Celebrity deaths don't usually stand out to me, but Elvis Presley and his daughter are exceptions. Everything I know about Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley, who passed Thursday at age 54, comes from media reports. I never saw either of them perform in person, don't remember buying any of their records, and can't say I've even read that much about them. But I've admired them both for a long time. Here's why: Elvis died at age 42 in 1977. I heard the news while dusting the clock...

My favorite poem is Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” This column is about the road not taken, but trust me it isn’t as deep as the poem. I’ve always been a fan of wandering country roads. Since I got wheels it was a favorite thing to do. Over the years I’ve traveled miles and miles with a shotgun, fishing pole or camera. Just longing to see what’s over the hill or around the next bend of the river. I’m surprised I’ve not ended up walking or hitchin’ any more than I hav...
Meadow Forget (for-ZHAY) has served as the mayor of Melrose since June. That hasn't stopped her from a full schedule of activities, including part-time work at the Melrose Bombing Range on contract with the U.S. Air Force and ministry as the youth director for the Melrose First Baptist Church. She is not a Melrose native, but she has shown a penchant for small-town living for decades. She also found time over the years to raise five sons to adulthood. Forget sat still for a...

He's taught elementary school, coached youth sports, worked on a couple of political campaigns and intends to pursue a master's degree in public policy. Something darker lurks, though: his birthday. He'll turn 27 on Feb. 21, which, save for a playoff miracle, will correspond directly with...

CLOVIS – Other than a few too many mechanical errors, Clovis Christian boys coach Trent McKay allowed that his team did all right in Friday night's 88-56 triumph over Elida at the Eagles' new on-campus gym. Seniors Carter Teune (29) and Noah Gershon (25) combined for nearly two-thirds of the points as CCS (12-3) improved to 2-0 in its new digs.

A humble supermarket staple is no longer. Egg prices have soared in recent months, driven largely by a devastating outbreak of avian flu. Some stores have even placed limits on purchases as reports of egg shortages emerge. At a Kroger in Fort Worth on Thursday, a dozen store-brand eggs cost $4.89, while cage-free, organic eggs hit $9.99. Customers were limited to three cartons. “It’s just sticker shock,” said Beth Johnson, as she picked up a few groceries for her family. “We used to eat eggs without even thinking. Now it...

The executive recommendation would maintain reserves at nearly 35%, which the Governor’s Office said are among the highest in state history. The proposed budget, which...
