The Spirit of the Cooperative Movement J

“

Cooperatives are the businesses that exist to serve their members. They are the only business model with a connection to the spirit of July 4, 1776.

”

uly 4th is, of course, the day we celebrate American independence. It’s been 240 years since the 13 colonies declared, “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” and laid the groundwork for the democracy we call the United States of America. Cooperatives owe their existence to this revolutionary philosophy. When 28 textile workers in the tiny English town of Rochdale opened a little store in 1844, to sell goods which they otherwise could not afford—the modern co-op movement was formed. The Rochdale Pioneers applied the concept of equality to the marketplace. They treated all customers equally, charging everyone a single, fair price for the product. They also ran the store so each member had an equal voice in the operation and an economic stake in the success of the business. By 1880, over a half a million people in England were members of these consumer societies. By the turn of the century, that number ballooned to 1.7 million. The growth continued through the 20th century and expanded outside of England to the United States and other countries around the world. Today’s co-ops are owned by their members, who also control the enterprise by a democratic one

member—one vote philosophy. This means decisions made in cooperatives are balanced between the pursuit of profit and the needs of members and their communities. Most co-ops follow the Seven Cooperative Principles, a unique set of guidelines that help maintain their memberdriven nature. In America, more than 90 million credit union member-owners control over $900 billion in assets. Thirty percent of Americans belong to cooperatively-owned credit unions, the largest of which serves approximately 3.4 million Department of Defense employees and has $45 billion in assets. Cooperatives are more widespread than you might think. From credit unions to apartment buildings to worker-owned businesses, co-ops appear in every facet of today’s economy. In many cases, they formed in response to economic crises like the Great Depression, or to let small groups compete in monopolized markets. Modern American co-ops include agricultural marketing groups like Land O’Lakes and Ocean Spray; retail outlets like R.E.I.; and many local farm-to-table programs. Purchasing co-ops like ACE and True Value Hardware let independent hardware stores compete with chain outlets. Yet, in many cases,

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

Americans don’t think of these well-known brands as cooperatives. In fact, the United States is full of co-ops—more than 30,000 of them. The United Nations declared 2012 as the year of the cooperative. In its resolution, it stated: “Cooperatives, in their various forms, promote the fullest possible participation in the economic and social development of all people, including women, youth, older persons, persons with disabilities and indigenous peoples, are becoming a major factor of economic and social development and contribute to the eradication of poverty.” —UN Resolution 64/136, 2010. The history of cooperatives you are a part of through your rural electric cooperative membership is a storied tradition. As more and more people are introduced to the cooperative, it becomes a very attractive business model. The 13 colonies wrote their declaration of independence when the world was excited about fairness and equality. Cooperatives inherited that passion and brought it to business and commerce. They are the businesses that exist to serve their members. They are the only business controlled by a one member—one vote governance model. They are the only business model with a connection to the spirit of July 4, 1776.

lanet-viewing during July is best during the evening hours. The brightest and most prominent planet this month is Jupiter. It shines brilliantly in the western sky after sunset and for most of the month, sets one-to-oneand-a half hours after the end of dusk. The four bright “Galilean” moons continue to be visible in a small telescope or even a good pair of binoculars. Shining prominently in our southern skies throughout the evening hours are the planets Mars and Saturn. Mars is located somewhat to the west of the “head” of the prominent constellation Scorpius, Saturn to the east. Both planets were at “opposition,” directly of the sun in late May and early June. For most of July they set one to two hours after midnight. Mars, which came somewhat close to Earth at the end of May, is now receding from our planet and thus fading noticeably, whereas Saturn remains fairly steady in brightness although it is still dimmer than Mars. Venus, which has been hidden behind the sun for the past few months, begins to appear in our evening sky during July. It remains low in twilight throughout the 6

month and sets only an hour or so after sunset. Around mid-month, Mercury is rather close to Venus, and then over the next couple of weeks it climbs somewhat higher into the sky, although it too, remains fairly low in the dusk. After a voyage of almost five years, the Juno spacecraft which was launched back in August 2011, arrives at Jupiter on July 4. Upon its arrival, Juno will insert itself into a highly elongated polar orbit around Jupiter, and is expected to spend the next year and a half making detailed studies of the Giant Planet’s interior, atmosphere and magnetic field.

