NEW MEXICO-HISTORIC SITES
New Mexico gets $270K grant to protect 2 historic sites

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The National Park Service has awarded nearly $270,000 for historic preservation projects in New Mexico through the agency's Save America's Treasures program.
Four members of the state's U.S. Senate and House delegation announced Tuesday that the village of Santa Clara will use funds to make repairs in Fort Bayard located near Santa Clara, New Mexico. Fort Bayard is one of the first installations in the American Southwest to be garrisoned by Buffalo Soldiers.
Meanwhile, the Cornerstones Community Partnerships will use funds to restore Casita Desiderio y Pablita Ortega, part of Plaza del Cerro in Chimayo, New Mexico.
The grants are awarded to preserve and protect historic properties that represent the nation's cultural heritage.

FATAL SHOOTING-ARREST
State Police: El Llano man arrested in a fatal shooting

EL LLANO, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State Police say an El Llano man has been arrested in connection with a homicide.
They say 45-year-old Jullian Medelez was booked into the Rio Arriba County Detention Center on suspicion of second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, aggravated assault on a peace officer and resisting, evading or obstructing a peace officer.
State Police were called out Sunday to an El Llano home after a 911 hang-up call.
They say Medelez came out holding a knife and making threats to officers.
He was arrested after police went inside the house and found 32-year-old George Albert Lewis II of Santa Fe with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
State Police say Lewis was helping Medelez move last Sunday and was shot for an unknown reason.

MISSING MONSOON RAIN
People across Southwest longing for seasonal rainstorms

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Around the Southwest, people are longing for seasonal rainstorms like a lost summer romance.
The weather pattern characterized by a shift in wind patterns and moisture being pulled in from the tropical coast of Mexico arrives like clockwork each year. It starts in mid-June and runs through September. Rain usually tags along.
But this summer is different. The Southwest is parched.
The Flagstaff airport is seeing its driest monsoon season in 120 years. Las Vegas has barely recorded any rain. St. George in southern Utah had none in July and August.
Meris Carmichael wants to lure the rain to Arizona in a tongue-and-cheek way. She's been encouraging people to wash their cars — a perverse weather guarantee to ruin a shiny auto exterior with muddy raindrops.

SANDIA LABS-RETIREMENT
Sandia National Laboratories director to retire in December

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The director of Albuquerque-based Sandia National Laboratories is retiring.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that 67-year-old Steve Younger has been on the job for two years and that he told employees Monday that he will retire Dec. 31.
Sandia is a federal installation involved in the nation's nuclear weapons program and international nonproliferation efforts.
Younger said the National Technology and Engineering Solutions Board of Managers is searching for his successor.
Younger unveiled his retirement plans several months after Sandia announced it expects to hire 1,900 employees this year, including 1,100 to fill newly created positions at the lab.
Younger formerly was associate director at Los Alamos National Laboratory and he began working with nuclear weapons in 1982.

ELECTION 2020-HOUSE-NEW MEXICO
GOP oil lobbyist to seek southern New Mexico US House seat

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A Republican oil lobbyist and member of one of New Mexico's wealthiest families has announced she is running for Congress in what is expected to be a closely watched U.S. House race.
Claire Chase told The Associated Press on Tuesday she will seek the GOP nomination for the state's southern congressional seat currently held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Xochitl (ZOH'-cheel) Torres Small.
Torres Small defeated Republican Yvette Herrell in 2018 to flip a traditional Republican-leaning district.
The 36-year-old Chase says she intends to run a different race than Herrell, who faced criticism for refusing to debate Torres Small
Herrell and Las Cruces businessman Chris Mathys also are vying for the GOP nomination.
Chase, a Roswell, New Mexico, native, is married to Chance Chase. His grandfather is oil and natural gas tycoon, Mack Chase.

BEER CAN CONVENTION
Beer can enthusiasts head to New Mexico for 'CANvention'

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Hundreds of beer can collectors are heading to New Mexico for a "CANvention."
The Albuquerque Journal reports the Brewery Collectibles Club of America is scheduled Thursday to start celebrating different types of beer cans at its three-day national gathering at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
The club says the event attracts collectors from around the world who trade, buy and sell vintage and craft beer cans. It is a chance for those attending to sample beer from local Albuquerque brewers.
The gathering began in 1969 after collector Denver Wright, Jr. put an ad in a St. Louis newspaper asking anyone who collected beer cans to contact him.
Six collectors responded and they held an event in Denver months later.

ELECTION LAW-NEW MEXICO
New Mexico Supreme Court blocks changes to election law

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Supreme Court has determined parts of a new election law that would have altered the terms of certain elected officials are unconstitutional.
The court ruling Monday blocks some of the election changes enacted by state lawmakers earlier this year from taking effect.
Lawmakers aimed to shift the election timing for some judges and county officials so not all the elections would fall in the same year.
State Administrative Office of the Courts spokesman Barry Massey said in a statement that shifting elections would have caused some judges to serve longer terms than allowed by the state constitution.
The eight district attorneys who filed one of three challenges to the law also claimed it would have caused officeholders to serve six-year terms or be ousted without an election.
