W
ith the demolition of City Hall,
Insights and the Asarco smoke-
stacks, many of El Pasos best
paintings and photographs of the citys
skyline may seem outdated now.
Yet when Hal Marcus sent me an image
of Margaret Tumeys El Paso, which is
on this months cover, it reminded me
that the true skyline of El Paso is not
defined by our buildings but by the
mountains that surround us.
Tumey painted this scene back in 2005,
said Marcus, who owns the work as part
of his private collection. Over the previ-
ous ten years, Tumey had taken various
photographs from the Scenic Drive/Rim
Road area overlooking Downtown and
the Jurez Mountains before deciding on
the exact composition, lighting and per-
spective she wanted for this painting.
Buildings may come and go, but our
mountains, wide-open skies and breath-
taking sunsets guarantee that El Paso will
never lose its most scenic features.
* * *
With City Hall and Insights now a mem-
ory, El Pasoans are looking to the future,
the new Triple-A baseball stadium to rise
up on those buildings former home. That
prompted us to take a look at baseball
past, present and future in El Paso. Its a
grand history, as Lisa Tate explores in
this months feature story on Page 29.
* * *
More chapters in El Paso history will be
unfolded in the new Taking a Look
Back column that begins this month.
John McVey Middagh has history in his
blood his father also wrote on El Paso
history. His first column is on George
Herold, a Texas Ranger who became a
sheriffs deputy in El Paso, and in both
roles played a part in famous shootouts.
* * *
El Paso Scenes news deadline is always
the third Monday of the month, so some-
times it falls as early as the 15th, as it did
in April for this issue. The earlier the
deadline, the more likely we are to get
items too late for publication. And with
more people paying more attention to
social media to get the word out on
upcoming events, it seems that print
deadlines are more easily forgotten.
For example, on the eve of going to
press, we got a notice about Bike Month
in El Paso. We didnt have any space at
the last moment to fit it in, so Ill make a
little room here in this column.
Events include Bike to School Day May
6, Bike to Work Week May 13-17, a bike
clinic and Tour de Fun May 18 and the
monthly Critical Mass ride on the last
Friday of the month (May 31). Details are
still being worked out for most of these
events, but you can find out more at
elpasobikemonth.com or look for El Paso
Bike Month on Facebook.
* * *
Theres no excuse for missing the dead-
line next month its May 20 for the
June issue, which will include our annual
big section on Summer Fun for Kids.
Theres a preview of some of the camps
and classes in this issue on Pages 15-16.
* * *
One person who had a good excuse for
missing some deadlines for this issue was
our advertising director, Albert Martinez.
He ended up in the hospital with five bro-
ken ribs the Sunday before publication,
thanks to a truck that ran a red light and
crashed into him as he was riding his
motor scooter. Albert will be fine but the
scooter is scrap metal.
Even from his hospital bed, Albert was
on the job. He called me just a few hours
before our paper was scheduled to go on
the press to ask if we could squeeze in
one more ad!

We may spend anywhere from 12 to 20 years going through one form
of school or another, and typically our graduation from one phase to
the next is marked by a cap & gown ceremony or some other rite of
passage. But the rest of life seems like a non-stop continuing educa-
tion class that we never get to graduate from! Career, relationships,
family ... they can be tougher than any test and we keep facing
many of the same problems over and over again!
We never really graduate from most of the issues in our life
but we can educate ourselves to deal with them better. Counseling
is your opportunity to accelerate that learning.

I
n Pauls letter to the Galations, he
attacks the Judaizers, a group of
Jewish Christians who insisted that
Gentile believers must also follow the
Jewish law. In particular, they wanted all
the men to become circumcised.
Fortunately for guys who didnt have
that procedure done at birth, this is not
an issue in the modern church! But it
raises questions about those who tell
other Christians that their faith is not
enough. Do any of these people qualify
as modern-day Judaizers?
People who believe Christians cannot
drink or go to R-rated movies?
People who dont think you can be a
true Christian unless you hold certain
political beliefs? That you must rally for
anti-abortion laws, support the death
penalty and oppose gay marriage? Or on
the other side, you must be a pacifist
and anti-capitalist?
People who insist that Christians must
read the Bible daily, go to church every
Sunday and tithe?
People who only acknowledge a partic-
ular interpretation of the Bible?
People who demand that Christians
dress a certain way? That they have to
eat at Chick-fil-A and shop at Hobby
Lobby?
Some of us may have been exposed to
these or other kinds of modern-day
Judaizers. In some cases it is obvious,
such as in certain fundamentalist church-
es. In other cases it is more subtle. We
get the point that our faith isnt quite
good enough from a raised eyebrow or
snide comments.
The other question is why? What
drives people to force their brand of
Christianity on others? Why isnt the
gospel good enough?
One reason that explains a lot of this
behavior might be simple tribalism.
Most people want to be part of a group
that defines them and makes them feel
like they belong. But the gospel by itself
doesnt provide any external markers to
give us that tribal identity we crave. So
we add something to the gospel to create
our kind of Christian, our own tribe
within Christianity. That way you can
choose to hang around non-drinking
homophobic conservatives or wine-sip-
ping social gospel liberals and believe
that your group has an edge on everyone
else. Even if you dont say openly that
youre the only true believers you
send out hints that your tribe of
Christians is really better.
When I look at it that way, I realize
that I am just as tempted to be a mod-
ern-day Judaizer as anyone else. How
about you? Do you find yourself tempt-
ed to add a little extra to the gospel? Do
you find yourself trying to steer others
to be the right kind of Christian?

