CulturePass Opens Doors at 15 Museums and Sites New Mexico is known worldwide for its outstanding system of 15 state museums and historic sites, showing off the state’s intriguing blend of arts, history and life ways. A fabulous way to enjoy them is to take advantage of the magnificent New Mexico CulturePass program. For only $25 you can visit each of the state’s museums and historic sites once during a 12-month period. Whether deboarding in Santa Fe, Albuquerque or points in between, just flash your pass to experience authentic New Mexico at a museum or historic site near you. You can purchase the New Mexico CulturePass at any state museum or historic site or online at newmexicoculture.org.

One of the most fascinating opportunities for fun and education is at the magnificent New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque.

The state’s largest natural history museum, it has been open to the public for more than 27 years. It is a collections-based museum and the official state repository for all fossils collected on state and federal lands in New Mexico.

With nearly 100,000 fossil and biological specimens from throughout the state, the museum’s many exhibits highlight the rich natural history of New Mexico. You can take a walk through prehistoric New Mexico and see the only Triassic Hall in North America, or discover how and why the personal computer revolution started in Albuquerque, or see one of the few moon rocks on display in the world. With a largeformat theater, a planetarium, interactive exhibits and active science research programs, the Museum of Natural History and Science has something for every walk of life. All of this is supplemented with special events to thrill New Mexicans and visitors alike.

Let Portfolio Plan Your Retirement If you are a state or federal employee, “the government will pay you retirement benefits but it will not show you how to retire,” says Lee Munson, Chief Investment Officer of Portfolio Wealth Advisers in Albuquerque.

Portfolio offers comprehensive financial consulting and management services to clients who increasingly are coming from the public employment sector, Munson says.

State and federal employees who “need somebody who understands and cut through the red tape and give them a plan to retire. The same bureaucracy they deal with every day is running their retirement,” he notes.

Portfolio does not take clients who are not willing to sit down, define their goals and work on a plan for asset management, Munson says. “We are not stockbrokers. We are a business, and there is a cost for our services. There’s no free lunch. But we are transparent; we don’t hide behind unexpected ‘fees’—you know what you’re buying and what it costs. We are a fiduciary; that means we are required by law to act in the best interests of the clients.”

Federal and state employees have good retirement benefits compared to people in the private sector, Munson says, but they need advisors who understand the pension and benefit systems, the federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and state Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP), and how to IW for a life after work. “People spend a lifetime putting X E 6 plan money X into a savings plan, but they don’t know what to do RK Ethese savings when they retire,” he says. “They can 7XEVXMwith end up making wrong moves and some are irreversible.”

A big problem is that the retiree’s investments may not be goal-based, Munson explains. “They’re looking at performance of a single investment versus achieving personal goals. There is no one magic bullet.”

Risk changes and markets change, Munson says. His clients are asked to sit down and look at 1) what they want to accomplish with their money, 2) what they have to work with, and—with Portfolio’s advice and counsel—3) how to get a plan together to accomplish their goals.

Portfolio developed its New Mexico-based expertise in public-sector employee retirement almost by default, Munson says, because of the demographics here.

“There are just a lot of state and federal employees in New Mexico, and they need to know that this expertise exists for them in their own backyard, as opposed to looking on the Web for out-of-state firms that say, ‘We specialize in federal employees’ because they are trying to find a niche,” he says. “We walk the walk and talk the talk every day.”

Munson is both a registered Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Analyst. He began his career as a trader on Wall Street in New York in the 1990s, but became disillusioned by what he saw as a “rigged system” that favored insiders over investors. He moved to New Mexico, where his wife Alison has roots, and opened his own Registered Investment Advisory, Portfolio LLC, which recently merged with Red River Advisors, LLC to become Portfolio Wealth Advisors. Munson is President and Chief Investment Officer of the firm, which has offices in Albuquerque and Oklahoma City.

Munson’s success at taking the comprehensiveplanning approach has drawn the attention of financial media. He is regularly quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Smart Money and Investment News. He splits weekly appearances between Fox’s After The Bell, CNBC’s The Closing Bell and Street Signs. He enjoys flying to New York for in-person appearances with Maria Bartiromo’s Opening Bell.

While many 0MROWHI7ERXE*I GSQ experts use ghostwriters, Munson is proud that he wrote every word of his 2011 book “Rigged “The ride is great and the people are amazing, but the best is Money: Beating Wall Street at Its Own Game.” having the time to relax and not have to worry about driving.”

