SANTA FE — New Mexicans for Economic Prosperity, a statewide economic advocacy coalition, is celebrating New Mexico’s high position in dairy production during June, which is national dairy month. “We’re a national leader in dairy production, yet many New Mexicans don’t know about the industry’s vital contributions to our economy, particularly in rural communities,” said Kyler Nerison, NM4EP executive director. “National Dairy Month provides an opportunity to change that and help educate folks about the importance of t...

CLOVIS - Smack in the middle of the fray, in the center of the many softball fields hosting games for the 36th annual Custom Classic softball tournament, was a sign reading 'Welcome to the 'Guy' Leeder Complex."

Don’t give me a microphone unless you really want to hear me. I might need a T-shirt that has those words on it.

Recently as the Heritage Days Dance was coming to a close, as the spokesperson for the event, I mounted the stage right before the last number to be prepared to thank the crowd for coming out. That was when one of the band members popped off and said we need to...
