A CROSSROAD FOR NEW MEXICO'S LAND

DUNN RIGHT!LAND MANAGEMENT

New Mexico voters have a choice this November. Will the next four years continue the extreme environmental actions from the State Land Commissioner that have cost New Mexico jobs?

I'm running for the office of State Land Commissioner because this State deserves a Land Commissioner who understands that optimizing the responsible use of our natural resources is how we put money into our permanent fund for education as well as create opportunities for industries to add jobs.

Under my leadership, we'll restore appropriate use of the state lands that include timber resources. We'll ensure sound land management that reduces wildfire risk and sediment runoff, with practices that add employment to our mountain communities.

Sound land management reduces the risk of wildfires.

Bonita Lake, a water source for Alamogordo,is clogged with sediment following the devastating Little Bear fire.

As a businessman and rancher, I'll work for long-term sustainability of New Mexico’s public lands, which make up 47% of our state. I’ll balance the environmental needs of our state lands, our wildlife and our natural resources, with an understanding of economic development and purposeful revenue growth for New Mexico schools. I'll stand up against the extreme environmentalism and special interests that are infringing on private property owners and taking jobs away from our citizens.

Good Summer Member Owners!

How are your savings? I hope your summer has been filled with great friends and family. Jim Dulley

discusses water heaters on page 10. I want to elaborate on how to drain the whole tank. First turn off the

power supply. Then turn off the water supply (usually found on the cold water side going into the tank).

Then get a hose that will reach outside or to the nearest bathtub. Attach the hose to the valve at the

bottom of the heater. This will drain the minerals and sediment from the heater.

On electric heaters (only), check the anode rod. It is found on the top of the tank sometimes under

the top cover of the heater. If it is covered with sediment or is in bad shape replace it. There are different

sizes so get the right one; and for tight places, there are collapsible anode rods. An anode rod is made

with different metals so the minerals will attack it and save your tank. You will need a socket 11/16 in size

and a pipe to help with leverage. Or, just have your licensed plumber do it (much easier). Close the drain

valve, remove the hose and turn the fill valve back on. Give the water a little time to reheat. Then go to

sleep knowing you just added some life to your water heater. Repeat every year on the same day!

As always, check with your electric co-op for rebates. That’s all for this guy. Until next time keep

saving! If you have any questions, send me an e-mail at [email protected]

Straight 2 the Point — Energy Saving$with Robert Adams

Electric Co-ops Lead in Satisfied ConsumersDespite an industry-wide drop in electric utility consumer satisfaction, electric cooperatives have kept a clear lead over investor-owned and munici-pal electric utilities, according to the 2014 American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI.

Overall, co-ops received a customer satisfaction score of 81 on a 100-point scale. Touchstone Energy-affiliated cooperatives also received a score of 81, while those co-ops unaffiliated with Touchstone Energy received a score of 80. Municipal (munis) utilities received a score of 76 and investor-owned (IOUs) utilities received a score of 75.

“Smaller, rural cooperative utilities hold a strong lead over the other utility categories,” ACSI states.

Customer satisfaction with gas and electric utilities overall fell 1.8 percent

compared with 2013 scores. Individual utilities dropped by as much as 5 percent. ACSI blamed some of this on an unusu-ally harsh winter and price increases.

When consumers were asked to rate the ability of their utility “to provide reliable electric service,” electric cooperatives scored the highest at 89, followed by municipal utilities at 87 and IOUs at 85. Electric co-ops also led in perceived quality of service at 85, fol-lowed by IOUs at 82 and munis at 81.

The report was based on phone and e-mail interviews conducted between October 2013 and March 2014.

Beware of Scams Scammers are still at it. Co-ops are warning members about a nationwide scam in which callers falsely identify themselves as co-op representatives, threatening members that electric ser-vice will be disconnected unless pay-

ment is made with a Green Dot Money Pak pre-paid card.

Your cooperatives do not partner with any vendors to collect bills in this manner. Never provide personal, confi-dential, or financial information to any unidentified individual.

