From the Editor

Thank you all for your ongoing support for the past year or so with this project, and thank you to all of you who have supported Streamlynx’s past endeavors (Eldorado Daily, the NM Artists’ Studio Guides, Our friends at the Motorado). We are truly grateful to bring together a lot of unsung talent and community news and view from the areas in New Mexico people only mention every once in a while.

A challenge to The Corridor has been its telecommuting correspondence between me (the designer usually in Albuquerque), my family (in Eldorado), contributors, advertisers, and publishers.

Since I spend the majority of my time in a place where The Corridor has limited distribution, It’s always great to hear about how well The Corridor has been received. Thank you to all who get involved in our publication, from a photograph to an advertisement subscription.

Thanks to the advances in the internet and cloud collaboration, we have developed a system where we can work over telecommute for the majority of the publication. If we need to make any major changes, we can meet up for a few days and figure out how to solve whatever comes our way.

The Corridor is a family affair. From the beginning the LaRouche family has written, designed and published this local, monthly news magazine.

Each family member has specific strengths and jobs. Debbie is the researcher, finding information near and far, in books, magazines and online. Jefferson is the computer wiz. He does all of our graphic design, websites, and layout for the paper. Marc is the Editor in Chief! He leads the way with newspaper and advertising knowledge. Most likely if you have advertised with The Corridor, you have talked with Marc.

Usually the Feedback page has remarks, input and more. This month, photos are what we came up with, so enjoy some summer “around the Corridor”.

“A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.”

Debbie LaRouche Guest-Editor for July

As you know, making these every month is hard, and as a fairly new publication looking to grow, we hope that you can help us by sending in photos and articles (even just a quick thought), and we will gladly find room for it.

Local author tells a tale of history and possible redemption

by Marc-Paul LaRouche

From here our author takes the story North and South, so to speak. Tom opens his book, entitled “West of Penance”, with his protagonist, Clement, joining the French Foreign Legion.

Clement then becomes involved in the Mexican War for Independence, and eventually ends up in a far-flung Catholic parish in New Mexico. In his own way, the once-wayward Clement finds his way to give back and make ammends to the people of his community and to his Church.

Sitting in a pew under the glorious Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Asissi in Santa Fe, New Mexico, local author Thomas Clagett sat hopeful, listening attentively to a sermon by Monsignor Jerome, who spoke this day about an incident that had occurred long ago involving the famed archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy, who had built, with the aid of many, the edifice in which they now sat.

The story that the Monsignor proffered that day was about an incident that had occurred long ago, and it tickled the fancy of our author, who sat attentively and considered the possibilities. The sermon of the day concerned an incident, as related by the Monsignor, in which Archbishop Lamy, in search of funds (as was usually the case) was canvassing his entire archdiocese, priest by priest, to borrow funds in the hopes of completing the construction of the Cathedral in Santa Fe. In this story, he encounters a priest in one of the far-reaching parishes, who explains that his parish is very poor, and has no money, not even to lend.

The priest, eager to help in spite of the poverty of his parish, asks further about the need for funds, asks if the Archbishop has any funds with him currently, then offers to use those funds to create more money (with no explanation as to how this miracle might transpire).in order to help the Archbishop in his quest. In fact, the father heads off to Fort Union, fleecing the entire Army contingent of their available funds (the priest had a previous life of ribaldry, including great success as a gambler), in a game of cards, having used the $30+ that the Archbishop currently carried, as collateral. According to Archbishop Lamy, the priest ultimately brings back $2,000 + to the Archbishop.

The rest, as they say, is history.

It occurs to our intrepid author (as authors will do) that a robbery might have taken place after the priest leaves Fort Union on his way to bring his proceeds to the Monsignor (for the good of the Church, of course).

St. Francis de Assisi Cathedral Basilica Santa Fe, New Mexico - Present Day Photo by Marc-Paul LaRouche

“Glancing out across the open rolling plains Clement saw a rider getting closer. He recognized the man wearing the wide-brimmed padre hat with the short crown and black shirt with the standing white collar around his neck and black trousers. A large gold cross hung at his chest.

It was the bishop. No, he was the Archbishop now. Clement last saw him that past June in Santa Fe when he attended his investiture as archbishop. The whole town had turned out for the ceremony and the festivities had lasted well into the night. And what a celebration it had been.

