CLOVIS — A Clovis woman received a three-year suspended sentence Wednesday morning for a charge of abuse following her son’s 2015 death. A jury trial for Rocio Montanez, 29, went for two days before a plea deal was struck. Under the deal, Montanez pleaded to one count of child abuse not resulting in great bodily harm.

Zero to sixty. That’s how fast this year we revved up the Thanksgiving sleigh, slid “over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house,” slammed down the turkey and dressing, and, before the tasty bird was even digested, hitched up the red-nosed reindeer, jingling all the way. My head’s spinning, and my feet are having a hard time catching up with the calendar. Christmas will be here before we know it, and, lest we take measures, before we’re genuinely ready to ob...
I feel like the appropriate-age-to-drive law is wrong. I feel like you should be able to get a driver’s license as soon as you can reach the pedals. Of course, 16 is already really young.

Our captain wasn’t worried. “People have been asking about the squeaking of the ship,” he reported, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, “but I must tell you, this is nothing to worry about.” He then proceeded to explain how a ship needed to give in heavy swells, just as an airplane had to flex during flight. “Otherwise,” he said cheerfully, “the ship would snap in two.” I’m not sure this was the reassurance worried passengers were looking for. My husband Peter and I are on the second week of our trip across the ocean. Th...
Clovis was the happening place for Christmas shoppers 100 years ago today. That was the top story in The Clovis News on Dec. 11, 1919. “People have traveled a greater distance to trade at Clovis this fall than ever before,” the story read. “Clovis merchants report that they are having the finest holiday trade they have ever had.” The unnamed reporter saw “automobile after automobile leaving Clovis filled with newly wrapped bundles.” The newspaper offered several reasons for the economic boom, but the main reason was that “m...
