Co-op Newswire 2018 Farm Bill Update

By Dan Riedinger

E

very five years, the U.S. Congress considers the Farm Bill, a bill that has huge implications for America’s electric cooperatives.

The bill sets food and agriculture policy for the entire nation, affecting everything from what crops are grown to funding for food nutrition programs. The Farm Bill is due to be reauthorized by the federal government this year.

The Farm Bill is about much more than agriculture policy. It promotes rural economic development and allows co-ops to finance basic electrification activities, deploy high-speed communications and enhance smart grid technologies.

Through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), our national service organization, America’s electric cooperatives are working to ensure lawmakers in Washington know what our priorities are for the 2018 Farm Bill. Here are a few.

Rural broadband Increasing high-speed internet access in rural communities is a priority for many co-ops.

Broadband access isn’t a luxury—

4

APRIL 2018

it’s a necessity. But 34 million Americans in mostly rural areas lack access to high speed internet.

So, co-ops have asked Congress to use the Farm Bill to provide significant funding for broadband loans and grants to all viable Internet providers, including cooperatives.

Economic development Co-ops aren’t just electricity providers. They are engines of economic development - powering and empowering the communities they serve. The Farm Bill’s Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program is an important source of financing for economic development projects in rural communities. Over the last two decades, electric cooperatives have partnered with community stakeholders on hundreds of projects to renovate hospitals, build libraries and expand businesses. Co-ops have asked Congress to ensure ample funding for this program in the next Farm Bill and beyond.

Innovation Not-for-profit electric co-ops are natural incubators of innovation,

enchantment.coop

because they are driven solely by the needs of members like you. The USDA runs a number of programs that help fund innovative projects, including the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) and Rural Energy Savings Program (RESP). Co-ops use these programs to save members money by financing investments in energy efficiency, constructing new renewable energy resources and deploying electric grid modernization technologies.

REAP and RESP help ensure that co-ops are poised to meet the evolving needs of their members.

USDA Rural Development The health of our nation is dependent on a healthy rural America.

Rural America grows most of the food, generates much of the power and manufactures many of the goods consumed by the nation.

USDA’s office of Rural Development operates many different programs that provide fundamental assistance to those rural communities. Co-ops have asked Congress to maintain a strong rural development in the Farm Bill to reaffirm the importance of these programs.

We look forward to working with Congress and other stakeholders to pass a Farm Bill that promotes economic growth in rural America and allows co-ops to continue meeting the needs of their members.

Navigating the Distributed Generation Disclosure Act

I

“

The DGDA gives consumers rights. Any agreement must contain details about the buyer or lessee and about the person responsible for installing the system.

”

n March, the New Mexico Attorney General, Hector Balderas, filed a lawsuit against a New Mexico rooftop solar provider.

The AG claims Vivint Solar, Inc., engaged in a pattern of unfair and unconscionable business practices, fraud and racketeering. As its basis, the AG says the company’s door-todoor sales tactics and power purchase contracts are misleading.

The complaint states “Consumer complaints highlight the cumulative impact of Vivint’s multiple false statements and unfair business practices from the initial door-todoor sales pitch through design of solar systems to the billing for their production.” It also accuses Vivint of filing improper notices in consumer real estate records.

In 2017, the Distributed Generation Disclosure Act (DGDA) became law.

It provides for minimum disclosure requirements related to the selling or marketing for the financing, sale or lease of a distributed energy generation system. It also extends disclosure requirements to the sale of power generated from a third party owned or operated distributed energy generation system to a power purchaser. The New Mexico cooperatives were strong proponents of the DGDA. The DGDA gives consumers rights.

Any agreement must contain details about the buyer or lessee and about

the person responsible for installing the system. It must contain details about the distributed energy generation system maintenance provider if different than the person installing the system.

The buyer or lessee has the right to rescind the agreement within three days. The agreement must contain details about the renewable energy generation system and its expected energy generation and performance guarantees.

The purchase price of distributed energy generation system, projected lease or power purchase payments must be clear and concise. The agreement should describe any one-time or recurring fees including the circumstances that would trigger them. The disclosure must also include financing or leasing details, including number and frequency of payments, payment amount, due dates and applicable annual percentage rate.

