Local columnist link Clyde Davis I grew up there — well, not very far from there. I was never really sure where Punxsutawney was, as a small child, any more than I was sure how to spell it. To the myopic mind of a young boy, it seemed to be very far away, this in the days of my life when a 20-minute car ride could spawn the string of questions: "Are we there yet? How much longer? When will we get there?" To the myopic mind of a young boy, there was also only one groundhog w...

link Karl Terry Local columnist If I told you that growing up I ate a lot of fried chicken that would probably be an understatement. We actually ate a whole lot of fried chicken. Our noon meal on the farm was called dinner and we had fried chicken at dinner probably three times a week and sometimes we had it at supper. This was back before the days of the chain chicken places and my mother fixed it right in her own kitchen. Not too many people would tackle pan-frying chicken...

He lived in a golden meadow, with a carrot patch in the middle, with his friends: black birds, blue butterflies, brown bears, gray gooses, green grasshoppers, orange orangutans, pink panthers, purple puppies, red roosters, yellow yaks, and animals for every color in a crayon box.

If employees show up to work drunk or high, then get hurt or worse, should they or their survivors still get 90 percent of the workers’ compensation benefits to which they normally would be entitled? Because right now in New Mexico they can and do, even if there is no question the impaired state is what caused the injury. That’s unfair to New Mexico’s employers, who saw their workers’ compensation insurance premiums increase 4 percent last year while rates in 19 other states dropped. It’s unfair to New Mexico’s sober emplo...
