Calista Animal Hospital of Las Cruces has scheduled a rattlesnake vaccination clinic for Talavera area residents on Sunday, March 21st 9-11AM at the Fire Station. The cost is $20 per vaccination.
Everyone who lives in the Talavera area knows that rattlesnakes are a fact of life in our neighborhood. You have all probably seen them, like this guy, who showed up at my front door last September. While our Western Diamondbacks are not aggressive, they will defend themselves, especially against nosy pets. This is you chance to vaccinate your pets against rattlesnake bites. If your pet has not been vaccinated before, it will require a booster approximately 30 days after the first vaccination. Calista Animal Hospital has scheduled a second vaccination clinic for Sunday, April 18th, also from 9 – 11 AM at the fire station.
Calista Animal Hospital has requested that anyone who would like to take advantage of these vaccinations to please call the Calista Animal Hospital at 644-9721 and leave your name and the number of dogs you will be bringing. This is only to insure that clinic staff have enough vaccine on hand the day of the clinic.
Remember, Rattlesnake vaccination clinic on Sunday, March 21st, 9 – 11 AM at the Fire Station.

TCA Board member Helen Zagona attended the Las Cruces City Council meeting pn Monday February 22. At the council meeting, the annexation of the new high school and traffic improvements were discussed. Here is Helen’s report:
Here is a brief update of changes in the situation involving the new high school traffic. Yesterday the Las Cruces City Council did vote to annex the new high school area as reported in the Sun-News. Many thanks to those who came to the Council Meeting. Even those who did not speak helped our cause by being present. The Council did notice our presence and listened to those of us who did speak about our concerns. The Sun-News got some of the details of the plans for the roads, not all were correct.

 Daren Bloomquist At right is long-time Talavera resident Daren Bloomquist. Daren was presented with an ‘Outstanding Citizen Award’ at the February 20th meeting of the Talavera Community Association. The award was in recognition of Daren’s many contributions to the Talavera neighborhood. In addition to coordinating the neighborhood road cleanups for the past 18 years, Daren is a past president and founding member of the Soledad Canyon Homeowners Association (the forerunner of todday’s TCA), 11 year member of the Los Alturas Volunteer Fire Department, and has given his time unselfishly for the improvement of the Talavera neighborhood. You can read the full list of Daren’s contributions to our neighborhood in the minutes of last Saturday’s general meeting. The minutes can be found here,and on the TCA Meeting Minutes page of the web site.
On the Meeting Minutes page, I have deleted the minutes for all meetings prior to 2005. Five years of minutes is probably more than anyone wants to read.
Congratulations Daren!

As you are aware, the work at the construction site of the new High School on Dripping Springs Road is in high gear. We can expect to see increased construction traffic and we are anticipating huge increases in numbers of vehicles when the school opens. Your Talavera Community Association Board of Directors is monitoring the progress of plans to deal with this increased traffic and the resulting safety issues . In order to share this information and to encourage our residents to be involved in the process of finding solutions, we will be adding periodic “Traffic Updates” to our web site. We hope that the updates will be brief and informative. Here is a link to the first update:
