Temporarily Away From Office but Not Unavailable

I have been away from the Mountainair Dispatch office beginning Wednesday, August 5, 2026, for treatment related to kidney stones and will be back in the hospital to address additional stones in the coming weeks. I will remain available throughout for tips, questions, advertising, and breaking developments on any story - physically when possible (I do not intend this to be an extended leave of absence), by phone and text (719-496-1660, unsecured communication), email (todd@mountainairdispatch.com for unsecured communication; additional email available for higher levels of secure, encrypted communication as conditions warrant it), and Signal (mtndispatch.99). Additional secure communication methods are available under appropriate circumstances for communications and file drops.
