First, I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! I know many of us are ready to see 2024 in the rearview mirror.
As we look ahead to 2025, I am filled with hope and optimism. The scenic beauty of our mountain village remains undiminished, and our commitment to preserving and protecting this special place has only grown stronger. We are not just rebuilding – we are reimagining a more resilient Ruidoso that will continue to thrive for generations to come.
To those still recovering: please know that you are not alone. The Village remains ready to connect you with available resources and support services. The recovery process has been gradual as we knew it would be, but we continue to make meaningful progress. Our community’s strength lies in our unity, and we will continue to support one another through this journey.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our first responders, public works teams, and all the community members who have contributed to our recovery efforts. Your dedication and perseverance inspire us all.
As your Mayor, I remain committed to leading our village forward with transparency, determination, and an unwavering focus on our community’s wellbeing. Together, we will continue to rebuild, strengthen, and preserve the unique character and charm that makes Ruidoso our beloved home.
I also want to acknowledge the retirement of our Fire Chief Joe Kasuboski. Joe has been with the Ruidoso Fire Department since 2017 and has been at the helm of RFD since the day the McBride Fire broke out. I hope you enjoy your retirement and well-deserved family time. Your service is appreciated!
Don’t forget to tune-in every Monday morning from 8:00-10:00 AM to Mondays with the Mayor on 1490 AM – The Mountain. We put out a lot of helpful information during these two hoursespecially in the wake of the fires. If you can’t tune-in, you can visit 1490KRUI.com and read a recap of the show or listen to the replay on your own schedule.
Again, Happy New Year - let’s make it a good one!

WORKFORCE HOUSING UPDATE
603 Mechem Workforce Housing Project
The workforce housing development at 603 Mechem is taking shape as all the units are in place but not set. The contractor continues to finish pad sites, and all utilities are on track to be installed by February. As a reminder, the VOR is coordinating the transportation of these modular homes to the property to minimize disruptions and delays; however, there may be brief interruptions to ease the movement of the units through the Village. The Village is currently out to bid for landscaping services for the area. This work will start in February and work will be temperature dependent.
For those interested in living at 603 Mechem, a waitlist is being managed by Berkshire Hathaway. For more information on the qualifications, please call 575-257-4011. For additional details on the overall project, contact Michael Martinez at 575-258-4343 ext. 1006

STAFF RECOGNITION
RFD & RPD Under New Leadership
RUIDOSO POLICE DEPARTMENT
Chief Lawrence Chavez retired at the end of November 2024 after 17 years of service with the Ruidoso Police Department. Chavez had served as Chief since June of 2021. He did an excellent job leading the department and working closely with administration. During his tenure, he mentored several employees including Deputy Police Chief Steven Minner, who was recently appointed to the Police Chief position. Chief Chavez will be missed greatly but did an excellent job working through a succession plan to ensure the department would have continuity in operations and leadership.
Chief Minner will head the Ruidoso Police Department and Dispatch Center. Minner has been the Deputy Chief for the last two years and has been preparing for this role for quite some time. He has over 22 years of law enforcement experience and worked for the Capitan Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office before coming to RPD in 2010. The Chief has worked his way through the ranks and has excelled in every position he has held. Chief Minner is respected and supported in the community and surrounding areas. He looks forward to continuing to advance the department’s mission by focusing on recruitment and retention of officers to protect and serve the citizens of Ruidoso.
RUIDOSO FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Joe Kasuboski of the Ruidoso Fire Department officially retired at the end of December 2024. Kasuboski has been with the Village of Ruidoso since 2017 when he was hired as the Emergency Manager. In 2022, he was promoted to Fire Chief. Kasuboski has 30 years in state and local government and added value to the Village. During his time as Fire Chief, Kasuboski was successful in mentoring his staff and exposing them to different levels of municipal government. He also worked on a succession plan with the incoming Chief Cade Hall and made sure he was ready to hit the ground running.
Cade Hall has been selected as the new Ruidoso Fire Chief as Kasuboski steps down. Hall has been at the Ruidoso Fire Department for 19 years and has been promoted through the ranks. He has demonstrated leadership every step of the way. One of his priorities will be to continue building their fleet so the department can be more responsive to large-scale needs in the area and other locations where services may be requested. He will focus on continued training for all firefighters and officers and will advocate for newer personnel to attend higher level technician-based classes. There will also be a renewed focus on educating the public regarding the RFD staff qualifications, as well as jurisdictions, boundaries, fire safety and the department’s response to emergency events.