Baseballs biggest inning in El Pasos long history
of the sport begins with new team, new stadium
Story by Lisa Kay Tate
N
ow that El Paso can take its eye
off the wrecking ball, it can keep
its eye on what the demolition was
all about: Baseball.
The Downtown ballpark to be erected on
the former site of City Hall and Insights
Museum will be home to El Pasos new
Triple-A minor league team and the
newest chapter on baseball in the Sun City,
where Americas pastime has been part of
its history and culture for more than a cen-
tury.
Here are a few quick hits about El
Pasos teams, players and love of the
game:
New team Downtown
El Paso will soon be one of just 30 cities
with a Triple-A ball team, a move
approved by city council in September
2012, allowing MountainStar Sports Group
to purchase a Triple-A franchise.
San Diego Padres Triple A affiliate,
Tucson Padres, will move to El Paso after
they complete their final season at Kino
Stadium this year. Triple-A is the highest
level of minor league baseball, one step
below the major leagues a jumping-off
point for future starts as well as a landing
spot for major leaguers bumped down
from The Bigs.
MountainStar Sports Group President
Alan Ledford believes the park will host
its first games next spring, and is excited
about the progress.
The ownership group and the City of El
Paso are working closely together to meet
the goal of having El Pasos Triple-A team
playing in the new downtown ballpark on
opening day in April 2014, Ledford said.
Just one year from now, the fun and
affordable family entertainment of Triple-
A baseball will be available in the heart of
El Paso.
As far the name of the new team, Ledford
has said there will be a contest to all El
Pasoans to give their ideas and input on
the name. The team will be part of the
Pacific Coast League, home to teams with
monikers like the Albuquerque Isotopes,
Round Rock Express, Omaha Storm
Chasers and Ledfords former team, the
Sacramento River Cats.
Ledford and the group are so confident
about meeting this timeline that future sup-
porters already can reserve season tickets
via the teams website, elpasotriplea.com.
Ledford has said they have been over-
whelmed by positive response to the early
sales.
Fans can already join the Season Ticket
Waiting List by making a no-risk $50 per
ticket deposit at our website to be among
the first to select their season ticket prefer-
ences, he said.
Whats in a name?
El Pasos earliest baseball teams went
through a few name changes, according to
various accounts.
The earliest team, the El Paso Browns,
goes back to at least 1892, and was later
changed to the El Paso Mavericks in 1913.
That year they became Southwest
Champions of what was known as the
Copper League. They changed leagues a
couple of times in the next decade, and
began playing in the newly constructed
Dudley Field in 1924. When the team
joined the Arizona State League in 1930, it
changed its name to the El Paso Texans,
keeping that name until the team was
dropped from the league in 1957.
In 1961, the team was revived by the
Sports Development Committee of El Paso
Chamber of Commerce, and was renamed
the El Paso Sun Kings. The Sun Kings
joined a Double A Texas League a year
later, and was affiliated with the San
Francisco Giants, California Angels, and
Los Angeles Dodgers.
When Jim Paul purchased the team in
1974, they became the El Paso Diablos,
and were once again affiliated with the
California Angels. In 1981, the teams
major league affiliate became the
Milwaukee Brewers and in 1990 moved
from Dudley field to the new Cohen
Stadium. Their teams final major league
affiliation change was to the Arizona
Diamondbacks in 1999. This affiliation
ended in 2005, but the Diablos continue to
play until this day via independent owners
and leagues.
Regional baseball goes back even further,
however, and both Fort Bayard and Fort
Selden hosted early baseball (or Rounders)
games. Historic events at both forts some-
times offer an opportunity to see a game
played in the style of its early days.
Dudley to Downtown
El Paso has always had affection for its
ballparks, from central El Pasos Dudley
Fields free flow ventilation (as former
Voice of the Diablos Paul Strelzin called
it), to the updated facilities at Cohen
Stadium.
Dudley Field was named after El Paso
Mayor R.M. Dudley, and through the
years, crowds at the Dudley Dome, as it
became affectionately called, had the
opportunity to watch future major league
players both on their own team but also on
visiting teams, including New York
Yankees legend Mickey Mantle who
played with the Yankees in an exhibition
game in 1951 against the Texans. Years
later, a young left-handed pitcher from
Mexico, Fernando Valenzuela, played
against the Diablos as a member of San
Antonios Double-A team, before moving
on to legendary status with the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
One former Sun King, a second baseman
named Kurt Russell, was on his way to a
decent career in baseball before a shoulder
injury pushed him out of the game. He
decided to pursue another interest act-
ing.
When Cohen Stadium was built in 1990,
named after local baseball pioneers Syd
and Andy Cohen, the Diablos moved to the
Northeast side of town and Dudley Field
was used for other area professional and
semiprofessional teams such as El Paso
Patriots Soccer and El Paso Scorpions
Rugby until its demolition in 2005. The
site is now home to El Paso Zoos Africa
expansion.
El Paso Diablos President and Managing
Partner Matt LeMarche said the ball club
has made sure Cohen Stadium is not just a
ballpark, but also a multi-purpose event
stadium.
The organization has also brought
numerous outdoor concerts, festivals, pro-
fessional boxing, arena cross racing, mon-
ster trucks, the new home of the El Paso
Southwest International PRCA Rodeo, and
has been the host of numerous non-profit
events, he said.
Meanwhile, the new Downtown ballpark
will emerge on the site of the old City Hall
and Insights museum. Plans call for a seat-
ing capacity of 7,500 to 9,000, including a
grass berm, as well as luxury seats, club
seats, office and retail space and party
decks.
According to the new parks official site
description, the park will help El Pasos
plans to revitalize its downtown into a
vibrant locale where people will want to
live, work, shop and play.
(The) overall vision is to introduce a
ballpark that serves as a downtown land-
mark, the site reads. It will naturally pro-
mote opportunity for future growth of sur-
rounding mixed-use tenants, while creating
a sense of place for downtown El Paso.