The cavalry band from Fort Union had played on the plaza and people danced. Hundreds of farolitos illuminated the town and fireworks lit up the sky. The rider raised his hand. Clement returned the greeting and wondered what had brought the Archbishop all the way out here.

The annual tithes had been collected that past Summer. And the Archbishop surely hadn’t left Santa Fe to ride over two hundred miles to Penquero for a social visit.”

“West of Penance” by Tom Clagett Excerpted from Chapter 7

www.thecorridornm.com

The result is a fast-paced story of truth and possibilities. Tom’s writing is first-rate and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. You can buy “West of Penance” at https://www.amazon. com/West-Penance-Thomas-DClagett/dp/1432831410 or local bookstores, including the Cathedral Basilica bookstore and Opcit Books. http://www.opcit.com/ Tom Clagett is not yet a household name, yet I believe everyone with an interest in Southwest history, specifically in the area that we reach with The Corridor, will enjoy “West of Penance” by Tom Clagett. With other titles to his credit, including 2 large tomes detailing the works of filmmaker William Friedkin (“The Exorcist”, “The French Connection”), Tom Clagett is a fine writer and storyteller worthy of attention by anyone who enjoys good historical fiction. This book is compelling, easy to read and presents a true-to-life story about our West.

The Santa Fe Bandstand 2015

Santa Fe Bandstand www.santafebandstand.org Santa Fe Plaza July 5 - August 26, 2016 Celebrate the sounds of Santa Fe with nightly outdoor performances at the historic downtown Plaza and also on Santa Fe’s growing southside in the San Isidro Plaza. 75 concerts are scheduled throughout the summer from jazz to mariachi to blues and rock. Check the Santa Fe Bandstand website for specific dates and venues. For programing details, please visit their website at www.santafebandstand.org.

In an effort to keep things fresh, 44% of this year’s schedule is built with new acts, bands that have never been part of our concert series. And in a nod to the fast growing “locally sourced” movement, 83% of our lineup is comprised of New Mexico-based bands. This year’s Grammy Award-winning acts include Zydeco master Terrance Simien on July 12th, Bluegrass legend Tim O’Brien on July 27th with a twin-bill of Grammy winners with Larry Mitchell and Robert Mirabal on August 16th.

Other season highlights include Mali’s Mamadou Kelly, presented in conjunction with the International Folk Art Market’s opening night Artist’s Procession, Polyrhythmics, an 8-piece Fela Kuti-style Afrobeat dance band from Seattle, The Sheepdogs – the first unsigned rock band to ever grace the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine and a special “top secret” night of programming from our friends at Meow Wolf.

We’re also very pleased to be bringing Bandstand programming back to the Southside with a series of four special Saturday night shows. These events will be held at San Isidro Plaza in the courtyard directly in front of Plaza Cafe Southside, across from the Regal Cinema. A great opportunity to enjoy a cocktail, have dinner and dance the night away.

The Board of Directors of the Vista Grande Public Library (VGPL) will match all financial donations toward the 2016 Annual Appeal up to $1,600 during the week of July 11-15. .

Happy Summer! It is official. We are in the throes of the growing months and I am waiting, as we all are, for the monsoons to start. Our water tanks are slowly emptying and we are using more system water. We collect roof rainwater and snowmelt year round in above ground tanks that vary in size from 500 gallons to 2,500 gallons. We have a total of four above ground roof collection tanks, at the moment, plus several water barrels. It is remarkable how much water can be collected in even a small rainstorm or snowfall.

COMMUNITY NEWS, VIEWS, AND MORE ACTIVE CORRIDOR: Hiking Trails HEALTH AND WELLNESS Rio Grande del Norte National Monument is one of our newest monuments and a wonderful place for recreation year round. Check it out!! http:// on.doi.gov/29cu5F7 The Río Grande del Norte National Monument is comprised of rugged, wide open plains at an average elevation of 7,000 feet, dotted by volcanic cones, and cut by steep canyons with rivers tucked away in their depths. The Río Grande carves an 800 foot deep gorge through layers of volcanic basalt flows and ash. Among the volcanic cones in the Monument, Ute Mountain is the highest, reaching to 10,093 feet.

This area has attracted human activity since prehistoric times. Evidence of ancient use is found throughout the area in the form of petroglyphs, prehistoric dwelling sites, and many other types of archaeological sites. More recent activity includes abandoned homesteading from the 1930s.

The Monument is an important area for wintering animals, and provides a corridor by which wildlife move between the two mountain ranges.

