Project HOPE will be returning to Reserve, Quemado and Glenwood to conduct more free screenings for the community. We provide free testing for glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index and A1C tests for those already diagnosed as diabetics. Participants do not have to fast in order to take these tests – just drink plenty of water before coming. Participants will have a written copy of their test results when they leave the screening, which they can share with their doctor.
We will also be conducting an eye exam which will check for diseases of the eye. This test does not dilate the eyes so there will be no problems with driving afterwards.

SAN AUGUSTIN PLAINS WATER GRAB MOTIONS TO BE HEARD 02/07/12
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, February 03, 2012
SAN AUGUSTIN PLAINS WATER GRAB MOTIONS TO BE HEARD
SANTA FE, N.M.— After four years of delays and false starts, the State Engineer is finally hearing motions to dismiss an application to take 54,000 acre-feet of groundwater annually from Catron County. The application, filed by a New York based corporation, is being protested by over 200 residents who live in and around Datil, NM – an area known as the San Augustin Plains. The residents fear that the San Augustin basin that supplies their wells with water and contributes flow to the Rio Grande and Gila River stream systems will be decimated if the application is granted. The New Mexico Environmental Law Center (NMELC) represents over 80 Protestants.
NMELC filed a motion to dismiss the application one year ago. “The application must be thrown out because it does not comply with basic New Mexico law,” said Bruce Frederick, NMELC Staff Attorney. “The corporation’s application seeks a permit to use or sell a vast amount of water for any purpose within seven New Mexico counties. Under New Mexico law, however, the corporation was required to identify exactly how and where it intends to use the water, and its failure to do so means that the State Engineer cannot consider or approve its application.”

WHAT: Hearing before State Engineer addressing motions to dismiss the water rights application
WHERE: Socorro County Courthouse