La Plata Electric Association in Colorado recently reported a member who received a phone call where the caller claimed to be from UPS and in need of information to deliver a check from the local co-op to the member.

“He said the man had a very heavy Jamaican accent. It was the one thing that made him think a little bit,” said Betsy Lovelace, manager of the Durango-based co-op’s call center. The caller ID also indicated a Jamaica area code. “This customer would not talk to the man. He hung up on him. The man called him back three different times,” said Lovelace.

The Better Business Bureau has warned about Jamaican scammers asking for bank account information, and others who insist money has to be paid using a Green Dot prepaid card.

Members who think they may have been a target of the Green Dot scam or other scams are encouraged to report

this to their local police department and electric co-op.

How Much Energy Does it Take to Keep Us Mobile?Many people have cell phones these days. They are also buying additional mobile electronic devices such as iPods, MP3 players, and electronic tablets.

Each of these devices consume a small amount of electricity when charging. In fact, it takes less than $1.50 a year to provide the estimated 11.9 kilowatt-hours of electricity an iPad 3 needs on an annual basis, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). It takes less than 50 cents a year to keep an iPhone charged.

But when you multiply these amounts times the tens of millions of devices being used, it adds up. According to an EPRI study, the 67 million iPads alone that had been sold worldwide at the time of the study use an estimated 590 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year. Comparable to the energy used by 3,000 U.S. homes.

In today’s world, you won’t find many items that cost less than $5. You can purchase a gallon of

milk, a gallon of gas or a latte from your favorite coffee house. But did you know an average day’s worth of electricity costs less than $5?

Even in our country’s shifting energy climate, electricity remains a good value. In fact, electricity has about the same cost per day of any of the items listed above. And not all of those items are necessary for daily life!

Here in New Mexico, the aver-age monthly residential electric bill, depending on your co-op, ranges from $65 on the low end to $105 on the high end. This is $2 to $4 a day, for a service you use 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We should ask ourselves what other service are we as depended on, yet only costs us $2 to $4 a day.

We should all think about our daily necessities (electricity and gas-oline, to name a couple), and then think about the cost of the special treats we allow ourselves to pur-chase on a weekly basis (maybe even on a daily basis for some items). We don’t often question the cost of

a flavored coffee drink—it costs as much to buy that drink as it does to purchase a day’s worth of power. And yet, we frequently become upset if our electricity rates rise.

It makes sense; we have become increasingly reliant upon electric-ity. Electricity has, for many of us, gone from a luxury commodity to a necessity and an expectation. We expect the lights to come on when we flip the switch, and we expect our power to stay on during the best and worst conditions.

How else would we keep our food fresh, our homes cool in the summer or warm in the winter? It is easy to cut a guilty pleasure out of your spending routine here and there to save a few dollars. But we cannot simply cut electricity out of our budgets if times get tough or we decide we want to scale back our spending in order to save.

Perhaps that is why it is so upset-ting to us when our rates increase, even if only in small increments. It is nearly impossible for us to think about what our lives would be like if we did not have electricity. If at times it doesn’t seem electricity is affordable, remember—even as

the demand for electricity grows—annual cost increases still remain low, especially when compared to other consumer goods such as medical care, education, gasoline and, yes, even lattes. Electricity is still a great bargain.

And, also remember this, your local electric cooperative is commit-ted to making sure all of its mem-bers have safe, reliable and afford-able electric service in their homes and communities.

So the next time you crave a latte, remember your electric bill, and think about what a great deal you’re getting for your dollar!

August 1974: Mosquero: The Mini Seat of Harding County. Mosquero, about half way between Raton and Tucumcari, is located on a mesa where buffalo once roamed, and antelope still feed. As the population of the area increased, the need for a closer county seat became more urgent. In 1921, Harding County was created from parts of Union and Mora Counties, with Mosquero as the county seat.

August 1994: Energy Saving Hints. Did you know that more than 16 percent of the electric-ity you use in your home goes into lighting? It’s easy to use more light than you need. Most of us actually over illuminate our homes. One way to save electricity is to “light-zone” your home. This means concentrating light in your reading and working areas, and in places where it is needed for safety or security.

