President’s Message
By Judith Newby
Ginger Foote
Hard to believe summer is almost over. But at least
we can look forward to the gorgeous fall colors of the
cottonwoods and aspens. MainStreet kicked off the
summer with its annual meeting. Held at the Corrales
Senior Center, it gave the attendees a chance to
learn what we accomplished last year and our plans
for the coming year. Our new board was elected for
Judith Newby, President
the coming year. Board Members are Grif Newcomb,
Corrales MainStreet
Allan Tinkham, Suanne Derr, Karen Delle Site,
Dee Turner, Jim Kruger and myself. Our Executive
Director is Jim Covell and Sandy Rasmussen is our Assoc. Executive Director.
And thank you to Barbara Clark who left the board this year. She served as
our Secretary over the past year. Her enthusiasm and wit will be missed!
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the 4th of July. I believe the
parade, sponsored by Corrales MainStreet and the Village of Corrales, it is the
best small town parade in the USA. A big thank you to Grif Newcomb and all
his helpers, which made the parade such a hit! I was fortunate to march close

cars, horses, organizations and individual participants who make this parade a
true example of the best of small town America.

opportunity to meet the MainStreet board, hear from one of our great state
MainStreet individuals and learn about what MainStreet has done and is doing
for the community. It was very well attended and we are planning to make this
an annual event.
Fall and winter bring a number of annual events. Starry Night will be held on
September 7th. It was a great event last year and the live auction with Mayor
Tom Swisstack as guest auctioneer was enjoyed by all.
Our annual Scarecrow Festival begins on September 23th, just in time for
Harvest Festival and the Balloon Fiesta. As you can see by the inside cover
of this paper, we had many wonderful scarecrows last year and we encourage
you all to be just as creative this year. Judging of the scarecrows by a panel
of local citizens will take place on September 25th so be sure to have your
scarecrow up by then. And as last year, there will be prizes for the 1st and 2nd
place scarecrow.
And speaking of Harvest Festival, Corrales MainStreet will once again be
hosting the Wine Fair. This is a great opportunity for you to try out the latest
wines from our local wineries. Be sure to stop by the Wine Fair at the Harvest
Festival.
MainStreet will be sponsoring the Starlight Parade in December. It’s not too
early to start thinking about how to decorate your car, truck or tractor! We will
also be launching a Shop Corrales campaign during the holiday Season.
I am very excited to announce a photo spread in our next Corrales MainStreet
News dedicated to rescued dogs. We all know Corrales is the Horse Capital
of New Mexico. I suspect it is right up there when it comes to rescued dogs! If
you have rescued a dog and would like to share a picture of your four legged
“family member” email a picture of your pet with his/her name, breed if known
and the name of the rescue organization. Don’t have a picture of your pet but
want to be included? Our photographer, Ginger Foote, has graciously agreed
to photograph your pet for you. Send an email to [email protected] and
in the body of the email gives us you name, phone number and best time to
contact you. All pictures must be submitted by October 25th.
Have a Great Fall!

A Potter With Unlikely Skills
by Jean Waszak
Rick Snow in his studio.
Rick Snow is an artist who seeks
challenges and meets them with an
unlikely set of skills. He came from a
family of exceptional artists, including an
aunt whose watercolors were featured
in the National Gallery. In addition, Rick
says, “I grew up as an Army Brat. We
lived all over the world and the concept
of having a home town is foreign to me.”
Nevertheless, he has settled in
Corrales where his pottery studio, his
vineyard, his view of the mountains, and
his landscaped acreage now inspire his
life and work. Rick’s undergraduate
degree from Virginia Military Institute is
in organic chemistry, he has an M.B.A.
in Management from Boston College,
and he spent 20 years in the U.S. Army
where he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel
assigned to the Pentagon.
Perhaps the most surprising fact
about this artist is that his career was
all about explosives. “I was good at
ballistics and gunnery,” he says, “and
I got noticed. I spent the last half of
my army career doing research and
GHYHORSPHQW¿HOGLQJPLVVLOHDQGURFNHW
systems. I like things that go boom.”
After twenty years in the Army,

got bored, so he went back to work
in the defense industry. He worked

which he spent living on the water in the
Florida Panhandle playing golf,
sailing boats and doing a bit of
consulting came after his work
with this company.
Six months into his second
retirement, he was bored
again. His wife, Mary Anne,
was working, all the “honeydos” were under control,
the crossword puzzles were
done, and he thought he’d try
something creative. He signed
up for a ceramics class at the
local Community College.
For three semesters he took
all the ceramics courses the
college offered, and when