The Jim Paul era
When Jim Paul took over the El Paso
Diablos in 1974, he not only made the
team a popular sports franchise, but a well-
attended family attraction.
Many people, including owners of
Major League teams, have tried to make it
a paying situation in El Paso since early in
the last century but only one succeeded for
any length of time, longtime El Paso
sportswriter Ray Sanchez said. But, it was
because of Pauls promotional genius, not
the popularity of the sport.
These promotions included souvenir
giveaways, food specials, special celebri-
ty appearances such as the Famous
Chicken for which El Paso became a
favorite spot, trivia contests and more.
This experience was enhanced by the pop-
ular announcing of Paul Strelzin, who rau-
cously led the fans in game rituals such as
using napkins to wave Bye-bye to
replaced pitchers from the visiting team.
Pauls efforts also gave the Diablos the
distinction of being the first Double-A
team to draw more than 300,000 fans. In
1993, the team and its new stadium were
featured on the cover of National
Geographic.
Sanchez is one of many who feel Pauls
knack for marketing and public outreach
made attending a minor league baseball
game into the ultimate family outing.
Paul said he hopes the Diablos legacy,
particularly its Double-A years, will live
on whether or not the team itself contin-
ues. I hope the Double-A El Paso Diablo
legacy will be remembered as the most
family fun sports event in the citys histo-
ry, he said.
Diablo baseball was unique and inno-
vative and was geared and focused toward
El Pasoans and their families, as all our
pricing from tickets to hot dogs to hats was
based on El Pasoans affordability, he
said. But, above all that Diablo fans
loved to bring their families out to have a
fun-filled experience.
Pauls audience-building tactics havent
gone unappreciated by the current Diablos
management. LaBranche explained there
are plenty of activities planned to appeal to
all ages, including those who might not
even be diehard sports fans such as
Fireworks Fridays or Bark in the Park
pet-friendly games.
There is watching good baseball, meet-
ing the players,the fireworks,receiving
prizes, eating ballpark favorites, swimming
in the pool, jumping in the bounce houses,
laughing at the on-field contests through-
out the game, catching t-shirts and softy
balls thrown into the crowd, LaBranche
said. Most important, making memories
with family on warm summer nights.
Paul said he does hope people recall that
no minor league city has ever received as
much national attention as El Paso did dur-
ing those years in the mid 1970s through
the 1980s.
El Paso baseball set the standards for all
minor league baseball when it came to pro-
motions and operations, he said.
Once and future Diablos
The El Paso Diablos will always be at the
forefront of baseball history in El Paso.
When you ask El Pasoans things they
think of when they hear El Paso, the
Diablos would be a common item,
LeMarche said.
He said the brand name of the Diablos
goes back decades, and adults who recall
going to Diablo baseball games when they
were kids now take their own kids. Despite
their changing status and league affilia-
tions they have continued to represent El
Paso in professional baseball.
The El Paso Diablos, as we currently
stand, have been the only professional
sports franchise in the city for multiple
years now, he explained. El Paso lost
their Double-A team in 2004, and profes-
sional baseball was saved by a group of
local investors concerned with the quality
of life in the city. The franchise was saved
again in 2011 by the Tigua Tribe as they
stepped up to the plate and invested in
the team during challenging economic
times to again restore the Diablos brand.
As far as the looking beyond 2013, he
said the future of the team is in question as
the city eyes the coming of the new Triple-
A team. This doesnt mean they arent
looking for ways to keep the Diablos a part
of El Pasos summer baseball options. Just
like in the past, the team will try to find a
way to continue.
There were no professional affiliated
baseball franchises for sale or willing to
move in 2004 (when the Double-A fran-
chise was sold to Springfield, Mo.), so the
ownership group looked to one of the top
Independent Professional baseball leagues
in the country, Le Marche said.
Basically, the next best thing.
The league, the American Association is a
Double-A caliber league, that consists of
ex-big leaguers, and Triple-A on down to
low A-level players.
The ownership group has invested mil-
lions of dollars to play in this league which
includes travel as far away as Winnipeg,
Canada, and has famous franchises such as
the St. Paul Saints, partially owned by
actor Bill Murray, he said.
The Cohen Brothers
No names are more associated with base-
ball in El Paso than Syd and Andy Cohen,
after whom Cohen Stadium was named.
The two brothers not only went on to play
nationally, but maintain a lifetime relation-
ship with the city that gave them their
start. Both played for the Mavericks in the
1920s. Andy Cohen later became second
baseman for the New York Giants and Syd
Cohen pitched for several American
League teams.
One of Syd Cohens claims to fame was
during his years with the Washington
Senators, he became the last pitcher to
strike out New York Yankee legend Babe
Ruth. His local legacy spans south of the
border, as he not only played in the
Mexican leagues (where he was known at
one point as
Pablo Garcia
due to the ball
club fearing criti-
cism for hiring
an American
player), but also
served as coach
for the Juarez
Indios in 1950, helping the team gain its
first title in the Arizona-Texas League.
Toward the end of his career, he played in
El Paso in the minors briefly, and contin-
ued to manage in Juarez.
Andy Cohen is also responsible for help-
ing build UTEPs baseball program, and
served as the teams unpaid coach for 12
years. He was inducted into UTEPs
Athletic Hall of Fame; both he and his
brother were inducted into the El Paso Pro
Baseball Hall of Fame and the El Paso
Athletic Hall of Fame.
The brothers died in their mid-80s within
just months of each other in 1988.
Pros and Hall of Famers
The El Paso Athletic Hall of Fame was
created in 1955, to honor and recognize El
Pasos outstanding individuals in the world
of sports. Since then at least 20 baseball
players have made the list.
El Paso Baseball has its own Hall of
Fame as well, and nearly 150 players,
coaches, managers and others have been
honored since its founding in 1988 for
their outstanding achievements in high
school, college and professional baseball.
Just a few of the notables on these lists,
in addition to Syd and Andy Cohen, are:
William C. Nemo Herrera (1949
Bowie Bears coach).
Player, coach and professional player
Tomas El Tomiski Arciniega, considered
by many the best catcher ever to come
out of El Paso.
Award-winning radio sports broadcaster
Thomas Joe Fan Ciaburri who pioneered
the first ever El Paso high school baseball
telecast in 2010.
Former Diablos manager Rick Parr

