Tucumcari Fire & Rescue Chief Garrett Nash resigned last Friday after being placed on paid administrative leave on May 2 amid an internal personnel probe. City manager Paula Chacon said the resignation had no stated reasons.

Memorial Day reflections and a call to remember all who helped America
A Quay County Sun column argues Memorial Day should honor all Americans who contributed to the nation, not only those who died in service. It links the holiday to recognizing God as Creator and provider and urges regular church attendance as a public reminder of faith and salvation. Leonard Lauriault, Church of Christ in Logan, writes this faith centered piece.