Any restrictions on the buyer or lessee to modify or transfer ownership of the distributed energy generation system must be disclosed. This includes the options available in the event of the sale of the property to which the system is affixed or the death of the buyer or lessee. It also includes the description of all options available to the buyer or lessee, in connection with the continuation, termination or transfer of the agreement between the buyer or lessee. The agree-

Keven J. Groenewold. P.E. Chief Executive Officer New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association

ment must state the options for the seller or marketer in the event of the transfer of the real property to which the distributed energy is affixed.

The DGDA requires the seller or marketer to provide proof, within thirty days, about obtaining all required permits and inspector approvals for the installation or modification of the distributed energy generation system. All financial and energy savings claims must be explicitly supported with the underlying assumptions and calculations. Any use of historical data must be presented with the stipulation that it is not necessarily representative of future results.

This list of your rights is not exhaustive. A complete list can be obtained by contacting the New Mexico Attorney General’s office toll-free at 844-255-9210 or go to his website at www.nmag.gov. From this page, you can access the Solar Distributed Generation Disclosure Statement & Form.

The majority of the solar system vendors and installers are reputable and conscientious. The DGDA helps to weed out the bad ones. And as always, if you have any questions about making a solar system purchase, call your local co-op. They would be happy to chat with you about it.

Hale to the stars

BY ALAN HALE

T

he evening sky, which was devoid of any bright planets for a few months, is now busier.

Venus climbs higher into the evening sky. At the beginning of April, it doesn’t set until after dusk is over, and this interval grows longer as the month progresses.

Giant planet Jupiter rises about an hour and a half before midnight at the start of April, with this changing to rising before the end of dusk by month’s end. Jupiter is highest above the southern horizon an hour or so after midnight, and remains visible in the western sky until after the start of dawn.

Saturn and Mars can be found in our southeastern sky during the morning at the beginning of April, near the “lid” of the “teapot”-shaped constellation of Sagittarius. They have a conjunction on Monday morning, the 2nd, but while Saturn remains near the “lid” of Sagittarius, Mars races rapidly eastward against the stars.

Our solar system’s innermost planet, Mercury, is visible low in the dawn sky during the second half of April, however it will be difficult to view from the northern hemisphere.

Probably the most prominent sky grouping visible in the evening hours during April is the Big Dipper, which rides high in the northern sky. The Big Dipper—the first star grouping this writer ever saw, when his father pointed it out to him when he was six years

old—is not a “true” constellation, but instead is part of a larger constellation, Ursa Major, the Great Bear. While the “Dipper” shape is coincidental, the proximity of the various bright stars of the Dipper to each other is not; five of the Dipper’s seven bright stars are members of a nearby “cluster” of stars that travel together.

When we look in the direction of the Big Dipper we are looking away from our galaxy into intergalactic space, and there are numerous distant galaxies in this part of the sky that can be detected with small to moderatesize backyard telescopes.

In late 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope took a 10-day-long continuous exposure of a small nondescript portion of the sky near the Big Dipper’s handle.

This “Hubble Deep Field” shows lots of galaxies out to the most distant reaches of the observable universe, demonstrating that the population of galaxies in the universe numbers in the hundreds of billions.

Springtime Sunday Brunch The crocuses and daffodils bring color back into the garden, brightening our mood and encouraging us to make a special Sunday brunch.

Dairy Hollow House German Baked Pancake 8”x8” ovenproof dish. Layer asparagus, cheese, This delightful pancake was served to me by Kayleen Dowell at a springtime Sunday brunch in her charming Placitas home. She dusted it with powdered sugar and called it a Dutch Baby.

Kayleen says: “I remember this recipe from The Dairy Hollow House, a bed and breakfast in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, one of my very favorite places in my world…”

3 large eggs ¾ cup unbleached white flour ¾ cup milk ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. vanilla or lemon extract 1½ Tbs. butter Preheat oven to 450 F. Beat together all ingredients except butter. When smooth, set aside. Then melt 1½ tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy cast-iron skillet. When skillet is hot, carefully pour in batter and put skillet in oven. Bake at 450 F for 15 minutes; then lower to 350 F and bake 10 more minutes. It will puff dramatically (your guests will exclaim with delight) but will eventually settle slightly. Also, the edges end up higher than the middle, making a crater perfect for any toppings or fillings. Serves 2-4.

