New Mexico will honor some of its most accomplished athletes, coaches, and sports figures later this month as the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame inducts its newest class.

The Hall of Fame announced that five individuals representing four sports will join its distinguished ranks. The 2025 class includes Olympic silver medalist Courtney Frerichs, basketball standout Anita Maxwell, legendary football coach Miles Watters, golf coach John Fields, and former quarterback Landry Jones.

According to Hall of Fame officials, each inductee has made significant contributions to New Mexico’s athletic legacy through achievements at the high school, collegiate, national, and international levels. Their accomplishments span multiple decades. Moreover, they have helped bring recognition to the state’s sports community.

Frerichs received national attention for her incredible achievements as a distance runner at the University of New Mexico. She led the Lobos to the 2015 NCAA Team Championships. Also, she won a silver medal in the 3000-meter steeplechase at this year’s Tokyo Olympics. This made her the first American woman to run a sub-9 minute 3000m steeplechase.

One of the most successful athletes in the history of New Mexico State’s women’s basketball program, Maxwell was the first female NCAA player to amass 2,500 career points, 1,000 career rebounds, and 300 career steals. Additionally, she is the only Aggie women’s basketball player to have her jersey number retired.

Watters has a long history of coaching success in New Mexico and holds the record for the most wins by a coach in the state. He coached 11 state championship football teams at Clayton High School. In addition, he accumulated 526 career victories over more than 30 years in coaching. Fields also had an impressive career. He coached UNM’s golf program to 9 NCAA Championships and received many national awards for his accomplishments as a coach.

The induction ceremony begins at 5 p.m. on June 27 at the Clyde Hotel in downtown Albuquerque. Hall of Fame officials said the event will celebrate athletes and coaches whose achievements have left an enduring impact on sports in New Mexico and serve as a reminder of the state’s rich athletic history.

In-N-Out Burger Eyes Third Restaurant in Albuquerque

In-N-Out Burger is expanding its presence in Albuquerque with plans for a third location, signaling continued growth for the California-based chain as it prepares to enter the New Mexico market.

City documents reviewed by local media show developers are planning a new restaurant on Albuquerque’s West Side. This new addition comes alongside two previously announced locations.

In-N-Out previously announced sites at the University of New Mexico’s South Campus in the Lobo Crossing retail development and in the Cottonwood Mall area. These will be two of the expected first In-N-Out locations in New Mexico.

Project documents show that the new location will add to the company’s existing portfolio in the metro area. Construction timelines and opening dates have not yet been announced. Both company representatives and development teams are progressing with site plan development. They are also working on permit applications.

The expansion is part of In-N-Out’s broader growth strategy. The company, known for its limited menu and emphasis on quality control, has steadily expanded across the western United States while relying on a regional distribution network to maintain fresh ingredients. Additionally, it is following its desire to produce food of the highest quality.

The proposed South Campus location has generated strong community interest. University and development officials have said In-N-Out has drawn more public attention than any other business proposed for the retail development.

The announcement of a third Albuquerque location highlights the company’s confidence in the city’s growing market and consumer demand. Residents are awaiting additional details on construction schedules and opening dates as anticipation builds for the arrival of the iconic burger chain in New Mexico.

NMSU Students Gain Global Perspective on Agriculture during UK Trip

NMSU Students Gain Global Perspective on Agriculture during UK Trip

A transformative experience unfolded for student leaders at New Mexico State University during a recent United Kingdom trip. Beyond seeing familiar images from books and social media, students used their time there to explore the world-renowned destination. The experience shows how NMSU continues opening its doors for bigger adventures. 

Students shared a glimpse of their nine-day trip in May. For Savannah Tuss and Jayda Goodson, the journey was more than a sightseeing opportunity,  as it offered new insights into UK agriculture. 

“This trip was much more than a sightseeing opportunity,” said Tuss.

Tuss, a sophomore and state 4-H military ambassador, said they learned about agriculture from a global perspective. She said they also developed leadership skills while representing New Mexico 4-H. 

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity and would encourage other young people to take advantage of experiences like this whenever they can,” she said. 

