    Eddy County Drone Soccer League | Community Forum

    In this episode of Community Forum, host Hattie Quinn sits down with teammates Joe Garza and David Baber of the new Eddy County Drone Soccer League. Garza and Baber walk through what it took to get the league off the ground — a marathon training video, fourteen hand-built drones, and hours spent learning to fly them, complete with two very different piloting styles the team now calls "Joe mode" and "David mode." Hattie describes drone soccer as something like a combination of BattleBots and Quidditch. Joe Garza and David Baber in the learning process, March 2026. The teams looks ahead to the league’s first all-team scrimmage this October, the volunteer coaches, referees, and scorekeepers still needed to make it happen, and a few of Southeast New Mexico College’s other programs, including a free commercial driver’s license course for Eddy County residents.

    The Ann Halford Interview | Community Forum

    In this episode of Community Forum on KCCC 930 AM, owner Jonathan Chandler sits down with Ann Halford, known throughout Eddy County as the $2-Bill Lady, for a conversation on love, compassion, and community. At 97, Ann reflects on the family history that shaped her, the decades-long tradition of handing out $2 bills that grew out of a Reader’s Digest article, and the two mission trips to Swaziland that left, in her words, “a big piece of her heart” in Africa. Ann shares what she hopes her small acts of kindness leave behind, saying, “It’s not about me. It’s about what can I do to help to ease other people’s lives.” Aired on KCCC 930 AM Radio and available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and through our website (www.kccc930am.com).