10 Years Ago

August 2004: Rodeo: It Begins with the Kids. It’s rodeo time across New Mexico. Kids from school age to 19 are busy across New Mexico and into Texas and Oklahoma, hoping to earn enough points to get into the High Plains Junior Rodeo (HPJR) Finals at Clovis. In 1974, a group of New Mexico parents decided to create their own rodeo circuit. Their efforts gave rise to the High Plains Junior Rodeo. Thirty years later, HPJR is a non-profit organization with over 350 members.

Planet viewing during August primarily consists of two

showings of two planets each, one in the evening sky, the other in the morning.

In the evening sky are Mars and Saturn, with Mars the lower of the two. As the month progresses, Mars closes the gap, and on the evenings of the 23rd through the 26th they are fairly close together, after which Mars becomes the higher of the two. During their meeting, the two worlds are almost of equal brightness, although Mars is more noticeable due to its dis-tinctive red color.

Over in the morn-ing sky, Venus, which

has risen at the beginning of dawn for the past few

months, sinks closer to the hori-zon on its way passing behind the sun as seen from Earth.

Meanwhile, Jupiter, which passed behind the sun last month, is now climbing into the morn-ing sky. On Monday morning, August 18, Venus and Jupiter will pass each other and form a spec-tacular conjunction in the grow-ing dawn. This is the closest these two worlds will be to each other (as seen from our vantage point here on Earth) in over a decade.

The Perseid meteors, one of the strongest of the annual meteor showers, should reach their peak on the night of August 11-12. Unfortunately, the moon will be at its full-phase the previous

night, and thus the skies will be washed out in moonlight. Under good conditions the Perseids can produce as many as 60 to 100 meteors per hour, but this year sky-watchers will probably see less than half that number.

One intriguing astronomi-cal event takes place this month that is not visible with any tele-scope on Earth. The European Space Agency’s Rosetta space-craft, launched back in 2004, arrives at its destination, Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, on August 6. At that time Rosetta will go into orbit around the comet, and will study it intensely for the next sixteen months. A small probe will touch down on the comet’s nucleus in November.

The comet, which was discov-ered by two Russian astronomers in 1969, will be closest to the

sun, 116 million miles away, in August of 2015, at which time it will be visible in larger backyard telescopes. Rosetta’s overall mis-sion is to study the comet as it becomes active when approach-ing the sun, and then as it “shuts down” when receding back to the more distant solar system.

Energy Sense BY JAMES DULLEY

Give Your Electric Water Heater an Efficiency Boost

Dear Jim: My 80-gallon electric water heater is old, but does not

leak. Since it is old, I imagine there are some things I can do to make it operate more efficiently. What improvements do you recommend? — Ron H.

Dear Ron: Heating domestic hot water is one of the greatest contributors to your monthly utility bills. For a typi-cal family or four, it is not unusual for water heating to consume 20 to 25 percent of the total annual energy use.

An electric water heater is a very simple device. It is basically a big insulated tank of water with an upper and a lower resistance-heating ele-ment. The lower element is the main one used. When most of the hot water has been used, the lower one goes off. The upper one then comes on to supply hot water more quickly since the water is drawn from the tank top.

Even if you do not use any hot water, the lower element will cycle on at times to make up the heat lost through the tank walls (called standby losses). Heat can also be lost through the tank’s piping, especially if the tank is without heat traps. Your older water heater likely just

has a couple of inches of fiberglass insulation between the glass-lined metal tank and the external skin.

Insulating the water tank: Place the back of your hand against the water heater tank near the top or on the top. If it feels warm, it is losing heat, and adding an insulation wrap kit would be effective and save money. With a tall 80-gallon tank, the insulation wrap may not reach all the way down to the floor. This is okay because the majority of the heat loss is from the upper part of the tank.

