CLOVIS — Relay for Life returns to Clovis on Saturday with a couple changes, but the core mission is constant: raise enough money for cancer research that the disease and the relay become a thing of the past. Until that day comes, organizers will stay busy. The 22nd Annual Clovis Relay for Life is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday at Ned Houk Park, its first time in recent memory to occur during daytime hours rather than overnight. Those leading the e...
CLOVIS — School officials in Clovis have filled a pair of principal vacancies, pulling one candidate from Roswell and another from retirement. Former Clovis High Principal Wayne Marshall is taking the same position at Parkview Elementary, while David Fredericks is leaving the Roswell school district after seven years to take over at Barry Elementary, according to a Clovis Municipal Schools news release.

With a large roster of activities available this summer, interested children in Clovis and Portales will have difficulty staying bored for long. A wealth of summer programs have already begun, offering children a wide range of activities and parents an opportunity to keep their children occupied.

Farming and ranching is often full of surprises that keep us on our toes and busy enough that we are engaged and entertained. But there is a not insignificant amount of time and work that is not much more than what you might call routine. It does not always engage the mind as well and leaves us with time and motivation to expend on something else. That something else, of course, has to be doable in amidst the day-to-day routine of fixing fences, driving tractors, checking...
Lately the world has been filled with terrible and discouraging news. The reports of violence, terrorism and killings have dominated updates on much of the national media. Yet a realization has come to me in the light of all this heavy and sad news. I have found that if I focus on those events and the merciless acts reported, I am taken down with it. If I dwell on the bad or heartbreaking news, I then look at the world differently. Focusing on the negative makes my mind point...
Being suspicious of our own motives is wise. Not only are we not qualified to judge others, as we easily evaluate them too harshly, we often do a poor job of judging even ourselves, tending to give ourselves way too much slack. I’m trying to keep that in mind in what follows. In the news recently was the report that someone painted a racial slur across the front gate of one of the homes of a famous athlete. For whatever difference it makes, which is none, this mansion is w...
On this date ... 1937: A man accused of shooting a federal agent near Gallup was arrested "because his stirrups were shorter than cowboys use," the Clovis Evening News-Journal reported.

The Evening News-Journal reported Osborne was known to Clovis police because of a recent investigation related to a car theft. 1937: Officials with Hotel Clovis...
CLOVIS — Steven Hill wants a weird, funky chicken and a guard dog goose. But the city of Clovis will not let him keep them in the city limits. Hill, a planning and zoning committee member, said he is working toward changes in city ordinances that would allow residents to keep chickens in their backyard. “When I came here I thought, ‘Surely in a little agriculture town like Clovis you can raise a couple of chickens in your back yard,’” said Hill, who transferred to Cannon Air Force Base as a civil engineer eight years ago...
PORTALES — Albuquerque plays host to the first weekend of several over the next few weeks for its North-South All-Star games.
