T

Fearing for the lives of the prisoners, their families prayed incessantly to God for relief and implored the Mother of God under the title, Our Lady of Atocha.

In His left hand, He carries a pilgrim's staff fastened to the gourd, a pair of shackles, and a few spikes of wheat. In His right hand, he holds a basket which generally contains bread or flowers or sometimes it appears empty even though it isn't. Then the flowers are depicted as outside of the basket, adorning the image to one side and they are almost always roses.
St. Anne's Episcopal Church Glencoe, NM In the 1930's, several Episcopal families in the area wished to have a chapel. In all liklihood, the idea came first to the mind of Helena Ann Tully, after whom this church was named and who revered Ann as her patron saint.

Alamogordo's Lost Hero Armand Beauchamp Story by Donna Ikard Armand R. Beauchamp was born in Topeka, Kansas on October 10, 1920, the only son of Jack and Paula (Truhn) Beauchamp. The family relocated to Alamogordo, New Mexico for his father’s job when Armand was very young; he and his sisters, Wilma and Norma attended school in Alamogordo. Upon graduating high school, Armand attended four years of college at the Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas where he obtained a degree in history. In a letter he sent home from college he said he had "good friends in college, played tennis, played a musical instrument in the band, and had a fiancé." His family also remembers that Armand did some acting in college. Entering the service from Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas on August 22, 1942, Armand listed Alamogordo as his hometown. Armand's training began in Camp Toccoa, Georgia. He trained to join the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne. After his extensive training he became a member of the F-Company, 506th PIR. One of Armand's specialties was 60 mm mortars. He served with Easy Co. then transferred to Fox Co. prior to deployment overseas. Armand and his F-Company set off by ship (S.S. Samaria) to Liverpool, Great Britain on September 5, 1943, arriving September 15, 1943. For nine months he trained in Great Britain and on D-Day, June 6, 1944, he was one of the 2,000 paratroopers who fought in Normandy, France. At times his F-Company was with the E-Company, made famous by Band of Brothers.
Armand survived D-Day and was sent back to Great Britain to recover. On September 17, 1944, Armand was one of many paratroopers dropped over the Netherlands, taking part in Operation Market Garden, a military operation with Allied Forces which was fought in the Netherlands and Germany during World War II. The goal of the operation was to secure bridges over three rivers in the Netherlands (the Maas/Meuse, Waal and Rhine, respectively) in order to defeat the strong German defenses protecting Germany beyond the Rhine River. It was hoped that with a successful campaign towards Berlin the war would be over before Christmas. In the early morning hours of October 7, 1944, Armand was killed in action along the dikes near Opheusden, Netherlands when a German mortar round scored a near direct hit on his foxhole. The explosion also severely injured Armand's best friend Roy Zerbe who was with him. It was Roy who later informed Armand's devastated family back in Alamogordo about the details of his death. Armand was killed just three days shy of his 24th birthday. Beauchamp's body was recovered from the dike three days later by his commander and others. He was laid to rest in the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands along with other American war