Chilled Cucumber Soup

ool, creamy, refreshing, and chilled summer soups generously reward the effort required to produce them. There is no cooking involved. Nor is any special equipment required. It’s all about you and your blender, and, like anything else, selecting fresh ripe ingredients, or better yet, picking them from the garden. There are many variations on cold soup. For example, you can sauté your excess zucchini in butter, add some stock, some yogurt, a bit of basil, blend, chill and voila! Cold zucchini soup. Gazpacho is just as easy. Mix tomato juice, a little beef stock, peeled and chopped cucumber, a little chopped onion, and green pepper. If you prefer a spicy brew, toss in a little chopped and seeded jalapeño and a chopped garlic clove or a canned chipotle pepper. Serve well-chilled.

Energy Sense

BY PATRICK KEEGAN AND AMY WHEELESS

Wash the Energy Waste Out of Your Laundry

ear Pat: We have two kids, which means we do a lot of laundry—it never ends! What are some ways we can reduce our energy use in the laundry room? —Frank Dear Frank: The average American family washes about 300 loads of laundry per year—all that laundry uses a lot of energy! However, there are some easy ways to reduce your energy use in the laundry room. Consider purchasing more efficient appliances: One of the biggest changes you can make is to purchase a new Energy Star-certified washer and dryer. Washers with this certification use about 40 percent less water and 25 percent less energy than standard washers. Energy Star washers can be toploading or front-loading machines; however, front-loading machines are generally more energy efficient, helping offset any additional upfront costs. Energy Star dryers use 20 percent less energy than standard dryers. Visit energystar. gov for more information about estimated water and energy use of all of their certified products. Get out of hot water: The easiest source of energy efficiency in the laundry room is

July 2016

to stop using hot water. Almost 90 percent of the energy consumed by your washing machine is used to heat water—but most loads of laundry can be just as easily cleaned with cold water. Using cooler water is also easier on your clothes. If you need to use hot or warm water on a particularly dirty load of laundry, a well-insulated water heater will help decrease the costs of using warmer water. Do fewer loads! When possible, wash a full load of clothes. However, when you must do a smaller load of laundry, remember to adjust the water level settings on your machine. Help your dryer out: One of the best ways to reduce the amount of drying time is to get as much water out of the clothes as possible in the washing machine—use a higher spin setting to wring the extra water out of your laundry. When you are ready to dry, remember not to overfill the dryer so there is enough room for drying air to reach the clothes. Use your dryer’s features: If your dryer has a moisture sensor, use it rather than guessing how long each load of

laundry will need to dry. A dryer’s cool-down cycle uses the residual heat to finish drying your clothes, without using as much energy. Dry like with like: Heavy fabrics, like towels and blankets, should be dried separately from lighter fabrics, like T-shirts. When using a dryer’s moisture sensor, the dryer will keep running until the wettest (and probably heaviest) item is dry. Rather than one towel extending the drying time for each of your loads of laundry, dry the towels together. Live lint free: Clean the lint trap on your dryer regularly to help air circulation. Periodically use a vacuum nozzle to clean the area under or behind the lint filter, where lint can also get caught. If you use dryer sheets, scrub the filter clean about once a month— dryer sheets can leave a film on the filter that reduces air flow. Remember safety: Your laundry room extends from the back of the dryer, down the dryer duct and all the way to the end of your dryer vent. Inspect your outside

dryer vent regularly to make sure it is not blocked, and periodically work with a professional to clean your dryer ducts. Making sure the duct and vent are clear not only helps your dryer work more efficiently, but can also prevent a fire—more than 15,000 fires per year are sparked by clogged dryer ducts and vents. If possible, move the dryer closer to an exterior wall to shorten the length of the dryer duct and make sure the duct is as straight as possible—this helps reduce the opportunities for clogging and increases efficiency. Use your solar-powered dryer: Going “old-fashioned” and air drying your clothes will definitely reduce your energy use! You can also tumble dry clothes until damp, then line dry them until fully dry—taking this step can prevent the “crunchy” feeling that line dried clothes can sometimes have. There are many ways you can wash the energy waste out of your laundry routine. Try a few of these simple tips, and “load up” on the savings!

