Use cybersecurity smarts to safeguard information

e see TV storylines on cyber threats almost on a nightly basis. Digital technologies and smart devices are facilitating greater information sharing by allowing people (and devices) to more efficiently communicate with each other. Internet-connected devices not only better enable us to stay in touch with loved ones, but they simplify and streamline our lives by communicating with each other. Addressing the persistent and evolving reality of cyber threats is important for individuals and organizations alike. As people become increasingly interconnected and reliant on digital technologies, there are more opportunities for cyber threats that need to be addressed. To this end, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) launched RC3, the Rural Cooperative Cybersecurity Capabilities program, to help electric cooperatives build stronger cybersecurity programs. With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, RC3 is developing tools to help cooperatives develop a culture of cybersecurity. On November 13-14, Sandia National Laboratories (www.sandia.gov) will host two concurrent half-day classes and a full-day Summit on cybersecurity challenges facing electric cooperatives. The Summit and classes are offered as part of the NRECA’s RC3 program. These Summits and classes bring co-ops together to hear from industry experts on

cybersecurity and learn from each other in peer-to-peer discussions. NRECA will also discuss its $7.5 million, DOE-funded RC3 Program, focused on assisting small and medium-sized cooperatives that have few, or no, information technology staff. Input from attendees helps shape the RC3 program to ensure efforts are on target with co-op cybersecurity needs. New Mexico electric cooperatives, large and small, are investing time and resources to build stronger cyber defenses and increase their resiliency to cyberattacks. As co-ops ramp up capabilities on the beneficial use of digital technologies, they are integrating best practices to safeguard consumer data and grid operations from cyberattacks. Electric co-ops are responding to the challenge, but are you? Cybercrime affects everyone—organizations, businesses and even individuals. Taking steps to protect your home network and devices from cyberattacks now will save you time and money in the long run. Following are a few tips to beef up your personal cybersecurity: • Make sure you have antivirus software installed on your computer and remember to keep it updated. • Don’t send emails containing personal information, like your date of birth or Social Security Number, because that increases opportunities for mal-actors to steal your identity. Be careful when entering a credit card number into a website—if you do, make sure that it’s a secure website. You can tell if it’s secure by looking for the “s” at the beginning of the website address. Most begin with “http://.”

A secure site will begin with “https://.” • Attachments or links in an email can contain malware that can infect your computer. Never open an email attachment or click a link unless you know the person sending it, and you were expecting them to send it to you (hackers can take over an account and make it look like it’s from a friend). • Monitor children’s online activity, and make sure they know how to practice good cyber security. Visit the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team’s (UC-CERT) website for security tips on how to keep children safe online (https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ ST05-002). • Always use a different password for each account. Stick to longer passwords that include a combination of numbers, special characters, with both lowercase and capital letters. New Mexico electric cooperatives will do whatever they can to safeguard your account information and keep electricity affordable and reliable. We will pass on helpful tips to you— the Member. Because at the end of the day, we are all in this together.

energy sense by patrick keegan and brad thiessen

Efficient holiday lighting options LED bulbs can be used indoors or out and are an efficient way to provide bright, cheerful light. The amount of money you save depends on a number of factors.

Innovative decorating ideas: • Color-changing LED lights can cycle through colors in sequence and can be set to change colors to music. • A laser light projector sits on the ground or other flat surface and projects multi-colored patterns onto the wall of your house. Most include a timer function and may come with a remote control and additional features. • You can recreate the excitement of a laser light show (using LED lights) by installing a smart lighting system that creates pre-set or programmable light shows through your smart phone or other smart devices. • For maximum effect with the smallest amount of energy use, distribute the lighting across a broader space. In the spaces between light, add reflective ornaments and decorations to increase the effect of the lights and add interest.

