Pedestrian Fatality in International District | Santa Fe News

ABQ Ride is ending its 59-year-old Luminaria Bus Tour after just 586 riders last year — costing the city $200K, or over $340 per person — with many ticket holders failing to show up. Though heartbreaking for longtime fans, the transit agency isn’t abandoning the tradition: they’re teaming up with the Huning Castle Neighborhood Association to reimagine the celebration for 2027.

Three lives were swept away in a devastating flash flood on the Navajo Nation — Elsie Begay, her friend Dora Franklin, and Lucy Allison Mike, a bright 7-year-old third grader days from her birthday. Both women were dedicated educators; Lucy had just been crowned Miss Sanostee Day School. The family is asking for prayers and support to cover funeral costs as the community rallies together, reminding everyone of the deadly unpredictability of flash floods and the urgent need to heed weather warnings.

The New Mexico Lobos are cashing in big time—earning $1.6 million for their showdown with No. 24 Oklahoma, part of a high-stakes “guarantee game” tradition where smaller programs take on Power Five foes for massive payouts. This year, they’ve already won two such games, raking in $530K total, but the window is closing fast. As major conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC push toward nine conference games, non-conference slots—and lucrative matchups—are shrinking. The ACC’s move in the same direction means fewer opportunities for schools like New Mexico to land these financial lifelines. While losing these games isn’t catastrophic, the shifting landscape forces athletic departments to adapt or risk fading into the background of college football’s growing revenue machine.
