Clovis Roundup - September 28, 2022

ClovisFest welcomes in the Fall season

Clovis Tax Proposal Listed as Measure B

Recently, the City of Clovis offi cially had their plan to fund the Police Department listed on the November ballot as “Measure B”. The tax mea sure does not come out of the pockets of Clovis residents however, it will only affect the Clovis hotels and mo tels as these businesses will see a 2% increase for their customers’ rates.

The 2% increase is to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is expected to bring in about $500,000 of revenue for the Police Department and more specifically to hire more police offi cers.

The 2% increase was recommend ed to the City Council by the Citizens Advisory Committee back in April of this year, when they were tasked with the issue of how to further fund the Police Department after Chief Curt Fleming addressed the City Council in November of last year.

On the first weekend of fall, on lookers lined up and walked about through the Clovis Chamber of Commerce’s 47th Annual ClovisFest. On Saturday and Sunday September

24th and 25th, in Old Town Clovis, for approximately five blocks on Pollasky Avenue, booths lined the streets and people flooded the walk ways as quick glances soon became long inspections of merchandise that may have caught one’s eye.

But food booths and goods

weren’t the only attraction offered at ClovisFest, for this year as in seven year’s past, the International Village was a part of ClovisFest in addition to other entertainment such as the Hot AIr Balloon Fun Fly and the second year of the Made In Clovis promotion

Pg.

The City of Clovis recognizes that a no vote on Measure B would mean that the Transient Occupancy Tax, affecting patrons of hotels and motels in Clovis, would remain at 10% and there would be no further funding of the Police Department in Clovis.

In order to pass, Measure B must receive a yes vote by a majority of voters, 50% plus one vote.

Heroes’ Event Hosted by New Covenant Community Church

to tractors and ambulances, community fixtures were present in the church’s parking lot in order to get to know and feel a part of both the Fresno and Clovis communities.

With plenty of family fun, including a scavenger hunt, many came out to enjoy the festivities. When completed, the scavenger hunt, designed for families to enjoy while meeting and speaking with groups such as the Police’s K9 Unit or the Fresno City College Fire Truck, could be taken to the front of the large parking lot where families would meet with Pastor Chip and be greeted with a prize.

Centers For Living Formally Introduces Self to City Council

J.T. Gomez jt21gomez@gmail.com

At the most recent Clovis City Council meeting, a non-profit organization called “Centers For Living” introduced themselves to the city council. The Centers for Living is a non-profit that is “committed to providing a safe, sober, and empowering housing environ ment for people in transition.”

Their website lists “people in transition” as those who can relate to the following different circumstances such as homelessness, incarcer ation, job loss, grief, divorce, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, etc.

Leaders from the Centers For Living organization spoke to the council about the services they provide including housing, and the challenges they have faced throughout their run.

“It’s based on clients trying to contribute on their own, to have that buy in. The challenge is they come in to us, broken.”

Leaders explained that their “pay as they stay” model comes with benefits through “safe, sustainable housing environments.” The main idea is to transition those who come for help into independence.

Members from the “Centers For Living” organization then went on to state how they’ve recently come into the Clovis community through the “2nd Chance Thrift Store” on Clo vis and Shaw avenue. 100% of their revenue from that thrift store goes to employing those who work at the store and back into their orga nization to help those who are in need.

This thrift store is related to the “second” part of the Centers For Living’s enterprise as they attempt to create businesses and entrepre

neurships that help those trying to make the transition to daily life.

The leaders then mentioned the issue of homelessness is in Clovis and that they even see homelessness from the front of their thrift store. They went on to speak about how a helping hand can go so much further than neg ative energy.

“It stems from love as well, we try not to sound too, kind of, too pious or anything like that, but we definitely have learned that if you show love instead of shame, you can almost love someone back into sobriety.”

To the council directly, they relayed, “We just wanted you to know that we’re here and are extending our help….We’re not looking for anything, we’re just wanting to let you know that we’re here.”

Councilman Drew Bessinger praised the efforts of the Centers For Living nonprofit stating, “You have mental health breakdowns, you can get some treatment, but there’s no long-term assistance. Same thing with alcohol ism…I know it’s difficult.”

