Page 4 June 2013 El Paso Scene
A
lmost 20 years ago Randy
Limbird started publishing the El
Paso Scene. The first few issues
Randy did everything. He sold ads, built
ads, gathered event information, wrote
articles, laid out the paper by cutting and
pasting, delivered it to the printer and the
next day went out and distributed it.
Those issues were 16 pages, had a hand-
ful of advertisers and listed around 100
events. The 10,000 copies were delivered
mostly in West El Paso.
Today the Scene averages 60 pages,
with over 100 advertisers, every month
lists 600-800 events and the 41,000
copies are distributed from Las Cruces to
Horizon City.
While advances in technology has made
publishing easier, it still amazes people
that, with all this tremendous growth, the
Scene has only grown from one person to
three who work throughout the month.
Randy still does a little of everything,
Lisa Tate writes the feature article and
updates event listings and I take care of
Advertising Sales and Distribution.
Others help out with column writing,
proof-reading and distribution.
Last month, two days before publishing
the May issue, I was involved in a
Scooter versus Pick-up accident that sent
me to the hospital for four days. At that
point I still had customers to contact, ads
to build and distribution to arrange.
Thanks to the pain-relieving morphine, I
have only vague memories of those four
days. I do remember talking to Randy but
I don't know what was said or arranged.
Fortunately, Randy can revert to do-it-all
mode. He got my files, got all my ads
done, added a late call-in ad, arranged for
distribution, and did my customer billing.
He was also observant enough to know
my recovery would take much longer
than I was forecasting and took over re-
fill distribution. Normally Randy takes
care of re-filling locations on the west
side of El Paso and I take care of the rest
of the city. Re-filling racks is time-con-
suming and takes me six to eight hours a
week. Randy did it for me starting from
the far West Side of El Paso and covering
locations in the far East Side that he had
never been to. All that while still taking
care of the West Side.
I was very fortunate to have had many
customers, friends, and neighbors call
and visit me in the hospital and home and
offer their support and help. I hope to
find a special way to thank them all. For
Randy, my writing of this column is a
small thank you card that eliminates one
job of the hundreds and hundreds he does
every month to give all of us the El Paso
Scene. Also thank you for the Get Well
bottle of tequila.
Albert Martinez
* * *
Editors note: Albert is mostly recov-
ered, except for a stiff shoulder and a
scooter damaged beyond repair. In over
12 years working with the Scene, this
was the first time he had to take off work
due to illness or injury.
Filling in for Albert renewed my knowl-
edge of the East Side, Horizon City and
Lower Valley. Its hard to believe how
much has changed since we first began
publishing the Scene in 1993. George
Dieter was pretty much the edge of town
back then. Now the new East Side
sprawls past Loop 375 and Zaragoza.
* * *
This months cover is another of the
Cover Award winners from last
Novembers El Paso Scenes exhibit.
Don Beenes Promise of Rain is partic-
ularly appropriate for this time of year,
when El Paso is thirsty for thunderstorms
to relieve our drought.

I
nterviewing a young mother who had
run to safety with her toddler son just
seconds before a tornado demolished
their Oklahoma home, CNN Anchor
Wolf Blitzer asked the woman "You've
gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you
thank the Lord for that split-second deci-
sion?
I'm actually an atheist, the woman
sputtered in reply, leaving Blitzer him-
self fumbling for a follow-up question.
That awkward exchange led to consid-
erable commentary on various blogs,
with many posts congratulating the
woman for her non-religious convic-
tions.
It also triggered renewed debate over
various long-discussed theological
issues. Does God really decide who
lives and dies in a natural disaster? Or
for that matter, does He decide who sur-
vives and who doesnt from any life-
threatening situation, whether disease,
accident or other calamity?
If someone thanks God for a seemingly
miraculous rescue or recovery, does that
imply that God chose not to save others?
If God is not able or willing to save
everyone, how do believers reconcile
that with the traditional belief in an all-
powerful, all-merciful God?
I have to admit that I often wince when
I hear people thank God for answering
their prayers as if they had been reward-
ed for their faith. How many others
prayed just as faithfully and did not
receive what they hoped for?
It can also be disturbing to hear some-
one thank God for protecting them from
harm and granting prosperity when oth-
ers around them have lost family mem-
bers and suffered financial ruin.
We have to be careful not to cross the
line from gratitude to thoughtless pride.
We should be mindful that whatever
blessings we receive may have little to
do with our own merit.
The deeper question that is raised after
a major disaster like the tornados that
swept through Texas and Oklahoma
(which, however tragic, pale in compari-
son to the havoc and suffering caused by
earthquakes and tsunamis in other parts
of the world) is why does God let this
happen?
After centuries of theologians and
philosophers arguing over this point,
theres not much I could say in this brief
column that would advance the discus-
sion.
But there is one question that always
nags at me when I hear someone ask
how a loving God can tolerate suffering.
What world could God have created
that would prevent it?
Scientists tell us that life on earth is
based on a narrow range of conditions.
Change a few degrees of temperature
and the composition of the atmosphere,
and life as we know it doesnt stand a
chance. Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados
and hurricanes are all tied to the same
global environment that gives us life. A
world without potential threat to human
life might not a world at all, at least not
one that could support us.
A similar case could be made regarding
human evil. Could God have created us
without the potential for evil? Would
that be a life worth living?
To blame God for allowing suffering
may be the same as blaming Him for
creating life at all.
Of course, we can also blame God for
not intervening countless times every
day around the world to prevent the con-
sequences of disaster and cruelty. If we
think about, thats really asking that
Gods creation be nothing more than a
cosmic marionette show in which He is
constantly pulling the strings.
I believe miracles do happen, but I
dont believe God intervenes in our
world simply to patch things up.
Miracles are not a way of fixing whats
wrong with the world, but reminding us
that there is more than just this world.

A
trip back in time is just a short drive
away for El Pasoans looking for Wild
West adventures, thanks to area his-
toric sites, museums and other attractions
featuring the era of 19th century sheriffs
and outlaws, cowboys, ranchers, Native
American tribes and soldiers.
Even a staycation here in the Sun City
offers plenty of Old West places to visit,
from the El Paso Museum of History to the
Mission Trail. Kids can immerse them-
selves in old time activities at summer
camps with western themes. Family day
trips or weekend outings to Southern New
Mexico or West Texas add a variety of
ghost towns, historic museums, old mili-
tary forts and more to the menu.
