October 18, 2014 might seem like a long time ago for some, Blood-line MMA fighter Travis Aragon
remembers it like yesterday: in the main event fighting for what would have been his fourth cham-pionship belt against James Flem-ing at Cage Kings in La Junta.
Travis was less than a minute away from claiming the biggest win of his career. The match was
his, and everybody knew it. Flem-ing had taken a beating the fight and Aragon was going in for the kill. All he had to do was hold on for thirty seconds.
Fate however, wouldn’t be in
Travis’s corner that night, and in the blink of an eye Fleming made one move and snuck away with the win via submission.
“That was the best fight of my
By Eric John MonsonNews EditorThe Chronicle-News
“I just hope I do this job with integrity and that I do this job well and represent the people here like they should be represented.” That’s the well-crafted statement from the new Deputy District At-torney for the Third Judicial Dis-trict, Matthew Holmes. You get the sense his mind’s been twisting that one for a while. It’s the kind of statement you might close a jury trial with.
But Holmes quakes with such Bambi-like sincerity you believe him. And you might even root for him.
He’s a big man. By mea-surables he’s the kind of guy you hope a wife-beater has to stare up to at their judgment as Holmes’s meaty paw ham-mers them into the ground like a railroad spike. But Holmes’s face and voice detract from that image as he opens up with a smile and a low air-filled voice that involuntarily chokes his words sometimes. It’s people’s little perceived flaws that draw others in. And Holmes is a big, friendly guy. The kind you don’t mind sitting next to for a cou-ple of hours to shoot the bull.
He hasn’t had his first jury trial yet and that’s kind of a water-shed moment for a freshly minted lawyer. “I had my first jury trial scheduled for this week,” he says with hidden pangs of disappoint-ment. “But we ended up making a deal right before… Yeah, it’s a thing I’m excited about, but I have to balance that with what’s best
for everyone.” Like previously stated, he’s freshly minted, and worried about not balancing his statements, or saying something he doesn’t think he should. He stops in his narratives sometimes and looks up at the ceiling saying, “I probably shouldn’t say that.” You know it’s a lawyer thing, but gosh-darn he does it in an endear-ing way.
You sincerely hope his tem-perament, interests and sense of responsibility are the stuff that makes the man a person especially
well suited to a job that is so mentally and emotionally tax-ing. He’s got a good-looking, easy-going smile and his new job has been known to erase good-looking, easygo-ing smiles.
In conversa-tion he pecks around the stress, lofty eth-ics, and isola-tion that comes with a high-pro-file occupation in a small com-munity. “Sure it’s stressful,” Holmes says dismissively. “And, like a pro-fessor told me, you’re never going to drive
a Lexus, either… We’re really iso-lated here. It’s just me and [District Attorney] Frank [Ruybalid] and the support staff. And being in the courthouse here everyday can be a little isolating—like it’s own little city.” When he says ‘isolated’ he twirls a finger and your mind ex-pands outward with the definition of ‘isolated’ growing out from his cramped, dark, office to include the Las Animas County Court-house, then Trinidad, then Las Animas County itself and finally

The City will be holding two (2) public meetings for citi-zens to attend and to learn more about becoming an Urban Renewal Commissioner. We urge anyone with questions or general curiosity to attend one of the following meetings. Please come join us and learn about how economic develop-ment can be done through Urban Renewal.

Contestants who don’t want to shoot can geocache 12 dif-ferent sites in historic Trinidad, with no entry fee for those only geocaching. The free event will be held on the same day at the TSJC campus, located at 600 Prospect St. The shooting and geocaching event is limited to 40 two-person teams, with an entry fee of $75 per team, which includes am-munition and the use of firearms.

TSJC is the home of the nation’s premier gunsmithing school, which started in 1947 and whose graduates are re-nowned across the country and worldwide in the gunsmith-ing field.
“We hope to attract visitors from all over the region and introduce them to our city,” said Event Coordinator Dan Croghan. “We know of only one other like this in the United States. It allows us to combine our love of shooting sports with the fast-growing leisure activity of geocaching.”
It should an exciting day of adventure in and around his-toric Trinidad, with the event starting and ending at TSJC’s Prator Gun Range, located six miles southeast of Trinidad 42013 County Road 24.6. The air rifle shooting event will take place at the air gun range on the TSJC campus, with air rifles provided. The archery event will happen at a site yet to be determined.
Targets will be placed from a few feet away to up to 100 yards away, depending on the event, with some of the tar-gets being in motion. Each team member must participate in all shooting events, and all shooters must be at least 13 years old. Shooters from ages 13 to 18 must have a Hunter’s Safety Card, or must complete a four-hour training session to be held at the Prator Gun Range, from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m., on Friday, May 22, at a cost of $25. Adults without firearms experience are strongly encouraged to participate in the training session.
Trophies will be awarded based on the number of targets hit and the completion time for the entire event, and each team can expect to travel at least 50 miles during the event. Both events will be held regardless of weather conditions.
