Kudos to the safety Poster coloring contest winnersMay is National Electrical Safety

Month, and electric cooperatives strongly support the communities they serve. One way of showing their support is sponsoring the annual Safety Poster Coloring Contest. This contest, which first began in 1984, is held to promote electri-cal safety and awareness among children.

Electric cooperatives in conjunction with the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Member Services Association hold this contest for second, third and fourth grade students in cooperative service areas. Each cooperative then selects an overall winner for the statewide competition where first, second and third place prizes are awarded.

Help Keep Electricity Affordable Have Your Voice Heard Before May 9The U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) has abandoned its “all-of-the above” energy strategy for a new “all-but-one” approach that effec-tively removes coal from the nation’s fuel mix in the future. Proposed EPA rules want to set stringent standards on carbon dioxide emissions from future coal and natural gas plants. The trouble is, the proposed standards are impossible to meet with existing technology that is prohibitively expensive and not commercially viable.

Residents of rural communities already spend more per capita on energy than anywhere else. As not-for-profit member-owned electric co-ops, we are concerned about maintaining affordable and reliable electricity for our members.

We strongly encourage you to visit the Cooperative Action Network at www.action.coop and learn the facts about these proposed rules. In addition, have your voice heard before the public comment period ends May 9. You can provide your comments at www.action.coop or give Robert Adams, grassroots coordinator, a call at 505-982-4671 and he can assist you.

May marks National Electrical Safety Month, and the electricity

your electric cooperative provides day-in and day-out is a phenomenal resource, powering our modern lifestyles in a safe, reliable, and affordable way. But electricity must be respected: if safety isn’t made a priority, what changes our lives for the better could change them for the worse in an instant.

Safety has been a part of the fun-damental culture at the New Mexico electric co-ops since day one. Being an electric line worker is ranked by the U.S. Department of Labor as one of the most dangerous jobs, on the same list as ship builders, loggers, and high-rise iron workers. We demand that not only those out in the field, but employees at all levels make safety a top priority.

New Mexico electric cooperatives are committed to keeping our mem-bers and the general public safe from dangerous situations. Proper facil-ity maintenance and warning signs are key elements in our tireless effort to keep every one safe, and aware of energized electrical equipment in the surrounding area. But electric shock is not the only item we should have on our electricity safety checklist.

Electrical problems in older homes account for over 50,000 fires every year. The risk of such fires is noteworthy since half of all homes in the United States were constructed and wired prior to 1973, according to the U.S. Census Bureau—before the advent of garage door openers or home computers. Even more telling, one-third of U.S. homes were built before hair dryers or electric can openers were even invented.

The Electrical Safety Foundation International has created a checklist that lets consumers identify electrical dangers commonly found in each room of their home. Owners of older homes can upgrade their electric systems with newer fire prevention technology, such as arc fault circuit interrupters. These advanced electronic circuit break-ers detect dangerous conditions in a home’s wiring and cut off power before a fire develops.

Additionally, those living in older homes with children can install tamper-resistant receptacles. These devices look like normal electrical outlets, although they have a built-in shutter system that prevents children from inserting foreign objects into the slots. Use of tamper-resistant receptacles would prevent most of the burns suffered by children each year from outlets.

But electrical safety is not just an indoor activity. Outdoor activities in the spring time are a good way to shake off the winter cabin fever. However, a few common-sense precautions can help to ensure a safe, fun event. For example, when planning your outdoor event, make certain you know the area and weather forecast. Things like flying kites can be an enjoyable family occasion. But always make sure you are a safe distance from overhead power-lines. Sudden changes in weather or wind can have consequences.

Eliminating electrical hazards begins with education and awareness. National Electrical Safety Month is a time for all of us to reexamine our sur-roundings and determine what steps we can take to prevent death or injury, and billions of dollars in economic losses that occur each year because of electrical hazards. Please take time to learn how you can be safe around electricity at home. Spending just a few minutes with some helpful resources can make all the difference when you’re faced with a possible unsafe situation.

For more information on electri-cal safety, please visit your local co-op website, as well as SafeElectricity.org and Electrical-Safety.org. Be safe this month and every month.

May 2004: Keeping the Water Flowing. The Moors of North Africa introduced irrigation to Spain over 1,000 years ago. Pueblo Indians were irrigating their fields when the Spaniards arrived 500 years ago.