If you have some old fiberglass wall insulation, just wrap it around the tank with the vapor barrier facing to the outside. Putting a layer of reflec-tive radiant barrier over the insula-tion also helps. You can install your own insulation, but a kit from a home improvement store is roughly $20, easy to install and includes instruc-tions (get one with an insulating value of at least R-10). If you DIY, it is more important to tape and seal the joints in the insulation (where the insulation on the top meets the sides) to create an air-tight barrier. Fiberglass insulation is only effec-tive if you prevent air from passing through it.

Draining the water tank: At least once a year, drain a gallon of water

from the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. This will flush out sediment, which col-lects there. Sediment insulates the water from the heating ele-ment. This is more important to do with a gas or propane water heater, but it also helps some on an electric one.

Managing the water tem-perature: It is important to keep the water temperature as low as possible. A greater tem-perature difference between the hot water and the air in your basement or utility room increases the tank standby losses. During the summer, these losses heat up your house and make your air con-ditioner run longer, creating a double energy expense.

Check the temperature of the hot water at a faucet where you use the most hot water. If you keep it so hot that you have to mix much cold with it to tolerate the temperature, it is too hot. Turn off the electricity to the water heater before making adjustments.

Feel the temperature of the hot water outlet and cold-water inlet pipes. If they are fairly warm, it means hot water, because it is less dense, is natu-rally circulating upward and cooling off. Put tubular foam insulation on the water heater inlet and outlet water pipes to minimize the heat loss. This type of insulation is split on one side, making it easy to install over the pipes. Insulate the first 4 to 6 inches of the

exposed piping.Installing a timer: Installing

a water heater timer can be effective if your work schedule means you typically do not use

hot water during a longer regular time period. This keeps the heating elements from coming on. The tem-perature should not drop much on a well-insulated tank. Check with your electric co-op regarding load manage-ment programs. They can identify the times of day when the demand for electricity is less.

If you end up deciding to get a new electric water heater, select a 12-year warranty model. These have higher R-value foam insulation in the tank walls than a cheaper 6-year model. Also, most of the 12-year models have electronic digital controls, which sim-plify setting the hot water temperature. They also have a vacation-mode setting to save electricity when you travel.

Heat pump water heaters should also be considered if you’re looking to make a purchase. These water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another rather than generat-ing heat directly. While they tend to cost more initially, they have lower operating costs, which can save you money in the long run.

He was just a tiny bear cub, barely 5 pounds, and in 1950 when firefighters

found him clinging to a burning tree in the Capitan mountain range in the Lincoln National Forest they hoped his mother would find him. When she did not, Ray Bell, the game warden then, gave permission to rescue the bear.

With burns on his feet and legs, it was feared the cub wouldn’t sur-vive, but after treatment by Edwin Smith, who was a veterinarian in Santa Fe, Bell’s wife and daughter, Judy, took the cub home to the Bell Ranch. Mrs. Bell fed him Pablum (a processed cereal for infants) and dog food. The cub’s squalling kept the ranch in an uproar during his resi-dence. He looked adorable, but he

bit and scratched; Mrs. Bell and Judy were the only people he tolerated.

After two weeks, Ray Bell per-suaded his friend, William Piper, Sr., who had just released the Piper Cub Airplane for sale, to fly the baby bear to Washington, D.C., where he would live at the National Zoo. There were stops for photo ops, one with the famous Western star Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd). Cassidy declined to wear gloves when handed the bear for a photo, but the bear bit and scratched him in spite of his fame!

A bear had already been featured in an early ad campaign focusing on fire prevention in our national forests. But in 1954 was replaced by the now fully-grown bear from Capitan—Smokey Bear. Smokey

Bear became a mascot for fire pre-vention, and is known for the popu-lar slogan “Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.” His popularity grew, especially among school children. It has been the longest lasting, and most successful ad campaign in U.S. history, using mostly donated time and space from media com-

panies. Around 2008, the slogan was changed to, “Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires.”

Smokey Bear became very well known, and on his 50th birthday, Forest Service facilities across the nation instituted annual Smokey Bear birthday parties, either in May when Smokey was found in 1950 or in August when Smokey Bear’s poster was released on August 9, 1944, for an advertising campaign.

