Clovis Unified "Hall of Fame" honors athletic accomplishments
November 4, 2024 – In the heart of Clovis North High School, Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) hosted their annual Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony in the Paul Shaghoian Concert Hall on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. This event celebrated the
spectacular accomplishments of Clovis Unified athletes who embody the well-known CUSD slogan “Building on the Legacy.” While the brisk autumn air filled the outside of the performance center, a large banner reading “Honor, Legacy, Tradition” prominently displayed at the entrance to the hall invited attendees to an evening full of laughter, delight, and enjoyment.
“The community over the years continues to build these facilities and so it’s a combination of what the community believes in, and the people that run the school district, the people that work in the school district, the parents, the kids – it’s all [about] the students, and that’s why it’s wonderful,” stated Carlo Prandini, who received the Doc
November 4, 2024 — On the eve of Election Day, Clovis City Council chambers were packed as community members gathered to discuss a variety of local issues. Mayor Lynne Ashbeck called the meeting to order, followed by Council Member Pierce leading the Pledge of Allegiance. The council dove into a range of topics, from resident concerns about traffic safety to updates on the city’s housing element and proposed adjustments to meeting schedules.
Steve Trevino, a long-time resident of Bullard Avenue, reignited a conversation about the dangers of speeding in his neighborhood. Despite past efforts to address these concerns, Trevino expressed
The first Old Town Harvest Car Show was a huge success
October 31, 2024 — Old Town Clovis was bustling with excitement on Sunday, October 27, as the inaugural Harvest Car Show transformed the streets into a showcase of vintage cars, custom builds, and motorcycles. Organized by the Business Organization of Old Town (B.O.O.T.), the event drew an impressive crowd of community members, car enthusiasts, and families who strolled through rows of lovingly restored vehicles, savoring food truck fare and enjoying live
music despite the overcast skies. For many in attendance, the show was a welcome opportunity to celebrate the rich automotive culture of Clovis and surrounding areas.
Heather Frantzich, Executive Director of B.O.O.T., opened the awards ceremony with a heartfelt announcement, sharing the news that the Harvest Car Show would become an annual tradition. “We put this together in the last couple of months, and I am pleased to tell you we will have this as an annual Old

worry about the 40 mph speed limit near school zones and suggested adding crosswalks at key intersections to enhance pedestrian safety. The council acknowledged Trevino's concerns, with city staff pledging to investigate options to slow traffic and improve crossings for the area’s many young pedestrians.
Following Trevino, resident Judy Johnson addressed the council with safety concerns near Clovis Elementary. Johnson described chaotic mornings as parents navigate busy streets without crossing guards, resulting in risky conditions for families and children. She urged city officials to take immediate action, recalling a recent cyclist accident as an example of potential dangers.
Mayor Beck agreed on the urgency, committing to discuss possible solutions with school district representatives.
After approving routine items on the consent calendar, council members turned their attention to funding for the Business Organization of Old Town (B.O.O.T.), which receives an annual city allocation of $60,000. Mayor Pro Tem Moan To Us raised questions about the organization’s nearly $44,000 deficit, expressing concerns about financial sustainability. Council members highlighted B.O.O.T.’s significant economic
HARVEST CAR SHOW
Town Harvest Car Show,” she said to enthusiastic applause. Frantzich, whose connection to Clovis’ automotive history runs deep—her grandfather, Gene Ford, once owned the largest Chevrolet dealership west of the Mississippi—was visibly moved by the community support. “This was a test run, and I’m going to be honest with you—it gets me choked up because the representation and the community support that we have is, I think, the best in the entire country,” she added.
Frantzich also dedicated the day to honoring military families, a personal mission close to her heart. She spoke of her father, a Vietnam veteran, and her mother, who served on the Clovis Veterans Memorial District board for over 40 years, noting the importance of giving back to those who have served. Frantzich herself is now a director for the district, and her commitment to honoring veterans was woven throughout the event.
The Harvest Car Show featured vehicles that reflected the spirit of Clovis’ car enthusiasts, including unique builds with stories as captivating as their appearances. Paul Hinkle’s 1948 Ford Thames, for example, had a sign detailing its historical significance: “In the late 60s, Contemporary Fiberglass made a mold of this Thames to make a body kit for the Kohler Vasser ‘King Kong’ gasser. This is the first Thames to have molds made from it.” Other highlights included
contribution through popular events like the weekly Farmers Market and the upcoming One Enchanted Evening, which draw large crowds to Old Town Clovis. Despite the positive impact, the council agreed to closely monitor B.O.O.T.'s finances moving forward.
