THE WESTERNER

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Joe Delk Is Everywhere

All year he's been using his fiddle to spread the word and raise money for good causes. All those Cowboy Dinner & Dances to protect our rural way of life and, of course, The Cowboys For Cancer Research. Here's one you may not know about: He was invited to play The Star Bangled Banner at the final performance of the PRCA Turquoise Circuit Finals. Just Joe solo on his fiddle. It was a beautiful, patriotic rendering that really stirred the crowd.
