FEEDBACK

Letters to the editor:

Welcome to our second edition of The Corridor.

These first few weeks creating and launching a new community newspaper have been a mixture of exhiliration, exhuberance and exhaustion! I would like to thank each and every one of our readers for taking the time to pick up the first issue of our paper. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Readers have contacted us from across the depth and breadth of the corridor region.

Here are some examples: We received a call from a reader in Estancia, New Mexico. He first thanked us for creating this publication. He said he likes the name “The Corridor” and he enjoyed reading it. He told us that he picked up the paper at Moriarty Foodstore, where he does his monthly shopping. He asked if we could distribute The Corridor in Estancia (Estancia is about 17 miles south of Moriarty). He told us that he spends time at the Senior Center (Torrance County Senior Center) and that the seniors who frequent the center have another paper that they look forward to reading every month. We are working on getting some help distributing The Corridor in Estancia, especially to the Senior Center there.

I received a call from Carla Ward, who lives in Sandia Crest. She had picked up a copy of The Corridor and wished to advertise her business. Ms. Ward is the owner of Tinkertown, now celebrating their 32nd season as a folk art museum and tourist destination. Carla’s husband Ross, who passed away in 2002 from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, spent over 40 years hand-crafting the exhibits in this one-of-akind folk art museum. You can find out more about Tinkertown by reading the story on page 6.

We have also had several calls from readers in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The general consensus from everyone who has contacted us is that they love the paper, enjoy reading it and look forward to the next issue. Wow! It is this kind of response that makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Finally, I received our first “Letter to the Editor” from a reader who was happy with the new paper but had a concern that we did not have a “Letters to the Editor” section. We have remedied that concern by providiing this “Feedback” page. We hereby invite readers to submit their comments and suggestions for our review and to be reprinted for the consideration of the readers in our community. You can see the entire text of this reader’s letter, as well as my reply, in the right column on this page.

We have also created a Feedback Forums page on our online edition - http://thecorridornm.com/feedback/. To use these forums, just go to this page (you’ll find the link at the top of the home page) and register. You will receive a confirmation email, after which you can log in and post your comments and suggestions to the forums. Our editorial staff will monitor the forums throughout the month. We will then bring highlights from these forums to the Feedback page when we print the next issue.

Of course, you can always send us your feedback at editor@thecorridornm.com, or by snail mail at The Corridor, 7 Avenida Vista Grande #252, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87508. You can also call our office at 505-438-9600.

We hope you enjoy our April issue as well. We were fortunate to bring home a great picture story about the Living History Civil War Weekend which took place on March 28th and 29th on the grounds of the Pecos National Historical Park in Pecos, New Mexico. This event marked the 153rd Anniversary of the famed “Battle of Glorieta Pass”, which was a decisive battle in the Civil War and a turning point in the outcome of the war, as well as the history of the United States of America. You can read the entire story on pages 4 and 5 of this issue.

Thanks for reading The Corridor. We invite you to send us comments and suggestions any time. We are dedicated to making this paper about the people, the history and the culture that makes our piece of the West unique. We are always looking for great story ideas, and welcome your input.

Best regards, Marc-Paul LaRouche Editor and Publisher The Corridor – Community News, Views & More

Hi! I commend you on your paper, its idea. It looks quite good.

But, I do not see a section dedicated to community participation/letters to the editor.

So, I wonder, is this going to be another paper ONLY dedicated to serve the business industry of the region, giving no opportunity to the thousands of people linked by ‘the corridor’ to express their ideas, concerns and their visions for our future, in a word, to be able to dialogue about living here?

If you do not create such a section then how is this paper going benefit/ serve (other than tourists and newcomers) us, the inhabitants of ‘the corridor’? eduardo Thank you for your letter and for reading The Corridor.

The April issue will include our “Feedback” section with letters, comments and suggestions for The Corridor paper, letters from and to the community, etc. We will always welcome letters to the editor. At our discretion we may reprint these letters for all to read, to consider, and to respond.

We are also setting up a “Feedback Forum” online. Instructions for using the “Feedback Forum” will be printed in the April issue as well as being available online. To use this forum you will need to register on thecorridornm.com. Then any site member will be able to post comments and participate in forums online. Our editorial staff will monitor these forums and we will bring the highlights from the forums, as well as letters such as yours, to the paper each month for our readers to see and consider.

Best regards, Marc-Paul LaRouche Editor and Publisher The Corridor – Community News, Views & More

The Battle of Glorieta Pass Living history Civil War Weekend at Pecos National Historical Park commemorates the 153rd anniversary of the Battle of Glorieta Pass

Corridor staff photos by Marc-Pau LaRouche and Deborah A. LaRouche

Three days in March of 1862, March 26 - March 28, 1862, marked a decisive battle in New Mexico for the Civil War. The Battle of Glorieta Pass was the culmination of these 3 days, and changed the course of the war and American history. To commemorate this battle, the National Park Service sponsored a Living History weekend on Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th, 2015 on the grounds of the Pecos National Historical Park in Pecos, New Mexico .

