Matt Rush is a farmer and rancher from Dora and is the executive vice president of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau. He believes agriculture is being unfairly targeted by Obama's administration. By now you've heard that farm and ranch families were victorious in their efforts at resisting new Department of Labor laws that would have prevented even teenagers from doing many farm and ranch chores that are necessary on a day-to-day basis. In its official statement, issued on April 26, the labor department said the...
For this week, I'd like to discuss a trio of crazes. I don't understand one, I look at the second with a different angle and the third is just a craze I'd like to see. - I don't get this whole "supermoon" craze. I really don't. But Kevin, the moon's closer than it has been for decades. It's normally 252,000 miles away, but it's now only a scant 222,000 miles away. It's SUPER. Let's put that into perspective. If I'm in Melrose and you're driving on Prince Street, you're driving a car. But if you're on Martin Luther King... Full story

President Obama's high-profile signing Friday of an executive order to protect Post-9/11 GI Bill users from predatory practices of for-profit schools is viewed by veterans' service organizations as a big step, but also a first step, toward curbing abuses within the U.S. education industry. Before grabbing his signing pen, the president warned an audience of soldiers and service families at Fort Stewart, Ga., of "bad actors out there" who aggressively market substandard education plans to veterans and service members who have...

Former Clovis High School basketball coach J.D. Isler has resigned after one season as coach at McMurry University in Abilene. Dave Beyer, the school's sports information director, made the announcement this morning. Isler cited family circumstances for his decision to leave the War Hawks. "This was not an easy decision nor one that was made in haste," Isler said. "This is something I have been thinking about for awhile. There is a need for me to be closer to my parents (in New Mexico) and be able to help them at this time in...
Try as we might, we are unable to picture Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman or Dwight D. Eisenhower spiking the ball at the end of World War II. The image of George H.W. Bush doing an end-zone dance in celebration of evicting Iraqi invaders from Kuwait in under 100 hours is equally hard to imagine. All of those leaders had one thing in common. They were effusive in their praise of the heroic men and women who did the actual fighting, bleeding and quite often dying that were the primary factor in great American battlefield...

ALBUQUERQUE — There wasn't much chance that the Portales Lady Rams would move out of their third-place position — either up or down — in Tuesday's final round of the Class 1A-3A state tournament. They had the satisfaction, though, of knowing they'd played much better than on Monday. The Lady Rams followed up their opening-round 398 total with a score of 364, with all five players improving over the first day. Their 36-hole total of 762 kept them in third behind Socorro (666) and Bosque (718), and comfortably in front of di...
ALBUQUERQUE — The Texico Lady Wolverines cut 26 strokes off their first-day total and moved up one spot to sixth at 430-404 — 834 in the Class 1A-3A girls state golf tournament at the UNM championship course. Senior Megan Long led the Lady Wolverines on Tuesday with a 45-48 — 93, finishing at 200 for 36 holes, while junior Laura McFarden shot 47-48 — 95 and ended at 192. "I was tickled," Texico coach Kristen Scanlan said of the team's improvement. "That was our goal going in. The wind wasn't as bad as (Monday), and that he... Full story
LAS CRUCES — Clovis High's boys couldn't mount a run at a Class 5A boys state championship on Tuesday. Even tougher, they fell just one stroke short of third place and a state trophy. District 4-5A rival Hobbs played by far the best golf of the day, shooting 310 for a two-day total of 614 to capture the championship. First-day leader Onate, meantime, struggled to a 326 score and finished second, 15 shots back. Rio Rancho Cleveland, fifth after Monday's round, managed to overtake the Wildcats for third, shooting 320 on T... Full story
A couple of reasons exist for Floyd not wanting to see Melrose in the Class 1A baseball state semifinals today at Manzano High School in Albuquerque. "Well, you kind of like to stay away from your friends, if you can, until the last game of the season if possible," Floyd coach Darwin Chenault said of the clash between District 3-1A rivals. But there is another reason too, even though nearly every recent statistic seems to suggest the Broncos (18-6, 11-1 district) shouldn't...

The city's water policy advisory board unanimously affirmed support of the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System Tuesday, after City Commissioner Randy Crowder presented research on the viability of pumping ground water from Fort Sumner to Clovis. Crowder, who chairs the board, pointed to the Berrendo water project of 2009 as evidence that a proposal to pump water from the Pecos River basin is likely to fail. The Berrendo project was an attempt by a private company in Santa Fe to pump ground water from the Pecos River basin...

I feel like I'll be letting a good friend down this weekend. I'm usually the one you can count on, I try to be selfless. I'm not saying that I've never put myself first, but now my career has definitely made some choices for me. When he walks that stage with his chiseled jaw and sparkling smile, he'll look into the crowd, and I won't be there. But I'm so proud of Dwayne Adams. He has so much heart for everything that he does and he knows hard work. So I hope he understands that is why I can only be at his graduation in...
