Roswell celebrates Veterans Day Honoring Veterans and especially Korean Veterans.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor oswell has a strong connection to the military. Being home to the former Walker Air Force Base many Air Force members retired in Roswell. A new generation of veterans are returning or moving to Roswell after their military service in the U.S. and overseas. You find almost every family in Roswell is connected in one way or another to a veteran, some having paid the ultimate price for the freedom we can enjoy. This year is also the 50th anniversary of the official beginning of the Vietnam War, when the Marines arrived in Da Nang, Vietnam on March 8, 1965. It is an anniversary with controversial opinions, just as the war itself. In 1965 thousands of American

military experts were already in Vietnam as advisors. This year Roswell’s veterans parade has the theme “Our Korean Veterans.” The Korean War is often called the forgotten war. Veteran Spencer Titley from the United States Army recalls, “I know no great novel written about it. And there is no poetry written. No songs. Nothing on the culture side marks the passage of Korea. It was basically over and done with and forgotten” (Unforgettable: The Korean War, PBS). In the 1994 version of its annual publication, Service and casualties in major wars and conflicts, the Pentagon put Korean War battle deaths at 33,652 and other deaths (meaning deaths in the war zone from illness, accidents and other non-battle

causes) at 3,262. That yields a total of 36,914. More than 7,800 American soldiers are still unaccounted for from the Korean War. It is time to remember. On Saturday, Nov. 7, in conjunction with the Veteran’s Parade, the New Mexico Military Institute Reserve Officer’s Training Corps’ Garrey Owen Squadron will host a commemorative 5K run — the B.R.A.V.E. “Bring Remembrance to All Veterans Everywhere.” NMMI ROTC Garry Owen Squadron would like to invite all in the community to honor those veterans in Chaves county who are currently serving and those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces with this race. Proceeds of the race will benefit the American Legion Operation Wounded Warrior pro-

Sunday, Nov. 15, from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. The history of pottery in New Mexico goes back to 300 A.D. The Pecos Valley’s early pottery came from the mysterious Anasazi culture and in the early first millennium from the Mogollon. The classic Mimbres Mogollon phase pottery is particularly famous and still influences many modern artists. Clay of New Mexico is rich and versatile. It is the foundation for adobe homes, made as tiles and colored in every shade of the rainbow to adorn walls or floors and serve as bowls and cups. Artists are diverse and that goes also for potters. There are those who play with cutting-edge modern designs and order clay online, others are working with the clay just as their ancestors did, even harvesting their clay themselves. Pristine pueblo clay sites are a bestkept family secret. The clay throwing tradition continues at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell with their pottery classes that teach future artists and connect them with the land and rich history of New Mexico. The Pecos Valley Potters’ Guild invites artists to submit their work for inclusion in this year’s juried art sale. Applications are available at

Turner made the movie available to the Roswell Daily Record’s Vision editor for review before the premiere. The script is written in a fast-paced style with a very witty and entertaining dialogue. The story starts with Karen, who is an author in New York City dragging her daughter against her will to the ranch of her estranged father who had suddenly passed away. While the mother is trying to straighten out the debts and

12 / V i s i o n M a g a z i n e | Thursday, November 5, 2015

the unorganized paperwork of the local elderly judge, her daughter Juliet explores the grounds for any access to her lifeline (cellphone) to New York City and the friends she has left behind. A hilarious exchange between mother and daughter is an example of the humor. Juliet: “Mom, what is that smell?” Mom: “That would be fresh air.” It reminded me of the first time I smelled fresh fertilized fields around Roswell. While it dawns on the mother that not only the ranch is in a financial crisis, but that her father promised part of the ranch to her ex-fiancé Hugh, whom she had left for the big city life as a young woman. A battle of wits for the land starts, interwoven with the love that still sparks between them. Meanwhile, Juliet finds out her phone is worthless, but she gets soon distracted with new friends: her late grandfather’s horse Rodeo and Nan, who has a stable nearby. Juliet falls in love with the horse but also with

a cute cowboy, Monty, who happens to be the nephew of her mom’s ex-fiancé. Is he only interested in Juliet to spy for his uncle or is he falling for her too? With the ranch doomed to be sold, Juliet’s new friends conspire to secretly teach Juliet to become a barrel racer and win the $5,000 reward at the annual barrel race competition. This might be the only chance for Juliet to keep at least the horse, even if the ranch has to be sold. Karen is played by cat-eyed actress Krista Allen. Allen is best known for “Anger Management” with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, her substantial roles in “Dirty Sexy Money,” and “The L.A. Complex” and her appearance in the TV show “Castle”. Hugh is played by the eclectic and very busy award winning actor Tim Abell. He has nine movies coming out and four planned next year. Abell can switch fr o m ch a rm in g co w boy to knights templar with the ease of a gifted

