May, 2017 issue of The Corridor featured the allvolunteer efforts of A Veteran Affair to begin the work of rebuilding a downtown Wagon Mound adobe building whose new purpose would be to house a community center for veteran art and activities.

Founder Rene Rosa has submitted an update on that project:

A Report from Rene Rosa

“To

date one girl and eight boys, ages 8 - 18 and two young adult ages 20 and 22 years have been working on the adobe project. They have braced the shoring, cleared debris, cut and removed elm roots, demo-ed and cleared interior areas, have taken down a 20 foot section of the adobe wall which they are now in the process of rebuilding.

These hard working, respectful,

intelligent youth working together harmoniously while learning the art of adobe restoration are bringing hope to Railroad Avenue in the village. Financial donations supportive of the art center project for veterans are making it possible to pay these kids for their invaluable, indispensable and much appreciated summertime work.”

JULY 2017 Wildfire: Be Prepared

THE SUMMER SEASON IS FIRE SEASON. VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS NEEDED !

Northern New Mexico is prone to wildfires. The Las Conchas fire in 2011 burned more than 150,000 acres in the Santa Fe National Forest threatening the town of Los Alamos. Two years later, the Tres Lagunas fire north of Pecos scorched over 10,000 acres before it was finally extinguished.

Easy steps can lower the risk to your home. Keep pine needles and burnable debris out of the gutters and off patios. Outdoor furniture (including cushions) ignites easily; move it inside or away from your structure if fire is active nearby. If your home is adobe, make sure the stucco reaches beneath the soil line; embers can creep inside the wall otherwise. If you own a well, set up sprinklers on the roof and/or pointed toward your walls to increase the moisture content of your home and its surrounds.

As all New Mexicans are aware, the Summer season is also wildfire season. During the Summer months fire departments are especially challenged in keeping wildfires, brush fires and home fires under control.

On this page we have assembled a comprehensive listing of volunteer fire districts and departments in the Corridor readership area. We encourage you to take note of your local fire district and contact information. Our feature this month looks at how you can get involved as a volunteer with your local fire district and help to make a difference in your community while learning new skills and discovering new insights into your own abilities to overcome adversities.

Santa Fe County Fire Districts 35 Camino Justicia, Santa Fe, NM 87508 505-992-3070 www.santafecountynm.gov/fire The Santa Fe County Fire Department is a combination fire department integrating paid staff and the service of dedicated volunteers.

The Santa Fe County Fire Department is currently supported by more than 340 volunteer members whom are responsible for responding to fire, rescue and EMS emergencies twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days per year.

Many of the homes in our Hondo district are in remote areas hard to access with firefighting equipment. Prepare a personal kit to make a quick exit from your residence in the event you must evacuate.

When evacuating, close all windows and doors; lower blinds and shades to reduce thermal impact indoors; leave a light on to help firefighters locate your residence when smoke reduces visibility. Determine if there alternative exits from your neighborhood in the event that the road you ordinarily use is impassable.

In the event of a fire emergency, check local television and radio for updates. Follow the instructions of emergency responders. Don’t be caught unaware. www.hondovfd.org Santa Fe County: Protecting Your Home From Fire bit.ly/SFCOUNTY National Fire Protection Association Wildfire Safety Tips bit.ly/2s4leQ9 Firewise Wildfire Preparedness bit.ly/2ukZ64y American Red Cross rdcrss.org/2t2RMev Weather Underground Disaster Supply Kit bit.ly/2sjG564

Santa Fe County Fire Districts offer 2 methods of volunteering depending on your circumstances and area of residence.

1) District Volunteers: Generally reside or work within the boundaries of one of our 14 fire districts which allows them to respond from their residence or workplace to the fire station when an emergency call is received. There are no qualifications required to begin participating in this manner and training can be obtained via the Santa Fe County Fire Department Volunteer Academy, once you become a member.

