  • Cheeseburgers in Paradise

    Jim Arwood, Correspondent|Updated Nov 25, 2023

    Exiting Interstate-25 south of Socorro, I head east on the two-lane asphalt known as U.S. 380. Auburn-tinted desert dappled with creosote bushes lines the highway. Ahead is the village of San Antonio, beyond that the Rio Grande River and further down the road the Jornada del Muerto basin. San Antonio, population 113, is one of those places you might miss if you blinked. But a yellow signal at the intersection of U.S. 380 and New Mexico 1 warns motorists to slow down as they...

  • Faith: Time spent with my brothers special gift

    Curtis Shelburne, Religion columnist|Updated Oct 25, 2023

    I spent most of last week in Robert Lee, Texas, with my three brothers at our maternal grandparents’ old home place. It was a good week. Those weeks always are. Granddaddy Key built that little house in 1928, so it’s approaching a 100th anniversary. I hereby propose to the guys (two are not all that far off from their own centennial) that we plan ahead and extend one of that year’s stays to a month or, at least, two weeks. Anything less would be disrespectful. For around...

  • Our people: 'King of the Kitchen' cooking again

Mendoza, grandson of Guadalajara's founder Librado Casillas, took some time Wednesday afternoon to talk about his life and the new Guadalajara Restaurant, just off the corner of North Prince a...

  • Publisher's journal: Free speech needs day of celebration

    David Stevens, The Staff of The News|Updated Oct 21, 2023

    I’ve been a journalist most of my life. So I have run afoul of the authorities several times when it comes to First Amendment issues. I guess the first time I was maybe 10 years old … I was editor of the Stevens Family Gazette. It had a circulation of six – one for me, my mother, my dad and three siblings, created on six hand-written loose leaf notebook pages. It was full of news relevant to its readers. For example, I always interviewed my mother for the supper menu....

  • Opinion: Higher education needs a revolution

    Bloomberg News, Syndicated content|Updated Oct 10, 2023

    When the revolution in higher education finally arrives, how will we know? I have a simple metric: When universities change how they measure faculty work time. Using this yardstick, the U.S. system remains far from a fundamental transformation. It is no accident that former college president Brian Rosenberg titled his new book, "‘Whatever It Is, I’m Against It’: Resistance to Change in Higher Education." Some background: Faculty at Tier 1 research universities (which includes my own employer, George Mason University)...

Larsen described how the shop will go about its business. “People come inside or at the drive-thru, and order from our menu,” Larsen wrote. She described The...

  • Soul of Rogers community remains

    Betty Williamson, Local columnist|Updated Jul 1, 2023

    Local historians tell us that during the early 1900s, Roosevelt County boasted more than 100 schools in the tiny communities that sprinkled the Plains like cornmeal. By 1957, that number had dwindled to six districts: Causey, Dora, Elida, Floyd, Portales, and Rogers. In May that year, the Rogers community made the painful decision to shutter the doors on its school with only 62 students remaining on the roster following graduation. By fall, many of those students were at...

  • Keeping an eye on the residents of 'Kingbird Corner'

    Grant McGee, The Staff of The News|Updated Jun 20, 2023

    The stucco hacienda, where The Lady of the House and I reside, sits on a corner we call "Kingbird Corner," in honor of the birds who drop in in late spring and disappear in August/September, the Western Kingbird. When they arrive for the season, one or two of them hang out at our place chattering and snapping bugs out of the sky. In late April or early May, if one listens to the springtime birdsong of the avian residents of eastern New Mexico and west Texas, you might catch...
