Snowy River Cave discovery celebrates 12th year By Eugene Heathman editor The Snowy River Cave discovery occurred in September 2001, by a team doing work under project lead John Corcoran in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management. The team leader was John McLean and members Lloyd Swartz, Andrew Grieco and Don Becker discovered what would become the world’s longest underground river of calcite. Before exploration and documentation could begin, an environmental assessment had to be carefully prepared by the BLM cave specialist in coordination with the Discovery Team and the caving community. This thorough process took two years and by July 4, 2003, the first formal trip was ready. The Fort Stanton - Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area (NCA) was established in 2009 to protect, conserve, and enhance the unique and nationally important historic, cultural, scientific, archaeological, natural, and educational subterranean cave resources of the Fort Stanton - Snowy River Cave system. The NCA includes approximately 25,080 acres. The NCA was once known as the Fort Stanton Military Reservation. In 1855, the U.S. Cavalry established Fort Stanton as a cavalry fort. During these tumultuous times, the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry Buffalo Soldiers were sent to the New Mexico Territory to protect settlers in the area. The historic fort and its buildings are managed by the New Mexico State Parks Division. The lands
surrounding the fort are managed by the BLM. Within the NCA is Fort Stanton Cave, the third longest cave in New Mexico. This cave was explored by soldiers posted at the fort as evidenced by their inscriptions within the cave. According to Lynda Sánchez, a local author and historian, “The FSCSP has four expeditions a year and we have teams that do a variety of work inside and outside of the cave. Dr. Ron Lipinski, a Sandia Lab employee, caver and physicist is in the process of developing a simulation or 3D approach to visiting Snowy River. He is using photos from the cave and an Avatar-kind of presentation.” Sánchez contends the team is the first to do this for tourists who may wish to visit caves but can’t do so because of physical limitations or regulations keeping caves closed.

ties. Many other historically significant living history events will bring the Civil War experience at Fort Stanton back to life. A rare collection of antique firearms will be on display in the cafeteria all day Saturday. Throughout the day infantry, cavalry and artillery drills featuring the firing of cannon will take place on the fort’s pristine parade ground which has changed little since the fort was built. A special presentation and battle re-enactment by the Mescalero Apache Warriors is scheduled for Saturday. Visitors will also be presented with the wonders of Snowy River with the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project. The lands surrounding the fort are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Within the National Conservation Area is Fort Stanton Cave, the third longest cave in New Mexico. This cave was explored by soldiers posted at the fort as evidenced by their inscriptions within the cave. Snowy River is a significant passage within Fort Stanton Cave. In 2001, this large diameter passage was discovered after more than 30 years of cavers investigating strong air flows coming through breakdown in the cave. Snowy River receives its name from a bright white crystal calcite formation covering the bottom of the passage. Relax in the afternoon with a Ladies’ tea aocial and Victorian fashion show on the lawn then later concludes with the Saturday evening military ball. Sunday will feature cavalry and artillery drills as well as historic period church services in the Fort Stanton chapel. The foundation envisions hosting three or four major events each summer and hopes visitor’s imaginations of Fort Stanton Live! will entertain the possibilities of indulging themselves in the fort’s rich and diverse
history, camping, horseback riding, hiking, bike riding, exploring nearby Snowy River Cave, and an experience with a flair for life in the late 1800s. Fort Stanton is the third most visited state monument in New Mexico with approximately 10,000 visitors per year. Fort Stanton Live!, one of the foundations largest fundraisers, attracts approximately 1,800 visitors. Although some consider the future of state-funded parks and monuments like Fort Stanton as uncertain due to tightening budgets, Fort Stanton Foundation President Clinton Smith embraces the legacy of the fort as being an unwritten book. Smith emphasizes the continued need of a strong volunteer base and the support of professionals to accomplish the foundation’s goals. “Sustaining such a significant historical monument takes a constant effort of working on grants, planning which projects at the fort have highest priority and historical value, and the continuous task of supporting the plan with funding,” Smith said. The journey through the fascinating history of Fort Stanton begins at the museum, which features a comprehensive exhibit. An introductory video provides breathtaking images and informative interpretive content brings the rich history and heritage of Fort Stanton to life. Fort Stanton’s museum was recently restored through a Save America’s Treasures grant. Initially, the museum building was a soldier’s barracks built in 1855, then later converted to serve as an administration building for the Public Health Service during the hospital era of the fort. Fort Stanton is easy to find just off the Billy the Kid Scenic Byway (Highway 380) on Highway 220 at the Bonito River. The turnoff to Highway 220 is four miles east of Capitan on the byway or 10 miles west of Lincoln. The fort is also easy to reach on Highway 48, with the turnoff past the airport. Local food vendors will be on hand. To purchase tickets in advance, go online at www.fortstanton.org, or purchase tickets at the Fort Stanton during regular business hours. Tickets are $5 per person, children 15 and under are free. Call 575-354-0341 for more information.
Fort Stanton Live! A living legacy of southwest history By Eugene Heathman
For authentic, American Southwest historical action, look no further than the heart of Lincoln County, Fort Stanton. The annual Fort Stanton Live! celebration takes place July 12-14, bringing costumed reenactors from the Civil War and Indian Wars era to the fort for demonstrations, presentations, a candlelight tour, concert and a military ball. Additionally, the event brings southwest history authors, historians dressed in clothing from the era, photographers, artists and a variety of historical vendors to historic Fort Stanton, sharing crafts reminiscent of the late 1800s and other custom handiwork. The celebration of Fort Stanton Live! will showcase more than 160 years of rich southwestern history. Fort Stanton was founded as a military garrison in 1855 and functioned as a fully occupied military fortification through 1896. Fort Stanton became the first tuberculosis hospital in New Mexico, functioned as a working ranch, a Civilian Conservation Corp work camp, and notably functioned as an internment camp for German seamen during World War II. Friday evening will feature candle light and lantern tours allowing visitors to observe soldiers and their families engaged in various activities reminiscent of the early days at the fort. Confederate soldiers will return from patrols and plan for the next day’s activi-

