CLOVIS — Without a tie-breaker vote, the appointment of a citizen representative to the Public Works Committee was halted in its tracks Thursday evening at the city commission meeting. Mayor David Lansford, who only votes to break a tie, missed Thursday's meeting due to a prior engagement, said Mayor Pro Tem Juan Garza, who was one of eight commissioners to vote on the Public Works vacancy. The eight commissioners ended up in a 4-4 vote on two of the three candidates for t...
TEXICO — A “New Legacy” is coming to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. The church near Texico, located at 291 State Road 77 will host a performance by the New Legacy Project 7 p.m. Sunday. The New Legacy Project has its roots in a 30s Gospel quartet, Blackwood Brothers, which toured until the late 90s, according to Tour Coordinator Bobbie Frye. “The last existing member of Blackwood Brothers Quartet passed away in the late 90s, but another lead singer continued on the legacy,” Frye said. According to Frye, the group toured un...
We live in a wide land where automobile transportation is not a benefit but a necessity. Rules for dealing with cars are almost as important as ways of dealing with people. And dealing with people’s cars and people in cars, is pretty much the epitome of need-to-know. Getting into someone’s vehicle without permission or invitation is a pretty serious line, in general. And I certainly don’t recommend ignoring that important standard of conduct in your everyday life. But, as wi...
I have been doing some reading in an unusual book. We have some of the “Foxfire” book series on our bookshelves in the den. The books in this group are an accumulation of the people’s ideas, ways of doing things, tips for cooking and canning and just general knowledge that was passed down through the people in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Georgia. What started out as a quarterly magazine in 1972 named “Foxfire” now has become a series of books. These books give much...
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” said the servant girl. Peter, standing near the fire, startled, began backtracking. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, and slinked over out into the entryway. But the girl is speaking again, not keeping her opinion to herself: “This fellow is one of them.” Again Peter denies it, but the meddlesome girl has struck the match, and the flames are spreading. Others chime in, “Of course, you’re one of them, for you’re a...

The injured man, who wasn't identified by Ford, was taken to Plains Regional Medical Center and listed in critical condition.

CLOVIS — The state’s Little League junior softball champion knows its not unbeatable, and last week’s state tournament proved that. But Clovis American also proved it’s a force to be reckoned with, and they hope to prove it again with a Little League World Series berth on the line. Clovis American, which won the state championship Tuesday in Albuquerque, returns there this morning for the Little League Southwest Regional Tournament. “They’ve come a long way,” coach Kelly Tindle said. “They’ve got each other’s backs.

In the first month of a resolution allowing certain New Mexico defendants to be released from detention centers without bail, eastern New Mexico residents displayed mixed feelings. Senate Joint Resolution 1 took effect July 1, and is aimed at “assuring that non-dangerous low-risk defendants are not jailed while awaiting trial solely because they cannot buy a bail bond,” as well as expediting pretrial detention of “clearly dangerous felons,” according to a press release by the New Mexico Administrative Office of the Courts....