For the first time in several months, all five of the bright

planets in our solar system are easily visible in the nighttime skies of May. What makes this viewing convenient for the casual sky-watcher is four of these worlds are best viewed in the hours before midnight.

As it has for the past few months, our solar system’s larg-est planet, Jupiter, continues to dominate the evening sky, although it is now somewhat low in the west and sets one to two hours after the end of dusk.

Also, viewable during the early evening hours is Mercury,

which during the latter half of May

shines low in the west-ern sky during twilight.

Mars is well placed for viewing, being highest above the horizon around the end of twilight, and remaining in the western sky until setting around the beginning of dawn

Following a couple of hours behind Mars is Saturn, which is highest around midnight and then remains in the western sky for the rest of the night.

The one planet solely vis-ible during the morning hours is brilliant Venus, which rises in the east around the same time dawn just starts to make its presence known. The thin crescent moon makes an attrac-tive pair with Venus on Sunday morning, the 25th.

There is a possibility of a strong meteor shower appear-ing during the first one to two hours after midnight on Friday night/Saturday morn-ing, May 23-24. Conceivably, there could be as many as 100 or more meteors per hour, mainly appearing to come from the northern sky not too far from the north star, Polaris.

This possible meteor shower is due to a tiny comet that was discovered a decade ago by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program based at White Sands Missile Range, and which returns every five years.

On May 29, the comet passes only five million miles from Earth, and during the holiday weekend just prior to that it will travel rapidly southward

near the “sickle” of the constel-lation Leo, the Lion. Despite its close passage by our planet, a moderate-size telescope will probably still be necessary to see the comet.

Photos, top to bottom: Students cook at the Taos High School Edu@Work Café; and the dining area of the restaurant. Photos by Karen Boehler.

Finding a place to dine in Taos is not difficult. High-class res-taurants feature exquisite cui-

sine served on fine china and crystal. Whether you’re looking for a breakfast plate of Taoseño Eggs Benedict with a homemade sticky bun and glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, or a lunch of grilled pork loin with chipotle mush-room sauce, topped off with a luscious chocolate cake, you don’t have to look far.

What most visitors don’t know, is you can find all of the above and much more at the Taos High School Edu@Work Café, part of the high school’s culinary arts program. Residents, how-ever, delight in stopping by from 8:00

a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on most Thursdays to check out the menu.

“My husband and I, on various Thursday’s throughout the year, at lunchtime, head to the cafe and have an amazing lunch,” says Taos native Elizabeth Johnson, who stopped by the cafe last summer. “The food is amaz-ing. We have not had anything that is not delightful and yummy.”

The program began more than a decade ago, when Mary Spears started

teaching what was then a home eco-nomics program at the high school. The classes quickly evolved into what culinary instructor Benjie Apodaca calls a “true culinary” program. And while some students think it may be an easy course to give them a break from algebra, English and history, it’s not.

Students have to apply for the program by filling out an application, writing an essay and answering five questions. Apodaca compares it to applying for a job, and for the students who put the time in, it’s a way to make the restaurant business a career.

Crestina Medina started as a freshman and is now enrolled at New

Mexico State University in hotel and restaurant management with a minor in culinary science. She says what she learned was invaluable. “It’s been amazing. The experiences are awesome. You get to do banquets. You get to work with executive chefs from around Taos and Albuquerque, so it’s really good.”

The Edu@Work Café is an out-growth of the program that opened its doors four years ago. The restaurant occupies a small dining room, state-of-

the-art commercial kitchen and outside patio on the high school campus. It is almost completely student-run, with Apodaca overseeing both inside and out of the kitchen.

The tables are simple, some covered with table cloths, others plain, with silverware, folded napkins, carafés of lemon water and a listing of the day’s specials. The walls of the cafe are lined with photos, plaques detailing student awards and clippings of articles about the program.

Students act as maitre d’s and wait-ers, greeting, taking orders and serving guests. They learn how to interact with guests and how to present and tally the check. They set and bus the tables, fold napkins, and keep the area clean.

In the kitchen, students are found doing everything from peeling pota-toes to stirring sauces to creating the delightful desserts that tempt visitors.

Everything is designed as it might be in a high-class commercial kitchen. Stainless steel tables are arranged between stoves and grills. Pots, pans and utensils hang from a rack on the ceiling, and the walls are lined with shelves filled with non-perishable food items and more cooking equipment.

