SANTA FE — Legislation to establish a New Mexico Civil Rights Act — a proposal sparked by protests against racism and police misconduct — won approval in the state Senate early Wednesday, pushing it to the brink of final passage. The measure passed the House a month ago, but senators revised the bill, so it will have to go back to the other chamber for agreement on the amendments. It passed the Senate on a 26-15 vote about 10 minutes after midnight. The legislation, House Bill 4, emerged quickly this year as one of the most...
PORTALES -- Roosevelt County commissioners on Tuesday voted to move forward with only half of a roof replacement project. Commissioners were shown the roof in the hog show arena at the county fairgrounds and given two options for the roof repair following the June 2020 hail storm. County Manager Amber Hamilton explained to commissioners that one option was to replace the internal gutter system that already exists within the building, but it would likely begin to leak again at some point. The other repair option is to go with...
I am a self-confessed English major. And I'm choosing words carefully here, words that in our present cultural climate serve as — take your pick — solemn and grim warnings, red stop signs surrounded by flashing lights, cease and desist orders complete with dire penalties lawyer-littered in pages of small print. I am (pause here for display of deep emotion as a substitute for rational thinking) concerned. I am (pause here for display of deep emotion as a substitute for rat...
TEXICO — Senior quarterback Gabe Dickerman threw for four touchdowns on Saturday and Texico dominated from start to finish in a 46-6 victory over New Mexico Military. Dickerman threw two TD passes to senior Anders Nelson and one each to senior Gabe Bailey and junior Cade Collins. Meantime, senior Seth Griego scored on runs of 1 yard and 5 yards to stake the Wolverines (2-0) to a 12-0, first-quarter lead, while freshmen Cade Figg and Kyle Gonser connected for a scoring pass in the final stanza. NMMI (0-2) got its lone tally l...
PORTALES - The struggles continued on Monday for Eastern New Mexico University. The Greyhounds were run-ruled twice by Lubbock Christian at Greyhound Softball Field, losing the opener 10-0 and the second game 14-3, both in fivei nnings. The Lady Chaps (13-8, 3-5 LSC) scored in all five innings of the lidlifter, then used a pair of big frames to quickly put the nightcap away in registering their first true road wins of the season (2-4). LCU scored six times in the second...
TYLER, Texas — It took some doing, to say the least, for Eastern New Mexico University’s baseball team to salvage the finale of a Lone Star Conference series against Texas-Tyler on Saturday. The Greyhounds scored four runs on one play — involving three Tyler errors — in the top of the 10th and survived a wacky bottom half to edge the 17th-ranked Patriots 10-9. UTT, which took Saturday’s opener 6-1, won two of three in the series. With the bases loaded and no one out in the 10th, ENMU sophomore Cole Luedeking hit a RBI grounde...
RUIDOSO — Clovis High’s girls got an early breakaway goal from senior Madison Lynch and the Lady Wildcats stayed in control, breaking into the win column with a 2-0 neutral-site victory over Socorro on Saturday. Lynch gained possession from about 40 yards out and moved inside the 18-yard box to beat Lady Warriors junior goalkeeper Chailynn Amaro in the fifth minute. Junior forward Illeana Griego added the second tally shortly after halftime, coming off an assist from forward Nevaeh Coronado. Saturday’s scheduled boys match...
PORTALES - Never mind that Ruidoso has dropped its first two games of the season ... and by a combined score of 91-32, no less. Portales High football coach Jaime Ramirez expects the Warriors to be the best team the Rams have played to date. "We believe they're a good football team," Ramirez said. "Ruidoso is much better than the previous two teams we've played." PHS, the defending Class 4A state champion, is off to a solid start after whipping New Mexico Military 21-0 and,...
CLOVIS — Heading into its Saturday return trip to Rio Rancho, the Clovis Wildcats aren’t too concerned with who’s moving the ball; only that it moves. Clovis, which suffered a 45-14 setback Saturday at defending 6A champion Cleveland, takes on Rio Rancho in a 3 p.m. Saturday kickoff. Clovis coach Cal Fullerton said there would be some mystery about the Rams, who are coming off of a win over Santa Fe, and he left Monday’s film session impressed. “The thing that sticks out to me the most is how hard they play,” Fullerton s...
SANTA FE — Amid tears and tense debate, the state Senate adopted legislation Monday that would allow terminally ill New Mexicans to seek a doctor’s help to end their lives, moving the proposal to the brink of final passage. The measure, House Bill 47, passed the House last month, but the Senate made amendments to the legislation before Monday’s vote — changes that will have to go back to the House for agreement. The bill has triggered some of the most emotional debate of the session. Legislators shared tears Monday as they sp...
SANTA FE — Citing heartburn over hefty possible revenue losses, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is asking President Joe Biden to give New Mexico a break when it comes to crafting new federal policies on oil and natural gas leasing and permitting on federal lands. In a Monday letter, Lujan Grisham praised Biden for taking action to address “global climate change” but said New Mexico has already taken steps to increase its renewable energy industry and tighten emission and waste standards for the oil and natural gas indus...
