A photo of the land Frontier Food Hub plans to build a new community garden and greenhouse on
The nonprofit has a lease agreement with Silver City
but federal dollars meant to support the project have been suspended
The former community garden in Silver City
which was deconstructed more than a decade ago
Resurrecting the garden has popular support from the Silver City community
according to a survey conducted by Frontier Food Hub
In a county where food insecurity is above the state average
Frontier Food Hub is trying to build a community garden
but federal funding for the project was suspended
SILVER CITY — Elysha Montoya remembers sneaking a taste of lemon cucumber in the community garden her mother ran
hoping her mom would mistake the missing bite for the work of a garden pest
Montoya is working to reestablish the garden after it was dismantled more than a decade ago
likely because of an executive order aimed at killing diversity
“Although this plot of land isn’t going to be enough for us to feed the entire community
it’s enough for us to be able to provide training,” Montoya said
“It’s enough for us to put the idea in people’s heads that they can grow their own food.”

— The Boston Hill Fire sent plenty of smoke into the skies above Silver City Monday afternoon before firefighters managed to stop its advance
Silver City Fire Chief Milo Lambert said the blaze grew to 12 acres before his department
the Forest Service and two volunteer departments managed to surround it
but it started just as the winds died down and humidity went up
which Lambert said was a big help in containing the situation
Fire units will remain in place to hold the line throughout the night

How community partnerships strengthened food security and resilience to drought
and extreme heat increasingly threaten food security in the economically challenged region of Grant County
a community where over 60% of residents are people of color
Southwest is facing ongoing threats of drought and long-term aridification
which are directly impacting soil quality and putting community food security in jeopardy
To make the local soil more resilient to drought and to increase food security
the community in Silver City galvanized partnerships to create composting systems to restore soil health
The goal of the Silver City Carboneers project was to adapt to wildfire
The Silver City Carboneers project is driven by a diverse group of local residents who have been working together to enhance community resilience by building partnerships
weaving together local knowledge and resources
and developing a model Civilian Climate Corps
Civilian Climate Corps is a workforce training and service initiative that will train young Americans to build climate and community resilience
In response to these present and future environmental hazards
the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance in Grant County leveraged around $200,000 awarded from the EJ4Climate Grant Program to hire two Civilian Climate Corps members and recruited eight volunteers from the community to assist with the implementation of the project
Project implementers subsequently attended an expert-led
hands-on training workshop in northern New Mexico to learn how to build and use Johnson-Su bioreactors
a type of composting system that creates a static
fungal-rich compost that can be used to restore degraded soil
creating fertile soil to help grow food crops
project implementers held a Climate Action Academy
an interactive online course covering the topics of climate change and food sustainability
for staff of participating schools and interested community members
Four schools in two school districts participated in the Academy
The Academy went into classrooms to conduct experiments that focus on soil health
introduce students to the soil biome and provide students with the opportunity to learn how to construct and fill a Johnson-Su Bioreactor
The Upper Gila Watershed Alliance also held three “Climathons” in October 2022
4th and 5th grade students were encouraged to be changemakers and gain new skills and knowledge on how to create resilience in their community by composting
Fifty-six bioreactors have been built thus far and additional bioreactors are presently being installed on school campuses with the participation of students
These “food resilience labs” simultaneously address cafeteria food waste
approximately 40,000 pounds of food waste was diverted from the county’s landfill
Periodic thinning of local forests reduces the threat of forest fires while the by-products of the thinning process
produce a biomass waste stream for the Johnson-Su compost reactors
These activities were made possible by a grant program funded by the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation. Initiated by EPA
the grant program provides funding directly to community-based organizations to prepare for climate-related impacts

— The Silver City Volunteer Fire Department temporarily moved its operations outside the station to the top of the hill outside Mannford
“We want to give the public a little more of a comfort feeling that we’re out here and we’re doing everything we can to prevent that from happening again,” Silver Lake FD Chief Brett Whitten said
and critical conditions are expected on March 15
though virtually zero burn bans are in effect
WHY NO BURN BANS? >>> Click here to find out what 2 News learned
“All of our firefighters are all 100% volunteers
we don’t get paid a dime,” Chief Whittens aid
“Most of them are taking off work – vacation days – this weekend to actually be ready for the fires on Friday,”
because they don’t have as much knowledge as a lot of the firefighters that are out there all the time,” Miller said
“So I’m worried about them a lot of the time.”