ear Pat: My husband and I love decorating our home with holiday lights every year, but I feel guilty about the higher energy bill we get in January. How can we light up the holidays without wasting electricity? —Jessica Dear Jessica: It’s a shame holiday lighting can lead to higher energy bills, but the good news is, there are strategies that can save you money without dampening your holiday spirit! One of the best ways to save energy is LED lights, which use about 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. The amount of money you can save depends on a lot of factors, including your electric rate and how many hours your holiday lights are turned on. We’ve seen a number savings estimates in energy costs. One report said replacing five strings of traditional incandescent outdoor lights with LED bulbs could lower your bill from about $14 to 22 cents. Another report said replacing incandescent lights on a typical indoor tree with LED bulbs could

November 2018 • enchantment.coop

lower your monthly cost from $15 to $2. The reason incandescent bulbs are so inefficient is at least 90 percent of their energy is converted into heat, not light. LEDs, by contrast, convert virtually all their energy to light. This means up to 20 strings of LED lights can be linked together, whereas incandescent sets are typically limited to between three and five strings in a chain. The efficiency of LED lights also makes them safer because they generate so much less heat. Aside from their energy efficiency, LED lights can last longer—around 200,000 hours or more, which is about 25 times longer than incandescent lights. The bulb is more durable because it is made of an epoxy instead of glass. But not all LEDs are created equal. An LED that is not designed properly can flicker, change color or draw power even when it’s turned off. To avoid these problems, purchase Energy Star-rated LEDs. To qualify for the Energy Star rating, LED products must

use 75 percent less energy than incandescent lighting and pass a number of additional tests. The drawback of switching over to LED lights is the upfront cost. Incandescent bulbs can be purchased for 19 to 50 cents each, while a replacement LED will likely cost $1 or more. But one estimate we ran across showed the estimated cost of buying and operating standard C-9 lights for 10 seasons is $122 for incandescent bulbs and $18 for LEDs. Plus, the LED lighting is more likely to last the full 10 seasons, meaning less trips to the store! There are other ways to cut energy expenses. You can use decorative solar light sets, which store energy during the day and release light during the night. Timers are also a good idea because they can reduce energy use, especially if you don’t always remember to turn the lights off before bedtime. Innovative decorating ideas can make your display more dynamic and interesting, which might help you get by with fewer lights. These could reduce energy costs and still keep your holidays bright. See info box for ideas. Here’s to helping you raise your holiday spirits without giving you the budget blues in January!

The 40 Eridani Star

rom the perspective of planet-watching, the evening skies of November are distinctly quieter than they have been the previous months. Venus is gone, and Jupiter is all but gone. It is visible low in the dusk for the first few days of the month but disappears into the bright sky soon after. Mercury joins Jupiter for a brief appearance early in November before it, too, disappears into twilight. Saturn is visible low in the southwest after the end of dusk but sets about an hour or so later. Mars is well placed for viewing, and is in the southern sky around the end of dusk and sets around midnight. Although moderately bright, Mars continues to fade. Venus passed between Earth and the sun in late October, and now races ahead of Earth as the two worlds travel in their respective orbits. By the beginning of November, Venus is visible low in the dawn, and climbs rapidly in the morning sky, rising over three hours before sunrise by month’s end. Through

binoculars or a small telescope, Venus initially appears as a very large but very thin crescent. A semi-fictitious planet has been in the news, one that is especially fascinating for Star Trek aficionados. Although never formally identified, astronomy-minded fans, including Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry, have identified a star known as 40 Eridani as the likely parent sun of the planet Vulcan, homeworld of Mr. Spock. 40 Eridani, which is a little over 16 light-years away from us, is somewhat smaller than our sun and can be found in the constellation Eridanus, to the southwest of the prominent constellation Orion now in the southeast during the evening hours. It is actually a triple-star system: in addition to the main star, there is a red dwarf/white dwarf pair that orbits the main star at an average distance of 10 times Pluto’s distance from our sun (and which would make a striking sight in the fictional Vulcan’s sky). A few months ago, a survey program based in

The 40 Eridani system. The primary star is in the center (the bright “spikes” are artifacts in the image), and the red dwarf/white dwarf pair is to its left. Image courtesy of Las Cumbres Observatory and The Earthrise Institute.

