TYPES OF TEA
DINNER INCLUDED
This week: white
By Rebecca Ponder
As discussed in previous articles, all tea comes from the leaves of the Camelia sinensis plant. The styles of tea are produced by altering the shape and chemistry of the leaf, unromantically called “processing” or “manufacture.” Tea processing includes five basic steps (plucking, withering, rolling, oxidation and firing). Some teas don’t utilize all of these steps, while other teas repeat them several times. These variations result in five major types of tea: white, green, oolong, black and pu’erh tea. This article focuses on white tea; subsequent articles will discuss the other four types. White Tea is essentially unprocessed tea. The name is derived from the fuzzy white “down” that appears on the unopened or recently opened buds – the newest growth on the tea bush. White tea is simply plucked and allowed to wither dry. That’s it, really. If the weather isn’t cooperating, the leaves may be put into a gentle tumble dryer on very, very low heat to assist. but the leaves are not rolled, shaped, etc. Some minimal oxidation does happen natu-
rally, as it can take a full day or two to air dry the tea leaves. This is why some white teas show leaves of differing colors (white, green and brown). White teas produce very pale green or yellow liquor and are the most delicate in flavor and aroma. White teas are also very high in polyphenols and antioxidants and can be enjoyed any time of day.

The art of creation – By Janie Smith There is an extraordinary amount of artistic talent in lincoln County. This was evident at the Holiday Hoedown hosted by the Woman’s Club of Carrizozo Dec. 6 and 7. Two outstanding displays, one of pottery and the other of hand loomed and handmade woolen goods were the creations of a husband and wife, Scott and Susan Goewey of Carrizozo. Their story is one of the artistic instincts that lead to an understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. Scott and Susan Goewey met in 1966 at The Rochester Institute of Technology in New York State where both were enrolled in the School for American Craftsmen. Scott was taking an intensive and demanding course in ceramics which was taught by Frans Wildenhain a renowned German potter who had immigrated to the united States after World War II. Scott attended classes five days a week for year and a half and then for lack of tuition funds could not continue.

A path to knowledge
However, Scott says that after he dropped out of school, his real instruction began. At that time there was a working farm in Middlesex, New York that was a haven for creative people of all kinds. This farm was owned by louise March who was born in Switzerland. March had immigrated to the United States, and had visited Syracuse, New York in 1957 where a group of people interested in the philosopher George Gurdjieff’s ideas formed. Since March had studied with Gurdjieff and been his personal secretary, she became the leader of this group. She bought the farm in 1967 as a center for people interested in self development through regular disciplined work in crafts and agriculture. People did not come to this farm as craftsmen; they used the materials to discover who they were. It was here that Scott Goewey met his mentor, Louise March, who was to become the dominant force in his artistic and personal development. One of the first things that March told Scott was that he must learn to throw 100 pieces of pottery in one day. Scott said that at the time he thought this was impossible, but since he had come to the farm for instruction, he began to attempt it. Skepticism, however, lurked in his mind. Gradually the number of pieces he could make in one day increased until one day he made 50 pieces. This was a breakthrough for Scott, and the next day he made 55 pieces. Suddenly he realized that the impossible was possible and that freed his mind from the confines of conventional thought. From that moment his art became a path that had no limitations. While Scott was immersed in his pottery at the farm, Susan was still enrolled in the School for American Craftsmen in Syracuse, but she also had started to live at the farm in Middlesex. There she gardened and cooked for 20 to 30 people three times a week. Since the farm came with sheep, Susan also helped clean and card the wool from the sheep. When a beautiful Swedish loom was donated to the farm, Susan began weaving fabric and making clothing, rugs and blankets. She says she was drawn to this because, “you start with basic materials and make a finished product. I like the whole process of spinning, dying and weaving.” She continued, “One of the most interesting things in weaving is getting into a rhythm and everything begins to gel and flow into shape.” Susan received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1968. She
continued to live at the Middlesex farm until 2000. Scott left the Middlesex farm in 1994. After an adventurous path his footsteps led him to Carrizozo where he purchased a place in 1999. because of a commitment in Arkansas, he and Susan could not move to Carrizozo until 2005. Here Scott’s pottery continues to evolve. His latest pieces have a motif of a free flying crane that seems to draw you to far off places. Scott says that he was going to display his pottery a year ago in October at the annual Crane Festival in San Antonio, N.M. He wanted to have something that would sell so he decided to study the cranes. He observed the birds in flight at the bird sanctuary in San Antonio. He read books about them. Scott says that studying the birds gives you, “a respect for life, because putting that life into the clay is so difficult.” He went on to say that “putting whoever I am at that moment into the clay transforms the clay into something not only useful but beautiful.” When asked why he initially was drawn to create pottery he said, “If I could anchor myself in the clay it would allow me to be less hindered by my habitual nature.” Scott has written a book of poetry titled “This Vessel, Poems by a Potter.” One of these poems, “The Ringing” has a stanza that reflects both Scott and Susan’s approach to their art:

With the creation of useful things of beauty, they have given the world not only a material object, but the gift of themselves.

December 11, 2013
Mike Lagg, American craftsman and inventor By Rosalyn Stevenson Mike lagg, a New Mexico resident for 23 years, says he likes Carrizozo, where he now lives, because it’s so small. “All the artists in town are interrelated one way or another. One aspect of art community that I think people long for is to be noticed when they accomplish something, and to be noticed when they leave town for a while,” he says. lagg and his partner, Paula Wilson, have headed a home style art organization for the past two years in Carrizozo. Momo Zozo was started “in order to interact with the community, locals and artists, so they can see what we are doing,” lagg said. “When we started Momo Zozo it was just a trailer pulled out on Tenth Street where we set up and did things with no real plan. The trailer had atop it a “bead roller” that I made. It’s a tumbler that I put wood pieces in and when
the wind blows or the air from the motion of the trailer moving down the street blows, it moves the wind mill part, the cylinder turns and there’s sandpaper inside that rounds and sands the pieces of wood as they are tossed around. It makes a nice sound as it turns. “We also played a croquette like game with diamond shaped balls I made. And we played “Giant Jinga.” We had two-foot tall sticks, about 200 of them stacked up and you had to move one stick from the stack and put it on the top. If the whole stack falls down, you lose.

Carlsbad ranchers honored for landscape restoration efforts, receive 2013 ‘Restore New Mexico’ award Albuquerque — On Dec. 7, at the New Mexico Joint Stockmen’s Convention, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) presented ranchers Justin and Brooke Wilson with the 2013 BLM Restore New Mexico Land Stewardship Award. They received the Award for their work to improve range conditions on their ranch and public land near Carlsbad. The annual award recognizes exemplary efforts to restore New Mexico’s landscapes to a healthy and productive condition. Justin and Brooke Wilson have been the grazing permittees on the Angell Draw grazing allotment since 2010. Just a few miles north of Carlsbad, the Angell Draw allotment includes more than 12,000 acres of Federal lands and 1,600 acres of state and private lands. In 2011, in coordination with the BLM, the Wilsons began aerial herbicide treatments for invasive areas of mesquite and creosote on their allotment. To date, they have treated more than 8,300 acres of public, state, and private lands. Through the Wilson’s efforts and cooperation, the upland watersheds within this allotment have benefited greatly from the improved grass community, the reduced soil erosion, and the improved water infiltration and retention. “As a result of their dedication to improve productivity and rangeland conditions, even during our extended drought conditions, it is a pleasure to present Justin and Brooke Wilson with the Restore
