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 93 and low of 66 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear overnight.
Looks like her campaign will be generating a few skid marks in it's attempt to gain traction.
Another great Maryland dad.
the saddest part of this story is that we will punish the guy who was hired to do the smuggling - instead of the person(s) who PAID him to do so.
They're catching the ring leaders as well, slowly but surely.
But I'd be interested to know what industries you think might be willing to pay $15k - $20k per person for unskilled labor that they're also at risk of losing to deportation, before getting a single days work out of them?
an extremely sad situation, in which one person was scared, and the other was killed - it is very difficult to imagine reconciling those two facts.
That wasn't fear. That was an extreme over kill... it is sad. And even sadder that anyone could possibly make any excuses for a piece of filth thinking he is above the law because he wears a badge... in fact to even come to that conclusion is sickening... shame on you.
by no means do i think - nor did i say - that the deputy is, somehow, above the law. my comment was simply observing that because he could not control his emotions, an innocent human being is dead...
and that is very sad situation.
