The New Mexico Supreme Court is expected to decide, once and for all, whether a 2017 state wildlife agency rule concerning public access to “non-navigable” waters in the state squares with the New Mexico Constitution. A lack of certainty over the issue has created a rift between the governor and the New Mexico Game Commission and spurred a bigger takeaway: Why even have a Game Commission if it's just a rubber stamp for the governor? Last year, the commission rejected five applications from private landowners who sought sta...
PORTALES - Playing a team missing half (eight) of its roster and its coach, mostly due to COVID-19 protocols, it took Eastern New Mexico University's women a while to get a handle on things Thursday night at Greyhound Arena. In the end, ENMU's depth made the difference and the Greyhounds pulled away to a 77-61 Lone Star Conference victory over St. Mary's. Senior guard Iyanna McCurdy was on pace for a triple-double at halftime - 10 points, nine rebounds and five assists - in...

ROSWELL — Wins have been hard to come by this season for Clovis High’s boys. Thursday night, it looked like the Wildcats might pick off Roswell Goddard for the second time in three games. Tied 21-21 at halftime, the Cats struck for the first eight points of the third quarter. But Goddard pulled even again by the end of the period and went on to a 53-44 victory. Two nights earlier, at The Rock, Clovis pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Rockets 54-49. Goddard won the season series from the Cats 2-1, having also not...

CLOVIS – A warrant alleging aggravated battery has been issued in connection with last Sunday’s shooting of a Clovis teenager. Sergio Barrera, 35, is accused of shooting Esmeralda Gonzalez in the stomach while outside Barrera’s home at 1217 Mora Street. She said Barrera accused her of “setting us up” just before he shot her. Barrera remained at large this weekend. An affidavit for arrest warrant alleges Barrera believed Gonzalez’ former boyfriend was planning to “shoot up the house.” Police records show the Mora Street res...
MELROSE — The Logan Lady Longhorns rallied from a six-point deficit to edge Melrose 35-34 on Thursday night in the District 6-1A opener for both teams. The Lady Buffs were trying to avenge a 33-25 loss to Logan in the semifinals of the EPAC tournament at Texico on Jan. 7. Melrose (7-5 overall) came into the period with a six-point lead, but couldn’t hold on. The teams meet on Feb. 3 at Logan, and could possibly meet two more times after that — in the district and state tournaments in late February and early March. Sopho...
BOVINA — Bovina’s boys had a bit more balance in their attack on Tuesday night, and it was enough to overcome the one-man show of 6-foot-5 senior Jayden Slater in a 68-48 District 3-2A victory over Boys Ranch. Slater poured in 32 points for the Roughriders (4-9, 0-1 district), including all but one of the Roughriders’ 22 first-half tallies. But no one else on the team scored more than five points. Senior Angel Lara poured in five 3-pointers and 26 points for the Mustangs (4-11, 1-1), while seniors Israel Grenados and Ceasa...

Down 32-24, the Mules (5-11, 1-5) held the Cubs (9-13, 6-0) to just seven third-quarter points but managed only eight of their own. They were unable to make a run at it in the final stanza. Sophomore Sebastian Kervin led Muleshoe’s attack with 17 points. Farwell 92, Bovina 36 — In a District 3-2A matchup, the visiting Steers opened a 30-10 lead at the quart...
For as long as he can remember, Chris Robertson was a climber. The Clovis native and owner of the Clovis Rock Gym was born and raised in the area, but at 18 left home to pursue a management position at an auto parts store. Robertson spent a decade away from Clovis, first in Santa Fe and then Albuquerque. In 2017, it was time to come home and bring his passion for climbing with him. For the last five years, Robertson has been dedicating himself professionally to sharing his pas...
I've got new neighbors up the road from me a piece. I've yet to meet them but I'm familiar with their cattle. I usually drive past them at least six times a day. It's not a real big place and right now there's not any pasture sewn but the guy that lived there before used to do that until he got too old and finally went to the old folks home. I bet the folks living there in the house that separates the two pastures will do something with the ground. They started out with three...
When it became obvious that the Titanic was not going to survive its tragic collision with the iceberg in the North Atlantic, those in positions of authority started to do the human triage necessary in emergencies. Who would be saved, who would perish, and who would be empowered with those impossible decisions? Ultimately, it came down to the formula used from the beginning of civil society: Women and children first. Until now, in the COVID era. I've watched with horror as we...
Watching Montana State play in the Football Championship Subdivision national title game Jan. 8, I wondered if Waded Cruzado was still the president there. Sure enough, she has been president since 2010, leading the university through significant increases in enrollment and retention; an all-time high in research expenditures; and advances in academic achievement, including three Rhodes Scholars. She is also, I assume, well liked and respected in Bozeman, just as she was in Las Cruces after being named interim president of...
In the Bible, in the book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul issues this admonition: "Let us not grow weary in well-doing." Talk about things that are easier said than done. For some of us, after all, this is a weary season, a season of exhausted hope and worn expectation that would have seemed impossible on that victorious November night 14 years ago when a Black senator, just elected president of the United States, stood on a stage in Chicago's Grant Park and proclaimed,...
Glenn Youngkin promised to be on the side of parents as Virginia governor, and on his first day in office, he delivered. The Republican issued an executive order allowing parents to decide whether their kids will wear masks in school, and met an instant wall of resistance from Democratic-controlled counties and criticism from the White House press secretary Jen Psaki. A Washington Post headline said Youngkin is "terrifying people." The flak notwithstanding, his order is a...
Anyone who listened to oral arguments on the vaccine mandates made in the Supreme Court on Jan. 7 had to have come away with the idea that Supreme Court justices got the information they used to decide landmark cases presented to them from television news programs. While several justices thought the vaccine prevented transmission of COVID-19, the one statement that left most observers astounded came from Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Her wild assertion that, “We have over 1...
