Jessica Kiser Not only did Airman 1st Class Jennifer Edwards of the 27th Special Operations Medical Support Squadron overcome her shyness to even audition for Cannon Idol in May, she won the competition Saturday at The Landing Zone. When she was the last one standing on stage, indicating that she won, she said she was shocked, amazed and elated. Edwards said her nerves almost kept her off the stage all together. “I never thought I could finish,” she said. “I thought I was going to sneak out before today came.” Edwards...
“Your opinion matters” is the view of Air Force officials on the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” survey released July 7 to more than 98,000 randomly selected active-duty Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members. Selected airmen have received an e-mail with the survey from Westat, a third-party contractor, on behalf of the Department of Defense. Westat is a professional, independent pollster collecting and analyzing the data. The confidential survey is not a referendum on whether or not to repeal the law, said L...

Looking back on my first few months (and probably years) as a military wife I will admit I was often confused. If you saw me with that happy but oh-so-puzzled look on my face, it was likely because you were speaking “military.” The abbreviations and acronyms are truly a language of their own and tossed out so nonchalantly in every day conversation that I do recall it feeling like an exclusive club and I had not yet earned a membership. Now, I’m probably the one confusing the “newbies” and “civilians” with my specialized v...

Jared Tucker New Mexico’s Tax Free Weekend Aug. 6-8 is very popular among consumers like Portales resident Monica Delgado. Delgado says this will be the second consecutive year she’s taken advantage of the holiday, and said last year she saved a bundle of cash when her youngest of two children started school. “I would guess about $150, because we went all out (on supplies and clothes)” Delgado said. Delgado’s daughter, first-grader Emari Rodriguez, said she’s happy too, because she’ll get to sport a Hannah Montana backpack to... Full story

Of course, this has provoked innumerable people, pundits, government officials, bureaucrats, and cheerleaders of extensive government regulation of business to... Full story
Glenda Price Summertime in the Southwest is rodeo time. We’ve got 4-H rodeos, high school and junior rodeos, high class amateur shows, punkin rollins, ranch rodeos and, of course, professional productions. In the old days we had several especially fun amateur rodeos — the kind where you can pay your entry fee and get your number half an hour before the event. Usually, the events included horse races. We had relays, pony express and even some matched races. The race track circled the arena. There were no starting g...
Freedom New Mexico Robert Moffit, director of the Center for Health Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, met recently with a Freedom Communications editorial board in California for a discussion about the impending consequences of the new, 2,300-page health care law and simple, practical legislative alternatives to Obamacare that could better address problems in the U.S. health system. Moffit lamented Obamacare’s unnecessary heavy spending and its propensity to undermine personal and economic freedoms. He said C... Full story

Newspapers are full of ads on school supplies and cardboard stands in stores have all the school supply lists from the surrounding towns. With the passing of July 4th, it seems that summer vacation is on the downside and anyone can tell that by seeing the endless supplies of backpacks, school paper, pencils, pens, markers, glue and other school supplies stacked on the s...