You can learn more about the Centers for Living program and organization at their web site https://www.centersforliving.org/ where you can also find a link to donate and video’s describing who they are and what their mis sion is.

Meet Clovis City Council Candidate Matt Basgall

Clovis is left for future generations.

“It needs to be organized and thought out and we need to do it in a systematic way that is best for our community,” Basgall said.

The 2022 Clovis City Council race has a crowded field of candidates heading into the Nov. 8 election with nine candidates who are a mix of new and familiar faces and one in cumbent seeking re-election.

The Clovis Roundup reached out to can didates for interviews and those that replied will be featured in upcoming articles. First to be featured is Matt Basgall.

Matt Basgall has been a resident of Clovis for 30 years and has had a career with the Clovis Police Department for approximately 29 of those years. During that time he took on positions such as canine handler, detective, and then Chief of Police for six years. Basgall credited his motivation to be more involved with the community and giving a focus to public safety as his catalyst for running for City Council.

“I’m a huge proponent and supporter of the police department. I know that the police department had its struggle with being able to get staffing and they are the same struggles I faced for all the years that I was involved and we’re constantly looking for creative ways to solve problems,” Basgall said.

School safety and a focus on bringing more businesses into Clovis, specifically the Sierra Vista Mall, which according to Basgall is “typically empty”, are issues Basgall said are his focus.

“I know there’s a new owner of it, but the Sierra Vista Mall had such a great opportu nity. But yet the middle of it is still so empty,

how do we fix that? We’ve built up from the corners, we’ve got the movie theater and those are all good but everything in between there is a ghost town and we got to figure that out,” Basgall said.

Basgall said he is an advocate for “respon sible growth” in Clovis because, however the city is developed in the future, will be how

Set against a backdrop of a crowded field of candidates, Basgall said his perspective of living through similar issues facing many voters in Clovis paired with his experience as a member of the police department pro vides him with a unique perspective that he feels voters may appreciate.

“We may have to reevaluate how we do things and maybe we have to make some tough choices along the way. Currently I know everybody hates taxes, and right now we’re working on a hotel or transportation tax that will only apply to people who stay in hotel rooms…while this could generate up to $500,000…I think we could’ve done more with this particular initiative…”Basgall said.

Basgall said, in Clovis “we respond to everything, we take care of the little things before they become big things,” and Basgall added that as Clovis continues to grow it’ll become more difficult to maintain that stan dard if the right resources and support don’t make it to where they are needed in order to get Clovis back to a point where Clovis can “respond to everything,”.

Meet Clovis City Council Candidate Diane Pearce

family’s opportunity to move to Clovis paired with a goal of representing self em ployed citizens of Clovis by running.

Diane Pearce, who moved to Clovis over three years ago, has been a small business production owner in Clovis for the last 20 years. After graduating from UC Davis, Pearce worked for former Congressman Radanovich. After that, she was a substitute teacher in Clovis Unified.

Pearce ran for election last cycle and didn’t anticipate returning, but she could not pass up this opportunity.

“Last round was just kind of a unique op portunity with some of the things that I had seen and so I went ahead and ran last cycle but I didn’t really know that I was going to be running again so soon. But when this opportunity presented itself, I had a number of people who reached out to me and my husband and I had already been considering it and so I decided to go ahead and take the plunge again,” Pearce said.

Heading into this election, Pearce said she has the “momentum” from her previous attempt and this time she’s picking up where she left off, as opposed to just starting over.

For Pearce, the catalyst for her decision to run for City Council stemmed from her

relaxed at the helm of the “Finish Here” booth, talked about how the church likes to host different events throughout the year in order to have a good time and get to know one another.

“We like to have fun events where people can come and just enjoy and have fun, get food, hang out, get to know one another.”

He did then mention that it is also a “bridge event” for New Covenant Community Church as a whole in order to reach out to possible future patrons for their church “to have people come see [them] and have fun.”

Ultimately though, Pastor Chip acknowledged that the event held Saturday was to connect the community with those daily workers who keep their

“I recognized that the Clovis City Coun cil didn’t have anyone who was self em ployed and diversity of experience is import ant to a governing body,” Pearce said.