How co-ops keep hackers away from the electric grid

The Co-op Cyber Counter-Attack By Paul Wesslund, NRECA

bout 3:30 in the afternoon last December 23, operators at three electric utilities halfway around the world in western Ukraine found themselves not to be solely in control of their computer terminals. Someone from outside the utilities had taken over the controls and started opening circuit breakers at more than 27 substations, cutting power to more than 200,000 customers. Thousands of fake calls clogged utility switchboards, preventing people from phoning in to get information about the outage. Utility workers switched to manual operations, and it took three hours to restore power. That’s not a movie plot. And if you missed or forgot about that news report from last year, people who run electric utilities have not. Attention to cyber security at electric utilities has been growing fast in the past few years, and the Ukraine attack pushed that trend into overdrive. “It’s garnered a lot of attention from the federal government and throughout the industry,” says Barry Lawson, Associate Director of Power Delivery and Reliability for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). A big part of Lawson’s job is helping the nearly 1,000 electric co-ops in the country understand digital-age dangers, and ensuring they know how to protect and secure the power supply, electric grid, and co-op members and employees from Internet mischief. Electric co-ops are showing they do understand the importance of cyber security, says Cynthia Hsu, Cyber Security Program Manager for Business and Technology Strategies at NRECA.

Bedrock Tourism BY CRAIG SPRINGER

f ever you need a reminder the Earth is held together by stone, just look around you. From the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns in southeast New Mexico to the stalwart butte of Shiprock on the lands of the Navajo Nation, the evidence abounds. Take a gander at the mountains that line the Rio Grande from Bernalillo to Las Cruces. The Sandias and Manzanos and Caballos— they tell a tale of tectonics—the movements of great plates of planet Earth that convulsed and tilted. They show in stone the seaways that laid down beds of limestone now littered with fossils two miles above today’s sea level. The data are in the strata you might say. Beds of mud from long ago hardened and turned to stone after dinosaurs traipsed over it leaving only their footprints as testaments of another time. The sea water that built the limestone slabs have in any number of places in New Mexico been slowly razed by slightly acidic fresh rain and snow melt slowly seeping into caves. It’s a very slow process done over deep time such that it makes your mind reel. So, our geologic basement is in full view most anywhere across New Mexico. And that basement is the bedrock source of tourism, an industry that drives much of our economy. Without question, New Mexico is a world-class stopping place and that’s evidenced by the variety of languages heard spoken at destinations throughout the Land of Enchantment. As we plan our summer getaways, perhaps we should consider getting away close by, and take advantage of that bedrock tourism offered in New Mexico.

SANTA ROSA Blue Hole The bedrock in Santa Rosa is perforated and filled with water. The town sits within a six-mile diameter sink hole called the Santa Rosa Sink. Its moniker, the City of Natural Lakes, is a proper fit. Santa Rosa is situated half way between Albuquerque and Amarillo, Texas on old U.S. Route 66 and sports a most unusual attribute. It’s biggest drawn is the geologic phenomenon called the Blue Hole. It’s an artesian spring rimmed in with red cliffs and it’s an opening view of an aquifer—an underground lake. This wonderful site is essentially a cave filled with water, a sapphire in the desert. The Blue Hole measures 80 feet across at the surface and in a bell-shaped form, it expands to 130 feet at the bottom. But is it truly “the bottom?” Not really. The underground water percolates deeper through the bedrock and narrow cave passages another 110 feet— almost 200 feet below the surface. That is as deep as many of the buildings in downtown Albuquerque are tall. Those subterranean passages have been explored and mapped by brave cave divers, and sealed off with a grate. And speaking of diving, if you have an affinity for the sport, this is a place to scuba dive. This gem of a lake sits at 4,600 feet above sea level and is extremely clear. You can see about 100 feet through the water. The water is cool, too, at a near-constant 62 degrees. That means it’s a great place to cool off in the summer and you can scuba dive the year round. It’s easy to get to, only minutes off of I-40 with lodging and camping nearby. A complete dive center is available on site.

