The business world is ever changing, thanks in large part to online retailers. Two events next week hope to shine a light into the darkness. The New Mexico Small Business Development Center is holding a free "Surviving Amazon" workshop from 5:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Monday at the Yam Theater in Portales, and another from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Curry County Chamber of Commerce in Clovis.

CLOVIS - Investigators are attempting to determine the cause of a structure fire Monday morning that badly damaged the inside of a church east of Clovis. Living Word Church of God Associate Pastor Bonetta Hutson said the fire was reported around 10:15 a.m. and that "the inside (was) just gone" after a blaze that responders put out in about 45 minutes. "Everyone is safe and no one got hurt, but our church was totally engulfed in flames," she wrote online. "Please keep us in pra...
PORTALES - What appeared to be a probable blowout victory for the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds ultimately turned into a down-to-the-wire affair in last Saturday's homecoming game against UT-Permian Basin. The Hounds got out to a 17-0 first-half lead, only to see the Falcons line up for a potential game-tying field goal with just 39 seconds left. Trailing 20-17, following a strong second-half push, UT-Permian Basin (1-5, 1-3 Lone Star Conference) put together a five play, 51...
FLOYD - Sometimes, bigger isn't always better. At least Floyd junior running back Juan Delgado doesn't seem to think so. After beginning his career at Portales, Delgado has spent the past two seasons with the Broncos, trading in 11-man football for 6-man competition. "I've been playing since I was in little league, and in Portales, I played my junior high year and freshman year," Delgado said. "I wanted to try something new, try six-man, so I came over to Floyd. So far, I've l...
PORTALES — The good news for the Eastern New Mexico women’s soccer team is it hasn’t surrendered a goal at home in the last 328:38 of action. The bad news? The Greyhounds haven’t scored a home goal in the last 197:02, either. The most recent 80 minutes came Sunday, when the team took its second-straight scoreless tie — this time against Lone Star Conference foe Midwestern State. The Greyhounds (2-6-4, 1-3-2) posted their third-straight shutout at Greyhound Stadium, including a 2-0 win Sept. 24 over Texas Woman’s and Wednesd...

Protests can bring meaningful change Thank God for protesters. Regardless of one’s views concerning the recent high-visibility protests, students of history will know that Martin Luther found it necessary to post his own protest. Five hundred years ago this October, the Roman Catholic priest and Augustinian monk protested the populist message that a few coins donated to the St. Peter’s Basilica building fund in Rome could secure the release of one’s dead relatives from the tortures of purgatory. For Luther, the issue at stake...
They squabble, debate, posture, pontificate and get mired in the occasional scandal — characteristics that come to mind at the mention of politicians and contribute to a reputation that isn’t always positive. Much of the perspective people have of lawmakers is drawn from campaigns, controversial issues that make the news and, perhaps more than anything, their renowned inability to get along on the issues put before them. Despite all the infighting, however, the Capitol Hil...
