Their baby boy was born last Thursday, which just happens to be “paper day” at the Transcript. It is the day that we prepare the paper to go to print. Everyone here will attest to the pull I felt to make it to...

As Spike Lee's character in the Nike Air Jordan commercial spots from the late 1980's asserted, "It's gotta be the shoes."

He laced the golden kicks up at the CNDC Outdoor Track Meet in Rugby last Tuesday, let himself get airborne with a hop, skip and jump, and listened for the event marshal's distance. Forty-three feet, nine and one-quarter inches....

In January, Southeast District Judge Cherie Clark affirmed a 2018 decision by Eddy County Water Resource District (ECWRD) to remove the Rosefield dam from Monty Schaefer’s property. Schaefer has since filed a Supreme Court appeal pro se (without legal counsel) solely based on procedural errors he believes were made.
