  • It's a long shot, but I'm hoping the Hounds make to the end

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Mar 16, 2024

    As a friend told me how her young son would narrate the backyard ball games he played by himself, I could relate. It’s called imagination and it was an innate ability that we used back before the internet, social media, video gaming and unlimited television choices. I used my imagination to do the same thing, even after I was much older than he is now. In the late 1960s, Greyhound men’s basketball was the hottest ticket in eastern New Mexico. Greyhound Arena was packed to...

  • Plan to live my life to the fullest extent in next chapter

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Mar 9, 2024

    I sit at home in my office with “my box” at my feet wondering what awaits me in my next chapter. I put the words “my box” in quotes because it was the term a good friend always used anytime business got tough at the car dealership where we worked and he feared some of us might get fired. “Well, I’ve got my box ready,” he would say, referring to the box he would use to load the stuff in his office if his employment ended. Truth is, he didn’t have much of a box...

  • Caitlin Clark deserves to become record holder for men and women

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Mar 2, 2024

    Today it is likely my basketball hero Pistol Pete Maravich’s career NCAA scoring record of 3,667 points will fall. A girl will displace him. Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. I guess that might just be because I haven’t really followed major women’s college basketball. She’s been tearing it up over four seasons. Maravich played at Louisiana State University over 50 years ago and has been dead for 35 years. But for me he set the mark in...

  • We only really feared three things in the dark of night

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Feb 24, 2024

    Growing up in the country around here we really only feared three things when it turned dark. None of those things was the boogey man and none of them involved hunting snipe — we were almost fearless. You sometimes knew where any of those three things were located, depending on whose house you were playing at and how kind they were to visiting playmates. Sometimes even when you knew where these things were, it didn’t matter when a good game of tag, kick-the-can, football o...

  • Flu left me home sick with bad TV, just like childhood

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Feb 17, 2024

    Over most of my working life I only had a handful of illnesses that forced me to stay home from work. The last four years I’ve now had the flu three times counting this past week. The first two of those I was properly vaccinated and yet tested positive for the real flu anyway. I gave up on the flu shot and still it nailed me. I’m not sure if it’s the gregariousness of this job or the fact that I’m spending more time in doctors’ offices or what but this stuff is reall...
