A second airplane has joined the San Juan Regional Medical Center’s AirCare fleet, expanding the nearly 40-year-old service capabilities. 100% San Juan County invites you to the soft opening of its Community Compass Center, a single location to link individuals in San Juan County with the resources they need. Waste Management wants your New Year’s resolution to be recycle right, and they’re here to help. And the New Mexico Department of Transportation offers top tips on how to stay safe on winter roads. You’re watching the Local News Roundup, brought to you by ACE Hardware of Farmington and Three Rivers Brewery, I’m Connor Shreve. The San Juan Regional Medical Center added a second airplane to its AirCare fleet to provide expanded services to the Four Corners community. The new plane, AirCare 3, is a Pilatus PC-12 Legacy and joins AirCare 1, a Bell 429 chopper, and AirCare 2, Pilatus PC-12. SJRMC is pleased to announce the addition as it comes after several years of planning and discussions on how to continue to best utilize the AirCare service. Since its beginning in 1986, AirCare has provided emergency medical flights and care and service to nearly 30,000 patients during its tenure. 100% San Juan County invites you to a soft launch of the Community Compass Center. January 30th at 1:00 PM. 100% San Juan County is part of the 100% New Mexico Initiative, which seeks to ID vital services for the people of New Mexico to survive and thrive. 100% San Juan County focuses on connecting San Juan County services and the people who need them. The new Community Compass Center will serve as a hub for residents connecting them with essential services across sectors to streamline access. The soft opening will be at the PMS Marion room. And mark your calendars for the red ribbon opening Thursday, February 13th at 4:00 PM. Make 2025 the year you recycle right with three basic rules from waste management. One, recycle bottles, cans, flatten cardboard, and paper. Two, keep food and liquid out of your recyclables. And three, remove bags from recycling and do not recycle bagged materials in Farmington. Foam cups and containers, glass items, batteries and green waste also cannot be recycled. Non-recyclable items can end up contaminating entire loads of materials and make it impossible to recycle. So do make sure to abide by the tips above to ensure your recycling is accepted. With winter weather underway, the New Mexico Department of Transportation reminds drivers to stay safe this winter. Before starting any trip, make sure your vehicle is prepared with a full tank of gas and other fluids, working headlights, good battery, and a fully stocked winter weather kit. Check the road conditions ahead of your trip, either on the NMDOT website or by calling 511. In snowy or icy road conditions, slow down, give room to other cars, and make sure everyone is buckled in. Do not use cruise control in winter driving conditions. If driving with snowplows present, leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the plow and don’t rush or crowd the plows on snowy roads.