The issues of keeping Clovis safe, sup porting local business, maintaining local control and protecting Clovis schools are what Peace feels are key issues this election because “anybody seeking to represent this community had better not only just be aware of it, but committed to maintaining those things,” Pearce said.

“I think the most important responsibility of any government agency is public safety, to make sure that their citizens are safe in their businesses, their neighborhoods, and that their kids can walk to school safely and play in their parks,” Pearce said.

Pearce said the people’s ability to buy into the Clovis way of life and make Clo vis their home, like Pearce’s family has, is something she wants for others. Pearce said to do it starts with a focus on “safety and excellent schools,”.

Pearce said in a big field of candidates she feels that her background as a business owner will provide a voice for the business

communities running day in and day out. “What’s really cool is you get to walk around and like talk to some of the people that run the fire trucks and the police and just like it’s cool to be able to personally thank them and say like, ‘Dude, you know I don’t know if you hear it often enough,’ [just to be able] to say ‘Thank you for all that you do’”.

Pastor Chip culminated the experience by saying, “We want to connect the community with you know the people who are around here serving our community, we want to get them connected.”

New Covenant Church was also passing out flyers for their upcoming events which include the “Trunk r Treat” event on October 30th and their Christmas Boutique that will take place on October 29th.

sector and her experience of being self em ployed and her connection to community leaders and other local officials helps quali fy her for a position such as this.

“Being able to reach out and partner with [other local elected officials] to kind of am plify the needs of Clovis…but also to make

sure that when we have issues coming down the lane, whether that is from Sacramento or with the County, having those relationships and being able to reach out and really make sure that Clovis’ needs are heard throughout the process is something that I would bring to the table,” Pearce said.

Pistachio Party to Highlight this Friday’s Farmers Market

of straight-up pistachios. Wilson said that vendors will receive 10 pounds of pista chios to create their dishes.

Some people are quite familiar with the Pistachio Party, which will take place this upcoming Friday, for the uniqueness it brings to Old Town Clovis, but very few are aware of how critical this event is for the Central Valley.

“The heart of the valley is also the heart of pistachio country,” said Wesley Wilson, a communications member from American Pistachio Growers (APG). “It’s a great opportunity for us to highlight to the com munity that the healthy snacks you love are grown right here.”

“Most of the big chunk of the food we eat comes right from the valley. So the farmers market is such a great way for people to see that not just with pistachios, but with local produce with almonds with just about anything and everything you can think of,” Wilson said.

APG estimates that by the end of the event, close to 800 pounds of pistachios will have been distributed to vendors, patrons and the Institute of Technology cu linary academy – which is known for com ing up with some nutty creations.

In the past, it has handed out pista chio-inspired treats such as pistachio pesto pasta, pistachio brittle, pistachio meringue and of course the ever-popular sample bags

al style event.

The International Village was home to booths related to Hmong and Hawaiian cul tures among others as well as a stage in which enriching performances from several cultural backgrounds could be viewed. Drawn by the cultural performances on stage, the idea was to immerse Clovis patrons in the differences of backgrounds from different cultures that makeup the Central Valley as much as they do Clovis itself.

Sponsored by the Fresno/Clovis Con vention & Visitors Bureau, the International Village portion of ClovisFest was a great way to “Highlight the community and the cultures that make up our community,” according to Greg Newman, CEO of the Clovis Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce and Newman were delighted to see large crowds both days of ClovisFest, and stated that there was “per fect flying weather” for the Hot Air Balloon Fun Fly. “The pilots were thrilled, they love coming to Clovis for this event.”

Newman went on, talking about the overall atmosphere of the event. “Fantastic crowds from the start, you know, at 8 o’clock all the way to the end, all aspects of the event had great participation from the crowds….[Made in Clovis] was very creative, very enthusias tic.”

Made in Clovis went through its second year of utilization, as all new sorts of ideas flourished in the area set aside at ClovisFest used in order to reach a larger audience. Made

Some activities at the Pistachio Party will include 60 general vendors with farm ers selling produce and jewelers sharing their craft. In addition, there will be bounce houses, pony rides and a food truck alley. The event will take place from 5:30 to 9 p.m. September 30 at the Friday Night Farmers Market.

