SANTA TERESA – U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., paid a visit to the Santa Teresa Port of Entry Wednesday morning for a tour and briefing on upgrades in progress at the port as well as the needs of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
Heinrich toured the complex with his staff, but port authorities barred reporters from following. The senator spoke with reporters from the
Las Cruces Sun-News in the parking lot at the end of his visit.
In Washington, Heinrich sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee and is Vice-Chair of the Joint Economic Committee. He said the purpose of his visit was getting my pulse on exactly what has changed, what we need to invest in to continue positioning Santa Teresa as a regional alternative to a lot of these ports of entry that have come under strain over the years.

HUBBARD TOWNSHIP Wanting to help provide local residents with places they can get answers to questions for their children who may have special needs, a community resource fair took place recently at the Corner House Christian Church.
Hubbard Township police officer Justin Meade said the event brought together different nonprofit organizations and agencies that set up display tables.
Meade, whose son has autism, said many families may not know where to go for information and materials to meet the special needs of their children.
One local organization at the fair was the K-Dogs Kidz a local nonprofit that presents anti-bullying programs. Don Rozman, founder of K-Dogs Kidz, said they have members present programs in schools and do events such as escorting children in their cars from school or other locations to show support to them.
