About the Cover
by Michael Meyer
I shot the cover scene in October of
this year along the Ellis Trail in the Sandia mountains.
In the fall Ellis Trail comes alive with
a spectacular array of yellow aspens.
The trail is a roller coaster walk through
an open meadow that was cleared in
the 1960s for a highway to Placitas, but
was never completed.
The destination that day was the
popular Del Agua Overlook where
the 10k and North Crest Trails meet.
On this particular day the entire west
mountainside was carpeted in yellow
and green aspens, as shown in the picture on the right. Although I was probably a few days early for full color, it was
well worth the three-plus mile hike to
get there, not a problem if you are on
horseback.
The Ellis trailhead is about 12 miles
up the Crest Highway, a short distance
past the 10k trailhead parking lot. Official parking is located on the left, but
there is a dirt road to the right where
Del Agua Overlook close to peak fall color
some people park and the trail begins.
Ellis also goes south to the tram, but the
north route will take you to the Del Agua
Overlook. When you reach the 10k trail
juction, take the 10k left through the
tree covered trail to the crest. If you miss
the juction, you will eventually run into
the Crest Trail that will lead back to the
overlook.
The fall beauty in the East Mountains
is brief. A popular spot to view changing
leaf color is the 4th of July Canyon in the
Manzanos, about 30 miles south on 337.
Since the trees turn about 1-2 weeks
sooner up at the crest, you can experience both. I did.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
If you’re an East Mountain resident, chances are you either own horses or have a neighbor
who does. Overall, we’re a horsey set, with whole
neighborhoods designed to accommodate our
equine companions.
But our area is not only home to domesticated horses and their caretakers, but also to a herd of wild Mustangs descended from animals that
go all the way back to the Spanish Colonial era. Neala Schwartzberg
first learned about these horses last spring while researching another
story for us, and when she told us about the herd and their preserve just
off North 14, we asked her to bring their story to light for this issue. You
can read all about it on page 9.
Just as horses yearn to roam free, so too do many humans. The East
Mountains are home to hundreds of miles of trails perfect for hikers,
mountain bikers, horseback riders, and distance trail runners. Two locals give writer Sonya Ewan the low down on running the trails in and
around the Sandia Mountains and Cedro Peak, and their enthusiasm for
the sport is both informative and infectious. And I don’t just say that
because I’m a long-time trail runner. We are fortunate to live within
minutes of some of the state’s most beautiful wilderness and there’s no
better way to enjoy it than with two feet and a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, if this year’s winter and spring are as dry as last year’s,
that wilderness may once again be in danger of burning up due to low
moisture and high winds. Regular contributor S.J. Ludescher spoke to
several folks out here in the East Mountains working to help educate
residents on how to prepare for just such an emergency.
There are other ways to help preserve the land we call home as
well, including shopping local foodstuffs and implementing alternative
methods of generating energy. Two stories, Ludescher’s piece on locavorism and Beth Meyer’s on solar and wind power, will give you some
ideas on how to do both.
And since this issue comes out right before the holidays, please
check out Kelly Koepke’s informative piece on holiday wine pairings as
suggested by Dan Payne at the Triangle in Cedar Crest. If you’re looking
for more great gift ideas, how about a work of art from Watermelon
Gallery or a custom-crafted hat from George Davis? Both are featured
in this issue. Our Holiday Shopping Guide starting on page 26 features
a comprehensive listing of local retailers, and our Community Listing
of Holiday Events will have you marking your calendars for even more
ways to enjoy the spirit of the season.

Wild Mustangs
of New Mexico
By Neala Schwartzberg
The image of wild horses running
free has long fascinated us. They
seem the icon of unfettered living
and of America’s Wild West. In reality, these Mustangs (the word comes
from the Spanish mesteno, meaning stray, or ownerless) are perhaps
the most endangered horses in the
country. However, there is one man
with a vision who is working with volunteers to save them.
Carlos LoPopolo is the relentless
force behind the New Mexico Horse
making the journey back to North
America as well.
Many experts assert that these
horses faced local extinction in what
is now the United States and that it
was the Spanish who reintroduced
them to New Mexico via the Caribbean up into Mexico and then on into
the Rio Grande valley. Of course, the
Spanish weren’t the only ones who
showed up in the New World with
horses. The French and English explorers and colonists also brought
their own animals from home.

Wild Mustangs at Campbell Ranch
Project. It started, as do many big
quests, with something quite small:
the desire to write an article on
Spanish Colonial horses.
A Bit of Horse History
Experts estimate the possible
origin of the genus Equus (which includes modern horses) at about 3.4
to 3.9 million years ago here in North
America. But these horses didn’t
stay local. They migrated across land
bridges to Asia, Europe, and Africa,
kota/Lakota people, as well as other
Indian nations, assert that the original North American horse did not
become extinct and has in fact been
part of their culture pre-dating any
contact with Europeans. In other
words, they already had horses. That
is until the 19th century, when the
United States government ordered
the horses killed to prevent the reluctant inhabitants of the newly created
reservations from leaving.

Wild horses near Placitas, another wild horse area. The organization Whoa is promoting
legislation to turn this area into a wild horse state park.
Whichever theory is the actuality, one thing is for certain: “Native
peoples adapted quickly to this new
form of transportation,” says Dr.
Paul Polechla, an equine biologist.
“By the 19th century they came to
be so skilled at riding them that they
were known as ‘Lords of the Plains’.”