Saddle up for a Wild West road trip
One of these closest sites focusing exclu-
sively on the cowboy life is the New
Mexico Farm and Ranch Museum in Las
Cruces.
Museum Communications Manager Craig
Massey said the Wild West is always
very popular and the museum offers expe-
riences that help bring this to life.
The ranching-type activities are the most
popular among our visitors, Massey said.
The most popular part of the museum is
our livestock. We have horses, burros,
goats, sheep, milk cows and six different
breeds of beef cattle.
Families can see these animals via an
eight-seat cart manned by museum guides.
Pony rides for kids are very popular and
offered at 10:30 a.m. and noon Saturdays
for a nominal fee.
Special events celebrating the farm and
ranch world include the annual Cowboy
Days in March with western demonstra-
tions, re-enactments, musical entertainment
and western art and writers and rodeo
demonstrations.
In our enormous Horse and Cattle Barn,
we also have an exhibit on display about
saddle making, he said. Its called Slim
Green: Master Saddle Maker.
Southern New Mexicos Old West destina-
tions include many towns that still keep
much of their Old West heritage intact.
One of the quickest Southern New
Mexico Old West visits is historic Old
Mesilla, which bills itself as the best
known and most visited historical commu-
nity in Southern New Mexico, dating back
to 1848. In addition to being the site of the
pre-Lincoln County War trial of Billy the
Kid, the community is also known for its
involvement in the Gadsden Purchase,
Civil War and Butterfield Trail, as well as
being a social center in the thick of the
cowboy era. Many of the storefronts in the
Old Mesilla Plaza, from the historic La
Posta and Double Eagle restaurants to the
Billy the Kid Gift Shop, still maintain the
look of the plaza from the late 1800s.
Guests can visit the J. Paul Taylor Visitor
Center inside the Town Hall to learn more.
Lincoln, N.M., about 30 miles outside of
Ruidoso, is the site of one of the Wild
Wests most notorious battles, the Lincoln
County Wars of 1878 and the wars most
notable participant, Billy the Kid. The
towns history is celebrated the first week-
end in August with Old Lincoln Days,
including cavalry and gunfight reenactors,
a Mountain Man Camp, vendors, an old
west parade and the Last Escape of Billy
the Kid folk pageant. Lincoln is also the
destination of the Billy the Kid Trail Ride
in late May that covers the same route
Billy the Kid used to move between
Lincoln and Fort Sumner after his infa-
mous escape from the Lincoln County Jail.
The Hubbard Museum of the American
West in Ruidoso Downs is a Smithsonian-
affiliated museum celebrating western art
and culture and the cowboy lifestyle, with
fine art and western artifacts exhibits,
interactive areas for youth, regularly
scheduled historic film viewing and
Chautauqua presentations.
The museum also sponsors its biggest
event, the Lincoln County Cowboy
Symposium, each October at the Ruidoso
Downs Race Track, where cowboy poets,
musicians, craftsmen and chuckwagon
cooks meet for concerts, rodeos, story-
telling, demonstrations, swing dances and
the Worlds Richest Chuckwagon Cook-
off.
Other area museums highlighting the
areas western, ranching or farming her-
itage are the Sacramento Mountains
Historical Museum in Cloudcroft, the
Geronimo Springs Museum in Truth or
Consequences, the Deming Luna
Mimbres Museum and the Silver City
Museum.
In addition to New Mexicos destinations,
West Texas road trips to the Big Bend
region of Alpine, Marfa and Fort Davis
keep the Old West alive with historic forts,
sites and guest ranches. Each community
has a historic hotel still hosting guests.
These include Fort Daviss historic Hotel
Limpia, Marfas El Paisano Hotel (which
housed many cast and crew from the
Western classic Giant) and Alpines
main drag stop, the Holland Hotel.
Marathons historic Gage Hotel also offers
a posh cowboy getaway.
Other West Texas attractions include Sul
Ross State Universitys Museum of the
Big Bend with a Conquistador to
Cowboy exhibit on the settlement of the
Big Bend in Alpine and Fort Daviss
Overland Museum and Fort Davis
National Historic Site, considered by
True West Magazine to be the Best
Preserved Fort in the West. Many of the
areas cowboy-centric events are featured
in the fall (including Alpines Big Bend
Ranch Rodeo), although Fort Davis annu-
al Mountain Man Rendezvous is now a
spring event in which guests get a taste of

Sul Ross also comes to life with cowboy
poets, performers and artists during the
annual Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering
in February. A smaller cowboy poetry
event, the Bootheel Cowboy Poetry
Fiesta, takes place in February in
Lordsburg, N.M. benefiting the Lordsburg-
Hidalgo County Museum.
A trip further south to Big Bend State
Park includes several cowboy surprises
including historic sites in Terlingua and
Study Butte (home of the World Champion
Chili Cook-offs in the fall), historic Fort
Leaton in Presidio, the ghost town ruins of
Shafter, Big Bend Ranch State Park and
the resort of Lajitas, once known as the
only town with a beer-drinking goat the
late Clay Henry III as mayor.
The Wild West at the doorstep
El Paso residents dont always have to
journey outside city limits, or at least not
too far out, to experience the Old West,
with hometown historic sites from the El
Paso Museum of History to the Mission
Trail.
The History Museum brings the Wild
West back to Downtown El Paso each
summer, said its Senior Education Curator
Sue Taylor.
We do a National Day of The Cowboy
celebration every year, which ties into a
nationwide event that is always the fourth
Saturday in July, she said. Thats going
to be really big event with charros, per-
formers an Old West Medicine Show
and singing groups.
Taylor said the museum is working on
securing additional cowboy trappings, such
as a chuckwagon, mounted representatives
from the Border Patrol and an Old West
Fashion Show, among other events.
The museum also hosts special events at
times when the flow of out-of-town guests
increases. For example, Taylor said, was
the successful Elvis, El Paso and the Real
Old West event held during Sun Bowl
weekend, in which both area residents and
visitors in town for the game could get a
taste of the many aspects of the areas past
from gunfighters to rock legends.
Another place to experience 19th century
El Paso life is at the Magoffin Home
State Historic Site. The adobe home, built
around 1875 by Joseph Magoffin, includes
authentic art and furnishings reflecting the
daily lives of the Magoffin family.