The weekend included 2 full days of activities at the E.E. Fogelson Visitor Center, featuring a kid’s table, exhibitor table, Civil War merchandise, discussions of the military use of the Santa Fe Trail, the role of the Santa Fe Trail in expanding U.S. commercial and military interests in the New Mexico Territory, as well as a talk by park volunteer and retired physician Bob Mallin on “Civil War surgery: the good, the bad and the ugly”.

Field activities were held both days at the old Kozlowski’s ranch and stage station. This ranch had played an important logistical role in the Battle of Glorieta Pass. A Civil War style encampment was set up for the weekend, with volunteers in period outfits playing the roles that they represented. Activities included the 1st New Mexico Field Music, Fife and Drum, demonstrations by the 3rd New Mexico Volunteers “drilling like a Civil War soldier”, black powder rifle demonstrations, and discussion and demonstration by the 5th Regiment U.S. Infantry about small arms and the Santa Fe Trail. The Artillery Company of New Mexico demonstrated black powder firings of their field cannon.

The Civil War Preservation Trust gives this brief account of the Battle of Glorieta Pass: “Glorieta Pass is commonly referred to as the “Gettysburg of the West.”

It was here that Federal forces were finally able to turn back the Southern invasion of New Mexico. The two small armies commanded by Confederate lieutenant colonel William Scurry and Union Colonel John Slough totaled only about 2,500 troops, but the fighting was critical to the outcome of the war in the West. The battle began with a preliminary encounter at Apache Canyon on March 26. March 28 was the decisive day of the conflict, as Scurry attacked Federals resting and filling canteens near Pigeon’s Ranch. The fighting dragged on throughout the day, as the Confederates gradually forced Slough to retreat eastward. When a detachment of Union infantry burned their supply train, the Rebels were forced to retreat back into Texas.”

An interesting side note: this battle included many soldiers from the First Regiment of Colorado Volunteers, who had marched down from Denver to Fort Union. Of the troops who arrived from Fort Union for this battle, 75% were Colorado Volunteers. The rest were New Mexico Volunteers, most of whom did not speak English. Commands for the troops in the field had to be repeated in Spanish as well as English.

Community Spotlights Tinkertown Museum Re-opens for its 32nd season on April 1, 2015.

Artist Ross Ward spent more than 40 years of his life carving and collecting and creating what is now the Tinkertown Museum. During the 1960’s and 70’s his miniature wood carved figures traveled to fairs and carnivals around the country. Today, more than 55,000 glass bottles form walls around the museum while wagon wheels, metal sculptures and western memorabilia complete the museum’s exterior. It is truly a folk artist’s play ground. Inside an animated miniature western town and three ring circus come to life for the viewer’s delight.

Let’s Eat

Jersey Girl Knows Pizza!

by Leslie B. Karasic

Pizza first started in Italy, Greece, or Iran sometime in 1st century BC. Some say the Romans stole the idea of pizza from the Jews. It is said that Jews put toppings on their matzo, and the sun heated it. Others say Persian soldiers cooked flatbread with toppings on their shields. Nobody knows who officially came up with the idea of placing toppings on dough and naming it pizza. However, it is known that the ancient Greeks had flat bread called plakountos, on which they placed various toppings, and we know also that Naples was founded (as Neopolis) by the Greeks. And Naples is the home of the modern pizza.

Fifteen years ago, I moved from the land of the Sopranos to the land of Enchantment.

Pizza parlors run rampant up and down the Jersey Shore. Luigi’s, Vic’s, Freddie’s, Attillios’ to name a few. When you stop in any of these places, there is a pizza cook dressed in white and sweat. He masterfully twirls the dough acrobatically in the air, and always catches it. I am always amazed that none of the dough ends up on the floor. Jersey pizza has a thin crust and bubbly mozzarella that is stringy and melts in your mouth. In Jersey the pizza to get is sausage, peppers, and mushroom. The spicy sausage, crisp green peppers, and the earthy ‘shroom blend together to make the classic Jersey slice.

I have tried pizza in Santa Fe, and have been extremely disappointed. Pizza in Santa Fe usually tastes like cardboard with melted cheese, tomato sauce, and green chile. I sometimes thought people in New Mexico put green chile on their slices to hide the poor taste of pizza here.

