Blackwater Draw Ceremony for New Signs Set for Friday, November 9 – There will be a recognition ceremony for new signs and a shelter at the Blackwater Draw Site at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9. With an $80,000 grant from New Mexico State Parks, new signs have been erected detailing the history of the site, as well as a new shelter. State archaeologist Christy Tafoya and State Parks director David Simon will make presentations.

The site is located seven miles from Portales on Highway 467 going toward Cannon Air Force Base.

The importance of Blackwater Draw was first recognized in 1929 by Ridgely Whiteman of Clovis, N.M. The Blackwater Locality No. 1 Site (located within Blackwater Draw near Portales) is one of the most well known and significant sites in North American archaeology. Early investigations at Blackwater Draw recovered evidence of a human occupation in association with Late Pleistocene fauna, including Columbian mammoth, camel, horse, bison, sabertooth cat and dire wolf.

Since its discovery, the Blackwater Locality No. 1 Site has been a focal point for scientific investigations by academic institutions and organizations from across the nation. The Carnegie Institute, Smithsonian Institution, Academy of Natural Sciences, National Science Foundation, United States National Museum, National Geographic Society and more than a dozen major universities either have funded or participated in research at Blackwater Draw.

Due to its tremendous long-term potential for additional research and to public interest, the site was incorporated into the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. More recently, it was declared a National Historic Landmark.

Everyone is invited to the ceremony. Refreshments will be served.

Ginger's Safety Tip of the Month

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL FIRE SAFETY MONTH

Common Fire Hazards and Their Control

Heating Equipment - Improperly installed, operated or maintained furnaces and other heating equipment can lead to a fire.
* Equipment should be installed and serviced annually by a licensed technician.
* Combustible material should never be kept in furnace rooms.
* Temporary heating units should not generally be used in public buildings.

Electrical - Misused, damaged, improperly maintained or overloaded electrical equipment is a common cause of fire.
* Extension cords should only be used for temporary power to equipment that is being used by someone "now."
* Cords should never be left coiled up while plugged in. Inductive heating can be caused resulting in insulation damage.
* Circuit breakers should be turned off and on every six months to ensure they are functioning properly.

Mechanical Friction - Equipment that is not properly maintained or cleaned can lead to fires.
* Bearings on ventilation equipment and conveyors should be kept properly aligned and lubricated.
* Loaders and forklifts should be kept cleaned and free of combustible material.

Proximity Hazards - Hazards outside of buildings can expose them to the risk of fire.
* Fuel tanks near buildings should be installed to current codes and protected from vehicle collisions by a barricade.
* Dumpsters should be at least 30 feet from buildings.
* Weeds/brush/grass should be kept mowed back at least 30 feet from building.

Despite all the precautions, fires do happen so be prepared. Remember the Fire Defense Triad: 1. Detection/Notification - discovering the fire and alerting the fire department 2. Emergency Egress - well-marked safe ways to leave the building 3. Incipient Suppression - sprinkler systems, fire hoses and portable extinguishers.