Leagues Reno Aces).
Local basketball legend Nolan
Richardson (who was give permission by
Coach Don Haskins to play on Texas
Westerns first-ever baseball team).
Chicago White Sox pitcher Joe
Henderson.
Former Diablos Manager Floyd Butch
Henry, player with Cincinnati Reds, and
Houston Astros, and standout high school
player.
El Paso Diablos owner and sports mar-
keting pioneer Jim Paul.
In addition to Hall of Fame inductees, El
Paso Diablos also have their share of
notable alumni, who later went on to play
in the major leagues including:
Outfielder Jesus Alou, brother of fellow
professional players Felipe and Matty
Alou, who played in the major leagues for
17 years and was inducted in the Hispanic
Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame
in 2008.
Current Minnesota Twins coach Tom
Brunansky, who played for Milwaukee
Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Minnesota
Twins and California Angels.
Pitcher Randy The Big Unit Johnson,
who played for six major league teams
including the Arizona Diamondbacks. In
addition to pitching the 17th perfect game
in baseball history (also his second no-hit-
ter), he is second only to Roger Clemens
in winning the most Cy Young Awards
(five).
Johnson also made a rehab start pitch-
ing with the Diablos in 2003 while he was
recovering from a sports-related injury.
School spirit
The University of Texas at El Paso sus-
pended its baseball program in the mid-
1980s. Although UTEP Athletics
Department representatives said there are
no immediate plans to bring baseball back
to the university, its softball program con-
tinues to do well, and the university hasnt
forgotten its past players.
According to Senior Associate Athletic
Director with Communications and
University Relations Jeff Darby, the UTEP
Athletic Hall of Fame inducted two former
Miner baseball players since its inception
in 2002.
Marc Bombard and Andy Cohen were
enshrined in 2006 and 2009, respectively,
Darby said. Marc holds numerous UTEP
pitching records, and Andy is credited with
being the architect of the Miner baseball
program.
Even without baseball at UTEP, college-
level play is still alive and well in the area
as both El Paso Community College, home
to the Tejanos, and Las Cruces New
Mexico State University, maintain active
baseball teams.
Baseball remains a popular high school
sport as well, and El Paso still holds the
distinction as home of the Bowie Bears
that won the first Texas high school tour-
nament staged in 1949. More recently, the
2009 Socorro Bulldogs baseball team that
won the Division 5A State Championship
Trophy was memorialized in the film doc-
umentary 21 Outs.
The next inning
Area sports writers and sports fans have
been watching the proceedings of the
future Triple-A team along with the fate of
the Diablos.
Sanchez said professional baseballs rela-
tionship with El Paso has always been a
little uncertain.
Ive covered professional baseball in El
Paso for more than 50 years and found it
mostly a shaky proposition.
He said even the popularity of the
Diablos declined rapidly after Jim Paul
sold the team, but he said amateur baseball
(for both players and spectators) has con-
tinued to be a popular pastime.
Its funny, because amateur and semi-
pro baseball has been a lot of fun to play
in El Paso, Sanchez said. Those kinds of
teams have abounded. It just hasnt been
that much fun to pay to watch professional
baseball.
As far as the latest development, Sanchez
said he is hoping to see positive things to
come.