Frank Dalena, the owner of the Bring the Juice Podcast will be doing a live re cording of the podcast with Fresno State alumnus and professional boxer, Marc Castro.

“More people are attending this year than even last year,” Heather Frantzich, executive director of Business Organization of Old Town (B.O.O.T.) said.

“Our attendance has been really good this season. And you know, we just appre ciate local support shopping local. And we’re ecstatic to be able to have the Pista chio Party back again this year.”

A couple of weeks ago, it was decided to cancel the farmer’s market because of extreme heat. According to Frantzich, not only was it to keep patrons safe but also vendors and their products. That should not be an issue this year, as it will be a high of 94 degrees on Friday night.

in Clovis benefits those who feel they have an invention of some sort, or business that they are trying to get off the ground. Made in Clovis is hosted by both the Chamber of Commerce as well as the City of Clovis who, at the end of the pandemic, desired to try and help business owners have their dreams realized.

“Being able to showcase what they invent ed or what they made…they were very appre

ciative to be out there as well.”

Towards the end of the ClovisFest activities on Sunday, the crowds started to dwindle and the festivities started to age, yet there was still a sparkle in the sun and a gleam in the eye of those viewing the International Village or the few vendors still selling at the Made in Clovis section.

Even after ClovisFest’s audience began

to dissipate however, the memory of a fun weekend, balloon watching, vendor hopping, and an observance of the multiple heritages of Clovis remained, and the people who came to celebrate were satisfied. The first weekend of fall brought what seems to be good fortune to come, and the passing over of summer into an era of change and accomplishment.

Special Presentations Make Up Latest CUSD Board Meeting

CLOVIS HIGH THEATER ARTS PROGRAM PERFORMS IN FRONT OF SCHOOL BOARD

First, a special presentation was brought to the school board by new coordinator of Visual and Performing Arts Geoffrey “Jeff” Dean. The extraordinary exhibition, while short, was packed with theatrics and stunning visual demonstration springing from Clovis High School students.

The showcase of course was a performance by the cast members from the upcoming production “Tuck Everlasting”. Under the di rection of Megan Hamilton, the cast executed amazing choreography and vocals in front of a large board room during the school board meeting.

“It is a privilege and an honor to serve the district, staff, students, and teachers in this new role that I have,” began Dean before a short pause, “…and tonight you are going to have a great time.”

He then brought out the Clovis High cast by announcing them as needing a “Partner in Crime”, one of the musical numbers the cast performed for the crowd along with “Join the Parade”.

Performances of the play by the “Drama Den” will run from September 30th-October 1st and October 6th-8th at 7:30 P.M. with a matinee October 1st at 2 P.M.

“Tuck Everlasting” will be the first Visual and Performing Arts presentation of the 20222023 school year for Clovis Unified.

CUSD PLANT OPERATIONS HON ORED AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

The CUSD School Board then turned on a dime and honored another important factor to the Clovis Unified School District in their

Plant Operations Team. The Plant Opera tions Team consists of the maintenance crew in charge of grounds across Clovis Unified including all elementary, middle and high schools.

Denver Stairs brought out the Plant Opera tions Team to be honored and called them the district’s “championship team” when referring to the importance that the Plant Operations Team has on the school district.

Over 400 people collectively are a part of the Plant Operations Team, but only a few rep

resentatives were present at the school board meeting to be honored for their efforts. They then passed by the school board members and shook the hand of each in effort to honor their work.

Dr. Stephen Fogg remembered a time when he was in junior high and gave a real life example of how members of the Plant Operations Team can have a positive effect on students.

“I remember one time sitting and waiting for my mom [to pick me up from school], and

one of the custodians came up and kind of sat by me and just kind of talked to me for a little bit and I would remember he always would remember my name after that and he would say ‘Hi’ to me. And that made a difference to me….To this day, I’m sixty years old, I re member that from junior high.”

From the eyes of a now school board member, a memory such as this shows that everyone can have an impact on a child, and the future that they hold in their minds and in their hearts.