Arizona, which is designed to detect planets around other stars, announced the apparent discovery of a planet orbiting the main star of the 40 Eridani system. It appears to be what is called a “super-Earth,” being about twice the size of Earth and about eight times as massive as our home planet. It orbits close to its parent star, and thus should be warm—as Vulcan is supposed to be—but it would seem unlikely any logical intelligent beings could live there. If they do, they would have to be strong to overcome their world’s high surface gravity, which would be about twice of Earth’s.

An electric co-op mission to hire veterans By Paul Wesslund, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association

lectric cooperatives are working to make even better use of a powerful source of energy— military veterans. “Veterans, active military and their spouses are some of our greatest assets as employees,” says Michelle Rostom, director of workforce development for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). “They are mission-driven. When we think about providing safe, reliable and affordable power, we know our veterans––whatever their job––are focused on making sure we are operating safely, and that we are creating a reliable electric network for co-op members.” Rostom spends a lot of her time getting more veterans hired by electric

co-ops in her role as program manager for NRECA’s initiative called “Serve Our Co-ops; Serve Our Country.” The program launched in January 2016 “to honor and employ veterans,” says Rostom. Since then, the program has been forming a coalition of co-ops and other groups to focus attention on the benefits of hiring veterans, and to actually hire more veterans. In announcing the program, Jim Matheson, CEO of NRECA, says, “Our military veterans deserve our unending gratitude for their service to our country, on Veterans Day and every day. Veterans possess many of the qualities sought by electric co-ops, including a deep commitment to service and an uncompromising work

ethic. More than 200,000 service members transition out of the military to civilian life each year, and we’d like to tap into that talent to help fill the thousands of co-op jobs opening up.” Hiring veterans is certainly a decent thing to do, but Rostom lists why it makes business sense as well. “They understand their role and they go out and execute it,” she says. “They bring leadership skills, they work in teams and look out for each other in that kind of ‘brotherhood.’ They work in all types of weather. They are disciplined. They show up on time.” The initiative grew out of broader strategic planning by NRECA. That plan envisioned that 25,000 jobs at electric co-ops would need to be filled

Air Force Captain Jeremiah Sloan was the first official veteran hire of NRECA’s Serve Our Co-ops; Serve Our Country initiative. Sloan is an engineer at Craighead Electric Cooperative in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

applying for our jobs,” says Rostom. Part of that work has been developing and distributing information aimed at connecting veterans with co-op jobs. A series of three checklists helps guide electric co-ops in setting up a veteran hiring effort. The checklists show co-ops how to recognize veterans, contact groups in their communities for broad-based effectiveness and bring attention to the skills and abilities veterans offer. Serve Our Co-ops; Serve Our Country also started a group called “Veterans in Energy,” a professional organization to go beyond hiring, by helping veterans transition into the energy workforce. Military spouses make up another often-overlooked resource, says Rostom. “You’ll get resumés for a spouse, and they will have big gaps in their experience,” she says. “They’ve put their career path on hold to follow their spouse around the world with the military, so don’t just discount that resumé.” Rostom says, “They’ve had to move their family probably 10 times over the past 15 years, so they have to plan, they have to find housing, schools, medical care — and they’re doing that without their spouse, who is deployed somewhere. Rostom continues, “They are a phenomenal group of untapped talent we should consider. When you see that resumé, it doesn’t say military spouse, but I think it should. It totally changes the game—it shows the potential employer why their career has been put on hold. They are smart, educated, they are project managers, they work with diverse groups of people. They’re an untapped group of talent that we don’t always think about.” Through Serve Our Co-ops; Serve Our Country, electric co-ops are better positioned to increase their veteran workforce and support local veteran communities.

Meet three men of many who served in the United States Armed Forces.

