Otero County nominates Block for vacant Senate seat

Otero County Commissioners chose State Rep. John Block (R-51) as their nominee for the vacant District 33 seat in the New Mexico Senate. The nomination came on a 2-1 vote during a special commission meeting Friday, Nov. 7.

By state statute, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham will make an appointment to fill the vacancy after receiving nominations from the three counties spanned by the district – Otero, Lincoln and Chaves.

Sen. Nick Paul of Alamogordo, a Republican, resigned as District 33 senator in early October, citing health concerns. He was elected to a four-year term in the November 2024 general election and took office in January of this year.

The Democratic governor’s appointee will serve until a candidate is chosen by voters next November to complete Paul’s term.

Friday’s vote came after commissioners from Otero and Lincoln counties convened earlier in a joint session to interview eight candidates, all Republicans, for the vacant seat. The meeting was held at Eastern New Mexico University-Ruidoso.

Lincoln County commissioners held a special meeting Monday, Nov. 10, and chose Commission Chair Mark Fischer as their nominee in a 3-0 vote with two commissioners recusing themselves.

The Chaves County Commission opted out of the Oct. 7 joint meeting and held a special meeting of its own Oct. 5, choosing rancher and former Lincoln County Commissioner Rex Wilson by a 5-0 vote. Wilson is the father of current Lincoln County Commissioner Kendal Wilson, who recused himself from Monday’s decision.

Block’s name was placed in nomination by Commissioner Amy Barela. Besides the three nominees, other candidates interviewed during the joint commission meeting were Zach Cook, attorney from Ruidoso and former state representative; Lynn Crawford, mayor of Ruidoso; Alamogordo resident Ben Luna; R.B. Nichols, currently Otero County attorney; and Matthew Wade, an attorney in Ruidoso.

“I’m making my motion based on my constituents here in my district that want local representation, that feel that we don’t want anybody from the outside,” Barela said.

Barela and Commissioner Vickie Marquardt voted yes on the nomination and Commissioner Gerald Matherly voted no.

“This was not an easy choice as we had some really good citizens that came forward,” Marquardt told the Alamogordo News. “However, as John Block is from Otero County and has been fighting for conservative issues for the last three years, I felt that since he is willing to take the next step and move up to the Senate, I feel he’s earned it and deserved my vote.”

Matherly did not respond to a request for comment.

“I’m excited to have Otero County put forward a local name and I’m excited to represent all three counties to the best of my abilities,” Block said after he was selected.

In responding to questions during the joint interview session, Block said he has fought “radical bills” that threaten conservative values and said the challenge to do so in the Senate is greater than in the House.

“The makeup of the Senate is much different,” he told commissioners. “I have built relationships with those in the Senate, but it a big nut to crack. I have the commitment to bring our agenda to the finish line there after it’s been passed in the House.”

The three days in November, that matter for Artesia volleyball

The three days in November, that matter for Artesia volleyball

For the Artesia Lady ‘Dogs volleyball team, the most crucial time that matters is the three days in November. For the City of Champions, that time is known as winning time. The Artesia Bulldogs made it to the Final Four of the Rudy’s Real Bar Real Texas Bar-B-Q 4A Volleyball State Championships on Saturday.

In the semifinal game against the No. 1-ranked St. Pius X Sartans, the Lady ‘Dogs came up short, losing to the eventual state champions in three straight games 25-16, 25-19, and 25-18. Artesia made a stand in the second game and closed the score to 19-18, and yet every time the Lady ‘Dogs made a run, the Sartans were able to score and go on a run. The Lady ‘Dogs’ season ends with a 21-7 record on the season.

‘We played tough,” Artesia head volleyball coach Alan Williams said. “They (St. Pius X) really served well, and we struggled against their serve, so that would put us out of system where we could not hit a ball at them really hard. When you can’t do that against a team that good, they are going to hit it back at you really hard. That is mainly a big part of our inability to get into our system and hit balls at them. They are tough and have a lot of big guns, and it was tough to stay with them.”

