What's New in Desert Exposure

June is bustin’ out all over, and as messy as that sounds, you can count on Desert Exposure to clear it all up for you. First we go to the rodeo, with a preview of Silver City’s Wild, Wild West Pro Rodeo, a history of rodeo and a greenhorn’s guide to the events. Then, from bull and bronco wrangling we switch to bee wrangling, paying a visit to area apiarists to learn all about honey production—and how these busy insects pollinate the sources of much of our food.

Across the border, we chronicle the story of La Casa de Amor Para Ninos in Palomas, as the former orphanage embarks on its next chapter. And columnist Marjorie Lilly visits a Palomas park that symbolizes the town’s changing spirit.

Still farther afield, we report on two Silver City doctors’ mission to Nigeria, where local conditions forced them to go back to basics to help the people who lined up for care.

Then come on back to Southwest New Mexico, where we’ve discovered a New York-style pizza parlor (run by a real New Yorker) on the outskirts of Deming. Want still more surprises? Also in this issue, "conservative" columnist Henry Lightcap endorses gay marriage and "liberal" editor David Fryxell criticizes a proposed tax increase.

Think you’ve seen it all? Come on inside.