Of course, cleanup is necessary and sinks line another alcove in the kitchen and a washer and dryer are there to launder the napkins as well as the student uniforms. The students learn to cook, clean and serve, they also dress

the part, with the front wait staff dressed in matching outfits and the cooks wear-ing their cook’s whites and chef ’s hats.

But the cafe isn’t the only working experience the students get. In addition to classroom learning, the culinary arts students also run a concession stand at the Taos Youth and Family Center and, in 2013, when a pro baseball team came to the community, the students ran that concession stand. Plus, they cater events throughout Taos, from small affairs to weddings for 300 people.

“So we’ve got a lot of different opera-tions going on,” Apodaca says.

Those operations are important because while the school district covers the overhead of the on-campus activi-ties, everything from food costs to sala-ries—students are paid after an initial 12 hours of community service—to uniforms, and money to attend state and local competitions are raised by the students and supporters. They put their cooking skills to work not only at the cafe, but at bake sales and selling breakfast burritos on campus.

Besides mentoring students, area chefs also support the program through the Great Chefs of Taos orga-nization, a non-profit made up of Taos area professional chefs who sponsor events to benefit the culinary arts pro-gram. Through the program, students learn what it really takes to work in the food and hospitality business.

Energy Sense BY JAMES DULLEY

Know the Pros of installing radiant BarriersDear Jim: My air-conditioning

costs were high last summer and we still felt too warm at times. I see ads for radiant barriers that are supposed to save a lot. How does a radiant barrier work, will it save much and how much does it cost?—Ann T.

Dear Ann: Everyone has read advertisements or received sales calls about the huge energy sav-ings from installing attic radiant barriers. The savings claimed are often the very maximum possible and are exaggerated for the typical retrofit installation. Having said this, proper installation in a spe-cific house can yield a reasonable payback and better comfort.

The savings from installing a radiant barrier in the attic vary considerably depending upon your climate and your specific house, ori-entation to the sun. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory estimates the air-conditioning cost savings can range from about $150 annually for very hot climates to only $40 for cold climates. Attic radiant barriers provide little positive or negative effect during the heating seasons. If your electric coop-

erative offers time-of-use rates, the saving may be somewhat higher.

It is important to understand the basics of heat transfer: how a house loses and gains heat, so you can evaluate whether your home is a good candidate for radiant bar-riers. The most important basic is the rate at which heat flows from a hot area to a cold one is a func-tion of the temperature difference between the two spaces.

Conduction is heat flow through a solid object or several objects touching one another. This is how the handle on an iron skillet gets hot on the stove. The walls and ceiling of a house also lose or gain heat this way because the building materials are all nailed together.

Convection is where heat flows through a moving fluid or gas. This generally increases the rate of heat flow compared to plain conduction through a solid. An example is how your skin loses heat faster during winter in the wind. This causes the wind chill factor creating an effec-tive lower temperature.

Radiation is heat flow directly from one object to another through a vacuum, air, or glass. It is not dependent on touching or fluid flow. This is how the sun heats the

Earth or you feel warm sitting in front of a raging fire.

What makes radiant energy unique is it is much more affected by the temperature difference than the other types of heat flow. For conduc-tion and convection, if the tempera-ture difference between indoors and outdoors doubles, the heat flow also doubles. With radiation, the heat flow is 16 times greater when the temperature difference doubles.

This is why radiant barriers are most often used in the attic to block heat flow through the roof. On a hot summer afternoon, the temperature of a dark shingle roof can easily reach 150 degrees. This hot roof conducts heat to the roof sheathing. From there, conduction takes over the heat radiant and carries it down through the insulation, to your ceil-ing, and into your house.

Radiant barriers require an air gap to prevent them from touch-ing the hot surface; otherwise, they become a conductor like any other building material. Reinforced alu-minum foil was typically used as the radiant barrier, but now many barriers use plastic films with reflective surfaces.

In addition to reflectivity, emit-tance is a property of radiant barri-ers. It should be lower than 0.25 - 25 percent in order to be an effective barrier. Aluminum foil is well below the 0.25 level. There also are reflec-tive paints, such as Low/Mit (www.solec.org), which can be sprayed underneath the roof sheathing. Definitely check the emittance spec before signing any contract.

To get a good payback from the energy savings, it makes sense to install the radiant barrier yourself. Companies, such as Innovative Insulation, Inc. (www.radiantbar-rier.com) sell double-sided reflec-tive foil as a 4x250-foot roll. Invest in a hand construction stapler, a utility knife, and a long straight edge and you are ready to install it.

