You know, a healthy lifestyle and eating right is certainly okay...staying active and keeping fit is great, for those who do it. Oh yeah, don’t forget to stretch before any physical activity... just don’t do it like this guy. This week’s video is a clip that is obviously of a new fad-exercise technique, using a medicine ball. Anyway, the idea of this technique, is to bring the medicine ball above your head, getting a full-length stretch in your abdomen, then slamming the ball into the ground. So the guy in this video slams...

Jared Tucker: Portales News-Tribune The city of Portales announced water restrictions Thursday on its digital billboard outside city hall. City Manager Tom Howell said there is not a water crisis, but problems with two pumps at the city well mean less production. One of the pumps is expected to be fixed today. Jared Tucker Portales residents are under water restriction because two pumps at one of the city’s well fields are malfunctioning. The city issued a stage two water rationing alert Thursday and is asking residents to s...
Once I got in trouble for talking during the Sunday morning service. I was sitting in the balcony of the old church at 8th and Hinkle. The church was packed that day but the Lord and worshipping Him was the last thing on my mind that Sunday morning. I had just gotten braces on my teeth the week before and I was eager to show them off to my friends. So when Daddy got up to preach I viewed the huge crowd and the packed pews and thought that I would take the time to show off my...

My favorite place to live in America is California. But don’t get me wrong — one size does not fit all. And how wonderful that is, that people differ so much that they could be quite happy living in very different places. I love this since it helps to confirm my individualist position about human social life. On a recent visit to Portugal, near Lisbon and right off the Atlantic Coast, I rediscovered that country after having been away from it for 40 years. And it comes across very different now from what it was back t...
I mmigration activists are rightly starting to rethink their trust of the Obama administration. They have good reason: This administration has been more active in pursuing and deporting illegal residents than its immediate predecessors. Those advocates might, however, be a bit too sensitive about one recent development. People are voicing alarm that the government is stepping up its use of fingerprints to identify undocumented people and set them up for deportation. According to a recent Associated Press report, law...

Recent calls to Roosevelt County Dispatch, according to call logs: July 24 At 9:17 p.m. Portales Police responded to the 300 block of South Avenue I in reference to a domestic disturbance. The first officer arrived and handcuffed a female and put her in his patrol car.

Witnesses said she was out of control for about an hour, so the husband called his wife’s stepfather. The wife b...

Bennie Beutler got inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame this summer. He’s one of a good handful of stock contractors that have been so honored. Stock contractors are an odd lot. They’re not smilers. They’re always on the job … sort of a cross between a prison guard and the captain of a pirate ship. Maybe it’s because they are trying to maintain order in a sea of chaos. They are merely attempting to match up one cowboy with one animal, neither of which takes orders very well. I’ve had the pleasure to be with seve...

The city issued a stage two water rationing alert Thursday and is asking residents to stop watering lawns until two pumps are repaired or replaced and the level of the city’s water tank reaches 20 feet.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s hardest experiences. Shock, pain and grief deal a very painful blow. Emptiness and loneliness are overwhelming. Relatives and friends help to get us through the days before and after the funeral. However, what about the days and weeks to follow? I have seen family and friends go through this painful process. The coping skills I have seen in these precious survivors have increased my faith, and I want to share their courage. It helped me to cope when I lost my parents. Keeping up the c...

File photo City Engineer Justin Howalt testified the more than 20-year-old wastewater treatment plant is in such bad repair the city spent more than $19,000 recently just to keep it functioning until the project begins. City commissioners approved a $6.8 million bid Thursday night, clearing the way for Clovis to get started on its wastewater treatment project. The project had been stymied until district Judge David Reeb lifted a temporary restraining order Wednesday that prevented the city from moving forward. “We have r...
Cannon Connections Photo: Jared Tucker Laela Lancaster, 11 months, plays with a stuffed toy just before nap time. Her mother, Ashley Lancaster, has been an Family Child Care provider since January, and said she enjoys her job because she makes lesson plans to teach the children. There are enough in-home child care providers at Cannon Air Force Base, but that is bound to change as the base continues to grow, and older siblings return to school this fall, according to Family Child Care officials. Susie Galea has been a Family...
