Area partnership works toward
building City CNG refueling stationBy Steve Block
Along Interstate 25 between
Colorado Springs and Santa Fe,
N.M., there are plenty of places
where drivers can stop to fill up
with gasoline or diesel fuel, but
no refueling stations offer Com-
pressed Natural Gas (CNG). With
an increasing number of vehicles
fueled entirely or partially by
CNG, a local partnership has come
together to try to install a CNG
refueling station in the Trinidad
area, and the group met on Tues-
day with representatives from the
CNG industry and General Motors
Corporation (GMC) to push the ef-
fort forward.
CNG can be much cheaper
than gas or diesel. It’s measured
in cubic-feet but is priced at CNG
stations at a per-gallon conver-
sion rate, called Gasoline Gallon
Equivalent or GGE, so customers
can more easily understand it.
Natural-gas vehicles emit 25
percent less CO2 than vehicles
that run on traditional gasoline
or diesel. There is broad scientific
consensus that our nation has
enough natural gas right here at
home to power much of America
for generations to come.
In fact, the Potential Gas Com-
mittee,whichassessesthenatural-
gas potential of the U.S., now re-
ports that the U.S. has more than
1,800 trillion cubic feet of available
gas. That’s a 35-percent leap from
its 2009 forecast and the highest
resource total ever reported in the
organization’s 44-year history.
Natural gas represents the only
clean-energy option of adequate
scale that exists today. By starting
now, the expanded use of natural
gas can make meaningful im-
provements to air quality during
the next 10 years, according to a
CNG-related website.
Pioneer Natural Resources is
already using CNG to fuel 273 vehi-
cles, representing 12 percent of its
nationwide fleet. Pioneer’s Trini-
dad location uses CNG to power
100 light trucks and 16 heavy
trucks, according to Aaron Wil-
liamson, facilities manager, who
addressed attendees at a Wednes-
day meeting about CNG in Trini-
dad State Junior College’s Pioneer
Room. Williamson said Pioneer
has a CNG refueling station at
its base west of Trinidad, but for
legal reasons it can’t sell CNG to
the public from that location. He
said Pioneer is assessing a proj-
ect to buy a CNG dedicated fleet
from a third-party manufacturer,
and a CNG portable fueling unit
is also being assessed. Pioneer is
also supporting the development
of new-tank and home-refueling
technology.
Williamson said some of Pio-
neer’s trucks were bi-fuel vehicles,
using either gasoline or diesel fuel
in addition to CNG, while some
used CNG alone.
It costs about $8,000 to convert
a typical automobile using gaso-
line only into a bi-fueled vehicle
that also uses CNG. Some car and
truck manufacturers make bi-fuel
or CNG-only vehicles. The truck-
ing industry has been a leader in
pushing for CNG semi-tractors,
and some major truck manufac-
turers have begun producing
them.
Susan Smithson, fleet and com-
mercial area sales manager for
GMC’s western region, traveled to
the Trinidad meeting in a new, bi-
fueled Chevy Silverado truck from
her office in Centennial. Smithson
said GMC is producing several
new bi-fueled vehicles, with a new,
bi-fueled Impala coming out in a
few months. She said the truck
performed very well when using
CNG on the trip and did not make
any additional noise while using
CNG.
“CNG has lower emissions,
and it’s also lower in price by any-
where from a dollar to $1.50 per
gallon,” Smithson said. “Those are
really the advantages. We have
trucks like this. We have the three-
quarter and one-ton trucks, with
the regular cab and the double cab.
We’re coming out with an Impala,
and we have vans and SUVs.”
Smithson said she hoped Trini-
dad would be able to get a CNG
refueling station, noting that such

TSJC student
art exhibition
honors award
winners
By Scott Mastro
Correspondent
Recently, the 2014 Trinidad
State Student Art Exhibition
was put on at Gallery Main. On
Wednesday, a selection of that
art, including the award-winning
works, opened as an exhibition at
the Freudenthal Library on the
campus of Trinidad State Junior
College.
Light refreshments were
served at the informal reception
that took place in the main floor
library foyer. Artist and art impre-
sario Rodney Wood had been the
judge of the Gallery Main show.
