On Monday, August 12, Tom Shelley, candidate for county commission District 5, spoke to a group of voters. Shelley had run for the district in 2020 and lost by 35 votes, 1265 to 1300. When asked why he was running again, Shelley replied, "I feel some of the county commissioners are drifting away from what helps families and businesses. They are not focusing on local issues.
I'm appalled that the current district 5 commissioner pushed to take Gila Water decisions away from the three counties that rely on Gila Water."
SILVER CITY, NM - Outreach and Instruction Librarian Madeleine Nittmo has only been with WNMU since last January, but she has been on the path to becoming a librarian since high school. She was mentored along the way by an observant school librarian who recognized her passion when Nittmo was a high school senior. "I have always been a big reader," said Nittmo, "and the district librarian noticed that, and she came up to me and said, 'I can tell you how to become a librarian.' She told me all the steps: this is what you need to do, this is the program you need to be in. So, the minute I went to college, I had a very clear path, and I never diverted from that. I have always had my eye on it from the very beginning."

SILVER CITY, NM, August 12, 2024 –The Gila National Forest has had some long-standing vacancies in its ranger staff, leaving members of the public scratching their heads when it comes to reaching out to their local District Ranger, and the forest has been remiss in announcing those changes. We would like to rectify that omission to clarify who's who in Gila National Forest leadership.
The Glenwood Ranger District's former District Ranger, Brian Stultz, has been reappointed and is now the permanent Wilderness District Ranger, leaving a vacancy at Glenwood.
Elizabeth Toney is currently the Acting District Ranger for the Glenwood Ranger District, in addition to her duties as the Silver City District Ranger. In order to provide greater support in this expanded ranger role, Tony Ybarra, Wildlife Biologist for the Silver City Ranger District, has accepted an appointment as Acting Deputy District Ranger for the Silver City and Glenwood ranger districts.
