We have lots of content in this month’s issue regarding the work being done in our community and close locations; from the “Valencia: Willmot to Kolb Project,” Amazon coming the Tucson area, as well as our regular reporting in the Highways and Byways and Construction Zone sections. In addition, each month we have stories of the work of the many...
by Mike Lavelle In previous issues I have written articles on trips in the southwest area of Arizona and New Mexico. However, this past 21st of July, I decided to attend the 2nd annual “Spanish Summer Night” event at Flying Leap Vineyards and Distillery. I reasoned that since my wife and I had no special trips planned this year, and a...
by Kimberly Crossland It seems like there’s a recurring theme in a lot of people’s lives—the theme of never feeling like enough. Not a present enough parent. Not a productive enough employee. Not a healthy enough cook. Not spic and span enough around the house. Not strong enough. Not fast enough. Not enough. And yet, there’s an equally common...
Having spent many years working at a university, August always was my “back in the saddle” month, following much appreciated summer season respite. August had that feeling like vacation was over and I had to get back to work (with some excitement and a bit of stress – like our new intern Sophia Caporale writes about in page 12). In this issue...
by Mike Lavelle In the last issue, I referenced a recent 5 day trip visiting Las Cruces, White Sands National Monument, Ruidoso, Hatch, and Silver City, all in New Mexico. In this issue, I will cover visiting the New Mexico town of Las Cruces, (the crosses) or more formally, “The City of the Crosses.” The name possibly stems from a site marking...

For one year she made the conscious choice to eliminate one decision from her day by deciding in advance what to wear every day. She got the idea after having a stressful Monday morning in...
by Kimberly Crossland One of my favorite quotes is from Barbara Bush. She says, “People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring.” And yet, I’m guilty of being one of those people who worry about my hair, makeup, clothes, and general outward appearance and inward emotions. Do I feel confident enough to send this article to the...
by Mike Lavelle As summer arrives, there are many places to visit in the southwest, for either a day’s drive or an overnight stay. I recently went on a 5-day trip with some friends visiting Las Cruces, White Sands National Monument, Ruidoso, Hatch, and Silver City, all in New Mexico. In the next few issues, I will cover visiting the New Mexico...
The Vail Voice congratulates our recent high school graduates and our graduated NJROTC cadets (page 26) as they continue on their path to military service. We continue to have information on new construction and new businesses. For example, we have a story on a new library coming to the Vail area (on page 21). Similarly, (on page 11), the Vail...
Dear Heather, I have worked at my job for about ten years. I have a great team, and through the years have formed many relationships with my coworkers. At times, I feel like we are a big family that has grown up together. Recently, however, one of our team members has become increasingly difficult. It seems that this individual is at the...
