Over the last five years, New Mexico State Police has issued more than 13,000 citations in construction zones.
Officers could get help with writing more under a bill the New Mexico Department of Transportation unveiled Tuesday.
Senate Bill 241 would authorize the department to place automated speed enforcement cameras in construction zones, joining 42 other states that have already adopted such measures to protect workers, Transportation Cabinet Secretary Ricky Serna said during a news briefing Read More
Home Country: The Iditarod Trail
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
They are getting ready now, wondering if the race will bring prize money, glory to their dogs, or just some quiet laughter from the other mushers.
The Iditarod Trail.
It has come to mean “The Trail” to dog mushers and kennel owners all over the state of Alaska and in a lot of other places.
There are other long distance dogsled races now. We know that. But the Iditarod started all that “long, cold camping trip” stuff. And I was lucky to be a part of that very first Iditarod in March of 1973.
Strangely enough, each musher has a list of life-saving equipment and food on that sled. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Convicted!
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Hardly a week goes by in the Catholic calendar in which there is not a memorial of a saint, and very often remembrance of one who endured great hardship or even martyrdom. We might think of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, royalty who gave away all her wealth. Or Damien of Molokai, who chose lifelong exile to minister the lepers. Or the thousands of missionaries who gave their lives to spread the Christian faith among unbelievers in hopes of leading them to eternal life and joy with God. Or the nuns who went singing to the guillotine. Or the many martyrs even of today in places like Nigeria Read More

New cars are packed with cutting-edge technology designed to enhance safety, convenience, and entertainment. From advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to massive touchscreen displays, today’s vehicles feel more like computers on wheels. But while these features add luxury and innovation, they also come with a hefty hidden cost—one that most buyers don’t fully consider until it’s too late.

Fr. Glenn: Re(Presenting) Ourselves
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Maybe you’ve caught some of the confirmation hearings for prospective (some now confirmed) members of President Trump’s cabinet. It’s the same every time when a new administration comes into office—the sidestepping of ticklish questions, and “gotcha” questions by adversaries on the various examining committees. But no doubt much of the public show is concerned with presentation on both sides … how they will appear to their constituencies, supporters and bosses so that their own particular target audiences will continue to support them.
Now, on February 2 of each year, Read More

Many of us are feeling lost, scared or depressed these days as we hear tidbits of national news. Try to tune it out and we miss important information about the direction our country is being taken. Watch it with fervid interest and we have trouble sleeping peacefully through the night.

I am extremely lucky, or blessed by providence, if you will, I will admit that freely. I was born into a loving middle-class family and believed from the beginning that I could achieve whatever I put my mind to. I was encouraged to follow my heart into art school after high school. In retrospect that may not have been the wisest choice.
During college in Las Cruces, I was a courtesy clerk at a grocery store that was not the nicest of places. Let’s just say they found it necessary to hire a third-party security guard after dark. Read More
