AUSTIN — A longtime influential Republican Representative from the Dallas-Fort Worth area has filed legislation calling for a constitutional amendment election to legalize casino and sports gambling in Texas, including at Lone Star Park horse race track in Grand Prairie. Political and sports industry leaders in Dallas and Fort Worth have been pushing for expanded gambling to allow casinos for years for the jobs, tourism and economic benefits it would bring to North Texas. The Las Vegas Sands corporation and others in the gamb...
Could Sean Payton be the next big thing in the NFL? Not in the traditional manner, mind you. He's already established himself as one of the game's most successful coaches by winning 152 regular-season games, nine playoff games and a Super Bowl over 15 years as New Orleans' head coach. Instead, what if doing what Denver did to acquire Payton - trading the Saints a first-round pick and swapping future draft assets - became more common in the future? Certainly, trading for a...
SILVER CITY - It all started in 2011, when Polly Cook's most handsome rooster got a little... cocky. "I had this one rooster that was just gorgeous," Cook recalled. "He would be the rooster that you would paint. He strutted around big time, and took care of all the girls. He was used to being the only man around the house, so he crowed whenever my boyfriend came over." One morning, Cook was greeted by a summons to appear in court posted on her front door. When she responded,...
SANTA FE – Members of the House Transportation, Public Works and Capital Projects Committee got their first look at House Bill 158, which would allow police officers to bring in lab analysts to conduct blood draws on motorists suspected of driving under the influence. The idea, said Rep. Andrea Reeb, R-Clovis, is to give officers a chance to test motorists for cannabis, which is now legal under state law. "Obviously, we have issues with drivers under the influence of marijuana or other controlled substances," Reeb told the c...
SANTA FE -- The first court hearings in the criminal cases against actor Alec Baldwin and two other people involved in the ill-fated production of the Western film Rust are scheduled Feb. 24, the New Mexico Administrative Office of the Courts announced Wednesday. The First Judicial District Court proceedings will be conducted remotely, with separate hearings for Baldwin and film armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — both charged with involuntary manslaughter in the October 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins ...
SANTA FE -- Some 875,000 New Mexicans would get a cut of the state's record revenues under a bill that received unanimous approval during its first legislative committee hearing Thursday. Senate Bill 10, a priority of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, would appropriate $1 billion to provide a one-time tax rebate of $750 for single filers and $1,500 for joint filers. "Taxpayers' budgets are stretched thin due to inflation that includes a higher cost of food, heating, gas and other basic necessities," one of the sponsors, Sen....
Identity theft should be looked at like warning and precaution signs - We see the warning but sometimes we decide to disregard it and keep going. You are not the exception of those rules and you’re at risk like everyone else. According to the Federal Trade Commission, for the past 15 years, identity theft has been the number one consumer complaint in the United States. Identity theft might have been underestimated a few years ago but it has recently obligated for everyone’s attention with the latest company data breaches and...

Stephen M. Hardin has lived in Portales for over 36 years now. But life did not begin for Hardin in the quaint, New Mexican college town which he has made his home. He was born in Calcutta, India and, in Hardin's own words, he was "immediately abandoned and left to die in the streets." Miraculously, Hardin was found and rescued by a group of nuns. Several months later he was adopted, along with another child, by his single mother - Janie Hardin. Still a baby, Hardin arrived...
I stumbled onto a great story from the 1977 Portales News-Tribune Progress edition about a 1951 coyote hunt in the Elida and Kenna area. The story was a reprint of one of Editor Gordon Greaves’ “By The Way” columns. He started it out with a comparison to the English version of “riding to the hounds.” He explained the hounds, in this case were hybrid greyhounds. The chase started before daylight on the mesa west of Elida with two vehicles, a Jeep and a pickup, with 10 dogs a...
DALLAS - Add Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts to the list of problems, not just for the Cowboys - we saw that, specifically, on Oct. 16 and, realistically, all season - but for Dak Prescott's future. Last Sunday, in much easier fashion than one might have imagined as the 49ers ran out of quarterbacks, Hurts joined the popular "Made it to the Super Bowl at 24" Club. The number refers to a quarterback's age at the start of the season in which he reached his first Super Bowl. Among...
MELROSE – Melrose’s boys built a nine-point halftime lead, but had to hang on down the stretch Thursday night for a 50-48 District 6-1A victory over Logan. The Buffaloes (15-4, 3-1 district) made the first of two foul shots with 18 seconds left for a two-point lead but had the second one wiped out by a lane violation. That gave the Longhorns (15-8, 2-3) the opportunity to win with a 3-point shot, but the attempt was off the mark and Melrose secured the rebound. No one reached double figures for Melrose, which got nine poi...
