166-year-old New Mexico church undergoing restoration project
CORRALES, N.M. (KRQE) – A more than century-old religious landmark from the 1860s is getting new life in Corrales with a major restoration. It's not just about preserving adobe walls but safeguarding the village's identity. Story continues below News: Family of 19-year-old bicyclist killed in crash calls for change Trending: Carlsbad Caverns officials uncover historic cave trash Van Tate's Sports Office: Catching up with Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia Balloon Fiesta: AIFB announces new balloons, pilots for 2025 For most of its lifespan, the Old San Ysidro Church was owned by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. But since the 1970s, the roughly 166-year-old church has been owned by the village. Ed Boles, the Corrales Historical Society vice president, said for about a century, it was maintained by those who attended the church, the village residents. ' When it became public property, the need to find a way to maintain it became obvious. That's what the historical society was formed to do.' Now, the CHS is managing the building's biggest restoration yet— stripping the walls down to the original adobe for the first time in over 150 years. 'We wanted to go all the way back down to the original adobes,' said village project manager Tanya Lattin. 'To find damage and put in new adobes, where needed, to make it safe, and to also make sure that it would be here for another 150 years.' Since starting the restoration in June, the team has found unexpected damage, meaning funding from the state legislature fell short. Anne Van Camp, historian and CHS's president, said that it was a unanimous decision for the society to step up. 'The Society said, 'Well, we're going to raise the money to help fund the extra cost that it's going to take to get it to where it needs to be.' With the walls exposed, it's a rare chance to upgrade the electrical system, which will eventually allow for the church to conceal its first AC system behind the original vigas, corbels, and latillas. CHS's vision is to bring the church back to its original glory. 'This is the heart of the village. You can't find anybody who doesn't have a story about the church,' said Van Camp. 'So that's what our vision is— to bring it back so that people really appreciate that again.' The church was de-sanctified in 1961, but Old San Ysidro Church is far from forgotten. It's now home to music and art shows, weddings, city council meetings, and village festivals. The adobe restoration is expected to wrap by the end of August — but organizers still need funding for the heating and cooling systems. Some local groups, including the Kiwanis Club, are helping fund the project. The Corrales Historical Society said it's still taking donations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Noskin's Latest Collection Reworks Subculture Uniforms for a New Generation
Summary Melbourne labelNoskinis proof that rebellion never really goes out of style; it just evolves. Founded by former musicianTony Corrales, the brand merges classic silhouettes with the raw energy of subcultural history, crafting pieces that are timeless, subversive and quietly confrontational. Noskin's design language was built on punk ideals and refined craftsmanship—a meeting of worlds that reflects Corrales' own journey from London and LA's music scenes to Melbourne's fashion underground. The latest drop, 'Wildest Ones Yet,' leans into that ethos with intention. Inspired by the infamous 1960s Brighton Beach Riots between Mods and Rockers, the collection reinterprets that cultural clash through sharp tailoring and gritty details: cropped blazers with raw-edge patches, graphic shirts and button-ups with unfinished hems channel both the polish of the Mods and the rough rebellion of Rockers. Operating from a studio-store tucked away in Melbourne's inner north, Noskin keeps things intentionally off-radar. But with nearly every piece from 'Wildest Ones Yet' selling out, the label's moment in the spotlight feels inevitable, offering subcultural edge, minus the nostalgia trap. Head toNoskin's official websitefor a closer look at their other offerings.

