link Kent McManigal I’m as far from being a Republican as I am from being a Democrat — as far as east is from west. But when I see misguided criticisms and flawed comparisons aimed at the wrong target, I feel the need to address them. Recently I witnessed someone scolding Republicans for their “opposition to socialism,” as demonstrated by their use of the Obamacare boondoggle for political theatrics. “Opposed to socialism?” Republicans are enthusiastic socialists in most eve...

PNT senior writer [email protected] Thousands of Eastern New Mexico residents who receive food stamps will see a decrease in their benefits starting today as a boost to the federal program from the 2009 economic stimulus has expired. According to the Agriculture Department, that means a family of four receiving food stamps will start receiving $36 less a month. Nineteen percent of Curry County’s population of nearly 50,000 and 17 percent of Roosevelt County’s more than 20,000 residents received food stamps, acc...

PNT senior writer [email protected] Olivia Low did not want to be a princess or anything that girls would stereotypically be. She wanted to take one small step for candy but a giant step for girl power with her astronaut costume. “I wanted to be an astronaut because everyone else is something girlie,” the 10-year-old from Portales said. Gravity was the only thing that held her down as she blended with the witches, superheroes and a few of the Robertson clan from Duc...

linkI had a blast from the 1980s and 1990s past last weekend when I spent most of my Saturday lying on the couch watching the first Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis and Civil Action with John Travolta. As most of us know, Die Hard is one of the greatest action movies out there, but Civil Action a movie with a slower plot scene. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s a story about a lawyer who becomes obsessed with a case regarding poisoned town water causing leuk... Full story
America has given us so many blessings we can hardly count them. Aren’t you glad you were born? Can you contain the joy of knowing God planned your birth? He has a special plan for your life. Had I never been born, I would not have I known or appreciate God’s provision of healing. (Psalm 139:14, NIV). “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well.” I am overcome with amazement at the creativity of an awesome God. Inside a body are organs, tissue and muscles that wo...

I recall experiences I had with houseflies when I was a teenager growing up in Raton. Whenever a housefly ventured into our home, the National Guard was called. My dad was the National Guard. I can still see him — fly swatter in hand, eyes glancing this way and that, until the invader was cited away from food and on a place that Mom would tolerate fly fluids and guts, then — swat. I enjoyed that performance with little concern. At that time in life, my mind was occupied wit...

CMI sports writer [email protected] Portales High’s boys face an uphill struggle today in the first round of the Class 1A-3A state soccer tournament. That said, the 11th-seeded Rams (8-10) have played reasonably well late in the season while their opponent, No. 6 Hope Christian, has been a bit up and down. The teams meet at 4 p.m. today on the Huskies’ home pitch in Albuquerque. The winner advances to the APS soccer complex in Albuquerque, and will get third-seeded St. Michael’s in a 3:45 p.m. quarterfinal match on Thurs... Full story
CMI sports writer [email protected] It’s been far from the best season for the tradition-laden Lovington Wildcats, who are an un-Lovington-like 1-7 as they enter District 4-3A play tonight against Portales High at Blackwater Draw. Some of that is deceptive because of the rugged schedule the Wildcats take on. Still, they usually have a far better record at this point in the season. Portales (5-4, 0-1 district) can’t worry about that, though. The Rams are coming in on their own three-game losing streak, including their dis...
