Watching the classic rivalry of New York Jets vs. New England Patriots as I write this column on a Thursday night, I’m struck by one thing. It’s just no fun hating the Patriots anymore without Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. When Brady retired, then unretired, much like myself a few short months later, he went on to lead Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl win. Hating Brady then, without Belichick wasn’t the same, even when he beat my favorite quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the honor. Su...

Aucutt's Paint Store celebrated its 85th anniversary in July. Tisha Brothers runs the place now, an occupation that started with her great-great-grandfather G.C. Williams on Main Street, Clovis, back in 1939. Did she train for the job? How did she come into running a paint store? "I grew up around the business, I learned from my dad and my education," Brothers said. Brothers, also director of the Clovis Volleyball Association for more than 20 years, told The News more about...

When Isaac Corral sold his goat, Pancho, for $13,000 at the Curry County Fair Junior Livestock Sale last month, that was the top bid of the event. With supporting add ons after the sale, Corral said he earned over $15,000. "There wasn't a dry eye in the sale ring when Isaac went through. They knew how hard he worked and what he went through," Malia Blackburn said. Blackburn is Corral's agriculture education teacher and Future Farmers of America advisor at Clovis High School....
Retirement was pretty good and then they called me off the bench and put me back in the game. I was starting to get rested up and I’d even loaded the van up for a camping trip once and didn’t quite make it down the road. Things didn’t work out and my old job as Chamber of Commerce executive director is open again and I agreed to help out in the interim on a “part time” basis. When people figure out I’m back I tell them one of two things. The first is I’m just back for an encor...
It was a Sunday morning and I was pondering the day ahead as I drank my coffee and The Lady of The House had her tea. “I think I can get two mowings in today. I gotta get my mowing done before the weed police cruise the neighborhood,” I said. We have an electric lawn mower. I can knock out about a half-hour of mowing before it needs to be charged again. It takes about three mowings to tackle our hacienda’s lawn. “We need a goat to take care of the lawn,” The Lady of The House said. This is not the first time bringing...

Local Realtor Brett Johnson called The News not long ago. "I know a guy you need to interview for 'Our People' in your Sunday paper. Alan Kinlund. He just won his second award from Forbes magazine," Johnson said.

His 2023 award features a bear, his 2024 award...
My phone rang last week and the caller ID read Jim Love. There’s only one Jim Love in this area, Coach Jim Love. He was the best thing about ninth-grade football, which proved to be my swan song in the sport. He was one of the best things about Portales High School. All the students and teachers loved Jim Love. He had a way of calling you out if you were out of line that got the message across quickly without him becoming the bad guy, unlike some of the other coaches. We h...

Rowdy has left the building, and my home may never be the same. Rowdy is a very cute, very energetic young dog who came to visit my much older little dog and me for the past week. Did I mention that he was young and energetic? I don’t know about Maggie, but I’m pooped. I volunteered our services as dog-sitter for my sister and her husband’s dog. After a play date to try things out, which went well, they dropped Rowdy off. It’s been a while since I had a pup around and even th...

Q: Why did you decide to go to Eastern? A: I was initially promised a scholarship with (Jeff) Elwell when he was chancellor, and I...

What do you remember about those days and how old were you when you left for the U.S.? A: The opposite actually. I was born in Ukraine, (Yalta, Crimea to be more specific) and then that a...
I usually love it when readers of my column write me. I like it even more when they write me and I end up learning something. After my column on George Causey a few weeks ago, Will Anderson wrote me to ask if I had ever heard of a gunfighter nicknamed Portales Bill. He said he had seen the man mentioned in one of his father’s many history books. The moniker clanged around a bit in my brain but after looking for a bit I had to write him back and tell him I wasn’t aware of som...
