About the July issue

We start out the July issue with a story from Pecos, New Mexico.

The Tarnoff Art Center in nearby Rowe, NM has orchestrated a special mural project with a colorful and informative painting on two sides of Adelo’s Town & Country Store in downtown Pecos. Gershon Siegel brings us “A Tail of Three Kitties” - you just have to read it! On page 12 (the Back Page of the Summer Guide) we bring you a photo story on “Shearing Days” at Que Sera Alpaca Ranch. Our “Side Trips” page offers a day trip starting in Las Vegas, then visiting Fort Union National Monument and the town of Mora (then back to Las Vegas for dinner and ???

Marty Gerber gives us another of his insightful blog pieces “Good riddance to creativity” and Kim Leonard tells us of her recent experience at Second Street Brewing at the Railyard in Santa Fe. Finally, the Kids Page features a listing of outdoor movie venues.

Here is an update from Milicient McFarland, author of her June commentary “Botanic Garden - or not?” about the Ortiz Mountain Preserve near Cerrillos, NM. The story referred to a meeting that would take place on June 4, 2015 in the Cerrillos Hills State Park Visitor Center between the docents of the preserve and representatives of Santa Fe County Open Space.

“The meeting with the county folk went well. They took information from the docents for about two hours, focusing on procedures and organization, etc.

They are working on a Transition plan to present to the (Santa Fe County) Commissioners on June 30th.

Supposedly, they will be contacting us for another short meeting before the 30th. I haven’t heard anything yet.

One aspect that needs to be clarified/emphasized is that the Ortiz Preserve is NOT a site that can be open all the time to the public.

This is a remote site, The only access is over a steep, two mile road owned by LAC Minerals, who still owns property surrounding the 1,350 acres of Preserve. Plus, I have been told that not all of the abandoned mines were filled in by the Bureau of mines, so it would be dangerous for folks to be wandering around there unescorted.

And then there is the issue of people coming in (if the gate was open all the time) with dogs or on horses or with guns, etc. Not good. “ Editor note: we will keep you posted as we learn more.

Classic motorcycle show returns to La Tienda in Eldorado for the fourth year.

Do You Have A Book?

Publish it Locally!

On Sunday, June 21, 2015 (Father’s Day) from 10 am to 3 pm at the La Tienda shopping plaza in Eldorado at Santa Fe, Motorado Motorcycle Club of Santa Fe will present its 4th Annual Motorado Classic Motorcycle Show.

Whether you are a motorcycle enthusiast or just looking for a fun afternoon, this is the place to be on Father’s Day. Nearly one hundred classic motorcycles from all over New Mexico as well as neighboring states will be on display. The bikes will be judged and awards presented to the best in their categories. This year the show will feature British marques, a class of British racing bikes. There will also be a new entry this year for a special class of Honda motorcycles, the CBX, which was a special 6-cylinder bike that was built by Honda for a few years in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Admission is free and open to all ages. You are encouraged to bring your camera to photograph these rare and beautiful motorcycles and chat with their owners to learn all about each bike. Many sponsors will display their products and services.

The Motorado Motorcycle Club is putting on this event to promote interest in vintage and classic motorcycles, and to help a good cause.

The club has sold sponsorships to individuals and businesses who wish to promote the show and help with the benefit. As in previous years the beneficiary of this event is the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society.

Gershon Siegel

A Column As I See ‘em: Barks, Growls and Howls from the Heartland of Southwest Suburbia

by Gershon Siegel

Socrates said, “By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.” Today’s version of this wisdom amounts to, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

No doubt the cynics among us will try to find a friend whose life has given him tequila.

But let’s face it; a trip to “Margaritaville” won’t help a bad marriage or any other situation needing serious attention. Denial, of course, can sing an alluring, if rather short Siren song, but it leaves us tied to mast, as it were. Much of life requires we negotiate hurdles or otherwise accommodate one bothersome adjustment after the other.

It’s true these excursions are not major expeditions into parts unknown. But left to my own inclinations, I might be forever content to bicycle up and down Herrada Road. After all, it’s just been paved and has been nominated for the best engineered two-lane in Santa Fe County.

Still, the beloved is not impressed and insists an occasional change of scenery is good for the both of us.

Yet, even a gerbil becomes bored at times and spins its wheel in the opposite direction. This must be one of the reasons I was attracted to my beloved. Keeping up with her, my intuition whispered, would require occasional forays from my comfort zone.

Two visitors to the Ortiz Mountain Preserve viewing the recovered gold mine.

Boys inspecting the reconstructed arrastra, once used for grinding the gold from ore.

Botanic Garden . . . or not?

by Millicent McFarland

When is a Botanic Garden not a garden? When it is the site of former gold mining from the 1880’s , high in the Ortiz Mountains above the Village of Cerrillos.

