You seldom hear in advance about the stuff he does. He just does it. Past tense. He buys everything in his path for reasons only he can understand. One morning he left his house in Seattle to buy a copy of the Seattle Times and came home instead with the Washington Post. Not the paper. The whole company. It’s not good he is hanging around this close to New Mexico. I can e...

Clovis Mayor David Lansford is now serving his fourth term in office. We asked Lansford a series of follow-up questions about Clovis city issues.

Managing Editor It never fails — a political, racial or religious topic pops up in media venues and without fail every time, you will see people grabbing their pitch forks and tar and feathers to lash out. Why? Is it fear over something they don’t understand? Is it indignation over someone's opinion disagreeing with their own? I don’t know.

Local columnist For my last weekend in Clovis, my friends and I met up at Kelley’s Bar. When we walked in, a four man cover band was performing on stage, playing classic Eagles hits and country songs. Their harmonies were tight, their musicianship good.

My memory gets a little hazy after that, but I felt good. Just enough for a buzz, b...