Page 11 heroes. There are 8,301 Americans buried in this cemetery. With their beloved son interred so far from home Armand’s parents were unable to visit his final resting place, which only added to their pain. The Beauchamps were told that their son's gravesite would be tended to by a caretaker that had adopted his grave in the Netherlands; where it is considered a great honor to care for each soldier's gravesite. When Rob Duiverman was a boy growing up near Margraten, his father took him to the cemetery and told him of the heroics of the buried soldiers. Rob wanted to adopt his own gravesite and he has cared for Armand's grave ever since. Rob searched for decades to find Armand's family, recording every detail about the soldier that he could find over the years. In 2012 Rob finally found Armand's family on Ancestry.com. Armand's niece and nephew were shocked and honored that their uncle’s gravesite had been cared for all of these years. Rob shared with them a 45-page journal written in Dutch detailing Armand's military service and life before he died as well as his efforts to find Armand's family in America. The family has kept in touch with Rob ever since, they think he is pretty special; Rob placed a note from the family on Armand's headstone and sent them a picture. Each year on Memorial Day the dead soldiers are commemorated. In 2005, President Bush attended a large ceremony. It was the first time that an American president visited the cemetery. That day he was quoted as saying:
“On this peaceful May morning we commemorate a great victory for liberty, and the thousands of white marble crosses and Stars of David underscore the terrible price we pay for that victory. For the Americans who rest here, Dutch soil provides a fitting home. It was from a Dutch port that many of our pilgrim fathers first sailed for America. It was a Dutch port that gave the American flag its first gun salute. It was the Dutch who became one of the first foreign nations to recognize the independence of the new United States of America. And when American soldiers returned to this continent to fight for freedom, they were led by a President (Roosevelt) who owed his family name to this great land." When Armand was killed, his equipment left behind, including his helmet, was collected and stored at a local building that was used for a short while as a field hospital. When the Allies left the area following the failure of Operation Market Garden the building was never reoccupied. Beauchamp's helmet was not recovered during the war. It was miraculously picked up some time after the war by a young boy who was a collector of military artifacts. The US M-2 D-Bale helmet with General Motors Inland Division liner was then named after PFC Armand R. Beauchamp and never issued again. The helmet remained in the possession of the Wilson History and Research Centre USA for decades but has since changed hands to military collectors and traders. The Beauchamp family hopes the helmet will someday be returned to the family or permanently housed in a New Mexico museum. Armand Beauchamp was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge,

NEW MEXICO’S SMALLEST COIN: 1/10 CENT Believe it or not, for several years beginning in July 1, 1935, New Mexico citizens carried and spent small aluminum coins valued at 1 mil, one tenth of a cent! Each token was good for the tax on a five cent purchase under the new “emergency” two percent sales tax, passed on February 25, 1935.
issued larger 1 and 5 mil tokens in plastic and fiber in January 1941, which saw little use. The tax token authorization act was repealed in 1949, with no impact on commerce.
depression, several years before the first federal minimum wage law was passed. Many men worked for 50 cents or a dollar a day, sometimes ten or twelve hours. At fifty cents for 10 hours, a person works 12 minutes for a single cent, or 2.4 minutes to earn two mils or two tenths of a cent. The first federal minimum wage was established at 25 cents per hour in 1938. At that rate a person works 2.4 minutes to earn a penny. In comparison, at $10 per hour, a person works 2.4 minutes to earn forty cents.
They were in common use in the mid 1930s, but were little used by the start of World War II, and practically extinct by the end of the War. They were no longer needed because of rising prices and tax rates, and the increased use of printed tax tables supplied by the states. For example one cent was to be collected on purchases from 16 to 33 cents at a four percent rate. The tables helped average the taxes collected so it was fair to everyone.
At about the same time the one mil tokens were issued, the state also issued a scarcer bronze 5 mil (half cent) token in similar size. New Mexico

Chile-Seared Salmon with Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa Ingredients: 1 tbsp ground mild red chile 1 tsp sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa This sweet salsa combines the mellow flavor of pear with pineapple and the tart craisins or dried cranberries. The chile pulls all of the flavors together. Pork, poultry or seafood are each equally good with this salsa.
1/4 pound fresh salmon filet, deboned 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional) 1 cup Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa
Directions In a small bowl, combine the chile, sugar and salt. Cut the salmon into two pieces. Rinse, then pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the chile mixture evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle salt in a heavy seasoned skillet (or an unseasoned skillet to which you have added the oil). Place over medium-high heat until hot. SautĂŠ the salmon for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until crisp and brown on the outside and still moist and bright pink on the inside. Serve on a pool of salsa. Makes 2 servings.
Ingredients: 1 Anjou or Bartlett pear, peeled, cored, and diced 1 8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup dried cranberries or craisins 1/2 tsp crushed red pequin quebrado, or to taste
Directions In a non-reactive bowl, combine the pear, pineapple, cranberries, and chile. Allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Makes 2 1/2 cups or 4 generous servings.

Smokey Bear was an American black bear cub who in the spring of 1950 was caught in the Capitan Gap fire, a wildfire that burned 17,000 acres in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. Smokey had climbed a tree to escape the blaze, but his paws and hind legs had been burned. According to the New Mexico State Forestry Division, a group of soldiers from Fort Bliss, Texas, who had come to help fight the fire, discovered the bear cub and brought him back to the camp.

