LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico writer-photographer Julie Carter and musician Joe Delk received the 2024 Rounders Award Oct. 16 at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces.
The award was named after “The Rounders,” a classic Western novel that was written by Max Evans. Created in 1990 by former New Mexico Agriculture Secretary Frank DuBois, the purpose of the award is to honor those who live, promote and articulate the Western way of life. Max Evans was the first-ever award recipient. The Rounders tradition continues as this year’s recipients join 36 previous honorees.
Evans passed in 2020, however, the Rounders tradition lives on. These individuals are described as vivid creators of Western art that embody the tradition of the award.

Project to maintain fuels reduction around infrastructure expected in late October
RESERVE, NM, Oct. 17, 2024 – The Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District is preparing to use prescribed fire to treat approximately 220 acres around Negrito Fire Base to protect site infrastructure from wildfire while helping to improve forest health. The prescribed fire project is expected to occur in late October or early November, as staffing, fuels, and weather conditions allow.
"This forest is adapted to frequent, low-intensity fire, which helps limit ingrowth of trees and other ladder fuels that can feed high-intensity crown fires," said Acting Reserve District Ranger Bret Ruff. "By re-treating this area with fire, we are maintaining an uneven-aged, open grown forest, while removing surface fuels, such as stumps, logs, branches, grass, and brush that have accumulated over the past dozen years since prescribed fire was last introduced to this project area."