2 News also listened to Assistant Chief Anthony Beard
Anthony splits his time between his private practice and fighting fires
and he was on the scene during the outbreak in late October 2024
and doing everything we can to get there and stop it.”
you never know what fire you’re gonna go to
So I love what I do ‘cause all of it gets to ultimately help people
It’s hard to do the things that need to be done to be a good fire department and a safe fire department,” Whitten said

Having just received clearance to begin operation
a new emergency warming center opened for the first time in the old Silver City Recreation Center off Gold Street
thanks to the town of Silver City’s work with the area’s Housing and Behavioral Health Task Force
so [Thursday] is our first night open,” said the director of the emergency warming center
“We have already had people pouring in with donations of blankets
in The Hub Plaza] is also operating as a donation center.”
There were four or five other volunteers working with Lindsey at the shelter Thursday afternoon
with others who were planning to come in later when they were available
“Our goal is to prevent local deaths due to hypothermia.”
Lindsey added that she is aware of at least four such deaths over the last two years
Those staffing the center were careful to make the distinction between a warming center and a sleep shelter
the building is not allowed to operate as an overnight sleep shelter
what the volunteers can provide is a place to get dry and wrap up in a blanket while getting a meal and something warm to drink
“People will be free to come and go as they please
but we will be here to provide a warm and safe place to get out of the cold,” Lindsey said
where the staff had organized the donations that have already been dropped off
there is also a TV available for a little entertainment
but as the overnight temperatures were expected to drop into the teens
they were expecting their first visitors later in the evening
and we plan to operate from 5 to 8 any time the weather dictates a need,” Lindsey said
and we are hoping to get more volunteers.”
There are also plans to add other services
but for now the organizers are happy to have a place where they can help vulnerable people in the community
“We will launder any clothing or blankets that are used and left behind after every use,” Lindsey said
“We really appreciate the outpouring of support from the community
We would also like to thank Patricia Cano for her efforts to continue working with the town of Silver City to make this possible.”
To volunteer or donate for the warming center
the task force can be contacted at 575-519-4322 or hbhtaskforce@gmail.com
Donations may also be dropped at the Mint Chip Creamery at 601 N
it’s hard not to wonder what 2025 has in store
We may ponder what the future holds for ourselves
our jobs — or maybe even the place we live in
facilitates in-person tarot readings at Silver City Mystic
on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m
she turned to her deck for some insight about what 2025 has in store for the town of Silver City
They began being used for divination purposes in the 18th century
when deeper meanings were assigned to each of the cards
Biondo has lived in Silver City for 17 years
and said she has read tarot cards professionally for a little more than a year and a half
“I’ve been an energy worker for the last 15 years
and found that reading tarot was very similar to reading how energy moves in the human body,” she said
she was invited to do readings at Silver City Mystic — a shop that specializes in spiritual interests
On the shelves one will find a selection of crystals
candles and various other items for metaphysically interested individuals
“People have come to connect with past loved ones
for support in important decisions in their lives
or simply to see what wants to come through,” she said
Biondo’s readings take place in a small room in the back of the shop
The space is decorated with a colorful tapestry
jars of herbs and an astrology-themed cloth over the table
on which rested 12 decks of cards of various sizes and patterns used in the reading
Biondo shuffled a card from one of the decks to determine the overall energy of the information soon to come
The card she placed was the “Beaver Spirit,” featuring the words “lay a solid foundation.” The next card she shuffled onto the table
Biondo shuffled out five more cards from different decks and created a row on the table in front of her
On observation of the first row of cards she placed
Biondo said it looks like 2025 will be a healing year due to a collective effort to come to terms with the darker parts of ourselves
“Maybe you’re in a certain cycle for a really long time and if there are parts of ourselves that we’re not looking at or are stuffing away
or maybe we’re projecting them onto other people,” she said
“It’s not until we really confront the things inside of us that we come to that true strength place within ourselves
that we complete that cycle and we’re moving on into something different.”
