Hanneke Cassel Trio

September 19 Back by popular demand! Hanneke’s music influences range from Scotland to China, along with grooves and musical innovations from the hip Boston bluegrass/Americana scene and is fused together to create a uniquely American approach to Scottish music. She will be sharing music from her new CD release Dot the Dragon’s Eyes and some favorites from her past work. “Exuberant and rhythmic, somehow both wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness,” says the Boston Globe about Hanneke Cassel’s playing. Such charismatic fiddling has brought the native Oregonian many honors and awards including 1997 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion.

She teaches regularly at the legendary Club Passim in Cambridge, MA, participates in fiddler’s camps around the world, and holds a Bachelors of Music in Violin Performance from Berklee College of Music. For more information, visit hannekecassel.com.

Courtesy Photo Over their 16 years together, the Memphis band has built up a fanbase that’s as diverse as it is rabid. Ask 50 Lucero fans what their favorite song is and you’ll get 50 different answers. Among the band’s 100-plus songs across nine albums and multiple EPs, there’s no universal fan favorite. “Each person makes Lucero their own thing,” says frontman Ben Nichols. “Everyone identifies with us for completely different reasons. For one reason or another, Lucero becomes a very personal band.” But the one thing that seems to unify Lucero fans of all kinds is the band’s all-or-nothing live show, and Live from Atlanta, the band’s latest live record, thoroughly captures that.

Live from Atlanta is a massive, career-spanning collection of songs recorded over three nights in Atlanta’s Terminal West. It’s a four-LP greatest hits collection of 32 tunes played the way they were meant to be heard, with all the distinguishing elements you’d hear at Lucero’s live show—horns, pianos, and the trademark instrument of the band’s live sound: whiskey-fueled audience singalongs. “When you listen to ‘Freebird,’ you’re not listening to the studio version.

You’re wanting that 17-minute crazy one. That’s the one you think to go to,” says guitarist Brian Venable. “So we’re hoping with this record, you’ll finally get a version of ‘Tears Don’t Matter Much’ that you know.”

“This was a nice chance to document what we’ve been doing recently,” says Nichols. “It’s very representative of what we’ve been doing live for the last couple of years. It’s a pretty good snapshot of where the band is right now.”

The album’s extensive assortment of songs proves that Lucero is a band for everyone. Parts country and parts folk with an added heaping of punk rock, the six-piece cover the musical gamut. Even the band members have varying opinions on how to define their sound. “We’re each playing in a completely different band. We’re on stage and each playing in our own Lucero. I’m not sure that’s how it works for other bands,” laughs Nichols.

The Lucero Concert, featuring Quaker City Night Hawks is Friday, September 19, at 8 p.m., at the Liberty, located at 312 N. Virginia in Roswell. For more information call 627-2121, or visit thelibertyinc.com.

File Photo Clarabelle Romero of Harvest Gifts hangs chile pequin on the first day of the 2013 Chile Cheese Festival.

By Rey Berrones Vision Editor As the cool rains have quelled the heat of the summer, the autumn air in New Mexico has begun to be filled with the aroma of roasted chile. An annual tradition for New Mexicans, the chile harvest is celebrated by music and festivities in all parts of the state.

Roswell celebrates with the Chile Cheese Festival. During the festival, Leprino Foods invites the community to tour the mozzarella cheese plant, which is normally closed to the public.

Tickets for an exclusive peek inside the plant are $6, and can be purchased at the Roswell Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. The scheduled tours

depart by bus from the festival.

According to Peggy Seskey, one of the event organizers, "People need to make advance reservation for the buses if they can, because they fill up fast."

The festival itself is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 26 and 27 at the Roswell Convention Center located at 912 N. Main. Each day begins at 10 a.m. and continues until sundown.

Seskey said, "Graves farm will be roasting chile and selling ristras.

Our favorite vendors are coming back. They have spices, ristras and ceramic ristras that won't go bad. There will be vendors selling decorative corn, fall decorations and crowd favorites. There are fall

favorite food vendors like roasted corn and indian fry bread. We have new vendors as well."

There is also live music all day, entertainment, and more. It is the public's first opportunity to spend the entire day outside without being beaten down by the summer sun.

Seskey enthusiastically added that they extended the evening hours on Friday for people that are just getting off work. "They can come out, have dinner on Friday night, and stay for the music.

In the past we closed at 6:30 p.m., but this year people can come and stay until 9:30 p.m., enjoy the music and dance."

By Rey Berrones Vision Editor

The Way Way Off Broadway Theatre Company is set to put on their first production on September 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the ENMU-Roswell Performing Arts Center. This one-night concert presents a history of Broadway music while reaching out to benefit the Aldrich and Herring families.