Clayton Lake State Park Located near the borders of Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico on open prairie near the Kiowa section of the Panhandle National Grasslands, Clayton Lake State Park had a beginning different from most reservoirs in our arid lands. The lake was not created for irrigation or a water supply but as a reserve for migrating waterfowl in winter. A small dam was built across Seneca Creek by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish in 1955. If you build it, they will come—and they did. The resulting Clayton Lake named after the nearby town became a haven for game and fish. The 170-acre lake gets visited by ducks and geese, and has become a fishing hot-spot. This no-wake lake has turned out a state-record walleye of 16 pounds, 9 ounces; a largemouth bass of 14 pounds; a 6-pound rainbow trout; and a huge channel catfish of 30 pounds. If that isn’t enticing enough, the state park has another feature uncovered entirely by accident, dinosaur tracks. In 1982, high waters scoured the creek bottom below the dam like turning back the hands of time, revealing a large area of 500 preserved reptile footprints, estimated to be 100 million years old. You can walk atop the bedrock on an elevated boardwalk over fossilized plant impressions, ripple marks from waves, worm burrows, and tracks made by very large reptiles. The footprints are best seen in the morning and early evening or when they are filled with rainwater. Our enchanting land is filled with wonderment and surprise with many state and national parks and monuments. Look around and you will see monuments in many forms, from the bedrock and on up. Consider doing what many travelers from all over the world do—visit New Mexico!

A RISING TIDE OF PEOPLE SWEPT AWAY

BEST PLANTS FOR NEW MEXICO GARDENS AND LANDSCAPES

NEW MEXICO ART THROUGH TIME: PREHISTORY TO THE PRESENT

By Scott Archer Jones 2016, 232 pages, $15 Fomite Press; www.fomitepress.com

By Baker H. Morrow 2016, 286 pages, $34.95 University of New Mexico Press 800-249-7737; www.unmpress.com

By Joseph Traugott 2012, 244 pages, $50 Museum of New Mexico Press 505-476-1158; www.mnmpress.org

This empathetic novel is dedicated to the working poor in “mythic Albuquerque” who knock themselves out to stay two hops ahead of ruin. But still go hungry to save a warm burrito for a stray kid who is hiding from his drunken father. Richard, the pawnbroker, explains bookkeeping to the kid: “Double entry is one of the mysteries of the universe. It was invented by a wizard named Luca…” All the characters in this beaten-up Bosque neighborhood pop on the page with sharp dialogue and description. “Glistening dark hair hung down around her cheap dimestore reading glasses and outlined her sour mouth.” Across the street, Ilene has an ongoing argument with the devil who offers her, “That intimacy, that oneness with another being, that entanglement of spirit and flesh.” In the face of this succulent decay, the city decides to blast through the hood right about where they’re sittin’ and build a new bridge. Ann Hillerman calls it, “The best book I’ve read in a long time.” Five stars!

July 2016

Gardening in New Mexico has always been a challenge, but now, with drought, urban expansion, ultraviolet radiation, and climate change, these updated recommendations are more valuable than ever. Morrow has been a practicing landscape architect in Albuquerque for the past 40 years and is a professor at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico. He provides sound advice on attractive ways to create shade, color, oxygen, soil protection, and wind screening in New Mexico’s various life zones. Agricultural chemicals that helped explode our world population are not great for ornamental landscapes, he says, because they form hard lenses in the lower soil and prevent water and air from circulating as they should. He recommends mulch and climate-adapted native plants, but even non-native imports like sequoia and paper birch thrive at high altitudes. A beautiful, informative guide. Five stars!

This is an excellent treasure-trove of 250 outstanding works of art that span 1,400 years of ideological, ethnic and cultural perspectives in New Mexico: brilliantly-crafted Native American pottery, baskets and textile weaving; devout Hispanic art, sacred retablos and bultos; sculpture and painting styles that evolve into the streamlined speed of the 20th century with artists both romantic and contemporary from Georgia O’Keefe to Victor Higgins, Fritz Scholder and Agnes Martin. It includes 241 plates: drawings, paintings and photographs. Contemplating the inexorable progression expressed in Southwestern art from physical and spiritual survival to the playfulness and celebration of New Mexico’s relentless beauty creates an aesthetic impact. The book itself is a work of art, a reflection of humanity’s progress through the centuries from finely-napped Clovis points to the Trinity Site, “First Atomic Explosion…” Five stars!

