E-mail Print PDF
Pay your employees better wages and follow your own operating policies, as well as HR standards. When hiring, you should already have a value scale for education, experience, skills, and certifications. This value scale is used to determine what the position’s total value is as far as base pay.

Part 1 of 2: What “Can Be Done”

During the Town Hall Meeting last week at the Milan Recreation Center, it was apparent that no one had a plan of action on “what to do,” or even a direction on “where to go from here” in order to support community and the economy.

Words like crisis and blame were used to express the lay-offs that have been taking place in Cibola County.  For years I have been pondering over these very issues, but prior to now it was the “what if” these things happen.

A number of elected officers for local government and representatives for the New Mexico delegation were present to make statements and hear what the people had to say about the local loss of so many jobs.  Each one spoke in...

E-mail Print PDF
When the founders of the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine first contemplated positioning a medical school in Southern New Mexico, they hired nationally recognized consulting firm Tripp Umbach to conduct a feasibility study.

The study found that this region not only has a critical shortage in health-care providers, but that the current physician workforce “does not represent the regional population ethnicity and is less able to deliver culturally competent care.”

Plans to change that were immediately put into BCOM’s mission.

According to Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer George Mychaskiw II, DO, part of the solution is tailoring the curriculum with language courses...

Letter to the editor: Expulsion of drunks, not jail

E-mail Print PDF
If WE choose to ignore reality and simply go about our own business, reality has a way of hitting us in the face. The governor and Mr. Munoz are dead set on l-o-n-g-e-r sentences for the problem drunks. Reality tell’s us that the drunk population will continue to grow eternally. longer sentences and a never ending supply of problem drunk’s would mean that the tax payer’s would N-E-V-E-R stop paying for all of the medical, dental and eye glass needs, shelter, utilities, beds, clothing, shoes, food and eventually all burial expenses, of ALL of these problem drunks.