Crustless Asparagus Quiche 1 lb. fresh asparagus, stemmed, washed and cut into ½-inch pieces 3 eggs, beaten 1½ cups half and half ¼ tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper ¼ tsp. nutmeg 1 tb. vegetable oil 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded Preheat oven to 400 F. Steam asparagus. Beat together eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spread evenly the vegetable oil in an

and beaten egg mixture. Bake until top is brown and custard is firm, 35-40 minutes. Serves 4.

Basic Crepes

Everyone loves crepes, but they are seldom made and served at home. They really are simple to make, and you can fix them either sweet or savory. They are also easy to make ahead of time and store well-wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

2 eggs 1 cup flour ½ cup milk ½ cup water 2 Tbs. melted butter ¼ tsp. salt Ample butter for frying Gently beat eggs and whisk together with flour.

Stir in milk and water. Add melted butter and salt. Heat a small sauté pan and melt a pat of butter until it sizzles. Swirl it around the pan making sure it coats the pan. When pan is ready, add ¼ cup batter, tilting pan, covering pan evenly. At this point, if batter is too thick, incorporate a little more water. Cook two minutes over medium heat. Crepe should be nicely browned. Flip it over with a spatula and brown briefly on the other side. Remove to plate. Repeat procedure, until batter is used up, adding a pat of butter to the pan before frying each crepe.

To serve: Fold crepe and dust with cinnamon sugar. Top with fruit—thawed frozen blueberries or strawberries—or for savory crepes, stuff with creamed spinach, sautéed mushrooms, creamed chicken, or smoked salmon. Serves 3-4.

My grandmother made a mixture of ricotta cheese, a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla, and cinnamon to taste, stuffed and folded each one, then re-fried them in butter just before serving. These were known as blintzes, and eaten with a spoon of sour cream on top. Allow 2-3 crepes per person. This recipe serves 3-4..

Energy Sense

BY PATRICK KEEGAN AND BRAD THIESSEN

Aim for Quality When Managing a Renovation Contractor

D

ear Pat: We followed your advice last month and hired a contractor we think will give us an energy efficient renovation. How do we manage the job to make sure the project turns out right? —Bridget and Neil

Dear Bridget and Neil: Last month, I offered tips on how to hire a good contractor, but it’s smart to realize that after the hiring is complete, contractors need to be managed.

First, you should decide who will be the main contact with your contractor. Clear communication is critical because a renovation that includes energy efficiency improvements comes with extra challenges. A single point of contact will help avoid confusion, conflicts and cost overruns.

Before the work starts, have a discussion with your contractor about quality.

You want the contractor to know you’ll be carefully overseeing the work and that there may be others involved in this oversight, such as building inspectors, your electric cooperative or an independent energy auditor. You can discuss the standards of a professional, high-quality job. And you can agree on the points at which the contractor will pause so you or someone you designate can review the work.

At a minimum, an inspection should take place before you make an interim payment.

10

APRIL 2018

Here are a few examples of interim review points: • The building envelope should be properly sealed before insulation is installed because air leaks increase energy use and reduce comfort.

• Replacement windows should be flashed and sealed before siding and trim are installed, which prevents moisture problems and air leaks.

• Some insulation measures can be inspected before they are sealed up behind walls or ceilings.

Almost all efficiency measures require some kind of final inspection.

For example, infrared thermometers can show voids in blown insulation, and fiberglass batts can be visually inspected to ensure there are no air gaps and the batts are not compressed.

HVAC measures require special attention. Nearly half of all HVAC systems are not installed correctly, which often causes uneven temperature distribution throughout the home, along with higher energy bills. EnergyStar® has a special program to ensure quality HVAC installation. Forced air systems typically have poorly balanced supply and return air delivery that can often be improved. Air flow can be measured at each register, and

enchantment.coop

HVAC technicians or energy auditors can use diagnostic equipment to measure air leakage and air flow.

a duct blaster test can identify and quantify duct leakage.

When you review the work, it may be helpful to take photos or to bring in an energy auditor. Be sure to have these inspections outlined in the contract and discussed beforehand so the contractor is comfortable.

It will be tempting to add “just one more thing” along the way, and the contractor may agree a change is simple and possible within the timeframes. Contractors and customers often miscommunicate about change orders and end up disagreeing about additional costs when the project is completed. Before you make any changes, be sure to get a written cost quote. If it’s significant, you can then weigh the cost against the benefit of the change.

It’s a good idea to maintain good records as the project progresses.

