There’s a first time for everything.

Luna Community College’s newborn softball team enjoyed a day of firsts on Friday: first pitch, first hit, first run, first loss, and yes, a first win.

The Rough Riders lost their inaugural game 11-3, watching a 3-2 contest go haywire in the seventh inning against visiting Frank Phillips College. Then LCC recovered for a 15-4 victory to go 1-1 on its opening weekend under head coach Dawnette Garcia.

The latest project to improve the county courthouse is coming with some costs — dust and noise.

County Manager Les Montoya asked the County Commission this week if it was OK with his allowing offices to close for certain periods when the dust and noise are unbearable.

Montoya said he had spoken with the contractor, Franken Construction, and asked the company to take measures to reduce the amount of dust such as placing sealant on doors.

First let us stipulate that we believe in the premise that allegations alone don’t automatically translate to guilt. In criminal court, the accused are considered innocent until proven guilty, and in civil claims, a preponderance of the evidence must be established before someone is held liable for an illegal or damaging action.

We, the family of J. Richard “Ricky” DeHerrera, would like to express our sincere thanks to all the people for their prayers, cards, food, phone calls, visits, and overall love. We appreciate all you have done for us in our time of need. We would like to thank all of his doctors who helped him in his long fight with diabetes.
