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

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

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 Juno Ogle may be reached at juno@scdaily

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

attending events and classes at the space or utilizing the space 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

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."