According to Tony Souza, Board Secretary and Managing Director, "Our theatre company, Way Way Off Broadway, is producing a show in honor of two local Roswell families. The Aldrich's and the Herrings.

"It is basically a one night benefit concert to raise money to support these families medical expenses and travel expenses associated with some sick kids that they have in their family."

The idea of the concert was the brainchild of Artistic Director Summer Souza who talked to Warren Aldrich nearly a year ago.

According to Tony, one of the missions of the company was to become a mechanism to support needs in the community. He also noted that this event is a collaboration with the college, who is donating the space and equipment, so essentially no cost is incurred. Because of the voluteering from the theatre company and the college facility and all of the proceeds from the event can go to the families.

One of the families that is benefiting from the production is the Aldrich family, who's daughter Kinzie was incurred heavy medical expenses. According to Warren Aldrich, "Kinzie is a nineyear old little girl that got diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or 'ALL.' She was diagnosed on March 6 of last year.

She is still in treatment.

"Her treatment is two years and two months. She still has eight to ten months to go. She finishes May of next year.

"She is in remission, she is doing really good. She is back in school, but she has been through a lot. She has been under heavy anesthesia 15-18 times already, and she still has

more to go. She has lumbar punctures every three months.

She has had bone marrow biopsies. She has a port that is tied into her main arteries in her body. The line goes right down to her heart and she has an access port in her chest. She has lost her hair, of course, because she is on chemo. She has got it back and she is doing really good now."

Kinzie's treatment is happening in Albuquerque at the UNM Pediatric Hematology and Oncology group.

The other family that will be benefactors of this event is the Herring family. According to Tony, Alison Herring and Will Seeley are the parents. He went on, "Will is a sheriff's deputy, and Alison is a dispatcher. They had a little baby back in April.

She was born several weeks early.

Aldrich elaborated, "They found water inside of her heart and inside of her brain while she was still inside of her mom, and that triggered this whole chain of events that led up to this. She went into labor, premature, and they didn't expect the baby to live. She ended up having a hole in her heart, which they had to fix. She was diagnosed with leukemia, which is a different form than what my daughter has, but it is a very rare and short-lived version."

Tony continued, "It is called transient leukemia, which means that it will go away, but it is about surviving it in the mean time. She also has down syndrome, which is associated with that leukemia.

"Alison was transported from Roswell to UNM because of the high risk labor and birth. She gave birth at UNM to Reagan,

her daughter, who was immediately flown to Aurora, Colorado for specialized treatment. As soon as Alison was stabilized, she joined Reagan up there and hasn't been to Roswell since."

According to Adrich, Alison ran out of sick leave and vacation a couple of months ago.

Tony said, "Will has been commuting back and forth, working shifts and then going up to see the two of them. She has been staying at the Ronald McDonald House up there. The financial burden for them is very real."

According to Tony, she is currently five months old, and she is on her way home.

The show itself is ambitious,

with a chronological history of Broadway that begins with the 1930s.

Tony elaborated, "Wizard of Oz opens it up. We start with the early Broadway that everyone recognizes. The standards like Wizard of Oz, of course, Man of La Mancha... We are starting there and going through time. As we go through, you will hear songs from Jeckl and Hyde, Wicked, Chicago, Guys and Dolls.

"It will be music that everyone recognizes, everyone loves, and everyone sings in the shower. It is going to be a fun night.

Summer said that it is a fun romp, and there is no need to

follow a story because Dominic and Tony will walk the audience through the history of Broadway.

She continued, "They are going to walk you through all these shows and the history of them to give people an idea of where these songs come from. Some people will recognize a song and not realize that it is from the show tune."

Tickets are available for $20 per person, and actually are a direct donation to the family, as no money actually goes to the theatre company or the college.

They can be purchased online at showtix4u.com or by through the Way Way Off Broadway Facebook page.

Carlsbad ... a pearl on the Pecos HISTORY

The final chapter in a series on Carlsbad

By Stu Pritchard Roswell Historian

The Eddy water projects ran into serious financial trouble in 1893. A general money panic occurred and financiers were frightened off. Then a big flood hit Eddy dam, Hagerman dam and the two bridges were washed out.

Many canals and the railroad were damaged. With great personal sacrifice, Hagerman reconstructed the system; however, the Roswell / Amarillo railroad was forced into bankruptcy. It appears that the financier had spent well over three million dollars in support of the projects.

In 1898, fiscally exhausted and in poor health, Hagerman retired to his acquired properties which were originally owned and constructed by John Chisum. Eddy also departed the enterprise, transferring his now meager funds to the building of a transcontinental railway through the area.

None the less, the large project and intense advertising had attracted a flow of settlers from the eastern states and Europe.