After visiting Pizza Centro, I realize that Jersey taste can be replicated in Santa Fe. Green chile on a slice from Pizza Centro adds a slice of Jersey into Santa Fe. I have tried all three sites, however the El Dorado location invoked my fondest memories of sweaty pizza cooks shoveling pizzas into a brick oven. I ordered a large meatball and pepperoni for my husband, my nephew, and me. This location is mostly take-out with a few tables crowded together. When the pizza arrived, I immediately opened the box wondering if I could finally enjoy pizza in Santa Fe. The cheese was bubbling like back home, and the crust was thinner than most. I grabbed a slice and the cheese was sliding off my slice, just like Attilios’. This was a good sign! I folded my pizza in half, my tongue twirled the cheese, and then I bit into a garlicky tomato sauce loaded with spicy sausage. After my first bite, I posted that Pizza Centro came very close to Vic’s. I always say the best pizza in Jersey is Vic’s, so saying Pizza Centro came close is the highest compliment.

Worth mentioning: at the Southside Pizza Centro you can sit down at nice tables and have a good beer with your pizza. They have Peroni on tap and a local beer from the Santa Fe Brewing Company. All 3 locations have fresh salads, calzones, and slices. Downtown and Southside locations have fresh sandwiches. Gluten-free is available at all locations.

Pizza Centro locations and hours: Downtown: Santa Fe Design Center - 418 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe, NM 11:30 am - 8:30 pm (every day) 505-988-8825 Eldorado: Eldorado Agora Center - 7 Avenida Vista Grande, Santa Fe, NM 11:30 am to 8 pm (wed - sun) 505-466-6200 Santa Fe Southside: 3470 Zafarano Drive, Santa Fe, NM 11:30 am - 8 pm (mon - thurs) 11:30 am - 9 pm (fri - sun) 505-371-6200

SIDE TRIPS Spanish Colonial Villages of the Pecos River Valley along the New Mexico Santa Fe Trail National Scenic Byway.

This trip starts in Pecos, New Mexico, an old village and settlement along the Pecos River in San Miguel County. To reach Pecos, take I-25 North from Santa Fe, exiting at interchange 299, which takes you into the village of Pecos.

Stop in downtown Pecos to pick up a breakfast burrito from Pancho’s Gourmet To Go. This eatery is located in the Shell station. in the southeast corner at the intersection of NM 63 and NM 50. Locals claim the food is “awesome” and should be enough food to last you most of the day. One Pecos local recommended a vegetarian option , “Almost Quelites Burrito”, for breakfast with potatoes added, chile (red, green or Christmas), cheese, and sautéed spinach, beans and onions!

La Risa Cafe on New Mexico 3 in Ribera, NM

After picking up breakfast in Pecos, take NM 63 south to I-25, then north to the Villanueva exit off I-25. Follow NM 3 to Ribera, NM. Ribera is a small village with a general store and La Risa Café (more on them later). Farther south is the reconstructed Old Ribera School, now a Community & Cultural Center.

A few miles down NM 3 is San Miguel del Vado (or Bado) founded in 1794. The large white church was built in 1806 and faces the Santa Fe trail river crossing. A church bell cast in 1861 was brought to San Miguel via the Santa Fe Trail.

The Mexican government set up a Port of Entry in San Miguel and for a few years the toll was $500 per wagon, so empty wagons that had once been filled with supplies for the trip, were burned before this crossing. Eventually the Port of Entry moved upriver to San Jose.

Some old adobe buildings still stand nearby and you can see parts of the Santa Fe Trail.

There are a few more villages on this drive, including Pueblo and Sena, along the Pecos River, with farming fields stretching to the river. The road has many turns, so take it slow as you head toward Villanueva.

Madison Winery is located along the river near Sena, NM. The winery is open for tours by appointment. Call Bill or Elise Madison at 575-421-8028 to schedule a visit.

The next stop along NM 3 is the village of Villanueva . This settlement, originally called La Cuesta, was renamed in 1890 after a prominent local family that settled here. Here you will see a stone church, a general store and many old adobe structures.

Villanueva Community Well - Villanueva, NM

In Villanueva (just past the site of the Villanueva Community Well) take the side road to Villanueva State Park. Here you will find lovely old cottonwood trees along the Pecos River, bounded by high canyon walls. The park features campsites with electricity, shelters, showers in the restrooms. There is a day use area with playground, hiking, picnic tables and more. There is a sign stating the Conquistadors came through the area on three different excursions from 1540 to 1592.

BOOKS Local Publisher Celebrates Third Anniversary With Flurry of Great New Releases Santa Fe-based Terra Nova Books is marking its third anniversary as a full-service independent publishing house with a flurry of intriguing new titles.

• Incarnation deftly intertwines a modern-day scientific thriller and a young girl’s quest in ancient Atlantis, building to an ordeal that can only be escaped through courage and deep karmic understanding.

“Terra Nova’s theory”, said Editor Marty Gerber, is that “the author has done the hard part, and we’ll do the rest.

Our catalog— at TerraNovaBooks. com—also includes memoirs, essays, self-empowerment, and great cuisine.