Winter Electrical Hazards
As winter approaches, electrical hazards become a significant concern due to increased use of heating systems, holiday lights, and electrical appliances.
One of the most common risks is overloading circuits, which can lead to overheating and fires. Avoid overloading outlets by plugging only one high-wattage appliance into each socket and use extension cords rated for heavy-duty use if necessary. Never daisy-chain multiple cords together and always inspect cords for wear and fraying before use.
Holiday lights, a beloved winter tradition, also pose electrical hazards. Ensure that the lights are in good condition by checking for damaged wires or broken bulbs before hanging them. Always turn off lights when leaving the house or going to bed and never leave them unattended. Use only lights that are labeled as safe for indoor or outdoor use to avoid potential dangers.
In addition to lighting, be mindful of other electrical appliances such as space heaters, which can easily overload circuits or cause electrical fires if not used properly. Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet—never into an extension cord or power strip—and keep them at least three feet away from flammable materials.
Regularly check and maintain electrical systems to reduce the risk of fire and ensure a safe winter season.
“I know you all work so hard to keep everything up and running - especially after what we have been through this past summer. Please tell everyone at the Village that there ARE people in this community that appreciate what they do. There are water crews working in front of my house in the cold and darkplease pat all of those hard workers on the back for me!” ~ Heather B.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
High Loop Water Systems Improvement Project
The High Loop Water Systems Improvements Project was awarded to J & H Services Inc. during the December Village Council Meeting. This project will replace approximately 18,535 linear feet of existing 2-inch galvanized and 6-inch asbestos-cement lines with 6-inch C900 PVC with fire protection. This area was deemed problematic due to the multiple main breaks that occurred within the Country Club Subdivision. Because of this, the Village went out for Water Trust Board funding and was awarded $3,645,695 through a Loan/Grant Agreement with the New Mexico Finance Authority. The remaining funding will come out of GO Bonds and the budget. The total project cost is $6,295,867.39 including NMGRT. The roads to be replaced are Coronado Drive, Lilac Lane, Lupine Loop, Wildwood Drive, High Loop Drive, Starlite Road, Poco Loco Drive, Shannon Lane, Rim Road, Madera Road, Arabella Road, and White Oaks Road.

RUIDOSO MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS
From the Desk of Superintendent Becca Ferguson
Ruidoso Municipal Schools have many dedicated and hard-working employees throughout the system. Some would say none more than Angie Lane who is celebrating 31 years with RMSD. Lane’s journey with Ruidoso School District began in 1994 as a substitute teacher, but a single day in the cafeteria changed her career path. Asked to help in the kitchen on a particularly busy day, she found she enjoyed the camaraderie in the cafeteria and soon joined the team as a part-time cashier.
Back then, the district’s food services were managed by a different company, operating out of what is now the Central Office’s payroll and receiving room. Walking into the Central Office today still brings back fond memories for Angie. In 2001, Angie was offered the role of Food Services Director, now known as K-12, by Elior. She has seen the food service operations evolve, welcoming the changes that have enhanced her team’s ability to serve Ruidoso’s students.
While she first planned to become an elementary school teacher, Angie earned a degree in Technical Education with a minor in Psychology. She later added two master’s degrees—one in Human Resources Management and another in Business Administration.
Food service has been in Angie’s blood since childhood. Growing up in Sweetwater, Texas, her family owned a local diner called Joe’s Café. She recalls fondly her role as a young server, helping her parents by washing endless dishes after school. This early exposure sparked her love for food service, which still drives her today. When the café burned down last year, it marked the end of an era but left Angie with cherished memories.
Since moving to Ruidoso at age 19, Angie has built a life and career rooted in the community. She loves the dynamic, ever-changing nature of food service and the daily interaction with students. “There’s never a repeat day,” she says, adding that the students’ fresh perspectives inspire her.
Angie’s tenure has included navigating significant challenges, from adapting to new regulations to finding creative solutions during COVID-19. During the pandemic, her team served meals from a bus, finding ways to make it work under challenging conditions. “We learned that things don’t have to be the same to be right,” she explains. She credits her dedicated team—some of whom she has worked with for over 25 years—for always rising to the occasion.
Food services have changed over the years, from soaking beans and frying taco shells to today’s healthier offerings. Increased regulations now require most meals to be whole grain-rich, which presents unique challenges at high altitudes. Angie and her team also balance the requirements of the Universal Free Meals program, making more items from scratch while meeting students’ expectations for familiar favorites.
Angie’s outlook on life and work is grounded in resilience and adaptability. She encourages flexibility and tackling challenges as they come. “Every step is a building block,” she says, noting that it’s essential to take things one step at a time to build sustainable success.
Her goal is to build a stable, resilient program, where small issues don’t cause everything to fall apart. She’s grateful for her staff, whom she considers as family, and she’s committed to finding roles that bring out each team member’s strengths. “Challenges give me something to work on,” Angie says. And for more than 25 years, she has met each one with dedication and a spirit of service.