The first-, second- and third-place
works, in order, were done by part-
time Social Science major Laura
Gowen (a graphite pencil work en-
titled “Getting Ready”); Graphic
Design major Raven Paiz (a char-
coal work entitled “Beauty”); and
Art major Elli Hillhouse (a graph-
ite-and-charcoal piece entitled
“Listening is Gold Also”).
Theater major and Student Art
Club member Ian Alexandrow-
icz took the Merit Award, as well
as receiving an Honorable Men-
tion. Other Honorable Mention
recipients were Adult Continuing
Education students Deborah Ber-
nhardt, Cynthia Ploski and Linda
Nale and Art major Cedar-Rain
Yellow Mule, who has been ac-
cepted to the Academy of Art at the
University in San Francisco, one
of the nation’s leading art colleges.
Two campus employees were
browsing the artwork when one
said, “I like the charcoals,” and
the other said, “I’m impressed
with art because I can’t do it.”
Art professor Vilas Tonape
gave thanks where they were due
by saying, “Dean Ulibarri is the
person who really made this show
happen. It is through her efforts
that we can make art visible to
the community, in its museums
and around town. We also have
many fine patrons in the commu-
nity who support and buy artwork
shown here in Trinidad.”
About her piece entitled “Get-
ting Ready,” Gowen said, “It was
a homework assignment entitled
Self-Portrait. I tried several differ-
ent things. When I put the towel on
my head, I knew I had something.
The robe made it complete. Profes-
sor Tonape’s instruction is above
all others I’ve studied under. I’m
curious to see what I can learn
from him in the future.”
Paiz said, “My piece was for a
Distortion homework assignment.
The photo was in Pinterest. I did a
wavy grid over it, not lined up as
normal facial features. ‘Beauty’
is what transpired.” She added,
“During the original exhibition at
Gallery Main, I sold a piece enti-
tled ‘Nevar,’ my name backwards,
to a generous patron of the Trini-
dad arts.”
Hillhouse’s “Listening is
Golden Also” came about from
a still-life that Tonape set up. “It
was drawn from life. I drew what
I saw. It was an extra assignment
I did in February. I’ve learned so

stations usually work best when they’re lo-
cated at a traditional gas station.
“I certainly hope you do,” she said. “We
have a lot of people coming through, and
the closest CNG stations I know about are
in Santa Fe and Colorado Springs, so this
would be right at the halfway point. In Ri-
fle, they have one at a Shell station, and that
works very well, but in Grand Junction it’s
at a city-owned property, and I don’t think
people know where to go to get it. They’re
not looking for something that’s city
owned, even though it’s open to the public,
so I would think it’s best to have it at an ex-
isting station.”
Other vehicle manufacturers, such as
Ford, Toyota and Honda also make bi-fu-
eled vehicles.
Colorado has taken some initiatives to
provide incentives for increased CNG use.
In April 2012, the Colorado State Senate ap-
proved a bill aimed at making it easier to
set up refueling and recharging stations for
natural gas and electric vehicles. The new
law makes it easier for retail, fleet and com-
munity venues to provide spots for electric
and compressed-natural gas vehicles to fuel
up, according to a published report
“The Colorado Cleantech Industry Asso-
ciation (CCIA) believes this legislation will
serve the interests of the State of Colorado
by increasing the use of domestic energy
sources, and helping to provide Coloradans
with energy choices for their transporta-
tion needs,” said CCIA Executive Director
ChristineShapardwhenthebillwaspassed.
“Most importantly, it fosters economic de-
velopment by taking away unnecessary red
tape and uncertainty when a retail business
installs an electric-vehicle charging station
or natural-gas fueling pump.”
House Bill 1258 was designed to encour-
age market development of electric and nat-
ural-gas vehicles and the associated charg-
ing and fueling infrastructure in Colorado.
HB 1258, titled “Concerning Regulation of
PublicUtilitiesinTermsofAlternativeFuel
Vehicles,” allows electric vehicle charging
and fueling infrastructure in Colorado by
allowing electric vehicle charging stations,
natural gas (CNG/LNG) and propane to be
sold for alternative-fuel vehicles without
being regulated by the state Public Utility
Commission. The bill placed these alterna-
tive fuels on par with gasoline and diesel in
a competitive marketplace.
