A tragedy occurred on Nov. 11, 2006, that shocked northern New Mexico.  

A drunken driver speeding the wrong way down Interstate 25 slammed into a minivan, killing five members of a Las Vegas family. The crash killed Paul Gonzales; his wife, Renee Collins-Gonzales; and their daughters Jacqueline Gonzales, Selena Gonzales, and Alisha Garcia. Arissa Garcia, who has since graduated from West Las Vegas High School, was the sole survivor.

Summer has hardly been a time of rest and relaxation for local tennis players who have been active in a number of recent regional tournaments.

“We’ve been getting after it,” said Juan Carlos Fulgenzi, head tennis coach at Robertson High. In addition to his usual work, Fulgenzi has his schedule full of private lessons for different ages.

Loretta Abreu Martin, the city recreation center’s director, often has her hands full.

On a recent morning, she helped look for a 9-year-old girl’s glasses, got an update on the maintenance at Rodriguez Park and went about her plans to increase the offerings at the rec center.

She’s got her eyes all around the center — literally. On her desk is a computer that shows video from 16 security cameras.
