ECECD creates New Mexico Infant Formula Support Network
SANTA FE, N.M. — In response to a nationwide toddler formulation scarcity, the New Mexico Early Childhood Schooling and Care Division launched the NM Toddler System Assist Community, a brand new Fb group that establishes an area for New Mexico dad and mom and caregivers to crowdsource entry to formulation and different dietary helps for his or her infants.
“Though New Mexico shouldn’t be experiencing as acute a scarcity as some states, dad and mom who depend on formulation for his or her youngsters are understandably anxious,” mentioned ECECD Cupboard Secretary Elizabeth Groginsky. “To assist dad and mom discover the formulation they want, ECECD has created a bunch the place New Mexicans can submit tips on the place formulation is in inventory, provide up extra formulation to these in want, and ask for tips about the place specialised formulation manufacturers could also be out there.”
Along with making a discussion board for sharing data on the place formulation could also be out there, ECECD, the New Mexico Division of Well being, and different state companies will present common updates relating to the nationwide scarcity, essential vitamin and security data, and state and neighborhood sources out there to households with the group.
The State of New Mexico can also be coordinating with the New Mexico Retail Affiliation and its members to submit updates when new shipments of formulation arrive at shops.

Eastern New Mexico volleyball falls to 0-4 in conference play after loss to Angelo State
PORTALES, N.M. (KFDA) – The Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds volleyball team was not able to get their first conference win, falling to No. 14-ranked Angelo State on Saturday in Portales on Homecoming.
The Greyhounds got some life after winning the first set (25-23), which is the first set they’ve won in their last three games.
That momentum wouldn’t hold, as the Rambelles took the last three sets (22-25, 15-25, 13-25) to end the day.
Evelyn Torres from Angelo State finished with 15 kills and 20 digs in the match.
The senior from Hereford high school, Darcy Dodd, was the only Greyhound with 10 or more kills and tied for fourth for the most digs on the team.
ENMU will be on the road in Oklahoma for their next match against Cameron on Wednesday.
Following this loss, they now sit at 3-11 on the year and are 16th in the Lone Star Conference.

Curry to renegotiate events center contract
Curry County will renegotiate its contract with the company managing the Curry County Events Center. But it won’t attempt to terminate the agreement as commissioners discussed last month.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Commissioner Seth Martin said he’s still not happy the Oak View Group 360 exceeded its budget for the last fiscal year.
“If it were up to me, I would escort y’all off the property and have Curry County take over,” Martin said. He said commissioners and administrators were “led to believe” the management group was under budget until a final report was delivered on Sept. 24.
Officials said OVG 360 exceeded its budget by about $180,000. The Events Center operated at a loss of $858,000 for the year, though most of that was expected.
Martin asked County Attorney Dan Macke to look into whether OVG 360 breached its contract with the county by exceeding its budget.
“But the important thing,” said Commissioner Robert Thornton, “is we instructed (county) management to re-negotiate our contract with OVG 360.
“If we were to just end the contract we would have to give them 30 days notice, they would have 30 days to correct the problem and then we’d have to give them 90 days notice of termination. And their contract ends Jan. 1,” Thornton said.
One thing commissioners, county administrators and OVG representatives seemed to agree on: the Events Center is more an equestrian center than a concert venue.
“The Events Center was built as an equestrian deal,” Thornton said after the meeting.
Rebecca Bolton and Kevin Ortiz, administrators from OVG 360, appeared before commissioners with plans the company has to rectify the problematic financial issues. And Bolton said the company’s equestrian and rodeo events professional will be brought in to work with events center General Manager K. C. Messick.
Ortiz told commissioners, “K. C. is severely understaffed.”
Martin reiterated he was interested in cutting losses.
“I’m not trying to make this facility make money. It won’t. I would like to see us work together,” Martin said of OVG 360 and the county government.
“We are partners and stewards,” said Bolton.
Some commissioners expressed support for Messick.
“I believe K.C. was blamed for things he didn’t do,” Commissioner Dusty Leatherwood said.
“K.C. works his tail off there. And I don’t dislike OVG 360,” Commissioner Brad Bender said.
“K.C. cares about this place,” Thornton said.
“I think we can do better. I think K.C. can do better,” Leatherwood added.
Much of the Commission’s other business at Tuesday’s specially called meeting dealt with more routine matters:
n In a proclamation, commissioners declared Thursday as “Blue Day” in Curry County celebrating Zia Elementary School being named as a “National Blue Ribbon School.”
As a “Blue Day,” area residents are encouraged to wear blue that day.
• Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution of support for the General Obligation Bond 3 on the Nov. 5 ballot, which contains $2 million for Clovis Community College if voters approve the measure.
