Lisa Lucca talks with expert hand analyst Pamelah Landers about the map in your hands that can lead you to discover your gifts and strengths.
Today we have our candidate for for County Commission races in Districts 4 and 5.
From 8 to 8:30 we'll talk to incumbent Commissioner Manuel Sanchez, District 5, whose opponent, Robert Bruce Flora, has declined to participate. From 8:30 - 9 we talk music with Camerata del Sol, having enjoyed a couple of driveway concerts (as well as normal concerts when those were still realities). We talk about what the group is, how it differs from the Symphony, how to arrange driveway concerts, and other questions -- with violinist Amalia Zeitlin and Artistic Director Daniel Vega-Albela. At 9 we talk with District 4 candidates Susie Chaparro and Stacie Michelle Durham. Libertarian Party candidate, Buck Bonner was invited did not attend. Finally at 9:40 a Cruces Coronavirus Update and other issues. As a general rule, I think elections are better than appointments, and more perspectives are better than fewer. And so, the proposed constitutional amendment to reform the state’s Public Regulation Commission comes to the plate with two strikes against it in my scorebook.
Constitutional Amendment 1 on this year’s ballot would replace the current PRC, which has five elected members, with a three-member board appointed by the governor. Each member would serve a six-year term, meaning some would remain in office longer than the governor who appointed them. A new PRC Nominating Committee would screen applicants for the board, hopefully ensuring that only knowledgeable and experienced candidates made it to the governor’s office for final consideration. In this special edition of Cafe con Leche, Nan Rubin joins Stuart Kelter, host of Delving In on Sunday mornings, for a joint conversation with Rabbi Larry Karol. Rabbi Karol recently retired from Congregation Beth El in Las Cruces, after serving as the rabbi there for nine years. We asked him about his interfaith work, his activities serving as rabbi of this small Jewish congregation, and his thoughts about the changes in Las Cruces. Cafe Con Leche Tuesdays at 8:00 a.m. and again at midnight. Delving In can be heard at 9:00 on Sunday mornings.
Host MaryAnn Digman and Nicole Martinez, the Executive Director of the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, Abode, Inc. discuss how the COVID 19 Pandemic is affecting our homeless and near homeless neighbors. The breadth of services that are available through the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope as well as the precautions that are being taken to protect our vulnerable homeless population are explained. Under Nicole’s leadership, many changes have been made in the way services are being provided to protect the clients, staff and volunteers. Nicole outlined the contingency plans to be implemented should someone in Camp Hope or otherwise homeless become positive for COVID 19. Nicole’s messages for our community are that there are services available for those who may need temporary rent/utility assistance and that it is ultimately better for all concerned for people to have a safe and protective place to live.

Rev. Xolani Kacela and Dr. Paul O'Connell discussed O'Connell's early religious life and his current
membership and involvement at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Las Cruces. They also talked about forest management, economics (to include distinctions between Keynesian and supply side theory), and took an in-depth look at how economic policies affect the Americans' lives, especially people of faith, and they can respond to make change happen. Lisa Lucca talks with Las Cruces spiritual leader and teacher, Oscar Perez, about his journey on the Toltec path and the power of taking responsibility for your life. Hosts Peter Goodman and Walt Rubel talk the first hour with local political candidates: with incumbent County Clerk Amanda Lopez Askin and her challenger, Cheryl DeYoung at 8, then at 8:30 with incumbent County Treasurer Eric Rodriguez and his challenger, Bernadette A. Dorazio. We'll ask each candidate to make a brief opening statement, then will ask them pertinent questions.

Athletes can only draw attention to the problem. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947, but change came slower to Birmingham, Alabama. The minor league Birmingham Barons played in the Southern Association, which had just one black player in its history. Nat Peeples played in two games for the Atlanta Crackers in 1954. The Southern Association went under in 1961. After two years without baseball, the Barons were ready to make their return. But there was a problem. All of the leagues by then were integrated. In Birmingham, segregation was more than just tradition. It was the law. The so-called “checkers law” made it a crime for blacks and whites to compete against each other.
Wolves, mountain lions, coyotes--this week host Kevin Bixby discusses all things carnivores with his guests Adrian Treves, director and founder of the Carnivore Coexistence Lab at the University of Wisconsin--Madison, and Dave Parsons, carnivore conservation biologist for The Rewilding Institute. Listen in as they cover such topics as why hunting of carnivores is allowed even though most people don't eat them and the general public disapproves, and how carnivore management reveals the flaws in the status quo of wildlife management in the U.S.