actor. He is known for his parts in blockbuster movies as Mel Gibson’s “We Were Soldiers”, “Clubhouse” and his role as Sheriff Hayes in the TV series “Sons of Anarchy.” The chemistry between Abell and Allen is amazing and really carries this movie as much as the young actors do. The lead role of Juliet is played by Nadine Crocker. She is an actress, model, writer, singer and songwriter. Recently, she performed as Lindsay Silver on ABC’s “No Ordinary Family,” “Kicking’ with Hannah Montana” on Disney channel and as Lexi in “10 Things I Hate About You.” Juliet’s love interest is played by a relatively unknown and fresh actor. Monty is played by 25-year-old Texan actor and producer Zeb Halsell. He is known for indie productions as “Robin & Chase,” “Gutter King” (screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010) and “Strange Love.” His performance as Monty will melt any young girl’s heart, with see Movies on page 14

Culture

Preparing for the future Roswell Boys and Girls Club celebrates its 50th anniversary. By Christina Stock Vision Editor n a time where juveniles are at double the risk of becoming criminals, with nearly 1.1 million delinquency cases in the U.S. reported to the National Juvenile Court Data Archive of 2013, it is for child psychiatrists obvious that to prevent children growing up to become hardened criminals, the environment of the child has to be changed. That is easier said than done. Especially in New Mexico, where according to the latest census of the National Center for Children in Poverty, in 2013 54 percent (52,053) of young children in low-income families live with a single parent, and 5 percent (4,525) of young

low-income children live in families with no parent present. While politicians and leaders are trying to find ways to help those children, one Roswell organization is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary of providing a healthy and safe environment for children. The Roswell Boys and Girls Club has changed the lives of many kids for the better by giving them a place to play, do their homework and make lifelong friends. For this special occasion the RBGC invites the public to celebrate their anniversary together with their third annual free Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. at the RBGC Gym, 201 S. Garden

Ave. “The food and turkeys are donated by local companies,” said unit director Jaynan McKelvey. “Volunteers and a local restaurant are preparing it.” The Roswell Boys and Girls Club helps children between the ages of 6 and 18 develop physically and socially through a variety of professionally planned and supervised activities. The afterschool program includes individual and group athletics, a game room, arts and crafts, a library, tutoring, camping and special events. RBGC was founded in 1965 with guidance of Poe Corn and the founding board members: Richard Bean, Anise Bel-

lamah, Bob Chewning, Dick Davidson, Remo Franchini, Tony Garcia, Jim Lilley, Jay Riley, Randall Ryde, Travis Townsend, Dr. Howard Smith and John Sudderth. In 2009, things didn’t look good for the club. There were no funds and the club was on the brink of closure. Help came from Denzel Washington who was filming “The Book of Eli” in Albuquerque. Washington was a member of the Boys and Girls Club in his hometown Mount Vernon, New York and later became their spokesperson. When he heard about the club’s struggle, he donated $50,000 to the RBGC. Washington also challenged Roswell’s citizens to match his donation. Art Garcia had just moved to Roswell to take over as program director at the RBGC. His grandfather Tony Garcia had been one of the founding board members. With Washington’s donation and the help of the community, the RBGC is now thriving. “The community has helped to keep us relevant for 50 years,” said Garcia. “Thank you for investing in our future.” Garcia said that children come to RBGC from all walks of life. He is especially passionate about the children who are living in difficult circumstances, some raised by grandparents, some are CASA kids and some would be latch-key kids if they couldn’t come to the RBGC. “Without the Boys and Girls Club,” said Garcia, “these kids w o u l d g r o w u p w i th only TV and computer influence and on the streets. We need to get

them off the streets.” We see now the fruits of our labor,” said Garcia. The first generation that Garcia and McKelvey helped are now in high school. They are returning to the RBGC and are becoming role models for the younger ones. To encourage the kids in a positive environment, RBGC has a youth of the month program. Flavio Chacon of the RBGC explains, “We see how much a kid improves. How it follows rules, acknowledges what it takes to become part of the group. All information is gathered and when it shows that a child improved after a month, it gets chosen as youth of the month.” Chacon said that it sometimes surprises him, how much a kid improves. “I had met an 8-year-old who had just joined the club. I had to skip a year volunteering and when I came back, I was surprised about her improvement. She was much more open, joined the dance class and listens now. She is helpful on her own. When she comes in, she does her homework without being asked to.” One of the many programs the RBGC offers is called the power

hour. “We want the kids to be better at school,” McKelvey said. “We practice with them, teach them penmanship. The power hour is for educational homework, reading practice, thank you letters, math. We train hand/eye coordination and help the kids to get faster in reading and spelling.” “We help the children to break through barriers,” said Garcia. “They get challenged and we teach them different ways. Depending on the child we have individual teaching. The kids get excited and learn what they can do. That gives them confidence. “ The next community project the kids of RBGC are involved in is placing the flags at the cemetery for Veterans Day. The RBGC offers scholarships for low income families.

