightful crime mystery set in an elbow of time . . .” Galligan is good at dialogue and description. She has done her homework when it comes to cross-cultural issues, including a peek at the influence of the hippies on the village. She even offers a glos-sary of Spanish expressions. Galligan is also a poet and retired educa-tor in Bilingual and Multicultural Education with a degree in anthro-pology. The story is neatly wrapped up at the end: “In Villa Vieja, vil-lagers who had been suspicious and unkind to each other examined their own consciences. The statue’s disap-pearance had tested their strengths and revealed their weaknesses.” With new appreciation, they reflect on forgiveness and forge new bonds in the community.

I HAVE A GRANDMA WHO . . .By Rosemary Zibart2014, 32 pages, Azo Presswww.azropress.com, 505-989-3272

Two creative “grannies” from Santa Fe have hatched an energetic children’s book that shatters the old clichés about rocking-chair grandmas. According to the press release, AARP tells us 62 percent of grandparents nationwide are still working. This slim, attrac-tive book redefines the roles of Baby Boomer grandmothers and sparks them into life on the page. An inter-esting variety of grandmothers share with their grandchildren their love of animals, swimming with dolphins, performing household repairs, paint-ing like Picasso, cooking like Julia Child, dressing chic, loving their bikes (motorcycles) or singing arias. The text is brief and the glossy pages are beau-tifully laid out. The charming illustra-tions that bubble with tenderness and humor are easily worth a thousand words. I like the mountain-hiking grandma who stands with one hand outstretched to her granddaughter as she balances on stepping stones across the stream. No wonder this clever cre-ation was a finalist in the picture book category for the 2014 New Mexico/Arizona Book Award.

NEXT STOP: GALLUP!By Anne Overland201, 285 pages, America Star Bookswww.publishamerica.com

In her early twenties Overland joined an order of Trappistine nuns in Arizona, but was soon diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The debilitating battle ends her vocation, but not her contemplative life. She spends two years living in a hogan at a Catholic Retreat Center in the mountains near Gallup where her walking and balance gradually improve. Her body seems to heal as she applauds the Navajo Code Talkers at the Gallup parade, explores the mountains, encounters bobcat kittens or takes a lone snowy hike to pick out the per-fect Christmas tree. One day, afraid of a rowdy bull, she sits trapped in her car for several hours. This forced solitude gives her time to contemplate her life choices. She sees that retreat work is not only a worthy profession but a high calling that has helped her return to good health. Enjoying a balloon rally in Albuquerque she sees that “. . . even with MS I could soar above it all too.”

Safety Tips for Work Zone Awareness WeekMarch 23 to 27 is National Work Zone Awareness Week, which is designated to call attention to the hazards in work zones. Safe Electricity urges motorists to slow down and pay attention in work zones while driving.

To help prevent fatalities and injuries, Safe Electricity recommends the following guide-lines while driving:• Keep a safe distance between your vehicle

and traffic barriers, trucks, construction equipment, and workers.

• Be patient. Traffic delays are sometimes unavoidable, so try to allow time for unex-pected occurrences in your schedule.

• Obey all signs and road crew flag instructions.• Merge early and be courteous to other drivers.• Minimize distractions. Avoid activities such as

operating a radio or eating while driving.

Power poles and electrical equipment that line streets, highways and narrow roadways often require crews to place equipment in traffic lanes. Their work activities are often taken for granted but benefit us all; and they deserve a safe work-place. Be alert to utility crews and other work zone workers for their safety as well as yours.

Vecinos BY FLORENCE DEAN

Eagle Scout Dylan Benshoof in front of the Inertial Navigation Exhibit Display Case.

This is Rocket ScienceWhen Dylan Benshoof embarked on his journey to his Eagle

Scout Rank, he aimed high—to a new, permanent museum exhibit: Inertial Navigation “It Really Is Rocket Science.”

The 746th Test Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base had long envisioned an exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Space History in nearby Alamogordo, explaining the principals of Inertial Navigation. New Mexico’s contributions were complex; the state played a prominent role in the develop-ment of Inertial Navigation, and the artifacts that brought this story to life—real guidance units from Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles—were large and heavy, requiring special exhibit cases.