Business Spotlight: Facelogic Skincare Spa

The new owners of Facelogic skincare spa in Clovis are embracing the legacy of their business while providing customers with an affordable experience.

Facelogic specializes in natural and or ganic products, such as their highly popular Eminence strawberry rhubarb masque from Hungary. The business provides customers with membership programs that cater to their unique needs.

Susie and Sevag Tateosian bought Facelogic in July of 2022. They have since made strides to provide the type of personal service associated with the original owner Carolyn Pierce.

“Elegance mixed with luxury that any one could afford,” is how Sevag described Facelogic’s unique service.

Incorporating a business model that emphasizes customer service and building relationships over prioritizing revenue, Facelogic is putting a focus on using organic skin products.

Susie graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in chemistry from Fresno State and Sevag works for the Fresno County Health Department noticed during the pandemic the need for a business such as Facelogic that provided affordable skin care and products.

“I know that this kind of self care is im portant because there is so much going on in the world, whether it be politics, wars, sick ness, …to who knows what’s next, the hour that you’re here you’re just being pampered and our estheticians do an awesome job just making you feel and look beautiful,” Sevag said.

The Tateosian’s have brought a unique identity to Facelogic aesthetically and through customer service.

Susie said she found her passion working with clients to accomplish their goals.

“Being able to just keep up with custom ers and being able to understand each cus tomer’s unique situation. For example there are times when clients are going through hardships and we were able to stop pay ments and all that stuff until they were ready to come back and they do come back,” Su sie said.

Susie and Sevag have made sure to put customers before profit, and doing so they have crafted valuable relationships.

When customers schedule a session for a date or to spend a day with a significant other, Susie and Sevag relish the opportunity to provide a unique experience.

“If we know [it’s for a special occasion], the team will make sure to put together something special, because it goes back to our [business] model, we’re not just in it to generate revenue, we’re in it to create a

space where the average person can come in and get a facial and it’s luxury,” stated Sevag.

Receptionist, Linda Salas said she has seen the work the Tateosian’s have put into rebuilding Facelogic.

“I love the owners, they’re awesome. They seem to be really trying to bring this place up… I think it’s good that they’re get ting their stuff out there more,” Salas said.

To continue being involved with the community, the Tateosian’s hold raffle events along with monthly donations to non profits and it’s all due in part to their busi ness model that focuses on the community and customers instead of prioritizing profits, according to Sevag.

“It’s just the business model, for us this community has been good to us and our family. Both our families came here with nothing as immigrants and now we’re able to provide for our family and this is just an other way of giving back,” Sevag said.

Sevag said Facelogic has seen a 20% increase in clients with even more from walk-ins.

In response to the expanding clientele, Facelogic has rearranged their spa area to accommodate the privacy of clients with sectioned off individual seating, a spa area with dimmed lighting, relaxing music and a highly requested hydrafacial machine, ac cording to Sevag.

“[Adding services] is a wonderful thing, as customers come in and get the service they’re also asking for additional stuff and we’re incorporating it into our business model,” Sevag said.

The Tateosian’s have been faced with the question of how to expand services for a growing client base. Sevag describes the situation as one they are “happy” about.

“We’re happy with the growth because we know that the growth also means addi tional work for the estheticians and addi tional work for staff and going back to our business model, if we can provide a source

of income we’re all in if we can create jobs from it,” Sevag said.

Sevag commented that he and his wife Susie are blessed with support given to them and because of it they will be able to contin ue to support the community.

“We’ve been blessed with everything and so for us, support us and what we’re doing and what we’re going to do is continue to support the community and we are not going to raise prices and stuff like that. Just keep supporting us as you have and you’re going to feel great about yourself afterwards,” Sevag said.

Let’s Talk Clovis: The Kenneaster Family

Peg Bos Historian/Clovis Museum Contributed

Ed “Elmo” Kenneaster (1902-1998) was born in McAlester, Okla. The town was founded in 1838 and is the largest city of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The city was featured in the 1969 John Wayne movie “True Grit.”

Ed’s family moved to Wilcox, Ariz. and he attended grammar and high school there. Wilcox was founded in 1880 and is located in Cochise County.