The council then focused on the state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), which requires Clovis to add 8,977 new housing units across various income levels. City consultant Chelsea Payne outlined Clovis’s plans to meet these goals through new developments in areas like Loma Vista and Heritage Grove, where zoning allows for diverse housing densities.
Council members raised concerns about balancing market-rate and affordable housing. A council member stressed the need to protect Clovis’s buffer for lower-income housing units, pointing out that overdevelopment of market-rate housing could compromise affordability targets. Payne explained that state regulations prevent the city from denying market-rate projects but noted that programs like “No Net Loss” would help ensure adequate availability for affordable housing by tracking development patterns.
Comparing Clovis’s allocation with neighboring regions, Payne highlighted that Clovis has a slightly higher
Terry Nephew’s 1965 Ford Mustang, Denise Huffman’s 1958 Nash Metropolitan—lovingly named “The Little Stinker”—and Charles Adkins’ powerful 1963 Dodge 330 Max Wedge. The awards presentation highlighted the dedication and craftsmanship of car owners who had poured time and energy into restoring and preserving automotive history. Plaques were awarded to the top 25 standout vehicles, with additional Merchant Awards sponsored by local businesses, each recognizing the creativ ity and hard work behind these remarkable machines.
The show’s crowning moment came when Tim Logan accepted the “Best of Show” award for his beautifully restored Chevy pickup. Logan captivated the crowd as he recounted the truck’s history, which had been part of his family for generations. “My dad bought that pickup brand new. I learned how to drive in it when I was a little kid, and he drove it everywhere,” Logan shared. The truck had spent years as a trusty farm vehicle before sitting idle for two decades, waiting to be restored. “It’s been my dream since I was probably 16 to fix it up like I did, and I finally did,” he said, his story resonating with the audience and bringing smiles and cheers.
quota for very low-income units than other Fresno County cities. As Clovis advances, ongoing oversight and strategic zoning will be crucial in balancing growth with community needs.
In a related discussion, council members voiced frustration with the state’s requirement that only new units count toward affordable housing goals, excluding existing homes rented out to lower-income residents. Council members argued that Clovis’s longstanding support for affordable housing deserves recognition and should contribute to the city’s housing goals. Payne acknowledged this limitation but explained that the RHNA rules currently only recognize new construction.
Council members also discussed how housing overlays—zoning areas with higher-density allowances—could help meet affordable housing demands. Payne reassured the council that city staff are developing a tracking system to monitor these zones and ensure that rezoning efforts do not inadvertently reduce affordable housing stock.
As Clovis expands, council members also looked at how new areas like Vista Ranch could impact the city’s RHNA targets. Payne confirmed that developments in Vista Ranch will contribute to meeting the city’s housing needs across all income categories. Council members emphasized the importance of clear
standards to ensure these new developments align with Clovis’s character and provide essential amenities.
In the final deliberations, the council revisited a proposal to move their weekly meetings from Mondays to Tuesdays. City Manager John Holt explained that the adjustment would allow city staff more time to prepare and respond to last-minute inquiries from council members. Feedback from a public survey revealed mixed opinions on the proposed change, with about one-third preferring Mondays, another third favoring Tuesdays, and the remainder indifferent.
Councilmember Joe Patterson opposed the change, citing tradition and questioning whether it would truly address structural issues in council operations. Meanwhile, Councilmember Drew Bessinger supported the adjustment, noting it would give staff more flexibility to prepare high-quality information for council decisions. After a close vote, the council passed the amendment 3-2, setting the new meeting schedule to take effect on February 1.
As the meeting concluded, Holt assured council members that adjustments could be made if the schedule change proved ineffective, and council members expressed optimism about trying new approaches to improve council efficiency.
As the event drew to a close, Frantzich expressed her gratitude to the businesses and individuals who contributed to its success. She gave special thanks to local vendors like Rocket Fizz and car show

mainstays like Hot Rods of Fresno for their support. She also acknowledged her family and the B.O.O.T. board, saying, “It takes a village.” Reflecting on the day’s success, she added, “This is just the beginning."
With cherished cars like Cathy and Oly’s Fairlane 500, Gary Taylor’s Ford Model
A, and Jeff Bergen’s Buick, the Harvest Car Show closed with a promise for the future. Clovis residents are already looking forward to next year’s event, eager to see which cars—and stories—will take the spotlight in 2025, as Old Town Clovis embraces its love of cars, history, and community.