The Lincoln County seat was originally in Lincoln, 15 miles east of Carrizozo. When the railroads came and Carrizozo was founded, Lincoln County commissioners Robert Taylor, Charles Wingfield, and Rumaldo Duran decided to move the county seat from Lincoln to the new town. In 1909 they held a successful county-wide referendum on the matter, and prepared to construct a court house and jail in Carrizozo. S.T. Gray and Robert Brady fought the change of seat, claiming the county commission had violated laws and procedures regarding the movement of county seats to locations nearer railways. Laws on the books at that time covering the relocation of county seats to railroad centers; there were no cars or real roads to speak of at this time, so railroads were of supreme importance. Gray and Brady took their suit all the way to the United States Supreme Court, who decided in favor of the defendants (Gray v. Taylor, 227 U.S. 51) in 1913

WHAT’S THAT SOUND? Hello there, this is Mrs Alice again here at Victoria on New York Avenue, downtown Almagordo. Let me catch you up on Willy's latest escapade. A couple of weeks ago, I was here in the late of the day all by myself and was leaning on the counter facing the back of the store. I was whistling to some music I had going on the radio and behind me I heard this sound like whistling. I knew there wasn't anybody here at the store, so I turned around to make sure, and sure enough, no one was there. I turned back and started whistling again, and again, the whistling started again behind the counter in front of me, so I just spoke to Willy, " I know that you are here, thank you." And that was the end of that or so I believed The following Day, I had gone home early due to my not feeling well. Linda and Mary Ellen, a couple of of my helpers, and one customer were here late that day and they also heard whistling. You think, was it Willy whistling at them or what?"
But thank you Willy we appreciate the compliment.

It Was Meant To Be
Story by Miss Alice of Victoria
Now let me tell you the story of Victoria. Victoria is a most beautiful little shop located in historic downtown Alamogordo on New York Street. Victoria was started in 1980 by a wonderful lady named Jaton. Now Jaton was from Cloudcoft and Victoria started out as the first gift shop at the Lodge. From there she moved to Downtown Cloudcroft on Burro Street and then to a building across from Lowes grocery store here in Alamogordo.
Many of you remember the oil crush in Texas in the mid 80's. That sent Mr Bill and I scurrying to New Mexico looking for work so we could at least eat. Our daughter was already living here, so when came to visit we liked it. We lived in a tiny bitty house in La Luz. What a shock that was to me, being from the Houston area (laughing) . Anyway, one of my best friends had a health food store next to Victoria where it is now; and my family said,
Many of you might remember that. This was in the early 80's. At that time, most of the buildings here on the west side of New York Street were owned by the Sheffield family. About this time the Federal Government made available low interest or no interest money. Well one of the Sheffields guys decided to renovate the buildings on the other side of the street. He went to see Jaton saying " If I renovate the building will you move Victoria to New York Street?" She replied , "I will if you let me decide the store ." Well it's pretty much the same she decide all those years ago. The lamps on the side walls and the beautiful front door.
" You know we need to find something for ma to do, she driving us nuts, all she does is feed us with her baking bread and just being a general pest.� In the Houston area I had been running a large ladies ready wear store. I went to visit my friend at her store and she said, " Alice why don't you go next door to see if you can help out the young lady who owns Victoria?" I said she doesn't know me from Adam... and she said go on over there cause she was here in tears in my store crying because she doesn't know what to do with the store. I said okay . So I go over and walk through the front door, she had a beautiful gazebo built Story Continues Next Month

liver Lee Memorial State Park, open year-round offers hiking, camping, picnicking and wildlife viewing. There are three trails at the park. Dog Canyon Trail begins at the visitor center and climbs the canyon walls over a distance of 5.5 miles rising 3,144 feet. At the top of the canyon the trail enters Lincoln National Forest. Two interpretive trails at the park allow visitors to access the riparian environment along the stream in the canyon and the Oliver Lee Ranch House.
