Page 4 • May 31, 2012 • Mountain Mail • mountainmailnews.com Magdalena hair stylist marks twentieth year By John Larson This month marks a milestone of sorts for Karolyn Rolsteon, owner and operator of Karolyn’s Hair Kare and Florist. 2012 marks her twentieth year of being in business in Magdalena. “I first opened my business in June, 2012,” Karolyn said. “I rented from Richard Torres and it was next to Evett’s. I was in that location for six years.” She said the decision to go into business for herself was an easy one. “I learned how to do flowers ever since junior high. I started making flower arrangements in the back of Ester Wickham’s business,” Karolyn said. “My mother, Pat Ligon, was a regular customer of hers and would hang out, visiting with Ester. I would be with her and get bored as tears, so I started watering plants, making bows, sweeping up, things like that to pass the time.” After graduating from Magdalena High School, Karolyn moved to Abilene, Texas, to go to beauty school. “I decided to come back home because Magdalena needed a beauty shop and flower shop,” she said. “I also brought the first tanning bed to Magdalena.” In the late nineties Karolyn had The Water and Ice Store June Special an opportunity to buy “the place next to where the Magdalena Café is now. I was there for six years.” Karolyn said she is appreciative of the loyalty of her clients who have supported her over the 20 years. “After I closed the Main Street location I joined Mabel Baca at Cut and Curl, and then had Petals and Perms at the corner of Sixth and Kelly,” she said. “My clients stayed with me and that meant a lot to me.” In 2004 Karolyn relocated her business to its present location at 102 First Street. “This is my best location yet,” she said. “I have my consignment store going on. People bring in stuff they’d like to get rid of. Plus the bling and of course the flowers.” She likes doing both flowers and hair, she said. “My expertise is color, specializing in coloring women’s hair and nice cuts. Also pedicures and nails. It’s a full service salon.” Karolyn welcomes men to come in for basic haircuts “and flowers to buy for their wives.” To keep up with the latest techniques, Karolyn continues her education. “I recently went to a Tammy Taylor nail class in Albuquerque,” she said. “It was a Buy 2 Get 1 FREE Wednesday’s 12PM - 2PM Bring in this ad!

She is also past president of the Magdalena Chamber of Commerce. “This is a true family owned and operated business. Without my family and close friends my business wouldn’t be a success,” she said. “My husband Doc is also very helpful to me. He likes to deliver flowers because he gets to see all the pretty ladies in town.” Karolyn’s Hair Kare and Florist is open most every day of the year. Hawaiian Shaved Ice The contrasting journeys of a Hop Canyon traveller By Jon Hertz Magdalena resident Jon Hertz will be presenting a slideshow and talk on his 2006 trip to Peru at the Magdalena Public Library on June 23. Hertz has spent his retirement from the BLM traveling to the four corners of the earth, and sharing his experiences in lectures and slideshows, sometimes with his son Jeffrey. “People assume it takes a lot of money, but outside of the cost of the plane fare, I end up spending less money than I would by staying at home,” Hertz said. “The secret is not to take the expensive tours and to stay at the more reasonably priced hotels.” “I like to experience the diversity of different cultures, and also the similarities,” he said. “Everyone has the same issues, needs, desires and family life. It’s funny that we categorize people, and don’t think of them as equal.” He said we need to be tolerant of peoples’ differing views and cultures. “The bottom line is we all have the same desires,” Hertz said. “I’ve learned this by living in their daily life. It’s a different atmosphere you experience when you do this.” In his last presentation he related and contrasted two of his journeys, first to Costa Rica, and then Open for lunch & dinner...