Buchanan Award at last year’s Hall of Fame.
He loves the community within the district and the camaraderie he found as an athlete in track and field. “It’s an individual sport within a team sport and so as an athlete, you can see yourself growing no matter where you’re finishing in the race.”
That lively community spirit was evident throughout the evening as attendees sported their navy-blue colors to match that of the district’s, weaving in and out of the building to enjoy refreshments and appetizers.
Attendees also marveled at the tables adorned with decorations celebrating those being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
“Our thing this year is ‘building on a legacy,’ and there’s nothing more legacy
than a lot of our graduates returning and giving us a chance to help celebrate them,” stated Norm Anderson, Deputy Superintendent of CUSD.
After a brief reception when attendees could mingle with families, friends, and inductees of the Hall of Fame both past and present, the ceremony honoring the newest inductees began.
George Takata, the Master of Ceremonies for the event and a retired TV sports anchor, conversed with the newest inductees in on-stage interviews, allowing the audience to get to know the famed athletes.
Dennis Lindsey was awarded the Doc Buchanan award for his 39-year legacy within Clovis Unified, having coached and taught at Clovis High School and Clovis West. “I think Doc Buchanan sort of exemplified what a leader is. It’s believing in kids, providing programs for the benefit of kids, and with money you see kids become successful,” Lindsey
stated.
The program for the event noted that Coach Lindsey “was involved in many of the foundational decisions credited with creating a district-wide athletic program and championed Doc’s model of ‘Win with class and lose with dignity’ to generations of student athletes.”
Other inductees into the Hall of Fame who were honored at the event were Tristin (Baxter) Kranenburg (swimming, water polo), Jose Hernandez (basketball coach), Ryan Indart (swimming, water polo), Willy Irwin (track and field), Todd Kemp (water polo), Ken Shipley (golf coach), and Billy Volek (football), predominantly representing Clovis West High School, with Willy Irwin hailing from Clovis East.

Trinity Community Church celebrates work in the mission field
Hannah-Grace Leece @ClovisRoundup
November 4, 2024 – “Missions work” in the church is often attributed to international outings, but Trinity Community Church, led by Pastor Andrei Sava, knows there’s much more to serving faithfully than global missions.
Trinity recently celebrated the contributions of their congregation to both local and international missions at their annual Fall Fun Fest and Missions Faire. They invited the community for an evening of fun and excitement paired with the opportunity to support their outreach efforts.
Sam Musgrave, one of Trinty’s pastors, knows the importance of this work firsthand. Having grown up as a “missionary kid” with parents in the mission field and attending school in the Philippines, he shared his unique perspective.
“We want, first and foremost, a very healthy local church, [which] is built by expository preaching, discipleship, shepherding, and it also seeks to reduplicate the local church around the globe,” Musgrave explained. “It exposes our local church to what God is doing across the nations.”
The event combined autumn festivities with a glimpse of international cultures, inviting attendees to learn about the global efforts of the Christian faith.
Families enjoyed free cotton candy, popcorn, and other fair foods, played in bounce houses, and visited the Discipleship Center where the Missions Faire was held.
Jen Graves, the leader for the International Student Ministries (ISM) at the church, adorned a beautiful navy-blue Egyptian dress with white accents as she greeted attendees with a warm smile.
Sharing the significant impact Trinity has had on international students at
Fresno State, she shared, “We get to see a lot of students who were incredibly lonely when they first got here and they now have a community… Most international students that come to the United States are never invited into the home of an American and we invite them into a home every single week.”
Devoting herself to the heart of this ministry at Trinity, Graves has been part of ISM for 12 years, giving international students a home-cooked meal once a week and inviting them to stay to learn more about the Bible.
She first presented the ministry to Pastor Andrei Sava and the missions board four years ago. “They were very enthusiastic…So now we are completely sponsored and supported by Trinity and we had oversight from our elders that we were looking for to help give guidance along the way, and it’s been really sweet.”
Also present were Scott and Laura Beery, members of The Gideon International, a Christ-centered ministry distributing pocket-sized Bibles to various organizations.
“You never know who you’re going to come around and who you’re going to see, you know? And it’s a blessing to them and a blessing to us,” Scott shared.
As the evening grew colder and attendees wrapped themselves in their winter coats, volunteers in neon green shirts roamed the event, ready to assist anyone in need. Over 150 volunteers dedicated their time to support Trinity’s heart for the community.
