“

This is no time to become complacent or discouraged. The choices may be tough and sometimes distasteful. But it is our right and our duty.

”

So, let’s go out and vote.

The Power of Our Vote

ovember 4th is upon us. This date is a biennial occurrence where we as citizens hold all of the power—the power of our vote. It is the opportunity to inject our will on the policies of government. Elections don’t quite work the way our high school civics books told us. Democracy is non-violent warfare. It lets political parties amass huge armies, mobilize them on a verbal battlefield and clash without shedding blood. And as this unfolds, there are organized grassroots activities across our state. Voter registration drives and efforts to get out the vote are part of the battle for victory on Election Day. And, as we have seen in the past—sometimes it does not end there. Every vote counts. Absentee ballots must be counted after the polls close. Poll watchers and their lawyers are poised to file challenges over even a hint of irregularity. Cynics can find any number of problems with this process. There is too much money spent to influence our elections. The ads are too negative. The other candidate is lying or cheating. The list goes on—a litany of complaints range from legitimate concerns that need attention to

paranoid speculations fed by bloggers and Internet conspiracies. However, there is another way to see this fervor. We’re experiencing a healthy and vigorous debate over leadership of our government at all levels. This is democracy in action and sometimes it is not pretty. Then again, we are not voting for homecoming royalty. It’s a serious choice between candidates who have asked us to put our sacred trust in their leadership. They’re fighting a no-holds-barred contest with strongly held and opposing views of our future. Anything less would not do justice to the voters each candidate represents. History provides a case in point. America’s fourth presidential election almost destroyed the new republic. Thomas Jefferson, the vice president, ran against President John Adams in his reelection bid. An Electoral College tie between Jefferson and Aaron Burr (Adams was in third place) sent the election to the House of Representatives and 36 rounds of ballots. Jefferson won and Adams left town enraged. His ill will was so deep that on his death bed he lamented Jefferson had beaten him again by outliving him—not

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

knowing Jefferson had died earlier that morning, July 4, 1826. The country survived that turmoil and all of the backroom dealmaking which landed Jefferson on top. History has judged, and I think we would all agree, he proved to be a very capable leader. Winston Churchill once said “Many forms of government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” With Election Day quickly approaching it is time to roll up our sleeves and make a choice. This requires sifting through the sound bites and the 24-hour news cycle. Voters must determine what are the truths, half-truths, and untruths. This is no time to become complacent or discouraged. The choices may be tough and sometimes distasteful. But it is our right and our duty. So, let’s go out and vote.

Hale to the stars BY ALAN HALE • A MONTHLY GUIDE TO THE STARS OF NEW MEXICO

fter all the busy sky events that took place last month, things quiet down during November. Even the planets are relatively quiet, as only three of our solar system’s bright planets are visible this month. The first of these is the Red Planet, Mars. It was a fixture in our southwestern evening sky for the past few months, and in fact will continue to be for a few months more, although it is continuing to fade as it lags farther and farther behind Earth. Unlike last month, there are no cosmic visitors coming Mars’ way. Which we are aware

about anyway. But the various spacecraft in orbit and on the surface are keeping busy. These include two recent arrivals, NASA’s MAVEN mission and India’s Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft, both of which arrived in late September. The brightest and most spectacular planet this month is Jupiter. It rises in the east around midnight (somewhat earlier by month’s end), and is high in the eastern sky by the time dawn starts. Even relatively small backyard telescopes will reveal Jupiter’s four large moons as well as some of its belts and other atmospheric features. Normally Mercury, our solar system’s innermost planet, is hard to track down since it remains close to the sun. But it puts on a reasonably good

history, a human-made spaceshow this month in the morning sky. During the first week to craft will have touched down ten days of November, Mercury upon a comet, and will give us our closest-ever view of these rises around the beginning of still-mysterious members of our dawn and shines low in the solar system. southeastern sky for the next half-hour or so as dawn gradually builds. One dramatic event taking place this month involves the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft. It arrived at Comet ChuryumovGerasimenko in August. On Wednesday, November 12, Rosetta will deploy a small probe, dubbed Philae, that will attempt to make a soft landing on the comet’s surface a few hours later. Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 3, as imaged If all goes well, by the Rosetta spacecraft during its approach. Image for the first time in courtesy European Space Agency.