Senator Cheri Jahn, (D-Wheat Ridge),
and Representative Brian DelGrosso (R-
Loveland), sponsored the bill. The Gover-
nor’s Energy Office and Xcel Energy sup-
ported it.
“CCIA appreciates the bipartisan sup-
port from the Colorado General Assembly
to pass House Bill 1258 that sets the stage to
allow expansion of electric and natural gas
charging and fueling infrastructure in the
state,” said Shapard. “Bringing down regu-
latory barriers for business development in
the clean-tech space meets Governor Hick-
enlooper’s mission of making it easier to do
business in Colorado, and it puts the state
on the radar of the vehicle-manufacturing
industry, which is also important.”
The local group that’s pushing for a
CNG station is the Raton Basin Regional
Economic Development District (REDD),
which is composed of business, civic and
governmental leaders in Las Animas and
Huerfano Counties, and Colfax County in
New Mexico. Priscilla (Pete) Fraser, COG’s
executivedirector,isamemberoftheREDD
group and spoke at the meeting about the
state and county tax incentives available
for vehicle owners who convert their cars
or trucks into bi-fueled vehicles using CNG.
Fraser also stressed the importance of mov-
ing rapidly on the CNG refueling station
plan because of the limited timeframe in
which state funding would be available.
She said there is state funding available to
subsidize building CNG stations, but the
funding requires county matching funds,
and some rural counties don’t have the
money to put into matching funds.
“We know that the Interstate 25 corridor,
the Highway 160 corridor, the Highway 50
corridor and the Highway 350 East corridor
are very important to our region, so that we
have the continued operation for economic
development,” Fraser said. “We don’t want
to be the part of the map that didn’t do its
homework, and that we didn’t get this done
on time so we’re going to be bypassed. This
is why it’s so crucial.… If we can strategical-
ly place these stations in our corner of the
world and say, ‘rural Colorado is extremely
necessary,’ then regionally, our partner-
ships will give us a stronger voice.”
County Commissioner Mack Louden
said the drive to build CNG refueling sta-
tions was an ongoing process that would
take time and hard work. “Keep in your
minds that this is just a step,” Louden said.
“If we can get this infrastructure built, then
the people who are coming in, if we can
get them to stay in Southern Colorado for
an extra day and spend money, we’re way
ahead of the game on everything else. Just
keep thinking, ‘what else can we do with
this? How can we piggyback on this?’”
Representatives from Sparq Natural
Gas, an Oklahoma-based company, also at-
tended the meeting. The company has ex-
pressed interest in building a CNG refuel-
ing station in the Trinidad area.

much since then — about shadows, high-
lights, values of black and white and the
rendering of the materials — how textures
and materials interact. It’s as if it was done
by someone else.”
Tonape summed up by saying, “This
isn’t just a college student art show. Look
at this plaque.” It listed community busi-
nesses that had donated materials and
prizes to make the show the success that it
was. “The Trinidad Area Arts Council do-
nated their Gallery Main location for the
original show. Ida and Sherry’s Used Fur-
niture donated the artwork frames. Frank
Images gave all the matting for the art.
Golden Eagle Gallery Art Supplies sup-
plied the $50 gift certificate for third place.
Cedar Street Printing gave four copies of
my course book for second place, which
students must otherwise purchase. And
the Trinidad State Education Foundation
awarded $400 tuition to first place, so this
isn’t just a college art presentation. This is
a community event, and I deeply, deeply
thank them all.”
The Student Arts Award Show is pre-
sented in the Freudenthal Library on the
campus of TSJC and will run through
April 30, from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The show is free and is
open to the public. Freudenthal Library’s
number is 719-846-5593, and the website is

Colorado Legislature
DENVER (AP) — Your
weekly look at what’s com-
ing up at the Colorado Leg-
islature:
MARIJUANA EDIBLES
Marijuana edibles, and
whether they look too entic-
ing to children, are under
scrutiny from lawmakers
in the final weeks of the ses-
sion. Two bills pending in
the House address the issue
of marijuana edibles and
concentrates. One would
direct state regulators to
determine equivalency
standards that translate just
how much an ounce of the
marijuana flower produces
in its concentrated form.