KHZDV¿QLVKHGWKHFROOHJH
asked him to be a teaching
assistant. The opportunity
to work in a well-equipped
studio for free was an offer he
couldn’t refuse. The teaching
assistant position afforded him
the opportunity to get a lot of
practice and hone his skills as
a potter.
Meanwhile, a corporate
recruiter had been chasing
him for two years, and the

Albuquerque for an interview.
Rick landed the job and stayed
to begin work the next Monday.
Mary Anne returned to Florida
to sell their home. It wasn’t long
until the two of them had settled
into a Corrales adobe. Rick was
spending his free time battling
sand sage and goat heads, and
building a vineyard and pottery
studio where he can still be found
during his off-hours.
Rick worked at the corporate
job for ten years running an
explosive research group where
he developed products for
government installations. He ran
Ft. Wingate which was an old army
depot founded in 1850 where they
made munitions until the 1970’s.
Rick and his team demilitarized the Ft. Wingate weapons, which means they took
WKHPDSDUWDQGHLWKHUODQG¿OOHGWKHSDUWVRUPDGHQHZSURGXFWVWRVHOO$PRQJRWKHU
things, they made blasting propellants for coal miners. During this time Rick was wellNQRZQWRWKHH[SORVLYHVQLI¿QJ

on the off-chance that his shoes
or clothing still carry residue
of explosive dust, he carries
FUHGHQWLDOVWKDWDOORZKLPWRÀ\
When Ft. Wingate closed,
Rick traded explosive dust for
clay dust and he began his third
retirement. For the past six years
he has led the Corrales Society
of Artists and the New Mexico Art
Market. The Society sponsors
Art in the Park, the Winter Show,
and the Corrales Art Studio
Tour. Rick says, “We represent
a growing movement among local
artists to make Corrales an art
Carved Bowl
destination.”
He enjoys the camaraderie of other artists and the philosophical banter of discussing
what constitutes art and what constitutes craft. He believes his pottery can be either.
“If you can teach someone to do it, then it’s craft,” he says. “But if they take it beyond
what you teach them to a higher level, then it’s art. The piece of work has to stand apart
from who the artist is or how it was made. It
has to speak to the viewer in some way and
stand on its own in order to be art. That’s
P\ZRUNLQJGH¿QLWLRQ´5LFNVD\V
As for the evolution of Rick’s pottery, he
began by throwing pots on a wheel, and
then moved to more challenging projects
such as double-walled pots, carved vessels,
woven ceramic baskets and masks. Each
item requires several experiments and
prototypes to determine exactly what it
takes to make a successful piece. Some
factors include how thick to make the walls,
how long to dry the clay before removing
it from the wooden forms, how to reduce

basket joints so they’ll hold, and, of course,
he must consider the many issues of which
glazes to use, and how to manage the

Chocolate Turtle Bed & Breakfast
Corrales Bosque Gallery Celebrates
It’s 19th Anniversary
The past 9 years as owners of the Chocolate Turtle have been a joy and a blast for the
'DOODV1DQF\5HQQHU,Q$XJXVWRIWKH\ZHOFRPHGWKHLU¿UVWJXHVWVWRWKH%%
on Meadowlark Lane and at the end of August 2013, the new owners, Denise Stramel
and Keith Buderus, started welcoming their guests.
In celebration of the 19th Anniversary of it’s founding in 1994 the
Corrales Bosque Gallery announces a new show highlighting the
diversity of its 20+ members, including original founders and our two
newest members, metal artist, Gail Gering and painter, Lloyd Brown.
This new show will run through November 5, 2013.
The Annual Holiday Show will open with a reception on November 8
from 5-8 pm.
This show will focus on fabulous gift items in all price ranges, including
unique, handmade ornaments from the gallery artists.
The Corrales Bosque Gallery is located at 4685 Corrales Rd. in the
heart of Corrales with visitors greeted by its knowledgeable artist
members. Gallery hours are10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 7 days a week.
It is with very mixed emotions that the Renners are leaving the Turtle, but it is time for
them to really retire (running a B&B as a business is NOT a retirement job) and start
spending more time with their grandchildren, playing golf, riding bikes and traveling.
Contrary to popular rumors, they are remaining in Corrales. They will rent a home in
Pueblo Las Cerros and plan to split time between NM & SC where their daughter Amy
and her family are stationed.
Dallas and Nancy would like to thank the community for their referrals and support.
It was a privilege to host visiting friends and families. They encourage everyone to
continue to support all the B&Bs in the Village. As an Economic Development resource

nearly 20 years and bring an array of skills to the Turtle and the Village. They plan