20 Years Ago

10 Years Ago

November 1974: Clean Energy from Fenton Hill. Fenton Hill which is located in the Jemez Mountains is uniquely suited for the development of geothermal energy. The earth can be considered to be one great reservoir of thermal energy. This energy is inherently clean because it already exists as heat—it is not really necessary to burn any fuel or operate a nuclear reactor to produce it. Thus, geothermal energy is potentially capable of making significant contributions to the solution of man’s power and pollution problems. —Roland A. Pettit

November 1994: It’s Flue Season Again. It’s time to inspect and clean your wood burning devices before the first fire of the season and perhaps once again during the heating season. Removing creosote from the flue lining is important. Creosote is a black, tar-like substance in wood smoke that sticks to the chimney lining. If you use a wood heater a lot and burn unseasoned wood, creosote accumulates more quickly. The exemptions are pellet stoves and newer, higher efficiency wood stoves that have a cleaner burner. —JoAnn Emmel, Energy Specialist, NMSU

November 2004: Food Banks are a Sophisticated Business. Food banks are like supermarkets. They have inventory controls, warehouses, refrigeration units, delivery trucks, and trained personnel. As non-profit organizations, they watch their costs closely and rely on donations to survive. The Roadrunner Food Bank estimates one-in-six people in New Mexico go hungry at some point each year. A one dollar donation to Roadrunner yields $16 in food.

Caramel Tart with Salted Ganache You’ll need a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom for this dessert from Epicurious.com Tart Shell ½ cup whole almonds, skin on ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened ½ cup granulated sugar ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract 1¼ cups all-purpose flour ½ tsp. salt Caramel Filling 1½ cups granulated sugar ½ cup water 2 Tbs. light corn syrup ½ cup heavy cream, measured and chilled 4 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut in tablespoons and chilled 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract ½ tsp. salt Ganache Topping 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped 8 oz. crème fraîche, room temperature 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, room temperature 2 Tbs. light corn syrup Flaky salt for garnish ❧ Tart Shell: Preheat oven to 300°F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse almonds until finely ground; remove and set aside. Add butter, sugar and vanilla to food processor and pulse to

combine well. Return ground almonds to food processor along with flour and salt. Pulse until dough begins to form. Transfer dough (it will be crumbly) to tart pan. Press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes. Prick dough all over with fork and bake until just golden brown, about 45 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack and cool completely. The tart shell can be baked 2 days ahead of time; stored at room temperature, covered with foil. Caramel Filling: Place a pastry brush in a cup of water near the stove. In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over medium-high heat, swirling gently and occasionally using the pastry brush to wash down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Continue to cook until caramel reaches a dark amber color, swirling frequently, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully add the cream all at once. It will bubble. Add butter, vanilla and salt; when bubbles decrease slightly, whisk caramel until smooth. Pour into tart shell and set aside to cool for 20 minutes. Then, refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, or up to one day ahead. Ganache Topping: Melt the chocolate in a bowl set atop barely simmering water in a saucepan. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. Stir the crème fraîche into the chocolate, followed by the butter and corn syrup; stir to combine well. Spread over the cooled caramel tart and refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Remove sides and bottom of tart pan and place tart on flat serving platter. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.

Energy Sense BY JAMES DULLEY The Heat about Fireplaces

ear Jim: We like to use our brick open wood-burning fireplace, but it makes the rest of the house cold. Our heating bills are high enough, so what simple things can we do to make the fireplace more efficient? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jan W.

Dear Jan: During the winter, a warm fire can be quite comfortable. Radiant heat from the flames and coals keeps you warm when sitting directly in front of an open fireplace. But, most fireplaces lose more heat than they produce. That warm, relaxing open fire is actually costing you a lot of moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in several ways. First, for some, firewood must be purchased, which is not cheap. Second, the radiant heat feels nice in front of the fire, but already-heated air is getting sucked up the chimney from the rest of the house. Making your heat pump or furnace run longer. Third, if there is no damper on the fireplace or the fireplace is not fitted with its own outdoor air source, indoor air is escaping up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use. Adding a source of combustion air that ducts into the fireplace can help a great dealâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and this works well in combustion with glass doors. The fire draws the air it needs for proper combustion and draft

10 NOVEMBER 2014

from outside, rather than conditioned air from inside. The best tip is to avoid using the fireplace in extremely cold weather. All of the indoor air lost up the chimney is being drawn outdoors through leaks in the house exterior. During milder weather, the air leaking indoors is not as cold so less energy is needed to warm up this cold air. It also helps to crack open a window at little in the room by the fireplace and close doors leading to the room. Much of the excess air being drawn up the chimney will be cold outdoor air from the open window. When sitting right in front of the hot fire, you probably will not notice the chilly breeze. Do not place wood into the fire several hours before bedtime so the fire is totally out by the time you go to sleep. It is not safe to leave a smoldering fire. Also, if the fire is completely out, you can close the chimney damper to block room air loss without filling the room with smoke. If you make just one investment to improve the efficiency of your fireplace, it should be to install high-quality glass doors. These doors control the amount of indoor air that escapes up the chimney when a fire is burning and also when one is not.

