CLOVIS — Clovis High's boys soccer team has designs on making some loud noise in the state tournament. To that end, the Wildcats will have to be tested, will have to survive close games. Tuesday was one of those important tests, and the 'Cats did indeed survive, hanging on to beat Santa Fe 3-2 on a damp, cold night at Leon Williams Stadium. Winning a one-goal game is big, doing it against a district opponent even bigger. "It is, it is," Clovis head coach Greg Trujillo said. "...
SANTA FE — The good news is Clovis remains undefeated in girls District 2-6A soccer play. The better news is the Wildcats won their first 2-6A contest Tuesday, scoring the first four goals in a 6-1 rout of Santa Fe Tuesday night. Mariah Loya and Madison Lynch each had a pair of goals and a pair of assists for Clovis (7-4-2, 1-0-2), which had settled for a pair of overtime ties against Eldorado and Manzano. “We had played them earlier in the year and won 3-0, so this was a better result. I think we’re playing better,” Clovis...

CLOVIS — Complaints that high school administrators disrespected teachers were voiced Monday night at the Clovis Municipal Schools Board of Education meeting. "I am not valued as a teacher or as a human being," said Tracy Henderson, who added during the open forum section that she intended to submit her 30-day notice from her position teaching distributive education at CHS and apply for a job as a dentist's receptionist. Henderson alleged instances of being "mocked" in f...
People often describe the things I write as “political.” They may not even intend it as an insult. I prefer to think of my views as post-political; beyond the obsolete sphere of politics. I wish people would recognize politics as the enemy; the opposite of how they should view the world and interact with others. It would be nice if they did, because politics ruins everything it touches. Politics makes people see the world through the fake “Right vs. Left” lens. It’s a distort...
So you think the media has treated Donald Trump unfairly. Let’s look at the record. • “By any measure, Donald Trump is unfit to be president” — editorial, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, March 2016. • “Obama says Trump ‘unfit’ for presidency” — CNN White House Producer Kevin Liptak, August 2016. • “Trump is unfit to be president.

"I believe I would quit dairying if I had to go back and use those 10 gallon cans." According...

PORTALES — Roosevelt General Hospital Chief Executive Officer Kaye Green laid out the facility’s financial goals at a board of trustees meeting Monday night. After Chief Financial Officer Bill Boyer reported that RGH made just under $63,000 in profit for the month of August through gross receipts tax, Green said administration will be working over the next year to get the hospital in the black through operations alone. “We’ve been in the black for the past three years just because of GRT,” she said. “My goal, and our team’s g...
Many in New Mexico — home to three research universities, three national labs and a penchant for attracting high-tech companies — are aghast that their Public Education Department plans to veer away from hard science in its classrooms. With good reason. While the core recommended standards are based on a science curriculum called the Next Generation Science Standards proposed in 2013 by a consortium of 26 states, just over a week ago, PED Secretary-designate Christopher Ruszkowski unveiled proposed adjustments critics say...