These records could be helpful for

building inspectors or to qualify for rebates or tax credits.

When the renovation is complete, it may be tempting to sign the check, shake hands and breathe a sigh of relief that it’s all over. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, it may be worth the extra step of having a final audit by a licensed energy auditor.

My neighbors were saved from a home renovation disaster when an energy audit discovered the energy efficiency contractor had failed to produce the promised efficiencies. The contractor had to perform thousands of dollars’ worth of improvements to fulfill the contract before my neighbors made the final payment.

Once you confirm the work is 100 percent complete, you can write a check for the final payment, then sit back and enjoy your revitalized, more energy-efficient home!

The Power Behind Your Power

By Anne Prince

A

s April arrives, it brings with it the showers that produce spring flowers. It also heralds the beginning of a potentially stormy season that can inherently include power outages. While electric co-ops strive to provide reliable electricity to members, there are times when Mother Nature has other plans. Most of us can ride out a storm from the comfort and convenience of our homes. However, there is a group of professionals that spring into action when the weather takes a turn for the worst—co-op lineworkers.

National Lineworker Appreciation Day April 9, 2018

M

ore than 15,000 electric cooperative lineworkers serve on the front lines of our nation’s energy needs, maintaining 42 percent of electric distribution lines.

Lineworkers perform intricate work, often in dangerous conditions, to ensure we receive the safe, reliable power we depend on.

Braving stormy weather and other challenging conditions, lineworkers often must climb 40 or more feet in the air, carrying heaving equipment to restore power. Listed as one of the 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S., lineworkers must perform detailed tasks next to high voltage power lines. Lineworkers perform, their job today goes far beyond climbing to the top of a pole to repair a wire. They are also information experts that can pinpoint an outage from miles away and restore power remotely. Line crews use their laptops and cell phones to map outages, take pictures of the work they have done and troubleshoot problems. In communities throughout New Mexico, electric co-op lineworkers are responsible for keeping over 42,000 miles of lines working, in order to bring power to your home and your local community 24/7, regardless of the weather, holidays or personal considerations.

While April is known for spring showers, there is also a day set aside to “thank a lineworker.” Lineworker Appreciation Day is April 9. So during the month of April, if you see a lineworker, please pause to say thank you to the power behind your power. Let them know you appreciate the hard work they do to keep the lights on, regardless of the conditions.

Tomorrow's Co-op Leaders

By Ariana Kramer

H

igh school senior Joseph “Tyler” Overberger represented New Mexico at the Government-in-Action Youth Tour last June. He was sponsored by the Springer Electric Cooperative. Overberger was also selected to be the New Mexico delegate for the Youth Leadership Council for 2017-18. As such, he participated in the annual meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) held in Nashville, Tennessee this February.

As a member of the Youth Leadership Council, Overberger met with other youth delegates from around the nation to learn about leadership skills and electric cooperatives for a week-long training in Washington, D.C. “We learned a lot about leadership,” says Overberger.

He also learned about the values behind the electric cooperatives in the United States.

“What I love about the cooperatives is how true their morals are. They treat their people very good. I found that very touching. That’s somewhere I would like to work, where you

“The other two days were really, really busy helping with whatever was needed,” says Overberger. Youth delegates handed out question cards, set up chairs and other tasks at the NRECA conference.

Asked what he learned, Overberger says he was impressed by the diversity of people attending the conference. “There were so many people there with different backgrounds and they were all there for the same purpose. We all had one thing in common. I thought that was kind of neat.”

Back at home, Overberger recently visited the state legislature to request funding for the New Mexico Main Street program which revitalizes downtown districts. Overberger is on the board of directors for Harding County Main Street which serves the towns of Roy, Mosquero and Solano.

Overberger graduates May 19th from Roy Municipal Schools. He says he has enjoyed

Overberger has this advice for other youth: “We’re all presented with opportunities. It’s just a matter of if we go out and get them or not. It doesn’t take that much more to seize an opportunity to brighten your future…

Don’t try to be somebody else. Just be the leader that you are. Seize opportunity.”

have a connection with your employer,” says Overberger. He added, “The co-ops have been around for a real long time supporting the rural communities.”

Overberger also spent four days in Nashville as a youth delegate. The first two days were filled with touring the city. One of their most memorable stops was the historic Ryman Auditorium, original home of the Grand Ole Opry and the place where Johnny Cash met June Carter.

the extra attention he has received as the only senior in his small, rural school. “You learn a lot more because it’s literally one-on-one teaching,” Overberger says.