Ed and his brother, Joe Strauss Kenneas ter, moved to Clovis in 1919.

Joe, who was born in 1897, purchased the small Clovis El Rey Theater that was lo cated at 623 Fifth Street. Ed ran the projec tor that was located in a small upstairs room. A small stage complimented the theatre that sported creaky wooden seats. Smoking was allowed, and its presence could be seen through the light from the projector. The floor was slanted, and often loose articles could be heard rolling down toward the stage. The building was torn down during the 1981-1984 redevelopment of Old Town.

Ed augmented his income by working part-time in a local packing house. He would meet his future wife, Mildred Naden, there. Mildred was born in Clovis in 1906. Her family were early day settlers. She graduated from Clovis High School in 1923. The statement under her attractive senior picture: “And form’d for all the witching arts of love.”

Soon after their 1927 marriage, Ed pur

chased the Clovis Steam Laundry, located 690 Front Street, now Clovis Avenue. The population of Clovis by 1930 was 1,310. The couple had two daughters: Marlene and Gail.

Ed’s business prospered since he offered a personalized home pickup and delivery. He sold the laundry in the mid-1940s and became a salesman for the Clovis Furniture store at the northwest corner of 4th & Clovis Avenue.

The popular 28-year-old Ed was elect ed to the Clovis City Council on April 14, 1930. F.A. Hill, who was elected to the Council on April 9, 1929, became mayor on February 4, 1931. Hill resigned on De cember 2, 1931. Ed served as mayor from December 2, 1931 to April 18, 1932.

The March 31, 1931, Clovis City Or dinance 125 fixed the salary for certain officials of the City of Clovis: the Chief of Police $90, which included water meter reader and license collector; night watchman $85, which included all duties assigned by the Chief of Police; and Superintendent of Streets $120 for services connected with water works and sewer system.

In the mid 1940s, Ed left Clovis Furni ture and founded the Kenneaster Exchange, which sold used furniture at 1170 Clovis Ave. Their home was just north of his busi ness.

Mildred and Ed sold their business in the early 1970s. They moved to the Woods Mo bile Home Park.

Ed served as clerk for the Clovis Ele mentary Union from 1942-1948. He was captain of civil defense during World War II (1941-1946). It was a non-military effort to prepare Americans for military attack. It was replaced by emergency management and

homeland security agencies.

Handsome Ed was also a “natural” mu sician. He couldn’t read a note but played by ear. He could play any instrument, his favorites being saxophone, accordion, piano and organ. He belonged to numerous local bands.

In 1995, Ed was inducted into the Clovis Hall of Fame. The event was sponsored by the Clovis Independent and the Clovis Dis

trict Chamber of Commerce.

Prior to his death in 1998, Ed would of ten remark to his daughter Gail Kenneaster Howard that even though the city had grown and changed enormously, he still felt the friendship, love, and closeness of a small town. He firmly believed that Clovis really is a way of life.

The Kenneaster family is an important part of our rich heritage.

Clovis PD gives tips to prevent catalytic converter theft

out your garage, and park your car in there.”

Catalytic Converter thefts have be come a common trend in the United States, and in Clovis it’s no different.

In 2021, there were 257 recorded thefts in Clovis. Through September of 2022, there have been 128 thefts reported, on par to match last year’s numbers accord ing to Clovis Police Department Public Information Officer Ty Wood.

It may not be the ideal thing to hear, but anyone with a car can be a victim of catalytic converter theft. According to Wood, the metals inside the part, which is located underneath the car, are worth a lot of money and the process to steal one can take just a couple of minutes.

“The reason this is such a popular crime is that it’s quick, easy and it pays out,” Wood said.

While the chances of being the victim of catalytic converter theft will always be around, the Clovis Police Department rec ommends the following tips to decrease the likelihood of becoming a victim: Park inside your garage

This might be one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from any auto crime.

“I would say nearly 100% of the cars that have a catalytic converter stolen are not parked in the garage,” Wood said. “Clean your stuff out that you’re never going to use, put it in storage, give it away, sell it, have a garage sale. Clean

If parking in a garage isn’t an option, Wood advises parking in well-lit areas.

