Local NewsCounty Offices to Reopen on Fridays
(Deming) – After being closed on Fridays for a little over a year, Luna County’s administrative offices will reopen to the public on Fridays beginning this Friday August 17th. The Luna County Commissioners voted 2-1 last month to have the county revert to a five-day work-week. Commissioner Linda Smrkovsky voted against the change. The county has been operating on a four-day work-week since June 26th, 2017, but commissioners reported continued complaints from residents and business owners who needed to conduct business with the county on Fridays. Under the updated schedule, county offices will be open 8:00 until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday except for holidays starting this Friday August 17th. LUNA COUNTY 4-H ROASTED LOCAL CHILE FOR SALE DURING DUCK RACE (Deming) - Members of Luna County 4-H will be roasting locally produced green chile during the 39th annual Great American Duck Race weekend, Saturday, August 25th and Sunday, August 26th. 4-H members will be at the Luna County Extension Office, 210 Suite B on Poplar Street, across from the historic Luna County Courthouse. Roasted and sacked chile is $25 and roasted and ready for freezer chile is $35. Each sack weighs approximately 35 pounds. The Luna County 4-H has been an award-winning organization at the state level and a contender at the national level in recent years. They recently brought home state championships in Agronomy, Wildlife Habitat Evaluation, Land, Horticulture, and Entomology. The chile roasting will help supplement the many civic-minded and charitable causes that members of the Luna County 4-H implement annually in the communities of Deming and Luna County. The chile sacks are 35 pounds and come courtesy of Penn Farms.

State Weather: Look for an increased shower and thunderstorm coverage through Thursday as moisture gradually increases over the area, with the northeast quarter favored for strong storms and locally heavy rainfall. Storms will trend up further as we get toward the weekend, especially across eastern New Mexico, as a disturbance moves east out of the southern Rockies, and a cold front moves into the eastern plains. The front coming in on Sunday will provide some cooling going into early next week. An active thunderstorm pattern will persist into early next week, except across northwest New Mexico where a drier atmosphere will prevail as high pressure strengthens over Arizona and Utah.
