We get what we call "free range" TV at the Stucco Hacienda. That means we've hooked our television to an antenna and we pick up whatever channels are out there. So when we go on vacation we get to see TV shows from satellite and cable channels that we don't usually see. One of the shows we recently watched was "Alaska State Troopers." A camera crew follows the guys around while patrolling the 49th state. On the episode that we watched they were dealing with collisions between motorists and moose. In one case someone made off...
The conclusion of the election had an edge of disappointment to it. Why no second-First Dog Mr. President? And what exactly did you mean by, "for now"? With election issues relegated to water under the bridge, there's still a lingering question in the fact the First Family won't extend their home to another pooch. In all fairness, perhaps the First Girls just don't spend enough time with the dog they got as a reward for supporting their dad on the road to the White House four...
Ever since Dora knocked off Lake Arthur in a midseason six-man battle of No. 1 versus No. 2, the Coyotes have become the de facto favorite to run the table to the school's first state championship. But Dora coach Mason McBee's job has been to keep heads level and continue the season-long winning streak that has translated to an 8-0 record. Today, in a New Mexico state semifinal game, the Coyotes will try to go one better than they did a year ago. Hondo Valley (4-4) will visit Dora for a 1 p.m. kickoff. Last season, Dora...
Andrew Helton wasn't that surprised to see his Eastern New Mexico University men's basketball team picked for last in the 10-team Lone Star Conference's preseason poll. Still, he was a bit taken aback. "Not a lot because of the players we lost," the fourth-year coach said of the surprise element. "But respect for our program isn't where I'd like it to be, and a lot of our kids aren't known to the league. "We haven't been anywhere near last place in three years. For us, it's...
On the surface, not much is on the line in today's 6 p.m. Lone Star Conference regular-season football finale at Kingsville, Texas, between Eastern New Mexico University and Texas A&M-Kingsville. On second glance, though, with a win the Javelinas (5-5, 4-3 LSC) are in line for a trip to the Kanza Bowl against a Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association opponent on Nov. 25 at Topeka, Kan. Kingsville is locked in a three-way tie for third with Tarleton State and Angelo State — but has wins over both of those o...
The holidays are fast-approaching and there are many gift ideas out there, but affordable, hand-crafted items with lace and burlap are all the rage this season. If you're looking for ideas, look no further. CMI staff photo: Traci Tuttle On Thursday and Friday, Curry County Extension Agent Glenda Belcher, showed attendants how to make Christmas ornaments, gifts, wood crafts, sewing and scrapbooking projects, using mostly lace, burlap, doilies and jute. Glenda Belcher, Curry County Home economist, hosted the 30th annual "Home...
MULESHOE — The Muleshoe and Littlefield defenses aren't used to being pushed around like this. Friday's battle for the District 1-2A Division I championship featured 14 touchdowns and nine turnovers — with only one punt. In the end, the Wildcats took advantage of five pass interceptions to lay claim to a 51-42 win over the Mules. Littlefield (8-2, 5-0 district) thus earned a first-round bye in next week's playoffs, while the Mules (8-2, 4-1) will face Denver City — a 45-44 loser on Friday to Brownfield on Friday — in a 7:30...