The easiest method to install the radiant barrier is to cut it into lengths and staple it underneath the roof rafters. It is not important how neatly it is installed, but it is important to have adequate attic ventilation, preferably a combi-nation of soffit and a ridge vent. When installing single-sided foil, face the reflective side down to take advantage of its low emittance.

To install radiant barriers yourself, you will need a hand construction stapler, a utility knife, and a long straight edge. Source: James Dulley.


For Elias Savedra, his military service during World War II is something he has always kept to himself. Savedra is one of 1,800 New Mexicans who became known

as “The Battling Bastards of Bataan” of the famed 200th and 515th Coast Artillery Regiments, New Mexico National Guard (NMNG), ordered by the U.S. to surrender to the Japanese Army and who endured the suffering of the Bataan Death March and prison camp. His experiences during World War II are something he rarely discusses with his family, much less with anyone else.

On April 26, 2008, former Secretary of the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services’ John Garcia; former New Mexico National Guard Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Kenny Montoya; and the Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the U.S. Army, Mahlon Love (retired) made a surprise visit to Savedra’s home in San Rafael to honor his ser-

vice and present him with long, overdue medals he earned in World War II.

According to Col. Ken Nava, the NMNG’s public affairs officer at the time, the trio of presenters were warned; Savedra would most likely not be happy about their visit. “I don’t want anything and I don’t want the medals,” Nava recounts Savedra saying to the presenters, but as Montoya presented the medals to him, a visibly proud Savedra asked they be given to his son Alfred.

My recent attempt in March to interview the feisty 96-year-old Savedra was met with antici-pated resistance. As I knelt by his side and intro-duced myself, he shook my hand and said, “Okay, you can go now.” Knowing of his quiet demeanor, I quickly switched to Spanish to see if I could get a conversation started. He acknowledged his birth-day, his age and being in ‘La Philippina,’ but again, Savedra kept encouraging me to leave.

Savedra is known as the silent veteran and never participates in any of the memorial cer-emonies. Only he knows the horrific things he endured, and it is his way of coping.

Alfred says, “A few years back I tried to trick him and attempted to drive him over to a veterans’ ceremony. I was unsuccessful and he sternly told me, ‘Don’t you ever bring me here again!’”

Savedra joined the New Mexico National Guard on April 4, 1941, and was assigned to the 200th Coast Artillery Regiment. He answered the call to duty, volunteering to serve his country while a war loomed on the horizon.

His regiment was federalized and sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, for additional training, competing against other troops from across the country; and it was the New Mexico ‘boys’ who prevailed—the ones who set and exceeded the standard. Thus, they were selected to go to the Philippine Islands to provide a first line of defense against the Japanese Army.

During the 71st Bataan Memorial Ceremony, Brig. Gen. Andrew Salas, Adjutant General of the NMNG, described the events and what these gentlemen endured.

“These young men displayed incredible cour-age and tenacity against all odds. It’s a story of overcoming, it’s a story of triumph and it’s one of the greatest stories ever told of 1,800 young New Mexico men from every corner of the state—small towns, cities, ranches and farms—answering their nation’s call to duty as the storm clouds rolled over

Europe and the Pacific. It’s a story of these young men—because they excelled—being hand chosen to take on this special assignment.”

“But what a special assignment—they were taken to the middle of the storm, the eye of the hurricane, the most likely place the Japanese would attack next,” Salas explained.

“There they trained with few actual weapons so they used broomsticks; they simulated and

made do without. When they showed up to their stations, they were given inadequate equipment and not enough of it—old rounds from World War I, fuses that were outdated and shells that when fired, maybe one went off. But not one of them complained and not one of them said ‘we can’t do it.’ They all reported for duty, they all did their best and when the enemy drew first blood over the skies of Fort Stockton, our New Mexico boys were the first to fire,” Salas said.

For four months, they held back the Japanese Army and I don’t know why General Hama didn’t commit suicide right then and there, Salas said, since he had orders to take the Philippines in four weeks—a timetable essential for the Japanese to take the Pacific before the United States could build back its forces, regenerate the fleet, secure the bases, and reinforce Australia. Salas said, “It was supposed to be easy, but four weeks turned into four months of hell for the Japanese 14th Army and they must have asked themselves, ‘who are these people from New Mexico?’”

