It looks unreal, doesn’t it? I drove that way a couple of weeks ago… along I-10 between LC and Deming, I really thought for a second that the desert was being used to grow some kind of crop… it was that uniformly green.

Quinn, I’ve kinda always considered Gwyn and Lori to be more editorial than straight up reportage, but you definitely have a point.

Melissa: I didn’t include Jim because he’s not full-time, or even daily (since, if I recall, he’s off on Fridays). Then again, it should be noted that Jim does more journalism in three hours than most reporters can accomplish in eight.

Regarding turnover at the Silver City Daily Press, you forgot to mention Jim Owen, who has been a reporter at the Daily Press for years - I believe he is still there.

A request for a special membership meeting, with 49 signatures, was sent to the Secretary of the Chamber board:

“Pursuant to New Mexico Statute Chapter 53, Article 8 section 13 – C Meetings of Members, and as specified in the by-laws, Article V – B, we, the undersigned, as members in good standing of the Silver City Grant County Chamber of Commerce, hereby request a Special Membership meeting be called as soon as is practical, and not more than 30 days from the date this notice is delivered.

The stated purpose of this meeting is to allow the membership to discuss the Board actions relating to the request for leave of absence by the Executive Director, Nicole Robbins. It is also to consider the possible removal of the entire Board of Directors by a membership vote. Additional agenda items will be submitted by the Chamber Membership as they see fit. An agenda will be distributed to Chamber Members at least five days prior to the scheduled meeting.

A location will be chosen by the Secretary that will allow for the attendance of at least 50 percent of the current paid membership.”

It is my understanding that the effort to recall the Chamber board will continue even if Nicole is not reinstated or chooses not to return. A lot of people are *very* upset over this issue and feel that the Board is ‘tone deaf’ in failing to recognize how their actions are viewed by Chamber members and the general public– just as they did during the relocation of the Farmers Market a couple of years ago, as well as the firing of April Weitlauf (another one of the 6 directors the Chamber has had in the past 5 years).