Sam Musgrave gave a shoutout to Nathan Belknap, Trinity’s Business Administrator and a member of the Worship team, who played a large hand in bringing the event together.
“If you want to know who the real mastermind is behind this event, it’s Nathan Belknap, that guy is just incredible. I know he and Mark
and our support staff [get] very little credit, just do incredible work, Shanna as well, and they’re just amazing at how they put together such a warm, well-organized event,” he continued.
“Mark” refers to Mark Padilla, the Ministry Assistant for Connecting & Missions, and “Shanna” refers to Shanna Frost, the Administrative
Assistant for Finance. With over 1500 people having attended this event, it marked an important step in the work of missions and connection with the local community for Trinity Community Church. They eagerly anticipate next year’s event and the construction of a new Worship Center to accommodate their growing congregation.
Small Business Saturday prepares for its arrival in Clovis
Clovis offers a refreshing alternative to big-box and online shopping experiences.
As the holiday season approaches, Clovis is preparing for another vibrant Small Business Saturday on November 30th, with enthusiasm bubbling among both local business owners and shoppers eager to spotlight the unique shops and artisans in the area. Heather Frantzich, the executive director of the Business Organization of Old Town (B.O.O.T.), is looking forward to the event, hoping to see the community come out in full force to support small businesses. Small Business Saturday has grown significantly over the past few years, transforming from a day of shopping into a community-wide celebration. Across Clovis, from the historic charm of Old Town to newer shops scattered throughout the city, businesses are gearing up to showcase their diverse offerings. With specialty clothing boutiques, antique stores, artisan co-ops, and cozy cafes,
Last year’s Small Business Saturday saw record attendance, with local businesses noting an increase in families and individuals choosing to shop small. The day underscored a community shift toward local shopping, as more people recognized the value of supporting Clovis businesses. Many shop owners felt the event revived the spirit of traditional “mom-and-pop” stores that built the foundation of American communities. This year, the tradition continues, with store owners hopeful that the event will be even more impactful.
To celebrate the day, participating businesses will be offering holiday discounts, unique promotions, and special events designed to make shopping fun and memorable. For example, some shops plan to treat early visitors to complimentary coffee, while others are offering
“tax-free” shopping experiences to add a little holiday cheer. The relaxed, festive environment in Old Town Clovis gives shoppers an experience different from the bustling crowds at larger stores, inviting families to enjoy a leisurely day of exploring small, local businesses.
With just a few weeks left before Christmas, Small Business Saturday offers the perfect opportunity to
start holiday shopping with a local touch. Those looking to make a full day of it can enjoy a warm drink at a local café, check out a few unique shops for gifts, and cap off the day with lunch at a nearby restaurant. It’s a great chance to support Clovis by shopping small and celebrating everything that makes the community vibrant and unique.

Andrews, a problem that he seeks to resolve with this business.
November 1, 2024 – Clovis local Max Andrews knows there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to running a small business in the Central Valley.
Andrews is the owner of Cost-Less Vacs, a vacuum store on Shaw Avenue that has been serving the Clovis area for 25 years.
Andrews took over the business in 2023 after the retirement of Paul Wagster, moving the store from its previous location in Old Town Clovis to Shaw.
At the new location, Andrews helps customers keep their vacuums running smoothly and offers advice on purchasing new ones when needed.
“To have a successful business, you have to solve a problem and help people,” Andrews stated, reflecting on his experiences working with Wagster and the evolution of the business. “It’s kind of rewarding because…I want to help people and you’re always helping somebody [in this business].”
When vacuums start to have issues, many opt to go online or to the nearest department store to purchase a new one. But this can end up very costly in the long run, according to
“You can spend a little more money on a good vacuum and just come once a year and get it serviced, and then your vacuum runs all the time,” he stated.
“You’re way ahead, as opposed to getting something that breaks and then you’re trying to fix it. You can’t fix it because they don’t make the parts for it, and then you’re buying another vacuum all over again.”
Additionally, throwing away a vacuum is bad for the environment, he noted.
Though Andrews preferred the Old Town Clovis location for its convenience to Clovis customers, he appreciates the benefits of the new spot, which offers better parking, a larger space, and attracts more customers from Fresno.
He also mentioned that when they first entered the new space, there were several vacancies in the shopping center, which has been remedied in the last year since.
