She lived in a very remote village in the northern part of the country where very little grows and very little happens by way of a cash economy.

"This is an incredible achievement," Katzin said. "It is rare for people to go university in this part of the country." Carolyn has said her biggest challenge now is figuring out how to get the other five children through unive...
Todd Schulke of the Center for Biological Diversity also has reservations about the proposed plant, largely because it would use primarily piñon and juniper trees. The ecology of piñon-juniper woodlands is not as well understood as ponderosa pine forests, which are generally agreed to be overgrown with small trees. Yet Schulke believes that New Mexico's biggest forest-health problem - too many trees - could be eased, at least for a few decades, by cutting trees for energy.

Christmas tree retailers are selling more than a product. Theyre selling a tradition. Its getting out with their kids and walking through the trees and picking the ones they want, said Bob Whipkey, 64, who runs the Whipkey Tree Farm off the Big Chimney exit of Interstate 64. Whipkey provides families with the tools they need to enjoy the day. I give them a saw and turn them loose, and they look till they find the perfect tree, he said. Hes been running his tree business since 1991, when he realized he needed to start saving up for his kids college fund.