El Pasos Franklin Mountains State
Park, besides offering desert wilderness
and solitude, also includes sites that appeal
to Wild West tourism. Park Ranger
Adrianna Weickhardt noted that the parks
hikes and tours of West Cottonwood Mines
have become increasingly popular.
We have started offering them every
month, and due to their popularity have
been offering multiple mine tour opportu-
nities on the selected day, she said, noting
first mine tours of the summer are planned
on June 15.
Weickhardt said the West Cottonwood
mines or prospect mines were actively
explored during the late 1800s and early
1900s when tin mines were being devel-
oped and functioning on the east side of
the Franklin Mountains.
The prospect mines on the west side of
the mountain range, though, never turned
up in great amounts the sought after miner-
als that were hoped for, she said. Due to
the little disturbances occurring within the
mine now, crystals have had ideal condi-
tions to grow and form which are a high-
light for visitors. Bright blues, greens, yel-
lows are a rainbow of colors along the
walls in portions of the mine never fail to
impress and drum up curiosity in our visi-
tors. One is traveling back in time in the
mines and has an opportunity to step into
the shoes of those miners, connecting with
a part of history in our region, understand-
ing the determination and persistence of
these early miners.
She said learning about the geology of
the region is part of the allure of El Paso,
along with its cowboy culture. The park
also plans to host campouts, astronomy
programs, outdoor cooking and other relat-
ed events this summer.
The Franklin Mountains are also home to
McKelligon Canyon and its amphitheater,
home each summer of Viva! El Paso,
which celebrates the areas Wild West her-
itage along with its Spanish, Mexican and
Native American roots.
In El Pasos Mission Valley both cowboy
and Native American culture can be expe-
rienced in addition to its popular historic
missions in Ysleta and Socorro and the San
Elizario presidio chapel.
The Mission Valleys stops include the
Tigua Indian Cultural Center with
Pueblo dance presentations every weekend
and horno bread making, the Mission Trail
Visitors Center and the Licon Dairy with
homemade asadero cheese and an exten-
sive exotics petting zoo.
Of the three stops along the Mission
Trail, some of the wildest history can be
found in San Elizario. San Elizario
Historic District spokesman Al Borrego
said the areas history is like no other in
the area.
San Elizarios history is second to no
other place in our region spanning over
400 years, he said. From the First
Thanksgiving in 1598, to the birth of the
Presidio De San Elizario, the Civil War,
the Apache Peace Camp, the First County
Seat (when El Paso county also included
what is now Val Verde, Terrell, Jeff Davis,
Pecos, Culberson, Hudspeth and what is
now El Paso County), Billy the Kid, The
Salt War and to the birth of the American
Southwest.
He said the Historic District produces
several events such as the ongoing San
Elizario Historic District Sculpture Series
featuring works depicting the areas history
by local sculptor Guadalupe Jacquez
Calderon, who runs the studio Gallery 10
on Main Street.
There are three (sculptures) on display,
Borrego said. Billy The Kid, The Ox
and Oate: El Encuentro. The fourth will
be announced in June.
Each June San Elizario celebrates its own
link to Billy the Kid with the annual Billy
the Kid Festival.
The two-day event features Pistolero
shows, wagon rides, western games such
as a horseshoe throw, Billy the Kid look-a-
like contest, and the play Midnight
Rendezvous: Billy the Kid and the
Mystery of 1876, Borrego said, adding
that this event compliments the communi-
tys most popular visitor site, the jail.
Even those unable to attend the festival
can get a taste of Billy the Kids legacy via
monthly tours and jailbreaks.
San Elizario Historic District Tours are
free every fourth Sunday of the Month at
noon and 3 p.m. The tours cover all the
sites as well as the salt war and Billy the
Kid, Borrego explained. The Pistoleros
De San Elizario perform two Billy the
Kid Breakout shows at 1 and 3 p.m. every
third Sunday during the art market,
Borrego said.
Both El Paso and Las Cruces feature
museums dedicated to the significance of
the railroad in shaping the region. The
Railroad and Transportation Museum of
El Paso highlights more than 150 years of
the railroad in El Paso, with its main
attraction being El Pasos Old No. 1
engine built in 1857.
In Las Cruces, the New Mexico
Transportation Museum hosts year-round
talks, early American family game days
and the annual Railroad Days in the spring
celebrating the first train coming to Las
Cruces 133 years ago.
The Old West has also become a signifi-
cant part of the El Pasos first living labo-
ratory museum for children, El Paso
Exploreum (formerly Lynx Exhibit). The
Exploreums new interactive environments
include the Old El Paso Village, an
immersive play environment that gives
families an authentic taste of life from
over 100 years ago according to
Exploreum co-owner and marketing direc-
tor Laurie Paternoster.
In the General Store, visitors will find
an authentic range of goods traditionally
found in the Old West mercantile, she
said. Children can pretend to shop for
items ranging from buttons and material to
tin ware and boxed products with replica
labels researched from the era. At the
Bank, our visitors learn the Morse Code,
make pretend calls from a vintage phone
and learn to weigh gold.
The area also features a one-room school-
house with school furniture, items and
books found in an Old West era classroom.
She said a favorite with guests, however,
pertains to the classic cowboy mode of
transportation.
The most popular feature has been our
self-propelled, ride-on ponies our visitors
experience at the Livery stable,
Paternoster said. Theres a photo opportu-
nity on a real saddle and an opportunity to
dress up in Western wear too.

Reliving the past
Living history demonstrations and reen-
actments can give families a face-to-face
experience with the past, as groups like El
Paso Six Guns and Shady Ladies,
Pistoleros and other re-enactors make
appearances, stage historic Old West gun-
fights and share some facts about the past
with current generations.
El Paso most active reenactment troupe,
Six Guns and Shady Ladies was founded
as El Pasos Wild West Show in 1998 by
Bernie and Melissa Sargent. The traveling
troupe can be seen at everything from city-
wide street festivals to private parties. The
group is also featured in several historic
segments in Capstone Productions El Paso
Gold DVD series.
According to the Sargents, the troupe
will perform historic and melodramatic
Wild West Gunfight reenactments,
vignettes of Victorian life, atmosphere
enhancement and speaking engagements.
