Editor's notebook — Aug. 7

Tidbits of news that arrived recently via email:

• The turbines are coming.

The Portales/Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce tells us to be on the lookout for hundreds of large tractor-trailer rigs hauling turbines to the Roosevelt and Milo Wind Projects south of Portales, starting next week.

Deliveries will continue through mid-November.

The route for delivery is U.S. 70 from Clovis to Roosevelt County Road AK near Elida to Highway 114.

These are what you call wide loads.

• Karen Burns of Clovis Fire Department reports there will be a “real blood match,” from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 14 in front of the Clovis/Curry County Chamber of Commerce at 105 E. Grand.

Area residents are asked to donate blood for the badge of their choice — police or fire department.

• Avery Arnett, 13, of Clovis won multiple awards at the 2015 Texas Cattle Feeders Association Junior Fed Beef Challenge.

Avery earned $300 in cash, receiving awards for top rookie, best pen of three steers and best two individual carcasses, according to a TCFA news release.