Williams said after the loss, he told his seniors how proud he was of them and of all the effort and hard work they had put in. Williams noted that, regardless of the outcome, it was tough to see it end for his team. With the Lady ‘Dogs losing on the first day of the tournament to Albuquerque Academy, it was good that his team was able to come back and win three straight games in the tournament to make it to the semifinals.

“The season is not just the end, but the whole journey,” Williams said. “All of the times the girls put in and all of the practices, and all of the times we spent together and all of the meals and the battling on the court are really special. Some of the girls I will never forget, and I am just glad they were a team and treated each other really well and fought together, and that is what you want. They were a good team, very positive and encouraging of one another.”

Artesia’s Kaitlyn Addington and Kailee Padilla attempt to block a shot by a St. Pius X player. Artesia would lose the semifinal game to the eventual state champs 3-0.

Saturday

On Saturday, the Lady ‘Dogs faced the No. 5 seed Hope Christian at 8 a.m. The match became heated, and the referee had to call Artesia coach Alan Williams and Hope Christian’s coach Katie Erdman to the center of the net. During the match, there were complaints that players from both teams were hitting the other player under the net. Players on both teams were upset, and no fouls were called. Williams was distraught and yelled when his player, Ashton Craft, was knocked to the ground during a play at the net. Finally, the referees called both coaches to the center court to intervene. The ‘Lady Dogs were so fired up after what happened in the middle of the second set that they went on to sweep the following two sets and went on to win in four sets, 25-13, 19-25, 25-19, and 25-16.

Battle

“What a battle,” Artesia coach Alan Williams said. “It helped coming out in that first set and getting a big lead. The second set was kind of the opposite: they had a big lead, but in the next two sets, we grabbed the momentum. It was a good battle against a great team, and our seniors did an excellent job setting up at the net.”

Artesia’s Jenna Miller and Demrie Howard block a shot against St. Pius X on Saturday in a semifinal matchup.

In the 2025 state championship, the Lady ‘Dogs earned the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye. When the Artesia took the court, it suffered a loss to the No. 5 seed Albuquerque Academy, 25-11, 25-18, and 25-14. That put Artesia in a must-win situation in every game it would play for the rest of the tournament.

By losing to the Chargers, the loss put Artesia into the loser’s bracket in a survive-and-advance mode. The Lady ‘Dogs won two games in one day on Friday by beating Taos in three sets, 25-11, 28-26, and 25-17. In the next match, Artesia faced district foe Portales and defeated them 26-24, 25-20, and 25-12 in three consecutive sets.

“It was either bounce back or go home,” Williams said after losing to the Chargers on Friday. “The seniors want to continue to play.”

Letter to the editor: Thank you, Artesia for supporting hospital mill levy

As Chairman of the Artesia Special Hospital District, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Artesia and Eddy County for your overwhelming support in the recent hospital mill levy election. Your vote of confidence ensures that Artesia General Hospital can continue providing exceptional healthcare close to home.

This success was truly a community effort. The Artesia Special Hospital District Board and the AGH Governing Board both worked diligently to share clear, accurate information and to represent our community’s best interests throughout the process. Khushroo Ghadiali was the creative engine behind our outreach campaign – from crafting messages to appearing on local radio – his passion and commitment was vital to informing and engaging voters.

A very special thank-you goes to Dr. Salgado, the Artesia General Hospital CEO, whose leadership and personal involvement made an enormous impact. He went above and beyond by writing an editorial, hosting a town hall meeting, doing radio conversations, and using social media to connect directly with the community –     ensuring everyone understood how this renewal supports the hospital’s mission.

We are also deeply grateful to the staff of Artesia General Hospital, who took time from their busy schedules to appear in videos, contribute articles, and share their personal stories. Your voices reminded everyone that our hospital’s greatest strength is its people.

To all who asked questions, shared information, and voted- thank you. Together, we’ve strengthened the future of healthcare in Artesia.

Respectfully, Jarrod L. Moreau

Chairman of the Special Hospital District Board

Editorial angers Artesia hospital bosses; we’ll take the heat, keep fighting

Artesia Daily Press Editorial Board

Folks at Artesia General Hospital apparently have confused the Hippocratic Oath with the Hypocritic Oath.