MELROSE – Melrose's boys pulled away in the second half and downed Clovis Christian 54-47 on Tuesday night in District 6-1A basketball. Junior Michael Cardonita led three players in double figures for the Buffaloes (14-4, 2-1 district) with 17 points, followed by junior Dathan Yeary with 11 and sophomore Cy Draper with 10. Senior Noah Gershon paced CCS with four 3s and 26 points. The Eagles converted five of their nine 3-pointers in a 17-5 second-quarter run to take a 25-24 a...
PORTALES – Winning on the road has been an issue this season for Eastern New Mexico University's men. Winning at home? So far, no problem. ENMU kept its record at Greyhound Arena unblemished (10-0) with a 66-51 Lone Star Conference victory over Midwestern State on Thursday night. The Greyhounds used an early 12-0 run to break away from the game's lone tie and were never seriously challenged. ENMU (13-8, 8-7 LSC) led by as much as 22 points in the opening half, and by 30 (...
PORTALES – Eastern New Mexico University's Deja Adrian didn't miss a beat. The junior guard-forward, second in the Lone Star Conference in scoring, returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury on Thursday night and scored 21 points in ENMU's 80-55 rout of Midwestern State in Lone Star Conference women's basketball at Greyhound Arena. Adrian shot 9-for-14 from the floor, including a pair of 3-pointers, and posted a team-high six assists as the Greyhounds (10-10, 7...
CLOVIS – The Hobbs Eagles had their way with Clovis High's wrestlers on Tuesday night. The Wildcats, though, perhaps competed a little better than the 64-9 final score shows. They lost eight weights by pin, but six of the matches got into the second or third period. Clovis' only points in the dual came from seniors Steve Edwards, with a 12-6 decision over Alek Doporto at 133 pounds, and Semaj Satchel, on a second-period pin of the Eagles' Landon Needham 215. Also, senior M...
LOVINGTON – On the heels of a nine-game winning streak, Portales High’s boys have hit a speed bump this week in District 4-4A action. The Rams followed up a loss at Artesia on Tuesday with a 44-39 setback against Lovington on Friday night. PHS scored only 23 points in the first three quarters, and the team’s comeback bid in the final stanza was cut short after they tied the game twice. “We’ve just got to shoot the ball better,” Rams coach Randy McBroom said. “They (Rams) played hard and battled. We just fell a little bit sh...
LOVINGTON – Sophomore guard Angel Ornelas had a monster game, especially through the first three quarters, and her teammates took her cue down the stretch. Ornelas funneled in easily a personal-best 26 points while adding eight rebounds and four assists as Portales High’s girls turned back Lovington 60-51 in a District 4-4A clash. Down by five entering the stanza, PHS (11-11, 1-2 district) outscored the Lady Wildcats 22-8 over the final eight minutes. Junior guard Brenna Jewell scored all seven of her points in the frame whil...
TEXICO – So far, so good for Texico’s girls in District 6-2A. The Lady Wolverines, the only team in the district with a sub.-500 record, completed a sweep of the first time through district play on Friday night with a 54-32 victory over Pecos behind a personal-best 20 points from sophomore Adelyn Autrey. Leading by eight at the half, Texico (10-12, 3-0 district) outscored the Lady Panthers 32-18 over the final two stanzas. Senior Catelyn Breshears added 13 points as 10 of 12 players scored for Texico. Sophomore Natalia Sto...
CLOVIS – A slow start on Friday night didn't seem to bother the Clovis High girls basketball team. Trailing 10-5 midway through the opening period, the Lady Wildcats held Roswell High to just five points the rest of the half and walked away with a 61-31 District 4-5A victory at Rock Staubus Gym. On a night where leading scorer Zarai Lewis was relatively quiet, Clovis (17-4, 1-1 district) found the points well spread out in putting their 61-14 loss at Hobbs the previous week i...
PORTALES – Returning Eastern New Mexico University football coach Kelley Lee and his staff have announced the signing of 44 high school prospects for the coming season. Two of the recruits are from Arizona, while the rest come from New Mexico (17) and Texas (25). Two of the in-staters, R.J. Nora and Braxton Masters, are coming from Clovis High, while four were inked from Carlsbad and another from Hobbs. Among players on the Texas side, ENMU added 6-foot-1, 200-pound M...