2) Regional Volunteers: This program is for individuals who live outside the boundaries of our districts (within city limits or in another county). These volunteers must attend the Santa Fe County Fire Department Volunteer Fire Academy prior to working in the field as a volunteer. Once the academy is complete, they work 12 hour shifts (7:00am to 7:00pm whenever they wish) along side the paid staff. Visit their website for complete details on these programs: www.santafecountynm.gov/fire/volunteer_fire_districts Santa Fe County Volunteer Fire Districts

And yet, firefighters manage to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Hondo Fire and Rescue serves the Arroyo Hondo and Canada Village areas of Santa Fe County, New Mexico. We are one of 15 fire districts within Santa Fe County. We serve our district out of two stations, one on Seton Village Road and one at the intersection of the Old Las Vegas Highway and US285.

Hondo’s district covers approximately 120 square miles and contains approximately 3000 homes. The population within the district is rapidly growing.

This trend in population growth is followed by an increase in call volume.

For example, in 1994 the department responded to 271 calls while in 2008 the department responded to over 540 calls.

Laurie and I have two

daughters, both on their journeys in the world. We still live in Santa Fe, where the skies are astonishingly blue, the horizons distant and the Milky Way puts on a show every night. I still tramp around with dogs.

We are called upon to perform a wide range of protective services. We are trained and equipped for structure and wildland firefighting, vehicle extrication, swift-water rescue, low and high angle rescue, and emergency medical services. These services might not otherwise be available to our community if we did not volunteer.

Volunteer Category: Firefighter, EMT Requirements: None. All training provided. Previous experience welcomed.

Among

sights we saw were a night heron, a night-blooming cactus, several secretive bunnies, bats and an array of beautiful and aromatic flowers that seemed even more beautiful in the light of an Albuquerque sunset.

El Vado Lake State Park

Santa Rosa Blue Hole - Santa Rosa, NM (Corridor staff photo)

Blue Hole appears in the midst of the desert like a great blue gem.

(Agua Negra Chiquita) Once known as Blue Lake, it is one of seven sister lakes connected underground by a vast system of water. This wonder defines Santa Rosa even as it seems to defy the surrounding red mesas.

Born of a geological phenomenon called the Santa Rosa sink, the place is magic—as water always is in a land of little rain. Nomadic tribes, cowboys driving their dogies cross the Pecos, and Americans going west on the Mother Road, Route 66, all sought respite here. santarosabluehole.com

FARMERS AND GROWERS MARKETS For a Complete Listing of Farmers’ and Growers’ Markets visit TheCorridorNM.com/Summer-Guide

Market Shopping Tips from Farmers’ Markets NM.org bit.ly/FarmMktNM

Shopping at farmers’ markets is different from shopping at the grocery store; you get to know the people growing your food, get cooking tips on unfamiliar foods and can shop around for the best prices. By following a few simple tips, you’ll find it just as easy—and more fun— than shopping in a store.

Don’t bring a list.

Contrary to shopping at the grocery store, you never know what you’ll find at a farmers’ market from week to week. Walk around the market and make your decisions based on what looks good to you and what’s in season. It’s then easy to go home and plan your meals around what you bought.

Shop early for variety.

You’ll find the best selection early in the day, so try to get there when the market first opens.

Or… shop late if you’re looking for a deal.

Arriving at the end of the market day may not offer as much variety, but you may be able to get some good deals. It never hurts to ask a farmer if the price has changed just before the market closes.

Recipe Zucchini and Avocado Salad http://farmersmarketsnm.org/recipes/zucchini-and-avocado-salad/

This recipe is so simple that it will become a regular addition to your summer kitchen (and your local farmers will appreciate you taking advantage of a seasonal staple). It’s surprising that a recipe requiring so few ingredients can taste so delicious and complex. You can have this on the table in 15 minutes, or you can prepare the zucchini ahead of time for an even quicker preparation.

Serves 4 as a salad, 2 as a side Prep time: 15 minutes Ingredients • 4 small- to medium-sized zucchini (or any in-season summer squash) • 1 avocado • 1/2 of a raw purple onion, diced (or 1 spring onion per person) • 1 tbsp olive oil • Salt and pepper to taste • Your salad dressing of choice Directions • Wash the zucchini, onion, and avocado.

• Slice the washed zucchini into rounds about 1/8″ thick. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper.

• Heat the oil in a pan over medium high heat (but don’t let the oil smoke).

• Fry the zucchini on both sides until they develop golden brown spots and set aside to cool. (You can also grill your zucchini, if you like.)

