June 4 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street - "UUA Article II Revision: Calling Us to Action”
Carlos Price, Board President of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City, will discuss the prospective changes to Article II of the Unitarian Universalist Association’s by-laws, which was last amended in 1985.
“Article II is an essential part of the UUA’s by-laws in that it lays out important statements that define what UU is and what its member congregations hold as values. It addresses the purpose of the Association, sources of inspiration for our beliefs, the Seven Principles, and our views toward tolerance and acceptance. The new version is intended to take us beyond verbal acceptance and call us to action, to covenant together to do something in the world to act on our beliefs and values,” Price said.
He added, “After months of meetings with Unitarian Universalists from all over the country, the Article II Study Commission released their report and is accepting comments. At the 2023 General Assembly the delegates will vote on the final report."
Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District preparing for prescribed fire

Weather and fuels conditions support achieving prescribed fire resource objectives
RESERVE, NM, May 28, 2023 – The Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District is preparing to implement two prescribed fires beginning Tuesday, May 30, given appropriate fuels and weather conditions. The two prescribed fire units are the 1,931-acre Cold Springs unit, located along Forest Road 94 southeast of Apache Creek, and the 1,592-acre Sheep Basin unit, located south of the Village of Reserve (acres corrected for both units).
Live fuels are holding high moisture content making them resistant to burning, while dead and down logs and other surface fuels are dry enough to be consumed. These conditions are ideal for achieving fuels reduction for community protection and forest restoration objectives identified in the Cold Springs and Sheep Basin project areas. Thirty miles to the southeast, other fire crews are using a confine and contain strategy in response to the lightning-caused Pass wildfire, allowing fire to play its natural role in fire-dependent forest. Though prescribed fire and wildfire are distinctly different, both can be tools for achieving similar resource objectives.
