State of Affairs

This last week I had the great privilege of attending legislative committee meetings in Santa Fe. The capital is a beautiful city, ancient, and historic city. Driving to the Roundhouse – the New Mexico capitol, the building where our government is housed – you go down so much history.

Travels in Grants

January-new beginnings, time to look back at old bad habits. First going through last year's bills to confront how much I overspent and then shred the statements in repentance. Next the collection of papers for the IRS as penance.

Letters to the Editor

Sakelares Dear Editor, In view of the extensive foundation work necessary to repair Sakalares Boulevard, adding not just one, but three roundabouts there is a waste of time and money. Related to this is Ms. Elva P-Dominguez’s letter about Leach Avenue (and many others in similar condition).

Postcards From Milan

It’s the quonset hut with the wood frame front that might grab your eye first. It sits next to an unassuming house on a quiet street in the Village of Milan.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am writing today as a concerned citizen. Have you ever driven up Leech Street? I asked this because if you have then you know exactly what I'm talking about and why I ask how did these $200,000 and $300,000 homes get approval to be built when it isn't even a legal street.

Always Living and Learning

In mid-December, just before the winter break, Grants High School concluded the first semester with exam week. I was pleased as most of my English/ journalism students, for the most part, approached exams well and mostly prepared.

Letters to the Editor

Dear editor, The New Mexico Mining Museum did a good job in honoring the miners. They had an open house and took a tour of the underground mine. Those miners worked very hard and they worked in in human conditions. They worked days, nights and graveyard shifts.

Civics Potpourri

On January 6 New Mexico will celebrate 111 years as a state. The Land of Enchantment captivates the imagination and has inspired great works of art through stories, fables, myths, and paintings. Rich in tradition and diversity, New Mexico’s culture goes back thousands of years.

Dear Nancy:

I recently lost my 11-year-old Labrador, Bo, because of a heart issue, and I feel like I'm missing a huge part of my life. Bo was my loyal companion for so long, and my days feel empty without him by my side. It’s been hard to sleep at night, especially with his dog bed on the floor next to mine.
