Marshal: Fireworks too risky in dry areas
Tricia Remark | June 28A ban on fireworks in certain areas of Bernalillo County went into effect Wednesday, just in time for the Fourth of July. No fireworks, including sparklers and fountains, are allowed in areas east of Tramway Boulevard to the west face of the Sandias, the East Mountains and the Rio Grande Bosque, said Chris Gober, Bernalillo County fire marshal. “Wildlife, trees and grasses — that’s starting to dry out and getting to a critical level, so we’re trying to limit the number of human-caused wildfires,” he said. Gober said there are between 30 and 40 wildfires caused by fireworks every year, which is why the county implemented the ban.

June 21Editor, As a director of Conexiones 2010, I very much appreciate Tricia Remark’s recent article, “Provost: Juarez Unfit for Travel.” Conexiones/Mexico, under the auspices of the University Honors Program and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, has served as many as 600 UNM students with a Spanish language/Mexican culture program of studies since 1986, located in our field center in Morelia, Michoacan. This year we arrived at the sad decision that security issues both at the border and in Michoacan were elevated to the extent that our ability to present the program was compromised.