Take yourself out to the ballgame
Im very hopeful but Im still keeping
my fingers crossed about the coming of a
Triple-A team to El Paso, he said.
There is also the matter of whether or not
the city will continue to support two base-
ball teams. Even LaBranche said it is hard
to foresee what will happen with the
Diablos.
He did say the efforts of Mountain Star
Sports and the city of El Paso should be
applauded for bringing Triple-A baseball
to El Paso.
It is an enormous thing for a city, he
said. Again, what that means for the El
Paso Diablos at the moment remains to be
seen.
Everyone can play
Of course the popularity of baseball isnt
measured by just who goes to the games,
but also how many youth and adults can be
found with bats and gloves in hand on any
given night or weekend.
El Paso Parks and Recreation hosts
leagues year round and tournaments year-
round on fields throughout the city. The
Southwest Baseball League offers leagues
for ages 4-14 at Irwin Lambka
(Cloudview) Park. Eastside (Album Park)
and Northgate (Veterans Park) Optimist
leagues and Wood Bat Summer Leagues at
Ascarate Park are just some of many other
recreational league opportunities.
Organizations such as Miracle League
and Special Olympics have helped make is
possible for anyone with the desire to play
baseball or softball.
Miracle League of El Paso Executive
Director Sandie Olivar estimated there
have been more than 400 registered play-
ers since the league started in 2005, About
800 volunteer youth partner with the dis-
abled players to help them play the game.
She said this years season marks an all
time high in new player registration
through its programs such as Ponder
Baseball.
The fresh air, the teamwork, sportsman-
ship, all come together for our players with
disabilities, Olivar said. No other sport is
as loved as baseball

T
he story of George Herold, one of
El Pasos most illustrious lawmen
who now is mostly forgotten, began in
Round Rock, Texas, a flourishing but
small railroad town 18 miles north of
Austin, on July 19, 1878. His greatest
exploit involved the famous outlaw Sam
Bass on the other side of Texas, but he also
was a key player in one of the most
notable shootouts in early El Paso history.
Sam Bass and his gang entered Round
Rock to map out their next bank robbery.
They stopped by the local general store
to purchase tobacco. Leaving the store,
Deputy Caige Grimes noticed Bass
wearing his pistol. The deputy, not rec-
ognizing Bass as the famous outlaw,
approached the group to disarm them, as
it was a town ordinance not to carry
guns within town limits. The deputy
never got the job done.
Bass wasnt very successful as an out-
law until he robbed the San Francisco
Union Pacific train of its gold. The gang
took $60,000 in newly minted $20 gold
pieces. They also robbed the passengers,
running off with another $1,300 and four
gold watches. That was in Nebraska. The
gang decided to split up after each mem-
ber gathered his share of the gold.
Within weeks, three were killed while
resisting arrest. Bass, disguised as a
farmer, made his way back to Texas. He,
along with a few members of the origi-
nal gang, held up stagecoaches and
robbed a few more trains, never netting
much booty, but succeeded in making a
lot of citizens unhappy.
The group headed for Round Rock.
Unbeknown to them, one of their own
had tipped off the Texas Rangers.
Outlaw Jim Murphy made a deal with
Major John B. Jones, Commander of the
Frontier Battalion, in order to free his
father from a Tyler, Texas jail. Murphy
wired Jones that Bass was headed for
Round Rock.
As Bass and the rest of his bunch were
walking out of the store with their tobac-
co, Deputy Grimes approached them;
Bass spun around pulling his pistol, fired
five shots killing Grimes instantly. The
Rangers in town heard the shots, and ran
out into the street.
Ranger Richard Clayton Ware was in
the barber chair getting a shave at the
time. He jumped up half-finished to
enter the fight. He killed one outlaw
straight off. He shot again hitting Bass.
Texas Ranger George Herold had
already fired his gun, hitting Bass in the
back. The wounded Bass was gathered
up by one of his confederates, and they
raced out of town. Bass was later found
lying helpless in a pasture north of town.
He died the next day.
Which Ranger killed Sam Bass is dis-
puted to this day. Several witnesses
claim Wares shot did Bass in, but if
Bass was able to get on a horse (even
with help) and flee, Herolds bullet
might have dealt the final blow. In an
official report based on the coroners
verdict, Texas Ranger Lt. Nevilles cred-
ited Herold with the fatal shot. Bass was
buried in Round Rock, July 21, 1887, on
his 27th birthday.
Following the fight in Round Rock,
Herold left the Rangers, and went to
work for the Mexican government. He
later rode with General George Crook in
the campaign against Geronimo, the
famous Apache warrior. He was a brake-
man with the Mexican Central Railroad,
but his real job was to guard both the
passengers and the mail from bandits,
Mexican and American alike, who
plagued the rail lines continuously in the
late 1880s.
Wishing to settle down, Herold joined
the El Paso police force, and served with
Jeff Milton, then the police chief.
Ex-Texas Ranger Herold was involved
in a number of incidences in his career
while serving the citizens of El Paso.
One involved a rancher named John
Barnes, who ran cattle on the east side of
the Franklin Mountains. On April 17,
1890 Barnes barged into the sheriffs
office stating that rustlers were stealing
some of his cattle and taking them over
Smugglers Gap. Deputy Herold and vis-
iting Texas Ranger Charles Fusselman
rode north to intercept the cow thieves.
Entering the canyon leading over the
Franklin Mountains they arrested the
rear guard easily, then proceeded on to
be surprised by the remaining outlaws. A
swift gun battle followed with a bullet
hitting Fusselman in the head, killing
him instantly. The rest of the lawmen ran
for their lives.
Later that day a posse from El Paso fol-
lowed the tracks of the stolen herd of
cattle across the mountain gap (known
today as Fusselmans Gap) only to lose
them in the bosque of the Rio Grande, in
present-day Canutillo.
George Herold stayed with the force as
a mounted officer until his later years.
He died in 1919 and is buried at
Evergreen Cemetery in El Paso.
We El Pasoans, most of whom have not
heard of George Herold, owe this forgot-
ten lawman a mountain of gratitude for a
lifetime of service. Maybe someday, the
full story of his adventures will be told.
John McVey Middagh is a former saddle
shop owner and an amateur local historian.

