Superintendent of Hobbs Municipal Schools TJ Parks said the bond between communities in southeast New Mexico might prove the cure to the long, drawn out months battling COVID-19.
The first case of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was identified in New Mexico in March 2019, prompting Parks, Carlsbad Municipal Schools (CMS) Superintendent Dr. Gerry Washburn and Artesia Public Schools (APS) Superintendent John Ross Null to deepen communication to work on behalf of their respective cities. Our communities have an awful lot in common. We have much more in common than we would from somebody in northern New Mexico. We share ideas, concerns and I think we ve had to come together because we re kind of all alone out here and I think without each other it would be more difficult to survive what we ve gone through, Parks said.

We offer our condolences to the family of Verna Stell, who passed away on Feb. 5. Graveside services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday. Verna’s husband, State Representative Joe Stell, passed away in October. Together, Verna and Joe worked very hard for Carlsbad and the entire state for many years on numerous conservation and water issues. Joe was elected as a state representative of District 54 in 1986 and was named “Mr. Water” by former governor Bill Richardson. Verna was also one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, and she was extremely dedicated to charitable causes and making the world a better place. Anyone wishing to make a donation in her memory may do so to the Joe & Verna Stell Charitable Fund within the Carlsbad Community Foundation Inc. or online at www.carlsbadfoundation.org.