Various types of heat-circulating fireplace grates heating indoor air. Some grates use fans, and others rely on natural convection circulation. Source: Northline Express.

High-quality fireplace doors are not cheap, but they are worth the expense. The best doors are relatively airtight when closed. By adjusting combustion air vents in the bottom of the glass door frame, you can still have a raging fire without major indoor air loss. Keep in mind, the fire does need an adequate supply of combustion air for an efficient, clean burn. If the air flow is reduced too much, creosote buildup occurs, leaving the potential for a chimney fire. I recommend having the chimney inspected and regularly using several squirts of a creosote control spray during each fire. Burn only well-seasoned wood or no more than one unseasoned log to three seasoned ones. If you try to burn more unseasoned wood, it requires more combustion air to keep it burning well, which draws even more air out of your home. There are several designs of heatcirculating grates that increase the heat output from a fireplace. Many efficient grates are designed to fit

snugly under the bottom edge of the fireplace doors and contain an electric blower that circulates indoor air through the grate, keeping the air warm. If you decide to purchase a heatcirculating grate, select a model with a blower that has several speeds and a thermostat with an on/off switch. This switch shuts off the blower when the fire burns down. If you prefer to use the fireplace with the doors open, tubular heat-circulating grates are available to blow the heat directly out the front. Other models have no blower and rely on natural convection. Stoll Fireplaces makes a unique heat exchanger, which mounts at the top of the fireplace opening, creating a tremendous amount of heat output. These models work with gas or woodburning fireplaces. A circulating heat exchanger with built-in glass doors is also available for a more airtight combination. Also, an optional upper oven section is available for cooking and baking, which can help reduce energy use

The holiday season and family traditions are nearly here. In our family the holiday traditions kick-off with the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! And every year, there is always something new to see and hear. What does remain the same is the uplifting and exciting feeling of seeing the balloons inflate and launch. Every first week of October, thousands gather at the Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque to see the colorful tear-drop and special-shaped balloons, feast on breakfast burritos, collect balloon memorabilia, and take photos. With over 500 colorful balloons stationed on the 78-acre launch field, it is undoubtedly difficult to locate a specific balloon unless you know someone manning the balloon. And that is exactly how I found the Touchstone Energy Hot Air Balloonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;calling Cheri White. She has piloted the Touchstone Energy Hot Air Balloon on several occasions since the balloon begin making an appearance at the Balloon Fiesta in 2004.

As a young man in college in Austin, Texas, working weekends at a radio station, Fox is shocked when he is drafted. But his angels guide him to join the Air Force and he is assigned to Athenai Air Force Base in Athens. While Vietnam War protests and riots engulf America, Fox falls in love, becomes a lieutenant, and explores the sublime cultural vistas of Greece with his new girlfriend. But close encounters with the natives reveal a state of constant peril. When he learns first hand of the tyranny of “the Colonels,” he broadcasts American angst and idealism, for example rock and roll, from Athenai across the airways to Athens. Woven through the taut narrative, a theme of rebellion emerges. Fox joins the resistance, though it costs him his career. Author John Nichols says, quite rightly, “The book is a great page turner, a thriller about the right-wing military coup in Athens, a fast-paced yarn with no yawns written with a fine combination of innocence and moxie.”

This compelling story is dedicated to young people of all cultures who are forced to deal with unexpected and sometimes overwhelming life changes. Emerson, a city kid, is looking forward to “the best summer ever” playing video games and hanging with his friends when the Air Force suddenly deploys his father to Afghanistan. His mother, who is about to start a new job, sends him to spend the summer at a sheep camp near Gallup with her Navajo father. The reader might expect the old man to make philosophical speeches about how to be one with nature, but this Grandpa barely speaks. And he actually expects his grandson to take responsibility and herd his mother’s sheep. The author supplies authentic internal kid monologues and a glossary of Navajo and Spanish words. The plot hinges on a stray dog Emerson is determined to adopt no matter how much trouble they both get into. Will Grandpa and Emerson bond? Will the boy get to keep the dog? Read and enjoy.

