NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE
New Mexico coalition remains optimistic on nuke storage plan
(Information from: Hobbs News-Sun, http://www.hobbsnews.com)
HOBBS, N.M. (AP) — The head of a southeastern New Mexico coalition supporting plans to build a facility to temporary store spent nuclear fuel says supporters have around 18 months to go.
The Hobbs News-Sun reports Eddy Lea Energy Alliance Chairman John Heaton last week encouraged fellow board members to keep pushing for the proposed multimillion-dollar facility despite opposition from environmentalists and nuclear watchdog groups.
Heaton says a number of agencies are set in the coming months to release environmental and safety reports followed by hearings.
New Jersey-based Holtec International is seeking a 40-year license from federal regulators to build the complex near Carlsbad.
The Eddy Lea Energy Alliance is a public entity formed through a joint powers agreement among the New Mexico cities of Carlsbad and Hobbs and Eddy and Lea counties.
EDDY COUNTY-JAIL FENCE
Eddy County jail in Carlsbad to be ringed by security fence
CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — The Eddy County jail will get a security fence to provide an additional layer of separation between inmates in the facility in downtown Carlsbad and the public.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that the county Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a $40,000 contract with Roswell-based Waide Construction Co. for an 8-foot (2.4-meter) chain link fence around the jail's main building.
Warden Billy Massingill said the fence will enhance security at the jail's front entrance and provide a barrier for people trying to get the attention of inmates by throwing objects on the building's roof.
Sheriff Mark Cage said adding the security fence is a good move because the detention center is in the heart of Carlsbad and will "provide another necessary layer of security" for the public and correctional workers.
ALBUQUERQUE-FATAL SHOOTINGS

Police said detectives were conducting interviews regarding the third fatal shooting and no additional information was immediately released.