• Chop the onion into 1/4″ pieces.

• Cut your avocado into slices or cubes (it’s your choice).

• Place the cooked zucchini on a serving plate or in a bowl • Top the zucchini with the raw onion and avocado.

• Serve and enjoy!

Every Friday 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm through October 13, 2017

Browse before buying.

Take time to taste and compare the offerings and prices of different vendors.

La Tienda Shopping Center - Eldorado at Santa Fe

COME JOIN THE FUN !

Be eco-friendly.

Bring your own bags and baskets. If you have a long trip home, bring a cooler to keep your goodies cool and fresh.

Operated by Bienvenidos Outreach, Inc.

Ask questions.

See something at the market you don’t recognize? Ask the farmer about it. Unlike most places, many farmers will let you taste before you buy, and they can also give you ideas for cooking and proper storage. There’s no better way to find out about your food than asking the people who grow it directly.

Meat, Cider, Produce, Baked Goods, Dairy, Plants, Eggs, Snacks, Art/Crafts, Music, Weekly Raffle and Much More !

Mention this ad at the Bienvenidos Outreach table and receive a FREE entry for the raffle ! www.eldoradonmfarmersmarket.com

Stock up at the peak of the season.

See tomatoes at nearly every booth at the market? They’re likely at the peak of their season, which means they are going to be full of flavor and offered at a great price. When you get your bounty home, put food away to enjoy all year long by canning or freezing.

Store food to last.

Put all greens (lettuces, chards, etc.) in plastic bags in the fridge. Tomatoes, garlic, potatoes, and onions should always be stored at room temperature. Some hard squashes can last up to months if stored at room temperature in a dark place.

Make it a habit.

Becoming a regular market shopper is a great way to connect with your local community by getting to know local farmers, supporting your local economy, connecting with the local seasons and environment, and meeting with friends and neighbors.

DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS (DUFB) http://www.doubleupnm.org/ Stretch your food dollars with Double Up Food Bucks.

Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your SNAP EBT Card dollars at participating farmers’ markets, farm stands, and grocery stores.

It’s easy with Double Up Food Bucks! For example, if you spend $10 from your SNAP EBT Card at a participating outlet, you’ll get another $10 to buy fresh fruits and vegetables grown in New Mexico. If you spend $25 from your SNAP EBT Card, you’ll get another $25 for fresh New Mexico-grown fruit and vegetables.

JULY 2017 HEALTH AND WELLNESS

7 Ayurvedic Tips to Keep Cool This Summer

by Jillian Lavender via www.mindbodygreen.com

According to Ayurveda, the ancient science of natural health, the core principle to living well is to stay in balance. So when things heat up outside, the key to perfect health is to find ways to cool down – mentally, emotionally and physically. This affects everything we do including what we eat, when we exercise, and how we relax.

In Ayurveda there are three governing agents that are the basis of everything in the universe, known as doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Every aspect of nature is a combination of these three – including the seasons.

Summertime is Pitta season and Pitta affects metabolism, digestion and all heat in the mind, body and environment. When Pitta becomes aggravated and overheated we get out of balance. This affects our emotions (eg anger and impatience), our body (eg sweaty, ruddy, sensitive skin) and our behaviors (eg a drive to perfectionism).

Here are 7 tips to keep you cool: 1. Avoid foods that heat you up When the body is already hot the last thing you need is to rev it up with spicy food. Go easy on the curries, chillis, hot peppers and salsas. Sour foods like yogurt, cheese and sour cream all add too much heat in Pitta season. Also limit excessively salty foods – they will leave you dehydrated and aggravate your skin. Small amounts of ginger, black pepper and cumin are ok but say no to cayenne. Stay away from tomatoes, garlic, onion, beets and spinach when you can.

Alcohol has a heating effect on the body as well.

2. Favor foods that cool you down Sweet, bitter, astringent foods are the ones to go for. Good examples are milk (drink it warm), butter and ghee. Olive, sunflower and coconut oils are great for balancing Pitta. Sweet, ripe fruits like avocados, cherries, plums, grapes, pineapples, peaches and mangoes are perfect. Cilantro and mint are excellent and a little cinnamon is fine. Asparagus, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, zucchini and green beans are all good.

