David McKeever, former
Norwood resident and now a
life sciences teacher at Aztec
(NM) High School, wants to
change people's attitudes
about nature.
When he began work on his
Master's thesis two years
ago, David came up with the
idea of a nature trail that
would show students the
wide variety of life that exists
in the desert regions around
Aztec.
"People usually drive along
and think there is nothing
out here. But once you stop
and take a close look, there
are a lot of things going on.
The most common comment
we get is that people did not
realize there was so much
out there," he said.
The object of the trail was

The traff, with markers
along the path teaching
about the plant life, geology
and history of the area, runs
for more than a mile.
By learning about the fragile
ecostructure of the area,
people may begin to think
twice about bulldozing or
four-wheeling areas into ex-
tinction, McKeever said.
Plant life in the area is
uniquely adapted to the low
rainfall, high winds and poor
soil conditions. Today, with
skyrocketing bills be-
At the May 18 meeting of
the San Mlguel County Com-
missioners the county's
budget director was given
authorization to make ap-
plication through Colorado
Counties (CCI) for financing
to possibly purchase space
in the Daved Building. The
county has been strapped for
space, and in fact had to
move the Sheriff's office, and
has been considering the
third floor of the Daved
Building for some time.
Also at the meeting the
commissioners approved a
special use permit applied
for by US West to place
microwave repeaters on Wil-
son Mesa; approved amend-
ments to the flood plain
regulations; and approved
liquor licenses for Freida An-
nette Deweese dba Basin
Store for retail sales and on-
premises consumption.
Terry Starr was reap-
pointed to the Board of Ad-
Justment and the county will
advertise another vacancy
on that board.
Bids were opened for the
1989 bridge replacement
project which includes those

Ilium. Following the county
engineer's review of the bids,
recommendations will be
made and the commis-
sioners will make their
