Dispatch logs obtained by The Santa Fe New Mexican show that emergency calls tied to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico were relatively limited and mostly mundane on paper: hang-up calls, medical issues, and recreational injuries rather than obvious criminal complaints. The logs appear to undercut the idea that local 911 records alone contain some obvious smoking gun about what was happening at the property, but they also highlight how little the public record captures about a ranch that has become one of the most under-examined locations in Epstein's broader orbit. Zorro Ranch was a massive, secluded property outside Santa Fe, complete with a sprawling mansion, airstrip, helicopter pad, and guest facilities — exactly the kind of private compound that has drawn years of suspicion because of Epstein's known pattern of using isolated luxury properties to conceal abuse.The larger significance is not that the 911 logs reveal a dramatic new criminal episode, but that they show how thin and incomplete the official local paper trail appears to be. A few emergency calls about hang-ups or injuries do not answer the deeper questions around who visited the ranch, what happened there, why it was not searched with the urgency applied to Epstein's other properties, and whether federal authorities ever fully pursued the New Mexico angle. In that sense, the logs are less an endpoint than another reminder of the gap between the scale of public suspicion surrounding Zorro Ranch and the limited information that has been made available through official records.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Santa Fe 911 logs show hang-ups, recreational injuries at Epstein's ranch | Local News | santafenewmexican.com

For decades, local journalism's business model rested on advertising, subscriptions and philanthropy. Now, according to Rebuild Local News co-founder Steven Waldman, a fourth leg is rapidly emerging: public policy. New state laws, tax credits and government-backed initiatives have already directed more than $129 million into local newsrooms, with tens of millions more expected this year alone. Waldman says the shift signals a major new chapter in how communities may ultimately sustain local journalism.

In late February 2026, dozens of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and their supporters gathered for a demonstration at the former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling New Mexico property once owned by Epstein, to demand action and transparency from authorities. The demonstrators, many identifying themselves as victims or allies of survivors, stood outside the ranch grounds and held signs and chants calling attention to alleged abuses that they say occurred there and urging state officials to pursue a thorough investigation into what happened on the property under Epstein's ownership. The protest underscored deep frustration with past investigations and a belief that justice has been delayed and incomplete.Security personnel, including armed private guards, were present at the site during the protest and monitored the gathering, reflecting the sensitive nature of the event and the high emotions involved. Participants emphasized that their presence was not just symbolic — many survivors spoke publicly about abuses they endured and stressed that the renewed state inquiry and “truth commission” into alleged activities at the ranch must lead to accountability, healing, and answers for victims. The demonstration came amid broader political and legal pressure in New Mexico for deeper review of Epstein's activities and for unsealed documents to be fully examined.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'There were victims': Protesters at former Epstein ranch demand action | Local News | santafenewmexican.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

New York City schools are overhauling the way students learn to read through a literacy initiative known as NYC Reads, built around the “science of reading” movement. City officials say the approach is already improving reading scores. But some teachers, parents and students say the curriculum relies too heavily on worksheets, rigid lessons and short excerpts, leaving students with fewer opportunities to immerse themselves in full books. WNYC's education reporter Jessica Gould joins us to discuss the debate over phonics, reading stamina, and whether schools are improving literacy at the expense of fostering a love of reading.