Either way, there was soon a mélange of horses, both wild and domestic, across the United States,
and over time their genetic heritage
became shuffled more thoroughly
than cards in a poker game. As development surged across the nation,
however, horses became less and
less valued. These wild herds became
a nuisance and started to disappear
from the landscape.
Some people became concerned
over their destruction. The Wild FreeRoaming Horse & Burro Act of 1971
outlawed the capture for slaughter
of wild horses (and burros) and made
the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) responsible for protecting and
managing the wild herds.
That concern didn’t last long.
Ranchers didn’t like wild horses,
open land became housing developments, and wild horses became less
and less an issue of public concern
and more and more a “nuisance.”
Preserving the Herds
In 1999 Carlos LoPopolo embarked on a project to answer the
question: Are Spanish Colonial horses still roaming the lands of New
Mexico? He began working with Dr.
Gus Cothran, director of the Equine
Blood Typing Research Laboratory
at the University of Kentucky, to
run the analyses. “We did a roundup
of 40 wild horses and drew blood
samples,” LoPopolo explains. At the
time, this was the best technique
available.
Only two horses qualified as being
descendants of the Spanish horses,
based on the DNA. Undeterred,
LoPopolo received permission from
one of the pueblos to analyze their
horses. Only 7 of the 150 qualified.
Patiently he rounded up more
and more horses to determine their
heritage. At last count he’d found 167
wild horses of Spanish Colonial origin. Despite the fact that his search
still continues, and that the horses
are reproducing on preserve land,
there are distressingly few remaining.
“We’re losing so many horses,
particularly Mustangs,” LoPopolo laments. “People are selling our wild
horses for meat, and it won’t take
long before they’re eradicated.”
Thus the New Mexico Horse Project (NMHP) not only documents, but
also attempts to save, these Spanish-descended Mustangs and preserve the bloodline of a horse that
goes back thousands of years.
Keeping the Mustang Wild
Describing the Mustang as “one
of the most honest, kindest horses,”
LoPopolo also wants to preserve
their wild and free life. To that end,
he and his volunteers also seek to
educate the public, ranchers in particular, about the importance of the
Mustang to pasture land. “When
you’re growing new pastures, you
need these horses to produce waste
that can turn into fertilizer, and horse
manure actually fosters growth of
new shoots,” says LoPopolo.
Dr. Polechla explains further: “One
of the most common behaviors of
both cows and horses is grazing. But
horses have a different digestive system, mixing seeds with a rich humus.
The grass seeds they ingest become
a fertilized seed packet, making the
horses a long distance seed gardener
of grasses.”
When the NMHP finds a wild
Spanish Mustang, it does not tame
and breed it in the service of creating
a larger, but domesticated, herd. Instead, the Mustang is relocated to a
preserve where it is allowed to roam
free with others of its kind.
There are several places in New
Mexico where the Mustangs can do
this, including Campbell Ranch here
in the East Mountains. The Campbell
Ranch preserve came about in 2001
through an agreement between the
NMHP and Robert Gately, president
of the Campbell Corporation.
While visitors are not allowed onto
Campbell Ranch to directly view the
horses, those traveling the Turquoise
Trail might spot a glimpse of them.
According to Dr. Polechla, the best
places to do so are alongside the
highway through clearings between
Tijeras and Golden.
There may be opportunities for
future up close sightings as well:
LoPopolo is planning to purchase a
ranch in Magdalena and another in
Socorro, both of which will be open
to the public.
To learn more about the New
Mexico Wild Horse Project, log onto
wildhorsesofthewestartgallery.com.
Donations toward fencing and other
expenses may also be made through
the website, or by visiting the Wild
Horses of the West Art Gallery & Socorro Leather at 705-C N California
St. in Socorro. All profits go to support the preserves.
“Mustang means a horse without
an owner,” says LoPopolo. “Once a
Mustang is owned by somebody it’s
no longer a Mustang. Technically, it’s
just a horse.” g