Biondo said this self-confrontation is leading us into a stronger foundation for the year ahead
both on an individual level and for the community as a whole
“It’s like nothing can stay under the rug now — we have to feel the feels,” she said
and that’s what creates the strength and that’s what creates a solid foundation.”
Biondo said the upcoming year will not be entirely occupied by processing tough emotions
She said it seems this cycle of processing darker feelings is already far along
it takes all year to get to this,’” she said
After diving into the meaning of the first row of cards on the table
Biondo began shuffling cards to create a second row to shed more light on where all this processing will lead
The next row included cards that said “creation,” “self-reflection,” “generosity” and “realization.”
Biondo said the reading showed that Silver City
is moving into a new potential for creativity through the reflection we have done
and I feel like this next row is kind of giving us more about that
because we’re getting a lot of really positive cards,” she said
After further analysis of the second row of cards in addition to the ones placed earlier
Biondo said she sensed more kindness in the next year due to self-reflection and tough confrontation of darker feelings
“If we’re not at peace with ourselves and we’re
we’re kind of avoiding those locked closets
it’s really easy to project it out onto other people and to blame them and to just spend all your time pointing fingers at everybody else,” she said
“But when you bring it back home and you think you have that peace within yourself
you’re able to be generous and compassionate.”
Biondo said that the individual actions of residents throughout the town will affect the area as a whole
“It seems like a lot of people have done a lot of shadow work and a lot of deep dives into their grief and their longing and their feelings of regret and loss
and that there’s been a completion in that
and everybody individually doing that within themselves has kind of turned the wheel,” she said
Biondo summarized what she had seen so far as an expansion of new horizons
realizations and ideas for our town in 2025
Biondo said she would pull one more card to provide a concluding message
She picked up one of the decks sitting next to her and shuffled until a red card
displaying the word “courage,” was placed on the table above the previous two rows of cards
Biondo explained the meaning of the message of courage in relation to what had already come through to her
“Where we want to go is through the dark — through the confrontation within us of what we don’t want to see
and having the courage to do that,” she said
Whether you are a firm believer in tarot card readings or skeptical about the concept
the ideas of healing and entering the new year with more compassion and creativity would seem to set 2025 off to a positive start for our community
“There’s depth to this reading for our town,” Biondo said
Three homes were destroyed this morning and the entire city of Bayard thrust into darkness after an early morning fire on East Street that brought in firefighters from across the county
Bayard Police Chief Hector Carrillo told the Daily Press that the fire was reported at 4:04 a.m
and Bayard police were assisted by Santa Clara officers in evacuating the block around the blaze
The Santa Clara armory was opened to shelter evacuees
although Carrillo said many of those forced from their homes wanted to remain close by
“I have one of the evacuees in my unit right now who’s not ready to go to the shelter,” he said
Flames were largely extinguished by 6 a.m.
just as concerns were raised about a potential shortage of city water
due in part to ongoing maintenance to the water system
“I think we just ran out of water,” Bayard Mayor Larry Ojinaga told the Daily Press at 5:30
“we’ve been working on the tank for a couple of months.”
The mayor said area fire departments responding to the fire were assisting by trucking in tanks of water
and the city’s booster pumps were operating
Bayard officials emphasized that at no time had the city actually been without water
don’t use the water,” a Fort Bayard Volunteeer Fire and Rescue firefighter told his comrades on Pearl Street just before 6
just before flames reappeared in the smoldering wreckage of one of the homes
The fires also charred a primary power line running along Pearl Street behind the homes
cutting power to the entire city — 11,000 customers at its peak
PNM spokesperson Kelly Huber told the Daily Press at 6:40 a.m
that power had just been restored to much of the city
including the schools and Tom Foy Boulevard
and only 525 customers in the eastern portion of Bayard remained without service
“We have crews on site in Silver City
and they’re working to isolate the line so they can get as many customers back on,” Huber said
“Probably in the next 45 minutes they’re hoping to get at least 450 — all but like 50 customers back on
and they’re going to try to make that even more.”