This summer Overberger will keep busy building fences, branding cattle, mowing lawn, and cutting firewood for his various businesses. He plans to attend New Mexico State University this fall and major in Law and Society with a minor in Political Science.

His long-term goal is to enter politics.

Chirp, Chirp Your Way to Birdwatching

By Gayle Gresham

L

ooking for your travel to take flight this year? Become a birder and enjoy all kinds of new places to visit while adding bird species to your list and enjoying time spent wherever this activity takes you.

Birdwatching is rising in popularity in the United States a nd t h roug hout t he world .

Anyone can do it, whether you live in the city, the suburbs or the country. You can set up feeders in your backyard and keep a list of the species that visit you. Or, if you love to travel and enjoy birdwatching, you can visit wilderness refuges, travel to bird festivals, and take guided tours of bird habitats anywhere in the world.

Backyard Birdwatching It’s great to start bird watching by simply looking out your window and seeing the birds that congregate in your yard or patio. Is that a bluebird? What type of bluebird? An eastern, western, or mountain bluebird?

You can go old school by checking a field guide like Peterson’s or Sibley’s or you can look up bluebirds on www.allaboutbirds.org (Cornell Lab of Ornithology).

Check the range map and see which is common in your region. Look at the markings and distinctive features. Many birds show enough variation to make an ID with ease. The “All About Birds” website also contains recordings of each bird’s song so identification can be made by the birdsong.

Going high-tech with your identification tools can make it easier to take when you travel. Download the Merlin Bird ID app (Cornell Lab of Ornithology) to your cell phone. The app asks five questions to help identify a bird. It then shows bird photos matching the description. Or, take a photo of the bird, upload it to Merlin and it will identify the bird for you.

Those who catch birdwatching fever often keep a list of the birds they have seen or heard. A “life list” consists of all of the bird species seen in your lifetime while a “yearly list” names every bird species seen in a year. You can keep a list in a notebook, a special birding notebook, or it can be a simple notation of date and place beside the picture in a guide book. Computer list options include Birder’s Diary software, which also allows photos; or use the eBird mobile app for cell phones which uses GPS coordinates for bird species sightings.

As you become familiar with the birds in your backyard, you will be able to recognize when a bird not common to your area appears. When you see a rare bird, you can report it through eBird or the American Birding Society so other birders can visit your backyard and add it to their lists.

Local Birding If birdwatching has captured your attention and your curiosity has grown beyond the birds showing up in your backyard, then what? It’s time for some birding excursions.

First, call someone you know who is a birdwatcher. Don’t know anyone? Start asking around. You might be surprised by which of your friends are birders. Ask at your library about birdwatching clubs or search the internet for local and state birding clubs and chapters of the Audubon Society for programs, events and field trips. You can go out on your own, but

it’s helpful to have someone teach you how to locate and identify the birds. Grab your binoculars, camera and cell phone and head to the wilderness or park.

Tree swallows get into a tiff in a backyard tree.

Birding in The Land of Enchantment Birding opportunities in New Mexico are as diverse as is the landscapes of mountains, prairies, river courses—and our yards.

One can see long-billed curlews nesting and walking about in the short-grass prairies of eastern New Mexico and along some water courses. They are all leg and bill, the cutest bird, the kind you would expect to see wading along a shoreline.

They are in fact a shorebird and make a living outside the nesting season foraging near water.

In the spring and early summer they will surprise you—a two-foot-tall gangly bird with a three-footwide wingspan and a nine-inch sickle-shaped bill wading not in water, but in grass. These birds enjoy nesting on the prairies and will catch you unaware as they lift off in labored flight.

A more common sight to see in New Mexico is the roadrunner. So aptly named. This member of the cuckoo family would rather run than fly.

When they do take to the wing, they sort of show us why. Flight seems difficult.

Labored. The roadrunner flies only short distances, a few hundred feet, when it’s startled. The birds forage on insects and reptiles and live from the Bootheel to Raton. It’s our official state bird and lives here the year-round.

The coming season, more daylight and warmer temperatures, draw birds back home to nest. From mountains to the low grasslands, the birdsong will embalm the air and enliven your senses. Spring is here. The birds are nesting. Go look.