FINE Wine
Take the Mystery
out of Holiday
Wine Pairings
By Kelly Koepke
Dan Payne, liquor manager of Triangle Grocery for a little over a year,
has transformed the store’s excellent
selection of beers, wines, and spirits
into a destination for beer mavens
and oenophiles from miles around.
Already boasting an impressive
background in adult beverages, he
arrived in New Mexico from Las
Vegas, Nevada, four years ago. He
started bartending when he was 19,
and learned to pair and stock libations from jobs in large liquor retail
operations in Arizona and California,
through classes with distributors,
and in his studies at the University of
Nevada Las Vegas.
As with many transplanted New
Mexicans, love brought him to the
Land of Enchantment, where he
found Triangle Grocery in need of
someone with just his skill set.
“I’ve always liked good beer and
wine, and friends told me about Triangle and their selection. Since I’ve
started there, I’ve analyzed the selection we sell, and brought in more
to match our customers’ tastes. Before, a lot of stuff didn’t really move.
Now we carry more boutique wines,
and labels that you won’t find elsewhere,” he says.
Business is doing well. Regularly
scheduled wine and beer tastings
introduce new brands to customers,
and Payne will then stock more of
what people really enjoy. Currently
he’s working with a German distributor to carry Krombacher beers, a
tasting favorite.
As for wines, Payne’s bringing in
harder to find wines like higher end
Spanish selections from Crianza,
12
A few of Dan Payne’s recommendations.
The Stump Jump from Australia, and
Torre di Luna and Santa Margherita
from Italy. “We don’t have a lot of
higher end French yet,” he adds.
“But I’m working on that, too.”
So what does Payne recommend
for upcoming holiday celebrations?
Here are his selections, all reasonably priced at around $25 or under.
Don’t worry about years, he says,
unless a wine is extremely rare or a
reserve. “The way winemakers blend
wines now, rarely are they 100 percent a single grape anyway.”
White/Sweet: J. Lohr Chardonnay
($25) The creaminess in this delicious
white comes from oak barrels, while
retaining a bit of pear flavor. Goes
well with turkey or seafood, or anything that needs a lighter, buttery
flavor that won’t overpower delicate
foods.
White/Dry/New Mexican: Gruet
Chardonnay ($14) Just back after a
year off, this chardonnay is for those
who like more fruit and less butter.
A well-balanced white that pairs
well with anything except red meat.
Crisp, dry, and the essence of the
fine winemaking talents of the Gruet
family.
Red: Rivers Edge Pinot Noir ($21.99)
This very light red with a nice fruit is
brighter than most. Pairs well with
turkey as well as ham and roast beef.
An Oregon wine that ranks among
the best domestic Pinot Noirs available now. Lighter than the Primus
below, this wine is a crowd pleaser.
Blend: Veramonte Primus ($19.99).
This Chilean blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah, merlot, and the littleknown carmenere grape is a heartier
red than pinot with excellent tannins
and fruit flavors. Good for those transitioning from lighter reds to heavier,
and anyone who likes cabernet or
merlot. Great with ham and roast
beef but not turkey or fish.
Dessert/Sweet: Cantine Aurora
Dolce Stilnovo ($18.99) Everyone
who tries this low alcohol wine loves
it. One of the lesser-known Moscatos
and lighter and fruitier than most,
Dolce Stilnovo is hard to find anywhere but Triangle. Fortunately, the

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Hit the Dirt:
Trail Running
in the East
Mountains
By Sonya Ewan
One of the best-kept secrets of
the East Mountain area might be
the quality of trail running options.
The Sandias and the Cedro Peak area
trails, just south of Tijeras, boast
some of the best terrain around,
making a drive to the trailhead well
worth it. Just ask Margaret Welk,
who completed the 2010 Leadville
100 Trail Run last August (27:19, if
you ask).
“I love the Cedro Peak area,” says
Welk. “My friends meet at Zuzax and
we’ll do a 15-mile loop.” Welk uses
Mike Coltrin’s Sandia Mountain Hiking Guide to navigate the Sandias.
“I live below the Ski Area in Sandia
Park, so I’ll hike straight up the hill to
get to the Crest Trail. The 10K Trail is
nice because you can curl to Faulty,
cut down Cienega, and do loops.”
If you’re running on asphalt, women like Welk and Edgewood resident
Kathy Kirsling can explain why you
might want a little dirt under your
feet. For Welk, it’s being pleasantly
surprised by views, new stretches

of trail, and wildlife. “Once you get
out, it’s so easy to forget everything
going on in normal, civilized life,”
she says. “I started as a road runner
and find trail running easier, though
more focused. You’re not checking
your watch. You’re going with the
flow because the terrain is varied.”
Kirsling says trail running wasn’t
a passion until her adult son died
of cancer in 2007. “Trail running is
my sanctuary. There’s a spirituality,
where I feel opened up instead of
closed in,” she says. At 62 years old,
Kirsling continues to improve her
personal best racing times. In October, she raced the Blue Sky Marathon
in Colorado as the only woman in the
60+ age group (finishing in 6:46:27).
East Mountain trails are rugged, with significant altitude gain,
so Kirsling says to experiment with
short distances, “because your shins,
quads, calves, and
hamstrings will be
differently sore.”
Welk suggests patience with your
body: “The things
you thought were
easy, like distance
or speed, might be
more challenging
due to the terrain
or weather.”
Both women list several advantages and few disadvantages of trail
running versus road. Welk says trail
requires more agility, but improvement comes with experience. “You
think, ‘I don’t understand how people can run down rocky, loose trail,’
and six months later, the brain works
around it without thinking about
foot placement.”
Kirsling believes trail is more forgiving than asphalt, with less shock
from the foot strike. “I can’t think of
a disadvantage, unless people don’t
like rocks or being in non-populated
places. Or if you slipped and fell and
broke something,” she says. Welk
suggests, “You have to be positioned
to help yourself,” and to tell a friend
when and where you’re going.
Carrying a water system is critical. Kirsling also suggests keeping
a snack in the car for after your run.
And while most of the gear needed
for trail is similar to road, she cautions against listening to music. “You
have to be aware
. . . and also listen—what kind of
critters might be
around?
Rattlesnakes, coyotes,
bears, mountain
lions?”
Trail shoes are
designed
with
deeper tread for
better traction on rougher terrain,
while gaiters cover the tops of shoes
to prevent pesky debris from working its way in. Kirsling’s low-tech gaiter option is the sleeves from a longsleeved T-shirt, wearing the cuff at
the low end of the calf. Welk gets
$19, high-tech gaiters from dirtygirlgaiters.com, and carries a garbage
bag in case of inclement weather.
In general, trail etiquette for running is similar to that for mountain
biking and hiking. Welk’s pet peeve
is litter. Of four-legged companions,
she says, “Most people have really
well-behaved dogs. Some people are
nervous though, so make sure your
“Trail running is my
sanctuary. There’s
a spirituality, where
I feel opened up
instead of closed in.”

