Noah had lots of warning and detailed instructions from the highest authority on how to prepare for the Great Flood. Folks in New Mexico and Texas recently haven’t been so blessed.

It’s summer and it’s hot and we all need to hydrate. These days I carry a Yeti 30-ounce cup of ice water just about everywhere I go. I drink water with meals almost exclusively these days. I even bought me a filter pitcher to keep in my refrigerator to fill that mug with the best tasting water possible. That hasn’t always been the case with my hydration choices, however. Growing up we drank two things that would make folks today cringe. We had freshly brewed iced tea at noon a...

How do you start a conversation? I’ve never relished small talk, especially at a social event, but over the years I’ve taught myself to do it and I think I’m actually pretty good at it when I need to be. One of the strangest parts of human conversation, however, has to be the greeting. Whether we’re beginning a conversation in a business or social setting, on the phone or in person, our society requires that some sort of greeting is exchanged to start the conversation or you...

I’ve got to say that the idea being floated by the Surgeon General recently of putting a warning label on social media platforms might not be a bad idea. The type of warning we’re all familiar with like the one on cigarettes warning of the dangers of cancer and on alcohol warning pregnant women not to drink is what we’re talking about. I guess they would maybe put up a warning screen when you log on to your favorite platform warning of the dangers of addiction that could...
To many people in the area, Jimmy Hailey has been the face of the Clovis Wienerschnitzel fast-food franchise since the 1970s.

The business has been sold to a new owner and Hailey is semi-retired. He sat with The News on a sunny Monday morning at "The Der" and shared some things about his life and the "Hailey Special." Q: So you're from Clovis?...

I had an ice cream sandwich before I started writing this column and it sure tasted great. I could easily eat ice cream every night after supper but I’ve noticed over the years I’ve developed a problem when I do this; soon my britches won’t fasten and my belt is out on its last notch. But, if you just eat one at a time, these ice cream novelties as they used to be called is sort of portion control after a fashion. If I get started with an ice cream scoop I generally don’t stop...

I’ve finally found something suggested by the governor of New Mexico that I agree with. Children in our state would benefit from what she called during the legislative session a summer literacy bootcamp for kids that would provide four hours of reading instruction per day. The idea was to give kids from kindergarten through eighth grade a free summer school focused specifically on literacy. With only 38% of our children proficient at reading it’s well past time to do som...
