A collision early Tuesday afternoon near Sugar Beet Road and U.S. 70 sent at least three females to the hospital, according to Clovis Fire Chief Mike Nolen. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known. The crash is being investigated by New Mexico State Police, Curry County Sheriff Wesley Waller told The News. Several NMSP vehicles were on scene near the highway’s intersection with Curry Road G (Sugar Beet Road) in front of the railroad tracks with a vehicle that had sustained heavy front-end damage shortly b...
Two speeches sit on the tip of Brian Urlacher's tongue. One is 17 minutes long, the other eight.

The other compresses those thank-yous more concisely and gets Urlacher off the stage as quickly as possible, as the former Bears linebacker typically prefers. Which speech Urlacher decides to use Saturday when he gets inducted... Full story

Pleasant Hill-area residents may see their insurance premiums drop and the local fire department is about to receive more money for fighting fires, according to Curry County officials. After a recent Insurance Services Office review, the Pleasant Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s rating has improved two points — from Class 9 to Class 7 — because of an improved “structural fire suppression delivery system,” according to Fire and Safety Director David Kube. That means the fire department will see a $16,443 annual increase...

We’re searching for a description of the Chinese government’s behavior and can’t decide among bullying, extortion or coercion.