So
you’re
intrigued, but
need a challenge? The East
Mountains’
first-ever distance trail run,
the Cedro Peak
Ultramarathon 45 (cpu45.org), will
be held Saturday, April 7, 2012. The
45-mile run is 100-percent Cibola
National Forest trail, with a 45K (28
miles) option as well. Open registration is $45 ($55 after Dec. 1) with proceeds going to the Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network. Race Director Jim
Breyfogle says he expects 50 to 100
runners for the race, which starts and
finishes at the Oak Flat Group picnic
area, traverses the Cedro Peak trails,
and summits Cedro
Peak itself.
Preand
post-race
food will be
provided.
The race is
organized
and staffed
entirely by
volunteers,
many of them members of the Albuquerque Road Runners. Their
website, aroadrun.org, is a valuable
resource for group runs, races, and
contacts.
Now that you’re in the know,
when you find yourself testing the
trails and cross the path of Kirsling or
Welk, be sure to say hello. Says Welk,
“Check it out and keep an open mind.
We want everyone to like it.”

Turquoise Tales
The Murder of
Carl Taylor
by Mike Smith
It was cold up in the mountains,
and there was snow on the ground.
It was February 5, 1936. A roughly
paved highway wound from the San-
Modesto Trujillo with Sheriff Ross Salazar who
apprehended him.
dia Mountains’ southern end, north
and up, into high, wooded desert villages—Tijeras, Ranchitos, San Antonio—and met with a then-unnamed
dirt road that veered west into sloping hills.
The unnamed road cut a path between poplars and cottonwoods,
hills and arroyos, junipers and elms.
On the right, to the north, several
hundred yards up the nameless
road, stood two small buildings—one
made of mud, and a smaller one just
in front of it, made of wood, with a
stone chimney. It was just around
eight o’clock, and dark out. Light
shone from a window of the wooden
cabin, and smoke climbed from its
chimney.
Then, without warning, a gunshot exploded over the hills, muffled
only slightly by the cabin’s walls. A
long moment passed, another shot
sounded, and another, and the night
rang with silence. The cabin’s back
door soon opened and a dark figure
slipped out, its footsteps crunching
in the snow as it hurried into shadows.
***
The cabin sat just inside the
northern perimeter of the village of
San Antonio. Its renter was a journalist named Carl Taylor. The retreating figure was a 15-year-old boy,
Modesto Trujillo, who lived in the
house just above the cabin.
Trujillo made his way home
through the darkness, and entered
his house to find his mother holding
his baby brother. In Spanish, he told
his mother what had just happened.
According to Trujillo, Carl Taylor—
who had hired Trujillo to do his chores
and run his errands—had been sitting near the fireplace, reading, with
Trujillo nearby. Suddenly, the front
door opened, and two men strode in.
The men’s faces were hidden behind
white rags; one man pointed a gun at
Taylor. Taylor leapt up from his chair.
Trujillo began backing away, toward
the rear of the cabin. The gunman
fired at Taylor’s head, and before
Taylor could even fall to the ground,
Trujillo escaped into the kitchen. As
a second shot sounded behind him,
Trujillo ran out the kitchen door and
headed home. To the Albuquerque
Journal later that night, Trujillo said,
“I went home and told my mamma
what happened. My mamma got
scared. She cried.”
The story made national headlines for weeks, and soon became
a sensational movie, primarily because of what Taylor had been writing about. Taylor had come to the
Sandias to research a feature for Today magazine—a piece about New
Mexico’s Penitentes, a then-unofficial Catholic sect. The Penitentes
believed in making amends for their
sins through physical suffering—suffering which included whipping one’s
self with whips, throwing one’s self
onto beds of cactus, dragging heavy
chains along the ground, wearing
crowns of thorns, and even, if chosen for the honor, hanging upon a
wooden cross.
In 1936 perhaps as many as 10,000
Penitentes lived in the American
Southwest, and many of those lived
in San Antonio. A low hillside at the
town’s northern end was the site of
one of the area’s only moradas—the
exclusive, adobe chapels in which
the Brotherhood met to worship,
and from which they began their
processions. Many local farmers and
woodcutters were Penitentes, and
Taylor had evidently managed to befriend—or bribe or deceive—them,
because the day before his murder,
he had reportedly been granted entrance to the morada with Modesto