The town was also advertised as a health mecca, "Get well while you get rich" the ad stated, bringing in literally hundreds of consumptives (tuberculars.) This facet of the advertising was instrumental in attracting such men as Tansill, Hagerman, Paris bankers H.J. Hargis and William McMillan – all who came to Eddy for the fresh, dry air.

R.W. Tansill is credited with the suggestion that the town's name be changed. He contended that the mineral content of nearby springs was the same as in Karlsbad, a European spa town in the present day Czech Republic. On May 27, 1899, residents voted 83 to 43 for calling the town Carlsbad.

Meanwhile, the area's water project, financially beset, was reorganized by Francis Tracy in 1900 when the enterprise was

taken over by the Department of Interior under the Reclamation Act of June 1907. With assistance from President Theodore Roosevelt, financial support was secured.

In September 1902, work was begun on a $50,000 flume to carry water across the Pecos River. The imposing concrete structure, one of the world's largest, replaced the old wooden flume which had been washed out.

Again in 1904, flood waters swept down the Pecos, taking out Avalon Dam and the town's bridges including the railroad's span. It was necessary to blow up a portion of the western embankment to relieve pressure on the McMillan Reservoir. This also necessitated the sale of water rights and irrigation works to U.S. Reclamation Service in 1906.

Territorial Governor L. Bradford Prince extolled the area and the projects. A full-time publicity agent, quartered in a special railroad car, displayed the farmland’s agriculture products. In 1908, an entry by Eddy County won the Hearst Trophy for the best county exhibit. Some homes and farms became show places for the county's agri-products including thoroughbred horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.

The impressive and imaginative dreams of Eddy, Greene, Garrett and Hagerman were nearly dissolved in the swirling waters of the Pecos River. Twenty-four lives were lost from the floods. The greatest promise for the future lay in the construction of Brantly Dam. The growing village was represented by a sterling newspaper, the Eddy Argus, with a weekly edition starting Saturday, October 12, 1885. Subsequently, the Carlsbad Current Argus won numerous awards for excellence in community service, editorial comments and photography.

In 1893, the Eddy Light and Ice Company brought the town its first electrical service. The Tan-

sills opened a second power plant in 1916, operating it until 1926, when Southwest Public Service purchased both companies. Further changes came about as the city grew and entered the new century.

Carlsbad has always been a moral city and its inhabitants resented excesses in the vices. In the early 1890s, a southern section of the city called Phenix was rife with saloons, gambling houses and bordellos. It was a tough, disorderly area that offeded the sensitivities of most Eddy citizens who brought about its closure in 1895. Some years later, under local option, a saloon operated for a brief period, later removed to San Jose. Even so, "The Blue Goose" was a surreptitious place for many a citizen intent on a little nip. Still, Eddy advertised itself as late as 1918 as having no gambling dens or houses of ill repute. Dave King, first sheriff of Eddy County, was part owner of Phenix's largest saloon.

In the summer of 1901, a young cowboy spied a dark cloud spiraling skyward that was funneling from a black hole in the side of a foothill of the Guadalupes. The cowboy was Jim Larkin White; the hole, of course, was the magnificant Carlsbad Caverns, acknowledged as one of the world's greatest natural wonders.

White returned to descend into the cave on a home-made ladder, discovering the wonders of its subterranian chambers. White also discovered that the dark cloud consisted of millions of small black bats circling and departing the cave.

It was many years before White was able to interest authorities of the aesthetics of the cavern.

White was able to interest a man named Abijah Long who filed for mineral rights in 1903 to begin mining the enormous quantity of bat guano (droppings) accumulated in the cave. Rich in nitrates, the guano made excellent natural fertilizer for California's infant citrus industry.

Jim White never ceased his efforts to advance the beauty of the caverns. It was in 1922 before an organized expedition traversed portions of the huge cave. Photographs taken by Ray V. Davis attracted the attention of the Department of the Interior who designated the caverns as a national monument in October, 1923. It was 13 years before the caverns guested its millionth visitor; five years later, more than 5 million had glimpsed the cave’s natural wonders of stallagmites, stallagtites, cave coral and other quaint and lovely formations. A bonus for visitors is the daily bat flight, when hundreds of thousands of bats depart the major opening for their evening insect foraging.

The discorvery of potash near the community assisted in growth for the area economy as did the discovery and productive drilling of oil in the nearby town of Artesia, and to a lesser degree, Carlsbad.

Carlsbad was a quiet town, attractive with its tree-lined streets. Ranching was a prosperous business. A railroad extension opened a direct line to market with nearly 500 cattle a week being shipped as well as thousands of pounds of wool.

Alfalfa was the first crop to yield a reasonable return. Later, cotton became the most profitable. Automobiles made an appearance in 1906 when a local doctor purchased a bright red two cylinder Maxwell. Few are the population centers with a more interesting and unique growth.