Goodson, a sophomore and FFA 2025-2026 state president, said she enjoyed seeing the differences between agricultural production in England and the US. 

“Farms there are generally a lot smaller than many of our large-scale operations here, but the neat thing was that no matter the size of the farm, we all have the same goal: to provide food for our nation at a safe and economically sustainable capacity,” she said.

The NMSU delegation included 17 students from the 4-H and FFA Leadership Teams. Many of them traveled internationally for the first time, along with support staff.

The group visited farms, agricultural businesses, higher education institutions including Harper Adams University, and industry leaders across England and Wales.  

What Made the Trip Special for the Delegation 

“The trip was an incredible educational and cultural experience for the New Mexico 4-H Leadership team,” said Teresa Dean. 

“It provided youth with the opportunity to expand their understanding of international agriculture, leadership and global food systems while representing New Mexico abroad,” she said. 

Dean serves as Cooperative Extension Service Doña Ana County program director and state 4-H Leadership Team adviser.

The trip was funded through a private donation. It received support from the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., and New Mexico Department of Agriculture Sec. Jeff Witte.

“The ability to sit around a table and talk about our passions, no matter the background, is truly inspiring, especially for people in our generation,” Goodson said.

The group was introduced to the rich history, unique culture and deep-rooted traditions of the UK. They explored historic landmarks including Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Bletchley Park, the Tower of London, and the Palace of Westminster.

“From standing in places filled with centuries of history to visiting world-renowned landmarks, the trip helped students gain a broader understanding of the world while also building confidence, curiosity and appreciation for different cultures,” Dean said. 

“It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined agriculture, leadership, history and personal growth all into one journey,” she added. 

Why APS Food and Nutrition Services Is Upskilling Ahead of the New School Year

Why APS Food and Nutrition Services Is Upskilling Ahead of the New School Year

Albuquerque Public Schools continues to equip its staff with skills needed to better serve students. The district’s Food and Nutrition Services team recently participated in a state conference to exchange ideas and gain valuable training. The experience is especially important as they continue to champion healthy meals for students. 

After more than six years, APS made a major return to the annual New Mexico School Nutrition Association conference. The district sent 65 team members to take part in professional development, networking, and leadership opportunities.

The conference gathers school nutrition professionals to share ideas, learn best practices, and explore new approaches to serving students. It carries the theme “Facing the Future Together: Uniting Innovation, Scratch-Cooked, Fresh Meals and Community in School Nutrition.”

APS Executive Director of Food and Nutrition Services Marie Johnson said the conference provided essential training and resources from state agencies and industry partners. She added the event also gave team members opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from various districts.

Johnson said the conference also affirmed the district’s vision for the future of school meals.

Commitment to Healthy Meals and Staff Development

“Attending this conference reminded us of the important work we do every day for students,” Johnson said. “Our team is excited about the 2026-2027 school year and the opportunity to continue expanding scratch-made, minimally processed and culturally relevant menu options. We’re focused on serving meals that nourish students, celebrate our community and help every child thrive.”

In an earlier report, APS announced plans to make a major shift in school meal preparation. Starting August 7, district staff will prepare more than half of the menu items from scratch. To support the transition, the Food and Nutrition Services team will have to undergo a series of trainings to ensure proper plan implementation.

Johnson said there will be lots of training over the summer so the team is fully equipped by August. “All of our menus will be 51% scratch or more.” 

Johnson is a two-term past NMSNA president. She has long been involved in advancing school nutrition across New Mexico. During her tenure, she championed the state’s Healthy Universal School Meals law, which expanded access to nutritious meals for students.

Meanwhile, the event also included exciting news for APS. Area Manager Geri Garcia was elected NMSNA secretary and will serve for the next two school years.

The district’s participation in the conference reflects its commitment to investing in staff development. It also shows APS’ dedication to improve school meal programs for students and families.

Goodbye, Texas U-Turn? NMDOT Wants to Rename the ‘Texas U-Turn’ as It Debuts on I-25

Goodbye, Texas U-Turn? NMDOT Wants to Rename the ‘Texas U-Turn’ as It Debuts on I-25

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is encouraging residents to help rename a highway feature known across the Southwest as the “Texas U-turn,” a move that combines public engagement with a hint of interstate rivalry.