Trujillo. And, he had brought a camera.
To his literary agent, Taylor wrote:
“I have just finished taking about
two dozen pictures of a Penitente
morada (temple of worship) and various pictures of crosses in the hills.
If I haven’t forgotten how to use a
camera, some of these should be excellent. Last night I made 3 flashlight
exposures within a Morada—something I don’t think has ever been
done before. I’m praying over those,
for there will never be a chance to repeat the performance.”
As the Albuquerque Journal drily
reported on February 6, 1936: “Penitentes ordinarily do not permit uninitiates to enter their moradas, much
less to photograph them.”
Trujillo’s story, however, did not
withstand scrutiny. Taylor’s body
had blocked the cabin’s front door,
ruling out the possibility of people
in the doorway. The gun was traced
to Trujillo, who had a reputation for
petty theft and for a troubled, violent nature. And before long Trujillo
had confessed, claiming the murder
had not been done by Penitentes,
but was part of a simple robbery.
Still, suspicions remained. Trujillo’s grandfather and father were
Penitentes. The Penitentes’ hermano mayor, or spiritual leader, was a
close family friend. The police report
called Trujillo a Penitente. And Taylor had written that, “The boy who
chops wood for me, and who, I think,
secretly cherishes an ambition some
day to be elected the village Cristo
and hang upon a cross, is immensely
proud of his shiny new bicycle.”
***
As the world talked of masked
men and motives, Trujillo’s mother
sat at home and cried. “She is prostrated, apparently unable to comprehend the tragedy that has descended upon her little household,”
reported the Albuquerque Tribune.
Trujillo’s father came home from
herding sheep near the slopes of
Mount Taylor, at his wife’s request.
Trujillo himself sat in his cell, awaiting a trial that would soon result in
the story’s second major tragedy:
the bulk of a life spent growing old
behind bars. In the end, his motives
were irrelevant: he had killed, and
now the law would dictate his future.
During his jail time before the trial, Trujillo would sit and stare at the
wall, work crafting a beaded belt,
or play with the Spanish words of a
song he was writing to an old tune.
He had begun writing the song before the murder, in the mountains,
but now, the song had changed.
“If you want to know who I am,
Just ask the jailer.
I am Modesto Trujillo,
Who has just come from San Antonio.”

Be Prepared for
Fire Season
By S. J. Ludescher
The sizzling temperatures and
dry, brittleness of summer have
passed. Cooler, snow-filled mornings
give us pause and a sigh of relief that
another year of fire danger and other
nature-related
emergencies
are no longer
a
concern—
at least for a
while. But the
truth is, this is
the best time
of year to prepare for next
spring
and
summer when
Mother
Nature may once
again threaten.
In the event of an East Mountain
emergency, there won’t be any loud
blasts or siren alerts, says John Helmich, community outreach coordinator for the East Mountain Interagency Fire Protection Association
(EMIFPA). Instead, he says, “The best
and most reliable information will
be on the local television and radio
bands.”
To stay tuned in the event of
a power outage, make sure your
household has at least one battery
operated emergency radio that tunes
into both AM/FM and two shortwave
bands.
Established in 1989 after a large
fire threatened the area, the EMIFPA
trains residents and homeowner associations in emergency preparedness and risk reduction. Through
workshops, seminars, and other
training, EMIFPA meets with local
groups to discuss such issues
as evacuation
planning, defensible space,
and other proactive
measures that may
help to protect
lives and property.
While
the
Forest Service
has
jurisdiction only over public lands, our local
sheriff will be the ultimate authority
regarding evacuations via collaboration with the Red Cross. That plan will
depend largely on where the danger
is and, in the case of fire, which direction it’s spreading.
A large concern for East Mountain
residents is what to do with livestock
and large animals in the event of an
evacuation. According to Elizabeth
Marchetti, retired sheriff and organizer of the East Mountains’ Com-

munity Emergency Response Team
(CERT), an all volunteer organization
that teaches residents emergency
preparedness, the single best and
most effective way to move large animals is with a neighborhood or community phone tree. “Plan now before
summer,” she says. “Create a phone
tree; keep it up-to-date and practice,
practice, practice.”
And because you may not know
until it’s too late which direction the
danger will be in, she also advises
to “always have a place in each direction—north, south, east, and
west—where your animals can be
taken. Make sure everyone knows
how many and what kind of animals
would need to be rescued at your
home and if there are any disabled
residents as well.”
Find out which big ranches in
the area can accommodate horses
or cattle, who is capable of hauling
large numbers of animals quickly,
and contract with both of them in
advance.
For smaller pets, Marchetti suggests making arrangements in advance with a veterinarian or pet
boarding facility. If it looks like an
evacuation is on the horizon, she
suggests crating cats immediately.
“They’re impossible to catch when
they’re scared.”
In addition, CERT offers intensive
training classes each spring. Says
Vicki Voyles, the East Mountain’s
CERT coordinator: “We teach more
than just handling animals. We teach
ordinary people how to take care
of themselves for the first 72 hours
when rescue teams may not be on
the scene yet. Usually, experts are
not the first on the scene—in the
case of an accident or other type
of incident, residents are the first
responders.”
The course covers search and rescue techniques, triage, and first aid,
and can also qualify graduates to be
part of the New Mexico database for
search and rescue work.

Give the Gift of
Massage
By Jeanne Drennan
Moving at the speed of light seems
to have become an art form in this
age of instant gratification, endless to-do lists, and multi-tasking.
Many people are overworked, overcommitted, over-tired, and just plain
worn out. Seldom, if ever, do we take
the time to slow down and take care
of ourselves.
With the busy holiday season upon
us, there’s no time like the present to
slow down, rest, and rejuvenate. To
that end, why not treat yourself or
someone close to you to the gift of
health—a massage! Once thought to
be an extravagance reserved for the
spa, massage has become, for many,
an integral part of their overall wellness program.
Therapeutic touch is beneficial on
so many levels and is essential to a
balanced, healthy life. Each area of
bodywork is unique and may focus on
areas such as structure, musculature,
fascia, energy, and/or balance. It’s
important to find a practitioner with
whom you feel comfortable, and a
style that is appropriate for you.
Massage and other natural therapies, like those offered at Body Dynamics Studio in Cedar Crest, are
designed to release blockages, bring
more awareness to the breath and
body, lessen pain, improve health,
and harmonize the body’s own
natural healing processes. The benefits of massage are numerous and
include stress and tension reduction, increased circulation and oxygenation, excretion of toxins, relief
from chronic pain patterns, and a
strengthened immune system. The
types of massage are plentiful as
well, ranging from deep tissue and
Swedish massage to medical, sports,
and pregnancy massage.
Anytime is a great time for a massage, and, as Lee Ann Lajoie, owner
of Body, Mind and Spirit in Cedar
Crest says, “this is the perfect time
of year to experience a massage—it
offers a reset point for your body
physically and emotionally.” Lee Ann
says that massage should always be
relaxing and it should never hurt. It
should be a pleasurable experience
that leaves you feeling better than
before your massage.

