Winter weather is approaching the Clovis and Portales areas, which means it’s the time of year when electric bills jump higher, lawns hibernate and driving to work can turn into to slipping and sliding. According to Xcel Energy, there are various small tasks a person can perform to keep energy bills lower during the winter months. A few of these tasks include the f... Full story
Winter weather is approaching the Clovis and Portales areas, which means it’s the time of year when electric bills jump higher, lawns hibernate and driving to work can turn into to slipping and sliding. According to Xcel Energy, there are various small tasks a person can perform to keep energy bills lower during the winter months. A few of these tasks include the following: • Seal leaky ducts with mastic, metal-backed tape or aerosol sealant. • Keep your furnace or heat pump filter clean • Open inside doors t...
Commissioner Bobby Sandoval asked the public for help and solutions after voters sent a “loud and clear” message on recent bond issues. “Our constituents spoke and they are our bosses and we got the message loud and clear,” he said during a Friday meeting. “Tell us how to do it. If somebody out there in TV land or somebody that comes to the meetings has an idea (we want to hear it).” In an overwhelming show of opposition, more than 72 percent of voters said no Tuesday to...

CNJ staff photo: Rick White Hounds junior wide receiver Chase Kyser is stopped short of the goal line by a pair of Southeastern Oklahoma defenders during last week's game at Greyhound Stadium. Few people, outside of the participants, saw this coming. Eastern New Mexico University plays at Northeastern State today with potentially a three-way share of the Lone Star Conference North Division title on the line. The Hounds (4-5, 3-2 North) were picked fourth and the RiverHawks (5-4, 4-1) fifth in the seven-team division’s p...
Few people, outside of the participants, saw this coming. Eastern New Mexico University plays at Northeastern State today with potentially a three-way share of the Lone Star Conference North Division title on the line. The Hounds (4-5, 3-2 North) were picked fourth and the RiverHawks (5-4, 4-1) fifth in the seven-team division’s preseason poll. Meantime, East Central (4-5, 4-1) is also in the mix. The Tigers, who were last in the poll, can assure themselves no worse than a share of the crown with a win today at preseason f...

PORTALES — The Eastern New Mexico University men’s soccer team did something Friday it hadn’t done against Midwestern State in the equivalent of nearly eight matches. In fact, the Greyhounds did it twice. ENMU erased a 2-0 deficit with second-half goals by senior defender Dreaux Plair and sophomore defender Michael Stewart, but the second-ranked Mustangs got a late tally from junior midfielder David Freeland to pull out a 3-2 Lone Star Conference win at the ENMU pitch. The goals were the first for ENMU against the Mus...

Traffic was snarled in south Clovis Friday afternoon for more than an hour after a pickup truck crashed into six other vehicles.

The pickup driver, who has not been identified by police, and one other person were transported to the emergency room at Plains Regional...

He wanted to be with us. It was one of those bizarre instances that feeds theories — perhaps he sought refuge with us because of hunting season, or maybe he was a lost pet — but the answer was never known. He flew into the yard a short distance away then waddled to our feet confidently. And when I reached down to pick him up, he stood fast, allowing me to scoop him onto my hand. The novelty of the moment won out and I held the dove, seizing the opportunity to...

Grant McGee If you could use medical marijuana would you? This was something that crossed my mind recently after the eye doctor told me I have glaucoma. “Hey, if you have glaucoma that means you qualify for medical marijuana in New Mexico.” It was my friend The Holy Man offering up his first thoughts upon hearing of my newfound condition. Glaucoma is about high pressures inside your eyeballs. Research indicates marijuana reduces that pressure. I thought medical pot would be homogenized, pasteurized and pre-processed; all the...