“Experience leads to wisdom,” he says. “Writing the

- Jim Rivera, Rio Rancho book caused me to reflect on what I learned from the rigged system. I learned a whole lot.”

Santa Fe: Exotic, Historic, Romantic Destination Few phrases in American travel carry more romance, more implied exoticism, than the words Santa Fe. And yet, they’re a nickname, a shorthand version of the town’s full name: La Villa de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis.

The City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi. The name tells the history—and the story. Originally the site of by a number of Pueblo Indian villages with founding dates between 1050 to 1150, Santa Fe became a destination for Franciscan friars and settlers in the late 16th century.

The Santa Fe River provided water to people living and/ or settling here. The Santa Fe River is now an endangered, seasonal waterway that was a year-round stream until the 1700s when it was dammed.

Don Juan de Oñate led the first effort to colonize the region in 1598, establishing Santa Fe de Nuevo México as a province of New Spain. New Mexico’s second Spanish governor, Don Pedro de Peralta founded the city at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in 1607. In 1610, he made it the capital of the province, which it has almost constantly remained, making it the oldest state capital in the United States.

Santa Fe is definitely award-winning. Early in the 20th century, it took off as a destination for artists, art lovers, food lovers, and tourists, and it has grown virtually and literally ever since. Currently a town of about 75,000, it holds several distinctions: according to USA Today it’s the No. 1 Shopping Destination in the country; in Travel + Leisure, the No. 1 Cultural Getaway and No. 1 Spa and Relaxation Destination; in Condé Nast Traveler, the No. 2 Top U.S. City to Visit.

The American Lung Association says Santa Fe has the Cleanest Air in America; the American Podiatric Association calls it the Top Walking City in the U.S. (despite its 7,199 feet in altitude), and Santa Fe cuisine and wines are usually ranked in the Top Ten in the U.S. by various culinary sources.

Locally the Santa Fe Farmers Market represents over 150 active vendors and features hundreds of different agricultural products. To further meet Santa Fe’s demand for fresh, local produce, the Market began operating year-round in 2002, and with more and more farmers using extended growing techniques, the “off season” becomes more successful every year.

Poets and artists wax lyrical about the famed, magical Santa Fe vespers light—sundown at the Bell Tower at La Fonda on the Plaza is the best place to observe the magic, by the way. There are 250 art galleries in three major art districts—Guadalupe Street/Railyard, Downtown/Plaza and Canyon Road. You’ll be in the Railyard District when you walk out of the train. Wander north on Guadalupe Street and then west a block on Manhattan to start your shopping at the historic Sanbusco complex.

As for performing arts, there are live acts in clubs and bars all over town, plus the Lensic Center for the Performing Arts, the Armory for the Arts and the Railyard Performance Space.

At least four active theatre companies call Santa Fe home, and there’s a home-grown circus, the world-famous Santa

RAIL RUNNER EXPRESS

Bernalillo: Where History Lives on Main Street The main street of the town of Bernalillo – the one you can walk to only a couple of blocks from the station where you get off the Rail Runner Express – is called Camino del Pueblo (the Road of the Town). It runs right through this friendly little town’s business district and right through its history as well. On El Camino you’ll find the 150-year-old restored convento that housed the Sisters of Loretto when they came to town in mid-19th-century to run a school for girls. The restored convent, now called El Zocalo, is the home of the Sandoval County Visitors and Events Center, which hosts community and private events.

Across the street is the 160-year-old Our Lady of Sorrows Church, an adobe church that was hand-built by parishioners on land donated by Bernalillo founding father Jose Leandro Perea, who also donated the land for the nuns’ convent and for the two-story circa-1912 high school next door. The old church was superseded by the red-brick edifice next door and today is managed and maintained by the Matachines de Bernalillo under the church’s supervision.

Folks in Bernalillo take pride in the town’s history.

Sandoval County Historical Society Archivist Martha Liebert informs us that Our Lady of Sorrow was the last church in a string of missions established by famed Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy—in fact, Bernalillo is mentioned several times in Willa Cather’s 1927 novel “Death Comes for the Archbishop.”

Holy history isn’t the only kind in Bernalillo, the county seat of Sandoval County. It began as a farming community in the early 19th century on the east bank of the Rio Grande. It has a population of approximately 8,000 today and is essentially a neighbor community to the much larger Albuquerque to the south.

Secular business has a hometown, small-town feel in Bernalillo, but there are two businesses on El Camino that “I love taking in our beautiful New Mexican sky and landscapes.”

have become known nationally and even internationally: The Range Café and Silva’s Saloon.