Regular massage allows your body
to maintain homeostasis by not engaging the stress hormones, thus improving your overall health. Roughly
80 percent of massage clients seek
out their first massage because of an
injury. They continue coming, however, because of the calmness and
relaxation they receive from the sessions. Most massage therapists suggest getting a massage at least once
a month. With costs for a one-hour
treatment running $60-$80, it’s truly
an invaluable investment in one’s
health and well-being. Sonya Cooper, owner of End of the Rainbow
Massage in Edgewood, urges people
to obligate themselves to that time
to slow down and receive the massage.
Some therapists use essential oils
as a part of the massage experience
to promote emotional and physical
health; others, like Sonya Cooper,
will use steam towels on the hands
and feet and warm stones along the
spinal muscles to further increase
relaxation. If the client has a specific
need that calls for a specialty modality such as myofascial release, cranial
sacral therapy, or trigger point, for
example, those treatments can be
incorporated into a massage session.
The primary intention for the
therapist is the safety and comfort
of the client in the massage environment. Lee Ann Lajoie ensures that
her clients are modestly covered at
all times and stresses “safety with no
agenda.” It’s all about how the therapist can best serve the client.
Cassie Christensen says her goal
at 4 Essential Balance is to help her
clients feel better when they are at
home and work. As part of her practice, she identifies what might be
causing their pain, and provides long
term solutions which can include
massage therapy, stretching, Thermotherapy, heat packs, Cryotherapy,
cold packs, and even self-massage
techniques.

Fashion Forward
By Jenn Rigo Anderson
Long the mantra of those concerned with lowering their impact on
the environment, “reduce, reuse, recycle” can also help stretch a dollar,
especially when it comes to shopping for clothing.
To save money in today’s tight
economy, some shoppers buy low
quality clothing at discount chains.
Others drop hundreds of dollars on
a minimal amount of high quality
duds. But fashion conscious frugal
shoppers know the best way to dress
well without spending a lot of money is to buy from thrift and consignment stores.
Here in the East
Mountains,
these
shoppers make regular
stops for great deals
at the Salvation Army
Thrift Shop and Marilyn’s Clothes Closet,
both of which feature
quality name brand
clothing—sometimes
even with the original
price tags—for practically nothing.
A pleasant, neat,
and organized consignment store, Marilyn’s Clothes Closet is
an offshoot of owner
Marilyn Stundon’s love of “looking
for treasures, especially clothes,
at garage sales and thrift shops for
Marilyn outside her Edgewood Store
friends and relatives.” Eventually
that led to a space at an indoor flea
market and ultimately to her shop in
Edgewood. “I really wanted to bring
good clothing at really reasonable
prices to the women up here.” True to
Inside Marilyn’s Clothes Closet
the shop’s slogan, “quality clothing
at flea market prices,” brand names
range from Sears to Kohl’s, Eddie
Bauer to Chico’s, all steam-cleaned
and in practically new condition.
Jaime Kurz enthusiastically heads
up Edgewood’s Salvation Army with
creative displays and sales. Some
brands found there include Apostrophe, Bebe, Anne Klein, Anne Taylor
Loft, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein,
Old Navy, and Gap, plus teen classics like American Eagle, Hollister,
and Aeropostale. Bargains always
abound, but when Jaime has a sale,
it’s not unusual to find, say, a linen
Banana Republic skirt, Banana Republic silk cardigan, a.n.a.® jeans,
or Nine West boots for a quarter to a
dollar each.
Prior to working at the Salvation
Army, Jaime earned her living in
corporate America. Disillusioned by
what she calls its mentality of greed,
she decided she wanted something different for herself and her
family. “I gave up a very
large paycheck and in
return got something
far greater—the ability
to help people all day,
every day.”
Helping those who
are low income or on
a tight budget is especially gratifying. Jaime
recounts the tale of a
homeless man looking for a job: “At the
average retail shop, his
small amount of cash
would be pathetic; but at a thrift
store, he can buy a suit with ease
and, on most occasions, even have

Nightlife in the
East Mountains
By Rena Distasio
Say the word “nightlife” to any
East Mountain resident and they’re
likely to fix you with a puzzled look
before replying, “You mean that
raccoon that’s been getting into my
compost pile?” Still, if you do get
out and about every once in a while,
you know that our community is not
without options for some after hours
fun. Here are a few area hot spots
that consistently serve up good food,
good libations, and good music:

club” membership scores you great
discounts, and you can even pre-purchase a drink for a friend, whose tally
is noted on a large dry erase board by
the bar. Hours are Sundays through
Thursdays 11am–9pm, 11am-11pm
on Fridays and Saturdays, with live
music by local bands every Friday
and Saturday from 7–10pm.