This summer, the troupe, along with San
Elizarios Desperados, recreate the Billy
the Kid-assisted escape of his friend
Segura from Old El Paso County Jail dur-
ing San Elizarios monthly Arts market, in
addition to making appearances at
National Day of the Cowboy with other
local re-enactment groups at the Labor
Day Festival in Cloudcroft, N.M. They are
also planning a bank holdup June 27 for
the grand opening of the United Bank of
El Paso del Nortes downtown location.
In 2010, True West Magazine named Six
Guns and Shady Ladies the Best
Reenactment Troupe of the Old West.
Many historic forts in the area schedule
living history events throughout the year,
highlighting soldier life during the Wild
West and Civil War era, along with tours,
history lectures and other events.
Fort Blisss Old Fort Bliss replica
includes original adobe fort buildings and
military artifacts from its Magoffinsville
Post days of 1854 to 1868.
Historic forts also hosting regular tours
include Fort Bayard near Silver City and
Fort Stanton near Ruidoso. Fort Stantons
annual Fort Stanton Live! celebration is
held in July with reenactments of Civil
War and Buffalo Soldiers, Mountain men
and a candlelight tour. Fort Selden State
Monument, 13 miles north of Las Cruces,
offers frequent living history events,
including an annual Frontier Day in
September.
Pancho Villa State Park in Columbus,
N.M. takes a look at a different side of the
areas turn-of-the-century military history
as the site of infamous Francisco Pancho
Villas raid of Columbus in 1916.
Reenactments and binational Cabalgata
rides mark the anniversary of this raid
every March 9 at Camp Furlong Days.
Even though reenactments can bring the
Old West to life, being able to actually
meet some of the Wests historic lawmen
and outlaws can make history seem even
more real, and El Pasos own Boot Hill,
Concordia Cemetery in Central El Paso,
allows visits with more than 60,000 eter-
nal residents from the areas history
including both Confederate and Union sol-
diers, Texas Rangers, Buffalo Soldiers,
Mexican Revolutionaries, Chinese immi-
grants and politicians, pioneers and more.
The sites most famous residents, however
are gunfighter John Wesley Hardin, who
met his demise in 1895 in the hands of
lawmen John Selman, also buried at
Concordia.
The Concordia Heritage Associations
John Wesley Hardin Secret Society
marks this fatal shooting every Aug. 19 at
the cemetery with a reenactment of the
event by Six Guns and Shady Ladies, a
gravesite toast and ceremony and even a
ghost tour. The association also hosts its
annual Walk Through History tour every
October where guests can interact with the
ghosts of Hardin, Selman and many
other residents.
Extreme Wild West fans hoping to meet
some actual ghosts of the past can take any
number of summer tours hosted by Paso
Del Norte Paranormal Society and
Haunted History. The organization con-
ducts monthly tours of Concordia, as well
as other ghost-heavy sites like San Elizario
and Downtown, as well as occasional tours
to Cohen Stadium, Cloudcrofts The Lodge
resort (home to the well-known friendly
ghost Rebecca), and other sites. These
events are usually suitable for ages 13 and
older, although some Midnight Tours are
exclusively for ages18 and older.
Ghost Towns and old mining communi-
ties scattered around the region are any-
thing but dead, and many host regular
town tours or have become budding art
communities. Two of the most active are
New Mexicos White Oaks in Sierra
County and Pinos Altos. Seven miles
north of Silver City, Pinos Altos is a min-
ing town founded in 1860 that includes a
thriving opera house, historic church that
houses a season gallery by Grant County
Art Guild and hosts a fall fiesta with gold-
panning, reenactments and various chil-
drens activities.
White Oaks, a former gold mining boom-
town and another old stomping ground of
Billy the Kid which has evolved in to an
arts and history destination, has been
hailed by various tourism and western
magazines as one of nations top True
Old West Town, with several historic
buildings and gravesites from the Old
Schoolhouse to the popular No Scum
Allowed Saloon.
Several other historic ghost towns are
found within a short distance from White

announce that Carol Johnson
will retire from teaching
Iyengar yoga and close the
studio as of June 1.
It has been a privilege to
teach yoga for twenty-four
years to the people of El
Paso, Juarez and Las Cruces
and it is hoped that all the
students from Yoga For Life
will continue to practice yoga
at home as well as take
classes at area studios in
order to maintain the yoga
community created by
their study of Iyengar yoga.
Thank you for all your support.
Namaste,

Contd from Page 35
Mescalero, N.M. Fourth of July weekend.
Most county fair events in both West
Texas and Southern New Mexico feature
rodeo performances throughout the late
summer and fall months including the
Socorro County Fair, Southern New
Mexico State Fair, Otero County Fair,
Lincoln County Fair, Sierra County Fair
and Grant County Fair.
Native American pow wows also wel-
come families, with the most recent sum-
mer addition, Southwest Desert Pow
Wow hosted by the Southwest Apache
Nation taking place the first weekend in
June at Gadsden High School. These
events often involve ceremonial entries,
dances, drumming, food and tribal crafts.
Fans of the classic Gran Charreada can
catch the Mexican-style rodeo on selected
weekends from area charro groups like
Canutillos El Lienzo Charro Los Castros
off Doniphan. These events often features
trick riding, food and live entertainment
with the rodeo performance.
There are also guest ranch experiences
offered all summer long, most notably the
Flying J Ranch in Alto, N.M. with chuck-
wagon dinners, gold panning, pony rides,
pistol shooting and live dinner shows fea-
turing the ranchs own Flying J Wranglers
throughout the summer. Visitor-friendly
ranches also include Copper Creek Ranch
near Silver City, and El Pasos own Bowen
Ranch near the citys far Northeast.
One of the better-known local dude
ranches is Indian Cliffs Ranch in
Fabens. The ranch is best known for its
Cattlemans Steakhouse, but has also built
a reputation for its use as a movie location.
Features include an antique wagon loca-
tion, western town with working stable
area, zoo, playground and walking trails.
Some state or national parks and muse-
ums host periodic tours of historic ranch
sites, such as Sierra County Historical
Societys Armendaris Ranch Tours of a
300,000-acre Spanish land grant ranch
departing from Geronimo Springs Museum
in Truth or Consequences, N.M. Oliver
Lee State Park between El Paso and
Alamogordo also host periodic guided
tours to its historic ranch house throughout
the year, but visitors can also learn about it
daily at the parks visitor center.