The unique setting of the Monument also provides a wealth of recreational opportunities.

Whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and camping are some of the more outstanding activities that can be enjoyed in the Monument.

Music venues accompanied the show at various locations like the Railyard Park and Meow Wolf­a likely ally in new art experiences for all ages. Focusing on new technology welded with traditional mediums, Currents brilliance shined due to its free admission while providing a lasting commodity of rich, varied and provocative images set to tones, music and static that awaken, sometimes confuse and challenge belief in what art is. Largely a reflection of current values and thought, art mirrors society, which by and large relies on technology to inform, entertain and mold our mores and Currents played beautiful to that tune.

A wrapped gift box collects data as participant held it and the heartbeats, reflecting emotion are stored as “gifts”. When a new participant holds the gift box, one feels the heartbeat vibrate in the box when your data is in sync with theirs. This information is displayed on a large screen and you can easily see when your information overlaps with someone else's. This exchange of data represents the gifts of emotion we do or do not express to others. How “in sync” are we with one another? Truly, a gift to ponder.

Dana Patterson Roth has been a photographer for 40 years. With the images in this show, she is exploring the ability of a photograph to capture the intangible, the dream world, the distant memory or that moment just before sleep when we are floating between worlds, not really sure of what is real or what is unreal. All the images in this showing of her work were created ‘in-camera’ and printed on aluminum.

Joan Fenicle has been traveling the caminos and callejones of New Mexico and Colorado for over 40 years, capturing vistas and villages in paintings and photographs. The images of her work in this exhibit are a departure from representation of the real world into a dream-like world inhabited by raptors, bears, cougars, ravens and strange beings who are reminiscent of the imaginary friends of an only child growing up in the Rocky Mountains.

Marie Maher is a master “layerist” whose works sometimes contain more than a dozen images, woven together to tell a story or interpret a dream. She has won awards too numerous to list here, and her work has been included in solo and group exhibitions including the Jadite Gallery in New York City and the upcoming Biennial of Fine Art and Documentary Photography in Berlin, Germany.

As a matter of fact, it is rocket science.

By the time you read this, the Fourth of July would have already occured this year.

After the pancake breakfast and parades, many of you may have watched one of the many firework celebrations.

You (or the younger ones) would have been in awe of all the controlled explosions that, coupled with a cookout, make a great family outing.

tional pull) of force required to burn into orbit. The motors were made of heavy-duty components that were made to last re-entry and be refilled and used for later missions.

Fireworks are instead shot up in a cannon to reach the desired altitude, and then explode to create patterns of light. The materials are largely paper, gunpowder, and chemicals that react upon combustion emitting the colors of light we see.

Technically, fireworks are the oldest rockets of human creation. While they don’t operate in the same way as the ones SpaceX makes, they are similar in composition to solid rocket motors.

Here’s a diagram of a firework (the part that is in the mortar) based on one I found from www.theverge.com.

The flame from the fuse in tbe bottom slowly follows up the firework itself (the white cylinder) after being shot up by the mortar (red cylinder)

The Solid Rocket Motors that flew on the Shuttle’s Boosters were made of ignitors and a large amount of propellant that provided the 1 - 2 G’s (factors of earth’s gravitaFollow me on twitter for the latest news on The Corridor, this page, and some of the things I’m up to.

SEPARATOR

MORTAR

The firework (White cylinder) is attached to a long fuse which is ignited, lasting until it slows down after the mortar shoots it into the air. A layer of gunpowder is then ignited that takes the firework to the desired altitude, and a shorter fuse is lit inside the firework (blue line), which ignites a ball of gunpowder that sends explosives in nearly equidistant directions.

Park Lake WIBIT installation in Santa Rosa Corridor staff photo by Debbie LaRouche

Park Lake is at the center of the Park Lake Historic District in Santa Rosa NM. It was built during the Depression by the WPA. Weekends at the swimming lake include a slide, paddleboats, and WIBIT inflatable play structures with a $10 per person fee and $5 parking pass. There are lifeguards on duty during operating hours, 10am to 6 pm.

The park is open weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Many people set up shade structures, tables, bbq grills and more and spend the day! Playing in the water does not require a fee.

“Blue Hole” in Santa Rosa - Corridor staff photo by Debbie LaRouche

Nearby is The Blue Hole, a natural artesian spring that is used for swimming and diving. At our last visit, young adults were jumping into the deep, swimming hole from the rocks up above. It is $5 to park near this water feature as well (the fee is good at Park Lake next door).

