Democrats’ prospects for holding onto Congress are fading a week before the U.S. election as voters focus on economic concerns rather than the rollback of abortion rights, bolstering Republicans who have made inflation a central issue in the race. Inflation is still high and a recession is a near certainty. Gasoline prices dipped but remain costlier than average and Democratic and independent outrage over abortion rights isn’t strong enough to overshadow that. Combine those factors with weak performances by Democrats in key...
It's been decades since reports have been widespread. But for half a century, downtown Clovis was haunted by ghostly apparitions, heart-stopping screams and midnight mysteries. Hundreds -- sometimes thousands -- of ordinary, working people reported witnessing the frightening events. Newspapers documented much of them as well.

Defensively, though, they held GCU to a 7-for-27 showing from distance and forced 20 turnovers. The Lopes led 21-15 in the fir...

CLOVIS — Sammy Fuentes knew he would probably win Friday’s District 4-5A boys cross country meet at Ned Houk Park, but he wanted to leave no doubt.