Andrews expressed gratitude towards the loyal customers who have continued to support the business, stating,
“We’re kind of prideful about [being] a Clovis business. Clovis always supports small businesses and my customers do that too.”

Let’s Talk Clovis: Louis Milanesi, Clovis’ first motorcycle officer, 1927
Louis Milanesi’s family arrived here in Clovis in 1900 and he was born here in 1903. Louis was admired for his physical strength, personal integrity and generous spirit. He lived in Clovis until his death in 1981.
Louis was the third of eight children. His family moved from their home on the west side of Front Street (Clovis Ave) between 7th and 8th streets to a 13-acre olive farm east of Clovis on Tollhouse road. Their farm became the favorite playground for young boys. They were called the “Katzenjammer Kids.”
The early deaths of his parents (his father died when Louis was nine and his mother when he was 14) resulted in the children being “farmed out’ to various families. Louis lived with the John Shafner family. He was paid 50 cents per day for farm work.
By age 17, he was working in the barley mill owned by Wyman and Price. Price purchased a pool hall and Louis worked there. He also worked as a box maker at the numerous Clovis fruit packing sheds.
The County Sheriff was the top law enforcer after the 1856 formation of Fresno County. Cities and townships elected Marshals or Constables (title changed with size of territory) to serve as local law enforcement.
In 1927, Louis became Deputy Marshall of Clovis. He invested $200 of his money to buy a motorcycle, a gun and his uniform. His duties included traffic control, checking locks on stores at night and maintaining order.
He championed “instant justice” for the law breakers. Just the mention of his name would quell any fight in progress. His imposing physical build and the baton (night stick) he carried at his side reminded all that Clovis was a city of law and order.
He was a role model for the youth. He stated: “In those days we didn’t fool around with kids. They obeyed orders and did what they were told.”
Louis’ salary was $5 per day and reimbursement for gas and oil for his motorcycle. He worked a twelve hour day, seven days a week with one night off each month.
Louis married Helen Quick in December of 1927. Their two sons (Louis and Milton) were raised at their home (923 DeWitt). Helen’s family (Ben and Edna Quick) resided on the second floor of 620 ½ Fourth Street. Ben and J.F.
Gomez operated a barber shop at 643 Fifth Street.
In December of 1928, Roy Landers was appointed Chief of Police and Milanesi’s title changed to assistant Chief of Police. His duties and salary stayed the same and Clovis remained a “two man” police force. He had no formal police training. He remarked: “In those days you went out alone and did your job.”
He was also a volunteer fireman. He would ring the fire bell a 9 p.m. for the curfew that sent youth to their homes. Saloons were closed at 10:00 pm and the streets of Old Town were usually deserted until the shops opened the following morning.
Louis was a member of the fire department baseball team. He suffered a broken nose during a game with Selma. His reputation as a “tough guy” was reinforced as he rode patrol with a bandaged nose and two black eyes.
In addition to this police duties, Louis would hand sweep the major streets in Old Town. In 1930 he managed the City sewer, water and street departments. In 1957 he moved to the Clovis Sewer Farm, located south of Hammer Field (Yosemite Air Terminal) east of Peach and north of McKinley. He remained there until his retirement in 1967.
In 1981 Clovis Police Chief Gerald Galvin dedicated the Clovis Police

The Top Home Improvement Tips You Should Know
Contributed Noble Credit Union
It doesn’t matter how old your home is, or how long you’ve lived in it – every home can use some tender loving care. Home improvement/home equity loans are more popular than ever, so that means you can do some serious consideration of the improvements you’d like to make to your home.
Here are the top home improvement tips for people wanting a simple change or a home makeover:
Make improvements that add the most value to your home.
Some improvements are more likely than others to increase your home’s value, so it’s wise to consider whether a project has a return on your investment. Improvements like a master suite, a bathroom or kitchen remodel, a deck addition, or replacement windows
– these projects are the most likely to add to the resale value of your home. Start with a timely project.
Some home improvements can be more urgent than others. You might need a new roof, or a new water heater. Right now, for instance, is a good time to put in new drought tolerant landscaping. Do it yourself – on not?
With home improvements, it’s important to decide whether or not you want to do it yourself or hire professional assistance. You should know your limits, but if you’re skilled and have access to the tools you’ll need, go for it!
Learn more.
Whether your projects are big or small, there’s a ton of do it yourself information online and at the library. With a few home repair skills, you can take care of some issues yourself, or be better prepared to understand an estimate
provided by a professional. You can attend free clinics, classes or volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Be inspired.
