Area students academy-bound
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Pete Domenici announced the names of
three high school students in Southeast New Mexico who he plans to
nominate for potential admission to one of the United States military service
academies this fall.
Nominees were selected on the recommendation of Domenici’s Academy
Review Board, following an intense interview and assessment process that
considered their academic, athletic, extracurricular, and leadership
abilities. Domenici is nominating a total of 50 New Mexico high school
seniors for possible admission to the academies.
“These students represent some of the finest young people New Mexico
has to offer, and I’m impressed by their demonstrated ability and
leadership,” said Domenici. “I’m sure they will represent New Mexico well as
they apply for admittance to these top-notch institutions, and I commend
their desire to work hard as they serve the United States.”
The following Southeast New Mexico-area students were nominated by
Domenici:
U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo.
* Marcus Alvidrez of Carlsbad, Carlsbad High School
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.
* Taylor Harris of Roswell, Goddard High School
* Zachariah Owens of Eunice, Eunice High School

“Beauty & Health” is part of our Smithsonian exhibit “Key Ingredients” public

The “Beauty & Health” program will be presented in an informal, come & go
format. Visitors are invited to come by and enjoy a sugar scrub treatment
on their hands, a simple facial and all-natural moisturizers as demonstrated

and pecans and dried herbs from our grounds as give-aways.