Next to The Blue Hole is the Santa Rosa Dive Center and Blue Hole Conference Center with restrooms, showers, food/drinks and training as well as the required diving permits. http://santarosabluehole.com/index.html Blue Hole is a geological phenomenon consisting of a large water filled sink hole which is a natural spring fed lake with an outflow of 3,000 gallons a minute.

Blue Hole is one of 7 such sinkhole lakes fed by an underground water supply that is no doubt connected through water-filled caverns underneath. Other lakes in the area include Hidden Lake, Twin Lakes, Perch Lake, Bass Lake, Post Lake or Swan Lake, and Rock Lake.

Motorado 2016 Bit by Marc LaRouche

OFFICIAL EVENT PUBLICATION OF THE MOTORADO MOTORCYCLE CLUB

Sunday, June 19, 2016 - 10 am to 3 pm

Five years in the making, the 2016 Motorado Classic Motorcycle Show was a great success. The Motorado once again proved that there is a real interest in our community for bringing a first-rate motorcycle event to the Santa Fe area. With over 100 vintage motorcycles on exhibit, over 1,500 spectators attended this one-day spectacle, on arguably the hottest day of the year, (one day behind the beginning of Summer), on June 19, 2016. Highlights of the day incuded several demonstrations by the New Mexico State Police on BMW motorcycles in intricate displays of their prowess as precision riders, as well as some “bad boys” showing off their stuff with wheelies, stoppies and other tricks in front of the crowds lined up on the grounds of La Tienda, the host site for this annual event.

Produced by the Motorado Motorcycle Club, this non-profit event gives its net proceeds to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society.

St James Hotel & Restaurant - Cimarron, NM http://www.exstjames.com/ Bite by Anna Soeiro If you are up for an adventure, take some time this summer to travel back to the 1800’s and taste the Wild West and a yum-

my menu at the St. James Hotel and Restaurant located at 617 S Collison Avenue in Cimarron. I had seen pictures and watched some TV shows featuring the St. James so I almost didn’t recognize the saloon’s interior because the blond wood made the infamous saloon appear new and virginal.

I wished I could have seen the dark, warn wooden tables and flooring that must have held so many stories, though was relieved the massive bar and beautiful large mirror still adorn this historic room. As my daughter and I dined in the antique saloon under a pressed tin ceiling riddled with bullet holes I couldn’t help but feel the history.

Some 26 or so murders were committed on site via the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody and Jesse James.

The Hotel was originally called the Lambert Inn after builder and chef, Henri Lambert. Once chef to President Lincoln, Lambert was successful running the restaurant while offering a relaxed atmosphere for occassional shoot-ups.

He added the hotel rooms in 1880, which were frequented by many outlaws and other Wild West characters. Jesse James is said to have preferred preferred room 14 and room 18 is rumored to be haunted by card player T. James Wright who may still be there, as that room is not rented out to guests.

As a nacho aficionado I was pleased with my serving and happy the hot melted cheese touched the second layer of chips. The chicken was moist and tasty. My daughter loved her 3 soft shell tacos and easily finished all of them with the St. James’ perfectly prepared salsa. American favorites such as hamburgers, salads and sandwiches as well as New Mexican specialties are sure to satiate the weariest of travelers.

I look forward to staying the night at a later date and enjoying their grilled salmon or fried cod . . . .and maybe toasting a spook or two in the saloon.

Ranch, La Choza’s warm, friendly atmosphere, authentic dishes, great margaritas, and colorful decor welcomes those needing to get their chile fix. If your taste buds aren’t up to the heat, there are plenty of other scrumptious dishes to entice you. La Choza is truly Santa Fe dining that reflects the heritage of past & present. La Choza is the sister restaurant to another locals’ favorite, The Shed.

During a recent visit with a group of colleagues I enjoyed the Adovada Chicken Enchilada Plate with Christmas (red and green chile).

These enchiladas are the best I’ve had in Santa Fe! La Choza serves their enchiladas as flat, layered blue corn tortillas with your choice of cheese, chicken, ground beef, adovada chicken or adovada pork, with sides of posole with pork. You can also ask for vegetarian posole and pinto beans in place of the pork.

Our large group sat on the covered patio. La Choza has a wonderful atmosphere, excellent service and hot food (both temperature and spiciness). They offer many local beers on tap as well as some yummy looking prickly pear margaritas.
