PLAINS, Ga. - The former president would usually be sitting in his favorite chair by the time Jill Stuckey arrived at the Plains home. Stuckey would start the fire or, if it were a Sunday, set up the television for Jimmy Carter to watch his niece, Kim Fuller, teach Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church, followed by services at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. By herself and with a walker, Rosalynn Carter would soon come into the room, always ignoring Stuckey. "She...

Our Leadership Portales class, organized by the Chamber of Commerce where I work, recently finished up its annual section on “History and Heritage,” dealing with everything from when Clovis hunters butchered ancient bison just north of town to the travails of our local water situation. I lead a history windshield tour around town and my favorite stop is a place nearly everyone in town has noticed but no one has a clue what it symbolizes. The little structure next to a win...

NAZARETH – Farwell continued its strong early-season run on Friday, advancing to Saturday’s championship game of the Nazareth Invitational by beating the host Swiftettes 41-24.

Hodnett, a sophomore guard from Rio Rancho, is delivering key points – mainly from the 3-point line – and has helped the Greyhounds get off to a solid start. He was one of six players in double digits on Thursday night as the Hounds (3-2) opened Lone Star Conference play with a 103-70 rout of St. Edward's at Gre...