Often attributed to but not actually said by Hippocrates is the physician’s vow to “do no harm.” Whatever its origin, the phrase has been associated with the medical profession for centuries. Its historical evolution is a story for another day.

Unhappy with an editorial by the Artesia Daily Press, the hospital waited a few scant days to cancel all of its advertising with our newspaper.

The timing of the cancellation would seem to be the progression of things from angry hospital executives, but who knows? It might be coincidental. You be the judge.

The advertising loss represents a substantial number of dollars for us. In 2024 the hospital spent $14,579 and through this year has spent another $17,114. We have appreciated the support.

Here’s a brief history of recent events.

Last spring, the hospital lost a mill levy election mostly because of institutional arrogance and a blundered public relations campaign.

The vote was 638 to 608.

Last week, voters passed the levy 1,657 to 591.

It appears there are still almost 600 voters who are mad at the hospital. We join them in their suspicion that something is amiss in Denmark.

As we reported last week:

Revenue from the tax enacted in 1979 is used to supplement the hospital’s operating costs, providing about $4 million to $7 million a year for ongoing expenses at the hospital that serves patients throughout Eddy and Chaves counties.

The levy is paid on property taxes for homeowners and businesses within the Artesia Special Hospital District, which encompasses most of the city limits and about 10,000 voters. It amounts to $2.70 per $1,000 of net taxable value on property tax bills.

Prior to the hospital’s electoral do-over in the Nov. 4 general election, the Artesia Daily Press convened an editorial board meeting to decide our institutional opinion on the levy.

We asked Khushroo Ghadiali, the hospital’s director of communications, to assemble hospital representatives for the meeting. He brought with him two members of the Artesia Special Hospital District board, Danny Parker and Karen Waldrip, but none of the hospital’s top executives or administrators.

Among the missing was Dr. Joe Salgado, the hospital’s CEO, even though on the morning of our meeting he had been just a block away at the local coffee shop Kith and Kin for a public forum on the mill question. The forum was lightly attended, and many told us most of those in the audience were employees of the hospital.

Maybe we were naive to believe Salgado would come to our editorial board meeting. As the meeting started, he was across from our building and we watched in amazement as he stepped into his parked vehicle and drove away.

Ghadiali, the only hospital executive on hand, could not answer any of the questions we asked him about hospital operations.

Budget for the hospital? Total revenues and expenses for hospital?

Ghadiali said he did not know but would get back to us. We are still waiting.

Our newspaper endorsed the mill levy in a front-page editorial but raised questions about hospital officials’ arrogance and lack of transparency.

Ghadiali responded to our editorial complaining that hospital executives found the editorial “personal.”

Shame on us for expecting the operational executives to show up for a meeting about a mill levy that is vital to hospital operations.

In this world we all expect certain institutions to be trustworthy and not petty, not given to personal hubris. Those institutions would include the police, our schools, local government and, yes, hospitals. We do not expect local executives and officials to act as monarchs.

How sad for Artesia General to test both the trust of the public and our newspaper after we endorsed the levy.

The Artesia Daily Press will not be weakened or intimidated by economic bullying. We are, like all newspapers, struggling to exist. But we will not bend to self-serving hospital officials who seem to have forgotten the meaning of the words “do no harm.”

By the way, hospital management signed an advertising contract with the Artesia Daily Press in 2024 for 2025. We are invoicing them this week for the unpaid portion of their commitment. We will keep you posted if they honor the contract and pay their bill. It may be of interest to you when you get your next hospital bill.

Hospital officials want to build a new hospital. That will likely require a bond election. Perhaps those 600 anti-hospital voters will grow in number in the face of these bullies.

Next up for us: We will be investigating the controversy at the hospital over air transport operators.

We’ll pinch pennies in the meantime to give Artesia the newspaper it deserves. There is no price on freedom of speech.

Lincoln County is a fall hotspot for trout fishing

Information and photos provided by New Mexico Department of Game and Fish

High temperatures around 70 degrees and the allure of fall colors in the mountain areas of Lincoln County serve as a backdrop for ideal trout fishing conditions.

Fishing for trout was good at Bonito Lake using multi-colored Kastmasters, worms and PowerBait using Super Duper lures.