Happy New Year from the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce! We are excited for a great year at the Chamber.

This is our opportunity to meet one-on-one with our legislators and express our concerns. The Village of Ruidoso is working very hard to obtain financial help from the state to continue the cleanup and recovery of our beautiful village following the fires and flooding. They need your support and your voice in Santa Fe. Please consider joining us on February 5th at 5:30 pm at the Herve’ Wine Bar in Santa Fe. Tickets are available at the Chamber of Commerce.
In December, we held the Festival of Lights Parade and what a great parade it was! This year’s theme was a Journey of Hope and Resilience and the floats in the parade depicted just how resilient our community is. Here is a list of the parade winners:

It is one of our very favorite events to organize.
Even after the tough year we have had, we are so blessed to live in this beautiful community that comes together and supports each other. Here at the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce, we work hard every day to make this community a better place to live, work and play. We wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year!

LINCOLN COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER
•
From the Desk of The Chief Executive – Todd Oberheu
Lincoln County Medical Center (LCMC) is proud to have an exceptional team committed to providing outstanding care and support to the community. Recently, two of our dedicated staff members received prestigious awards from the Presbyterian Healthcare System in recognition of their remarkable contributions.
Michael Padilla, Pharmacist Clinician at LCMC, was honored as the 2024 Regional Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) of the Year. This award recognizes APCs practicing in regional facilities who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to rural medicine.
Michael is a trailblazer in his field, serving as the only APC clinician in the region to work in both acute and ambulatory care settings. His dual role ensures continuity of care for patients with diverse healthcare needs. Michael travels regularly to rural locations such as Capitan and Carrizozo, managing essential Coumadin and diabetes clinics to provide critical services to patients who might otherwise lack access to care.
In addition to his clinical work, Michael is dedicated to fostering the next generation of healthcare providers. As a preceptor for pharmacy students, he helps train and inspire future clinicians to serve in rural communities, addressing the ongoing shortage of providers in these areas.
Charles Wood, Security Supervisor at LCMC, was named Presbyterian’s 2024 Security Leader of the Year for regional hospitals. Since joining LCMC in 2020, Charles has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to safety.
Charles’ caring and calm approach to security has fostered a culture of de-escalation and support within his team. His leadership was especially evident during recent fires and floods, when he worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of staff, patients, and visitors. Charles’ efforts have made LCMC a secure and welcoming environment for all.
Congratulations to Michael and Charles for their outstanding contributions to LCMC and the community.
RUIDOSO MIDTOWN ASSOCIATION
From the Desk of RMA Board President Chris Stettheimer
Happy New Year Ruidoso! After a trying and interesting 2024, we look forward to the New Year and all it has to offer. January 1, 2025 is the first page in a 365-page book, and the Ruidoso Midtown Association plans to make it a good one. We are thrilled to enter 2025 with an extraordinary board of local businessmen and women representing the RMA and the Midtown district.
In addition, we are excited to announce that we have a new Executive Director - Tim Duckworth! He came to us from Texas and thought he would never leave there - that is until he started visiting Ruidoso about 14 years ago. After moving his daughter to college at the University of Arkansas, he moved his family to Ruidoso and now cannot imagine living anywhere else. Tim brings many years of experience in customer relations and project management to the RMA. He is looking forward to utilizing these skills to bring fun activities and economic growth to Midtown Ruidoso. We are delighted to see what he brings to our organization. With all the events planned for this upcoming new year, the anticipation is infectious, and we are eager to move forward with positive hearts and minds.
All of us at the RMA wish our Village a prosperous New Year! May it be filled with exciting opportunities and great achievements!