IF I WAS A HIGHWAY Essays by Michael Ventura 2011, 236 pages, $29.95 Texas Tech University Press 800-832-4042; www.ttupress.org This right-on journalist, poet and novelist has a sharp eye for a shapely tattoo and a gypsy soul for song. Whether he’s riding the bus down from Maine to the Big Apple or studying the geology of time as he cruises from volcano to volcano in his green 1969 Chevy Malibu, he’ll take you places you’ve never been, always been. He found happiness once with his Pa on a deserted highway “speeding and singing and laughing.” Maybe he’ll find it again “in the feel of an open road before me.” He knows he’s driving in sin, polluting the air, but observes the American maxim: “Drive on.” His essays show politically split, racist America the truth as he sees it, in honest words that leave us “nowhere to hide.” If the American Highway is a philosophical journey, maybe it’s time to hit the road. Five stars!

SMART INVESTORS CHOOSE GEOTHERMAL In today’s economic climate, the choices of investments you make are more important than ever. With the skyrocketing price of fossil fuels, many investors have found that a WaterFurnace is a smart choice. That’s because WaterFurnace taps into the clean, renewable energy in your own backyard to provide savings up to 70% on heating, cooling and hot water—no matter what climate you’re in.

1-800-432-6612 WagnerEquipment.com The Co-op Cyber Counter-Attack …continued from page 11 “Electric co-ops were the first utilities to test and use the U.S. Department of Energy’s cyber security self-assessment tool,” says Hsu. “They are often on the cutting edge of implementing best practices to improve their cyber security capabilities.” While the Ukraine cyber attack has been studied in-depth by U.S. utilities and the Federal Department of Homeland Security, most analysts see a large-scale attack by hackers as unlikely to succeed in this country. The reports characterize the Ukraine attack as extremely well-planned and coordinated, but not technically sophisticated. The Ukraine incident started as early as March of last year when utility workers received e-mails with Microsoft Office documents from the Ukrainian parliament. But the e-mails were not from the Ukrainian parliament. When

workers followed the e-mail instructions asking them to click on a link to “enable macros,” malicious malware embedded in the documents—called BlackEnergy 3—secretly infected the system. Among other capabilities, BlackEnergy 3 can enable an adversary to observe and copy all the keystrokes made on the infected computers, giving hackers passwords and other login information needed to access the utility’s operations control systems. Defenses against that kind of attack are basic, and you’ve probably heard the warnings yourself—don’t click on any links or attachments unless you are expecting the message. Utilities are enhancing and formalizing their security plans, processes and controls. New cyber security standards require upgraded levels of training for utility operators, multiple layers of security to shield operational and control systems from the Internet, and even stricter procedures for visitor access (physical and electronic) to control rooms.

These utilities are regularly audited for cyber security compliance, and regulators, such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), can levy strict penalties for not following standards. NRECA’s Lawson describes an example of one type of security technology, a security token—a physical device an operator carries that changes a password every 30 seconds. NRECA has also worked with the Department of Energy to develop software, which constantly monitors a utility’s system for even a microsecond of irregularity that might indicate some kind of hacking attempt or malware interfering with the system. With all that attention to keep the electricity flowing, Lawson says there’s another major cyber-threat receiving highpriority attention from electric co-ops— protecting data and critical utility infor-

mation to avoid identity theft of members’ information. He says some co-ops hire firms to periodically try to hack into their computer systems, so the co-op can identify and fix the holes in their security. Lawson describes a scary world of cyber terrorists, organized crime, issueoriented groups, or just kids in their basement seeing what kind of trouble they can cause on the Internet. At the same time, he compares those high-tech threats to risks posed by hurricanes or the everyday need for paying attention to safety at the co-op. Co-ops use risk assessment and management practices to balance a wide range of threats to their systems. “Physical security and cyber security are becoming just another cost of doing business,” says Lawson. “You’ll never be 100 percent secure, and all you can do is try your best to keep up with the bad guys. It’s a fact of life in these days and times we’re living in.”