nternational Museum Day 2013 is
Saturday, May 18, with most major El
Paso museums joining literally thou-
sands of other venues across the nation to
celebrate this unique cultural event.
The IMD concept began in1977 when the
International Council of Museums (ICOM)
voted to set aside one day each year to
increase public awareness of the role
museums play in the development of soci-
ety. The idea has spread with each ensuing
year, and in 2012 International Museum
day garnered a record-breaking participa-
tion of nearly 32,000 museums hosting
events in more than 129 countries.
This year the ICOM will be partnering
with the UNESCO Memory of the World
Programme, which is dedicated to world
documentary heritage, sharing a common
vision of safeguarding heritage for the ben-
efit of society. The theme for this year is
Museums (memory + creativity) = social
change. Museums throughout the
Borderland will participate in this unique
concept by featuring special activities that
highlight their own individual specialities.
The El Paso Museum of History has
chosen to focus on technological innova-
tions by offering Skype (online video
calls) tours. Throughout the day May 18,
the museum will conduct a series of Skype
interviews with various museums around
the world. Following a brief introduction,
each of these museums will provide a tour
to highlight exhibits and other programs
that are currently underway. EPMH Public
Relations Director Claudia Ordaz explains,
We want to take advantage of using new
forms of technology to connect with muse-
ums around the globe.
The museum also will offer a Night in
the Museum Sleep-Over from midnight
Friday, May 17, to 8 a.m. Saturday, May
18. Learn the history of the historic ceme-
tery at Cleveland Square and take a flash-
light tour of the galleries. Breakfast at
night included. Cost is $20 per person;
children must be accompanied by a parent
or guardian. Registration required and lim-
ited to 15. Contact Sue Taylor at 351-3588.
At the El Paso Museum of Art, visitors
will be invited to enter the world of muse-
ums by partaking in activities that will not
only provide an inside look at what goes
on behind the walls, but also engage in
museum-related activities such as:
Responding to the artwork and sharing
their experiences in a temporary gallery
display.
Learning about different museum jobs
from staff members.
Getting a glimpse of how exhibits are
designed.
Voting for their favorite wall color for the
upcoming Discovering the American
Modern 1907-1936 exhibit
Museum of Art Education Curator
Elisabeth Sommers relates The general
concept of these activities is to de-mystify
the museum experience and encourage
community members to feel that this is truly
their museum. Which, in turn, we hope will
help to foster a sense of pride and owner-
ship in this vital community resource.
El Paso Exploreum (formerly Lynx
Exhibits) co-owner, Laurie Paternoster
notes that this is a wonderful opportunity
to experience the new Exploreum, which
will offer extended hours (6 to 8 p.m.) that
day. During the evening visitors with paid
admission are encouraged to participate in
an in-house scavenger hunt for prizes. By
following clues and successfully complet-
ing certain tasks, each guest with a com-
pleted card will earn a participation prize
and a chance to win free museum tickets,
simulator rides and discounts at the gift
shop.
El Paso Archaeology Museum will pres-
ent Sky Stories: Ancient and Modern, a
program interweaving Native American
stories of the night sky and knowledge of
the cosmos from the ancient Greeks and
other cultures with modern astronomical
science. Telescopes will be available.
Reservations are required due to limited
seating and parking. Call 755-4332.
Concordia Cemetery will offer special
ghost tours 8 to 11 p.m. May 18.
The regional Museum Scavenger Hunt
sponsored by the Border Museum
Association also kicks off on May 18 as
part of the International Museum Day
activities and will continue through July
20.
Heres how it works.
Begin by picking up a form at one of the
20 participating venues
Visit at least 10 of the museums and find
the item at each museum, as designated
on the form
After finding the item, make sure you get
your form stamped at each museum.
Once youve acquired at least 10 stamps,
turn in your form at the last museum you
visit so that your name will be entered in
the drawing for prizes. Prize baskets will
contain a dozen or more items such as puz-
zles, books, t-shirts and stuffed toys from
the museum gift shops. Names of those
acquiring 15 or more stamps will be
entered in a drawing for a super basket.
Everyone who completes the minimum of
ten clues will receive recognition prize
coupons.
The following El Paso locations will par-
ticipate in the Scavenger Hunt: El Paso
Exploreum, El Paso Museum of History,
El Paso Museum of Archaeology, El Paso
Museum of Art, the Magoffin Home, El
Paso Holocaust Museum and Study Center,
Railroad and Transportation Museum of El
Paso, UTEP Centennial Museum, National
Border Patrol Museum, the International
Museum of Art, TecH2O Learning Center,
the Planetarium, Old Fort Bliss, Chamizal
and the Concordia Cemetery.