Another bill would broaden
a ban on certain types of
edibles to include products
that mimic other foods or
candies. Both bills face
votes in House committees
this week.
TRAFFIC CAMERA BAN
Traffic cameras that
capture people who run red
lights or speed would be
banned in Colorado under
a bill that has the backing
of legislative leaders. The
bill from Republican Sen.
Scott Renfroe, who has pro-
posed it before, has gained
momentum this year with
the co-sponsorship of Dem-
ocratic Senate President
Morgan Carroll and Demo-
cratic House Speaker Mark
Ferrandino. Local govern-
ments opposing the bill ar-
gue it takes away an impor-
tant safety tool. The bill gets
its first committee hearing
in the Senate Monday.
PROPERTY TAX FOR-
GIVENESS
Residents whose proper-
ties were destroyed by wild-
fires and floods last year are
waiting to see if they’ll get
some relief on their taxes
from state lawmakers. The
bill would forgive the prop-
erty taxes of people who no
longer have their homes
because of the natural di-
sasters. It’s expected to cost
the state just over $2 mil-
lion. The bill has cleared the
House, and gets its first vote
in the Senate Thursday.
NO JAIL FOR FINES
Responding to concerns
raised from an American
Civil Liberties Union re-
port, lawmakers are consid-
ering a proposal that forbids
courts from jailing people
who don’t have the means
to pay a fine. Under the bill
being considered in the
Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee Wednesday, defendants
must be instructed that if
they’re unable to pay a fine,
they must contact the court
for a hearing to explain why
they can’t pay. Courts can
determine payment plans.
SHORT WEEK
Lawmakers may take
Good Friday off for a long
Easter holiday weekend.
But legislative leaders have
warned lawmakers they
may call off the holiday if
enough work doesn’t get
done.
TheGoodolddaysOld radio listeners had it
By Don Kingery
Special to The Chronicle-News
The modern generation can find dozens
of things it can do better than older gen-
erations did. But nobody could beat the old
crowd when it came to imagination.
In the days before electricity and elec-
tronics, boys and girls did a lot of imagining
about a lot of things. So did men and wom-
an, of all ages.
When electricity was extended to new
areas, the imagination that people had built
up was what made radio popular. Most ra-
dio programs in the so-called old days de-
pended upon the imagination of listeners
for their survival.
Today, movie and television images take
away the imagination of the viewer, who
provides nothing but his or her presence.
And radio has changed. The only thing the
listener can imagine now is how the people
look who call in on talk shows.
Radio wasn’t like that in the old days.
From start to finish, radio required the
imaginations of listeners.
The best sound-effects men of early radio
came from vaudeville orchestras, where
they had become masters at using bulb-
horns, drumbeats, cymbal-strikes, hand-
bell rings and various band-instrument
noises to deliver squawks, bangs, trombone
blasts and other sound effects when the
performers, from strip-teasers to burlesque
comics, needed them.
These men found it easy to jump from
vaudeville into jobs as radio sound-effects
men. In an unseen studio, sound-effects
men found the perfect audience of listeners
whose imaginations had been sharpened
since childhood by living in a small, natural
world, where everything beyond its bound-
aries had to be imagined.
While the sound-effects men thumped
sandwithcoconutshellstomakehoof-beats,
pounded their own chests and made gorilla
noises, slapped pillows with rulers to create
gunshots and stuck strips of cardboard into
electric fans to create airplanes in flight, lis-
teners created their own images.
There were no standard images for lis-
teners of early radio programs. Each lis-
tener created his or her own images when
a sound-effects man struck a large sheet
of metal with a hammer to make thunder,
swished his hands through a bowl of water
to make rainfall, tapped a board with his
knuckles to make footsteps and rapped on a
door to make a knock that was either sinis-
ter or innocent. Listeners created their own
images of the people, the landscape and how
the good or bad people looked, walked and
acted. Listeners created their own storms
and their own strangers walking through
them.
When radio magazines became popular,
it was a surprise when listeners saw pic-
tures of characters. The imaginary persons
they had constructed with their imagina-
tions were nothing like the real characters.
Radio stars realized that listeners had
created images of them that were far supe-
rior to their real selves, and many stayed
away from public appearances for that rea-
son. They knew the imaginary vision radio
listeners had of them was better than the
real thing.
