Years ago in a business seminar I remember a speaker telling our group of newspaper publishers that we needed to be ready to constantly reinvent our business model if we were going to survive into the 21st century. Some of us didn’t survive in the newspaper business too far into the 21st century. I made it a decade into the century but all I did the l...

Guest columnist I knew I had to see “Hell or High Water” when I received an urgent text from an Austin, Texas, pal. “It is so good,” she wrote, “and part of it is filmed in Coleman!” First, you have to know what Coleman, Texas, means to me. Anybody who participated in the Muleshoe speech and drama program under the legendary Kerry Moore knows of his penchant for making up names of small-town athletic teams and swearing they are true. As we rolled through Coleman on the way to a contest in the 1970’s, he announced, “H...

Sandoval, 79, is leaving after about 13 years representing District 3. He was appointed to the seat in 2003 after Robert Moreno passed away, retained the seat in 2004 and won three re-election bids. A 3:30 p.m. reception is scheduled for Sandoval prior to Thursday’s 5:15 p.m. meeting. It is the last sched...

Clovis’ planning and zoning commissioners talked about drones last week. More specifically, they talked about whether they should try and control them. They can’t. And they should not. P&Z Commissioner Carolyn Spence said she’s heard complaints about the small, remotely controlled aircraft from area residents. One person told Spence he saw a drone take a picture of him while he was sitting on his porch. “We don’t have anything in place to address whether that is trespassing,” Spence said at a meeting on Wednesday....
