Dear Grants City Council.I stand before you today as a citizen of Grants who unfortunately lost everything on the Alamo fire on E. Sage on the evening of April 27th. To help people understand how fast this fire spread, the first call came in at 7:05 p.m.

Summer arrived suddenly.It was as if spring got shortchanged and we leapt from late winter into summer with nothing in between. I watched the gardeners wake with a start and begin tearing up their lawns and gardens with a fury, as if they had overslept and had to make up for lost time.

When I started teaching in Grants in the middle of the school year last year, I immediately realized how much there was to learn.

CIBOLA COUNTY, N.M. — Guy H. Mills stood just over five feet tall, but his impact on Cibola County—and the country he served—was anything but small.

High school memories! Ah, yes, `The Good, The Bad, and the ...Funny?' Mr. Cacciapaglia, known as Mr. `C' to students, was my English teacher my senior year in 1981 at Madison High School in Vienna, Va. (I find it cool that our school colors at Madison were red and black, same as Grants High!

It’s hard to know what I’m waiting for, but I’m waiting for something.Spring is late. I would have known this even if I wasn’t getting daily reminders in my email of the beautiful pictures I took exactly a year ago. One year ago, all the trees were in full bloom. The tulips were hitting their prime.