At Grindstone Reservoir, fishing for trout was exceptionally good using green leeches and red or purple squirmy worms.

Fishing for largemouth bass was slow to fair using jackhammer chatterbaits at Alto Lake.

Near Socorro at Escondida Lake, fishing for bass was slow when using curly tail jigs.

In Lovington at Chaparral Park Lake, fishing for catfish was fair to good using corn.

In northern New Mexico, fishing for northern pike was slow to fair using spinners. Fishing for crappie was slow to fair using silver-and-black spinners.

At Ute Lake, fishing for walleye, crappie, catfish, and white bass was slow to fair using four-inch Gulp minnows.

Fishing for trout was good using PowerBait at Hopewell Lake.

Fishing for rainbow trout was good using nightcrawlers at Eagle Nest Lake.

In Albuquerque at Tingley Beach, trout fishing was incredibly good using homemade dough bait.

Hornets and Bulldogs have football history

The No. 1-ranked District 5A Artesia Bulldogs football team will face a new challenger in the No. 8 Highland Hornets in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Nusenda Credit Union state football playoffs at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Bulldog Bowl.

The Hornets defeated Mayfield 36-22 on Friday, Nov. 7, to advance.

There is history between these two teams, but one would have to go back to the 1961 and 1964 seasons, when Artesia won both championship games. In 1964, the ’Dogs defeated Highlands 20-6 at Morris Field. In 1966, the Bulldogs in their orange uniforms beat the Hornets 40-14  in what would be Bulldogs’ coach L.G. Henderson’s second of five state titles.

Offense

Artesia (9-1) comes into the game with an explosive offense as quarterback Derrick Warren is 141-of-229 for 2,169 yards with 32 touchdowns and six interceptions and a quarterback rating of 121.5. Senior running back Bryce Parra has rushed for 1,039 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. At the receiving spot is the five-headed monster led by Trent Egeland, who has 41 receptions with 594 yards and 12 touchdowns. Next is Jack Byers, who has 29 receptions with 558 yards and six touchdowns. At the slot receiver position, Sawyer Whitehead has 21 catches, 245 yards and one touchdown. Jett Fuentes has 16 receptions and 196 yards with three touchdowns, and teammate Cael Houghtaling has 15 receptions for 265 yards and two touchdowns. If the receivers are covered, look for Warren to throw to Parra out of the backfield. Parra has 16 catches for 360 yards and five touchdowns.

The Bulldogs’ offense is averaging 361.2 yards in total offense each game this season.

“We have to come out and play our best game of the year,” Artesia head football coach Jeremy Maupin said. “I know that is coach cliché. On offense we must build a lead, if we stay in a close game then they can shorten the game with the way they run the ball. We must get out to an early lead.”

Defense

All season long, the Bulldogs have relied on their defense to carry them when their offense was not at full throttle. Against Goddard, the defense kept the Rockets out of the end zone and won the game.

This Saturday, the Highland Hornets will come to Artesia with an upset on their mind after their win over Mayfield in the first round. Mayfield won only two games this season, but the Bulldogs are the No. 1 team in Class 4A, and this game will be played at the most imposing football mecca in New Mexico, the Bulldog Bowl.

What the Bulldogs will have to do is shut down the Hornets’ running game in William Anchondo and Jose Tapia, who combined for 355 yards and five touchdowns against Mayfield.

“We have to be able to stop the run,” Maupin said. “We have to limit the run defensively and that is what they want to do.”

The Hornets (7-4) can be rattled, especially early in the contest. Highland head coach Phillip Lovato is starting five sophomores, three juniors and two seniors.

“For our kids to have this opportunity to go down there and see what football is, I’m excited for all of us,” Lovato told the Albuquerque Journal after Highland’s first-round win. “Now we’re just playing with house money.”

Does the Democrats’ chaos strategy work against Donald Trump?

Does the Democrats’ chaos strategy work against Donald Trump?

Victor Davis Hanson

We can draw a few conclusions from an off-year election, when iconic races in blue states went, as expected, overwhelmingly Democratic.