There are entire TV networks that cover home improvements 24/7, so there’s no lack of ideas. Look for inspiration on TV, in magazines, and model homes. The right tools make the difference. A big percentage of do it yourself success is having or renting the correct tools for the job. Basic carpentry and plumbing tools will be used over and over, while specialty, one-purpose tools can be rented.
Use your equity for a home improvement loan.
Popular home improvements (like bathroom and kitchen remodels) can be the most expensive. That’s why Noble Credit Union is making a major springtime effort to encourage members of

Local golf star Bryson DeChambeau honored at Trump victory celebration
November 6, 2024 — Hometown hero and two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau took the stage early Wednesday morning at President-elect Donald Trump’s victory event, receiving a special acknowledgment from Trump during his speech at headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. DeChambeau, who recently collaborated with Trump on his popular "Break 50" YouTube series, has become known both for his success in golf and his commitment to giving back. Over the summer, DeChambeau played a round with Trump to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that supports veterans. The charity event,
featured on DeChambeau’s YouTube channel, showcased the athlete’s dedication to positive causes and his focus on entertainment for his followers.
In his speech, Trump praised the West Palm native’s achievements, joking, "He hits the ball a little longer than me, just a little bit," before complimenting his "fantastic" career. DeChambeau, wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, joined Trump on stage, where he acknowledged the crowd but chose not to speak, letting Trump’s words stand alone.
DeChambeau’s participation in events with Trump has sparked some conversation due to political divides, yet the golfer has remained focused on his mission to bring entertainment and support to veterans through his platform.
"There’s always risk associated to that. But from my perspective, it was focused on entertainment... providing great entertainment," DeChambeau explained in a recent interview.
Now a part of the LIV Golf series, DeChambeau continues to represent
West Palm Beach on a national level, drawing attention not only for his skill in golf but for his philanthropic efforts. His recognition by President-elect Trump marks a notable moment in his career, one that his hometown can celebrate as another example of his success both on and off the green.

Clovis/Fresno celebrate amazing turnout at 16th annual Two Cities Marathon
Steven Sandage
@ClovisRoundup
November 3, 2024 — In the cool early hours of November 3, runners gathered at Clovis Community College to embark on a journey through the flat, scenic trails of Clovis and Fresno, making up the renowned Two Cities Marathon. This year's race, in its 16th year and sponsored by CalViva Health, drew thousands of participants from across California, with a mix of locals, seasoned marathoners, and first-time racers.
As dawn broke, the air was buzzing with anticipation, and the runners were reminded of the morning's time change—a blessing for those squeezing in an extra hour of rest, but a potential hiccup for anyone adjusting alarms hastily. The main events kicked off with the full and half marathons at 6:30 a.m., the 10K at 6:40 a.m., and the 5K at 7:00 a.m. The flat, PR-friendly course was an invitation for runners aiming to beat personal records, and many of them rose to the challenge.
The full marathon was led by East Garrison’s own Josiah Leuenberger, 38, who crossed the finish line first (2:27:12.91), drawing cheers from the crowd as he clocked a time worthy of the Boston Challenge, part of the Two Cities Marathon’s partnership with Boston qualifiers.
The half marathon saw a triumphant victory by Bryan Banuelos, a 23-year-old from nearby Fresno, who flew past the final mile markers with ease (1:06:28.79) and confidence.
Banuelos’ win brought local pride to Fresno residents, who were out in force, cheering along the sidelines. The shorter races also saw fierce competition, with Elijah Williams, a 19-year-old from Fresno, leading the 5K (15:49.73). The 10K was dominated by San Francisco's Joey Barnett, 35, who maintained a steady pace (35:47.58) that kept his competitors at bay. Each winner earned more than a medal; they earned the admiration of thousands who gathered to celebrate their athletic achievements.
As runners poured across the finish line, they were greeted by the lively FitVine Finisher Village, which offered a warm breakfast, and plenty of entertainment, thanks to the Michelob Ultra Beer Garden and live music from the Michelob Ultra Stage. The festival atmosphere allowed participants and spectators to unwind, enjoy refreshments, and celebrate the completion of their races. For those who didn’t make it to the expo on Saturday at The Well Community Church, the Finisher Village served as the ultimate post-race destination, with vendor booths and giveaways. The great turnout from the previous day’s Valley Fitness Health and Fitness Expo had already set the tone for the weekend’s festivities. Vendors, including Fleet Feet, Pro-PT, and Bee Sweet, provided everything from training gear to refreshments. The expo also allowed friends and family to soak up the excitement ahead of race day, with booths from local sponsors like Sierra Pacific Orthopedics and Clovis Toyota showcasing the region’s community spirit.
