By Dana Beasley For the Las Cruces Bulletin

In its spot on a patch of lawn behind New Mexico State University’s Branson Library, a threatening cycle of ice, heat and calcium-rich sprinkler water has gradually worn away “The Joy of Learning” sculpture. “The bronze sculpture has become very corroded over the years,” said Silvia Marinas-Feliner, director of the Museum Conservation Program in NMSU’s Col- lege of Arts and Sciences. “Corrosion due to water and salt makes the surface very porous. If we don’t do anything about it, eventually the corrosion is going to start creating holes and then the metal will start to disappear.” The sculpture, created in 1988 by Grant Kinzer, former chair of the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology and Weed Science, depicts a cowboy reading to a child. Prior to fall 2015, the large statue had not received any conservation work since its installation. To preserve the work of art, Marinas-Feliner tasked students in her advanced museum conservation techniques class during the fall 2015 semester with restor- ing the sculpture. This assignment, however, wasn’t NMSU PHOTO BY SILVIA MARINAS-FELINER something that could be completed in one afternoon – During the fall 2015 semester, students in New Mexico State University’s advanced museum conservation techniques or even one semester. class restored “The Joy of Learning” sculpture behind Branson Library. “The treatment process must be applied over a period of time,” said Marinas-Feliner. “It’s impossible to dents to large-scale outdoor metal restoration tech- collections.

Based on a novel by Colm Toibin, “Brooklyn” shares the story of a young woman torn between life and love in her native Ireland and her new home in New York, a lush and smart film for adults. John Crowley is the director and Nick Hornby (author of “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy”) the screenwriter. Crowley’s résumé is a bit thin, but includes “Is Anybody There,” an interesting look at aging that starred Michael Caine and played at the Fountain a few years ago. Hornby has had a bit more success, including the screenplay for “Wild,” a terrific true story picture of a year or so ago. The film takes place in the 1950s, and it is perfectly rendered as so, although one wonders why directors who show “in the past” always allow all of the cars in their movies to look like they just drove off the showroom floor. That as an aside, the film captures the era quite well, from wardrobe to mores. Saorise Ronan stars as Eilis Lacey, who lives with her mother and older sister Rose (Fiona Glascott) in Ireland. For reasons that aren’t too clear, passage to America and to Brooklyn, a home and a job has been arranged for Eilis by the church. For a while, I was sure that there was some sort of skullduggery afoot, which would account for the church to ship Eilis, a strong, smart, and attractive lass, thousands of miles away. Eilis, a very innocent woman, though not cloying- ly so, is excited about this new opportunity, but very sad about leaving her family. She listens well, which Saorise Ronan and Emory Cohen star in director John Crowley’s lush coming-to-America drama “Brooklyn,” now playing at comes in handy at the boardinghouse she is staying the Fountain Theatre in Mesilla. at, a place filled with other ambitious young women and run by the very opinionated and exacting land- Eilis will be working in a department store, a job she returns, allowing him to know that she will re- lady, Mrs. Kehoe (Julie Walters). she is very fearful of at first, but slowly works her- turn if they are married.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Las Cruces District, in partnership with Friends of the Organ Moun- tains-Desert Peaks (Friends), is one of 186 Federal sites selected to receive a 2015 field trip grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks. The grant was awarded to the BLM and the Friends to support efforts in educating and creating the next generation of public land ambassadors. The grant, part of the Foundation’s Open OutDoors for Kids program, supports the White House youth initiative Every Kid in a Park. Excited with the District’s grant selection, BLM Las Cruces District Manager Bill Childress said, “The grant will support the BLM Ambassador Program, which consists of three educational segments targeting about 800 fourth- graders in the Las Cruces, Deming, and Gadsden (In- dependent) Public Schools.” “It is inspiring to see the National Park Foundation and many other partners step up to support our goal of getting fourth-graders and their families into parks, public lands and waters PHOTOS PROVIDED that belong to all Americans,” said U.S. Tracks left by animals older than dinosaurs, right, can be seen at the Prehistoric Trackways Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