In Capitan, the Smokey Bear Historical Park and Museum was taken over in 1990 by the New Mexico State Forestry Division of Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. When Smokey died in 1976 at the age of 26, he was buried on the museum grounds. His tree-shaded grave-site is marked with an engraved stone, and a tiny wood-carved bear climbs a tree behind the site.

Other exhibits include photos of Smokey Bear as a baby, and as an adult, and a larger than life-sized Smokey Bear. Over 20,000 visitors come to the museum each year, with

visitors from 26 countries and across the U.S. The facility is closed only three days a year: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Each year the Smokey Bear Hometown Association, Friends of the Park in Capitan, and museum staff join forces to sponsor Smokey Bear Days to further fire prevention and education. Residents celebrated Smokey Bear’s 70th birthday in May.

In Cloudcroft, the Lincoln National Forest, Sacramento Ranger District, and the U.S. Forest Service offices will celebrate Smokey Bear’s birthday on August 9th with special activities, a birthday cake and an appearance by Smokey Bear!

The Ruidoso Ranger District office will celebrate on August 9th with a grand opening and dedica-tion of the newly remodeled Smokey Bear Ranger District.

Remember, “Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires.”

Thirty-four high school students from New Mexico

ventured outside their rural hometowns for one week in June to join more than 1,600 other students from around the nation to attend the 2014 Government-in-Action Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. The Youth Tour celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.

“The Youth Tour was the highlight of the summer for many students from New Mexico, and we’re proud to have sent them to Washington, D.C.,” says Evelyn Vigil, New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association's office manager and Youth Tour direc-tor. “The students gained a first-hand understanding of the legislative process and made friendships with others from across the country. Our youth are our future, and we can give them the tools to succeed.”

The students learned about the importance of electric cooperatives, met with legislative leaders, and toured historical sites such as the Smithsonian Institution, Arlington National Cemetery, and Mount Vernon.

The tour is coordinated by the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. This is the statewide association's 17th year participating in the tour.

Students Rock Youth Tour


Students Share their Youth Tour MemoriesWhat happens when you bring 1,600 students to Washington, D.C., for a tour? Long-lasting memories and friendships!

Damonica Alderette, Mesa Vista Kit Carson Electric

I had an amazingly wonderful experience in Washington D.C. My favorite parts of the tour were seeing the Lincoln Memorial, some-

thing I never dreamed of seeing in person; and talking with our congressional leaders and staff on Capitol Hill. It truly was the experience-of-a-lifetime.

Angelica Aragon, Mora Mora-San Miguel Electric

I have traveled to Washington D.C., before, but the Youth Tour was such an amazing experience it was like visiting for the first time. I

really enjoyed visiting with our congressional leaders and making friendships that will last a lifetime.

Ezra Archuleta, Los Ojos Northern Río Arriba Electric

The whole Youth Tour was amaz-ing! I enjoyed the opportunity to tour Washington with all the amaz-ing people from around the state.

Much was learned about how each of us can help our local communities. These are the memories we will cherish. We are the leaders of the future!

Christa Bell, Angel Fire Kit Carson Electric

The Youth Tour was one of the best times of my life. There was so much to see and I loved every minute of it. Having the opportunity to lay

the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was an amazing experience. I don't think there will ever be any-thing else that will compare to the Youth Tour experience.

Shannon Blaisure, McIntosh Central New Mexico Electric

The most memorable part of the trip were the new friends and the people who I got to meet from the different states. The whole trip, all

the sites we got to see, and all the history that was there; I know I will never forget this trip.

Hayden Brown, Lovington Lea County Electric

The opportunity to visit Capitol Hill and meet our congressional delegation was a highlight of the trip for me. Talking to them about

important issues helped me understand the importance of our government. I met so many people and made some good friends. I recommend others apply for Youth Tour.

Ryan Chavez, Veguita Socorro Electric

My experience in Washington, D.C., was amazing. I met students from 48 states. The Youth Tour was a great opportunity to speak with

our congressional leaders. I highly recommend this tour to anybody. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it is something you will never forget.