Branigan Center, the Las Cruces Art
Museum, the Las Cruces Railroad
Museum and the Las Cruces Museum of
Nature and Science. Other Southern New
Mexico locations are the War Eagles
Museum at Santa Teresa and the Historical
Society Museum in Columbus.
Pop-Up Galleries, Last Thursdays
In January, I wrote about pop-up gal-
leries, a concept which began in 2011
when the Museum and Cultural Arts
Department (MCAD) secured a handful of
spaces and made them available to artists
to show temporary exhibitions during the
Chalk the Block Festival.
With the closing of so many permanent
galleries, it seems this concept might
become the wave of the future. Rather than
show their art in a traditional gallery set-
ting featuring specific locations and hours,
many young, contemporary artists are
choosing the pop-up option. In many
instances, these are locations that artist
rents for temporary periods of time, often
in vacant downtown spaces. The Second
Floor Contemporary Art Center, across the
street from Caf Central, and the Purple
Pop-Up Gallery in the 200 block of Mills,
across from the Cortez, are two somewhat
permanent locations.
Downtown Arts District Coordinator
Kaycee Dougherty relates that The Loft
Light Gallery on El Paso Street at
Overland, which has been open for three
years, was one of the first to operate in this

material reality of the prison experience to
illustrate the passage of time. He orchestrated

fashion. They dont have regular business
hours, but they open up their gallery space
on the Last Thursday, and have large
group shows and some kind of food tasting
or a live radio broadcast.
Dougherty explains that Last Thursdays
is an evening, downtown art walk that
includes art exhibitions, artist demonstra-
tions and performances, live-music, food
trucks, culinary tastings, with drink/dining
specials at downtown restaurants. As a col-
laboration between mARTket and the
Downtown Arts District, this monthly
gathering for artists, collectors and art
patrons was created to showcase the con-
temporary art scene of El Paso and to
encourage visitors to experience the cultur-
al renaissance that has emerged downtown.
Among the drawing points is that venues
such as the History and Art Museums have
extended hours, and fees for some exhibi-
tions are waived. Curator tours, film
screenings and art talks may be geared to
Last Thursdays in the near future. Also
many of the restaurants in the area will
offer specials. The Crossland Gallery and a
selection of the artists at the Art Junction
are also participating.
Last Thursday events are scheduled at
a variety of venues sited between Kansas
Street on the East, Missouri Street on the
North, Durazno on the West and Paisano
on the South. Because the Downtown
Circulator bus stops running at 8:30 pm,
visitors currently have to walk or drive
between locations.
Asarco End of an Era
The Asarco End of an Era show May
3-25 at Ardovinos Desert Crossings

scenes of the grounds, the powerhouse and
the smokestacks. Sponsors are the Sunland
Art Gallery, the Plein Air Painters of El
Paso and Ardovinos Desert Crossing.
The paintings by the Plein Air painters
and other local artists should be especially
poignant as they represent some of the last
images of the plant and the now defunct
smokestacks. The Plein Air group took
their easels to the Asarco site in January,
and had planned to show their work at the
Sunland Art Gallery until the gallery was
forced to close April 1.

from Jackson Polks new documentary,
Last Tour of the El Paso Smelter.
Hamilton Underwood, former engineer at
Asarco, will sign and sell his book, My
Memories of Asarco. Signed copies of

Remembering a Southwest Border
Community by Monica Perales, also will

A
gatha Christie got me started on
mysteries.
As a grade-schooler, I probably
read most, if not all, of her books. So
when I got my first directing assign-
ment in the 1980s, its not surprising
that I took on a Christie story rewritten
into a play.
Based on the 1937 book, And Then
There Were None, is probably the sec-
ond most popular of her plays. The first
is The Mousetrap, which holds the
record for the longest-running play in
London. The original name cant be
printed here it was written in times of
much less racial tolerance. When I
directed it, it had changed to Ten Little
Indians, which is now not very politi-
cally correct either. Now its titled And
Then There Were None.
But the plot is basically the same, and
its being directed at El Paso Playhouse
this month by Rachel Mullins.
Ten strangers are lured to a mansion
on Soldier Island under mysterious cir-
cumstances, said Mullins, who got her
start as a theater techie as a student at
Socorro High School and went on to
study theater arts at Concordia College
in Minnesota. After discovering that
their host hasnt arrived, and that they
all may be criminals, one by one, the
guests begin to perish, each one meeting
their end as it is described in the Ten
Little Soldier Boys poem displayed
above the mantle. A strange coincidence
is that, as each person dies, a porcelain
soldier vanishes off the mantle. With no
way off the island and no way of con-
tacting the mainland, the guests must
devise a plan for survival, or find the
killer before the last little soldier dies.
The Ysleta District middle school the-
ater teacher, who was a professional
stage manager for five years, said she
directed a parody of the show at her
school last year.
I thought Id like to try doing the real
deal. Mullins said. I remember my
grandma being a big Christie fan, and I
am a mystery fan in general, so I went
for the one that I felt had the most
intriguing plot.
Mullins has many familiar names in
the 10-person cast: Vanessa Welch as
Vera, Roland Esparza as Captain
Lombard, Kevin Mullin as Justice
Wargrave, Roger Estrada as William
Blore, Andrew Leal as Dr. Armstrong,
Jo Mae George as Emily Plain, Jake
Dalton as Gen. MacKenzie, Corey
Dlask as Dalton Rogers, Frieda Voeks
as Mrs. Rogers, and Jonathan Cantrell
as Anthony Marston.
My greatest joy so far Mullins said
(she was only three weeks into rehearsal
as this was written), have been the dis-
cussions we have had at rehearsal about
these diverse characters and what
Christies intentions are in the script.
The great characters and the way they
are developed and revealed are what
makes this a fun show to watch.
Not that there havent been some
obstacles, Mullins said.
Its the first time I have directed a
production at the El Paso Playhouse, so
my biggest challenge has been learning
the ins and outs of putting up a show
there. It takes a village
She has enjoyed it so much that she
will be directing again next season,
EPPHs 50th season, with The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever.
Ill be holding auditions at the play-
house the last weekend in September.
Send me your children, she said.