The upcoming racing week at Ruidoso Downs
Ruidoso Downs’ racing returns to the usual Friday through Monday schedule this racing week. The racing action is dominated to trials for Zia Day races on July 28 with trials to the $409,000 Zia Futurity on Friday. Trials for the Zia Derby, Senor Futurity and Senorita Futurity are set for Saturday. First post time is 1 p.m. daily with free parking and free general admission.
Trials for Zia Day stakes dominate Saturday program A preview of three of the richest races on Zia Day, July 28, dominate the Saturday card at Ruidoso Downs with four trials to the $193,731 Rio Grande Senorita Futurity, three trials to the $191,150 Rio Grande Senor Futurity and four trials to the $128,375 Zia Quarter Horse Derby dominating the 12-race program. The $409,000 Zia Quarter Horse Futurity has the largest purse on the Zia Day program and the trials for that 400-yard stakes will be held on Friday. The qualifiers from each set of trials return for their respective finals during Zia Day, which offers New Mexico-breds more than $1 million in purses during the stakes-filled program. First post time is 1 p.m. with free parking and free general admission. The top two finishers in the C.O. Ken Kendrick Stakes at SunRay Park, Lady Genius and Unofficial Winner, head the Senorita Futurity trials for thoroughbred fillies. Each filly drew into the eighth race and they will start
side-by-side with Unofficial Winner in the eighth post position and Lady Genius in the ninth post position. Owned by Bill and Mike Carson with Leach Racing, Lady Genius has won each of her three starts, including stakes in her two latest outs. The Dallas Barton-trained miss won the filly division of the Copper Top Futurity at Sunland Park and then handled fillies again when she won the Kendrick by one-and-one-quarter lengths. Carlos Madeira has ridden her in every start and will be aboard. Unofficial Winner is a maiden after two starts with a pair of secondplace finishes. The Todd Finchertrained miss was a close second in a maiden race before her second-place run in the Kendrick. Aldo Arboleda was up for the Kendrick and retains the mount. Fincher also has a strong hand in the Senor Futurity for thoroughbred males with Cooper Top Futurity Colt Division winner Dandy Don Who starting in the seventh race and Totah
Stakes winner Roll Out The Band in the 11th race. Sam and Sammy Stevens’ homebred Dandy Don Who won the Copper Top Futurity by three quarters of a length before being soundly defeated as the odds-on favorite to Roll Out The Band in the Totah Stakes. Arboleda rides Dandy Don Who from the eighth post position. Brad King and Dale Taylor’s homebred Roll Out The Band has won
his latest two starts by impressive margins after finishing fourth in the colt division of the Copper Top behind Dandy Don Who. The Roll Hennessy Roll gelding won a maiden race by three-and-one-half lengths and then took the Totah Futurity by five-andone-quarter lengths. Alfredo Juarez Jr. has been up for each of his four outs and they start from the eighth post position. Continued on next page

There are two basic types of horse-racing bets – straight bets and exotic bets. The first article in this series, Five easy steps to place your first horse racing bet introduced straight bets including WIN, PLACE and SHOW. This article introduces the reader to EXOTIC bets which fall into two very distinct categories – single-race bets and multi-race bets. This week’s article covers the single-race bets: Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas. These exotic bets allow for multi-horse wagering on individual (single) races. • Exacta: The simplest single-race exotic bet, the Exacta requires the bettor to predict the winning horse and the second-place horse, ‘exactly’ in order. The Exacta bet will pay more than betting either of the horses individually to win or place. • Quinella: Similar to the Exacta, but the Quinella does not require the bettor to predict the order of the first two horses. The bettor has to predict the horses which will finish in the top two places, but does not have to predict which of those two will actually win the race. The Quinella is easier to predict than an Exacta, and also pays less than the Exacta, generally about half of the Exacta payout. • Trifecta: The Trifecta is similar to the Exacta but takes it a step further. It requires the bettor to predict the horses that finish in the top 3 positions in the race in order. Much harder to predict than an Exacta, and will pay out much more. • Superfecta: The most difficult of the singleZIA DAY STAKES TRIALS, from pg. 5 The trials for the Zia Quarter Horse Derby will be the first four races on the program and include New Mexico Classic Futurity winner Dashin Ace and Shue Fly Stakes runner-up Taleas Liberty.