The contrast was radical: an idyllic vacation in Costa Rica contrasted with the harsh reality the citizens of Mali experienced in their day to day lives. “As I was appreciating the ocean and lush jungle paradise of Costa Rica, I couldn’t help but think of past travels where I was anything but comfortable and content.” “The trip to Senegal, Gambia, and Mali had proven to be far from comfortable, as the parts of West Africa I experienced were often bleak and discomforting,” he said. “I recalled the poverty and lack of employment that drove great numbers of young men to harass me, desperately seeking for me to hire them as guides while in their country.” Hertz said that one night in Dakar, Senegal’s capital, he found himself trapped in a car with five or six very aggressive young Senegalese men trying to serve as his entourage of guides. “Feeling pressured, I literally had to jump out of the moving vehicle as we neared a stop escaping from their less than well-meaning travel assistance,” he said. “It’s funny that years later I find myself thinking so much more about the time I spent in Africa than of those lovely beaches in Costa Rica,” �� • Member’s Meeting - 2nd Tuesday of each month. 6 pm, June 12 • Veterans Charities Casino Night - 7 pm, June 16 • Smoke Free Bingo - 7 pm, Monday and Wednesday � � � � • Service Officer available to assist veterans and their families with � � paperwork or to answer questions concerning � � VA hospital or their military service. � � � � � � � � • Van transportation to VA hospital Monday through Friday • Hall rental available Socorro DAV Chapter 24 Vidal Moya - Commander Club Hours 11am to 8pm 200 N. 5th Street - 835-0843 � � � � � � � ��
WHITEWATER: Crews working on firebreaks on west and north flanks continued from front page Fire Information Officer Nancy Guerrero told the Mountain Mail that crews are continuing to work on several sections of the fire to create buffers. “The crews of the Southwest Area Type 1 Incident Management Team are clearing vegetation from a previous burnout on north and west flank to create a larger firebreak around the fire’s edge,” Guerrero said. “They continue to provide structure protection in Mogollon, Willow Creek and other ranches and homes in the area.” She said 15 hotshot crews and 13 hand crews are currently working the fire. A total of 1,236 personnel from local, state and federal agencies are involved doing different jobs. “For the most part, the fire has been actively burning in all directions,” Guerrero said. “Near the northeast corner of the fire below the Middle Fork of the Gila River, there was significant movement to the east. There are several pockets of extreme fire behavior.” She said 58 engines, 24 water tenders, seven dozers and 12 helicopters are assigned to the fire. “The fire is moving in a direction away from the communities of Reserve, Luna and Glenwood,” Guerrero said. A smaller fire, the 40 acre Wagon Tongue Fire, 15 miles north of Reserve and near Aragon, has been controlled by personnel from the Reserve Ranger District.

JUNE IS : EMERGENCY SERVICES AVAILABLE sion_pages/fires/main/index.html People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy physical activity outdoors in smoky conditions. Other tips to keep in mind during this dry, windy period: Before a wildfire approaches your home, evacuate your pets and all family members who are not essential to preparing the home. Anyone with medical or physical limitations and the young and elderly should be evacuated immediately. Remember the “P’s of Evacuation”; People, Pets, Prescriptions, Papers, Pictures and Personal Computer.

Photo courtesy of USFS Gila National Forest Mideke offers suggestions for reducing the odds of losing a structure by wildland fire. Walk around your home, yard and neighborhood thinking like a fire. Where do you see fuels and fuel sources such as brush, weeds, dry grass, trees, scrap piles, woodpiles, gas cans, propane tanks? Where are the “ladders” and “paths” linking fuel concentrations? Think how the patterns of fire progression you visualize change when you bring wind of various strengths and from different directions into the picture. How can fire climb your walls, leap to your eaves or take hold of your roof? Consider scenarios for fire coming in with the prevailing wind and from fires igniting on adjoining properties. In Socorro County, volunteer firefighters have been busy responding to several wildland fires. County Fire Marshal Fred Hollis said the worst was a house fire. “The San Antonio Fire Department responded to a fire that burned a doublewide mobile home Saturday,” Hollis said. “It was fueled by high winds and everything was dry.” He said there have been no major wildland fires in the county, but that up to eight times crews were called out to control fires along roadways “usually caused by vehicle activity.”
