DEMING – An Oklahoma woman was killed in a one-vehicle rollover crash Thursday afternoon in southern Luna County.
A New Mexico State Police report said 63-year-old Maria Segovia De Talamantes of Oklahoma sustained fatal injuries in the crash that occurred on State Road 9, near mile post 98, east of Columbus, at about 2:25 p.m. Thursday, June 10th. The initial investigation indicated a 2016 Toyota Tacoma pickup, driven by a 59-year-old woman from Oklahoma, was traveling west on State Road 9. For reasons still under investigation, the Toyota left the roadway and rolled. The driver sustained unknown injuries and was transported by air to University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas. A second passenger – a 16-year-old boy from Mexico – was ejected from the vehicle. He, too, was transported by air to University Medical Center in El Paso. The report said fatigue appeared to be a factor in the crash and seatbelts were not properly utilized. Alcohol was not a factor. Senior Volunteers Needed
DEMING – The Deming Luna County Senior Center is set to reopen the dining room July 1st, and volunteers are needed.
Executive Director Julie Bolton said the number of diners will be limited to 60 and health department guidelines will be followed. Before the pandemic, Bolton said the typical number of diners was 130-140 per day. She said the planned reopening means servers and hosts or hostesses will be needed to welcome diners. Plus, she said, volunteers are needed to help with meal delivery, hosting, educating and more at the center’s 12 stations throughout Luna County. Those stations include the museum, art center, homeless shelter, Deming Helping Hand thrift store, visitor’s center, no-kill animal shelter, Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, and more. The volunteer program, sponsored by AmeriCorps Seniors, is open to anyone 55 or older. Before the pandemic, the center had about 150 active volunteers. Since then, Bolton said that number has dwindled to only 43. -continue 
Two of the center’s longtime volunteers, Ruth Ann and Bob Glover, encourage people to volunteer, saying it’s rewarding.
They have continued to volunteer for the center throughout the pandemic by delivering meals to those who could not get out. The Glovers have been volunteering for the center for about 18 years, delivering meals, manning the snack bar, helping in the exercise room, and working during bingo games. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Bolton or Volunteer Program Manager Alexandra Acosta-Cordova by calling 575-546-8823. Local Crime Report