Super Storm Corrales
By Phil Gasteyer, Mayor
Mayor Gasteyer
The evening of Friday, July 26 will long be remembered in Corrales.
A brief storm of extraordinary intensity brought an end to 2013’s
debilitating drought and then some. Rain gauges recorded amounts of
1.6 to 3.1 inches in a half hour or less. Winds of close to 90 mph were
recorded. And hail pelted windows and clogged culverts and gutters.
From my perspective as Mayor, the public and private response
was just as extraordinary. Most of the Village was without power as
nightfall came, a situation which lasted up to 20 hours in some areas.
The Main Fire Station, with its backup generator, was up and
running immediately as an Incident Command Center. Chief Anthony

Bernalillo with pumping operations from a breached MRGCD canal

waters rushed down Loma del Oro. Public Works employees responded and the

be sure emergency responders could reach all homes.
In the morning our Parks & Rec guys announced the pool would be closed and
pitched in with the initial efforts to make roads and driveways passable.
Sand and silt rushing down West Ella and Western Mesa created problems along
Loma Larga. One of the early priorities was to relieve the situation at the Southern
Sandoval County Arroyo and Flood Control Authority’s large retention ponds. They

Our sister communities and agencies called with immediate offers of help. Rio
Rancho Fire supplied a fuel truck to save refueling time for heavy equipment.
Sandoval County lent graders and dump trucks. The Albuquerque Metropolitan
Arroyo and Flood Control Authority sent heavy equipment and crews. SSCAFCA
immediately addressed the problems with its ponds and drains with contractors and
equipment.
Particularly impressive was evidence throughout the community of
neighbors helping neighbors, particularly where elderly or disabled residents were

Convention of New Mexico and Corraleno Ron Reder mobilized workers to help on
private properties.
The Governing Body convened a Special Meeting on August 6 and passed
a resolution declaring an emergency/disaster and authorizing the Mayor to apply for
and accept aid under State law. As the monsoonal storms accumulated statewide,
Governor Martinez had issued an Executive Order to create eligibility for emergency
appropriations to assist communities. These funds, if available, will be on a 75%-25%
matching basis – but the local matching share can come, at least in part, from “in
kind” services, such as those provided by volunteers.
Fire Commander Tanya Lattin, Village Administrator John Avila, Public
Works Director Tony Tafoya, and PZA Cyndie Tidwell have done an extraordinary job
with their staffs to document the event and its aftermath. The situation reports show
80 structures damaged (10 major) with 3 miles of paved and 5 miles of gravel public
road needing replacement.
At this writing it is too soon to accurately assess public costs and what
will be eligible for reimbursement from State and federal homeland security and
emergency management funds.
We also have the challenge of making the improvements necessary to
protect our community if, heaven forbid, a storm like this ever occurs again.
Following events such as Super Storm Corrales, the Village government
often receives inquiries about liability for runoff from public roads, bar ditches, ponds,
and other drainage structures.
Each situation will be different and a lawyer should be consulted if a property
owner feels there is a claim against the Village.
In very general terms, governments are not guarantors against property
damage and can only be liable if they were negligent and the negligence falls within
one of the waivers of immunity contained in the New Mexico Tort Claims Act.
When a community has followed proper procedures in constructing facilities, such as
standard engineering practices, it may not be considered negligent. The Village for
many years has retained a Professional Engineer for public works. Engineers typically

As to the Tort Claims Act, so-called sovereign immunity extends to “damages
arising out of the operation or maintenance of works used for diversion or storage of
water”.
The Village pays premiums to a Municipal Self-Insurers Fund. Indeed, this
premium is one of the biggest expenses in Corrales’ annual budget. The SIF handles

contamination in your private well. If your well head was under standing water, this
could also have caused contamination.
Citizens of the Village who suspect their private wells have been contaminated
should boil any water that could potentially enter their bodies (drinking, cooking,
brushing teeth). Private wells need to be tested by a private lab or the New Mexico
Environment Department. Procedures must be followed for proper decontamination or
complete replacement of a well.
If you have any questions regarding this notice you may contact the New Mexico
Environment Department at 1-877-654-8720.”
Grading and Drainage Permits
The Village has a comprehensive Terrains and Storm Water Management
ordinance which applies to lands located west of the Corrales Main Canal. Grading
and drainage plans are required to prevent drainage problems which increase
hazards to neighboring properties.
While it is understandable that homeowners want to get back to “normal” as quickly
as possible, it’s important to know that all grading and drainage work in the western
half of Corrales needs to have a permit from the Planning & Zoning Department.
If a home was built between 2007 and 2013, it should have an approved
G&D plan for construction and owners can restore property damaged by the July 2627 storm to that approved plan. There is no additional permit fee for such work.

moving or other drainage improvements are involved, a homeowner should hire a
New Mexico-licensed Professional Engineer to prepare one. The P.E. will follow the
regulations set forth in Article V of Chapter 18 of the Village Code and seal and sign

Mayor Gasteyer is asking residents to verify Construction Service Providers use
Corrales tax number, Locator No. 29-504, to report Gross Receipts Taxes
Construction Services Providers:
Report GRT for This Job Correctly
The Gross Receipts Tax Rate
for Corrales is 7.1875%

If you get a construction service in Corrales – let’s say a roof repair, or an
electrician installs a 220 line, or the pump for your well is replaced – the roofer,
electrician, or plumber should report Locator No. 29-504 when they forward the
GRT collected to Santa Fe.
The next time you get some construction services at your property, tell the
workers to have their oƥce reportǣ Corrales, Locator No. 29-504.

evolved from the open range and ranch employees who worked and rode after
cattle during the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. These include songs
written by ranch hands about horses, cattle and lost love. Others add death
and the devil to the story. But all have in common the expression of what ranch
and farm work was like during this time. Steve performs these and songs he

From the Horse’s Mouth…
Elektra, the Pet Mayor of Corrales
writes her article with the assistance of her owner, Kathryn Sikorski
Summer is winding down and fall is approaching. This is a very exciting time for
PHDVWKHUHDUHVHYHUDORI¿FLDOGXWLHVIRUWKH3HW0D\RUGXULQJ+DUYHVW)HVWLYDO
• Pet Parade on Saturday morning September 28th
• Celebration of the Horse on Saturday September 28 from 10:00 – 4:30
• Election of the new Pet Mayor
The Pet Parade will be bittersweet as it will be the last parade that I lead wearing
P\RI¿FLDO3HW0D\RUULEERQ,WLVDOZD\VDIXQHYHQWIRUWKHSDUWLFLSDQWVDQG
spectators. It is unbelievable the imagination some folks have when it comes to
dressing themselves and their pets. I encourage all of you horses to bring your
owners and come celebrate the opening of Harvest Festival.
Planning has begun for a Corrales based regional antique tractor
VKRZLQWKHIDOORI7KH&RUUDOHV7UDFWRU&OXELVDI¿OLDWHGZLWK
the Early Days Gas Engine and Tractor Association (EDGETA),
a national organization that seeks to preserve and promote early
American agricultural equipment. Every other year, four tractor clubs
are nominated to host an EDGETA regional event. The Corrales
Tractor Club, which was formed in 2005, has been nominated
to host the 2015 EDGETA Regional Show. The event will be
organized and run by the club, which consists primarily of local
volunteers from Corrales and the surrounding areas. If you are
interested in participating in the planning of the event, or would like
more information about the Corrales Tractor Club, contact Glenn
Shoenbach at [email protected] or 898-1020.
Once the parade is over you can trot over to the arena to be part of the Celebration
of the Horse. This is a one day event that I will be presiding over as Corrales’
Head Horse. It is a new addition to Harvest Festival so visitors will be able to
experience the horses of the Horse Capital of New Mexico. The Celebration will
have something for every horse, horse owner, horse lover, and interested spectator
who stops by. It will include demonstrations in the arena including me showing how
to navigate trail obstacles, vaulters, driving, starting young horses, and experts at
various disciplines. There will be tables and booths with information from horse
rescues, horse trainers, farriers, packers, everything to do with horses. There
will be horses available for those who just want to pet a horse; my affections can
always be bought so bring plenty of treats.
The election for the new Pet Mayor will end at 5:00 PM on September 28th and the
new Pet Mayor announced on September 29th. Please plan on voting for a new
horse for the horse capital (or candidate of your preference) during the month of
September. Like the Harvest Festival, the Pet Mayor Election is a fund raiser by
the Kiwanis Club of Corrales. The “votes” are tax deductible and are re-invested

