We all know the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.” But what happens when the village doesn’t want to raise the child? What happened to the old days when children were taught to listen to adults and other figures of authority? And what happened to the days when people looked out for each other’s children? Some adults today don’t want to get involved, saying it’s other people’s affairs. But living in the same village, it eventually becomes everyone’s affair, particularly if their children decide to go on a shootin...

Airman Thomas Trower “One weekend a month, two weeks a year.” We’ve all seen or heard the slogan for the Air Force Reserve on the television, radio and Internet. What many may not know is that the Reserve has increased the maximum enlistment bonuses from $8,000 to $15,000 for selected Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs). These bonuses vary from place to place and depend on how badly the local Reserve unit needs that job filled. The only AFSC guaranteed a bonus from any unit is security forces, said Tech. Sgt. James Ring, Canno...

Clovis Police Officer Christopher Lopez programs the encrypting device on his portable radio Thursday at the Clovis Police Department. (Staff photo: Eric Kluth) Police scanners lodged in Clovis kitchens and living rooms may soon be junk pile fodder. Almost all Clovis Police Department transmissions will be encrypted beginning next week, according to CPD officials. The department contends the communications curtain will shield officers from meddling family members and criminals who use scanners to keep track of their...

The U.S. Supreme Court is moving from a period when it has been handling some of the easier cases on its docket, resulting in a surprising number of unanimous decisions, to handling more controversial decisions that will almost surely split the high court. One case decided last week led newly installed Chief Justice John Roberts to write his first dissent, and a rather stinging dissent it was. In Georgia v. Randolph the issue was whether police could enter a house and search it without a warrant when one of the people in the...
