Our family moved to Clovis in 1956. It was during those early years that I would ride with my daddy home at night after church and my mother and Susie would go ahead in their car. That was many years ago. The church is now in a different location and much different than it was in the 1950s. Memories of my childhood days and Sunday nights of long ago in the old church on Hinkle are still vivid in my mind. I must have been about 8 years old. On this particular Sunday, the...

Forty years later, there are still unanswered questions about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But one is unanswered only because it has never been asked: If Lee Harvey Oswald were alive today, would we let him walk the streets a free man? The question hasn’t been considered because it seems preposterous to think anyone would propose releasing a man who shot a president with the intention of killing him. But that is just what is being proposed in the case of John Hinckley Jr., who enjoys less notoriety than Oswald o...
When is the Bush administration going to stop violating Americans’ civil rights? According to The New York Times, the FBI has “collected extensive information on the tactics, training and organization of anti-war demonstrators and has advised local law enforcement officials to report any suspicious activity at protests to its counterterrorism squads.” The Times attributed the report in part to a “confidential bureau memorandum.” The FBI insists it only monitored groups that supposedly might cause violence. But the memo also... Full story

If preliminary reports turn out to be accurate, the Thanksgiving morning snowfall in Clovis tied the record high snowfall for the date. National Weather Service volunteer observer Nancy McPherson said Clovis received about one inch of snow between 6 and 9 a.m., with about 0.02 inch liquid equivalent precipitation. “I was shocked when I got up and it was snowing,” McPherson said. “I can remember our having snow several times on Halloween and it was kind of rough for kids, but at least on Thanksgiving most people don’t have to...

Some families limit the amount of gift-giving at Christmas time, on account of the size of the family, to one per person. It’s often a flexible rule that’s easily broken when Dec. 25 comes around. But being capable of giving even one gift to each of her four children is something Cindy (not her real name) is hoping for this holiday season. Cindy has lived in Clovis for the past seven years and has three girls — 13 years, 10 years, and a 4-month-old — and one boy who was born 17 months ago. “I live on a once-a-month income; I...