By 1915, the Carlsbad project was comprised of two storage reservoirs formed by dams across the Pecos. Lake McMillan (70,000 acre feet) and Lake Avalon (7,000 acre feet). An enormous concrete flume was in close proximity to the famous Carlsbad Spring, (from which the town was named.) The main canal extended almost 20 miles, terminating just beyond Malagra.

By 1915, Carlsbad was a thriving community at just over 3,500 persons. There was a fine school, telephone exchange, electric power, sewer system, two nation-

al banks, two newspapers, a modern hotel, six churches, an ice factory, three garages, a machine shop, several large merchandise establishments, and a commercial and women’s club.

When the United States entered World War I, the community's Company B entered active service in April 1917. They sailed with the Sunset Division for France the next April. The first casualty was a lad name Bryan Mudgett after which the local American Legion was named. One of the commanders was Colonel Etienne Bujac, who, after the conflict, became important in forming New Mexico law. He was also the father of Bruce Jaques Etienne de Pelissier Bujac who became known as film actor Bruce Cabot.

Cabot reached stardom as a major character in "King Kong."

Citizens formed "Lick the Kaiser" clubs; knitted and packed kits for the troops until the war was won. The division returned two years later.

In the later conflict, World War II, Carlsbad had a disproportionate share in support of the conflict. The famed 200 Coast Artillery was one of the first to engage the Japanese, as their units fought in Bataan and became a part of the infamous "death march." Some were able to reach Corregidor but were forced to surrender to overwhelming enemy forces.

At home, in June 1942, Carlsbad began construction of an airfield for training select cadets in a variety of flying duties. Many eager young men learned to fly in small aircraft through the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPT).

Additionally, in 1944, the city hosted a prisoner of war camp.

As Carlbad's victorious soldiers returned from the wars, they spawned the largest peacetime construction and production surge in its history; new houses, new churches, new stores, almost a new community.

Today, Carlsbad is still "on the grow" with years after WWII displaying considerable growth and prosperity. Eddy County, an area built on dreams, is an area containing promise. Visionary pioneers opened a land where thousands of people could live in an environment of beauty and promise.

The Roswell incident: Making more sense all the time UFOLOGY

One of the things we researchers in the field of UFO studies love the most is consistency. The accounts we investigate, goodness knows, are often bizarre, involving airborne objects quite possible from someplace other than this planet, and it becomes very important for those accounts to have an internal consistency that makes it easier to judge them to be authentic reports.

We delight in finding, for example, that the accounts given by different witnesses (especially witnesses who were not even aware of each other), of the same UFO event seen from different vantage points, are in reasonable agreement. Sometimes we get good correlations and sometimes not. But typically one of the reasons we consider a “classic” UFO case to be so

classic, so worthy of being remembered and studied, is that it shows close consistency among its various witness reports.

The Levelland, Texas UFO flap (November 1957) was such a case, where numerous motorists late one night reported seeing a large disk-shaped object land on the roadways, in various spots, around the town. All these independent witnesses described what we now call the EM (electromagnetic) effect, with car engines dying and headlights flickering or going out. The EM

12 | VISION MAGAZINE / THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2014

effect is well known nowadays, but it wasn’t in 1957. Still, all these observers described it (and the UFO itself) essentially the same way.

With regard to the Roswell incident of 1947, researchers have long noted a high degree of consistency among several hundred witnesses and their stories, but I have noticed yet another point of correlation, one that is particularly thought-provoking.

I have mentioned in an earlier column that Dr. Robert Wood and Nick Redfern, in their excel-

lent book “Alien Viruses,” make reference to certain documents that describe events in which four technicians died during the Roswell UFO crash retrieval, evidently from exposure (from handling the bodies) to an exceedingly deadly and quickly incubating virus, the contagion apparently being due to contact with alien body fluids. The technicians in question were all taken to Los Alamos, where they soon succumbed to symptoms (seizures, profuse bleeding) resembling those of a hemorrhagic fever like the Ebola virus infection.

As interested as I have been for some time in the biohazard aspect of UFO crash retrievals, it was a while before a simple but important connection occurred to me, relating to the Roswell incident.

UFO researchers have reported that mortician Glenn Dennis, during the aftermath of the UFO crash in July 1947, received phone calls from the base mortuary officer asking about the availability of small caskets “that could be hermetically sealed.”

When one puts two and two together here, one sees that the reason for this request is clear.

It was because at that point those four technicians had already become gravely ill, perhaps had already died, from handling the recovered alien bodies. The workers initially approaching these bodies had done so without adequate protective gear, but before long everyone on the scene had learned a crucial lesson: the cadavers were biologically dangerous.
