Editor's note: The following is an article in a series profiling local volunteers. PORTALES — "Why do you do it?" is a difficult question for Portales Meals on Wheels Treasurer Glenn McCoy to answer. "It's like, 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' Because it was there," said McCoy, who has been on the Meals on Wheels board since 2005. "To be real professional, I guess I would have to say I sense a need to help other people, not just with Meals on Wheels, but in other areas a...

Ushered in by a crisp tinge in the air and colorful leaves collecting on the ground, turkey day is so close, you can practically smell it already — and in a few short days thou shall be fat, sleepy and flush with leftovers. Almost four hundred years ago (five-shy of that, to be precise), the colonists hosted the first Thanksgiving, a celebration of gratitude for their survival and for success in their inaugural corn harvest as inhabitants of the new world. That three-day f...
CLOVIS — A smattering of businesses and residences in central Clovis had their power knocked out mid-afternoon Friday after a car accident took place near a transformer on 14th and Sycamore.

Reeves said a total of 1,700 customers got what he called a “blink,” which is an interruption of power that lasts a few seconds at most and is somet...

I enjoy the art of actually managing to wear every single item in my closet on a regular basis. Figuring out how to re-purpose an item that was initially meant to be worn only once on special occasion is key. There are times when you purchase that one dress for an event and love it so much that you ponder how and if you'll ever get the chance to wear it again. NiekaStyle The same goes for those after hour outfits that we wish we could wear during the day. Well, there are...

Change sometimes hits you like a slap in the face. Take, for instance, when you picked up your newspaper this morning and found that the name you’ve known for your entire life has changed. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is noted for the quote, “Change alone is unchanging.” I’ve also heard it as “The only constant is change.” That same mind also tells us “You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.” Karl Terry You could say thes...