“Our heroes fought them down that peninsula despite suffering from starvation—eating iguanas, their pack mules, and what they could find along the way,” Salas said. “The little bit of ammuni-

tion they had was really no good. They were out of medicine, suffering from dysentery, malaria, beriberi; but they did it as brothers-in-arms. They were not ready to surrender and I think all of them could be quoted as saying, ‘I yet just begun to fight’ as the Japanese tanks rumbled in the hills and in the tree line above the beaches. They would have fixed bayonets and rushed.”

Salas reminded the Bataan veterans they did not surrender of their own will. “They were ordered to surrender and like good soldiers, they reluctantly did what they were ordered to do; but they were ready to fight to the last man.” Salas said that while it does seem kind of odd to celebrate a day of surrender, April 9, 1942; he describes the story of Bataan as anything but a story of surrender.

Then, the hell began for those captured on Bataan. The 78,000 U.S. and Filipino prison-ers of war were forced to march 65 miles over six days to Camp O’Donnell, a prisoner of war camp. While en route, they were denied food, water and medical care; and those who fell out of the march were bayoneted.

On January 19, 1943, Savedra’s mother, Mrs. Manuelita Savedra, received a telegram from

Elias Savedra …continued from page 11

the U.S. War Department stating her son Elias was reported as a prisoner of war of the Japanese Government in the Philippine Islands. She then received a letter from the U.S. War Department dated January 30, 1943, confirming his prisoner of war status.

Meanwhile, horrific and tortuous conditions existed at Camp O’Donnell—starvation, diseases, the sun treatment for those seen out of line—forced to stand out in the hot Philippine sun.

Others were put into hell ships in cargo hold areas with the sewage. They could not sit or lie down—some dying as they stood next to each other. Some were sent to Japan to work in the mines.

Alfred says his father spent some time at Camp O’Donnell and was later sent to Japan to work in the coal mines.

When I asked Savedra what he ate during that time, he responded, “poquito de arroz, tres veces al dia” (a tiny bit of rice, three times a day).

Yet, Savedra and his fellow brothers-in-arms endured, holding up in the prisoner of war camps despite being treated with unimaginable horrors, the way no human should be treated.

Manuelita received another telegram from the U.S. War Department on October 10, 1945, that quoted Savedra, “DOING FINE WILL SEE YOU ALL SOON LOVE.” The report further stated his physical condition was good.

At the end of the war and after 40 months of unthinkable horrors of captivity, a little more than half of our New Mexico boys would leave the camps and survived the war. Corp. Elias Savedra was honorably discharged May 22, 1946, and returned home to San Rafael where he would run a gas service station and store, and raise his three sons with his wife. Savedra later converted the gas station to his home where he currently resides.

Salas proudly said during the ceremony, “these brave men have left us a legacy of honor we will never forget and we will never allow to be forgot-ten as long as we live. We will tell this story to our generation and generations after us.”

“They taught us the importance of faith in God above, faith in each other—when the going got tough, they were there for one another,” Salas con-cluded. “They taught us about the love of family and how to sustain the idea that you can have will with that faith and family and God to sustain you. They taught us that you can overcome adversity because they had a cause that was bigger than themselves. These gentlemen hold a special place in our heart. They are part of our legacy; they are our fathers, our older brothers and we love them more than what words can say—they mean the world to us.”

Before leaving Savedra’s home, we had the honor to get a last minute smile from him. Whether he was happy to see us go, or happy to smile for the camera, he only knows. But one thing we do know, this 96-year-old gentleman who still chews tobacco, will always enlighten the hearts of his loved ones who surround him everyday.

son provides loving care for his aging father

dressed in a pair of blue overalls, Alfred Saavedra (according to Alfred's birth certificate, his last name is spelled Saavedra) tenderly places his hand on his father's shoulders as he explains his father is his top

priority. After speaking with his wife Lorraine six years ago, both agreed it was in the best interest for Alfred to move in next door with his father to provide daily care. The love and care Lorraine and Alfred have shown Elias is admirable. Alfred is Elias’ one surviving son. Alfred's brother, Johnny, served in Vietnam, and passed away at age 50. His younger brother, Louie, passed away at the age of 35 in Los Angeles. Lorraine's father, Henry Bermudez, also served in World War II and presently resides near the family as well.

Alfred followed in his father’s footsteps and served with the 387th Engineer Company, U.S. Army Reserves, Albuquerque, retiring as a Sergeant First Class. He and his unit were activated in 1990 and served in Desert Storm for six months where his platoon was responsible for putting in 150 miles of fuel pipeline.

