La Entrada Moved

The La Entrada Monument is gone -- moved to storage.

The removal of the monument is part of the renovation to restore Main Street and remove the Downtown Mall. This reverses the most disastrous public policy decision in Las Cruces history, which closed the historic old street and converted it to a semi-open mall.

La Entrada's creator Anthony Pennock supervised the monument's disassembly. A new location for the monument has not been selected.

Friday -- 7 pm

According to the local paper, the deadline given by the Las Cruces Blackmailer is 7 pm, Friday, November 3. If the blackmailer isn't paid an undisclosed amount by that time, he (or she) threatens to start shooting school children.

"More bodies will fall. Now they will fall in school yards. Don't believe us? Try us again."

Police are taking this threat extremely seriously. Schools are being kept locked, outside activities are banned, and extra police are patrolling schools.

A letter released to parents by the Las Cruces Public Schools requested that parents cooperate with the following new security measures:

* Please sign in when visiting our building.
* Doors will be locked, please enter through the front door only.
* Help us look for suspicious cars, people or anything out of the ordinary around our campus.