WKH&KULVWPDVGH&DEDOORV3DUDGHRQ1RYHPEHUWK7KLVDQQXDOHYHQWEHQH¿WV
the Marines Toys for Tots program, so plan on bringing an unwrapped toy. This
parade is an all equine event that has included a stage coach with Santa, a wagon
with veteran heroes, countless other carriages and carts, and up to 600 riders in
all types of dress and costume. This year I will be supervising the other horses as
a marshal keeping order versus leading the parade as I did last year. Be sure to
mark your calendar to participate: with your equine partner, as a volunteer, or as a
spectator.
It has been my honor serving Corrales, The Horse Capital of New Mexico, as
the Pet Mayor. I wish the best to my successor. I hope to see you all at Harvest
Festival and out on the trails.
May the Horse Be With You.

Presenting the CHS Speaker Series 2013-2014 Season
By Nancy Kimball, Speaker Series Chairperson
The Corrales Historical Society Speaker Series began in 1996 with
periodic speakers as a way for the Society to thank its membership
and the village of Corrales for their support. It has since grown to
monthly programs from September to May. As the new chair of the
Speaker Series, I have taken on the responsibility of scheduling
speakers who will inform, educate and entertain our members
DQGDQ\RQHHOVHZKR¿QGVRXUWRSLFVRILQWHUHVW,KRSHWKDWRXU
program will attract students, families, and people of all ages. This
year’s speakers offer talks on The Lipan Apaches (September), the
Spanish Sons of the American Revolution (March), and the AfricanAmerican Legacy in New Mexico (February). We will be treated to
Cowboy songs and stories (October), and two programs on food:
Matanzas (November) and the culinary history of the Rio Grande Valley (May).
Our season will be completed with two compatible programs – Governor Clyde
Tingley and the New Deal (January), and the Civilian Conservation Corp in
New Mexico (April).
My initial goal in scheduling the speakers
for this year was to present a wide range of
interests, cultures and time periods in New
Mexico for our audience to choose from.
In speaking with each of the presenters, I
found such enthusiasm and dedication to
their topics, that I feel every program will be
a treat.
All CHS Speaker Series programs are at
the Historic Old San Ysidro Church, located

Admission to the Harvest Festival gains you admission to all the horse events and a chance
to learn what we do with horses and what it takes to join us for the fun and satisfaction the
outside of a horse can bring to the inside of a human.
What might you experience on that day? How about horse packing, driving, grooming,
ground play, jumping, saddle savvy, trail obstacles, vaulting, precision riding, dressage,
blacksmithing, horseshoeing, horse ownership, horse rescue, mustang makeovers,
therapeutic riding, veterinary medicine and much more.
The Sandoval and Bernalillo County 4-H will be at Village Mercantile as in the past with pony
rides. Everyone who wants to touch a horse will have that opportunity.
Village Mercantile and Top Form arena will be regular stops for all Tractor Hay wagons and
you will want to come and go throughout the day.
So join the Pet Mayor of Corrales, Elektra, for a fun day for the whole family and perhaps a
day that will change your life if a horse follows you home!

