    Triple-Digit Heat, a Packed Weekend of Events, and WIPP Concerns | Mid-Week Matters

    This week’s Mid-Week Matters covers Eddy County’s ongoing triple-digit heat, a full weekend of local events, and the latest WIPP and Permian Basin news. The hot, dry stretch holds through the weekend, so drink your water and check on elderly neighbors. United Way of Eddy County and the Roadrunner Food Bank hold a food distribution Friday at Epworth Methodist Fellowship in Carlsbad — plus a busy weekend ahead with an art walk, a women’s health conference, and Artesia’s new Recreation Center grand opening. Also in this episode: an update on WIPP shipment concerns, New Mexico’s crackdown on Permian Basin methane “super emitters,” and the latest on a Carlsbad hit-and-run investigation. Tune in for the full rundown. Aired on KCCC 930 AM Radio and available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and through our website (www.kccc930am.com).

    Ghosts, History, and New Mexico Legends with Author Donna Blake Burchell | Community Forum

    Today’s Community Forum speaks with local author and historian Donna Blake Burchell for a conversation about haunted New Mexico, Carlsbad history, and her theory on why our state is one of the most haunted in the country. Donna talks with host Hattie Quinn about her New Mexico ghost story series — including local legends like the Waitress of the Trinity Hotel — and her theory that the state’s volcanic history and residual energy from tragic events explain so many of its hauntings. She also shares details on her upcoming book, Haunted White Sands, co-written with Roswell author John LeMay. The conversation also covers Donna’s work as archivist for Southeast New Mexico College, her forthcoming book on Bronco Sue — thought to be New Mexico’s first female serial killer — and her advice for staying motivated and meeting deadlines as a working author.