Boy Scouts of America Troop 958 Eagle candidate, Dylan Benshoof of Cloudcroft, offered to construct the exhibit’s elaborate display cases; and the project began. Conceived during conversations with members of the 746th Test Squadron, the then 15-year-old wrote a proposal for the exhibit which was signed off by museum director Chris Orwoll and the Boy Scout Council in May 2013. To complete the proposal Benshoof outlined the story the exhibit would tell and how the available exhibits would fit into the open footprint on the museum floor.

Over a period of several months, Benshoof led a team that designed and constructed the glass fronted wood cases; and planned and directed their relocation from the Museum Support Center.

Once in place on the museum floor, he supervised many finish-ing touches. To accomplish this, he enlisted the aid of Boy Scouts Harry Crinklaw and Devri Rivera, Troop 958, as well as members of the Test Squadron and his dad, Paul Benshoof, president of Southern

New Mexico Institute of Navigation. Most of the material needed was donated by Lowe’s Home Improvement.

Many artifacts, including a unit used on board the Apollo Guidance System had been donated by the 746th Test Squadron and White Sands Missile Range; some were discovered at the museum during construc-tion. Museum support staff headed by Ron Keller, exhibit manager, assisted the young scouts and allowed access to the Support Center.

There were a few glitches! When the disassembled display cases were moved to the museum they were too large for the elevator, requiring Benshoof and helpers to break down some parts, again. And, the floor where the cases were built proved to be uneven, making installation in the museum a challenge.

Finally, Benshoof also devised an interactive video in the style of an old drive-in movie showcasing innovative Inertial Navigation from inception to present. The exhibit opened July 4, 2014, and for his efforts Benshoof was awarded the Eagle Scout rank last January.

Benshoof is now a 17-year-old honor roll senior at Cloudcroft High School, plays trumpet in the high school band, is a bugle player for Boy Scouts of America Troop 958, and has two part-time jobs. He has also accumulated college credits while simultaneously attending school, working and remaining active in his scout troop.

He exemplifies the Boy Scout tradition—the tenets of the Boy Scout oath and law.

BACKYARD TRAILS

Think of all the “firsts” from New Mexico: rocketry, UFO landings, split atoms. It is here the modern and the future are oddly aligned with the long ago, ancient past.

Each day hundreds of cars course through Tijeras Canyon, and many drivers make the trip twice a day to make a living. Some are immersed in nuclear or nano-technology at Sandia National Laboratories. They follow a primordial path that Paleo-Indians used, this natural cut in the moun-tains. It is after all, the lowest spot for miles up and down the Sandia and Manzano mountain chain.

The book, Roadside History of New Mexico, notes Tijeras wasn’t settled by Americans until 1856. That may be true, but history is perceived from the angle of vision. A Spanish land grant made in 1763 brought settlers to the area from Albuquerque. And mere feet from where commuters pour on and off the highway at Tijeras, the place bustled with activ-

ity almost 700 years before Oppenheimer tinkered with atoms.

Today, the Tijeras Pueblo rests in silence but not inactivity behind the present Cibola National Forest ranger station on NM 337. In its day hundreds of people lived here, eking a living from the friable dirt.

Tijeras Pueblo was occupied roughly from 1300 to 1425, and was the site of another first—red-glazed pottery was first excavated in New Mexico, here. This pueblo was one of three major villages in the area. Paa-ko Pueblo is visible from NM 14 at the modern-day subdivision of the same name along San Pedro Creek. A few miles south at San Antonio, the present church sits on top of an ancient religious kiva, done by design by conquer-ing Spaniards.

No one can say for sure why Tijeras Pueblo was abandoned, but it was never occupied by Spaniards—and that is

significant for the archaeologic record. Tijeras Pueblo gives a look into the pre-history of New Mexico. Archeologists uncovered some interesting finds—a mosaic on a kiva floor inlaid with semi-precious stones, altar pieces and walls adorned with murals. The site was fully excavated by the University of New Mexico Archeological Field School in 1975.

A stroll over the old pueblo is an easy walk. It’s open every day with interpretive signs where you can learn how folks lived a long time ago. Guided tours are available. Call 505-281-3304 to make an appointment. Visit www.friendsoftijeraspueblo.org to learn more.

There are so many animals and things to draw. So, let's focus on the Rhinoceros! Did you know rhinos roll in the mud so they don't get sunburned? For May's topic, draw a rhino or two. To keep them from getting a sunburn, add a colorful hat and sunglasses to your rhino. Have fun!
