  It's not natural to hide something you're proud of, but Fire Chief Anthony Martinez knows he needs to create more visual buffering for his new water towers. He has already planted 24 trees on the two-acre site for the new fire-rescue substation in Corrales' Far Northwest Sector where the Harvey Jones and Dulcelina Curtis flood control channels converge But surveying the tall water tank behind the new station, Martinez thinks he'll need at least six more trees planted close to the tower to help obscure it. And he'll need another dozen or so to plant around the parcel's northern perimeter. When he gained Planning and Zoning approval for the new substation, the site development plan required considerable landscaping on what had been two acres of bare land with scattered sagebrush. The standard requirement was imposed that the landscaping be installed within one year. He knows that if he plants small trees around the water tank it will be years before they adequately screen views of the tank. He faces the same problem where the other new water tank is installed, between Loma Larga and the Main Canal. He has 14 trees planted at that site, nearly all along the southeastern edge of the Village-owned parcel, between the tank and the nearest homes. An irrigation system for the plantings at the fire substation was donated by Sunbelt Nurseries, with an estimated value of $3,500.

  "This letter is a follow-up to a meeting I had with [NMED Division Director] Jim Norton and Jon Goldstein [public affairs] on October 24, 2003 regarding the Intel air quality permit and Air Quality Bureau problems in general.  This meeting was prompted by a reporter's request for an interview with me prior to my retirement on December 31, 2003. The reporter [Corrales Comment's Jeff Radford] made the request because I was a program manager of the New Source Review permitting unit of the Air Quality Bureau from June 1994 until March 2001.

  Councillor Gerard Gagliano has said repeatedly since he won a seat on the Village Council in a special election last fall that he feels too restricted by provisions of the state's Open Meetings Act. He wants to be able to work by e-mail with other councillors on solutions to Village problems between meetings of the council. Gagliano suggested at the January 13 meeting that the council might want to consider an innovative, internet interactive approach to conducting activities of Village government. He said he would present a written proposal in the weeks ahead that he thought would comply with provisions of the Open Meetings Act while engaging in discussions via the internet. He had complained of the act's constraints last month when he and two other councillors presented a resolution on waste water strategies which had been developed in out-of-session discussions. He said at the time he felt it was unfortunate that he could not discuss his ideas with all members of the council outside of posted council meetings due to the N.M. OpenMeetings Act.

  They had moved to Albuquerque in the 1946, living in a brand new subdivision in the near Northeast Heights along Jefferson."We looked at living on a farm in Corrales as a better alternative," she recalled."We knew we wouldn't have to farm for a living, but if it turned out that way, fine."At first, trying to keep up the farm they had bought was a weekend effort since they both had full-time jobs in Albuquerque.She was a broadcast producer for KOB-Radio.Her husband was an electronics engineer at Sandia National Laboratories."We really didn't do any farming at first, but right away there were people coming here to plant and share the crop."Smith's contributions to maintaining Corrales' character and farming tradition have been recognized officially in recent years.She was honored as the Corrales Fourth of July parade grand marshall in 2004.In 1997 she was named "Farmer of the Year" by the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation Service, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.A celebration of her life is planned for the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend at her home on Corrales Road.Donations to the Dorothy Smith Scholarship Fund of the N.M. Advertising Federation may be sent in her memory.

  Two former chairmen of the Corrales Bosque Advisory,Commission, Steve Weiss and Jeff Radford, expressed their own dismay at witnessing the habitat destruction which has resulted from the Corps' fuel load reduction project.
  ...
  Radford suggested that while everyone recognized the need for fire protection, the Corps' vegetation clearing has seriously under-valued the need for wildlife habitat.Distributing photographs of clear-cut stretches of the bosque at the north end, he noted, "This is not a nature preserve."Radford insisted that Village officials hire a wildlife habitat consultant to determine what level of clearing is acceptable.He said he has been asking for more than two years "How much clearing is too much?