The restoration of some power came about 30 minutes after Cobre Consolidated Schools officials announced a two-hour delay for students at Bayard Elementary
all of which had been darkened by the original outage
While schools were slated to open at 10 a.m.
the lack of power at the district’s central office
located on Central Avenue just blocks from the location of the fire
meant that facilities across the district were without phone or internet service
Bayard Magistrate Court also announced a two-hour delay for the magistrate courthouse on Central Avenue

One person is dead after crashing into a Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) employee on State Route 342 near Silver City on Thursday morning
troopers with Nevada State Police responded to the area of the Lyon and Storey County line on the report of a crash involving two cars
Investigators determined a Kia Sorento was traveling northbound when they veered into the southbound lane
The driver of the Kia died on scene and the NDOT employee remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation
The person killed has not yet been identified
The roadway was shut down in both directions for several hours while crews cleared the scene
Just south of the Menomonee River Valley and west of the Mitchell Park Domes are Milwaukee’s National Park and Silver City neighborhoods
Ever since listener Brandon Payton-Carrillo moved to National Park from Bay View in 2020
he’s been curious about the area’s history
Payton-Carrillo realized his neighborhood was home to an amusement park in the late 19th century
“I want to know more about what this park was like,” he says
I contacted Milwaukee historian John Gurda looking for answers
some background on the Silver City neighborhood
“That became a very German neighborhood in the later 1800s
it became so industrial that it attracted a lot of industrial immigrants
the early days of industrialization there—1890s and so—you weren’t paid by direct deposit
these guys—whenever payday was—they’d get paid
and the counters would just be awash in silver
I think the legend is somebody walked into one of the saloons and said
‘This must be Silver City’—because of all the coins on the table
So that’s where ‘Silver City’ came from,” he says
When factory workers and machinists from Harnischfeger
and the Milwaukee Road Shops weren’t spending their silver at the saloon
when two local promoters bought a 44-acre tract of land at what is now 27th and National
“You also had the Scottish Highland Games were out there
National Park was big enough to host fox hunts in the woods—despite objections from the Milwaukee Humane Society
the park’s crown jewel was built: Milwaukee’s very first roller coaster
Guests could pay a nickel for two rickety rides around the coaster’s 500-foot latticework loop
One Milwaukee Sentinel reporter who gave it a spin wrote
“The sensation produced by the first ride is gone-ness
When the car reaches the last dip in the track
which sends it to the starting point again.”
it was a kind of adrenaline back in 1885,” Gurda says
the park’s 16-year joyride had run its course
a couple of East Side entrepreneurs bought the entire parcel and announced that they would plan to
They’re all very early 1900s—turn of the 20th century,” Gurda says
Which brings us back to Bubbler Talk question-asker Brandon Payton-Carrillo
“My house is one of the last houses that was built in the neighborhood
This house is 100 years old this year,” Payton-Carrillo says
Silver City is known for its diverse food scene and access to the Menomonee Valley—via Three Bridges Park
Payton-Carrillo hopes to make Silver City a neighborhood also known for its music scene
He’s a musician and the organizer of Otoñofest
Milwaukee’s first ever Latin Alternative music festival

The 38th annual Tour of the Gila returns to Silver City April 23rd-27th
about some of the highlights of this year’s tour
talk about what is new about this year's Tour of the Gila
there's a couple of really exciting things we're doing
we've actually kind of mixed up the stages of this year's Tour of the Gila
the first day will actually be our Tyrone time trial
only the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) men's teams and the UCI women's teams will be racing
The amateurs will not be participating in this event
we got feedback that the riders would prefer to do road
and what we came up with is doing the time trial first
time trials are very expensive to be involved with
And so that's one of the things that was concerning about on the amateur side: some folks are very wealthy
Time trial bikes are great: they go straight really fast
Another thing that happened leading up to the race is we've been able to find some funding
additional funding to hire a media production company out of California
So they'll be on site all five days of the race
and we'll have the people filming on motorcycles
We have a photographer--and this is for the UCI Men's and women's race again--and the production company will be doing a daily social media update for us
They'll also be doing daily video recaps for the race
And then they'll be doing an after-race video production
and that final piece will be shown on outside TV
this year the race is also partnered with Moné bikes
Tell us about that and the contest to win one of their bikes
his name is Cjell Moné--not his real name--and he's an incredible cyclist
He actually has come through Silver City many
and he did it from riding from South to North
and Cjell participated in this event a number of years
And over the course of the last couple of years
can we partner with you on perhaps giving them a bike away
and it's named after the last town in New Mexico you go through before you reach the New Mexico border
you have to be an entered cyclist in the Tour of the Gila in the amateur race
So every amateur that is entered in the race will have a chance to win the Hachita frame
And we'll do the presentation of that at the Saturday downtown Crit (Criterium) between after the women's UCI race and before the UCI men's race
That'll probably occur right around 3:00 in the afternoon
Let's talk about some of the race highlights
We'll break it down day by day with the highlights and road closures
And the racing starts with the UCI men going off around 9:00
the UCI women take their turn on the 16.1-mile course
and you head south towards Lordsburg about eight miles
And the New Mexico DOT and New Mexico State Highway Police Department for a road closure on that road: since this is the UCI race
UCI requires that all their time trials--actually
and they require a total road closure for a time trial
which is the road from Silver City to Lordsburg
and the first closure will occur down by Lordsburg at the intersection of New Mexico 90 and US 170 at 8:15 (a.m.)
