Freedom New Mexico ODESSA, Texas — Without a win since entering the NCAA Division II rankings two weeks ago for the first time in school history, the Eastern New Mexico University men’s soccer team was getting hungry.

The match was tougher than perhaps expected,...

More than a week has passed since Tiffany Young-Hartley reported her husband was fatally shot as they rode personal watercraft on International Falcon Reservoir, southeast of Laredo, Texas. She has made the rounds of national news shows describing the attack on the two of them, and demanding that her husband’s body be turned over to her. Supporters have rallied in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley and in Colorado, the couple’s original home, demanding resolution. Even Texas Gov. Rick Perry, never one to pass up an opportunity...
Let me see if I get this right: When I came back to Clovis in 1992, the jail was being discussed as unsuitable then. Fast forward 18 years and what have we got? A deficient jail and courthouse. So our “leaders” want to borrow an initial $16 million by issuing bonds that we, the taxpayers, are on the hook to pay back with interest. Our “leaders” also want to further tax us with a .25 cent raise on the gross receipts tax. (Can someone show me a tax that has ever gone away?) Now if 18 years ago our civic leadership had p...