Movie

Continued from Page 12 his smoldering eyes and cowboy charm. Crocker and Halsell have more then just sparks flying. Just as their friend Nan says, “The heat between you two, I thought you would set the hay bales on fire.” Nan is played by the very funny and charming new actress Arielle Lucius. It is Lucius’ first big role and I can’t wait to see her as a lead in a future production. After watching the 90-minute movie, I could not help but smile at the happy ending. Everybody is loved, money is no issue anymore and everybody lives happily ever after. And the icing on the holiday cake is when Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell and Roswell Film Studios scrolled over the screen in the credits. Sometimes it is just fun to watch a girly movie. A highlight of the movie are real barrel racers doing a great show at the big finale. I am looking forward to seeing those again in action on the big screen at the premier. A special invitation went to our local barrel racers, Artesia’s Smokin Spurs Production rodeo members. “Rodeo & Juliet” is made available by Marvista and Warner Bros. and can be ordered on iTunes when it is released Nov. 1, a preview with scenes from the movie is available on uptv.com/movies/ rodeo-juliet and via Uplifting Entertainment TV, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. MST, 9 p.m. ET. (Direct TV channel 338). Turner did not only direct and produce the film, but he also plays a small role during the barrel race as the announcer. Turner’s wife Cindy is equal part producer. “The screenplay is written by Stephen Beck, Harry Cason and myself,” said Turner. “We shot the movie earlier this year in Louisiana. Our next feature with Marvista is ‘Diamond Rose,’ a romantic comedy about an out of work actress who goes to a New Mexico horse ranch to learn how to ride, shoot and rope, where she meets the ranch owners — three single brothers. We expect to start production in November with a December or January shoot schedule, ‘Diamond Rose’ will be shot in Roswell at the new Roswell Movie Studios and surrounding locations.” Exciting times ahead for actors and for film fans such as myself. I will see you at the movies.

“12 Seconds” — the voyage of a short film Local director’s work is getting national recognition. By Christina Stock Vision Editor he title of the script “12 Seconds” has a dark meaning. It is what happens when the body dies. The brain takes 12 seconds to die after the body does. What happens in this time is the core of the story. “When we got our first award at the Treasure Coast International Film Festival in Port Saint Lucie this October, it was a huge surprise,” said director and actor Tom Kwiat. “We were nominated in two categories, best short story and best editing of a short story. There was strong competition and we won for best editing of a short story. “The script is not my original script,” said Kwiat. “I found it in a

vember and also available on Youtube. We are going to announce it on our Facebook page.” The main characters of “12 Seconds” are Kwiat, who plays the lead and directss and Tiffany Silva who plays opposite Kwiat. “I met her through another project,” said Kwiat. “She had an impressive theatre stage presence and came to Albuquerque a little over a year ago. She was looking to get into the movies, so she came to Roswell. Other local actors are the child Johnny Haynes and Asa Paschall. I am thankful for cast and crew and appreciate their help. I thank them by getting their names out.” After winning the first award, Kwiat was contacted on Oct. 20 that “12 Seconds” was accepted at the Legends of Hollywood Film Festival in Los Angeles. He will find out if they were nominated soon. The awards will be announced mid-November. Kwiat has future projects lined up. “I am planning on doing another short film mid-January with Nate Banks. It will be another drama. Banks and I had two projects prior. I usually try to have three films per year. Something different than science fiction again.” For updates about “12 Seconds” and results of the film festivals visit West Oak Street Productions on their Facebook page at facebook. com/WOSBproductions.

A Solid Green Mess: Howard Cook’s World War II Drawings From the Vault Roswell Museum and Art Center

By Sara Woodbury RMAC Curator of Collections and Exhibitions

n commemoration of the 70th anniversary of World War II’s conclusion, the RMAC is opening a new exhibit on Nov. 6, “A Solid Green Mess: Howard Cook’s World War II Drawings.” Pulled from the Museum’s vaults, this show features drawings and paintings created by Taos artist Howard Cook during his time as an art correspondent in the South Pacific. Paintings on loan from the New Mexico Military Institute will also be on view. In anticipation of this exhibit, we’ll be taking a look at one of the RMAC studies, Self-Portrait in a Foxhole. During the summer of 1943, Cook participated in the War Art Program, a federally-funded initiative to document the war effort. The program was organized through the United States Army with assistance from George Biddle, a Works Progress Administration muralist and acquaintance of President Franklin Roosevelt. Biddle created an invitation list of 32 artists, many of whom had already participated in the W.P.A., with 13 artists as backups. Artists who accepted the offer were sent to different

