Stan Patterson at one time owned about five dozen clocks in his Clovis home, but has over the years downsized to about 20. He's learned all kinds of lessons, like the importance of staggering the ones with hourly chimes. "When all of those things go off," Patterson says with a laugh, "it drives you crazy."

Since Don Carthel became the football coach at West Texas A&M, the Buffaloes have been a major stumbling block for Eastern New Mexico University. This year's version figures to be no different. The 17th-ranked Buffs (6-1, 5-0 Lone Star Conference) come into today's 6 p.m. contest at Blackwater Draw on a major roll and haven't lost since the season opener at Colorado State-Pueblo — the No. 1-ranked team in NCAA Division II. "They're a good football team, very sound," first-year ENMU coach Josh Lynn said. "They have a b...
SAN ANGELO, Texas — It didn't take Angelo State long to take Eastern New Mexico University out of Friday's Lone Star Conference women's soccer match, and now the Zias are in danger of not making the league's post-season tournament. Freshman forward Lauren Bateman scored twice for the Rambelles (9-6-1, 7-4-1 LSC), the latter starting a three-goal barrage in a span of less than three minutes midway through the first half in a 5-0 rout of the Zias. ENMU (5-11-0, 4-8-0) fell into a last-place tie in the eight-team league with T... Full story
It took nearly a day to work up the nerve. Intramuscular may not sound so bad to those in health professions, but to a layman reading the instructions on the back of a plastic wrapper, it can sound downright horrific. And it was enough to get the package shoved in the fridge for the evening — a stalling, feet dragging case of, "have to, but really don't want." It's hard to tell how he did it, but the theory was the gelding had gotten a nail stuck in the toe of his hoof, though the offending nail was never located by the t...
"Cheeseburger!" said the Lady of the House. We had just spent the last three hours zipping over miles of two-lane blacktop through miles of vast emptiness that is northeastern New Mexico. "With green chile," she whispered. We were on our way to Red River, but our immediate destination, our shining El Dorado, was the dusty town of Roy, where we would find the best green chili cheeseburger in the world, according to the Lady of the House. We pulled into the town and I took a right. "Cheeseburger?" she asked "It's fine," I said,...

The Eastern New Mexico University men's soccer team may be the only one of the four in the Lone Star Conference not in the NCAA Division II national rankings, but the Greyhounds have shown they can hold their own. The Hounds battled 21st-ranked Midwestern State to a 1-1 draw on Friday at the ENMU pitch, and went toe-to-toe with the Mustangs throughout the match. Junior midfielder Eishu Kanemitsu tapped in the tying goal from inside the box with about 12 1/2 minutes left, and...

ALBUQUERQUE — The state that produced the peanut butter at the center of a growing national recall on Friday said it has identified its first victim of the salmonella outbreak, a 5-year-old girl from the eastern New Mexico county where the peanuts are grown and processed. The New Mexico Health Department said it confirmed the girl from Roosevelt County had been sickened by the same bacteria that had been found in Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Peanut Butter and the Sunland Inc. plant where it was produced. To date, most cases h... Full story
