Mid-Week Matters: A Screwworm at the Door and a Heat Advisory

This week’s Mid-Week Matters is packed. The days ahead are full — senior center bake sales, a golf tournament with the Mayor, three thousand rubber ducks hitting the water for a very good cause, and a calendar’s worth of summer reading programs at both the Artesia and Carlsbad libraries. And looking further out, the Fourth of July is shaping up to be something special as America marks 250 years.Then there’s the news you’ll want to hear in full. A flesh-eating parasite has reached New Mexico’s doorstep, and Carlsbad’s City Council just received a formal briefing on it — what it means for Eddy County’s ranching and dairy families, what to watch for, and exactly who to call. Plus a state surplus tied to global events, road work in Artesia, and a project update or two closer to home.There’s also a quick look at where to find the record of your local government’s most recent meetings, and the usual check on weather — including the heat heading our way.Press play for the whole rundown.Aired on KCCC 930 AM Radio and available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and through the Eddy County Dispatch (kccc930am.substack.com) or our website (www.kccc930am.com).The Eddy County Dispatch, presented by KCCC 930 AM, is a reader-supported publication.