3. Avoid ice cold drinks “What – no ice in my drink?? Isn’t that the ultimate balancer for all the heat?” Actually, no. While we need to keep cool, it is even more important to keep your digestion strong. Your digestive system is like a fire that is responsible for converting food into energy. When the flames of your digestive fire are burning in a balanced way, you are able to assimilate all the good bits you need from your food whilst eliminating the not-so-good bits. However when you drink that iced-water with lunch, you are effectively putting out the flames of your digestive fire. So lay off the ice and go for room temperature.

It will be assimilated into your body much faster and you will feel rehydrated more quickly.

An important part of balancing Pitta and keeping cool is to eat your main meal in the middle of the day when your digestive fire is strongest. Skipping meals is also a sure fire way (excuse the pun) to upset Pitta – notice how cranky you feel when you miss lunch.

5. Exercise with a splash

• Conventional Financing • VA & FHA Financing

If you are working out, do it at the time of the day when nature is most cool. Early morning is best. Second best is early evening. Going for a run in the middle of the day when the sun is at its strongest is going to aggravate Pitta. Light exercise is recommended such as yoga, tai chi, walking and best of all, swimming.

6. Make time to play Balance the intensity of the heat with less intensity in your work.

Build in time for play. When Pitta is out of balance we tend to be driven, demanding, impatient and we overdo it. That in turn creates more imbalance. So ease back and make some time for fun.

7. Turn down the temperature of the mind As is the mind, so is the body.

The most powerful way to settle down the mind is to build in some regular time for meditation each day. However there are many other ways to turn down the dial on that busy, frazzled mind. Listen to some beautiful music, take a walk in nature or practice some conscious breathing to soothe your soul.

Dear Anna . . .

by Anna Soeiro Dear Anna:

Dear Anna:

I’ve recently relocated from the East Coast and am finding it difficult to meet people. I work in an industry that calls for a lot of independent work so I am not meeting people through work. I am not particularly religious so do not have a faith based community and I really don’t like outdoorsy stuff.

Any thoughts?

The kids are out of school and I have a few gaps to fill in between their camps. Though they are old enough to stay home alone I am fearful they will play video games all day or watch movies in their PJ’s all day. Any ideas without spending too much money?

-Dog Daze

Out of Place Dear Out of,

Robert and David of CubaFe Corridor staff photo

David speaks with us at CubaFe while we sample some of their fare.

The food is hot and delicious. The menu is limited, with a few classic Cuban-inspired dishes – 2 plates, 2 sandwiches, 2 sides, 2 desserts and cold drinks.

A sampling of CubaFe fare: Lechon & beans and rice, “Classic” Cuban sandwich, “Cuban” Benedict, Chicharron and dipping sauce, Homemade flan

Dear Daze,

Many

Firstly, welcome to the City Dif-

kids love the feeling of power and sense of control over their environment so take turns giving each kiddo the job of “monitor” and set rules such as: how much screen time is allowed, how many pages of a book they have to read, who needs to complete what chores and the like. The monitor needs to follow the same limits but they also have to check to make sure the other kids are following through. When the monitor completes their day, reward him with extra allowance, one-on-one time or something small but special to said child. Maybe ask other parent friends you have what they are doing and I bet you will realize your not alone. It may be that a friend of yours has taken vacation time and wouldn’t mind your kids joining them at the pool from time to time or maybe you can swap days with another family who may want some kid-free time on the weekend when you are more available. Finally, put them to work! They can either take turns making dinner or do it together, “forcing” them to bond! Give one the job of creating the menu and the others prepare it…get creative! If you have an artistic child, he may love creating a beautiful menu and setting a lovely table. Most importantly, make sure you have a dishwasher and, have fun working as a team to make it a summer to remember!

ferent in the Land of Enchantment! Having said that, Santa Fe is “different” in as many ways as its enchanted. Part of that is due to the transitory nature of Santa Fe. A lot of people seem to think Santa Fe is one thing, and when it’s not, they become frustrated and leave.

