Dear Editor;
This past Saturday the Village of Milan had a very successful cleanup. We had a big turnout, and everyone had a good time. Village Manager Sarah Austin, her husband MFD Chief Austin, new Code Enforcement Officer Michael, other firefighters and Village employees showed up also. Village Trustee Ellen Baca was there to help as always. We had two young men working on special cleaning projects, Tyrell and Joseph. Many residents brought their trucks filled to take advantage of this opportunity. We cleaned up trash around Luvs, Old Route 66 and on Willow Street and everything looked great.
In the past four years we have had many Cibola County cleanups. Millions of pounds of trash, junk, rubbish, and tires has been removed from our streets, our properties and communities. The City of Grants and the Village of Milan have led out in this cleanup effort and it has gotten the word out that Cibola County will be the cleanest County in the State of New Mexico.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the NWNMRSWA and its Director Billy W. Moore. We thank everyone that takes the responsibility to clean up your properties and help your neighbors that struggle to do the same. We tentatively have a cleanup planned for April 10th at Bluewater Village, but due to Earth Day and demand, we may have to move that to a future date. We will be having more cleanups between now and June. We will announce them as we have more information.

Gun controversies
Dear Editor;
Well, I do not know if this letter will make the paper via the editor or not. Will try and add internet links to make the local editor happy and leave out any names of people I have mentioned. Being retired form police work in the military and in the local community for more than 38+ years I have encountered serval cases where the Federal Government Refused to prosecute gun cases that only they could file because it was not allowed under NM State law. I had a complaint from the family of one of my registered sex offenders who was carrying an AR-15 every he went. The family told me the wife purchased it legally, but the ATF in Albuquerque refused to go after this guy, made sure it was in my report to protect the department. There were other cases same excuse, guns with silencers from down south, a couple from out of state with sawed of rifles or AR’s same excuse not worth the ATF’s or US Attorneys time. So why do I bring this up, well Hunter Biden may have lied on an ATF form when he purchased his gun, and may have been involved in some kind of incident with it, hftps://www.nraila.org/articles/20210329/hunter-biden-s-involvement-in-firearm-incident-raises-important-legal-questions.
His father our new President, Joe Biden wants to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazine, while about 5000 thousands national guardsmen carrying FULLY AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLES, with HIGH CAPCITY MAGAZINES are guarding the capitol, https://wtop.com/dc/2021/02/nearly -5000-national-guard-troops-to-remain-in-washington-through-mid-march-due-to-concerns-about-qano n-chatter/.
What’s wrong with this picture then have a very high fence with concertina wire on top, but Biden stops the one being finished at the border, and lets illegals folks flood in many of which many have Covid-1 9 , hftps://www.locan.com/news/texas-politic s/fact-check-are-migrants-with-covid-19-being-released-into-texas/.
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is you better hope some of these groups asking for donations like the NRA, Gun owners of America take this guy to court, and judges do the right thing and protect or second amendment rights when the time comes. Here is a link of some recommended to donate to ,https://lockedback.com/4-pro-gun-organizations-join-support-2nd-amendment/.
I have decided with all the problems the NRA has right now to go with Gun Owners of America, its important to find one and donate to it before it is too late.
