Raise your hand if you thought the bald eagle was our national bird all your life. We found out in the last few weeks we were all wrong about that. Somehow we put the bald eagle all over our currency, our military uniforms, our architecture and in a good portion of our patriotic merchandise without ever officially passing a bill through Congress adopting the symbol. President Joe Biden signed the bill changing all that on Christmas eve 2024. Evidently a drawing of the bald...

If it has an internal combustion engine, Hayden Williams has probably been a parts man or salesman for it: Tractors, other farm equipment, cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides. His work is what brought him from Plainview, Texas, to eastern New Mexico a few years ago. The News sat down with Williams on New Year’s eve in his office on East First St. Q: Tell us about where you were born, where’ve you been? A: I was born in Plainview, Texas.

Ask Herman Chavez for his favorite dish and he'll tell you it's Puerto Rican-style rice and beans with pork chops. "It was my grandmother's recipe," Chavez said. "It's the seasoning, sofrito, a custom blend of seasonings. They use it in everything. And the rice is so good, they cook it with chickpeas," Chavez added. Chavez told The News more about his life in a Thursday interview. Q: Where were you born? What do you remember about growing up? A: I was born in Far Rockaway, Que...
What a crazy, weird year 2024 has been. I had such high expectations and achieved so little realization. I retired in March and received a wonderful sendoff. So many friends and well-wishers attended that it warmed my heart and almost made it hard to leave. But I vowed I was off to fish and travel the country. I guess I did go fishing if you count the state park pond six miles down the road. But I’ve yet to use the state park pass I purchased to get motivated to get out t...

I’m a wildlife biologist in a tiny mountain town, not some kind of law-breaking celebrity stalker. At least not on purpose. It was an accident when I wandered onto the property of one of Hollywood’s hotte...

She shared more about her life in an interview with The News last week. Q: Where did you grow up? A: Petersburg, Texas. Petersburg is 15 miles off I-27 between Lubbock and Plainview. I graduated from Petersburg High School, I attended South Plains College in Levelland then transferred to Texas Tech. I have two degree...
It probably was a silent night over 2,000 years ago when Baby Jesus was born — at least until the heavenly host struck up the chorus. Last week, I went caroling with my church and even though we had a book of about 34 carols I made sure we sang “Silent Night” at each of our stops. We also sang “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” at each place but only did the “Figgy Pudding” verse once. In my mind there is no doubt that “Silent Night” is far and away the most popular Christmas...
Wes Robertson is one of those folks who dreamed about what he wanted to be when he grew up, and that's what he became. "I was fascinated by those old 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom' TV shows. I wanted to become a wildlife biologist and that's what I became," Robertson said. Robertson retired from his Game and Fish career about 16 years ago. Since then, he has gone places and done things. Robertson shared more about his life with The News: Q: Where were you born? Tell us...

Far and away my favorite Christmas movie of all time is the 1983 film “A Christmas Story” for its nostalgia and relation to my youth. The movie is set a decade before I was even born and in a Midwestern town very different from Portales, New Mexico, but somehow it evokes the way I felt at Christmastime growing up. The family dynamic itself to me is hilarious. The narrator speaking what’s happening inside Ralphie Parker’s mind as the movie plays out is somewhat like the voi...

They say patience is a virtue. Some days I show very little virtue. I guess if it were easy we would all be able to walk on water. When Peter saw Jesus walking on water he immediately thought that was something he was ready to do too. Peter’s faith wasn’t finished and when he took his eyes off Jesus he began to sink. We all get impatient and try to tackle things we didn’t take the time to patiently prepare for before embarking. I’ve never done a great job of preparing for a tr...
