100% Otero, a local grassroots nonprofit dedicated to eliminating childhood trauma in Otero County, invites county residents to attend a community summit on Friday, February 21, 2025, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the CHRISTUS Health Conference Center, Building K, 2669 N Scenic Drive, Alamogordo, New Mexico.
This summit is for those interested in learning more about the 100% Otero initiative, elected officials and community members. The emphasis will be on how we can all work together to prevent childhood trauma. Individuals will gather to network, teambuild, learn and brainstorm. The event is free for participants and lunch will be provided by 100% Otero and the Anna Age Eight Institute.
Register at https://www.100nm.org/otero/summit/ by Monday, February 17, 2025 to your space.
Deb Wisniewski, emeritus faculty of the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) Institute, will be the keynote speaker and facilitator. She will help attendees strengthen collaboration across service sectors, improve the alignment of our work, and reinforce connections among county residents. We will reflect on the power of moving from a mentality of scarcity to the recognition that our community has the building blocks necessary to make every childhood trauma-free, with families empowered to succeed in well-resourced schools and communities.

Sunny, with a high of 74 and low of 46 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
New sidewalks for some neighborhoods. What about the Walker area that is also in her district. Seeing is believing, Walker area has always been ignored.
Have you ever messaged her about it, or are you just complaining to complain? Her actions speak louder than all the other commissioners combined.
She championed and approved $12 million dollars worth of Water system upgrades for walker road and yet you choose to ignore that. It is in the design phase with contract bidding to be announed in early 2026 with work to begin in later spring. That is the largest capital investment in Walker Road in over 50 years.
Did anyone see what Senator Charles Grassley is saying about AI yesterday. What does that have to do with this? It might explain why legal systems in many cities are such a mess.
But also: Why is no one talking about the DISMAL low income housing in Alamogordo, and the need to investigate what is going on in those places, and the lack of housing for homeless???????????
three responses:
"I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power...power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." ~ Lord Acton
It is interesting as you delve into the family, business and indeed religious connections that are intertwined in city politics. Some folks have a whole lit of fleas scratching the dog.
Absolutely true lots of fleas itching the dog!!
I somehow got logged out without doing so since last time I was here. I wanted to view the Flickinger meeting on Facebook but cannot because my account was taken down. I do not attend these public events because of all the attempts to mess with my life already.
two observations:
Absolutely. I would say those are conservative numbers at 1 in 40. The quickest way to become wealthy in America is to enter politics. I would say Miss McDonald is 1 in a 109. The family fun center fiasco is a true memorial to what nepotism and back room dealing will get you.
PBS was relevant.
NPR and PBS were definitely relevant - which is precisely why the trump regime has scuttled them...we have truly entered the era of alternative "truth".