NMDOT is introducing a new Advanced U-turn (AUT) as part of the state’s ongoing Interstate 25 improvement project between Comanche Road and Montgomery Boulevard in Albuquerque. The project, according to officials, is already progressing ahead of schedule.

The design itself is simple yet efficient. Rather than forcing motorists exiting the freeway to pass through two traffic lights to make a U-turn, drivers remain in the far-left lane of the frontage road and execute a designated U-turn at or near the overpass, allowing them to travel the opposite route with fewer stops.

The design has long been associated with Texas. It is where sprawling frontage-road systems made the “Texas Turnaround” a popular feature of urban driving. Transportation planners have praised the design for reducing delays, streamlining flow, and easing congestion at key junctions.

But New Mexico officials are adamant about embracing the Lone Star branding. “Texas has famously named the AUTs ‘Texas Turnarounds,’ but we obviously aren’t Texas, and we honestly think we can do better,” the NMDOT said in a news release. “Plus, if our snowplow names have taught us anything, it is that there is a lot of creativity in the Land of Enchantment.”

The search for a new name comes amid a backdrop of rivalry between the neighboring states. To say that relations between New Mexico and Texas are tense is an understatement. Texas is considering annexation of several New Mexico counties.

Transportation officials appear keen to implement the new road feature. They want the new name to depict a distinct New Mexican identity.

NMDOT has opened a public contest seeking creative submissions inspired by New Mexico culture or reflective of the U-turn concept itself. Residents have until noon on June 26 to submit their entries to the naming contest through the department’s online portal. They may also scan a QR code included in promotional materials.

The rules are simple:

  • Each participant may submit only one name;
  • NMDOT will reject entries containing vulgar, profane, or otherwise inappropriate language; and
  • NMDOT will not consider politically inspired submissions, including references to politicians, campaign slogans or public figures.

The initiative underscores a bigger effort by NMDOT to involve the public in projects that often take place away from public view. Officials are turning an otherwise routine engineering upgrade into an opportunity to search for local identity.

The design may trace its roots to Texas. But New Mexico is determined to make it its own. Motorists in Albuquerque will soon be turning in an unmistakably New Mexican way.

Fire In Bear Grows To Almost 7,800 Acres, Containment Still On Going

Fire In Bear Grows To Almost 7,800 Acres, Containment Still On Going

The containment on Bear Fire currently burning in Gila National Forest is having its progress after a lightning caused it earlier this month.

The fire has burned down 7,769 acres and 35% has already been contained, around 18 miles southeast of Quemado.

Firefighters are holding and strengthening containment lines, avoiding the fire from spreading significantly. Aircrafts are still assigned to the fire for water drops, survey flights and to meet emergency medical needs.

“From the Slaughter Mesa helispot, the Wenatchee Helitack crew conducted a short haul proficiency flight, which ensures injured firefighters working in remote areas can be transported to medical care safely and rapidly. The crew members are all experienced wildland firefighters who serve multiple purposes and functions on the incident,” managers said.

The weather is expected to turn more warm and dry around the state. This prompts fire restrictions in Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest anf National Grasslands.

Meanwhile, Stage two restrictions will begin there Thursday and until last August. This means no off-roading, no smoking outside and other provisions or else you could face a heavy penalty.

Follow the authorities rule and trust them about containing the fire. With the improvement of the containment, it is possible that it will be fire out sooner or later.

Infant Formula Recalled, Hospitalized Three Infants Across the U.S. Here’s What Every Parent Needs to Know.

Infant Formula Recalled, Hospitalized Three Infants Across the U.S. Here’s What Every Parent Needs to Know.

Infant formula is not just another product on a grocery shelf. It is a lifeline for bleary-eyed parents juggling midnight feedings and endless diaper duty. That is why health officials are urging families to check their pantries after a nationwide recall of Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula. The product is now tied to three cases of infant botulism that have sent babies to hospitals in three states.

