Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Silver Alert issued for missing El Paso man, 72, who needs medication (kfoxtv.com) — El Paso police have issued a Local Silver Alert for 72-year-old Guadalupe Perez Ramirez, who disappeared Tuesday morning after leaving his central El Paso home to walk to Nachitas Grocery and never arriving. Because he has a medical condition requiring medication, residents are urged to watch for him and call police or 911 immediately with any information.
2. Live Active El Paso Brings Fall Hike-A-Thon Series to El Paso (kvia.com) — El Paso residents are invited to join the city's free Fall Sunset Hike-A-Thon series, running from September 10 through October 22 on local trails. With beginner to moderate routes and evening start times, the program encourages families and individuals to stay active, enjoy desert scenery, and earn prizes for completing multiple hikes while exploring parks close to home.
3. Man admits fleeing El Paso County Sheriff deputy stop because he wanted 'the rush' (ktsm.com) — A 25-year-old driver was arrested after allegedly fleeing an El Paso County Sheriff's deputy during a high-speed incident in far East El Paso, later telling the deputy he did it for "the rush." He was charged with evading arrest with a vehicle, booked on a $5,000 bond, and has since been released, prompting a safety reminder from Sheriff Oscar Ugarte about the dangers of fleeing traffic stops.
4. Childcare subsidy program facing cuts; El Paso among hardest hit in the state (cbs4local.com) — El Paso families who rely on childcare subsidies are facing nearly 2,000 lost seats as the Texas Workforce Commission orders sharp cuts tied to lower enrollment and rising childcare costs. New enrollment is paused, waitlisted parents must respond to periodic check-ins to keep their spot, and local providers warn closures or reduced classrooms could strain working families and the city's workforce.
5. Canutillo, El Paso ISDs offer free athletic admissions for students (ktsm.com) — If you have students in El Paso ISD, they can now get into school athletic events for free all year by showing a current school ID, with elementary kids admitted without one.
