James William “Bill” Harrison, born on June 22, 1922, hit the big 100 years old with his usual aplomb and humor.
He said the celebrations kicked off a week ago Sunday when Crosspoint Church honored him and fellow World War II veteran Mario Kirker for their service.
The Silver City Town Council continued the celebrations of Harrison’s 100th birthday at its regular meeting last week by naming June 22, 2022 “Bill Harrison Day.”

La reparación de extinción por parte del equipo de gestión de incidentes es un esfuerzo inicial para reducir los impactos adversos y se realiza por separado del trabajo de la Respuesta de Emergencia sobre el Área Quemada (BAER) y Reparación del Área Quemada (BAR).

On Monday, June 13, 2022, at about 10:58 a.m. a Bayard Police Department officer received a report from the Bayard Animal Control Officer of a domestic disturbance occurring on Coffey and Pearl streets.
The ACO told the officer that while he was chasing a white pitbull, the dog entered the streets of Coffey and Diamond, and he noticed the suspect yelling at a female and saying, "Your (sic) going to call the f*****g police?" The report stated the ACO advised that the suspect then jumped on the hood of the vehicle. The ACO further stated when the vehicle stopped at the corner of Coffey and Pearl streets, the suspect got off the vehicle and punched the driver side window.
According to a BPD incident report, when the officer arrived on scene, he observed Andres Vigil, 30, of Bayard, who the officer knew from past criminal cases, run inside an apartment. As the officer approached the apartment, a witness stated her daughter and the boyfriend were arguing and the daughter drove away in a silver vehicle. At this time, the daughter in the silver vehicle returned and parked by the officer's unit.

Before the meeting started a brief work session took place to address items on the agenda. Mayor Chon Fierro called the session to order. Also, in attendance were Mayor Pro Tem Raul Villanueva and councilors Eloy Medina, Jose Diaz and Frances Gonzales.
Kristina Ortiz, city clerk, started the discussion with the document of the minutes provided to the council from the last meeting. She explained they had used software to transcribe the whole meeting, but it does not come out correctly and had to be fixed to be readable. She said she had spent most of the previous Friday on it and part of Monday. The other girls in the office had worked on it also and it still needs worked on. The version the council received is a draft version.