ROCKY'S

imply stunning is the term for Rocky’s on U.S. Route 66 in Grants. The modest storefront is eye-catching among the main street businesses along the famous road but the display space inside is a wonderland of color, imagination and local creativity. Continental Divide Electric Co-op members Bob Clark (left in picture) and John Martinez (right) started the consignment shop four years ago with 800-square feet and eight local artists selling hand work. In April, the business moved into a 5,000-square foot building at 1100 West Santa Fe on the Old Mother Road. Rocky’s now features work from 32-plus Cibola County artists, plus a few from Albuquerque and Gallup. “Our reputation has grown; we are attracting artists from elsewhere,” Martinez says, noting that “word of mouth” is their best advertising. Rocky’s inventory includes traditional and contemporary jewelry, painting, found-item crafts, photography, and unusual works by Native American and other New Mexico artists and crafts persons. Most items for sale are handmade consignment works but purchased

goods as unlikely as a bust of King Tut or a jolly Buddha can be found mixed in with painted animal skulls, bullet casing menorahs, and kachinas. Martinez, the artistic influence in the business, says he likes to use unexpected elements that are not usually found together—the whimsical and the controversial. A blue carousel horse holds pride of place near the center of the store. Clark, who ran businesses in his native Texas, is the behind-the-scenes business side of Rocky’s. Martinez, a returning Cibola County native son, is the front man, setting up displays, designing the space and working with visitors and customers. Clark and Martinez created the business with the belief it should serve both the community and customers. One thing they wanted to do is provide a marketplace and exposure for local artists to “put back into the community.” They wanted also, in Martinez’s words, to “share the beauty and spiritualism that is Cibola County” through making friends with visitors and offer-

ing unique work at reasonable prices. Martinez explains for the most part, artists set their own prices and price to sell. Local work has found its way to many parts of the world. The store guest book contains signatures and remarks from visitors from the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Puerto Rico, Australia, China, Spain, and other countries, along with those of travelers from throughout the United States. As an active community member, Clark served with the Grants Mainstreet Project, is a past president of the Grants Rotary Club and will become president of the Grants/Cibola County Chamber of Commerce this summer. Working with Mainstreet organizers, Martinez brought the

Navajo Nation Marching Band into the Holiday Light Parade and was the artistic developer of the first Memorial Day Field of Honor event in Grants, and stays active in civic events. In 2014, the business hosted a benefit Pow Wow for the Indian Parent Advisory Committee (IPAC) at its previous location. The IPAC is a volunteer organization that helps isolated Native American families with parenting and other concerns. Rocky’s on U.S. Route 66 is located at 110 West Santa Fe Avenue in Grants and is convenient to the Cibola Arts Double Six Gallery and the Mission Gallery.

Back Yard Trails BY CRAIG SPRINGER

Summer Monsoons Bring out Biting Bugs

Source: Center for Disease Control.

nless you have been under a rock, you have probably heard about the Zika virus. There’s talk of Olympians staying away from Rio de Janeiro this summer or even moving the Olympics to another site. The virus is spread in part by mosquito bites. This isn’t the first time the tiny-winged creatures altered the course of human events. A young United States was nearly brought to its knees in 1793. It wasn't from a foreign invading army—it was mosquitoes and the Yellow Fever they carried—that put a scare in folks. The threat of death from a tiny prick of the skin from a mosquito sent men like President George Washington away from the nation’s capital, then in Philadelphia, to seek refuge. Malaria is perhaps the most well-known mosquito-borne disease. New Mexicans have

not been immune to this disease. Though today it’s rare in our country, historically New Mexicans who lived near or worked in irrigated agriculture were most vulnerable. Malaria-carrying mosquitos species have a liking for water. While few will relish the return of the little biting bugs, they will come. As sure as spring turns to summer, July will bring the monsoons. Anvil-headed storm clouds will reach steeply into the atmosphere turning every color known to our eyes while a setting sun melts day into night. We all appreciate what the sky will bring and in this arid land the sky determines a great deal of our fate. Pelting storms will puddle and standing water of the smallest pool is a breeding ground for mosquitos. But not all mosquitos species need water. New Mexico is graced with a variety of land-

scapes from prairie to tundra, and each is occupied by organisms adapted to those environs—mosquitos included. Some 60 species of mosquitos live in New Mexico. They breed in tree holes, some in desert rocks and others live only the briefest time to lay eggs in snow-melt pools in tundra above Taos. Not all mosquitos are pests, though. They pollinate flowers and fruit and have their place in nature feeding bats and barn swallows. Mosquitos sport names only pronounced by scientists and some are artful such as Uranotaenia sapphirina, named for its sapphire color; it’s found only in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Biting bugs can blight a good outing, but don’t let them keep you indoors. The next one you swat has its place in nature—just not on your forearm.