There is quite a fiscal discrepancy between the haves and the havenots and middle class living is somewhat small and tight leading numerous people to have to hold down more than one job if they do stay. This also leaves a whole lot of people, without a lot of time to socialize. Having said that, we have so many non-profits, I am sure you can find a volunteer position that will offer you the chance to meet like minded individuals. Also, just because you aren’t religious per se, doesn’t mean you can’t look into services at maybe the Unitarian Universalist Church or Unity Santa Fe that may better suit your needs. The Santa Fe Community College offers short term courses you can take as well as outings like horseback riding and archeology hikes. Take a class in something you are familiar with, that would enhance your current employment or something you may just have always wanted to explore like art, cooking or writing. Give yourself some time and know that this Send us your questions for community is full of possibilities Anna to editor@thecorrijust waiting for you!

“When I was growing up, in any of my relatives’ house(s), the kitchen is where everybody always hung out.”

David talks about the man who is allowing them to use his kitchen and restaurant space to launch their new venture. Restaurant owner Balam, (Edwin) Lemus, is from Guatemala. During the day, Balam’s food cart is on the plaza, where he is very successful. This is why he offered David and Robert the opportunity to use his cafe and kitchen 4 days a week.

“Whenever we talk about CubaFe, I would like to lead with that story, simply because, here you have somebody who has come from another country, who is helping two American citizens out with their dream. I think (Balam) sets a precedent, sets a standard for community, and sets a standard for what we all should be doing; embracing each other, helping each other.

CubaFe announces new hours beginning July 5, 2017: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 11 am to 3 pm and Saturdays 11 am to 5 pm. CubaFe also offers party platters and private catering (7 days a week, 48 hours notice).

David tells us, “We are all about community, no matter where you are from. We are just trying to carry on the standards that (Balam) is providing for the community as well. Standards and consistency are very important to us. We always say that our main ingredient is TLC.”

Truth or Consequences is Molding the Future story by Jefferson LaRouche

By Eric Saltmarsh

As

If you’ve lived in New Mexico (or visited frequently), you probably have heard of Spaceport America, New Mexico’s premier launch platform in southern New Mexico. This has been the site to twelve suborbital rocket launches, and is home to headquarters to the leading space companies, SpaceX and Virgin Galactic.

Images: ARCA Space Industries (stills pulled from promo videos) I’m quite excited that this sort of engineering is still happening right here in New Mexico. This creates yet another opportunity for New Mexico to be the hub of high-tech industries of the future, for which it has been known for nearly a century.

There is another key player in the future of private spaceflight, ARCA Space Industries, who is building the first flight test of a linear aerospike single-stageto-orbit launch vehicle, dubbed Haas 2CA. A linear aerospike engine is a more efficient type of engine that has been ground-tested for decades, and was originally developed for the Lockheed Martin VentureStar program. Due to lack of funding, this engine never has been flight-tested. ARCA will be the first company to use this type of engine for this purpose.

The reason it is more efficient has to do with thrust-to-weight requirements that vary from different levels of the atmosphere.

Because the lower atmosphere is more dense, a more direct propellant stream is required to combat drag, but as the atmosphere thins, the profile is increased in shape for higher efficiency.

If the sky is dark and clear and you wait until the moon sets, you’ll be treated to a stunning view of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Be sure that your eyes are adapted to the dark, so you can make out the finer aspects of our galaxy.

Aerospike at a lower altitude, with more direct thrust to combat air resistance.

The

Milky Way begins at our southern horizon and angles

The jetstream expands at a higher altitude to increase efficiency.

This is advantageous to a typical nozzle, which limits the thrust to the inside of a bell. Because the bell is essentially inverted, that saves on spending and Delta V. The structure of the rocket (and its components) are created in molds of various fiberglass-based composites, making a cheap and effective fabrication process. This kind of modeling has been used for airplanes and rockets for decades.

This allows ARCA to boast inexpensive launches, at $4,545 per pound ( via www.arcaspace. com/en/haas2c.htm).

July opens and we say goodbye to Leo in the west, my favorite part of the sky becomes visible just after dark. The constellation Scorpius, with the bright red star Antares marking the scorpion’s heart, stands upon its tail above the southern horizon. Neighboring Sagittarius, resembling a teapot, is newly risen, to the left of Scorpius’ tail, in the SSE.