Visit the Audubon New Mexico website for bird information: nm.audubon.org

One way to learn from an experienced watcher is to join the Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count which allows beginner birders to take part. Participants count every bird seen or heard in a 15-mile diameter designated circle over a 24-hour period of time between December 14 and January 5. The count acts as an annual census of birds across the world.

Travel Birding Your interest in birds is now piqued and you’d like to see species of birds that are not local to your area. It’s time to travel!

You can either travel to see birds in a certain locale or go on vacation and see what interesting birds are in your planned location. Once again, the internet can help you identify places to see birds. There are more than 562 National Wildlife Refuges and 38 wetland management districts in the United States. Visit the www.fws.gov/refuges website for locations and information. There are also 10,234 state parks and 58 national parks, giving you plenty of opportunity to travel and find birds.

At least 38 states have American Birding Association Birding Trails. A designated Birding Trail system links wildlife refuges, state parks and national parks in a state, along with noted habitats found along the route. The trails may be hiking trails or highways to drive. Information on state birding trails can be found on the internet.

The World Birding Center in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas features nine locations with more than 500 species of birds at the convergence of two major migration flyways. Bird festivals are another great way to see specific birds and take part in workshops and tours. (Many festivals coincide with migration to see the greatest number of species in a set place.

Competitive Birding You’ve learned to identify birds, enjoy the challenge and you’re ready to dive further into birding, perhaps on a competitive level. There are various events for all ages sponsored by bird organizations. Join The Big Sit! hosted by Bird Watcher’s Digest— 24 hours of sitting in a 17-foot diameter circle with a team counting every birds species seen.

“Big Day” events or birdathons are sponsored by bird associations and often raise pledges for their societies and conservation by counting how many species of birds can be seen in 24 hours. They can be done individually or in teams. The Global Big Day is sponsored by eBird and on May 13, 2017, almost 20,000 birders from 150 countries turned in 50,000 checklists with 6,564 species of birds spotted in one day. That is more than 60 percent of all of the species of birds in the world.

Stretching that day to a year, The Big Year is the ultimate challenge in birding. It is a competition to see who can see the most birds in one year in a specific geographical area.

A little curiosity and a greater awareness of birds can take you in many directions. Travel, see the country, see the world, see the birds as you go! Maybe a Big Year is in your future.

To reduce the risk of fires caused by humans, many state and federal agencies have issued restrictions on public use. Some areas are closed until the fire danger decreases. Before planning a trip to a National Forest, National Park, or other public lands, call the toll-free Fire Restrictions Hotline at 877-864-6985, or click on USFS Region 3 Fire Information Restrictions page.

Campfires

Restrictions vary, in most areas, all wood and charcoal fires are prohibited, but gas or propane campstoves are allowed.

Other areas allow campfires only in established campgrounds with fire grills or pits. A few areas have banned all ignition sources, including campstoves.

leave it unattended; be sure it is dead out and cold to the touch before you go.

Vehicles

Parking in tall grass or shrubs can start fires because the hot catalytic converter comes into contact with dry plant materials. Dry, windy conditions can turn smoldering grass into a wall of flames.

Don’t park where vegetation is touching the underside of your vehicle. Motorcycles and ATVs should have spark arresters.

Smoking

Fireworks

The Drought Monitor focuses on broad-scale conditions. Local conditions may vary. See accompanying text summary for forecast statements.

D4 Exceptional Drought

Know Before You Go

Sparks from chainsaws, welding torches, and other equipment can cause wildfires. Use spark arresters. Refrain from welding and all use of sparkcreating machines when the fire danger is high. Follow forest restrictions and closures; chainsaws may not be allowed if the fire danger is extreme.

Fireworks are not allowed anywhere on National and State Forests, National Parks, and other public lands. Many local governments may also prohibit fireworks until the fire danger decreases.

D3 Extreme Drought

Chainsaws and Other Equipment

Smoldering cigarettes can start fires hours after being dropped or thrown away. Never toss cigarettes out of cars. Be aware of smoking restrictions in Forests, National Parks, BLM, and other public lands. Smoking may be restricted to inside vehicles or in paved parking areas.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

THE AFTER DEATH CHRONICLES

By David J. Weber and William de Buys 2017, $30, 368 pages Yale University Press; www.yalebook.com

By Annie Mattingley 2017, $18.95, 256 pages Hampton Roads Publishing 978-465-0504

By Loretta Hall 2017, 42 Pages, $16.95 Rio Grande Books, www.lpdpress.com

“Death is a shadow that haunts us from that first moment in childhood” when we understand that all things die. Mattingley has collected hundreds of personal accounts of people who have experienced convincing communication with deceased loved ones. It might be a clue from nature, a butterfly or bird that follows you around. Or synchronous events, electrical disturbances, a vision or dream. She also includes a chapter on reincarnation.