Alfred rarely leaves his father's side and when he does, it's only for two reasons. One, to attend co-op board meetings where he has been a trustee on the Continental Divide Electric Co-op board for 15 years. He says he enjoys representing the people in the co-op service area; and commends the board of trustees, the general manager and the employees of the co-op for their hard work.

The other time he leaves, is about 10 minutes every morning to get his father's favorite pancakes from a local fast food restaurant. Alfred says, "we've made homemade pancakes and he doesn't eat them. He only likes the one's from the restaurant." One thing is for sure though, Elias loves Alfred's homemade bacon.

THE TRUE SECRET OF WRITINGBy Natalie Goldberg2013, 236 pages, $25 hardbackAtria Bookswww. amazon.com

This is Goldberg at her quintessen-tial best, sharing her deep personal history and lifelong experience with writing and teaching that includes a spiritual retreat at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos. She leads the struggling author in dozens of writing exercises plus the basics of meditation. She also shares wonder-ful quotes from some of her favor-ite writers. In her headlong style, Goldberg doesn’t shy away from the human condition: happiness as well as despondency, loneliness, aging, illness, and death. She urges the writer to use all this as fodder for the sacred blaze on the altar of existence. Again and again she pins the reader in the moment with sensuous details of the physical world, the scents and sounds, textures and moods of her setting. She showers us with a cornucopia of words that all point to one essential thing: the silence out of which they were born. And how to let go into the spiral of destruction and creation.

DULCE BASEBy Greg Valdez2013, 280 pages, $25Levi-Cash Publishingwww.dulcebasebook.com

Greg Valdez has solved the great mys-tery of so-called “cattle mutilations” with three letters: CIA. His book is based on research, Internet investiga-tions, and the files of his deceased father, former state policeman Gabe Valdez, who was well known for his long-time investigation of “cattle mutilations.” Gabe Valdez worked closely with scientist Paul Bennewitz, author of “Project Beta,” a report of the scientist’s observations of UFO activ-ity around Kirtland Air Force Base. Bennewitz claimed he could commu-nicate with the aliens via his computer and knew their weaknesses. The author suggests we toss out all the stuff about aliens and a secret alien base on Mount Archuleta near Dulce on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation; and we will have 80 percent of the truth. There was actu-ally a top secret military base in Dulce run by the CIA. And, the UFOs were actually experimental atomic-powered “Superstar” aircraft. As for the “cattle mutilations,” the cows were simply being tested all over the planet for radiation. And there you have it!

CHITA QUESTBy Brinn Colenda2014, 276 pages, $14.95Southern Yellow Pine Presswww.syppublishing.com

If you’re a fan of international action thrillers, fasten your seat belt and fly with Brinn Colenda. This artful storyteller and former pilot from Angel Fire retired from the U.S. Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel and had a postgraduate fel-lowship from Stanford. Chita Quest involves two brothers, Colonel Tom Callahan, advisor to the U.S. President, and his estranged younger brother, Brian, a Wall Street financier. They suspect their father might be a Vietnam POW. A photo launches them on a high-ten-sion quest which leads first to North Vietnam, then, traveling incognito, to Mongolia, China, and Siberia. The possible survival of Vietnam POWs triggers international reper-cussions, attempted assassina-tions and threats to the Callahans’ families. But Colenda’s women are intelligent and beautiful, good with children and able to handle a gun. One of the chapters is set in Taos with a high-speed chase on skis. I can’t wait to see the movie!

CONTEMPORARY NATIVE AMERICAN ARTISTSBy Suzanne Deats and photographer Kitty Leaken2012, 184 pages, $50Gibbs Smith Publishing [email protected]

This beautiful hardcover book gath-ers together the colorful creations of 17 highly talented contempo-rary Native Americans who work in pottery, painting, sculpture, jewelry, beadwork, and clothing design. These artists research and perpetuate ancient traditional art and reinterpret it for the modern world. A potent union of modern and traditional art extends cultural values from past to future in what is expressed as “a balance of expe-riencing the tribal life and art in the contemporary world.” Through these colorful, glossy pages, the reader is offered a taste of the art-ists’ lives and invited to cross back and forth between worlds on a bridge of “cultural authenticity.”

