Ty's Take

There's a particular kind of ugliness that comes with a parent trafficking their own children, and Chaparral's got that weight sitting heavy in the courthouse this week. The Facebook verdict out of state courts doesn't move the needle much for most of us, but the volleyball result does, same as it always does around here. What catches you in a place like this is how the news stacks up: your neighbors' kids taking five sets against Ruidoso, and somewhere thirty miles north, a woman's facing charges that'll echo through a family for generations. Both stories matter. Both end up in the same paper on the same day. That's Otero County in the fall.
