According to the woman’s grandson, family members called 911 to report that she was undergoing a mental health crisis, and they needed help. Instead of professional assistance, their call for help resulted in her death. The Las Cruces Public Schools has a special department: Bilingual Education, Translation and Interpretation, and Community Outreach. The goal of the department is to remove any barriers for students who are English learners mastering academic content and a new language at the same time. They work with students and their families together to help them receive equitable access to social support, enrichment opportunities, and services for growth of the entire family. Outreach Coordinator Blanca Ontiveros and Karina Herrera will be Nan Rubin’s guests in the studio to share information about this program critical to LCPS students who speak more than one dozen languages.
Think Again welcomes Gabriel Rochelle for a conversation based on his recent Las Cruces Sun-News column entitled "Facing the Spiritual Trials of Retirement" and touches on internal and external processes that often arise in the retirement phase of one's life. Considerations include: How do we relate to our new identity and sense of self? Without a job and a title, who am I? What am I going to do now with my new relationship to time? The exploration peeks briefly at mortality, eldership, our changing public persona, and our sense of purpose, meaning and relevance.