Twenty-two years ago, Range Café owners Tom and Matt opened up for breakfast in a weathered, adobe building in Bernalillo. Soon, the Range Café was able to add full lunch and dinner menus. Through word of mouth, the restaurant gained a reputation for ordinary food made extraordinarily well with local, fresh ingredients. Then, in 1995, the entire restaurant burned to the ground. The Range Cafe received a tremendous community response— customers and compassionate members of the community helped rebuild the restaurant.

“The Range,” as aficionados call it, was restarted in Bernalillo in a funky, historic building that had been home to the Lovato Drug. In 1996, the Range Cafe officially reopened at 925 Camino del Pueblo in downtown Bernalillo.

The Range is a true local restaurant – and a chain; that is, community enthusiasm enabled the owners to expand with an Albuquerque location as well. Locals proudly claim it has “the funkiest atmosphere in all of New Mexico,” but the food is straightforward New Mexican comfort.

Besides, Silva’s Saloon, at 955 Camino del Pueblo, might challenge The Range on the funk quotient. “Somebody loves this place,” a perceptive Esquire magazine travel writer once wrote after entering Silva’s. He was right. Lots of people love Silva’s.

New Mexico’s oldest, continually operated bar, it’s a place where history literally hangs from the rafters.

Esquire went on to list Silva’s as one of the top 10 coolest bars in the country. Silva’s opened the day after Prohibition ended and has been serving under one family as the gathering place for the cognoscenti of good watering holes ever since. Dead patrons leave their hats to Silva’s, where they hang from the rafters. Thirsty customers from everywhere gather at the O-shaped bar under the ancient millinery. The walls are lined with an eclectic collection of old license plates, stuffed roosters, a bottle of mezcal worms, and a very large array of signs addressed to customers: THE POOL TABLE CLOSES AT 8. It’s as true of Bernalillo as it is of Silva’s: somebody loves this place.

ABQ’s Perfect Blend of Coffee and Comfort

David and Juan Certain at the coffee farm in Colombia.

There was nothing more natural-inevitable, it almost seems-than that brothers Juan and David Certain should have opened Albuquerque’s favorite new coffee shop when they emigrated to the U.S. from Colombia.

Coffee, after all, is the family business.

The excellence of the coffee at The Brew can be traced to its source, Juan says. Their coffee comes from their grandfather’s 50-year-old Villa Myriam hacienda and farm in the coffee-growing mountains of their native country. From a young age, the brothers were taught to pick and sort the coffee berries (known as “cherries” for their red color when raw).

The Certains came to the U.S. in 1999. “We landed in Miami,” Juan recalls, “and decided we didn’t like Miami.

So we thought, ‘Where can we go in this country to get started? We had an aunt who lived in Rio Rancho.”

Voila! Within a few years, The Brew was born. The coffee from Villa Myriam is the best Arabica bean. “It’s our grandfather’s coffee, grown at high altitude and in natural shade, so it is a better bean,” Juan says.

These two don’t just rely on childhood memories.

David has completed the Roasters Guild of America retreat in Oregon, so he knows what he’s doing at the roaster. Juan, a Baristas Guild of America certified Level I barista, draws what’s often described as the best shot of espresso in Albuquerque. They marry those shots with milk from local Rashland Farms and natural syrups made expressly for The Brew by Joliesse Chocolatiers.

The friendly, comfortable design of the store is part of the attraction, too. The Brew recently opened a patio painted by local artist Alnair Lara. Inside, patrons can chose among brightly colored, comfortably upholstered seating.

“We’re trying to make it feel like coming into our living room,” Juan says. “It’s all about the social connotations of coffee. People can relax and share coffee with their friends.”

The quality of the coffee berries is of utmost importance.

SECU Membership Not Just For State Employees Despite its name, the State Employees Credit Union (SECU), a not-for-profit financial institution that has branches throughout north-central and northeast New Mexico, is not restricted to just state employees for membership.

With a main office on St. Michael’s Drive in Santa Fe, SECU also has branches on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe and in Albuquerque, Belen, Las Vegas, Los Lunas and Rio Rancho. Who can join? Any person who works for or has retired from any state, city, or county agency in New Mexico; any employee of companies that do contract work for state, city, or county government, including vendors, road builders, maintenance workers, contractors, etc. who contract with or sell to city, state, or county agencies in New Mexico; any person who lives or works in Valencia or San Miguel counties; any person who has ever been a member of State Employees Credit Union, and employees of any publishing or printing company located in Santa Fe, Taos and Rio Arriba counties. Plus, membership is available to family members of any of the above groups.

