Aside from a big “Closed” sign taped to the door, Ben’s Bar-B-Q on Prince Street still looks open.

Owner Ben Barrow said he’ll be keeping his memories of all the Clovis residents who have eaten with him through the years. “It’s been a pleasant experience with all the wonderful people of Clovis,” he said.

I was a little saddened to hear that Father Benedict Begin passed away on Sept. 27. At first the name didn’t ring a bell, but then I thought “Father Ben.” Father Ben had been one of my favorite priests, only I didn’t realize it back then, when he was pastor of St. Helen’s Catholic Church in the 1970s and 1980s. I probably went a couple of decades without even thinking about Father Ben after he left Portales. The timing of his death was somewhat coincidental, though, because Father Ben’s name has come up a couple of times re...
