Rio Rancho City Hall and Sandoval County offices close Monday May 29 for Memorial Day and reopen Tuesday morning. The Observer also notes holiday deadlines with display ads due by noon May 25 and classified ads by noon May 26. Press releases remain due by 5 p.m. Thursday.
Rio Rancho observes Memorial Day with a 15th annual parade starting at 10 a.m. Monday from Country Club Drive to Veterans Park near City Hall. Grand Marshal John Kay, guest speaker Luis Madrid, and judges include Capt. Robert Allen, Arturo Boniello, and Toby Geibig. A 11:30 a.m. service follows at Vista Verde Memorial Park. An 8:30 a.m. memorial service at St. Thomas Aquinas precedes the parade, with Buddy Poppy sales May 26-28 by VFW Post 5890 and auxiliary.
Mary Beth King reports in the Observer that Congressmen Bill Richardson opened a Rio Rancho City Hall office with a town hall and open house drawing mixed reactions. Delores Sherrod of the San Bem Federated Republican Women's Club says the space violates nonpartisanship, while Mayor Swisstack argues the move aims to improve accessibility to constituents and federal representation. The Rio Rancho office handles casework from White House tours to social security and visas, with Molly Kraft managing duties and inviting appointments.
Mike Ryan announces Katie Racette joins The Observer as staff reporter and photographer. Albuquerque native and Colorado College graduate, she has worked as a freelancer in Tucson and for Arizona papers before returning to New Mexico in March to cover general news, features, and West Side events.
