The conversation started out, “You don’t know me but I’m on sort of a fishing expedition.” I had heard that opening gambit before and I usually relished what was to come. As I get ready to give up my career at the Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce, those conversations will be one of the things I miss. Anyway, the fellow on the phone told me the object of his fishing trip was to try and locate anyone who might still own cattle of a certain breed called the American breed....

Curry County Association of Educational Retirees Today’s program was presented by Margaret Hinchee, director of the Clovis-Carver Public Library. She began with a fact-filled trivia quiz titled “How much do you know about the Clovis-Carver Library?” We found out many of us had forgotten what we knew about our long-standing library. But we quickly became experts. Our library was established in 1911 and has had many upgrades and improvements throughout the years. Hinchee relayed many facts about the library and encou...

With the notor...
Who is Jennifer Duke? "Jennifer Duke is a work in progress," she said as she sat in her office at Clovis Community College. The college academic advisor shared what she does know about herself with The News on Monday afternoon. Q: Where were you born? A: Concord, Calif. I was born at the base of Devil's Mountain at dawn when the sun and the moon were both on the horizon during a solar eclipse. Q: Where have you been? A: I grew up in Farmington and Clovis; Des Moines, Iowa and...
I’m privileged to have a Bill Vance original bolo tie and I’m not certain how I came to possess it. Just for the record, I did not steal it or find it on the street, but the true story of how it came into my possession is a bit foggy. First let me talk about the tie and then I’ll get to the story. Bill Vance was a gentleman who lived in Portales most of his life and I suspect was not a stranger to much of anyone in town. I knew his family because his youngest daughter Jill...
Possessions and proliferation. Two “p” words, each beginning with “p” as in “problem.” For the first to be last and the last to be first — a biblical concept for sure — I begin with “proliferation.” I’m not talking about nuclear proliferation. That is its own “capital P” problem. Suffice it to say that I love the prophet Isaiah’s words about the time when nations will “beat their swords into plowshares” (Isaiah 2). But, sadly, in this fallen world, that time is not now. No, th...
Last time I saw my mom was in a dream a few days after she died. I was walking with her to a bus station. “Where are you going?” I asked. “Montreal. I’ve never been,” she said. I got to show my mom around The Great American Southwest, even Mexico, while she was living. My mom came to see me a few times back in the ’90s. In 1992 she flew to Albuquerque from back east. I picked up her luggage and we moseyed on out to the parking lot. We stopped at my pickup truck. “This isn’t yours,” she said, standing back from the pickup....
Ask Seth Daniel who he is and the first thing he says is, "Father." After that answer he describes himself as "husband and proud member of our community." "I am also a chicken farmer," Daniel said. After his Wednesday morning radio show he told The News more about his life. Q: What brought you to Portales? A: My family moved here in 2002 when my parents took a job as house parents at the New Mexico Children's Home. I've moved around a lot but I always find myself back here. I...
Last week we held our annual banquet at the Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce and it marked a milestone for me as it will be my last as the Chamber’s executive director. Many of you probably know that I announced my plans to retire to our board last fall so they could be prepared before my Medicare kicks in this spring and I’m relaxing on Easy Street. Sure, I’ll have to get familiar with where all the soup kitchens are located and maybe check out those senior meals, but I d...
On this last Sunday of January, I invite you to open whatever you use for a calendar and jot down some dates because we have several great eating opportunities — many of them for good causes — heading our way. The first takes place today at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Bovina — their annual German sausage dinner. The church is located at 409 S. Third St. in Bovina, and they’ll be dishing up sausage, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, homemade sauerkraut and more from...
Enamored by their stoic personality and versatility within the ranch, owner of Windrush Alpaca Ranch Rosemary Metcalf said she fell in love with alpacas as soon as she saw them in a farm journal. Metcalf said alpacas are not your everyday livestock, but the adventure in taking care of them is an experience she wouldn’t trade for the world. “The beautiful thing about alpacas is their gentle and very stoic personalities … They’re very low maintenance and I loved the versatility of the alpaca fiber provided,” Metcalf said. Win...

This the last in a three-part series tracking my trip through skin cancer. I’m happy to report the squamous cell cancer in the bald patch of my head is now gone. If you’ve been following along here since Christmas you know that after dragging my feet more than I probably should have, I was diagnosed with the skin cancer in early December. I was very fortunate that I was quickly passed off to a second dermatologist in Lubbock who was able to get me in quickly and do the sur...
Lauren Rowley believes we live in a great state in New Mexico and believes Clovis has much to offer. "It has given me a lot and I want to give back," Rowley said. Part of that giving back is she has been a Clovis city commissioner for District 2 for the past four years. She told The News more about herself Tuesday. Q: What is your hometown? A: Clovis. I was born and raised here. I went away to Albuquerque for college and came back to start my adult life here. I went to the Uni...