Local: The Killers Alive & Well
The Killers came shooting out of the cannon
with hits off of their debut Hot Fuss. There
was Smile Like You Mean it, Somebody
Told Me, and Mr. Brightside. That was
over a decade ago, and although some may
only remember those instant gems, they have
built up a pretty substantial catalogue of
work. There have been four proper LPs, a
B-sides & rarities collection, a concert from
the Royal Albert Hall, and even their vocalist
Brandon Flowers squeezed out a solo set.
The latest is Battleborn. It has yet to spawn
the waterfall of chart-toppers that their first
disc did, which is unfortunate because it con-
tains songs equal to, or in some cases even
surpassing, those past cuts. This foursome
from Las Vegas continues to take the best of
new wave synth, bountiful guitar hooks and
layer after layer of memorable choruses. The
band has been here two times before, so
dont get caught in a three strikes situation.
Let the Killers live another day and visit
them when they come to our town Monday,
May 6, at the Abraham Chavez Theatre.
National: David Bowie, The
Next Day, Columbia Records
For the past decade the only news about our
favorite chameleon was who was reissuing
which of his seminal albums and why it is so
much better than the last time it got a
makeover. Amazingly this is not going to be
one of those times. After hibernating for the
last 10 years David Bowie has emerged, and
it is as if no time has passed since his last
two releases. Many of the same musicians
who made an appearance on 2002s
Heathen are here, and producer Tony
Visconti helms the ship for his third straight
time. The CD is particularly upbeat, with an
unexpected overflowing bounty of fast-paced
numbers from a man who announced the
release of this disc on his 60th birthday. To
top it off and keep us on our toes he chose to
release a very dark, moody and sparsely
arranged ballad as his first video. Many
thought his rocking days were behind him,
but oh how he misled us. There is even a
track that brings back to mind his days spent
with Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.
If The Next Day is 10 years in David
Bowies world Ill need a follow-up in one
second to this incredible LP.
Anthrax, Anthems,
Megaforce Records
Anthrax may not have the fan base of
Megadeth or Metallica, but they helped bring
the thrash and speed metal sounds out of the
underground and into the mainstream as
much as those mighty bands. It all began
more than a quarter-century ago. With their
very first album Fistful of Metal they
demonstrated their penchant for remake
cover versions with the inclusion of Alice
Coopers Im Eighteen. A few years later
they treated us to Black Sabbaths Sabbath
Bloody Sabbath. Fast forward a few
decades and we are at their latest,
Anthems, an EP that is steeped deeply in
paying homage to some of their favorites
from the 1970s. Out of the eight cuts, six
take on other artists, and one reworks their
own past with a remix of Crawl from their
2011 Worship Music. The main dish here
is who they have chosen to honor. Most
names are very comfortable being uttered in
the same breath as Anthrax, but there are a
few at first mention that cause a very serious
pause. AC/DC, Rush, and Thin Lizzy make
sense, but Cheap Trick, Boston, and Journey
huh, what? Lets set the record straight
now before disbelief sets in: They all work,
and do they ever. All are masterfully done
with a sprinkling of Anthrax and many are
taken to an entirely new level.
Iggy and the Stooges, Ready
to Die, Fat Possum Records
The godfather of punk returns to past glory
on a new label, Fat Possum, which is sure to
be pleased to see Iggy return to his roots.
The last time we had heard from the 65-year-
old was on Astralwerks records. Astralwerks
dropped him after his disastrous, quieter
Prliminaires that was laden with jazz
overtones, but lets pretend that never hap-
pened. This is the first official Iggy and the
Stooges release since 1973. He revisited his
past about six years ago, but that was simply
The Stooges. There is good reason for the
return to the original name, since three out of
four of the original members make up the
band. They plow through every song with
spit and vinegar, as if four decades hadnt
passed and they were still taking on all the
worlds injustices. The bass duties are in very
capable hands with the legendary Mike Watt
thumping away, as if he had been there since
day one. Hopefully Ready to Die is not
suggesting he has given us his best work
since his time in the sun. With ten cuts like
this, there is no way that his legions of fans
wont be clamoring for a follow up.
Collectibles: The Breeders,
LSXX, 4AD
Two amazing college bands splintered into
one band no one saw coming; Half rose from
the ashes of the legendary Pixies, and the
other half found its way after dissolving a
relationship with Throwing Muses. Kim Deal
and Tanya Donelly dreamt up the idea of The
Breeders while on tour together in 1990 with
their then day job groups, and what followed
was a career that lasted essentially four years
and produced two outstanding full-lengths
and two EPs. On April 30, one of those cata-
logue pieces is being overhauled in grand
fashion: Last Splash, which became a
worldwide sensation with their hit
Cannonball. The updated collection titled
LSXX is the 20-year anniversary, and it is
being expanded to three times its original
size on CD and seven times on vinyl (they
chose to release 10-inch platters). Included is
a full-length version of the live concert
Stockholm Syndrome, which tops its pre-
vious form of a fan-club-only release with
nine extra cuts. The new edition overflows
with demos and BBC session tracks, and a
few numbers that were on various compila-
tions throughout the years. Of course no
commemorative piece is complete without
the expanded booklet of unpublished photo-
graphs taken during the recording process
and subsequent touring. A new tour starts
this month, so one can only assume this isnt
going to be their Last Splash.