A Salute to All Who Served By Florence Dean

n November 11, veterans across the country will be honored and thanked for their service in the United States Armed Forces, including those who served in World War II (WW II). Many veterans who served in WW II enlisted in their teens; often saying they were older just to join the armed forces. Three WW II veterans live in Otero County. Each recalls the before and after of electrification. Clarence E. Evans experienced a period without electricity in Washington State when his family spent a year in a house without power while working picking apples. Bob Blount, raised in Texas, realized about 1934 that the advent of electricity in Nacogdoches did not extend to the segregated part of his town. And Fred Ballek remembers living in New Hampshire with no electricity or indoor plumbing until rural electrification came to town from the neighboring Deep River Electric Cooperative. Clarence E. Evans: Up to an E-9 Some young men who volunteered to fight in World War II were barely out of childhood and so anxious to fight they said they were older. Clarence E. Evans, who prefers to be known as just “Evans,” at age 15 was tired of milking a cow on the family farm in McCleary, Washington. After Pearl Harbor, he tried to convince his father to sign a letter stating his age was 16, to no avail. Instead, he left home and hitchhiked to Bremerton, Washington to work in the U.S. Navy shipyard. A year later, he finally persuaded his father to sign a paper aging him by a year. He enlisted in 12

the U.S. Navy at Seattle, Washington on December 7, 1942, exactly one year after Pearl Harbor. Evans served through WW II in the South Pacific as a ship fitter, then studied to become a ship’s cook. For four years he was in the Navy Reserves, then called to active duty during the Korean War and subsequently during the Vietnam War. Working through ranks to an E-9, the Navy’s highest enlisted grade, Evans retired master chief commissary man on March 10, 1970, after 22 years active duty and four years reserve duty. After retirement, he remained in Okinawa for the next 10 months, then moved to Hawaii with his family. Employed as a salesman by a London-based company, he worked with commissaries, exchanges and clubs as vice president in the Pacific. In Hawaii, working with Webco he was in charge of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, and Bangkok. Returning to the United States, Evans called a small ranch in Arizona home, ultimately moving to High Rolls in 1991. He designed and helped build his mountain home, where he lives with his wife, Alice. His daughter lives nearby, and he has a large extended family. Still very active at 92, Evans says of his years in the Navy, “It was a very, very good life.” Fred J. Ballek: Marine of the Year Another young man determined to join the armed forces after Pearl Harbor, had his parents’ support. Fred J. Ballek enlisted on St. Patrick’s Day in 1943 at age 17, beginning his Marine career by joining the Navy’s Special V-12 Program. He went to Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina. During World War II, Ballek served in the invasion of Okinawa and the occupation of the Japanese homeland with the U.S. 6th Fleet Operations serving aviation refueling trucks and aircraft. A private first class when released from active duty in 1946,

Ballek was promoted to corporal in the Marine Corps Reserve. At the Fort Trumbull campus of the University of Connecticut, the New London Submarine Base, Ballek graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in economics on June 12, 1950. On June 25, the North Koreans crossed the 38th parallel. At Camp Lejeune, he was promoted to buck sergeant in the Marines. Because his wife requested he leave the military, he resigned and went back to Connecticut. There he remained in the reserves, returning to the university for a short course in Bovine Economics—an interest he had held since high school. Number one in his class, he was offered a job which lasted a year. In active duty reserves as a junior officer into second lieutenant, Ballek went to Officer Candidate School and was assigned to troops landing in Korea with the 8th Motor Transport, Heavy Vehicles; then served as company commander in the 8th Motor Transport. In 1955, he was accepted to integrate to the Regular Marine Corps and sent to Philadelphia. In 1962, Ballek was transferred to the 3rd Marine Division in Okinawa and Japan with the 9th Motor Transport, promoted to captain, and by 1963 made major and battalion executive officer. Back in the United States, Ballek was assigned to the 1st Marine Division of the 7th Motor Battalion as commanding officer. On January 3, 1966, the whole battalion moved out for Vietnam and was stationed in Chu Lai; Ballek stayed until early 1967 as a major, executive officer, completing his overseas service. He returned to the Marine Barracks at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as the commanding officer and was discharged from the