Setting up camp
If enjoying the Old West from a tourist
standpoint isnt enough, young cowboy
aficionados can take part in any number of
camps, classes and workshops over the
summer geared towards showing beginner
buckaroos the ropes of historic and con-
temporary western life.
Taylor said the El Paso Museum of
History will bring back two of its most
popular summer camps, Cowboy Camp
for ages 7-9 and Night in A Real
Museum camp for aged 9-12. Cowboy
Camp in particular lets younger campers
immerse themselves in the Western life for
a week.
They make hobby horses and learn to
rope, brand and about parts of the saddle,
Taylor said. They can lean all about the
cowboy essentials.
Massey said one of the Farm and Ranch
Museums best western camps this sum-
mer is the Ropin and Wranglin camp
June 26-27.
Kids ages 9 to 14 can learn about the
areas ranching traditions, Massey said.
They take roping lessons, learn about
horses and cattle, and create their own
brand.
El Paso Exploreum joins the western
summer camp list this year with its new
Cowtown Western Camp, set for June
24-28, July 15-19 and Aug. 5-9.
The Magoffin Home State Historic Site
offers Wednesday morning youth programs
in June and July featuring different aspects
of 19th century life in El Paso.
Carlos Rodriguez of the City of El Paso
Parks and Recreations Trailblazers
Outdoor Recreation program works year
round with area youth through Trailblazers
programs including free summer camps for
ages 8-17 offered in June and July
Tuesdays and Thursdays at Keystone
Heritage Park and Botanical Gardens or
Mondays and Wednesdays at Chamizal
National Memorial. The Adventures and
Outdoor Skills section of the camp teach-
es youth about orienting themselves in the
wild as well as building forts and shelters.
Individual horse farms and guest ranches
host riding events and summer camps such
as San Francisco Horse Stables near
Transmountain Road. The stable will be
the site of the summer long Ultimate
Cowboy Summer Camp hosted by Paws
and Hooves Mobile Veterinary Services
with roping, horseback riding, archery
music and other activities for ages 6 to 16.
The Winston, N.M. Black Range
Horsemanship Camp has been offering
week-long camps for 20 years in the
Cuchillo Mountains each July.
Another way to discover the Old West is
through the thrill of the hunt with the
Border Museum Associations 5th annual
Museum Scavenger Hunt. The hunt runs
through late July, and involves 20 muse-
ums in the El Paso and Las Cruces area.
Scavenger Hunt spokesperson Marshall
Carter-Tripp stressed not every museum on
the list pertains to or includes a Wild
West element, as that is just part of the
history and culture that make up the border
including art, military history and desert
ecology. As for the hunt itself, Carter-
Tripp said families love the prize aspect of
the event, but also love the hunt itself.
People are really surprised how many
historic sites and museums there are in El
Paso, as well as how many of these muse-
ums are free of charge. That is not often
the case in other large cities, Carter-Tripp
said. It is quite eye-opening.
Cowboy events closing the summer
include the annual Starr County Fair bene-
fiting area 4H groups at Starr Western
Wear in El Paso and the community of
Carrizozo, N.M. annual Cowboy Day
Street Fair, both in early September.

f you have doubts about the power of
dreams and what two people can
achieve through hard work and a com-
mitment to their vision, then take time to
listen to the remarkable story of Creative
Kids and the OLO Gallery.
When Stephen and Andrea Gates Ingle
first conceived of a non-profit organization
that would focus on serving children with
digital media and fine art, few would have
believed such a concept would evolve into
a multifaceted organization now celebrat-
ing 12 years of empowering the youth of
our community.
The couples own educational back-
ground made them ideally suited to their
work. Stephen studied architectural and
graphic design at Woodbury University in
California, finishing his degree at UTEP
by adding art education to the package.
Also a UTEP graduate, Andrea majored in
special education with a minor in art.
In the summer of 1988, Stephen had
planned to complete his degree by teaching
an art course for youths. When that was
cancelled, Andrea suggested they present
the course on their own and Creative
Kids was born. Today that seed has flow-
ered into an operation that touches the
lives of over 600 youths a year.
Andrea and Stephen have accomplished
so much so quickly by structuring their
offerings into a series of projects.
In Project MAP (Making the Arts
Possible), Creative Kids collaborates with
the El Paso Mental Health Mental
Retardation to provide arts programming
to young people with mental retardation,
Down syndrome, bipolar disorder, autism
and serious emotional disturbances.
Project AIM (Arts in Motion) is an art
and digital media program for pediatric
oncology patients at Providence Childrens
Hospital. Patients are engaged in a visual
arts curriculum ranging from painting on
canvas, printmaking and water media to
graphic design classes on computers,
learning to navigate Adobe Photoshop and
Illustrator.
Project ABLE (Art Brokers Learning
Experiences) is a program for at risk
youth in public housing. Projects include
painting on canvas, silk screening, print
making, sculpture and ceramics. Creative
Kids goal is for each young person to
enjoy the positive and creative aspects of
self-expression through successfully creat-
ing artwork in a safe environment.
The OLO Gallery also opens its doors
each weekend for Project SAC (Saturday
Art Classes) for older children up to age
18 and Little Picassos (kids 4 7) to reach
other youth not included in these other
programs. Classes range from computer
design and programming to cooking.
Stephen and Andrea always have a spe-
cial reason to celebrate Christmas Eve
each year. It was on that date in 2005 that
Creative Kids took a major step forward
by purchasing an old warehouse building
at 504 San Francisco in the Union Plaza
district. In July 2006 they received a
Community Development Block Grant
from the City of El Paso to assist with
remodeling the property into a light-filled,
cheerful home for the non-profit.
Making the public aware of their talented
kids has always been a top priority for
Creative Kids. In the early years, chil-
drens artwork decorated the walls of local
restaurants and businesses. Creative Kids
recently has expanded this effort by estab-
lishing partnerships with Southwest
Airlines and Sun Metro. Passengers wait-
ing for flights can now pass the time by
strolling through the Southwest terminal
and viewing the amazing paintings.
Earlier this year, Creative Kids signed a
contract to have artwork displayed in bus
terminals around the city. Stephen happily
reports, Sun Metro has been very pleased
with the results saying it has already
served to cut down on vandalism.
