At least nine Americans have died in bloody violence between Hamas and Israel, a U.S. official said Monday, the third day since Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack in Israel. Matt Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, said Monday morning that an unspecified number of Americans remained unaccounted for in Israel, and that America was working to determine the tally. The identities of the dead Americans were not immediately released, and it was unclear if any...

SAN ANTONIO – To say it's been a rough start for Eastern New Mexico University's volleyball team in Lone Star Conference play would qualify as, well, a bit of an understatement. The Greyhounds were 8-5 coming into their conference slate, but on Friday night fell to 0-6 in league play with a 26-24, 25-15, 25-12 loss to St. Mary's. What's more, they are yet to win a set during that stretch. Against the Rattlers (8-6, 3-2 LSC), the Hounds got to set point in Game 1, opening a 2...
SANTA FE -- Democratic state lawmakers are pushing ahead with a plan to revive a contentious proposal to establish a paid family and medical leave program in New Mexico during next year's 30-day legislative session. Supporters of the proposed legislation — which cleared the Senate but stalled in a House committee in the final days of the 60-day session earlier this year — hope Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham will add it to the call but believe it could still come up for consideration as a budget issue in 2024. Unlike 60-day ses...
ALBUQUERQUE -- Dreaming big is paying off for the ABQ BioPark Zoo. The Albuquerque institution completed its largest addition to the zoo since 1996 when the Asia habitat opened to the public last week. "There's nothing like it," said Allyson Zahm, guest experience manager. "What we've managed to do is give visitors a 360 degree way of viewing the animals." The $33 million project took more than three years to finish. The animals have spent the last five weeks getting acclimated to their new homes. The habitat was transformed...

On this date ... 1941: Funeral services had been held for Ann Jennings, one of Billy the Kid’s staunchest defenders. Jennings, 73, had lived in Roswell and Tascosa, Texas, and knew Billy Bonney well, along with Sheriff Pat Garrett, who shot the Kid at old Fort Sumner. Jennings had maintained the Kid was only seen as a “bad boy” because of lawmen like Garrett. Her funeral services were held in Tucumcari. She was buried in Panhandle, Texas. 1952: Clovis police were alerted on two out-of-state stolen property reports, one from...
The Roosevelt County Commission on Tuesday passed an ordinance it says would challenge the governor, should she ever try to enforce a law the county did not want to enforce. “It gives Roosevelt the chance to say we're not going to enforce an unconstitutional mandate,” Roosevelt County Attorney Michael Garcia said. Larry Marker, a Chaves County resident, told commissioners the ordinance means: “If she comes down and challenges the ordinance, then the governor must presume that you guys acted within the law. And then she's...

MELROSE – It had been just five days since area small-school volleyball powers Texico and Melrose had met. Thursday night, the squads battled through a second five-set marathon. Melrose, ranked No. 1 in Class 1A by MaxPreps, looked to be in trouble early in Game 2, then appeared on its way to closing it out in four. Texico, No. 2 in 2A, rallied back to force a fifth set before the Lady Buffs pulled away to win 17-25, 26-24, 25-17, 23-25, 15-11. The teams met in the semifinals of the Peyton Chavez Invitational at Portales o...

In recent years, the Portales High-Lovington boys soccer series has been dominated by the Wildcats. Not on Tuesday, though. The Rams struck for three first-half goals and held on for a 3-2 win over the defending Class 4A state champions in the District 4-4A opener for both squads at the PHS pitch. It was Portales’ first win in the series since a 3-2 non-district triumph at home on Sept. 5, 2017. The teams became district rivals the next year, and in the five seasons since Lovington had won 10 in a row – by a combined sco...
