LAS CRUCES — A Clovis man convicted in 2014 of manslaughter was among prison inmates charged with attempted murder last week in Las Cruces. Rico Sena, 32, and four others allegedly attacked a sergeant and officer at the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility on June 16 after a nurse finished passing out medication in their pod. Inmates “congregated around the pod door” when prison staff attempted to place them into lockdown and were ultimately subdued with “less lethal shotgun and pepper ball grenades,” according...

CANNON AIR FORCE BASE — There was plenty of pomp and precision Wednesday morning at Cannon Air Force Base, with dozens of airmen in formation practicing every step and rotation hours in advance of the change of command ceremony that accompanies every odd-numbered summer. But the unmistakable elements that filled the hangar on the base’s south side were pride and camaraderie as Lt. Gen. James Slife didn’t say much about departing Col. Stewart Hammons or incoming 27th Speci...

There’s a big problem brewing down under. Free speech. Religious liberty. Political correctness. Employees’ rights. Employers’ rights. Contract law. If those are just a few of the spokes on the spinning wheel, picture a monkey wrench being shoved right into it. Yep. It’s a wreck. According to a Wall Street Journal article by Rhiannon Hoyle (July 1), Rugby Australia has fired one of the most famous sports figures in Australia and shredded his multimillion-dollar contrac...
This is my birthday month. Those of you with summer birthdays know it’s a little different. In the middle of March, everyone says, “Wow! A birthday party!” You bring treats to school and everyone is happy for an excuse to celebrate. It’s different for the summer kids. Everyone is already busy with vacations and visitors and then, somewhere in the middle of all that, someone says, “Oh! It’s Carrie’s birthday, isn’t it?” My birthday was particularly unreliable because it fell when the plant where my father worked as an engi...
Most Americans remember July 20, 1969, as the night man first walked on the moon. Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon’s surface at 8:56 p.m. (MDT), telling the world it was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” I watched it all live on television, but that’s not what I remember most about that night 50 years ago.
