Silver City High School Intern for the Beat
On Wednesday, December 4, Eduardo Servin gave a seminar on a master gardening course that might be implemented in Silver City. Servin is the manager of the master gardener program at New Mexico State University. This seminar consisted of explaining what exactly a master gardener is and how the participants of the course could implement these skills into their community. The class encompasses everything from grasses to water irrigation. It will be an eight- to twelve-week course starting in the fall of 2020. Specialists of their field would come down to Silver City every week and host three- to five-hour classes. The classes will be held through the Grant County extension office and will cost a little over one hundred dollars to attend.

The November work session on Nov. 12, 2019 began with county officials' reports. It was the only work session and regular session of the month. Similarly, in December, only one each will be held. The regular meeting took place on Nov. 14, 2019
Detention Center Administrator Mike Carilllo gave the jail report for Oct. 15-Nov. 11, 2019. "As of today, we have one staff vacancy. The number of inmates on Oct. 30 was 83, and today we stand at 83."
Intersection Signalisation at Highway 180 and Pinos Altos Road has been REPAiRED.
ROAD ADVISORY
4-WAY Stop– Silver City Area
Hwy 180 “Silver City” and the intersection of NM 15 “Pinos Altos” will have a 4-way stop in operation until repairs can be made to the signal light control box. Motorists are asked to reduce speed, obey posted signs, and be cautious of personnel and equipment in the area. The 4-way may be in effect for up to two weeks.
It looks like someone slid into it or ran into it somehow and demolished it and took out signs, too.
