Ty's Take

There's something worth watching in how a small town keeps its culture alive, and this week Pagosa's got three chances to see it happening. A kid named Travers Vasek is playing a senior recital—that's the moment when a young musician stops being a student and starts proving what they've actually got—while Pagosa Peak Strings is bringing the community together for their spring show, and WHIPS is doing what service organizations do, which is holding the place together one luncheon at a time. None of this makes the front page of the Denver Post, but in a county seat surrounded by national forest, where most folks are either working hard or working their way out, these are the threads that hold Pagosa together. Pay attention to who shows up.

West Plains Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take The ACC numbers floating around this week—those $47 million payouts to member schools—remind you why a place like West Plains has to think hard about its own economy and what keeps the lights on. We're not in that conference, and we'

Truth or Consequences Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take Graduation day in Truth or Consequences always feels like the whole town is breathing out together—and this year's parade down Main Street is going to be something. These kids have made it through everything from water uncertainty to the usual small-town distractions, and

Las Cruces Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take There's a particular weight to a Tuesday morning when the paper leads with the names of people who won't be around to read it. George Jackson made it to seventy; Paul Lawrence to eighty-four—both solid runs in this valley where the

Lake of the Ozarks Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take Memorial Day weekend's shaping up to be what it always is around here—boats in the water and wallets getting lighter at the pump. SuperSplash opens this weekend, which means the families with younger kids will have somewhere to point their cash besides the