Nevertheless, there is only a year left before the midterms. So Republicans must react to even these paltry results.

1) Democrats’ chaotic nihilism still works. The chaos strategy causes so much turmoil, noise, and negative media coverage that the confused voting public simply cannot sort it all out. The public wishes the upheaval would just go away and often blames those with the most current authority — logically, the incumbent Trump and his administration.

2) Every day of Trump’s first year, there were either campus eruptions, Tesla firebombings, street violence against ICE, or crazy district judges’ injunctions.

The bedlam becomes force multiplied by unhinged outbursts from Democrats like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell, and the proverbial Squad.

The latest firecracker was thrown by a now Biden-like, faltering Nancy Pelosi, who recently screamed on CNN that President Donald Trump “is just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth.”

The public has no time to sort out all the actual causes for such mad hattery. It knows only from Democrats that the commotion is roughly correlated with “Trump.”

Note that there is never a positive Democratic “Contract with America,” since it is impossible to advance anything popular or moderate past its now firmly socialist base.

3) Democrats also use the chaos strategy to target key electoral groups.

In this week’s election, Republicans finally grasped the purpose of the pre-election shutdown.

It was designed to galvanize key constituencies to get out the vote in a low-turnout year. The lockdown was especially aimed at two groups: laid-off and unpaid government workers and entitlement recipients terrified that their checks would dry up.

Both turned out disproportionately in Virginia and New Jersey.

The Democrats are likely to resolve the shutdown soon, as the initial momentum gained by paralyzing the government is now diminishing.

The same strategy applies to the Hispanic vote that had defected in large numbers to Trump in 2024. However, this week, in many counties, the Hispanic vote shifted back toward the Democratic Party.

The truth does not get out enough that 70-80 percent of deportations are targeted at those with either criminal records or prior deportation orders.

Instead, the nonstop violent protests, the dangerous nullification threats from blue-city officials, and the slanted media coverage worked like proverbial propaganda to reduce ICE to “the Gestapo.”

Too many of the public believed that “Nazis” were hounding only law-abiding housekeepers and landscapers, who have been here for decades and only by accident forgot to make their de facto Americanness official.

Or so the successful Big Lie went — and went unchallenged.

The administration and MAGA do not talk enough about positive news of GDP growth, tolerable inflation, massive foreign investment, a calmer Middle East, or numerous miraculous ceasefires around the globe.

Instead, when there is a vacuum in self-praise, it is more easily replaced by the sensationalism of Trump’s “revenge tour” in hounding the boy scout James Comey and poor Letitia James, of taking a wrecking ball to the revered White House, or of insulting for no reason our blameless, “nice,” and gentle Canadian neighbors. The economy, not culs-de-sac, wins elections.

4) Much of the Trump agenda, other than spectacular military recruitment and a secure border, is more long-term than instantly gratifying.

The multitrillion-dollar foreign investments may take a year or two to create jobs and spark the economy.

The deportations will take time to switch more jobs to U.S. citizens.

New gas, oil, and nuclear energy production, trimming the federal workforce, deregulating, and greenlighting AI and other new technologies will not be felt immediately.

After the summer 1984 convention, even Ronald Reagan trailed the anemic Walter Mondale in a few polls. Then the first three quarters of GDP — cumulatively over 7% growth — were digested, as the economy took off and buried Mondale by the November elections.

5) There is no longer a Democratic Party. It is now an unapologetically neo-socialist Jacobin movement. So traditional negative advertising designed to incur scandal and shame simply does not always work. All that matters is the hard-leftist fides of a candidate — period!

Threaten a political opponent with assassination? Brag about killing his kids?

Tattoo the 3rd Panzer SS Division death’s-head insignia on your chest?

Promise to arrest a foreign head of state when he visits your city?

Boast about grabbing the “means of production.”

So what?

To the new left, this is just proof that their new candidates and voters “mean business.” They cannot be shamed — not even by mocking Charlie Kirk’s wound or hoping Trump is not so lucky a third time.

There is plenty of time for Republicans to digest these results, especially the strategy and dangerous nature of the new left, along with the mercurial moods of the swing voters — and the need to stick to the economy.

But the clock is ticking.