With participants encouraged to arrive by 6 a.m., parking lots at Clovis Community College and Clovis North High School quickly filled. Shuttle services from Clovis West High School ran smoothly, starting at 5 a.m. and providing a hassle-free way to get runners to the starting line. The logistical organization of this year's event stood out, as race officials expertly managed both traffic and the flow of participants. For those unfamiliar with the Clovis area, accessible routes were mapped out, including directions from highways and local streets, ensuring that runners, friends, and family could navigate seamlessly. For some, this was more than a marathon—it was a weekend getaway, with nearby attractions like Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon national parks inviting participants to stay and explore.
From the array of sponsors, including Honda North, Fresno CVB, and National Holistic Institute, the marathon underscored the strong support of local businesses and organizations. Clovis Toyota, JD Foods, and Fleet Feet made significant contributions to this year’s event, with their support not only enhancing the race experience but also empowering causes like the Gavin Gladding Foundation and Clovis Community College Athletics. As the final runners crossed the finish line, and the crowds gradually dispersed, the legacy of the Two Cities Marathon grew richer. This year's event not only celebrated athletic prowess but also highlighted the unique charm of Clovis, a town where community and endurance intersect in an unforgettable experience for all involved.

Loma Vista celebrates Fall with annual Harvest Party
Hannah-Grace Leece
@ClovisRoundup
October 28, 2024 – Candy, mouthwatering food, and excitement filled the air at Loma Vista Community Church on the evening of Sunday, October 27, as the community gathered for their annual Harvest Party. This event, attended by hundreds of Clovis residents near and far, offered families a delightful evening of fun for everybody.
Against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, children collected candy from the beautifully decorated car trunks during Trunk-or-Treat, with themes ranging from Bluey to pirates with a sign saying “Store up your treasures in Heaven.”
After securing their candy haul, families took Instagram-worthy photos at the photo wall, a farmhouse-themed backdrop with pumpkins and autumn leaves gracing the sides of the area.
However, the fun didn’t stop there. Families enjoyed hayrides, delicious dinners and eye-catching desserts from various food trucks, bounce houses, a Toddler Play Area, and a meet-up with Clovis firefighters while sitting in a fire truck.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the church additionally had tables set up, CHP offering coloring pages and other fun items and the church offering prayer or more information about their beliefs at their evangelism table. This successful event was orchestrated by Danielle Stockdale, who, for the first time ever, planned it entirely on her own.
Stockdale wears many hats at Loma Vista Community Church, being the Communications Coordinator, Event Leader, and Administrative Assistant.
“This is an opportunity that we can give families a safe place to have fun and be together,” Stockdale shared.
“We’re just trying to bring our church into our community.”
And what a community-oriented event it was – everywhere you looked in the Loma Vista parking lot, families were exchanging hugs, laughter, and smiles as children ran around, playing with their friends.
Danika and Jack Olson, two members of the church, walked around with their 6-month-old daughter sporting a cute family costume – Danika and Jack dressed as farmers and their baby dressed up as an adorable baby cow.
The Olsons echoed Stockdale’s sentiments about bringing the church into the community.
Danika, a 26-year attendee of Loma Vista, expressed her deep appreciation for their teachings and their role in supporting and strengthening the community.
Jack touched on the special (and relatively new) location of the church at the intersection of Shaw and McCall Avenue, out in the Loma Vista community but very closely bordering Sanger.
He stated, “A lot of neighborhoods are springing up around here and I think it’s good … People can have a home church that’s in their community, which is exactly why we call it a community church.”
Those interested in visiting Loma Vista are invited to join them on Sunday mornings at 8:30AM, 10AM, and 11:30AM. People can also download their app or visit their website at
www.lomavistacc.com, where they can watch services live, submit prayer requests, and take notes on messages.
“Denim and Diamonds” dazzles the town of Clovis
Hannah-Grace Leece
@ClovisRoundup
October 29, 2024 – Soroptimist International of Clovis brought a sparkling, dazzling evening to the town of Clovis on Saturday, October 26 with their annual “Denim and Diamonds” event to fundraise for the organization.