Creative Kids is one of 50 finalists, cho-

San Elizario Arts District
Each year hope grows brighter that San
Elizario will truly begin to fulfill its prom-
ise to become an art destination. Rachael
Escamilla, wife of impressionist painter
Alberto Escamilla, is very enthusiastic
about the growth in the area since their
gallery on the Plaza opened a little more
than three years ago. She reports, I think
the number of visitors has about tripled,
and tourists are beginning to visit on a
year-round basis. Also, we see many locals
returning bringing friends and family
along.
Out-of-town visitors, especially those
from foreign countries are so excited to
find the artist in residence and being able
to watch him paint.
Escamillas Placita Madrid location also
houses Magdalenas, a jewelry store which
features handmade sterling silver jewelry.
Other locations include the Mercantile
Building and Golden Eagle Gallery, in
which nearly 40 artists hang their work on
a rotating basis.
Nationally known Mestizo artist Amado
Pena also has gallery space where he sells
original art and prints, and visits in person
on special occasions throughout the year.
Maria Branch shows her paintings in the
La Casita Gallery, and sculptor Guadalupe
Jacquez Calderon works out of Gallery 10.
The galleries, museums and the Old
County Jail have finally established regular
hours: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday
through Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday; and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. The
First Friday Art Walk showcases artists
work and features live entertainment from
6 to 9 p.m. on the first Friday of each
month. The Mission Trail Art Market is
open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the third Sunday
of each month through November.
Public art is also beginning to find its
place among the attractions. Members of
the San Elizario Historic District have
commissioned a series of 12 simulated
bronze sculptures celebrating the history of
the area. Artist Guadalupe Jacquez
Calderon has already produced three
pieces in the series. Billy the Kid is near
the Old County Jail and a large Ox, sym-
bolic of the animal that powered the Old
Grist Mill, is near the mill.
Commemorating the arrival of Don Juan
Oate to the area in April 1598 is El
Encuentro, a sculpture of Oate and a
Manso Indian, which was unveiled April
21 in the sculpture garden at the new Pea
Gallery in the Historic District on Alarcon
Road. Buffalo Soldier, fourth in the
series, will be unveiled later this year.
San Elizario promoter Al Borrego empha-
sizes that San Eli is just on the cusp of
being discovered. With three museums
and all the art galleries you can now spend
an entire day here. Things are finally
beginning to come together. It takes time,
but one day soon this will be one of the
most exciting destinations in the region.
UTEP Centennial Museum
If living on the border makes you curious
about how our boundary lines were created
and border issues are managed, check out
the Maps, Minutes and Monuments
exhibit that continues through July 20 at
UTEPs Centennial Museum.
This highly informative exhibition chron-
icles the history of the International
Boundary and Water Commission, which
was created by the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo in 1848. With headquarters in El
Paso, Texas, and Jurez, Mexico, the
IBWC has been charged not only with
overseeing the boundary lines between the
United States and Mexico, but also the
allocation of water, desalinization and
wastewater treatment between the border-
ing states of each country.
The history of the IBWC and the El
Paso/Juarez region are as intertwined as a
strand of DNA, said exhibit curator
Michael Tarabulski, United States IBWC
Librarian. Through this exhibit, the citi-
zens of our region should gain a sense of
the part the IBWC has played in creating
the El Paso and Juarez we know today, and
the work that these regionally located
agencies do that affects the economy and
environment along our shared border.
In addition to historical documents, maps
and photographs, the exhibit will also fea-
ture a number of engineering artifacts,
including brass survey equipment, used by
the IBWC over the past century.

friend. Group tours are available. For San

The Salt War of 1877 was a turning
point in El Paso history. Anglo newcom-
ers to the area tried to wrest political
control of the salt fields near the
Guadalupe Mountains from long-estab-
lished Mexican residents centered in San
Elizario. The feud erupted in bloodshed,
climaxing in the capture of about 20
Texas Rangers and several executions.
What most people may not realize
about the Salt War is that it was also the
climax in a series of often bloody battles
between Anglo and Mexican interests
across Texas known as the Cart Wars.
The disputes began in southeast Texas,
where Spanish/Mexican settlers had
competed for nearly a century with
Anglo pioneers, including many Irish
immigrants, who would become known
as the Tejanos. Well after Texas success-
fully fought for independence then
became a state, bad feelings between
Tejanos and Mexican Texans lingered.
By the middle 1850s both factions had
built up a good business hauling mer-
chandise from Indianola on the gulf
coast to San Antonio and towns in
between. Using oxcarts the Mexicans
could move freight more rapidly and
cheaply. This infuriated some Anglos,
who destroyed the Mexican carts, killing
a number of carters and taking their
freight. Fighting started in 1855 and
escalated through 1857 to the point some
feared that a campaign of death
against the Mexicans would get out of
hand.
By this time the area the carts traveled
through had been divided into six differ-
ent counties and most of the trouble was
in Bee County, halfway between
Indianola and San Antonio. Opinion in
some of the counties ran against the
carters, who were regarded as an intol-
erable nuisance (despite being the origi-
nal settlers of the region).
Some newspapers spoke out against the
violence. Other newspapers worried that
if the fighting went on against the weak
race it might become more of a war
between the rich and poor. The Nueces
Valley Weekly stated its concern for
the Mexican, by claiming as fact their
being low in the scale of intelligence.
News of the violence around San
Antonio soon reached Washington and
steps were put into play to stop it. A spe-
cial militia was formed, which angered
some who still wanted the peon
Mexican teamsters put out of business.
But with the arrival of armed escorts, the
war eventually subsided by the end of
1857.
The fighting and bitter feelings
between Anglos and Mexicans did not
stop around the San Antonio area.
For decades Mexicans had been haul-
ing salt from the foot of the Guadalupe
Mountains, 90 miles east of El Paso,
Texas and always had considered it
Gods gift for all the people, free for the
gathering. But with the advent of Anglo
businessmen who wanted to tie up the
salt flats for their own profit came one of
the bloodiest chapters in El Paso history.
The Anglo/El Paso interests were head-
ed by Charles Howard, while the San
Elizario factions were headed by Louis
Cardis and Father Antonio Borrajos.
In 1877, Howard sought the arrest of
two San Elizario residents who tried to
collect salt. That led to an uprising
against Howard, who was captured by a
mob and held for three days in San
Elizario. After agreeing to give up his
claim to the salt beds, Howard was
released and moved to Mesilla. He soon
returned to El Paso and was gunned
down Cardis.