Davis Hats

By E.H. Hackney
“When I told my father-in-law that
I wanted to make hats, he thought

It was not the last time George
Davis would hear that.
After all, George had a “sensible”
degree (he’s a trained accountant),
and 30-plus years ago he was working a secure job for the State of
New Mexico. But he’d been thinking, “What can I go into that I would
like—really like—that would be more
creative and that I could make a living at?”
George Davis explains the process of ironing and subsequent shaping of the hat.
Near that time he had his favorite
hat cleaned. It had to be sent out of ria’s family back east (he forgave her equipment. After learning what he

George ran his hat business in Albuquerque until 1996, when he and

When not making hats, George
breeds and trains Azteca horses, a
mix of the Spanish and Portuguese
Andalusians, with their proud, exotic
looks and strong bones and hooves,
and the intelligent, agile, and tough

light weight.
Each hat begins with a crude,
pre-made body crafted in a specific
color, brim width, crown height, and
type of felt. The hat is then ironed
and pressed into the customer’s size
and shape, further compacting the
fibers and reducing the thickness by
nearly a half. Blocks are used to set
the size, basic shape, and the height
of the crown, but the final shape of
the brim and style of the crown are
hand sculpted. After the final shape
is obtained, the lining and sweatband, with the customer’s name, are
sewn in and the hatband is added.

Eating Mindfully
By S. J. Ludescher
In the not-so-distant past, it
seemed the only people who cared or
even thought about where their food
came from were either elite chefs or
so-called hippies. Nowadays, those
two disparate groups have blended
with others into a full-blown movement known as “locavorism.”
Locavores are people who pay attention to where their food comes
from and commit to eating locallygrown or produced products as much
as possible. They do so for a variety
of reasons, whether aesthetic (locally grown food tends to be fresher and more flavorful), economic
(keeping dollars in the community),
or environmental (eating locally is
less impactful on the environment
and decreases the chances for contaminated food and bio-terrorism).
Economics is also a powerful factor. According to a study by the New
Economics Foundation in England, a
dollar spent locally generates twice
as much income for the local economy. When businesses are not owned
locally, money leaves the community with every transaction. Out here
in the East Mountains, locally owned
and operated businesses like South
Mountain Dairy in Edgewood and
Triangle Grocery in Cedar Crest employ and serve residents who might
otherwise drive into Albuquerque or
Santa Fe to work or buy groceries.
And don’t think that eating local is
an all-or-nothing venture. According
to most advocates, any small change
helps the environment and protects
your family’s health. A good place
to start is by trying to eat within a
100-mile radius of home and then
adjust where necessary, sometimes
encompassing an area as large as an
entire state or region. The important

thing is that by creating a boundary,
no matter how large, you become
conscious of the origin of your food.
Shopping farmers’ markets for
produce and foodstuffs, joining a
Community Sponsored Agricultural
program (farmersmarketsnm.org),
and buying locally produced meat,
eggs, and dairy (eatwild.com/products/newmexico.html) are just a few
ways to start. Once the harvest season is over, you can preserve, dry, or

freeze your produce and meat; patronize restaurants that source locally; and shop small, local stores rather
than Big Box chains.
The Triangle Grocery in Cedar
Crest, for instance, offers an impressive variety of New Mexican wine
and beers, produce, and foodstuffs.
“We’re local so we try to cater to a
local clientele,” says owner Rita Liebling. “I offer as many local items as
I possibly can and support our residents.” Even if that means personally picking up corn, eggs, or other
produce from local suppliers. And
the Triangle is the area’s best source
for New Mexico’s most popular crop:
green chile. “We roast enough so
that we can offer frozen local green
chile all year long,” says Liebling.
The Triangle is also the only East
Mountain locale where you can stock
up on goat cheese and dairy products from South Mountain Dairy,
although several area restaurants
also use their products. (In Albuquerque, look for South Mountain at all
La Montanita Co Op locations.) Although, co-owner Marge Petersen
prefers to sell the bulk of their cheese
and dairy products at farmer’s markets and other direct-to-consumer
venues. “The reality is,” she explains,
“that we are so small, we don’t generate enough volume to be able to
make a profit selling wholesale.”
Craig Noorlander, an Edgewood
beekeeper, echo her sentiments. His
honey products are often gathered
the same day they’re sold to customers, but they are only available in
select farmer’s markets. In addition,
Greenside Café in Cedar Crest and
the Lazy Lizard in Sandia Park both
feature New Mexican foods and beverages and use local produce in their
recipes.

