Ty's Take

Two pieces of news came across the desk this week that remind you why this county's got state troopers, sheriff's deputies, and good people willing to go out looking when somebody doesn't come home. The missing man got found—that's the kind of ending you're grateful for in a place where the timber gets thick and the hollows run deep. Same week, a Raymondville man faced the consequences of whatever he was running from, caught up finally by the highway patrol and whatever warrant had his name on it. In a county this size, you know that somewhere behind both those stories are families relieved, families hurting, and people in uniform doing the work that keeps things from getting worse than they already are.

Ty's Take The museum director's indictment lands hard in a town where cultural institutions are supposed to be pulling people together, not tearing themselves apart—especially when we're still building what Silver City's going to be in another ten years. You can
