TEXICO — Whether they played in it, watched a relative, coached or refereed in a former tournament, the Eastern Plains Athletic Conference basketball tournament has a way of bringing people back together. It even brought together former Clovis teammates, as the Texico High School sidelines got a little animated with former Wildcats Jonathan Langan and Logan Turnbow. The former got the best of the latter Wednesday, as Langan's Grady Bronchos eked out a 67-66 victory over T...
It was a phrase reportedly born from doodlings on a restaurant placemat: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” Writer Anne Herbert gets the credit. The place was Sausalito, California, in 1982. It must have caught on quickly, because it wasn’t long before I had a shirt with that emblazoned across the front. A decade later, the editors of Conari Press put together a collection of tips and stories called “Random Acts of Kindness,” and invited readers t...
Do you know a Noah? If you don’t yet, you probably will soon as Noah once again topped the list of popular baby boy names in New Mexico in 2017. The list of names, compiled annually by the Department of Health’s Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, has featured Noah as the first- or second-most popular name for boys each year since 2014. The top of the girls' names list stayed consistent as well with Mia and Sophia maintaining the top two spots on the list again, though this is the first year Sophia overtook Mia...
TEXICO — As 3 p.m. struck on the clocks at Texico High School, fans throughout eastern New Mexico were settled in the green chairs they planned to sit in for the rest of the first day's Eastern Plains Athletic Conference Tournament action. Still, others were still digging out cash at the ticket gate. A few quarters in, it was evident that the fans weren't the only ones that either were or weren't ready for EPAC to start. The Tatum Coyotes were ready from the start, scoring t...
CLOVIS — You can't always get what you want. Unless you wanted a retrospective on The Rolling Stones, in which case you are in luck. For the rest of this month, the Clovis-Carver Public Library hosts a multi-part display with art and artifacts reflecting on 55 years of the iconic band from across the pond. The exhibit was conceived and furnished by Scott Blazek, a retired minister and decades-long fan of the group. He said his appreciation first began almost 50 years ago, a...
On this date ... 1983: Texico High School football player Earl Bibbs was named United Press International's Class A Player of the Year. During the fall of 1982, Bibbs led the Wolverines to an 8-2 record, rushing 886 yards on 160 carries, and scoring 10 touchdowns.

CLOVIS — A small fire originating from a piece of housekeeping equipment at Plains Regional Medical Center prompted a response from the Clovis Fire Department on Wednesday. Rusty Galloway from PRMC Plant Services said around 3:30 p.m. an employee was working on the battery for a floor scrubber when an electrical arc created a flash of fire and a considerable amount of smoke. Galloway said the fire was extinguished immediately and firefighters were called mainly as a precaution. “We wanted the fire department to go ahead and...

If you could build a stronger community through the youth, how would you do it? That question is guiding an upcoming series of “community conversations,” hosted by the United Way of Eastern New Mexico. In order to best improve the lives of the residents of Curry and Roosevelt counties, UWENM Director Erinn Burch said, her organization must focus on the young people who will eventually decide the future of both communities. However, the organization doesn’t have a full picture of how best to serve area children, accor...
