📰 News we're reading
• Women level allegations at town museum director (scdailypress.com) — Residents packed Tuesday’s Silver City Town Council meeting to demand investigation or removal of the town’s museum director over alleged abusive behavior, while the mayor stayed publicly neutral and an outside probe was referred to the district attorney. Councilors also created a new Downtown Action Planning Committee and approved major grant-funded improvements for Swan Street, decisions that will shape daily life and traffic in town. 
• Endangered Mexican Wolf Crosses From New Mexico Into Chihuahua (biologicaldiversity.org) — From a Silver City vantage point, conservationists are celebrating a rare Mexican gray wolf, “Cedar,” successfully crossing from New Mexico into Chihuahua while warning that expanding border walls in the Bootheel could block future wildlife movement. The story highlights how wolves moving between U.S. and Mexican habitats boosts genetic diversity, and urges resistance to additional barriers that could isolate lobos and other species near our region.