Marine Corps in 1970 with 26 years of service. His proud parents, who had approved his enlisting in the service, were present at his retirement ceremony. As a civilian, Ballek served as a selectman in East Haddam, Connecticut, then 15 years as chief of security, and as a truck driver for a local company. Retired Maj. Fred J. Ballek, lives in Alamogordo with his daughter and son-in-law, who are members of Otero County Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Cloudcroft. He is active in the Marine Corps League. These veterans provide an Honors Detail in uniform for military funerals, including rifle volley, taps and flag presentation as requested. Ballek was honored as Marine of the Year for 20182019 by the Marine Corps League in New Mexico. And, when asked about his years as a Marine, Ballek says, “I enjoyed every minute of it.” Robert P. Blount: Flying the Regulus Missile Robert P. Blount began college at Steven F. Austin Teachers College in his hometown of Nacogdoches, Texas, in the fall of 1941. He was 17, and his World War II service meant it would be five years before he returned to finish his Bachelor in Business Administration degree. After Pearl Harbor, Blount enlisted in the V-5 Aviation Cadet Program receiving his wings and a commission as a naval aviator. He trained on aircraft carriers on Lake Michigan and was commissioned an Ensign, joining a Replacement Air Group flying SP2C Hell Divers. He was on his way to bomb Tokyo when the Enola Gay (a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets) carrying the first atomic bomb effectively ended World War II.

Remaining on active duty until 1946, Blount got married in October 1948 and returned to Active Navy Duty, joining two squadrons of night fighters at Key West. Later at Barbers Point, Hawaii, he was attached to the new Naval Holloway Program as a reserve officer. He returned to active duty as an Ensign, joining a Direct Procurement Program and spent three years at Key West with the Fleet All Weather Training Unit, training night fighter pilots in the Korean War. He was commissioned lieutenant 03, went on to Line School (Officer Training School) and was again promoted to lieutenant commander before deploying aboard the USS Philippine Sea. With the GMGRUI Guided Missile group, Blount flew the first remote controlled vehicles (drones): the Regulus Missile, and was assigned to the Corvus Missile Program on the USS Bennington for two years as a test pilot. His next tour was to Japan and the Fleet Technical Support Squadron as an aircraft handling officer, then as project manager for the Standard Arm Missile Program. Blount was commissioned lieutenant commander 04 and deployed to White Sands Missile Range testing the Navy’s Standard Arm. With 26 years of service, Blount retired from the U.S. Navy in 1968 as a lieutenant commander, and for the next 17 years, worked at White Sands Teledyne Ryan Aeronautics, returning to the Philippines for two years. After living in Las Cruces for two years, Blount moved to Alamogordo in 2010 where he lives with his wife, Karen. Throughout his Navy career and since retirement, Blount has played “a lot of golf,” he says, and has several trophies. Our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all our veterans in appreciation for their service and sacrifice. enchantment.coop • November 2018

Stress is Relative: Memoir of an Air Traffic Controller

What Makes a Rainbow?

By Rose Marie Kern • Solar Ranch Publishing • solarranch@swcp.com • amazon.com

By Ross Van Dusen • Rio Grande Books • 505-344-9382 • lpdpress.com

This unique memoir reveals the life and struggles of a female air traffic controller in a mostly male profession. Kern has won three national awards for her work with pilots and aviation computer engineers. She also writes monthly columns for seven aviation publications and has published a previous book: Air to Ground, about the FAA, Air Traffic Control and pre-flight weather. At the age of 27, Kern was a divorcee struggling to provide a secure and healthy life for her two daughters. Then came the Air Traffic Controller’s strike when President Reagan fired 11,000 controllers. When the TV showed their salary chart, Kern saw they were making 10 times as much as she was at the bank. “With the blind luck of youth, I stumbled into a career that I had never dreamed existed.” She excelled at math and memorization and stuck up for herself when she was sexually harassed by male counterparts. Bravo!