Eighty percent of her interviews were with women, but after death, an equal number of men made contact, she says.

Dr. Raymond Moody, author of the groundbreaking book, Life After Death, calls this, “A wonderful new book I recommend highly…” Mattingley has a Masters in Consciousness Studies and has worked as a hospice volunteer. Her story begins with her deceased daughter speaking to her in the early morning hours. Mattingley says, “These mysteries are worthy of exploration…

After-death contact is often profoundly healing. It’s medicine for the soul.”

Five stars.

Elementary school children visit Spaceport America south of Socorro to learn about “space exploration, its history and its future.” The illustrations are charming, but it seems like a missed opportunity for a child to ask: “Where does SpaceShip Two actually go?” What would you see on a two-and-a-half hour suborbital flight? What does “suborbital” mean? There have been 39 vertical and seven horizontal launches from Spaceport, but so far, none of them sent up private citizens. Up to 400 customers have paid to take a ride on the SpaceShip, a spectacular adventure that would bring money into New Mexico and about 2,000 new jobs. Will ordinary people someday have a chance to orbit the Earth? Have any of the SpaceShips ever crashed? If you had a chance, would you go? NASA has given $500,000 to a program for students to design experiments that can be launched into space from Spaceport America. How cool would it be to have included that?

While editing the writing of the explorer John Wesley Powell at the Clements Center for Southwest Studies, SMU-Dallas, de Buys became friends with David J. Weber who was researching 15 iconic sites in the Southwest including Grand Canyon, Zuni, Santa Fe, and Mesa Verde. When Weber died in 2010, his family asked de Buys to help finish Weber’s book. This fascinating culturally-layered literary account of first impressions of iconic destinations across Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, and southern Colorado, described by explorers, missionaries and non-native travelers, offers inside stories and stunning landscapes, some of which no longer exist. The stretch of the Grand Canyon now drowned by Lake Powell, is described as “Stately facades, august cathedrals, amphitheaters…tower, minaret, dome and spire …the vastness of every surrounding object, produces an impression of awe that is ultimately…painful.” A century and a half ago, scientists thought the Earth was only 6,000. First impressions of Grand Canyon altered their historical timeline. Five stars.

MIGUEL & MICHELLE VISIT SPACEPORT AMERICA

BLACK SHEEP, WHITE CROW

By Jim Kristofic 2017, 120 pages, $19.95 University of New Mexico Press 800-249-7737; www.unmpress.com When his father finds work in Texas, Kameron leaves behind his friends and his cell phone and moves to grandma’s sheep camp on the Navajo Reservation.

He has to herd grandma’s sheep to the windmill every day. The boys at school say he stinks of sheep. They bully him and steal his stuff. But Kameron meets an old storyteller who teaches him about Diné (Navajo) traditional values: take care of family, work hard, embrace the struggles, and learn how to endure.

Kameron becomes the hero of the story and wins favors from the animals by helping them in times of need. “We always take a risk when we are good to people,” the old man says. “But it is a risk that makes us so much stronger.”

Kameron learns the two most valuable words in any language are, “I forgive.”

The humble hogan begins to feel like “a place of family and forgiveness. A place where someone could build a fire and keep warm.” Five golden stars.

The reception so far has been fantastic, both within and outside of the indigenous community. The American Indian Library Association gave the 2018 Best Middle School Book award to Tales of the Mighty Code Talkers, while The Wool of Jonesy received an Honor award. Not bad for a publisher only three years old.

Lee is an author himself; his first comic book comes out later this year. Six Killer is “Alice in Wonderland meets Kill Bill set in Osage County,” about a young woman seeking revenge for her sister’s killer. Lee was inspired by the Violence Against Women Act, which originally had gaps that failed to protect Native women.

A

s a boy, Lee Francis loved both the Laguna Pueblo culture of his father and pop culture. “Dad saw that there was no stigma against comic books,” Lee says. “Reading is reading.”