Howard was charged with murder but
continued to press the fight, going down
to San Elizario with an escort of Texas
Rangers in December 1877 to file
charges against those who were collect-
ing salt without paying a fee. A mob
gained the upper hand, forcing the
Rangers to surrender after a five-day
siege. Howard and two others were exe-
cuted, while the Rangers were disarmed
and released.
Army troops and angry American citi-
zens counterattacked a few days later,
killing and wounding San Elizario resi-
dents and forcing many others to flee to
Mexico.
In the aftermath, San Elizario lost most
of its political power. El Paso became
the county seat and a railroad center,
bolstered by a reinforced Fort Bliss.

rowing up without a father. Many
children in this country do just that
and for the same reason El Paso
native Ashley Lucas did. Her father was,
and still is, in prison.
Children respond to that absence in many
ways. Some become belligerent. Some
often have chips on their shoulders and
lack self-esteem. But for Lucas, the need to
fill that gap took an artistic turn.
She wrote a play about it.
Doin Time: Through the Visiting
Glass is a series of monologues showing
people who have been affected by a family
member being in prison.
In many ways this play is a very selfish
endeavor, Lucas said. When I began this
project, I desperately needed to write, but
more than that I needed to find people who
understood my experiences as a prisoners
child. People who have a parent or parents
in prison are much more likely to one day
become incarcerated themselves than peo-
ple whose parents have not gone to
prison.
In her research and interviews, she found
comfort in the stories of the people in her
shoes. She also found out that, in many
ways, she was lucky.
She has a supportive mother who encour-
aged her daughters creative genius. Lucas
has been performing since she was an
eighth grader at St. Clements School, play-
ing the role of Annas son, Louis, in The
King and I. After graduating from Bowie
High School in 1997, she went to Yale
where she majored in Theatre Studies and
English (with an emphasis on acting and
playwriting), graduating with distinction in
both majors in 2001. Then she went to UC
San Diego where she earned a doctorate in
Ethnic Studies and Theatre and Drama in
2006. She now is at University of
Michigan as Associate Professor of Theatre
& Drama and the Director of the Prison
Creative Arts Project (PCAP), a program
that takes undergraduates into prisons,
juvenile detention centers, and urban high
schools to facilitate arts workshops.
From graduate school onwards, Ive
been specifically focused on theatre for
social change, working primarily in
Latina/o theatre and in theatre happening
in prisons or around prison issues, Lucas
said.
Doin Time, written in 2004, has been
performed as a solo piece dozens of times
across the country and in Canada, from
prisons to universities. She will be in El
Paso June 27 at Hanks High School to
speak about and perform a few bits of her
play as a fundraiser.
What Im doing at Hanks High School is
NOT a performance of the play, Lucas
said. Its a talk about prisoners families
with monologues woven into it, and the
event is a benefit for Community Solutions
of El Paso, an organization that provides
services to prisoners children. So few
advocacy organizations provide practical
help and services to prisoners families,
and though I dont live in El Paso anymore
and cant help out with their daily work on
a regular basis, this is one way that I can
help them continue to help kids who are
growing up with the pain of a family mem-
bers incarceration.
She knows that pain all too well.
Being in graduate school, I felt very
much alone in many respects, and when
my father was denied parole for the third
time, I needed more than ever to speak to
someone who understood what I was going
through, Lucas said.
She started reaching out, looking for peo-
ple who had family in prison. In 2004 she
placed an ad in the newsletter for the
Coalition for Prisoners Rights, a publica-
tion to which prisoners all over the country
can subscribe for free. By mid-January she
had received 100 responses from prisoners.
She now has received letters from more
than 350 prisoners in 35 states and contin-
ued to receive new responses until she
moved to Michigan.
The men and women who wrote to me
are extraordinarily brave for trusting a per-
son they will most likely never meet and
contributing to a play they will almost
surely never see performed, Lucas said. I
was only able to use a fraction of what
they sent me in this show. I hope to write
another play or a book some day that can
more fully use their words.
Lucas said she took extraordinary cre-
ative license in editing together narratives
from the interviews, the letters and her life.
Some of her characters are taken in their
entirety from letters and interviews. Others
are purely creations; some are a mixture of
the two.
Ultimately they all reside in my body
and voice in this production, and my deep-
est wish is that my performance will honor
all those who shared their lives with me in
one form or another, especially my father,
my mother, and my sister who each deal
with this great drama/trauma of our lives
with elegance and dignity.
She said the whole process of putting the
stories together greatly affected her own
life.
For ten years, I had felt that my family
was isolated and silenced because people
simply do not discuss prisoners, much less
their families, Lucas said. The subject is
both taboo and dangerous, yet I found
many people who were as desperate as I
was to share the ways in which prisons
have shaped their lives. I am so grateful to
these people because we were able to
speak to one another as I have never been
able to speak to the many people in my life
who do not know what it is to live some of
the most precious moments of their lives in
the visiting room of a prison.
Once written, putting the show together
was filled with the challenges of perform-
ing with little money while teaching at uni-
versity. Director Maria Figueroa and dra-
maturge David Kim helped her research,
write and rehearse the first version of the
show. For many years, she toured the show
with just herself and a stage manager.
Its been lonely and exhausting at times,
and I always see the play as a huge respon-
sibility because people tend to see me as
speaking on behalf of prisoners families,
though I would never purport to represent
such a large and diverse group of people.
Then in 2009, the loneliness dissipated
when she began collaborating with Joseph
Megel, who directed the current version of
the show.
Hes an amazing director, and he knows
my heart, Lucas said. I implicitly trust
all of his impulses in the rehearsal room,
and hes made the show demonstrably bet-
ter than it was before.
Megel went with her when she per-
formed at Illinois State University in
Bloomington and at Lincoln Correctional
Facility for Women.
The women at Lincoln have a theatre
troupe of their own called Acting Out, and
they read my play about six months before
my arrival, wrote their own monologues
about families and visiting, and rehearsed
them with their troupes director Sherrin
Fitzer, who is a staff person at the prison.
Joseph and I spent a day and a half in the
prison rehearsing with the women and inte-
grating their monologues into my play. We
then performed a new version of the play
together with all of their monologues and
mine for an audience of about two hundred
incarcerated women. It was by far the most
moving and amazing performance of my
life.
