August 3, at 11:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Bringing the Mountain Home"

Gale Green said, "When I first began to attend this gathering place, this Fellowship, I was intrigued by the simple mural of a mountain landscape we faced on the wall facing us every Sunday morning. It took me several months to become aware that 'Hey! I think that's Bear Mountain!' Why is that here? What does that mean for me?"

Green will reflect upon a book titled "Bringing the Mountain Home," by SueEllen Campbell. Campbell talks about wilderness as perhaps a place we should go to, to get lost, lose our familiar ways, to find ourselves a creature among other creatures.

"What causes our senses to open to wonder? What has happened to wonder in our lives? My life?  Your life? Have our faces become so implanted in our cell phones that we miss the wonder of the world around us? Has our wonder narrowed to the worlds of the entertainment gods and music monarchs?" she asked.

 "How long has it been since you were literally 'stopped in your shoes' as a dear friend of mine used to say?" Green added. "SueEllen Campbell says it is a deeply loved landscape which holds us fast to the planet."

Tom Simon, Governor of Rotary District 5520, will speak to the Silver City Rotary Club next Tuesday at noon. The district is comprised of 69 clubs in New Mexico and West Texas. Mr. Simon will discuss news of the district.

Tom believes that Rotary provides a unique platform for individuals to join with people who believe in Rotary tenets and the concept of "Service Above Self", to pool their resources, and apply their collective skills towards addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, enabling them to achieve a greater positive impact together than they could ever accomplish alone. Tom believes that when Rotarians around the world and of diverse backgrounds, cultures, political and religious beliefs come together to serve the greater good, they move our world a little closer to peaceful coexistence and reconciliation.

Truth or Consequences, NM, July 21, 2025—Recent monsoon rains and flash flooding have resulted in washouts on Forest Road 226 (Chloride Canyon Road) on the Gila National Forest, Black Range Ranger District. Although no closure is in effect, visitors are advised to use  the road at their own risk. Steep drop-offs at each of the road's frequent creek crossings are an entrapment hazard for passenger vehicles and some trucks. If you go, travel by non-motorized means or off-highway vehicle is recommended.

July 27, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street –  "Calming the Nervous System in Turbulent Times"

"No one would argue that we are living in the most trying of times. While staying on top of what's happening worldwide is at our fingertips 24/7, the content of the information we are regularly accessing can quickly send us into states of fear, anger, resentment and even despair," Diane Smith said.

"How do we process the suffering and lack of safety that so many both at home and abroad are experiencing right now? As empaths we often can't help but hold the pain in our own minds and bodies. As a result, our emotions may shift us into various defensive nervous system states that are hard to name… harder still to shake off," she added.

Smith explained that Polyvagal Theory is a scientific model which explains how through evolution our nervous systems were wired to help us survive by scanning our environment for safety. It offers some pearls of wisdom that just may unlock a key to calming our own nervous systems in turbulent times.

 To combat such meat industry images as dancing pigs and chickens wearing aprons as they gaily make their way to the dinner plate, PETA plans to "educate to liberate" diners on their way into Little Toad Creek Brewery & Distillery and other Silver City eateries that serve pork on Sunday with its "Hell on Wheels" hyper-realistic pig transport truck. The vehicle—which looks as if it contains real pigs on their way to slaughter—will deliver an education (and an earful) with  actual recorded sounds of the animals' panicked screams along with a subliminal message every 10 seconds suggesting that people go vegan.

 PETA is setting out to empower diners to reconsider their food choices but drawing attention to what—or who—is on their plates, and has reached out to restaurants along the truck's route, including Little Toad Creek Brewery & Distillery, to offer to help them add vegan options to their menus thereby increasing their customer base and being kind to animals too. Meat-free options may become a key part of business as alpha-gal syndrome, a meat and dairy allergy triggered by a tick bite, is on the rise across the country.
