Hillerman’s daughter takes reins

When Tony Hillerman died in 2008, fans of the acclaimed mystery author thought they would have to say goodbye to Navajo Nation Police detectives Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee as well.

Zimmerman @ 75

The year is 1938 and several students sit at tables, studying intently. The room is pleasantly quiet; the only sound is the turning of pages and the rustling of books. Construction can be heard throughout the building as the finishing touches are put on the new Zimmerman Library.

Kabob restaurant sticks it

The mix of New Mexican and Iranian décor in and around the Kabab House, and the grilled green chile served with all entrée plates makes perfect sense to Farid Veryiyani, owner of the Kabab House.

REVIEW: Play's charm is no 'Illuision'

A sign of a good script is when it is not immediately obvious which character will be the most interesting to play. “Romeo and Juliet” is easy. Mercutio has the best lines, the best death. The Nurse in drag can be fun too, if you’re willing.

Sex line aims to provide support

For employees of local phone sex company People Exchanging Power (PEP), the word “hello” takes on a different meaning. Founder Nancy Ava Miller and her 20-plus female employees work out of a nondescript building in Nob Hill’s business strip. It is a safe haven for men and women of all orientations and gender preferences to call just to talk

Flippin to the Finish

Chef Lamont Henio shrugged his shoulders and wiped his brow at the New Mexico State Fair grounds Wednesday afternoon, nearly an hour after presenting his work to a table of four judges. A notice from the loud speakers stated that a winner would be declared in 30 minutes.

Music about finding self

The bearded Seth Woods sits barefoot in front of a record collection four shelves high. He closes his eyes and begins to strum his acoustic guitar. By the time the lyrics of “Many Long Ago” escape his lips, he has seemingly forgotten there are people in the room.

Dancing the night away

For most dance graduates, the best one can hope for is an artist position that simply pays the bills. Luckily, 2013 UNM graduate Sonia Bologa said she found that and more just a few short weeks after graduation.

Journey to any place you imagine

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with fairies, dragons and everything to do with Celtic mythology. I would spend hours in my backyard, hoping to find a hidden doorway or secret cave and find myself in the middle of a fantastic adventure.
