The Cobre Consolidated School Board held a regular meeting at Hurley Elementary school on March 10, 2025. Board members in attendance included Gabriella Begay, and Emmarie Heredia. Superintendent Michael Koury also attended. Gilbert Guadiana, David Terrazas and Angelina Hardin didn't attend.
Although they didn't have a quorum, they continued with the parts of the agenda they could discuss.
Some of the third, fourth and fifth graders at Hurley Elementary School provided a presentation for the board. They had done Lego robotics. The kids had loved doing the Lego robotics that involves computers and coding. Many jobs these students will be seeing in the future don't exist now and 65 percent of the jobs each year involve computers and coding. The students went over some of the projects and what they had programed them to do. They created a taxi that could move forward and backwards plus honk. One other project had been called Big Little Helper, and it could pick things up. It had wheels and worked on two motors. The students had several other projects they told the board about.

[Author's Note: This author forgot to look at her calendar and didn't go to the meeting. Sorry! So she called the organizer, and he gave her an overview.]
According to GRMC Townhall organizer, District 4 Commissioner Eddie Flores, about 40 people showed up at the Grant County Administration Building Commission Chambers to speak about their experiences at Gila Regional Medical Center.
"The comments were surprisingly mixed," he said. "Some spoke of negative experiences, from a misdiagnosis to HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violations or being treated in a hallway. Others spoke of the great care they had received in the hospital, from registration to doctors and nurses."

About 60 people living in the Pinos Altos Volunteer Fire Department area, many from Pinos Altos and the surrounding region, met in a chilly Opera House to hear from several speakers.
Damie Nelson, the organizer of the meeting, said she wanted to get residents together, not only to hear about how they can prevent wildfires burning their properties, but to create some committees to help in case of fire. "I hope this will be the first of many gatherings to address fire prevention and mitigation."
She said she and her husband, Carl Levi, moved to the PA area from Silver City. "We enjoy eating dinner on our deck in the summer, watching the birds, hearing the coyotes, and we mostly enjoy the deer" to chuckles from the audience.
