Chuck Ring Honored – Again!
By Bob Steiner
Chuck Ring seems to be one of the more active “retired” citizens in Edgewood,. There is hardly a civic organization that he is not active in. He has been repeatedly recognized for his many contributions to the town and Santa Fe county.
Last Wednesday night (Januray 21st), at a meeting of the Edgewood town council, he was presented with a plaque from the New Mexico Municipal League. This organization, which assists communities in developing plans and administrative procedures, recognized Chuck for dedicated service to the League as Director of its board of directors for the peiod 2005 to 2008. As Mayor Stearly was not at the council meeting, Councilor Rita-Loy Simmons did the actual presentation. Congratulations Chuck!
Been Through The Desert On A Bobcat With No A New Name
by John Weckerle
Wildlife West Nature Park has a new resident, and the new resident has a problem – she needs a name.
The Park recently acquired a 7 month-old female bobcat, formerly an illegal pet from the Alamagordo area. Having been raised in a household environment, she is very friendly (my wife and I spent some time in the cage with her, and she was very interested in attention). She’s also curious, very active, and has a relatively short attention span. Wildlife West recently held a contest to find a name for the newest occupant, and she is now named “Spark,” a name given by a local fourth grade student.