Here in New Mexico, wind is a
free—and abundant—resource. Just
as in solar, the development of new
technologies is making wind power
less expensive and more efficient. As
the debate over the pros and cons of
wind power continues, the market
for small residential wind turbines
is growing. Most of the negative
aspects of wind energy centers on
massive wind farms, which may have
hundreds of turbines over 200 feet
tall working in conjunction with each
other. By contrast, a small residential wind turbine in New Mexico only
needs to be tall enough to clear any
nearby structure by 10 feet in the rare
case of it falling. Another concern is
that rotating blades can hit migrating birds, however, there are no recorded bird deaths by a residential
wind turbine, according to Michael
Spiller of Sunsmiths Ltd. Company.
Spiller is a local installer of Skys-
tream personal wind turbines, which
have the energy potential of up to
400 KWH per month. He says Skystream has designed an innovative
turbine that has very few mechanical
problems because of its simplicity. A
residential wind turbine only emits a
low “swoshing” sound compared to
the noise from a wind farm that can
sound much like a jet plane.
Tim and Frances Keefe of Edgewood say they are very pleased with
their turbine installed by Spiller,
which they use for powering all of
their appliances, as well as electric
baseboard heaters throughout their
home. Tim says their turbine sometimes produces more electricity than
they actually use, but it varies depending upon the day. They are gridtied and receive about 13 cents per
KWH through Central NM Co-Op for
any extra electricity they produce.
Wind turbines qualify for a 30 per-

cent federal tax rebate and can also
be monitored with software. The biggest downside again appears to be
the initial cost, although Spiller estimates that the turbine will pay for
itself in about ten years.
Then there are the brave pioneers
who choose to live “off the grid” because of their desire for a fully sustainable, green, and independent
lifestyle, or whose property is too
far away from existing power lines
to make utility power an option. Pat
Druzda of San Pedro falls into this
category. He says it was an easy decision for him because of the location
of his home. Druzda says all of his
neighbors use solar power as well,
since there are no utility lines in the
area. He typically retains three days
of back-up power stored in batteries
and doesn’t require a lot of electricity since his house is small and his
lifestyle is simple—although he does
enjoy his LCD television. Karen and
Andy Hollander of Edgewood are
planning to build a completely selfsustaining home on their 20 acres.
They value their privacy and share a
desire to make a personal contribution toward protecting the fragile environment. Their priorities are similar
to Spiller’s, who says, “If we don’t
worry about the environment, the
economy won’t matter.”
The economy has had a very discernable impact on the number of
people choosing to convert to renewable energy in the East Mountains in the last few years. Some
families spend as much as 15 percent
of their income to power and heat
their homes. For those considering a
switch to renewable energy, experts
advise becoming well informed.
Have an energy audit on your home,
find out how long the manufacturer
has been in business, if there is a warranty, and if the installer has good
references. The North American
Board of Certified Energy Practitio-
MORIARTY
Auto Supply
ners offers certification. There are
excellent installers who are not certified, but unfortunately, there are
also those who are not competent.

and state tax incentives, rebates,

Watermelon
Fine Art Gallery
by Kelly Koepke
On the first Saturday of each
month, art aficionados and collectors gather for the latest exhibition
of photographs, painting, watercolors, tapestry, multi-media, or sculpture at The Watermelon Gallery.
Tucked behind Cedar Crest Fitness,
the gallery is making a name for itself
among those who appreciate fine art
in all its mediums.
Owner and curator Terry Breedlove opened the gallery in the fall of
2010. His goal is to bring together
works from some 30 artists, many
local to the East Mountains and all
living in New Mexico, in a location
that celebrates the quality of their
endeavors.
“Galleries and artists have a responsibility to educate the next generation of art buyers and collectors,”
he says. “Because art and language
are all that survive and are left behind of a civilization. Our schools
aren’t educating the next generation
of art appreciators, so we have to.”
42
To serve this goal, when Breedlove schedules his monthly rotation
of featured artists, he includes a
“process board” in the display that
captures the artist’s steps for com-
thewatermelongallery.com, so that
viewers can learn more.
A 3-D animator at Sandia Laboratories, Breedlove has always been
interested in creativity, though his
“livings,” as he calls them, have included Los Angeles police officer, art
department director, and retailer. He
moved to the East Mountains with
wife Judy, owner of Cedar Crest Fitness, 19 years ago. “I’d had my fill of
Los Angeles, and my family had lived
in Albuquerque when I was a boy. We
visited the East Mountains and decided that’s where we wanted to be.”
A proponent of customer service,
Terry has definite opinions on how to
run a retail operation that specializes
in fine art. “Customer service is key,
as is contributing to the community.
It’s our goal at the gallery to evolve
into a truly high-end establishment
respected in the community and by
serious collectors from elsewhere.
The Watermelon Gallery is making a name for itself among those who appreciate fine art.
pleting a work. There are often informational discussions led by the
artist, too. In addition, each artist
has a page on the gallery’s website,
We need to appeal to out of state
visitors to make ourselves a destination and get reciprocal agreements
with other galleries to show and sell
our artists.”
One of the gallery’s upcoming
shows (Jan. 7–Feb.3, 2012) is the
photography of East Mountain resident Butch Chesterfield. A former
Navy Seal who served in the Vietnam
War, Chesterfield was trained to photograph missions of the elite service
team. He has continued his fine art
photography, and the exhibition will
include photos of Seal Team missions
and members from his time in the
military, many of which have never
before been seen in public.
The Watermelon Gallery is located
at 12220 North Highway 14 in Cedar
Crest. Open Fridays noon to 6pm,
Saturdays 1 to 7pm, and Sundays
noon to 6pm. Call 286-2164, or visit
thewatermelongallery.com. hg
Workshop classroom
One of the ways The Watermelon
Gallery is making a name for itself
among fine art collectors is by representing the museum quality work
of artists like Curtiss Thorpe, John
Lytton, and Heather Gallegos-Rex,
among others. Thorpe is a multiple
winner in the 2011 New Mexico State
Fair’s Fine Art division for his extraordinarily detailed etchings of landscapes and wildlife.