In order to earn a ProStart certifi-cate of achievement—ProStart is a two year, nationwide program sponsored by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation that develops high school talent into tomorrow’s res-taurant and foodservice leaders—stu-dents must complete a two-year course which includes 400 hours of mentored workplace experience. “That’s why we opened this restaurant,” Apodaca says.

ProStart and Skills USA—another program helping students in the voca-tional arena—also offer both statewide and national competitions, which the Taos students have been competing in for several years. Breanna Larson won

a gold medal in commercial baking at the 2013 New Mexico State Skills Conference and a 17th-place finish nationally. Brandon Ortiz took gold in 2013 in the New Mexico competition, and Medina won silver in 2012.

Students can earn scholarships to col-lege programs—one former Taos student recently graduated from the Art Institute in Colorado after getting a full-ride scholarship for four years—or simply get a head start on their college career.

There are not many other programs like this one in New Mexico. Several

schools have visited Taos to see if they could duplicate its success, but so far, Apodaca thinks the Taos program is close to being one-of-a-kind. For Taoseños, the program is something

they love. “It is an absolute phenomenon. The kids are excited and they’re learning tremendous skills,” Johnson says

Since the cafe is a school-sponsored business, it does close when the stu-

dents are occupied—but is normally open Thursdays, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; and Apodaca and the students invite all for a visit. Apodaca says, “Come into our kitchen. Come into our world.”

Pure Country YoghurtThe van der Ploeg family of

Clovis, are eighth-gener-ation dairy farmers, and first generation Americans. They are recent arrivals to New Mexico but are steeped in the tradition of agriculture and milk pro-duction that goes back centu-ries, transcending the Atlantic perhaps not unlike agricultural traditions brought to northern New Mexico from the Iberian Peninsula four centuries ago. The van der Ploegs know cows, they know dairy, and they have a growing reputation for high-quality yoghurt.

Family patriarch Andle van der Ploeg says of the family endeavor, “It’s our land, our cows, our passion.” The father of boys Bart, Gerben, Jeroen, and daughter Karla scouted sites across the country to estab-lish a dairy. Among the places he visited were Washington, Texas and Wisconsin, the latter being a place certainly known for its dairy prod-ucts on a near legendary level. But it was the plains of eastern New Mexico which rose to the top like cream for butter that Andle chose to strike out anew.

“Clovis won out,” says Karla. “The dry air, cool evenings, and good water quality were appealing to us. The gentle ground—land not so rocky—is good on the feet of our cows.” By 2003, the move was com-plete and the cows were producing.

As people are apt to do, the van der Ploeg’s essentially brought their dairy name with them. The name, Mid Friesland Dairy, is rooted in the Friesland province of the Netherlands. And the dairy is a family affair. According to Karla, brother Bart and Jeroen manage the dairy opera-tions; Gerben manages the workshop; Jeroen’s wife and Clovis native, Traci Tuttle, developed the container designs and manages the website. And, Karla works with dairy and yoghurt production, distribution and sales. “It’s all our way of being part of the family business; its all our baby too,” says Karla.

But let’s not forget family matriarch Sjierkje van der Ploeg Bierm. It’s mom who is behind the quality yoghurt. “My mom has always made yoghurt,” says Karla. “Our milk goes to producers who sell it as milk or churn it to make ice cream, cheese or butter. But yoghurt is our passion, and it’s made here. There’s nothing added—it’s a pure product—where the whey goes to the top. Our yoghurt is thinner, it’s a different kind of yoghurt. It’s good for dressings, cereals and promotes healthy living.”

Their product, labeled Freanna Original Yoghurt, is named after the Friesland province and Anna, a cow that came into the van der Ploeg family dating back to 1938, includes all of her subsequent descendants. Dutch-style yoghurt differs from Greek variety. “Greek yogurt loses whey, its strained,” says Karla. “With ours, we take nothing out. One gallon of milk makes one gallon of our yoghurt. With Greek yogurt, it takes four gallons of milk to turn out one gallon of yogurt.”

Freanna Original Yoghurt is delicious with cereals, dressings, shakes, and smoothies. It’s available from Santa Fe to Las Cruces and Clovis to Silver City. It comes from 1,800 Holstein cows on the prairie at Clovis. “We’re living the American dream,” says Karla. “We raise all our baby cows, we work with local farmers, buy local feed, and use local labor. Four nearby families work on the farm.”

The yoghurt may be Dutch in origin but it’s true New Mexican. Visit www.freanna.com to learn more about this unique product and a true family farm.
