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.