Savannah Peña, Grants Continental Divide Electric

This trip was a wonderful oppor-tunity! I learned more about our nation's history and government. It has influenced my decisions about

my future and has set me on a new path in life. It was a wonderful experience and I recommend it to others.

Jena Slater, Nara Visa Southwestern Electric

Having the incredible opportunity to take a tour of Mount Vernon, the house where George Washington lived and died was my favorite

historical site. A huge thank you to Southwestern Electric Co-op for sending me on this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Washington D.C.

Kayla Lee Summers, Datil Roosevelt County Electric

What really impressed me the most about the Youth Tour were the people. I made friendships that will last for many years. This trip

was amazing, but it made me appreciate my rural setting versus being in a large city. Thank goodness for my rural community, and the electricity that powers it!

Delegates of the 2014 Government-in-Action Youth Tour. The students who shared their Youth Tour memo-ries, also thanked each of their individual electric cooperatives for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity trip.

BOSQUE DEL APACHE: A BRIEF HISTORYBy Robyn J. Harrison2012, 44 pages, $12.95575-835-1828

Five stars for this treasure trove of interesting facts about our famous wildlife refuge an hour south of Albuquerque where thousands of snow geese, hundreds of sandhill cranes and other migrating water-fowl spend the winter. The right to divert water from the nearby Rio Grande to the Bosque was established by an early farmer who wanted to irrigate his beet field. Historically, the area has been racked by devastating floods or threatened by drought. The level of the river continues to drop as agri-culture and development take their share. Today, the Refuge is one of the most rigorously managed wild-life areas in the country with a com-plicated system of wells, ditches, canals, and levees. From 1947, with one or two visitors a week, the numbers have swelled to 3,000 in a one-day open house. Today you can enjoy a six-day celebration of hikes, tours, lectures and workshops at the autumn Festival of the Cranes. And don’t forget your camera. Wow!

THE RUBY CHAMBERBy Dennis George2012, 288 pages, $29.95www.fastpencil.com

Dennis George has taken some risks with a science fiction tale that involves the initiation of a young Native American who goes down into a kiva with his grandpa to do a ceremony. There, all similarities end. Young Lyle transforms into an eagle and jour-neys through space to the Ruby Chamber where he meets “The Four” who explain he has been chosen to save the universe. This is not the movie “Avatar” which ends in the classic battle between good and evil. Lyle goes to college and expands his consciousness with online courses. “He began to write and publish papers on computer theory and brain mapping.” (Bet you didn’t see that coming!) By his 18th birthday he had enough information to attempt to map the brains of “The Four” and transmit everything they knew before their universe collapsed. It’s a thought provoking read for all ages with a beautiful cover design by the author’s son, Alex George.

WITHOUT RESERVATIONS: THE CARTOONS OF RICARDO CATéBy Ricardo Caté 2012, 192 pages, $8.99 Gibbs Smith, www.amazon.com

Since 2006, Ricardo Caté has been a cartoonist for the daily The Santa Fe New Mexican. He’s from Santo Domingo Pueblo and has three children. His take on the human situation is whimsical, ironic and sometimes hilarious. As a kid he was a big fan of Mad Magazine. To those who think he is not politically correct, he says pick up a history book and read about Native Americans. “If people won’t accept my views and insights as a Native American living in this country, then maybe I won’t accept Garfield’s views and insights as a cat living in this country.” Caté has a way of juxtaposing modern life with Native down-home ambiance as in “Remote Control” where a Native in a battered arm-chair pokes the TV with a broom handle. General Custer bears the brunt of the joke when the Natives arm the bears. A couple of tourists in a motel pool are startled when two Natives lie down and drink from the water. LOL. I did.

FACTS FACTS FACTS: ALL THE STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOWEditor Liam Rodgers2010, 975 pages, $24.95Chambers Harrap Publishers www.chambers.co.uk

This one-stop, encyclopedic fact finder from Edinburgh, Scotland offers a global view of the human experience. If you’ve ever won-dered what currency they use in Madagascar or when it will be Easter in 2020, this is the book for you. If you can’t access a computer. Or you dropped your iPhone in the bilge. Without the aid of complex technology, this meticulously researched, expertly written and highly acclaimed volume offers answers to questions you may never have pondered. Such as how much does the sun weigh? It includes scientific terms, inventions, history, arts and culture, musicians, and sports. The index itself is 94 pages. The type is very small, so you may need a magnifying glass.

