Reporter’s notebook Year of the dog uch farther east than our corner Mof New Mexico, the Lunar New Year was heralded Friday with festivi- ties in China, Korea, Vietnam and a few other Asian countries. In Clovis and Portales, the celebra- tions were a little more sub- dued. “I’m here at my business, I can’t do anything today,” Soon Cho, the owner of a specialty grocery store on Clovis' Main Street said Friday. But traditionally, Cho said, the occasion is marked by families coming together, playing games and eating special food. Loved ones passed are remembered and new clothes are purchased. “In China and Korea, we have a parade,” she said. And 15 days after the start of the new year, “we make rice — rice everything.” A representative of Eastern New Mexico University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs said Friday she wasn’t aware of any special programming in town for the new year, save for a fundraiser by the Roosevelt General Hospital Foundation that evening with a Chinese theme at Portales’ Yam Theater. RGH’s Public Relations Director Haylee Spence said the plates used at the event came from the college’s din- ing halls, with the mascot Greyhound logo printed on each being a happy coinci- dence with the advent of the Year of the Dog.

ALBUQUERQUE — The Clovis High boys and girls swim teams added seven new school records at the state champi- onship meet in WILDCATS Albuquerque this weekend, highlighted by the girls’ best finish in school history and two individual top-three fin- ishes for James Skuse. On the girls side, Clovis finished fourth with 213 points, behind Academy (419), La Cueva (320), Eldorado (232) and ahead of Las Cruces (178), the highest the Lady Wildcats have ever finished at the state champi- onship. “We’re really excited about that,” Clovis coach Vincent de Maio said. “The girls were outnumbered two to one by the teams that beat them. They’re only out of third by 21 points. At one point we kind of had a shot at it, which would have been remarkable, but just not quite there.” Numbers also became an issue for the Wildcats on the boys side, finishing seventh with 164 points. “We just ran out of guys,” de Maio said. “The relays did all they could, James did all he could, Case (Smith) and Ethan (Zamora), they did all they could. Six boys just can’t get there.” Eldorado (300), Academy Staff photo: Tony Bullocks (272.5), La Cueva (272), Floyd sophomore Anahi Chavez drives along the baseline past Clovis Christian School defender freshman Lola DeGroot in the first half Cibola (197) and Sandia of Monday night’s District 4-A game at CCS gym.

By Kevin Wilson MANAGING EDITOR [email protected] PORTALES — Home runs can turn a team’s luck around in a hurry, and Eastern New Mexico’s 13th of the year has Greyhounds so far brought the most for- tunes of all. Pinch hitter Courtney Vigil drove a 2-2 pitch just past the fence in left for a two-run sixth-inning blast to propel the Greyhounds to a 7-5 victory over Western New Mexico Sunday and a sweep in their first Lone Star Conference series. The one-out blast for Vigil swung momentum back to Eastern (8-5, 3-0), not too long after Western’s Alicia Habitzreuther’s solo homer sparked a four-run fifth to knot things up. “Home runs turn games,” third-year ENMU coach Katie Welborn said. “We’re lucky ours came last.