geographic regions and provided with supplies. Civilian participants were appointed an officer’s rank; artists already serving in the military maintained their present position. Cook was assigned the rank of Colonel and sent to Noumea, capital of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. He was put in charge of two other artists, Aaron Bohrod and Charles Shannon. Cook and his team stayed in New Caledonia from May through August of 1943, and would participate in the invasion of Rendova Island, when American troops took control of the Munda airport on nearby New Georgia Island, a critical air base. During his assignment, Cook created dozens of sketches and drawings that would be used for paintings and prints. Self-Portrait in a Foxhole was created after Cook’s experience with an air raid, when he had to take cover in his freshly-dug trench. He would later create an aquatint and an oil painting based on this study. Cook described the intensity of his concentration during the raid in a letter to his wife and fellow artist Barbara Latham, reflecting that “I condensed myself so intensely in my hole that I did not realize the

show was over until I saw a jeep drive up and almost come in on top of me.” To create this drawing, Cook used a combination of ink washes and white paint, allowing him to build up layers of light and shadow. The study shows a bird’seye view of the artist lying in a freshly-dug foxhole. With his helmet and heavy backpack, Cook resembles a turtle peeking out from its shell, providing a touch of humor while emphasizing the primal nature of his vulnerability. The perspective is particularly striking in the work. We are situated above the artist and looking down at him, as though we are one of the planes from which he is attempting to hide, or perhaps the jeep about to drive over him. From our vantage, the foxhole resembles an unfilled grave, underscoring both the protection and danger that accompanies Cook’s attempted concealment. No matter how successfully we render ourselves invisible, he seems to imply, our very inability to fully perceive our surroundings as a result of our hiding leaves us feeling exposed. Cook had originally intended to stay in the South Pacific for about six months, but his plans changed when Congress voted to cease

After Congress announced its decision, Life magazine offered to hire on all civilian artists enrolled in the program; military artists were expected to resume their regular posts. Of the 19 artists invited to join Life, only two declined the offer. One was none other than

Cook himself, who had accepted a personal invitation from Collier’s magazine to join its art staff. A few months later, one of his watercolors would appear in the November 13, 1943 issue. After the war, Cook moved on to other projects, with his work becoming increasingly abstract as he grew older.

UFOlogy

Was the Kennedy assasination a UFO secrecy issue?

Looking Up

ithin days of the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, rumors were circulating to the effect that it had been done not by hostile foreign powers or their sympathizers but by some super-secret wing of our own government. I remember thinking this was farfetched, but I have since had reason to reconsider. In the field of UFO studies there have been intimations for years that evidence exists showing JFK was murdered by government secret-keepers because he was planning to

declassify and make public what the government knew about the UFO phenomenon. One researcher has claimed that this was to be the subject of his speech at the very event he was on his way to, when he was gunned down. It would make a certain amount of sense. When I wrote the book UFOs AND THE MURDER OF MARILYN MONROE, I explored the fact that after JFK unwisely passed UFO-related information to Marilyn when they were romantically involved, and after she started threatening to hold a press conference and reveal

what she knew, she was silenced and made to look like a suicide. I have never found reason to think this matter (August 1962) and the Kennedy assassination were directly connected, but the killing of JFK may still have been related to his knowledge, as president, of matters involving UFOs, and to the possibility that certain others with knowledge of them felt threatened by Kennedy’s desire to declassify the subject and thus expose their activities. For example, a former FBI agent named Guy Banister was acquainted with the assassin Lee

Harvey Oswald and had investigated UFO crash episodes at the behest of J. Edgar Hoover. He was known to have been present at secret conferences at which he could have been exposed to the facts about the Roswell UFO crash. Another figure tangentially related both to the UFO field and to the JFK assassination was a man named Fred Crisman, thought to have had problematical connections to secret intelligence organizations and known to have been involved in investigating the now famous Maury Island UFO debris-dropping case

that occurred some two weeks before the Roswell incident. Some of the flying saucer debris Crisman collected was turned over to Air Force investigators who were supposed to fly it to Wright Field in Ohio but were killed in a plane crash that may well not have been an accident. The UFO debris was never accounted for. But the astonishing thing about Crisman was that he turned out to be one of three vagrants picked up in a rail yard near the Grassy Knoll involved in the Kennedy shooting scene. What was he doing there? Was he one of

the circle of UFO information bearers who were threatened with exposure by JFK’s intent to reveal that information, and who may have wanted him killed? These aren’t idle questions, especially given that a virus discovered at the Roswell crash may have become part of a horrendous bio-weapon plan. Those are nasty secrets to keep.
