There is a lot going on in our remote part of New Mexico, but sometimes
it's difficult to communicate all the goings-on when we're so spread out
geographically. One of the purposes of this paper is to help close
that communication gap and bring information to a central location where
it can be shared with community members. Another goal of this project
is to give our young people a chance to learn about all of the aspects
of running a business. While the brainstorm for this paper lies
with Mrs. Donna Hazen and her Entrepreneurial Class at
Mosquero Municipal Schools, the
Seniors at Roy High School, under
the direction of Mrs. Cheryl School and Mrs. Dorothy Hazen, have put a
lot of hard work into their school newspaper, the
Longhorn Lasso, and we appreciate
them giving us the opportunity to include their work and look forward to
working with them in the upcoming issues.
Now for the details. This paper has been professionally
published by the good folks at the Raton Range, and will be
mailed quarterly to subscribers.
While we realize that reporting news on a quarterly basis is not as
timely as a weakly newspaper, we see it as a starting point and are
aiming for a publication that can be circulated more frequently in order
to keep our friends and neighbors well-informed on all the news and
events of the area.
What we need from the fine citizens of Harding County is
information. While the bulk of the community news in this
first edition was gathered by us making inquiries to the various clubs,
organizations, and individuals in the county, we need your help in
the future issues to ensure that we include all the newsworthy
events that are available. You don't need to be a reporter or even
have a computer to let us know what's going on. Just drop us a
note, give us a call, or, if you're hooked up to the net, drop us an
e-mail by the deadline indicated for the issue you'd like it included in
and we'll do the rest. What we're looking for is upcoming stories.
If it's of interest to you, chances are it will be interesting to our
readers as well.
If you have out of town friends or family who would like to receive
our paper, please pass our contact information to them. We hope
you enjoy this newspaper. We look forward to hearing from you
soon!