I’m taking a simple poll. All of you who haven’t heard about the Corrales Future
Fund, please raise your hands. That’s what I thought – there are lots of you who
have been busy with other things and haven’t heard about this really important way
of supporting our Village. That’s why I’ve written this article, to let you know your
neighbors and friends need you to join them in helping Corrales.
An endowment is a wonderful tool for managing money for organizations large or small. The
endowment’s pool of dollars is invested, and only some of the interest is spent for purposes
determined by the group that created it. This ensures that the pool keeps growing, and so
it becomes a perpetual funding mechanism. Perfect – something not tied to tax revenues,
something not tied to the availability of funding from the state, something we create and
administer for the good of our community.
Those of us not fortunate enough to be born here also love the feeling and look of
the Village, the attitudes of tolerance and community spirit, so we came as soon as
we could. Treasuring this quiet haven that still manages a small town atmosphere
with the big town extras within easy travel, we are so grateful to all who were here
IURPWKH¿UVWRUZKRKDYHOLYHGKHUHPRVWRIWKHLUOLYHV7KHLUGHWHUPLQDWLRQKDV
kept Corrales different from the surrounding area. Those of us who now choose
to be here also want to hang on to this special feeling and keep Corrales from
disappearing in the metropolis that surrounds us.
An endowment is perfect for communal fund-raising because it is set up as a 501(c)3, so
FRQWULEXWLRQVDUHWD[GHGXFWLEOH7KLVEHQH¿WVGRQRUVIRUWKHLUJHQHURVLW\6LPSOLI\LQJWKH
¿QDQFLDOSURFHVVIRUXVDQGHQVXULQJWKDWDOOLVFDUHGIRUSURSHUO\LVWKDWDQRXWVLGHDJHQF\
– the Albuquerque Community Foundation (ACF) – holds the money in trust for us so that it
is protected and earning interest until we use it. The ACF has earned its stellar reputation for
managing money for many organizations, providing the essential services that let all these
endowments, including the CFF, function well.
Corrales’ agricultural heritage and the open space it demands, the tiny business
core, and the nearby Village boundaries all mean that our revenue base is limited
and diminishing. Some think there is no way Corrales will remain an independent
entity. They sadly foresee our being annexed by Rio Rancho or attached to
$OEXTXHUTXHDVVXPLQJWKDWZHZLOOEHFRPHXQVXVWDLQDEOH¿QDQFLDOO\$QGLWLVD
possibility, if we allow it to happen.
The goal of the Corrales Future Fund is to have one million dollars in our account. Can we get
there? The answer is a resounding yes, and in a surprisingly short time – just one or two more
years – if we all contribute what we can afford. Our home, Corrales, is worth your making an
effort to talk with everyone about making this real. Within a couple of years our account can be
providing $45,000 a year for projects that are not covered by either MainStreet funding efforts or
in the Village budget.
To prevent the unthinkable, losing Corrales’ independence and individuality, six years ago

While many recommendations were made to the Village Council, one notable idea was pursued
outside the political process –creating a citizen-run endowment for the Village. Thus was born
the Corrales Future Fund (CFF), a permanent answer to the continuing problem of money
availability for so many different kinds of needs – a brilliant solution!
6LJQL¿FDQWO\WKH&))LVDSHUSHWXDOSRRORIPRQH\WKDWLVLQGHSHQGHQWKDQGOHGE\DERDUGRI
directors separate from the political process. When Richard and I heard about the CFF, we knew
it was an opportunity to make a lasting contribution to a place we love because it is not just one
donation. Along with the other contributions, it grows with time and will work again and again.
The CFF’s purpose is to provide dollars for one-time needs that are outside the Village’s budget,
but that are valuable or essential for our community. A perfect example of this is the recent
funding and acquisition of the Rescue Vehicle to replace the failing truck our dedicated EMTs
used. Our whole community is safer with this investment – initiated by CFF and supported by the
Village Council, County and the Fire Department. One-fourth of the funds were provided privately
by donations raised by CFF from Village residents.
Evelyn Losack and I talked recently about Corrales history and how much has been
accomplished with neighbors working together. When we discussed the Future Fund she said,
“Old-timers in Corrales put blood, sweat and tears into working for the good of the community.
The Fund is a new way for those who have lived here for generations and for newcomers too to
help Corrales. Contributions will be a forever gift for the Village.”
“A forever gift” – we don’t often get a chance to do something that lasts forever. But that truly is
what a contribution to the Future Fund is – something whose effects will last forever.
This is a fund to help the whole community, and we can all contribute. Because all donations go
into the same account to keep Corrales an independent entity, there is no gift to the Corrales
Future Fund that is too small –every gift is important. Whether it is cash, stock, land, or a
bequest in a will, every penny counts, and all are welcome!
The CFF is governed by your friends and neighbors, all willing to share details about its
management. Gary Miller, Bill Vega, Nora Scherzinger, Dallas Renner, Stan Betzer, Lenore
Reeve and Tracy Small are the willing volunteers. You may contact the Corrales Future Fund at
[email protected] or 899-2608.
What do YOU want Corrales to be? Do you want it kept as our wonderful quirky place unlike the
surrounding metropolis? Do you want us to be Rio Rancho East or Albuquerque North? It’s time
for all of us to walk the walk, to join the effort for what we love about Corrales by donating to
preserve the independent existence of the Village.
A Note From Lenore
As a new member of the Board of Directors of the Corrales Future Fund I’d like to tell you why
I joined the board. I think that it is important for all of us to contribute to the Fund whatever we
can afford. Corrales needs a stable source of revenue for unexpected expenses. This stable
source of revenue comes from the interest earned on the principal of the fund. The revenues
can be used for purchases that are important for our safety - like the new rescue vehicle - and for
LWHPVWKDWFDQ¶W¿WLQWRWKH9LOODJH¶VOLPLWHGEXGJHWVXFKDVQHZFRPSXWHUVIRUWKH¿UHGHSDUWPHQW
or replacing a roof on a community building or an additional feature to the rec center.
Those of us on the CFF board are committed to working on behalf of all of our residents to

