  • Madrid celebrates its rebirth

    After 40 years of Madrid’s rebirth from it’s early history and 20 years of ghostliness. Madrid is planning to celebrate its “Rebirth Day/ Cinco de Mayo, 1973-2013.”
    That day is the day the Johnsons of Madrid opened their gallery and coincidentally Joe Huber’s birthday. Huber inherited the coal company and the town, preserved and cared for it during the ghost town days along with caretakers — Johnnie Ochoa and family.
    Huber rented to many young people after the Johnsons’ arrival — all renting for two years, and then all were able to purchase their places ... and the rest is history.
    Madrid now has 50 businesses, 30 galleries and about 300 people.
    The plan is to have different events, every weekend in May, then celebrate the anniversary every year.
    Events include:
    • Exhibits — May 4-June 25 (in one of N.M.’s largest galleries, changing exhibits each month).”First Saturday” receptions:  May 4, 3-5 p.m.
    • Two exhibitions celebrating Madrid’s 40th Rebirth-day:
    • Gallery full of images, posters, objects, etc. from new Madrid’s history, May 5, 1973 to present, provided by Madrid area folks.

  • Y camp helps kids stay active during summer break

    The Family YMCA is offering Y Camp to give kids and teens an adventurous, active and healthy summer.
    Our Y Camp offers youth fun and unique experiences with an opportunity to explore, meet new friends, discover new interests and create memories that last a lifetime.
    Nearly 50 percent of parents in the United States say technological distractions, such as television, cell phones, or video games make it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle for their children, according to the latest findings of the YMCA’s Family Health Snapshot, a survey that gauges children’s activity levels during the school year.
    With more free time in summer, ensuring that kids practice healthy habits could be a greater challenge.
    The Y encourages parents to help their kids unplug from technology and explore all that Y Camp has to offer.
    “Attending Y Camp is a wonderful opportunity for kids to keep their minds and bodies active,” says Janine Morales, Childcare Director. “When at Y Camp, kids get to learn, take on new responsibilities, gain independence, develop essential social skills and new relationships. We really encourage parents to give their kids the gift of camp so that every child can benefit from the experience.”
    Here are five reasons why children and teens should attend Y Camp:
