The Clovis Centennial Committee placed a time capsule in a vault in the Clovis-Carver Public Library on Friday as part of the city’s 100-year anniversary. The capsule will be opened in 2057, city officials said. The stainless steel box held items commemorating the city as it is now. Some of the items include a cellular phone, a 2007 city of Clovis budget and a letter from U.S. Sen. Pete V. Domenici. Sixty-seven items were placed in the capsule, consisting mostly of things that will be historically relevant in 50 years. When the time capsule from 1907 was dug up, there were few items in it, according to Centennial Committee Chairman Raymond Mondragon. “We wanted to be more in tune with the history of city,” Mondragon said. “We went far beyond (the last time capsule).” Clovis Mayor David Lansford said the capsule provides a snapshot of Clovis as a community. “The time capsule is somewhat of a treasure chest. My hope for 50 years from now, folks that open this up will experience what we've experienced: faith, family and fellowship,” he said. Col. Timothy Leahy, commander of the 27th Special Operations Wing at Cannon Air Force Base, presented Lansford with the last coin of the 27th Fighter Wing as well as the first coin of 27th SOW, both to be placed in the capsule. After Mondragon gave the attendees a pop quiz on Clovis history, the capsule was locked. Lansford, Leahy and Mondragon helped each other lift the capsule into its vault. “We want the citizens of Clovis of 2057 to see that we are a city on the move,” Mondragon said.