I love tomatoes so much that I was unconvinced that anyone could dislike them. As a matter of fact I did not believe my daughter when she told me she did not like tomatoes. And here is where we began our journey with the tomato struggle. At one point in my child’s life, my daughter Maia enjoyed tomatoes, then unexpectedly, she stopped. I am not sure exactly why my daughter decided she didn’t like tomatoes, but she began to refuse them at meals. I figured she was just going through a phase and thought she would eventually get over it, so I continued to give them to her; I just had to hide them. I would slice them in to thin pieces; I would chop them in to tiny pieces; I didn’t think she would notice, but she did. I even tried reasoning with her, often reminding Maia of the value of eating a variety of colors at each meal as each color often represents different vitamins and minerals. She was missing the color red in her daily dietary intake. I even asked her to at least try not to let them bother her and to see eating tomatoes as a small sacrifice for her health. I often reminded her how our taste buds change and one day she might learn to appreciate them again and she should keep trying. But still, she refused and continued to pick them off her meals. Sure she would get a little annoyed with me, but still I continued, and I’m sure she realized I came from a place of love. This struggle continued for about two years and finally one day she actually requested a tomato on her meal. Ha! We achieved success and she now loves tomatoes. In my profession, I have come across numerous picky eaters. I realize

our dislikes for certain foods can come from a variety of different reasons. Sometimes we dislike the flavor, sometimes it is the texture we are uncomfortable with and sometimes we have issues with the colors and appearance. I used to dislike bananas as their mushiness used to gross me out. As I began to include them in to my lifestyle, thinking more about the health benefits instead of the mushiness, I slowly began to enjoy them. Many of us stick to what is comfortable to us, not realizing that we can find more opportunities to enjoy life through new experiences, even if we have tried it once before with no success. Perhaps all we need is to change our outlook. So we shouldn’t give up on fruits and vegetables that we may have written off in the past. We may find that with the right seasonings and mixtures, we can learn to take pleasure in the things we did not think we could enjoy. Here are a few suggestions to incorporate tomatoes into our lifestyle: Tomato basil dip - 2 cups diced roma, hothouse or cherry tomatoes, ¼ cup thinly chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Mix ingredients in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste. This can be served with crackers or on top of toasted garlic bread slices. Tomatoes can also be added to a variety of meals, including sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, salads, burritos and more.

Buffalo Soldiers of Fort Stanton and New Mexico
By William H. Wroth For the New Mexico Office of the State Historian At the end of the Civil War, Black cavalry and infantry troops known as Buffalo Soldiers were sent to the American west to take part in the Indian wars and the protection of settlers. The term “buffalo soldier” is said to have been applied to the Black troops by the Indians because of their short curly hair and their courage and fortitude, much admired qualities of the buffalo. The term was first applied to Black soldiers of the 10th Cavalry Regiment in 1866 by the Kiowa Indians in western Kansas after encounters with them. It was taken as a compliment by the troops and the 10th Cavalry adopted a picture of the buffalo as its regiment’s crest. The origin of the Buffalo Soldiers goes back to the Civil War. Nearly 200,000 Black troops served in the war, approximately 10 percent of the Union forces. Black soldiers fought in 449 engagements during the war, 39 of them considered major battles. They also served to protect against White cattle rustlers and other outlaws in largely lawless southern New Mexico. One of the important duties of Black troops was to serve as escorts for both government and civilian parties crossing New Mexico. These included military personnel, U.S. mail carriers, supply trains of all kinds, private citizens traversing the Butterfield Overland Trail, the southern route to California, and even herds of cattle moving from one location to another. In December 1875 the 9th Cavalry, led by Colonel Edward Hatch, marched from Texas to New Mexico and were stationed at nine different forts. They continued the effort to curtail the raiding of the Apaches in southern New Mexico and soon earned a good reputation for their behavior. A newspaper editor in Mesilla described them as “quiet, sober, polite, and unobtrusive” and maintaining “perfect discipline.” However, their efforts against the Apaches yielded few substantial results due to the Indians’ superior knowledge of the terrain and abilities in desert raiding. The Black soldiers of the 9th Cavalry also played an important role in the effort to maintain law and order in frontier New Mexico. They participated in both