This is an event that has taken place for years and is popular among Clovis locals. In the Liberty Ballroom of the Clovis Veterans Memorial District, bejeweled cowboy boots and sparkles graced the white tablecloths, surrounding attendees with glitter and jewels galore.
Mouthwatering desserts and delightful gifts caught the eyes of those who
walked by, offering auction items such as a rum cake, snickerdoodle cookies, a Yellowstone comfy wicker basket, a one-hour massage by a local massage therapist, and gift certificates to House of Juju and Me-N-Eds.
But this evening was more than getting to bid in exciting auctions – it was an opportunity for the community to give back and support an organization that gave young women a chance to receive an education.
“We do different programs in the support of women and girls, helping them through education, to achieve economic impact,” explained Stacie Ann Silva, the Treasurer of Soroptimist International. “We’re really just trying to connect them with people that can give them advice or give them mentorship of some sort.”
Silva said this is done through financial contributions for these women to achieve their goals, as well as giving education and training to obtain employment, providing mentors to be alongside them in their journeys, and through other means.
DeLaine Pereida, the Vice President of Soroptimist International, also spoke to her appreciation for all those who contributed to the success of the event and who have helped raise money for the organization. She mentioned the band that played at the event at a discounted rate, the volunteers that helped at the event, and the Clovis Kiwanis Club who provided food at a very low rate for attendees.
These people support the mission of the organization, which, in Pereida’s
words, is to “empower young women and girls through education.”
Ginny Federico, a member of Soroptimist International of Clovis for over 12 years, has seen firsthand some of the impacts this can make.
Federico shared her heart for the community that can be found within the organization, which has become a major part of her life. She stated, “What’s good about our club is that [there is] teamwork and everybody does their part…I’ve learned that, you know, it’s fun, but it’s also work, and it’s very rewarding.”
Those interested in supporting the mission of Soroptimist International of Clovis are invited to visit their website at www.siclovis.org.

Clovis Church celebrates community and fun with ‘Fall Fest’
Hannah-Grace Leece
@ClovisRoundup
November 1, 2024 – ‘Tis the season for fall festivals, and on the night of October 31, Clovis was bustling with autumn celebrations.
Among them was the Clovis Church Fall Fest, held in the heart of Old Town Clovis at the American Legion Hall. The night air was filled with excitement as the community gathered to celebrate the fall season.
The event included traditional fall festival activities such as a Trunk-or-Treat, alongside unique attractions such as a petting zoo, face painting, and a cake walk.
Ryan Montoya, a member of Clovis Church, donned a funky, eclectic Willy Wonka costume as he and his sister gave out candy to children in their Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory-themed trunk.
“We just want to give back to the community. I think we just want to show that we’re here, that we’re accepting of everyone, and we love people,” Montoya explained, highlighting the event’s community-focused spirit.
All throughout the night, this was a recurring theme – on two different sides of the parking lot in which the festival took place, welcome booths were found at the entrances, church members greeting people with a warm smile.
Throughout the evening, this welcoming theme was clearly displayed. Welcome booths at the entrances were set up by church members who greeted attendees with warm smiles, invited them to sign up for a gift card raffle, and provided information about the church.
Booths on the south side of the parking lot offered classic festival games like a fish toss, balloon dart throw, and
basketball hoop shooting, along with mini golf and an arts-and-crafts station where children could decorate their own starry crowns with multi-colored ribbon. Undoubtedly, however, the highlight of the night was the classic Trunk-orTreat, with numerous vehicles lined up with festive decorations and a variety of candy.
Characters like a giant inflated Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants mingled with attendees, such as a mom dressed as Taylor Swift and her daughter as Princess Belle.
Daniel Bravo, a minister of Clovis Church, shared insights into the event’s planning.
The church, an emerging congregation founded in 2020, currently utilizes space at Clovis First Baptist Church until they can get a building of their own.
The Fall Fest, now in its third year, aims
to provide a safe space for children to enjoy Halloween.
“It’s also a great way for the church to connect and just give back to the city as well,” Bravo stated.
The event was free for the community, offering hot dogs, snacks, and plenty of candy for the children.
“It’s been quite an experience and a joy to see families come together and be a part of something to serve,” Bravo said with a grateful smile.
Going forward, Clovis Church looks forward to more community-centered events, including their Community Thanksgiving Luncheon at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District at 2pm on Sunday November 24th, as well as their Community Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 15th at 5pm, located at First Baptist Church at 2080 Tollhouse Road in Clovis.