The Ortiz Mountain Educational Preserve, off Goldmine Road, is 1,350 acres of amazing habitat— both plant and animal. Historic artifacts abound, including ruins of a hotel, a three-hole outhouse, and remnants of the first NM rail line.

It is also considered a habitat for wild animals, including black bear, mountain lion and eagles.

A protected colony of Townsend Bats live there, using the mine tunnels for winter hibernation.

The Preserve also contains sacred sites of the Santo Domingo Pueblo.

But this unique place is currently off limits to the very taxpayers who paid $380,00 in 2007 to make it County Open Space.

Santa Fe Botanic Garden, who has managed it since 2001, abruptly abandoned the site, leaving the County to create a management plan.

Just like the former gold companies who stripped the gold from the land and left with their profits, SFBG took taxpayer money for land they had received free and then deserted the Preserve.

In a May 20, 2015 article by Thomas Ragan in the Santa Fe Reporter, Clayton Bass, CEO of the Santa Fe Botanic Garden, admitted that 80% of the $380,000 was used to finance the Museum Hill expansion.

The Ortiz docents, all volunteers, who have been leading tours and hikes at the site since 2001, are waiting to see if the County will keep the Ortiz accessible to the public. For fourteen years, visitors have been driven up the steep two-mile access road to the site to learn the history, geology and biology of this unique place. People of all ages and physical ability have been able to experience this high altitude refuge, reveling in the peace and beauty—because they were driven in private cars.

No accidents were reported in all this time. The County has been giving its tacit approval to these drives for the past seven years.

Santa Fe County Open Space will meet with Ortiz docents on Thursday, June 4 at 2:00 in the Cerrillos Hills State Park Visitor Center to discuss management plans. Let’s hope the County maintains the same level of accessibility as we have had for the past fourteen years.

Cafe Fina - 624 Old Las Vegas Highway -Santa Fe, NM

Café Fina by Anna Soeiro Recently my well-traveled father and stepmom came to visit and of course I had to take them to my favorite eateries. Cafe Fina was at the top of my list. Conveniently located between Santa Fe, where I work, and Pecos, where I live, I always enjoy stopping in for coffee to go or sitting down over quiche, Cloud Cakes or a flakey fried fish sandwich.

Art Loop began as a creative venture amongst artists 20 years ago and continues to be one of the most successful studio tours in New Mexico. Throughout Lincoln County artists will open their studios, demonstrate their craft and discuss their creative process creating much more than simply a vibrant art market.

Our hope is that your inner artist will come alive as you enjoy the finest art Lincoln County has to offer and let us give you a little glimpse into what makes us tick as artists.​ Many artists will be offering demonstrations in their studios.

“THE SANDIA MOUNTAINS - A SPIRITUAL RESOURCE” Essay and photos © 2015 by James A. Morris Would I have a choice I would stay here among the soft murmur of the forest and the transient, fleeting passages of animal life. In truth, I have no choice. But as the Sandia Puebloans claim this is where their spirituality is nurtured–so mine, so ours. Thus, to our benefit, this resource must be respected. We take with us some of the energy that is given by the mountain. We return to our world, perhaps with a sense of renewal after listening to the mountain.

It is early evening now. Thunder rumbles in the distance, the sound muted amidst flashes of heat lightning. Slipping beneath the lingering clouds, the last rays of silver light illuminate the tree tops, just for a moment. The noisy woodpecker is now silent, or may have moved farther away. Underground, surely there is a stirring in the burrows prior to nocturnal foraging.

JAMES A.MORRIS is a writer/photographer/artist and high plains wanderer.

Although a longtime conservationist, the author’s primary focus is how men, women, and their children are able to live in harmony with their natural surroundings today and tomorrow, whether rancher, suburbanite, hunter, urban dweller, construction worker, or merchant.

Dad’s Night Out I feel a little sorry for dads.

Listen. Hear me out. I know that moms generally handle the lion’s share of housework and child rearing in families, but moms, out of necessity (or desperation) usually know how to creatively do “Girls Night Out”. Getting together for a book club, mani/ pedi or glass of wine and tapas with the girls is something we ladies plan. Dads, however, have a tendency fall into a rut and go to the same sad tavern, meet a regular group for poker night or play a round of golf (again) with business associates.

I went on a Sunday for Happy Hour and had one of their daily $3.00 “Beery Specials”, a La Cumbre Hefeweizen, and the two for one appetizers, Sweet Tater fries with a walnut/honey mayo dipping sauce and Cabeza de Ajo, a roasted head of garlic with melted jack cheese, tomatillo salsa and crostini slices. The fries were perfectly seasoned, hot and crispy, and the garlic was buttery in texture and full of rich flavor.

My Hefeweizen washed down my appetizers nicely. When I finished my meal, I ordered another beer and joined a friend for In the interest of fathers in the a game of pool in the adjoining 505 who need to shake things pool room.
