LEFT: Heavy traffic on Highway 380 coming to the opening on April 2 of the historic Trini- ty Bomb Test Site were greeted by crosses for local people who died and protestors from the rural towns surrounding the Trinity Test. Its radioactive clouds are believed to have been just as deadly as the radioactive clouds that impacted the Downwinders from atmo- spheric atomic tests in Nevada. Generations of rural families are asking for compensation for their losses. Congress so far has failed to act on several bills introduced by New Mexi- can Senators.

LOWER LEFT: Leading to the annual one-day opening for the public to view the historic Trinity Atomic Bomb Test site, several vendors sell trinitite for souvenirs. The unique greenish fused stone was created by the thousands of degrees of heat unleashed by the first atomic bomb test and has been collected all around the site and is still radioactive.

A newly developed method for cloning pecan rootstock may result in more successful yields for growers in the future. Randall, a research associate professor in the New Mexico State University Department of Entomology, Plant Patholo- gy and Weed Science, is thrilled with this breakthrough, as pecan can be challenging. “Pecan can be difficult to work with, and before I started, I was told that pecan cloning was impossible,” Randall said. “I’m excited, especially with the potential that it can mean to the industry and for research.” Pecan trees, grown in commercial orchards, have two main parts that are grafted together. The top part of the tree produces nuts and is genetically the same as other treetops in an orchard. The bottom part is called the rootstock, and each rootstock is genetically different. The research process, which began in late 2012, in- volves cloning rootstocks to NMSU COURTESY PHOTOS make them genetically the NMSU Research Associate Professor Jennifer Randall and her team have cloned nearly 300 different genotypes of pecan. same.

By Zak Hansen For the Las Cruces Bulletin

Nearly 100 pieces of Hopi artwork culled from the permanent collection of New Mexico State University is the subject of a new exhibit, “Itaa Katsi: Our Life,” now on longterm display at the NMSU Museum. According to exhibit curator Michelle Lanteri, a master’s degree candidate in NM- SU’s art history program, “Itaa Katsi” demonstrates “the continuum and diversity of Hopi artworks, in exam- ples mainly from the mid- to late-20th century to the present.” Though their baskets and katsina dolls (katsin tihu) may be best known, the breadth and depth of work on display in “Itaa Katsi” shows just how varied Hopi artwork can be in its contemporary forms — and the surprising similarities pieces share. Hopi art forms on display include gourd rattles, silverwork, wicker and coiled Kopatsoki (Headdress) with Katsin Mana (Katsina Maiden) and Corn. plaques (flat basket forms), Hopi, circa 1980.