The New Mexico Department of Health warned the public after Nara Organics recalled all lots of its formula on June 13. The recall followed reports of infants in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington developing the rare but potentially deadly disease.

New Mexico has not reported any cases connected to the outbreak. Public health officials stress that geography offers little assurance, especially since the product is available nationwide through Target stores, Target’s online outlets, and the company’s website. Although New Mexico has not documented any confirmed infant botulism cases linked to this outbreak, this is one of those recalls parents cannot afford to ignore, health authorities said.

What is Infant Botulism?

Infant botulism is rare. But its consequences can be disastrous. Toxins cause the disease that attacks the nervous system; the illness can quickly develop from subtle symptoms to a life-threatening emergency.

“Once symptoms start, botulism can quickly become a medical emergency,” said Dr. Chad Smelser, deputy state epidemiologist for the New Mexico Department of Health. “Any infant a parent thinks might have botulism from using this recalled product should be evaluated by a medical professional immediately,” he added.

The challenge facing parents is that the early symptoms can be easy to miss. Early warning signs may not appear for up to two weeks after exposure. It begins with constipation, which can evolve into difficulty swallowing or weak sucking during feeding. Infants may develop drooping eyelids, eyes that appear misaligned, a weak or altered cry, sleepiness, difficulty breathing, and loss of head control resulting in a slack posture.

Those symptoms could resemble usual childhood ailments or simple fatigue. But health experts say that in this case, hesitation could be devastating.

The department has issued specific guidance for parents who may have the recalled formula at home. Officials advise parents to photograph the packaging and document the lot number and its use‑by date if they have already opened a container. Label the formula with “DO NOT USE” and store it safely away from bottles, formula preparation utensils, and other feeding supplies for no less than one month.

Infant Formula and Utensils

The reason is simple: if a baby develops symptoms, health investigators may ask for testing of the product. Parents can discard the formula after a month if the infant shows no symptoms.

Health authorities also urged parents to thoroughly wash all items used in preparing the formula, including bottles, mixing containers, and utensils, using hot soapy water. The recall serves as a reminder that infants are vulnerable and that it is important to check product safety alerts, especially when families mostly rely on national retailers and online shopping for essential supplies.

Public health officials say vigilance, not panic, is the right response. A quick look at the back of a formula container today could save a child tomorrow. Parents with non-urgent questions can contact the New Mexico Department of Health Helpline at 1-833-SWNURSE (1-833-796-8773) or text questions to 66364.

Love In Action Hosts Free Medical, Dental, and Vision Clinic for Uninsured in Albuquerque

Love In Action, Inc., is hosting free healthcare clinics on June 19–20, 2026, at the Albuquerque Convention Center. These clinics are for individuals who lack health insurance or have inadequate health insurance coverage. The clinic will be from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on both days.

At Love In Action’s free clinics, many volunteers from Love In Action, along with healthcare professionals, provide care to uninsured patients. The purpose of providing free clinics is to improve access to healthcare. In addition, the clinics aim to enhance the community’s well-being.

Upon arrival at the clinic, patients will register for care and undergo blood pressure and glucose testing for medical triage. Patients then receive referrals for medical, dental, or vision care based on individual needs. Love In Action has held similar free clinics throughout New Mexico, including in rural communities. The goal is to reach uninsured residents.

Individuals involved with Love In Action are able to receive free health screenings, dental care, and vision services. This increases individuals’ access to healthcare by enabling early diagnosis of health problems. Furthermore, it helps ease the financial burden on families struggling to afford such relief. It also helps them pay for the medical care already incurred.

The establishment of these clinics not only strengthens the communities’ healthcare support system but also ensures that uninsured individuals receive necessary health services. This effort is consistent with Love In Action’s broader mission of providing equitable access to healthcare for all New Mexico residents.

The Albuquerque clinic illustrates the capacity of non-profit organizations to address gaps found in the provision of healthcare services. Through their support for free health, dental, and vision care, Love In Action strengthens community support by providing preventive healthcare services. The clinic also advances the idea that compassion serves as a vital tool for promoting and sustaining public health.
