And in backpacks and teddy bears, scholarships and airplanes, football helmets and children who might decide to sit beside the kid who is alone, the Carneros are determined that something else will remain. Thankful to Janel Carnero for her willingness to talk through painful experiences so we can share the love of Chris.

Chris Carnero didn’t think a Thanksgiving basket was complete just because it had everything needed for Thanksgiving dinner. Kids liked mac and cheese. They should have mac and cheese, and Dr Pepper. Chris loved Dr. Pepper, so it seemed entirely...

From Las Cruces Mayor Pro Tem John Munoz: This is not a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. It is a community issue, a life‑and‑death issue because in Las Cruces, especially young people are being killed, injured, and permanently maimed. As our city grows, we confront the reality of how guns move through our community.

Gun violence is not a single problem with a single cause. It is a pattern, a predictable convergence of behaviors, access points, and environmental conditions. And because the pattern is predictable, the consequences are predictable. That means...

The seasons are beginning their transformation, and almost naturally, so do we. Our appetite begins to shift. We start thinking less about the foods that cool us down and more about the foods that warm us from within. Inside the Kitchen with Las Cruces Convention Center executive chef Armando Murillo.

September arrives with a wind of change. There comes a day in September when you step outside and feel it. A breeze moves through, but it is not the same breeze of summer. It is cooler, a little crisper, carrying that refreshing scent that...

Adrian Aguirre’s work centers largely on immigration and displacement and the people whose lives can disappear inside the political arguments surrounding both. His paintings have taken him from encounters with day laborers to migrant camps and now to the unfinished mural taking shape in his studio. That body of work recently earned Aguirre one of New Mexico’s most significant arts honors.

Adrián Aguirre’s latest work stretched partially completed along a wall as he sat in his Las Cruces studio and talked about where his passion began. It was not in a studio nor even with the idea that he might someday become an artist. Aguirre...

Following a back-and-forth first half in which the Aggies outgained the Lakers 218 to 208, NMSU came out of the locker room with a different level of aggression. In the second half of the game, the Aggies outgained Mercyhurst by a total of 335 to 29.

NM State Football returned to action at Aggie Memorial Stadium on Saturday night, marking their first home game of the season following a Week 0 trip to Tallahassee. The Aggie offense recorded an astounding day on the turn, posting 553 yards of...

For months, residents speaking before the Las Cruces City Council have raised concerns about lead and the city’s water system, questioning how Las Cruces Utilities is inspecting water lines, why some initial findings have changed and what is happening with $15 million secured for lead service line work.
Utilities officials say an important distinction has been lost in some of that discussion: So far, they have not found a lead service line.

Raising sheep doesn’t stop when school gets out for Parker Howard. His afternoons bring another set of responsibilities — feeding, leg care, conditioning and repeated practice with animals that depend on him.