And we have an early closure because people can still get on the road before 8:15 and then make their way up to Silver City and avoid the closure here
And then the closure at Tyrone starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 12:30 PM
What's happened this year is we've attracted quite a number of professional teams
We've got 21 men's teams coming for the UCI men's race
and we have 13 women's teams coming for the women's UCI race
And last year I think we had 15 men's teams
So we got quite a few international teams coming
So it's really nice international flavor of cyclists coming into Silver City
and we kind of have a two mile parade movement of the racers through Silver City and then up Market Street
And once they get to the top of Market Street
So once all the racers--and this is again the UCI men and women racing that day
and then we have two amateur fields racing that day
We have the men's 1-2 race and the men's 3 race also participating that day
And it's a fairly flat race course between Silver City
You head out of Glenwood and then you take the road up to the ghost town of Mogollon
and we'll take probably an hour to race those seven miles of racing
and it's one of the races in North America that has that iconic status
What will be the highlights and closures then
There we have what we call the Inner Loop Road Race
And most of the races will be starting at Fort Bayard
but we'll have three races starting up in Pinos Altos; again three more amateur fields will be starting that day
So we have three fields starting around 8:00 in Pinos Altos
we've been working with the DOT and the state police and Grant County Sheriff's (Dept.) on this
there's not even a center line on the road
So we've been doing this road closure for years for the protection of cyclists
and that road closure will occur from 7:30 in the morning until noon
and the closure occurs from what we call the Y in Pinos Altos
It's basically where New Mexico Highway 15 meets Main St.
which is the street coming down from Pinos Altos
And it goes out to the intersection of New Mexico 35 and 15
You have a lot of climbing up to Pinos Altos
you get into the mountains and a lot of descending more climbing
then you descend down into the into the Sapillo Creek
And so there's a lot of movement in all the races throughout that stretch of Rd
especially on the UCI men's and women's side
So you're you drop down to the Sapillo Creek area
And then from there you cross over the Continental Divide and then you have a really fast descent
but you you're going down the Mimbres Valley
you come out of Mimbres on New Mexico 152 and there's more climbing
But again the races stay pretty much together
And one of the beautiful things about this race is that the men's UCI
And so when the UCI men come out of the mountains and come into Hanover
they take a left-hand turn and go through Bayard
We've been going through Bayard pretty much for the last 10-12 years since we've been on the UCI calendar
And then they turned back on to 180 and then head back towards Fort Bayard
And I'm usually out at the intersection of New Mexico 152 and US 180
just waiting for the UCI men to come towards us
The first thing you see on this race is that you see the state police cars with their lights flashing and such
And there will be a field of about 100 guys coming through
and they're getting themselves all the teams
So what the teams have been doing all day long is protecting their sprinters
And so they put other teammates around the sprinters that keep them out of the wind
That's what's happening here is all these teams are jockeying for positions that get up to the front to release their sprinters in Fort Bayard
So it's always been a sprint finish and an incredible event to see
And another event is on the 4th day; the Criterium
the downtown Silver City Criterium on the 26th
It's when our community can come down and watch racing
We show up about 5:30 in the morning to start putting things together for that race
We turn downtown Silver City into a race course and we start racing at 8:00
getting all the fencing situated where it has to be and all everybody in place to start racing
So we start racing with the amateur fields
and we progress through the amateurs until about 12:30 and then the citizens take over
anybody in your listening audience who are cyclists and/or have kids
And the kids' races kick off with the three- and four-year-olds
And we invite the three- and four-year-olds and their parents to come out onto the street and we walk them a block down from 6th St
And they're looking around and all the people are clapping and ringing the cowbells
the most special part of the entire week of Tour of the Gila is watching the three-year old boys and girls making their way back to the finish line with a lot of screaming and a lot of cheering for these kids