Lee went on to get a PhD in education, teaching middle school through high school at Laguna and Acoma Pueblos.

He gives workshops around the world for Native and indigenous youth, discussing subjects such as comics, poetry, Natives in pop culture, youth empowerment, and leadership.

Yet he wanted to reach even more young people. “I want my former students to find things they can take pride in,” he says. In 2015, he founded Native

Realities Press to publish graphic novels and comic books featuring indigenous and Native American stories. “One of the prominent ways to reach young people is through pop cultural media,” Lee says.

Comics allow a reimagining of Native images and storytelling. “They create a powerful expression that can undo centuries of negative associations of Native people. Unleashing the indigenous imagination is key to moving past the tragic existence we’ve been shackled to.”

Lee notes that many people are creating indigenous pop art. He finds some of his writers and artists through news articles or Facebook, while others reach out to him. He tries to cultivate new expres-

Realities books, posters, and T-shirts are also available online. Items feature historical and legendary characters, including Deer Woman and The Hero Twins.

As if this weren’t enough to keep someone busy, Lee is also a founder of Indigenous Comic Con, which attracted about 2,000 people last year, Natives and non-Natives alike. The convention features all types of indigenous pop culture, including games, books, art, movies and television, puppetry, and interactive activities, as well as cosplay (dressing in costume).

Vendors sell goods while guest speakers and panels discuss topics of interest.

What does the future hold? The press will publish more books and perhaps interactive media. “We’re working on

Backyard Trails BY CRAIG SPRINGER

Western Meadowlark a Sure Sign of Spring

I

have to admit I was caught by surprise. On an early morning walk near my southern Santa Fe County home, I heard birdsong arcing through the cold air that awoke my senses that seemed to have been laid dormant by winter. Though I hadn’t heard the melodious notes for months, it was at once immediately recognizable.

A western meadowlark, perched atop a gnarly fence post made from an old juniper branch thick as a thigh and grayed by wind and sun and time, gurgled his musical song. It sounded like notes from a piccolo, played by a musician warming up her chops at the beginning of a performance. All the notes were clear and sharp.

But meadowlark’s song was no warm-up, it was the performance.

The flutey call spoke one thing: spring is here.

The long gold light of dawn backlit the bird, a welcome sight to see, the familiar silhouette of a bird of the plains. Meadowlarks are anything but plain. Though they are close kin to the rusty blackbird, a redwing blackbird and even the crow, the meadowlark is predominately yellow on the breast, as if stolen from the morning light. Its black bib spanned over the top of the breast in a crescent shape is the most black you will see. Its backside looks like the drab grasses and soil where it lives. In flight, white feathers tip the sides of the tail, a sure sign it’s a meadowlark and not a quail. They do have some similarity to quails in their habit: meadowlarks are a gregarious bird. You rarely find them alone. If you bump up one from the grasses, others are sure to follow. They will fly a hundred feet and alight on the ground and gather up again.

Telephone poles and fence lines—usually the top strand of three-strand barbed-wire fence or the top of a post is where you’ll most often see a meadowlark perch. They’re comfortable alighting on a cholla or on a bulbous juniper at the edge of the prairie.

Prairie is to the meadowlark what a pond is to a duck. It’s what they call home. You won’t find a western meadowlark in the forest. Their favored haunt is in their name: meadow. It’s there they make a living, walking on long legs eating bugs and singing a flutey song that keeps you in step with the season.

The Seven Cooperative Principles Cooperatives around the world operate according to the same set of core principles and values, adopted by the International Cooperative Alliance.

Cooperatives trace the roots of these principles to the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in 1844. These principles are a key reason America’s electric cooperatives operate differently from other electric utilities, putting the needs of their members first.

1. Voluntary and Open Membership: Co-op membership is open to anyone able to use its services.

2. Democratic Member Control: Co-ops elect their leaders, who collectively make decisions.

3. Members’ Economic Participation: Members contribute financially to their cooperative.

4. Autonomy and Independence: Cooperatives are autonomous, and any agreements must maintain their independence.

5. Education, Training, and Information: Cooperatives educate and train their members and employees.

6. Cooperation Among Cooperatives: Cooperatives work together to benefit all co-op members.

7. Concern for Community: Cooperatives are committed to improving the communities they call home.
