From January 2009 to August 2012, Tim provided more than 275 features to The Chronicle-News, each accompanied by his photography. For the next eight months, the Chronicle ceased coverage of Raton stories and Tim bowed out--thus the gap here. A new editor pulled him back in the following summer and he continued with the paper into 2017. Use the Search feature in the left menu to find specific subjects and features.

Tim contributed more than 200 features and 500 photographs to The Chronicle-News in 2009 & 2010; however, by mid-2011 the Louisiana owner had cut back on pages and photos, then withdrew from the Raton/New Mexico market, greatly diminishing Tim's role.

Update: in November 2011, the newspaper's Louisiana owner contacted Tim to say that he missed Tim's writing in the paper. The two arranged for Tim to provide Raton arts coverage for the foreseeable future.
