At the regular monthly meeting of the Silver City-Grant County Chamber of Commerce, Bruce Ashburn of PNM, presented awards to several businesses in Grant County. He noted that the total savings from these grants and awards is $1.088 million.
The first award went to the Food Mart, owned by W&N Enterprises. Owners Jim and Debbie Nennich accepted the award. Ashburn said the project saves the company 65,351 kilowatt hours, which is enough energy to power 10 homes, keeps 3.6 million tons of carbon out of the atmosphere and saves 21,435 gallons of water.
Ashburn presented the next award to Western New Mexico University, which he described as being at the forefront of renewable energy in Grant County. Kevin Matthes and Joe Holguin accepted the award. Because the university has also done a PNM retrofit of lights, the projects will save 154,534 kWh, enough to power 23 homes, prevent putting 86 metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere and will save 50,687 gallons of water.

On Wednesday, Apr. 15, 2022, at about 9:10 p.m., a Silver City Police Department officer received information that two males were walking in the middle of the road on Hudson Street in front of the New Mexico Gas Company. Arriving at the scene, the officer, according to an SCPD incident report narrative, observed a male, later identified as Irvan Flores, 33, of Silver City, lying face down on the pavement, his right cheek in a pool of blood. It appeared that Flores had also suffered an injury to his lower abdomen. EMS arrived on scene and began to treat Flores.
At this time, the officer contacted the victim's brother, Lorenzo Flores, who stated, according to the narrative, "What a f*****g idiot, why did he do that?" Lorenzo Flores stated that Irvan wanted to be hit by a vehicle because he was "acting stupid," and that Irvan began making suicidal statements during their walk.