Then we progress through different age groups
and we get done with adults doing a race around downtown Silver City
Their race will start around 1:30 and finish up around 3:00 or so
We'll do the Moné bike presentation about that time and the UCI men will start at 3:15 and finish off the day of racing in downtown
finally it concludes on Sunday the 27th with the Gila Monster Road Race
It's considered the best one-day road race for men in America
but in reverse; where we take off from Silver City
The UCI men take off from that intersection
dangerous descent into the Gila River; and they flip it at the visitor’s center
It's going to take them 40 minutes or so to climb that thing
and then descend down to the Sapillo Creek again and then climb up the Sapillo and then make their way back into Pinos Altos
what they do is they come up the Mimbres Valley
When they get to the intersection of 15 and 35
and it's a two mile climb with 1000 feet of climbing
And then you get back into the Ponderosa pines
and it's an incredible great finish to finish off the tour of the Tour of the Gila in Pinos Altos
And that day we do have a road closure again on New Mexico 15
and that closure is going to be at the same locations as before at the Y and Pinos Altos again
That's where New Mexico 15 intersects with Main Street
and it will go and then to the bottom of the Sapillo at the intersection of 15 and 35
And then that closure will be occurring from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM
what makes the Tour of the Gila so special and so popular year after year with cyclists
The community comes together to support this race
We're the only UCI stage race left in North America right now
There's other one day UCI races but not a five-day stage race
so you have a community of 10,000 people putting on the best race in North America
And what I always tell people is that our roads here have not been redesigned and redone like in
And great kudos to the New Mexico DOT for doing all they can to do the best they can to keep these roads in great shape for us And they'll be out on the roads two weeks before the race
making sure that all of the cattle guards are pinned together
all that needs to be done to put on this incredible race
So kudos to all of us that live in Grant County for putting this thing on
TAUNTON — The city's Veterans Department put up a dominant performance in the season finale of Silver City Password
cruising to victory with inspired guesses of "yolk," "poor," and "voicemail."
Silver City Password is a game show hosted by Taunton Community Access Television that puts nonprofits and city departments in competition
The winners of the game show receive trophies and bragging rights
The show follows the same rules as the popular old NBC gameshow Password
with a contestant being handed a mystery word
That player's teammate has to guess the word based on single-word clues
“I’m here to win," Taunton's Director of Veterans Services Ally Rodriguez said at the start of the final episode of Season 4
who also works in the Veterans Services department
Four teams reached the finale of Silver City PasswordIn addition to the Veterans Department
the other three teams who competed in the season 4 finale of Silver City Password were local nonprofits including Learn to Cope
Patty Conant and Eileen Ruhl represented Learn to Cope
which supports families dealing with substance abuse
Kyra Fernandez and Kara Civale represented Taunton Diversity Network, which runs several programs such as a cultural fair, according to the organization's website
Wendy Berry and Debbie Garnett represented Taunton Area Community Table
which provides free meals at their 378 Bay St
“These four teams are fighting for the championship of season four," Silver City Password host Steve Turner said
The Veterans Department got off to a slow start during the season finale of Season 4
but got their first points when Rodriguez correctly guessed the word "yolk" in response to the clues of "egg" and "yellow."
Rodriguez then took the lead over the other teams with an inspired guess of "poor" in response to the clue of "rich" from her teammate Allard
as the spelling of the password was "pour" rather than "poor," and Ruhl from Learn to Cope threw a challenge flag to challenge the result
Host Steve Turner clarified that "poor" was a valid answer
because under the rules of the game its the pronunciation of the words that matter
Rodriguez closed out the final episode with the correct guess of "voicemail" in response to the clues of "message" and "phone."
"I get to keep my job," Allard joked after her team won
“The fight that you put up for those veterans is second to none," Turner said of Rodriguez and Allard