There are so many books out there that deserve to find the right audience, and we’re thrilled at the chance to help them make that connection.”

• Love and Death in a Perfect World—a novel told with stark honesty, piercing insight, and wry humor—follows the arc of one woman’s life as she struggles to accept herself and a hard reality that cares nothing for her principles and vision.

• In Rites of Death, author Rick Light explores the extraordinary process through which the practices and rituals of Jewish burial tradition offer a profound glimpse across the fine line separating our realms of existence.

The new releases highlight the range of Terra Nova’s catalog from high-quality fiction through photography, poetry, and a moving introduction to the spiritual beauty and power of Jewish funeral traditions.

• In The Scourge, author Keen Butterworth offers a monstrous killer and a vivid murder mystery set among the rugged grandeur of the northern Rockies.

• Fishing the Desert unites the lyrical language of poet Brooks Robards and the unique images of photographer Siegfried Halus in a synergistic celebration of the natural world of the Southwest.

It’s become a virtual Golden Age now for small publishers, Gerber said, since the East Coast “biggies” are afraid to touch a book whose author isn’t already a success, and the theoretical alternative of “self-publishing” demands so much complex knowledge. “Let’s face facts,” he said. “To self-publish your book, you need to be able to handle the editing, layout, cover design, printing, distribution, marketing, ebook conversion, and all the other pieces. How many people can do all that well enough so their book stands out among the 800 published in this country every day? Plus, how many authors want to spend their time doing all that when they could be writing their next book? Not very many—which is what’s created such a great opportunity for experienced publishers like Terra Nova who’ll do all that for you.”

But with so much competition—so many new titles flooding the market—how can any writer make his or her new book stand out?

“Marketing,” Gerber said. “It’s the only way. We tell our authors there are two kinds of books, and only two: those whose authors get behind marketing them one hundred percent and those that nobody reads.

There isn’t a third kind.

“Marketing is really tough,” he said. “The ways to reach people are more diffuse than ever these days. There are articles, interviews, reviews, ads—both in print and on the air. There’s the social media: Facebook, Twitter, blogging, at a minimum. The right answer is ‘all of the above.’ You’ve got to get these working with each other synergistically to make the impressions that send the reader to the bookstore or to buy on Amazon. But fortunately, the experts we work with can really help an author put all these pieces together.”

Art and Artists in The Corridor Artists’ Studio Tours - April and May, 2015

April this year marks the beginning of what we have come to call the “Artists’ Studio Tour Season” in New Mexico.

For more than 30 years the artists’ studio tour has become something of a phenomenon in New Mexico. Nearly every weekend (with a few fallow weeks in June, July and August) from sometime in April to sometime in November, artists will open their doors and invite visitors to visit their studios, discover their artworks and experience the environment in which they work.

Conveniently, all of these studio tours occur on a weekend, and all of them take place between 10 am and 5 pm on each day of the tour. A few of the tours add a Friday evening reception, silent auction, “meet the artist”, etc., and some extend their tours to Monday during 3-day holiday weekends.

To our knowledge the oldest of these tours still taking place is the Dixon Studio Tour, which occurs the first full week of November each year. 2015 marks their 34th year as a studio tour destination. This tour has been in existence for so long that when we mention artists’ studio tours to someone who has been to one or more in the past, we invariably hear them elicit a sense of longing and delight, as if remembering fond memories of a particular late fall visit to experience the artists in situ. All of these tours are a rewarding experience, and none should be missed if one has the time to indulge.

In 2014 we launched our inaugural guide to the “Artists’ Studio Tours of New Mexico” with a full color guide to 18 artists’ studio tours taking place throughout north central New Mexico.

For 2015 we have expanded the guide to 60 pages. The “2015 New Mexico Artists’ Studio Tour Guide” will cover 23 artists’ studio tours which will take place from the last weekend in April through the first full week in November. We now represent studio tours covering nearly the entire central north-south column of New Mexico, from Lincoln County and Silver City in the south to Rio Costilla in the extreme north.

Beginning with this issue of The Corridor we will feature upcoming artists’ studio tours, along with key information about each tour, where they take place and links to learn more.

The New Mexico Artists’ Studio Tour Guide will begin to be available the last week in April. Visitors to each tour will be able to pick up a copy at the headquarters for each tour, where you will also be able to pick up the official publication of each tour, as well as a comprehensive map and other useful information.

The NMAST Guide will also be distributed to visitor centers across New Mexico. In addition to the printed guide we have created an online presence for the “New Mexico Artists’ Studio Tour Guide” at www.nmastguide. com. Here you will find detailed informtion about each of the artists’ studio tours and their artists, including links to artists’ websites, samples of their artwork, etc.

You can also subscribe to this year’s publication online at www.nmastguide.com/nmast-guide-subscription/.
