Denish: Local News And First Amendment, What’s At Stake

We often hear about threats to the First Amendment in big, national terms: government restrictions on speech, banning of journalists or protests, or legal threats over what can and cannot be published or said in comedy.
Those threats are real. But in rural New Mexico, the danger often looks much quieter. It looks like the slow disappearance of local news.
The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech and of the press. But those rights don’t mean much if there’s no one left to exercise them. No local reporters. No editors asking hard questions. Read More
Home Country: We Live In An Age Of Small Miracles
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
When we first noticed the baby sparrow, here at the house, it saddened us all. He had fallen from his nest and was slowly walking around the front yard under the tree while his mother and father had an absolute fit.
We knew we were looking at a dead baby bird, as it was only a question of who does it, where it is done, and how long before it happens. Years of experience in these kinds of things have taught us the finality of a baby bird falling out of a tree.
Would the end come from a cat, or from a raccoon wandering up from Lewis Creek, or a snake? One of the problems with being a baby bird Read More

The Western United States, particularly the states that are part of the Colorado River drainage are facing an unprecedented water crisis.
A severely below-normal snowpack and warm temperatures in March have led to low stream flow and reservoir levels throughout the region.
Glen Canyon Dam, which impounds Lake Powell, is in danger of reaching “Dead Pool” meaning no water could be released. Reservoirs upstream from Lake Powell, like Flaming Gorge in Utah, have been ordered to release more water to prevent this catastrophe. The Read More

Posts From The Road: Bob Dylan Center In Tulsa
Bob Dylan Center: The Bob Dylan Center is located in a three-story brick building in the Tulsa Arts District near downtown Tulsa. This image of Dylan is painted on the brick wall of the building. I believe that the image is flat with little contrast to create a more vague photo of Dylan. Dylan’s lyrics, music and persona were sometimes a mystery and could be interpreted various ways.

Not So Quiet: An example of a wall featuring Dylan’s life in chronological order. The displays featured video, photos, written explanations, and audio to correspond with the events Read More
Fr. Glenn: To Protect And To Serve
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Remember the old TV back in the pre-internet days? We were the “remote control” (“Glenn: get up and turn it to channel 12. And adjust the rabbit ears.”). Ah, the old black and whites. Horizontal and vertical controls. The stations signing on in the morning and off at night with the national anthem. The radio announcement: “It’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?” The old shows like Gunsmoke, Laugh-In, Get Smart, Bonanza, Hee Haw, Star Trek (what a legacy THAT one has had!). And one of my favorites was Adam-12, which centered around two Los Angeles police officers on Read More