This beautiful revised and expanded edition celebrates the 40th anniversary of the return of Blue Lake from the U.S. Forest Service to Taos Pueblo. In evocative black and white photos, Keegan portrays the historic celebration and provides a window on what was, back in the 1970s, everyday life at Taos Pueblo: storytelling in front of the fireplace, hauling water from the Rio Pueblo, wood carving, drum making, baking bread. New material includes statements from past and current tribal leaders, reflections from Pueblo members, historic tribal statements at the 1970 Congressional hearings, and a photograph of President Richard Nixon with tribal Elders as he signed the Blue Lake Bill into law. Keegan is the author of other books on the Southwest and Pueblo cultures, the winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Eight Northern Pueblos, and the 2010 Governor’s Award for Outstanding New Mexico Women. She donates royalties from the sale of this book to Taos Pueblo Foundation.

If you’ve never ridden the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad up into the Rocky Mountains over 10,000 foot Cumbres Pass, it’s high time. Nothing beats standing in an open gondola with a big grin on your face as you roll past rugged cliffs and over the dramatic Toltec Gorge. A joy to thousands of tourists each year and an economic boost to the locals, this endangered narrow gauge line is one of the few left in the country. In the 1970s, it was purchased jointly by New Mexico and Colorado as a vital, ongoing part of Western history. This triumphant tale is a tribute to the staunch volunteers and friends of the railroad who stepped up and saved the line three times through a troubled past to present day. A must for libraries and fans of historic steam trains.

Vecinos BY CHRIS EBOCH

iny San Antonio is an unlikely gourmet haven. Yet people far and wide have heard of the fudge at the San Antonio General Store. Owner Anne Lund not only keeps the store open seven days a week, but also makes the fudge herself. Anne, a native of Denmark, came to the United States in 1986. After 10 years in Santa Barbara, she and her husband, Joe, wanted to move back to his home state to raise their children. Joe was born in Mountainair and went to school in the San Antonio area. According to Anne, they thought, “This would be a good place for the kids. They can ride horses and four-wheelers. We like the smaller community and smaller schools.” Once her two sons were in school, Anne looked for a part-time job. She wound up with a lot more when the general store came up for sale 10 years ago. A local lady started making the fudge years earlier, and the recipe gets passed down to each owner. Anne learned how to make fudge while she waited for the paperwork to go through on the sale. She had a restaurant in Denmark and made all the desserts. At the time, they didn’t have fudge in Denmark, and desserts in general are less sweet in Europe than in the United States. Perhaps that’s why Anne’s current favorite is the dark chocolate with caramel and sea salt. Despite her experience, the learning process is never over. She’s working on a red chile version. Anne says, “I haven’t yet mastered the chile one, but I’m going to. I’d like to find a way to make it really smooth.” The chile powder makes it too grainy. Among the 12 to 14 flavors at any given time are dark chocolate and milk chocolate with walnuts, rocky road, rum raisin, peanut butter, amaretto, and mint. Seasonal flavors include watermelon, root beer, and orange in the summer; and coffee and Irish coffee in the winter. Customers come from all over, Anne says, and she greets some of them by name. “A lot of people come from Socorro. People travel through from the

Anne Lund will soon m the perfect batch of red aster chile fudge. Ruidoso-Capitan area going to Albuquerque.” The Festival of the Cranes at the Bosque Del Apache is a busy time. “Visitors tend to come in the middle of the day and get the hand-dipped ice cream.” Because the store is mentioned in magazine articles and on blogs, even people from out-of-state have heard of the store. On the other hand, some people simply stop for gas and get a nice surprise when they find fudge, ice cream and homemade sandwiches, as well as the usual gas station snacks. Anne studied several languages when young, and sometimes gets to use those skills. “We get quite a few Germans because of the Alamogordo base. We also get Danes in the store, and they’re really surprised when I start speaking Danish. They ask, ‘How did you wind up here?’” Anne’s children are nearly grown. One is a junior in high school and the other recently graduated. But Anne has no plans to change her life. For a country store, “It can get hectic,” but Anne has a few “really good” employees, including Paula, who has been there since the first day. “I didn’t know anybody when I got the store, and now, Joe says, ‘You know everybody.’” Ready to satisfy your sweet tooth? You are in luck. Anne takes phone orders and ships fudge around the country. The San Antonio General Store is located on U.S. Highway 380 in San Antonio.