Xylotheque: Essays By Yelizaveta Renfro • University of New Mexico Press • 800-848-6224 • unmpress.com

“Xylotheque” means “wood” and “repository.” These exquisite essays, loosely connected by Renfro’s resonance with trees, inform us through a variety of settings that serve as counterpoints in the duality of paired opposites. She is walking in a petrified forest in Arizona, trying to reconcile the reality of trees both here and gone. To her peers in America she looks Russian; to the girls in a Soviet Youth Camp, she looks American. Her mother insists she speak to her in Russian, their native language, but she resists. For years, she wrestles with both Russian and English, trying to close the gap between them. Thanks to her mother, she is able to tour Petersburg alone, to see ghosts of famous Russian authors lurking in the alleys, in the mist. “I always knew that I would return here, to this place I had never been…” A place she knows from movies and Russian literature—her bedtime stories. “All art is translation,” she says. Five stars! 16

This whimsical science book is part of a children’s series, this one about rainbows. Jason, a curious little fellow in a yellow slicker, thinks rainbows might be made by a rainbow machine called a Gubely Subely with wheels that spin around and spit out colored ink. But no, it’s because the sky is full of tiny drops of moisture smaller than the eyes of a ladybug. When the storm is over and the sun pours through the invisible drops, they “act as a prism” and split the light into vibrant bands of color, which is called “the spectrum.” So the source of the rainbow is guess what? The sun shining through the mist. At the back of the book is a page to help adults answer children’s endless questions like, “Why is the rainbow machine called the Gubely Subely? In 1893 at the Chicago World’s Fair, Mr. Harry Gubley and Army General Melvin Subley had an idea… But hey! Read it yourself and laugh.

A co-op helps members stay energy efficient By Ariana Kramer

ince 2014, Central Valley Electric Cooperative (CVEC), headquartered in Artesia, has contracted with the New Mexico Energy$mart Program (via the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority) to provide eligible members with assistance in making their homes more energy efficient. The program targets low-income members of the Co-op, with the goal of lowering their monthly electric bill. “Anytime we have a person who might be struggling with getting electric bills paid, we refer them to LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program),” says Leah Boone, the Co-op’s member services supervisor. “If they’re eligible for LIHEAP, they may be eligible for the Energy$mart program. I make contact with the member to see if we can help. If they qualify, I give them an application for the program. The member submits the application directly to Energy$mart. They determine who is eligible.” The New Mexico Energy$mart Program helps individuals and families based on their circumstances. A common need is to replace windows or doors, and/or seal to prevent drafts. Another is to fix or replace a faulty furnace. The program also switches out light bulbs to energy-efficient LED lights, installs carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, and adds insulation.

Cooperative Principle 7 Concern for Community

Cooperatives are committed to improving the communities they call home.

One family recently received a new door, new windows and a new water heater. Another individual was helped with reskirting his mobile home, replacing windows, replacing a floor vent, and other repairs to improve the energy efficiency of the home. When Lorenzo and Carol Herrera’s home was flooded, there was inte-

rior and exterior damage. They were able to receive help through the Energy$mart Program as well as New Mexico Gas Company. The work on their home included replacing doors and windows, duct work, sealing window AC units, installing a new refrigerator, and closing off the fireplace which was not in use. Boone emphasizes with home improvements, there are verified differences in the energy bills of the Co-op members. “We proved in the

first year of the program, that it does make a difference in how much our members pay,” Boone says. Mortgage Finance Authority’s New Mexico Energy$mart Program states on its website, homes receive an average of $5,500 in energy efficiency upgrades, for a utility cost savings of $350 to $500 each year. Services are available to homeowners and renters.