A camera crew filmed the performance,
and Lucas and Megel now are working
with a documentary filmmaker who is
interested in producing a film about the
play.
But nothing surpasses the life-long con-
nections shes made because of this work.
All the prisoners, returning citizens, and
their families whom Ive met because of
this play have made me feel so much less
alone in my experiences of my fathers
incarceration, she said. These people
have bolstered my soul, and some of them
have become close friends.
Carol Viescas is a veteran of
community theater and teaches
journalism at Bel Air High School.
Ashley Lucas will give a public lecture and
performance on Families and
Incarceration at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 27,
at Hanks High School Theater. Tickets:
$12 ($7 ages 12 and younger).

Local: Warped Tour Celebrates Lucky
No. 13 in Las Cruces
You really shouldnt base concert-going deci-
sions by price, but when you use up all your
fingers and toes twice over counting all of
the bands you are going to see and you still
have change from your fifty, then it certainly
comes into consideration. This year marks a
bakers dozen for the annual event and
almost as many times for our sister city of
Las Cruces to host it. Eco-friendly initiatives
are still in place for the traveling carnival,
complete with bio-diesel fuel for touring
vehicles and solar-powered sound systems.
They will also be shooting for the extra gold
star in social consciousness by encouraging
fans to skip the line with their Feed Our
Children Now and Cell Phones Recycling
programs. Organizers have also brought back
Bandhappy, a way for the masses to get
that one-on-one interaction with their
favorite musicians on the tour. Then there is
the music itself for 2013: An Electronic
Dance Music stage has been added for that
burgeoning market and the Acoustic
Basement will be expanded. The largest
genres will always be Emo and Punk, but
there are all the colors of the rainbow from
Ska to Metal to Hip Hop, to good ol rock n
roll. June 26 is the date to enjoy the sun and
the sounds of the summer season.
Halloween comes early as UTEP cele-
brates two eras of Wicked.
On June 8 we get to witness first-hand if the
student becomes the teacher and, even better,
if the old master has some new tricks up his
sleeve. Whoever came up with this bill cer-
tainly had the macabre on his mind. No mat-
ter whos your favorite, its irrefutable that
Alice Cooper has earned the title of shock
rocker and that the closest challenger in the
last decade was Marilyn Manson so what
could be better than getting them both on one
night(mare)? They are both still releasing
new material with Alice conjuring up his
sequel to his 1975 masterpiece, Welcome to
My Nightmare, in late 2011 and Mr.
Manson unleashing his ninth studio album,
Born Villain, just a year ago. They are sure
to pull out the hits, as well as introducing us
to some of their latest tales. This is being
billed as Masters of Madness: Shock
Therapy Tour 2013. So it might just be one
of those times where you can come for the
music or the show either way you are
going to be entertained down to your core.
National: Blind Melon, Blind Melon
20th Anniversary Edition, Capitol
It has been 20 years since the tragically mis-
labeled one-hit wonder Blind Melon
unveiled its amazing debut, an album that
easily fits into my personal Top 20 greatest
albums. Thats even more upsetting because
after lead vocalist Shannon Hoons death a
series of underrated, fantastic discs followed.
The first attempt was Unified Theory,
which consisted of two original Melons.
Then Abandon Jalopy upped the ante with
three founding members. Lastly, in 2008 they
came close to full circle with all the guys in
place and the addition of vocalist Travis
Warren. This is what perhaps lit the fire for
this celebratory release. Besides adorning a
slightly different cover and having been soni-
cally upgraded with remastering, the true
treasure here is the inclusion of five bonus
tracks. These are affectionately known as
The Sippin Time Sessions. The release
features three original versions of songs that
made the grade to the final disc, but here
they have a richer organic feel, and with each
and every utterance the depths of Shannons
soul is revealed. Also added is Soul One,
which made its way to the posthumous
Nico LP. Lastly is Mother, a tune that
has never made it onto any physical format.
If all you know is No Rain, then be pre-
pared to be washed away by the intensity, the
emotion, the passion and the sheer brilliance
that was Blind Melon.
Midnight Oil, Essential Oils,
Columbia/Legacy
Australia may not rank as a major music
exporter by most, but the land down under
has given us some well-known acts, from
AC/DC to INXS to Crowded House, and
many more. One of the best that actually had
a much larger songbook than many would
imagine is Midnight Oil. The band was front-
ed by environmentalist Peter Garrett, who
came into most of our lives as he gyrated and
wiggled around in their 1988 Beds are
Burning video. They were no overnight suc-
cess story: That was the bands sixth album
and it spawned several hits. Another disc fol-
lowed with minor success and after that
America shamefully lost interest. Making
matters worse was the band only got better
with the release of Breathe and Redneck
Wonderland, and then their label lost inter-
est as well. They packed it in nearly a decade
ago, but Legacy Records has given us all a
reprieve. Essential Oils celebrates all parts
of their special slippery substance. The dou-
ble-disc set combs over their entire cata-
logue, all 12 albums and two elusive EPs: 36
tracks of rich, thick, solid goodness. The hits
are certainly there and are bright spots
indeed, but it is the in-between moments that
make this collection truly incredible.
Essential Oils are not just for skin and
hair: Crank it up and bathe in some seriously
splendid sounds.
Guster, Live Acoustic, Ocho Mule
It seems to be happening more and more in
this modern age: if you are not on your
favorite bands email list or checking their
webpage daily, you might just miss an
incredible opportunity. The band dangling
the golden carrot this time is Guster. This
group appeared on the radar in the mid 90s
as an acoustic trio from Boston with dual
vocalists, an extraordinarily quirky leader
and whimsical lyrics. Then there is the
immediately recognizable drummer who
refused to use sticks and has opted for a bare
hands approach on his full-fledged drum kit.
Perhaps that can be most appreciated in a
visual live setting, but the next best thing is
Live Acoustic. Their newest limited disc is
only obtainable via their website. The collec-
tion truly showcases their sound, combining
rich harmonies, pop layering and the percus-
sive thread that punches it all up. They have
also added a string section for the show,
which adds a lush sheen to several songs.
The set list runs 16 tracks long and takes us
on a journey back to a cut off their sopho-
more effort. This was originally pressed in a
ridiculously low quantity of 2,000, but the
band has changed the color of the cover and
unleashed a few more for those who missed
the first round. There is no telling if they will
go for a third, so pick yours up today.