The GOOD,
The BAD, The EWA…
Health Insurance is here to stay. In the upcoming year every
American citizen will be mandated to have a minimum level
of insurance no matter their race, religion, or social standing.
This reality slowly ate away at Bill Stanage from the Wealth
Management Group. The question which has tormented Bill
can be broken down into three parts: how to offer large group
benefits to small group employers?; can this be sustained for
the long term?; and how can this be done economically enough
so any small company can take advantage of the program?.
Bill sat down with the major health insurance providers from
the New Mexico region in the spring of 2012 to formulate what
could be done. The answer is the “Enchantment Wellness Association” or EWA.
EWA teamed up with Presbyterian and the local Wellness firm
NuVita in mid 2012. Together they formed a whole new way of
thinking about Health Insurance by making wellness the key
component, rather than just the medical insurance.
Each year costs continue to skyrocket and each year our communities continue to overuse the healthcare system. There is
a direct correlation between the utilization of healthcare and
the increase in healthcare premiums. The wellness component
from NuVita is scientifically proven to lower risks associated
with heart disease, high cholesterol and being overweight.
By lowering these risks, individuals in turn lower their utiliza-
tion. By lowering utilization, tangible rewards felt by members
include physiological and mental improvements, along with
the possibility to limit or even reduce monthly premiums. Presbyterian has recognized this improvement in living as an asset
to better the lives of their members throughout New Mexico.
Employers who have enrolled in the Enchantment Wellness
Association are already realizing both the cost savings and
soft benefits associated with bringing this dynamic program
to their employees. Performance in the work place increases
as happier healthier employees become more productive and
more alert reducing worksite accidents. Healthier employees
miss less work due to preventable injuries and boosted immune systems. Finally, competition that is fostered between
peers and companies alike has promoted team building with a
more cohesive work environment leading to an efficient workforce and increased creativity.
Before, small groups were limited in plan design, and usually
picked one cookie cutter option for the entire business. EWA
now offers any group with 2 or more employees a choice from
5 Health plans, 4 dental plans, and 2 vision plans from both
Benefit Source and Presbyterian; allowing each employee to
customize the insurance options to their individual needs.
Contact the Wealth Management Group now to take control of
your company’s future and avoid the unpredictability of the future
of healcare.

UNM West now offering core, pre-requisite courses
By Joseph Moreno, UNM West
UNM West is excited to announce that dual credit, core and pre-requisite courses are
now available at its campus starting Fall 2013! The availability of these courses impacts
students in several ways; high school students can now take dual credit courses live at
UNM West for high school and college credit. In addition, beginning freshman students/
high school graduates can begin their educational journeys at UNM West! These
courses are also available for current UNM students interested in taking courses closer
to home. Further, because of our smaller class sizes and convenient location, students
ZKRDUHLQWHUHVWHGLQUHWXUQLQJWRVFKRROFDQEHQH¿WIURPWKHVHFRXUVHV
In addition, we are still specializing in Education (Elementary/ Special Education Dual
Licensure), Business Administration, Liberal Arts, and Arts & Sciences programs
(Psychology, Criminology, Sociology, American Studies, Communication & Journalism).
Starting this fall, the Emergency Medical Services Academy will begin offering courses
(EMT) at UNM West. In addition, we anticipate Nursing and Dental Hygiene expanding
to our campus in the near future as well. We continue to work with CNM on transfer/
degree program completion between institutions, so that students can take courses
concurrently at both schools, or begin at CNM, with a transfer to UNM West for degree
completion.
There is much going on at UNM West in the way of programming for area students. We
invite you to visit our campus in the Rio Rancho City Center, visit our website at http://
unmwest.unm.edu or like us on Facebook for more information!
