This summer we took a big step toward growing up, as parents. My oldest son spent the past three weeks with his grandparents in Florida. I couldn’t quite commit to sending him on his own to fly across the country. Though, I know he would have been in good hands with the flight attendant travel assistants. But, I couldn’t give him that much of a taste of freedom. So I did the first round of travel flying with him and getting him settled. It didn’t take long to realize that not only would he be fine without me, he was practical...

People need to know water for agriculture provides food and fiber, and Curry County is the top producer of raw agriculture products in the state, the new state secretary of agriculture said. New Mexico Secretary of Agriculture Jeff Witte gave the keynote speech during the annual field day at the New Mexico State University Agricultural Science Center at Clovis on Thursday. The day also included tours and information dealing with recent research at the center and lunch. Center Superintendent Rex Kirksey said he thought the...
As a light rain sprinkled over the Ute Reservoir, the sounds of protest drowned out officials’ optimistic vision of progress and a long-term solution for eastern New Mexico’s water supply. Hundreds attended Thursday’s groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System, commonly known as the Ute Water Project, ranging from Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., to Clovis and Portales city officials, to other officials marking the ceremonial first step to the $432 million pipeline project. But the t...
Freedom New Mexico Perhaps we should test welfare recipients for drugs. Heck, do it for the economy. Much of what distorts markets, and runs our economy into the ground, is welfare. Since July, Florida has used a new tactic in its war on welfare. It enforces a law, signed by Gov. Rick Scott in June, that forces adults who apply for help from the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program to pass drug tests. More people who want to abuse drugs will do so with their own money. The law was championed by taxpayers...
I heard it reported that Timothy Geithner, the treasury secretary of the U.S., said that Standard & Poor’s made a terrible decision when it downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating. He claimed this showed that S&P didn’t understand the math that is used to figure the U.S. government’s budget. Yeah, I don’t understand the fantasy math that results in “2 + 2 = unicorns pooping rainbows” either, so S&P is in good company. I also have trouble understanding the arrogance that leads this government official to claim that do...
He was a sorrel, almost 16 hands, and quite healthy-looking. I didn’t have a round pen, so I put him in the woven-wire fenced square pen. I did all the things I’d been taught: tied up his foot, sacked him out, saddled and unsaddled him, leaned over his bare back, picked up his feet. He didn’t object at all. He just snorted now and then. But his ears (the weather vane on a horse) stayed pinned back. I put a hackamore on his head and taught him to back a step as I pulled on the reins and said “back.” He did lick his lips, final...

Tech. Sgt. Melinda Morris with the 27th Special Operations Wing Equal Opportunity Office talks about the significance of Women’s Equality Day: The theme is never-changing, yet remains something to celebrate: Women’s rights. Women’s Equality Day is a Department of Defense governed observance, Aug. 26, celebrating one of the most “commonplace” rights for all American citizens — voting. The United States of America recently celebrated the 163rd anniversary of the first Women’s Rights Conference originally held in Seneca F...

Last weekend, I got to enjoy the musical entertainment of local one-man band Something Blue at Mark’s. Musician Brandon Tautfest plays the occasional cover song but most of his music is original songs and I have to say he is a talented songwriter as well as a singer. There are now some pretty good performers to be seen regularly at Mark’s on the weekends, so keep your eyes open for them. This Saturday will be local band Borrowed Time from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Also, Saturday is the Roosevelt General Hospital Health Fair fro...

Many wonderful women characters are chronicled in the Bible. Many women were strong, were creative and, with faith, overcame very difficult predicaments. One such woman was Jochebed. She is not as well known as Mary and Sarah and Rebekah of the Old Testament. Still her story is amazing. The years had passed. In fact, 400 years had passed. Joseph had long been dead, and the Hebrew people were increasing in population in Egypt. During this time, the Pharaoh in Egypt knew...
amos the churchmouse: a view from under the pew Editor’s note: Amos is a churchmouse, who types by hopping on a computer keyboard, but he can’t operate the capital shift, and he shuns punctuation marks – except hyphens and dashes. the monkey poem boss i can t help but marvel at the mess you humans often get into just judging by the stories in your newspaper it reminds me of a poem i stumbled across the other day in one of pastor leroy beetle s old sermon illustration books it went something like this three monkeys sat...
