Las Cruces Bulletin writer Mike Cook gave a recap of the week's news and previewed upcoming events as he highlighted articles in the latest edition of the newspaper. He also talked with J. R. Turner and Grand Marshall Herbert Gay about this year's Veterans Day Parade.
A new arrival to Las Cruces recently asked me who the local leaders were for the two political parties. I had no problem directing him to several people who can speak for the Democratic Party, but I’m not sure who speaks for the local Republican Party. It’s not the leaders.
GOP County Chairwoman Kim Skaggs and 1st Vice Chair Richelle Peugh-Swafford were both candidates for the Legislature in this week’s midterm election. Both declined invitations to appear on candidate forums I co-hosted on KTAL-LP community radio. So, their opponents had that time uncontested. Don Kurtz talks about Kevin McIlvoy, the late writer, teacher, and friend of many Las Crucens. A memorial, Remembering Kevin McIlvoy, will be taking place on Tuesday, November 15 at 7:00 PM on the NMSU campus, at Domenici Hall.
Joe Roach will discuss Russia, Ukraine, and Putin’s nuclear blackmail efforts. Mr. Roach is our resident Russia expert, based on academic study, teaching, and extensive interaction with Russia in business and other contexts.
Former NMSU government professor, Christa Slaton, will discuss her upcoming presentations as part of the Academy of Learning in Retirement as well as the recent election, the electoral college, and the vagaries of the United States political system.

Stuart welcomes us to a delightful stroll through some meaningful aspects of religions, world history, and our lives today.  I talk with JournalofExpressiveWriting.com and womenswritingcircle.com founder and facilitator Jen Minotti about her journey to creating meaningful online communities