“That’s a far wider reach than most people realize we have,” says marketing director Kyle Moore.

“Particularly in Valencia and San Miguel counties, we serve anybody who lives or works there. We can be their primary financial institution.”

This is good news for the many people eligible to join the SECU, because unlike being just another bank customer, becoming a member of State Employees Credit Union means you’re acquiring an active voice in a credit union that functions for your specific needs.

As a not-for-profit institution, rather than focusing on personal gains, SECU pours any profits back into the credit union to provide better rates, products, and services for its members. Besides simple banking needs, SECU also works hard to secure a number of Member Loyalty Rewards that provide its members with value and discounts in several aspects of their lives.

For individuals, it all starts with a member savings account. State Employees Credit Union commonly makes financial presentations to both small and large groups of employees. They would be happy to share their current offers, the difference a credit union provides, as well as how they can assist in providing your group a more rewarding financial experience.

Sanbusco: The Market with the Most!

12

Sanbusco, located at a nexus of Santa Fe’s historic Railyard and Guadalupe Districts, is a buzzing collection of 15 stores offering unique and eclectic wares, plus three restaurants known for their succulent food. “It’s a vibrant place,” says Sanbusco property manager Anne Cumming. “I guess that comes naturally when you have such a great mix of tenants.”

The famous logo—Sanbusco—was first used by the Santa Fe Builders Supply Company in May, 1933. But the building and its history began long before that.

The railroad came to Santa Fe in the late 19th century, and Santa Fe Builders Supply Company was one of the first businesses built at the end of the new Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe spur line that accommodated freight transfer and commerce into Santa Fe from Lamy, N.M. Nicknamed “Sanbusco,” the big center thrived for many years. By 1942 it had grown to a cluster of warehouses and sheds sprawling across five acres. Eventually, changes in railroad use left most of the structures abandoned. They were about to be condemned by the time they were purchased by Schepps New Mexico in 1984.

After removing 100 years’ worth of plaster, which had transformed the original building into an ersatz “pueblo” style, the true western warehouse aesthetic was revealed. Sanbusco Market Center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The New Mexico Register of Historic Places and The New Mexico Register of Cultural Places.

Today, Sanbusco Market Center stands as a unique shopping venue with its exposed tin roof accents and the original tile and brick manufactured at the state penitentiary.

In combination with the center’s new function as an emporium came a refreshing application of industrial-style lighting, exposed infrastructure and a lively color scheme. That eclectic collection of restaurants, shops and offices now operates in a new era of commercial activity.

Sanbusco is known to discerning shoppers and visitors as a place to find unusual items sold by locally owned and operated businesses. The only chain store is Cost Plus World Market, located in a free-standing store on the center’s north side. Sanbusco’s offerings fall into the realms of apparel, art and collectibles, books, children’s items, food, gifts, health and beauty, home furnishings, jewelry, pens and stationary, supplies, restaurants, salons, shoes, and toys. If you can’t find what you’re looking for at Sanbusco, you’re not really looking!

Sanbusco had some bad times when Borders folded abruptly and left a large anchor space on its southwest corner—but it has redeemed the large www.nmrailrunner.com/www.travelnewmex.com | FALL - WINTER 2014

space by allowing special events to take place there.

The recent gala “Game of Thrones” party was held there after the opening of Jean Cocteau Theatre, and even more lately the Santa Fe Kiwanis used the space to build its annual Zozobra puppet. “We’re very open to having events there,” Cumming says.

Meanwhile, Sanbusco continues, as vibrant as ever under a new roof. “It’s one of the strongest commercial properties in the Railyard,” Cumming says. The current list of businesses includes Bodhi Bazaar, clothing; Cost Plus World Market; Dell Fox Jewelry; Eidos Contemporary Jewelry; El Tesoro, gifts and one-of-a-kind items; Get it Together, clothing; Kioti, clothing and accessories; Mercedes Isabel Velarde Fine Jewelry & Art; On Your Feet, shoes; On Your Little Feet, children’s shoes; op.cit. books; Pandora’s, specialty items; Pranzo Italian Grill; Raaga, fine Indian dining; Ristra, fine dining; Rock Paper Scissor Salon & Spa; Santa Fe Pens, and Teca Tu, pet supplies.

It isn’t surprising that Sanbusco has rebounded with such energy. This area of central Santa Fe is attracting an increasing number of visitors and local residents, especially with the arrivals daily of the New Mexico Rail Runner Express, Cumming notes.

