The National Association of Broadcasters Road Show came to Clovis Saturday. The show gives residents a chance to ask specific questions about the switch to digital television. On Feb. 17, broadcasters will stop broadcasting analog signals, only broadcasting digital signals. Angie Malone, media spokesperson for NAB and Manuel Izaguirre, field manager, spent Saturday answering questions for Clovis area residents at the Clovis-Carver Public Library. Here are four of the most common questions the pair have been asked on their...
Tough economic times require tough action. A check of the daily headlines or your 401K statement will tell the time for that action is now. Sales are down in lots of businesses, wage freezes or layoffs are occurring and the job market is tight. One of the best ways to overcome those problems is by becoming more frugal — thinking outside the box where personal finances are concerned — something at which I’m an expert. While some are advising we shouldn’t be ruled by fear and spending should continue, I know fro...
Freedom New Mexico The news that President Obama has signed an executive order to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay is welcome indeed. The detainee center has become an international symbol of the practice of skirting U.S. and international law and torture. Whether the torture allegations are valid or not — and we’re inclined to believe that outright torture has been rare — keeping detainees at Guantanamo no longer serves any purpose, and closing it can’t help but improve the U.S. image, both abroad and at...

I met a man. Business brought us together. I contacted him about an upcoming project and we started talking. I do a lot of work over the Internet, so informality is pretty common — no “Dear Sir:” and somber punctuation, but lots of first names and exclamation points. He invited me to chat, and a little magic box became a big part of my life. We slowly got to know each other. At first the conversations were formal, then personal details emerged. Compliments about my work and jokes that weren’t entirely appropriate led t...

Cattle guards prevent livestock from roaming county roads. They also prevent Quay County resident Lee Stone, 64, from driving his horse-and-wagon team from one piece of property to another. And so Stone is taking the county to court. He’s asking Quay County remove the guards from county roads where Stone drives his horses. District Court Judge Albert J. Mitchell Jr. on Jan. 14 made no ruling in the case, but gave Stone 30 days to amend his arguments and seek legal counsel. The county, respresented by Albuquerque-based a...

There’s little difference between the big, empty fields at Cannon Air Force Base and big, empty fields you’d see at random places across eastern New Mexico. But that’s all about to change in a big way. For Cannon Air Force Base to survive and thrive in its new mission for Air Force Special Operations Command, those empty fields must be renovated to handle gunships much larger than the fighter jets that preceded them at Cannon and Melrose Air Force Range. At least two new dormitories, 422 housing units and four aircraft hanga... Full story