Vecinos BY ELLEN RIPPEL

Cleo, the Yodeling Cowgirl

Cleo Consolver Morgan—once hailed as “the little gal who’s

really country”—is now one of Deming’s living treasures. She’s active, intelligent and still a beauti-ful woman at 92.

And what an interesting past! Cleo was born on a farm in Iowa. Although she was an only child, her parents also raised five of her mother’s siblings and two children belonging to a neighbor. She said her dad wanted a son but he readily admitted Cleo was able to do the work of both son and daughter. She could ride and shoot, and helped when horses had to be ridden overland to sell.

With the encouragement of a neighbor, she learned to play the guitar when she was 10. He had played the fiddle in vaudeville and his two young sons played banjo and piano. Cleo attended public school by day, and in the evenings practiced with what became their little country band. They played for local schools, dances and other events, each earn-ing $2.50 a night, considerable money in those days. (In 1932, eggs were 18¢ a dozen, hot dogs 8¢ a pound.) At one regional event—Pumpkin Days in Gravity, Iowa—Cleo and the band “stole the show.” The audi-ence was captivated by them, but particularly by the 11-year-old girl who sang and yodeled. A visiting radio station manager from WHO in Des Moines signed the band up for live performances on the station’s Saturday night “Barn Dance Frolic.” And that’s when Cleo became known as “The Yodeling Cowgirl.”

In the years that followed she successfully pursued an entertain-ment career on radio, in clubs and on recordings. Cleo proudly points out her wages were equal to what most men were making—double

what women made. She played guitar and mandolin, sang and yodeled. During a career that spanned over a half century she performed in Iowa, Arkansas, Texas, California, and Arizona.

Cleo married twice, and had two sons she raised as a single parent. One of her primary goals was to never do anything that might embar-rass her boys. She believed going to Nashville might have meant com-promises for her family. “I didn’t set out like most entertainers did,” she says. “They were going to Nashville to be a star. I just wanted to make a living at it. I did, and I was always thankful for it.”

When both boys were diagnosed with chronic bronchitis in 1964—in need of a dry climate—Cleo moved her family to Deming. An astute business woman, she owned and operated a motel as well as a commer-cial laundry. She also managed a popular steak house. “By the time you get to be my age,” she says, “you’ve just about done it all.”

In Deming, Cleo and three other musicians formed a popular coun-try-and-western entertainment group known as “Cleo, the Barefoot Cowgirl and the Mimbres Valley Boys,” playing throughout southwest New Mexico.

When did she retire from her music career? “Like the saying goes,” she says with a smile, “I hung ‘er up when I was 67.”

After “retirement” Cleo has devoted much of her time to familiar-izing herself with southwestern jewelry, pottery and antiques. She’s planning on opening an antique shop in Deming in the near future.

Cleo at 92, playing the same guitar her dad gave her when she was a child.

Celebrating Smokey Bear!The Youth Editor has yet to go fishing. So for September, let's take a dive into our state's waters and draw some fish. As you put on your scuba gear, draw what type of fish you come across in our waters.

Howdy Youth Artists. October is Co-op Month. Do you know your house receives electricity from a co-op? Ask an adult to show you what's pow-ered by electricity in your home. Then draw what you see. Did you come across a refrigerator? A toaster? A fish aquarium? How about your electric toothbrush? Show us your Co-op Power. Have fun!

Remember: Print your name, age, mailing address, phone number, and co-op name on your drawings. Otherwise, your drawings are disqualified. Remember: color, dark ink or pencil on plain white 8.50 x 11.00 size paper is best. Mail to: Youth Editor, 614 Don Gaspar Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87505. Entries must be here by the 9th of the month before publication. Each published artist receives $10 for his or her work.