Sanbusco’s history and distinct architectural flair provide an authentic Santa Fe image for any business and the location is preferred for its proximity to downtown and the surrounding Guadalupe District.

It’s just a short walk from the Santa Fe Depot to the Sanbusco Market Center.

“By saving money by using the rail runner we are able to go to the movies and dinner more often.”

RAIL RUNNER EXPRESS

Santa Claran: Rest and Recreation in the Heart of Northern New Mexico Psst! Looking for a great place to get away for the weekend? Someplace to renew the old romantic ties… maybe have a little fun at the slot machines or table games and eat some good food? Find out if your old magic touch with the bowling ball and pins is still intact? Play golf on an award-winning course? Maybe you’re looking for a place to get together with your far-flung sales associates, where everyone can unwind and relax while building togetherness with a little fun?

Here’s our tip: the Santa Claran Hotel • Casino in the center of Española, New Mexico. This fabulous place of understated elegance and warm hospitality soars seven stories into the blue skies of New Mexico. It was designed and built in traditional pueblo style—no surprise because it is wholly owned by Santa Clara Pueblo, and sits on pueblo land checkerboarded into the city of Española.

It’s a place to escape to the beauty of the Southwest, experience the hospitality of Santa Clara Pueblo and discover more than you expected to find.

You’ll walk into a welcoming, Arts and Crafts-style interior in a hotel with 124 rooms with 21 suites, wifi internet access, a seventh-floor function space with panoramic views, 16,000 square feet of event and meeting spaces, a 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour business center and gift shops featuring the work of local pueblo artists—all with an adjacent casino, bowling center, lavish pool, two tasty restaurants, an upscale bar, and a coffee bar that proudly brews Starbucks coffee.

And at the Santa Claran, you’ll be within a short driving distance of many of northern New Mexico’s famous attractions. If you choose not to drive, visitors can exit at the South Capitol Station on weekdays and connect to a free North Central RTD bus to get to Española. The worldrenowned Santuario de Chimayo is just to the east, in the heart of the village famous for its weavings and other arts.

A drive up the High Road to Taos will take you to Truchas, the locale of “The Milagro Beanfield War,” and to Las Trampas, whose ancient mission church was featured in “Bless Me, Ultima.”

The Santa Claran also operates Black Mesa Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Baxter Spann that is ranked one of America’s Top 50 by Golf Magazine. You will play and relax on flowing fairways beneath dramatic sandstone ridges next to a sprawling, mountainous valley. The club can accommodate any size or type of tournament or golf outing, “I love when we travel through the pueblos in areas that you normally don’t see from the highway.”

- Deborah Collins, Santa Fe

so polish your clubs and get ready! The on-site Black Mesa Grill offers excellent dining as well.

The unique feature of a stay at the Santa Claran is the opportunity for a look into the pueblo’s historic past. Using material found at the Puyé Cliffs site, ninth-century pueblo people sculpted their homes in the soft volcanic rock of the Parajito Plateau. Hand-hold trails carved into the rock allowed them to travel between levels. The awe-inspiring views found voice in their name for the place: The Place Between Earth and Sky. Puyé was occupied until the 1600s, when the pueblo people completed their migration into the valley below to cultivate new fields.

Santa Clara Pueblo maintains the Puyé Cliff Dwellings, once the pueblo’s ancestral home, and now a National Historic Landmark, on NM 30 and Puyé Cliffs Road. Puyé Cliffs has the cliff dwellings, early Pueblo architecture, a 19th-century Harvey House and a breathtaking vista of northern New Mexico.

The Puyé Cliffs Welcome Center at the road intersection is a place to top off the tank, buy a newspaper, grab a snack, light breakfast or lunch, and purchase Santa Clara Pueblo souvenirs.

But the best way to experience the Puyé Cliff Dwellings is on one of the tours operated by the Pueblo. Tickets can be purchased at Puye Cliffs Welcome Center or directly at Puye Cliff Dwellings. There’s a Harvey House tour to the restored 1930s Harvey House and its grounds. The Harvey House was built by the Fred Harvey Company as part of the chartered Indian-country tours the firm offered to railroad passengers. There is the Puyé Cliff Dwellings Tour, a onehour guided tour of the trains and the cliff dwellings. The one-hour Puyé Cliff Mesa Top Tour will take you to the Mesa Top by vehicle, without as much climbing.

And finally, the two-hour Puyé Cliffs Adventure Tour combines the Puyé Village, Mesa Top and Cliff face in a rich explication of the fascinating history.

All this, and a vibrant hotel and casino, too!
