Packing all your things for a massive move is about as much fun as getting a splinter. Actually, I did get a splinter while packing. Actually, actually, it was prior to packing when I was showing off my broken puke-gold Salvation Army couch to a friend while I told her it’s not coming with me. It’s coming with me. It’s amazing how tenaciously we cling to some items that are broken, useless or eaten by moths. The moth-eaten cowboy hat purchased as a joke at a yard sale is not coming. Since I’m an artist, I also have a fine ar...
How many of us, like myself, have been held semi-captive by the Winter Olympics? It is, needless to say, a voluntary captivity. Nobody forces you, or me, or anyone else, to tune in to channel 14 or 4 respectively, entering by virtual reality, or wishful thinking, the world of cross country skiing, snowboarding, bobsledding, and almost any other winter sport (except curling, which no one understands). Wishful thinking, of course, refers to the desire, not only to be in Torino, but to participate. Cross country I have done,... Full story
Clovis has been home to many good musicians. Here are some tidbits on Gus Nunez and a few more: “A lot of people in Clovis, all musicians, have told me that possibly the best guitar player around Clovis in the old days was Gus Nunez,” said Ken Tucker, a pretty good guitar player himself. “Gus taught me how to ‘bar chord’ on the guitar,” said Tucker, “and I’ll never forget that. Country guitar players use that all the time; makes it sound full. I have played with Victor Carrasco when he played trumpet and Gus Nunez played gu... Full story
When spring rears its ugly head in these dusty parts, I always get claustrophobia — a fear of being trapped in a 1957 Chevy with a polecat. I caught that terminal ailment when our kids were small, and our family drove through a rain storm. What happened was, we went to the mountains one spring day on a fun-filled family adventure. To outdoors aficionados our woodsy paraphernalia may have appeared a bit lacking — Army surplus pup tents, some blankets, a coffee pot, a frying pan, a Zippo lighter, some basic grub, and our dogs,...
Compiled By William Thompson: Freedom Newspapers Just west of Carrizozo lies a 45-mile long lava flow which is estimated to have been formed more than 1,000 years ago. The perfect place from which to begin exploration of the lava flow is the Valley of Fires Recreation Area, four miles west of Carrizozo. The recreation area has a nature trail loop that’s almost a mile long. For those who want to venture out onto the lava, it is recommended that hiking boots be worn due to the rough and often sharpterrain. A Web site, w...

Anna Winslow, a freshman at Portales High School, said she was walking in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Friday night because she loves her grandmother so much. “My grandmother has had cancer three times,” Wallace said, “I’m doing this for her.” Wallace was joined by hundreds of area residents as they prepared to stay up all night inside Greyhound Arena, walking in shifts to raise money for cancer research. Some said the relay was going to be a big party. Many were dressed in colorful Mardi Gras-themed...

Eastern New Mexico University grounds employee Danny Silva aerates the school’s soccer field Friday in Portales. (Staff photo: Eric Kluth) Recent warm weather may have local residents inspired to begin sprucing up outside. Curry County Extension Agent Stan Jones said it’s still a little early to begin gardening, but it’s a great time to start preparing for a luscious, green lawn. Before hooking up the hoses and arranging the sprinklers, a little weed extermination will go a... Full story
By coming out on top of the three-way tie for first place in District 4-3A, the Portales boys basketball team greatly improved its chances of winning the district tournament for a second consecutive season. First of all, Portales was able to sit back and wait while third-seeded Ruidoso beat New Mexico Military 89-59 on Tuesday, then edged Lovington 49-46 on Thursday to advance to the finals. Second, and perhaps more importantly, the Rams (14-11) will be able to play today’s 7 p.m. contest at home, where they are 7-2 this s...
It wouldn’t be a district championship game without coach Brenda Gomez marching back and forth on the sidelines and on Friday Gomez and her girls marched to a District 4-3A championship win over the Lovington Lady Wildcats. The Portales Lady Rams defeated Lovington, 68-33, on Friday behind double-digit scoring from Briana Hernandez, Ashleah Richards and Megan Kabrick. Gomez glanced up at the wall on east part of the gym to count the championships the Lady Rams have won under her leadership. Friday’s championship makes it 18... Full story
Recent warm weather may have local residents inspired to begin sprucing up outside. Curry County Extension Agent Stan Jones said it’s still a little early to begin gardening, but it’s a great time to start preparing for a luscious, green lawn. Before hooking up the hoses and arranging the sprinklers, a little weed extermination will go a long way toward a yard suitable for bare feet, Jones said. Cool-season weeds are already beginning to sprout and grow, Jones said. Spr...
