Letter: Save the bees, save our food

I sure like food, don’t you? Without food, as a matter of fact, there would stop being people. We are getting closer and closer to running out of bees that pollinate over 70 percent of our foods. In the last year, over 50 percent of bee colonies died in New Mexico due to a recently popular pesticide called Neonics.

Football: Adcock excels in the classroom and on the field

“Physically, you look at him and he’s not the most imposing figure. But he’s a self-made guy, academically and athletically; he just works his tail off.” Offensive line coach Jason Lenzmeier had that to say about his 6-foot-2-inch 290 pound senior tackle, Garrett Adcock. Football players have to give a lot on the field both mentally and physically, but there is much more than meets the eye with this student athlete.

Letter: New Mexico's water needs to be protected

As a native New Mexican and a college student, I care a lot about having clean drinking water in this city. Not having clean drinking water is a big problem for all of us. But it's especially a big problem for our kids and future generations of New Mexicans. Growing up in New Mexico my father and I went on a lot of river rafting trips in New Mexico on rivers like the Rio Chama and a lot of the other rivers.

Letter: I drink no booze

I drink no booze. Booze has devastated the lives of many of my friends. Booze causes car crashes, paralyzing and killing thousands, including my niece Rachel. Booze causes awful family fights, ruined romances, horrible holiday memories ... I do not want to make it easier for me to say or do things I later terribly regret. Men wake up in jail not remembering stabbing their wife or buddy while drunk the night before.
