Civil engineers emphasize water conservation

By Jennifer Elmore Air Force Civil Engineer, Center Public Affairs TYNDAll Air ForCe bAse, Fla. — on April 22, the Air Force will recognize earth Day, a time to show support for the environment. This year, the Air Force is focusing on water reduction and reuse. Water projects may not attract news headlines like energy projects, but the money and critical resources they save deserve attention.

“An emerging part of the energy program is water conservation,” said Ken gray, acting energy director at the Air Force Civil engineer Center. “it’s critical because in a number of locations, specifically Texas, where they’ve had a drought, reservoirs are falling drastically and water is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity.”

AFCeC engineers work with major commands and installations to identify, fund and implement water conservation projects. In fiscal year 2012, the Air Force funded 15 water projects that are expected to save two billion gallons of water and $1.07 million a year.

“As with energy projects, a water project is not considered or funded unless it provides a positive return on investment,” said gray.

AFCeC studied utility rates across the Air Force over several years and found the cost of

water is going up 10 percent a year, a rate much faster than natural gas and electricity. rising costs, federal mandates and a dwindling resource has led to an increase in water reuse projects, xeriscaping and leak detection studies.

At holloman AFb, water is especially precious. The base relies on five wells and a lake more than 80 miles away to provide its water.

The base constructed its reuse project in 2011. base Civil engineer lt. Col. Donald ohlemacher said, “our water reclamation facility takes water from the base wastewater treatment plant and pretreats it to create secondary irrigation for the golf course. The project enables us to provide 600,000 gallons of water daily to the golf course with a total of 70 million gallons of water a year.”

The project, which includes a tank and pipeline, saves $90,000 annually and will pay for itself in five years.

All Airmen and their families can save water and money. At home, shorten showers one minute and brush your teeth efficiently. Check for and repair leaking faucets and toilets. Avoid watering the lawn at midday to prevent high evaporation.

Capture and reuse rain water. Don’t water the lawn during droughts and wash only full loads of laundry.

Post-fire damage keeps Bonito Lake in peril

By Eugene Heathman Editor Alamogordo Mayor susie galea made a grim announcement regarding the after fire effects on bonito lake to a crowd of more than 200 people during last summer’s rally ‘For our Forest’s health’ held at Wingfield Park following the little bear Fire.

“The damage to beautiful bonito lake is Susie Galea already evident.

Mayor of Following the fire Alamogordo approximately one-half inch of rain fell in the burned area around bonito lake depositing 35 feet of silt which is already causing problems,” galea said. heavy seasonal rains and silt de-

posits threatened to push water over the dam itself if the spillway may not be able to accommodate the surge. galea explained that with the draining come problems. “underwater dive teams and heavy equipment were deployed to clear the silt lines that have been clogged in order to get the adequate drainage needed to stay in the safe zone,” galea said last year. The water level was at 11 feet below the spillway and the goal is to be at least 20 feet.

At the time of the rally, galea further explained that Alamogordo’s water supply was about 77 percent of capacity but holloman AFb uses most of the water from the bonito Pipeline which has been shut down. “We are going to have to go back on other water sources and old wells while we work with holloman as it may be 10 years before water flows through the bonito Pipeline again,” galea said. bonito lake supplies Alamogordo 13 to 30 percent of the six million gallons of water each day.

‘Elvis Lives!’

Many a music aficionado has declared Elvis Presley to be the greatest musician America ever produced.

The cultural icon, who continues to be the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music, was an extraordinarily uninhibited entertainer, singer, actor, hip-shaking performer that forever made an imprint on American culture.

During his four-decade career he released an amazing body of pop ballads, gospel and blues, as well as rockabilly – an up-tempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues that popularized the energized sound.

He was nominated for 14 Grammys, won three, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36.

Elvis died quite suddenly in 1977 when just 42, but his music and life still shines.

“Elvis Lives,” which fills Spencer Theater spotlights on Sunday, April 28 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., is an electrifying multi-media and live musical journey celebrating Elvis’s star-studded life.

An unforgettable performance experience, the mega-production brings to life Elvis’s iconic style – the extraordinary quality and three octave range of his voice – as well as dynamic moves, stunning deliveries and trademark swagger – which continues to intrigue audiences of all generations around the world.

Mescalero Apache Tribe Leasing Authorization Act Washington, D.C. — The House of Representatives passed HR 1461, the Mescalero Apache Tribe Leasing Authorization Act introduced by Congressman Steve Pearce. The legislation authorizes the Mescalero Apache Tribe to lease, contract, or transfer adjudicated water rights.

“I am pleased with the passage of this bill, which has bipartisan support in the House and the Senate,” Pearce said.

“The ability to lease these water rights will generate great economic opportunity for the Mescalero Tribe, and will provide water for New Mexicans when we need it most.”

Frederick Chino, Sr., president of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, thanked congressman Pearce for his work. “The Mescalero Apache Tribe is working hard to ensure that the future is bright for our people and surrounding communities,” said Chino. “Water is one of our most precious resources and HR 1461 will allow our Tribe to better manage our water and allow us to work with our neighboring communities on water usage. We thank Rep. Steven Pearce for his leadership on passage of this critical bill and for his friendship and partnership. Working together, we can revitalize the area we all share in a way that allows our communities to grow and prosper for all that live here.”

The bill also honors the right for Native American tribal self-determination, by permitting the Tribe to make sovereign decisions with the water, which was granted to the Tribe as a result of a 1993 New Mexico court decision. Revenue gained from leasing this water would enable the Tribe to invest in vital services for their reservation,

such as infrastructure improvements, elder care and scholarship programs.

Fellow New Mexicans, Congressmen Lujan and Heinrich, were cosponsors of this legislation. The bill is identical to legislation introduced by Senator Jeff Bingaman in the Senate.

a. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Standard 51001a; or b. Appropriate Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) recommended practice; 9.

In the past two weeks, the Fire Danger Rating for the Smokey Bear and Sacramento Ranger Districts has been elevated to “HIGH,” however there are no fire restrictions on these two districts at this time. “Based on differences in elevation, vegetation, and varying precipitation amounts between the Guadalupe Ranger District, and both the Smokey Bear and Sacramento Ranger Districts, conditions are more extreme in the low country currently.

These conditions prompted the action to start the Stage II fire restrictions,” said Troy Hagan, Deputy Fire Staff for the Lincoln National Forest. “As the season progresses, constant evaluation and monitoring of local fuel conditions continues, and results will be recorded and used to track trends which may validate the need for further actions in fire prevention measures. These may include additional fire restrictions in the future. Discussions are ongoing, both internally and with our partners,” Hagan added.

Current information regarding fire restrictions will be posted on http:// firerestrictions.us/ this link can also be accessed via http://nmfireinfo.com/ and the Lincoln’s website www.fs.usda.gov/ lincoln. Follow us on Twitter: http:// twitter.com/LincolnUSForest.

CHASING ICE

April 23, 2013

in the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the earth’s changing climate.

Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. but that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.

“Chasing ice” is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The extreme ice survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the

world’s changing glaciers.

As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. it takes years for balog to see the fruits of his labor. his hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. “Chasing ice” depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet. For more information, visit www.chasingice.com.

This documentary will be presented at the eNMu-ruidoso’s Water Conference on April 26, at 6 p.m., in Room 103. The film is free and is sponsored by eNMu-ruidoso’s chapter of the Wilderness society.
