We continued our discussion from last week on the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Dave Chapman, a former VP for the IT company Fujitsu Global and an expert on cyber security and international business relations, and Joe Roach, a professor emeritus of Russian history and former consultant to U.S. companies doing business in Russia. Dave was originally scheduled to be on the show last week, but postponed to allow time for other panelists.
Nancy Sharp and Dawn Duncan will discuss Animal Companions of Las Cruces, an effort to bring 24-hour emergency veterinary services to Las Cruces.
Meg Goehring, an associate professor of art history at NMSU, will discuss her upcoming presentation for the Academy for Learning in Retirement about 15th century Dutch painter Hieronymous Bosch.
Walt and Peter talked about city development, a new KTAL show, elections and other items.
On Jan. 29, a convoy of ticked-off truckers rolling across Canada reached its final destination, Parliament Hill in the capital city of Ottawa.
They proceeded to use their trucks to shut down the core of the downtown area to all incoming traffic. They disobeyed police orders, ignored the law and effectively took over as occupiers of that part of the city.  Nan Rubin’s guest in the studio was Diego Medina. Diego is a member of the Piro-Manso-Tiwa tribe, an artist, poet, historian, and educator whose family is one of the original Native families from the historic Mesquite district in downtown Las Cruces. As an artist, Diego’s work illustrates intricate metaphors that combine cultural knowledge and ancestral wisdom with fantasy and poetics. Diego also creates cartographical illustrations that combine ecological and cosmological knowledge with the process of prayer. In addition to creating art, Diego has a deep passion for archival research and borderlands Indigenous history.
Our guest today, Phame Camarena (Dean of NMSU Honors College) opens a window to understanding the principles and practices of the Honors Program. He touches on the values that inform and drive the program, and how he personally approaches the processes of critical thinking and learning. He explores how we think about our thinking, and how that examination can help shape and inform both the perspectives and cognitive processes of students and our community.
Stuart Kelter interviews Weldon Lamb, a retired adjunct NMSU anthropology professor, specializing in Maya astronomy, calendrics and hieroglyphic writing. He has also taught classes in religious studies and sociology. Today’s interview focuses on the role that human sacrifice played in Maya and other Mesoamerican cultures. Although for the most part we will be avoiding the gory details, listener discretion is advised.
Take on Faith host Rev. Carolyn Wilkins and Rev. Bonny Allen Rice, retired minister and chaplain, discuss the power of prayer and faith during the Season of Lent, war in the Ukraine and personal loss during COVID.
Las Cruces Bulletin publisher Richard Coltharp and writer Mike Cook recap the week's news and preview some upcoming events as they highlight some of the articles in the latest edition of the newspaper.
We discussed the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Borys Drach, an NMSU processor who is also a Ukrainian citizen with family and friends still living there; Neal Rosendorf, a professor in the NMSU Department of Government who has studied and written about U.S.-Russian relations; Nathan Brooks, an associate professor at NMSU and Wilson Center scholar who did a project on Russian society; Joe Roach, a professor emeritus at Bradley University and consultant to U.S. companies doing business in Russia who earned his doctorate in Russian history; and Dave Chapman, a former VP for the IT company Fujitsu Global and an expert on cyber security and international business relations.
Dr. Bobbie Green, president of the NAACP of Dona Ana County, discussed the recent nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, if confirmed by the Senate.
Walt and Peter discussed items in the news, including the latest developments in Ukraine and President Biden's State of the Union address.
The inability of the Las Cruces City Council to allocate federal relief funding in a way that is fair, efficient and transparent is concerning, not only for the more-than $10 million now in limbo but also for the future millions that will be coming our way as a result of federal bills for both pandemic relief and infrastructure.
Last week, the City Council put the brakes on plans to distribute $10.37 million it has received through the American Rescue Plan Act. And, as I write this, there is no agreement on how to move forward. |