AI Might be Writing the Code, But Who's Reading It? Jonathan Corrales Calls for Education Reform
There's no doubt that artificial intelligence can generate thousands of lines of code in seconds. But that raises the question as to what it actually means to be a software engineer. For Jonathan Corrales, the founder of Ready Aim Interview , a communications coaching firm for tech professionals, the answer is clear: engineers must become expert code readers, not just coding writers. And until computer science education reflects that, students will continue to graduate unprepared for the reality of today's job market. "Computer science programs are still largely teaching people how to write code," says Corrales. "But in the age of AI, reading code is what's going to matter most." Corrales, a 20-year tech industry veteran and former hiring manager who's interviewed many candidates, believes education is falling dangerously behind industry needs. With AI changing the nature of software development, the skills required to succeed are evolving, but classrooms, he warns, are still stuck in the 2000s. "We're flooding the workforce with graduates who know how to write for the test, but not how to think like an engineer, like a creator," he shares. The fallout is already visible. According to recent U.S. labor data, computer engineering and computer science majors rank among the top 10 degrees with the highest unemployment rates, with computer science sitting at 6.1% . Corrales warns, "This should be a cause for concern. Computer science promises high salaries and stability, but many graduates can't land their first role." The biggest reason for this is that entry-level jobs are slowly disappearing. Employers expect candidates to arrive with experience navigating today's complex systems, managing large codebases, and collaborating in real-world environments. But most degree programs still revolve around isolated, individual coding assignments, far removed from industry conditions. "There's a growing disconnect between what students learn and what they're expected to do on day one of a job," says Corrales. "And that gap is only widening with the rise of AI." Ready Aim Interview The quote that inspired Corrales' thinking on this comes from a famous American computer scientist who spoke along the lines of 'reading is more important than writing.' "That quote stuck with me," he reflects. "Now, more than ever, it applies to code. AI is writing at scale. But it's still up to humans to read, interpret, and fix that code when it inevitably breaks." Corrales cites real-world examples: AI-generated code that works, until it doesn't. Massive software systems like Linux, which spans 30 million lines of code. "Imagine reading through 20,000 lines of text every day just to find a bug or a bottleneck," Corrales says. "That's the new reality." To prepare engineers for that reality, Corrales believes computer science programs must overhaul their approach. His recommendation: do teach syntax, but move quickly to reading real-world code. Use open-source libraries. Challenge students to fix bugs or enhance features. Corrales further suggests replacing one-off assignments with group projects. "Real jobs require collaboration, version control, and communication; skills students rarely practice," he states. Incorporating AI as a tool could also help aid, not just as a topic, but to create sample applications with intentional errors, asking students to debug and improve them. Shift the focus from creating to maintaining because, according to Corrales, it's about understanding what exists and making it better. He even draws an analogy from literature. "If you wanted to become a writer, you'd read books and compare how authors handle conflict, pacing, or character. Engineers should be doing the same thing with repositories." While Ready Aim Interview isn't an educational institution, Corrales uses his platform to help job seekers navigate this shifting terrain. His clients, many recently laid off, some just entering the workforce, often arrive feeling lost. "They come to me deflated. They've spent years and thousands of dollars on a degree, and they still don't know how to get hired," he says. What Corrales offers is guidance: helping them understand system design, refine interview strategies, and, most critically, reframe how they think about their value. "I tell them: you have to be sharper than ever before. Not just in your skills, but in how you present those skills. Because the jobs are fewer, the bar is higher, and the expectations are shifting." And that's exactly why he's calling for a change in education. Because while individuals can self-study, pursue mentorship, or practice endlessly, there's no substitute for a system that prepares students for the field they're entering. "When I was a student, it took me a year to find my first job," Corrales recalls. "And at that time, I wasn't even competing with AI, or global talent, or a pandemic-sized economic shock. Today's students are. And if their education isn't built for that world, we're setting them up to fail." The future of software development may be faster, but it's also messier, more complex, and more collaborative than ever before. Yes, AI can generate software. But software still needs to be debugged, secured, and maintained. That's human work that needs to be trained right at the outset. In the meantime, Corrales advises students to take ownership of their learning: Your education might not teach you everything. But that doesn't mean you can't learn it. You just have to know where to look and be willing to sharpen your tools every step of the way." Jonathan Corrales, founder of Ready Aim Interview

Garden City man gets 13 Years for racketeering, murder
FINNEY COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — A Garden City man has been sentenced to more than 13 years in prison for leading a multi-year racketeering operation that included drug trafficking, theft, and the 2020 murder of Alexander 'AJ' Perez, whose body has never been found. On May 27, Oscar Corrales Jr. was sentenced to 156 months — or 13 years — in the Kansas Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to engaging in a pattern of racketeering activity. Judge Rebecca J. Faurot handed down the sentence as part of a plea agreement between Corrales and prosecutors. No charges for officers in shooting of Haysville man Investigators say Corrales was at the center of a criminal operation that spanned several years and counties, involving the systematic theft of cars, tools, electronics, and the distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl. According to court records, Corrales and his associates would steal vehicles and then either switch their vehicle identification numbers using wrecked cars with clean titles or dismantle the stolen vehicles for parts. Prosecutors said Corrales murdered Perez to protect his illicit operation. He reportedly accused Perez of stealing property that Corrales had previously stolen from others. Perez was reported missing in December 2020, and authorities believe he was killed around Dec. 6 of that year. Despite an extensive investigation, his remains have never been recovered. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation continues to seek information about the location of Perez's body. Anyone with knowledge is urged to contact the KBI. Corrales was originally arrested in December 2023 while already in custody on unrelated charges. For more Kansas news, click here.