Renters must have the landlord sign an agreement before weatherization work can begin. Eligibility for the program is income based. Those eligible must have an income that is at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. Priority is given to the lowest income households, with preference given to persons over 60 years of age, persons with disabilities, and in some cases families with children. Families receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) are automatically eligible for the program. The program receives financial support from the Department of Energy, LIHEAP, and utility companies. Funds are awarded to community agencies, nonprofit organizations or local governments through a request for proposals. For contact details, see information box below.

usiness is good and steady for Ranger Lujan and Joe Martinez at Santa Fe's New Old Trail Garage. Customers stop by every few minutes. One was a young lady with a truck. She asked, “Is it my lucky day yet?” Lujan looked through a log and told her it would have to be next week. “You're a popular guy, Ranger,” she says. The woman's vehicle is a 1939 Dodge body on a 2014 Ford Ranger chassis. The garage also worked on photography dealer Andrew Smith's Studemino hybrid. When he picked it up, Smith remembered, “When I was a kid, this was a Humble station, then it became Enco, then Exxon. Ranger used to fix my mother's Nova.” That was in the garage's previous incarnation. The Old Trail Garage closed in 2009. Lujan had worked there for 28 years and Martinez for 17. Property owner William Parker had the idea of selling the land for development, but nothing came of the idea. “Some guy wanted to buy the place, but he didn’t want the gas tanks or the pumps or the lifts, so everything was taken out,” Lujan says. “Then he backed out of the deal, just walked away.” 18

s and a Turtleback ,

o t ries, Mot S : k l a T p or o

He and Martinez (former and current members, respectively, of Mora-San Miguel Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Mora) reopened the garage located at 600 Old Santa Fe Trail in May 2010. They didn’t sell gas anymore, but Lujan put in two new lifts, fixed the driveway where the tanks had been excavated, and painted and fixed the interior and exterior. He and Martinez install motors, in addition to brake jobs, oil changes, new starters, CV shafts, water pumps, electrical issues, and much more, “anything you can think of,” Lujan says. But they don’t do ring and valve jobs. “We don’t have the space. This is the way they made the stations back then—smaller.” Lujan's father had a Phillips 66 service station for 42 years a few blocks up the road, at the location of today's Martinizing Dry Cleaning and GreenEarth Cleaning. The walls of Lujan's little office hold a framed photo of his dad and a Phillips 66 representative standing at that station next to a 1975 Ford Ranchero. His dad won the car-pickup in a Phillips 66 competition based on the number of cans of oil sold. Those walls are filled with car stuff, including a wheel clock Lujan's grandkids gave him and a trophy that Martinez won

for his black 1950 Plymouth Turtleback. That beauty is just one of the classic automobiles and trucks you might see on the lot. “We worked on a 1934 Ford a couple of weeks ago, also a ‘52 Chevy pickup.” How did Lujan first get into this business? “I used to work at my dad's station, since I was six years old. I was just helping him pump gas and taking orders from him. Then little by little I started taking parts off cars and then he started having me put parts back on. That's how I learned.” “I’ve been doing this all my life. So has Joe. He started with his dad, who ran a gas station at the corner of Washington and Marcy. It was a Gulf station, then it was Rudy's Exxon,” says Lujan. The last gas station in the heart of downtown Santa Fe, it opened in 1929 and closed in June 1992. Like everywhere else, the state capital

has seen a reduction in gas stations in the last 50 years. Once upon a time, attendants used to pump your gas, wash your windshield, and check your oil. “We were the last full-service station in Santa Fe,” Lujan says about the Old Santa Fe Garage. Asked about funny stories over the years, he says, “Every day there's one or two. Sometimes it's funny stuff that people do to their cars. We have one customer, a nice man who's probably in his 90s—he decided to fill his windshield washer tank with water and instead filled the gas tank. So they had to tow it here and we had to drain the tank and replace the fuel pump.” Martinez adds, “A few years ago, we had a lady who almost made it a drivethrough. She drove through the back wall.” “That was a rough night,” Lujan says.