Aftermarket devices

A catalytic converter cage is welded or mounted into the bottom of your car to protect your catalytic converter. This might be quite pricy, but it will be less expensive than getting a new catalytic converter for your car.

“If they see it, and it’s a deterrent, they’re gonna move on and go to the next easy target,” Wood said.

Spray paint and engrave

These methods will also serve as deterrents. Wood said spray painting a catalytic converter with heat resistant paint will make it less appealing to criminals because the value of the metal will drop.

Engraving the catalytic converter with a vin number or license plate num ber will not only serve as a deterrent but in some cases, it can become a way to identify a catalytic converter for its owner if it is ever recovered.

No matter how small a crime is, Wood said to be sure to report it in or der to help keep the community safe.

“We really need to know when someone has been the victim of a crime and don’t think a crime is too small to report it. Please pick up the phone, call us make that police report. So we know where to concentrate our efforts on.”

A wanted person was arrested fol lowing a pursuit this afternoon after he intentionally rammed an unmarked police vehicle.

Cha, who is also on probation, was wanted for felony child abuse and violat ing his probation.

He was located at his home this after noon by undercover Clovis Police offi cers. Officers attempted to arrest Cha at a gas station after leaving his home, how ever he sped away, intentionally ramming an unmarked police vehicle.

Officers pursued the suspect in his ve hicle and used a pursuit intervention tech nique (PIT maneuver) to stop the vehicle near Clovis/Jensen.

Cha continued to be combative with officers but was taken into custody. A handgun was also located in Cha’s vehi cle during a search following the pursuit.

Clovis North plays host to Fentanyl Town Hall

On Thursday, September 15th, a large crowd gathered to fill a lecture hall at Clovis North High School to discuss the problems faced with the drug Fentanyl and overdoses in general in the Central Valley.

The event, broadcast live on local televi sion and on Fox26 News’ social media, con sisted of a panel of Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp, Fresno County Sheriff-Elect John Zanoni, Fresno County Superintendent of Schools Jim Yovino, and spokesperson for Fresno County Department of Public Health Dr. John Zweifler.

These members from Fresno County gathered at Clovis High School to address the effects of Fentanyl and drug overdoses in general, a problem that Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama says is underfunded.

“Over 100,000 people die every year of accidental drug overdoses…but yet, we put all of our resources on murder right? Why not on drug overdoses, why not on educa tion? That’s what we’re trying to do here tonight.”

Flindt Anderson, Founder and President of the non-profit group Parents & Addicts In Need (PAIN), and self-proclaimed recover ing drug addict recognized, “[This problem] is not just set for our youth…Opioid use in general goes from twelve years old up to seventy-five and eighty years in age.”

“The one thing I do want to get across to parents today is that, most of the youth… they know what they’re taking, when they’re out on the street, when they’re buying it. They know they’re buying Fentanyl.”

Anderson then went on to explain that there are accidental overdoses, but stuck

to his affirmation that most overdoses are coming from those who make the choice to ingest a specific drug.

“I’m a recovering drug addict, we are go ing to take that drug no matter what is in it, no matter how potent it is, because we don’t wanna get what we call ‘dope sick’, so we are going to continue to take that medication

until either we get help at some point or un til there’s the possibility of us dying because of an overdose.”

A parent of an overdose victim, Pamela Smith spoke of mental health and when a parent should make a choice to help with their child.

“Everybody goes through trauma in their

life. And I think the young people, they’re very stressed out and they go through a lot of trauma. If they will not talk to you about it [parents] I think it’s imperative that you get them in for professional services, men tal health. If we don’t deal with our mental health issues, we are going to turn to drugs and alcohol.”

Tell Scammers to Skedaddle

Noble Credit Union @NobleCUFresno | Sponsor

Chances are you or someone you know has been approached by a scammer. Knowing what to look for and how to protect yourself may help save you time, money, and aggrava tion.

Identity Theft

Someone gets your personal information and runs up bills in your name. They might use your Social Security or Medicare number, your credit card, or your medical insurance — along with your good name.

How would you know? You could get bills for things you didn’t buy or services you didn’t get. Your bank account might have withdraw als you didn’t make. You might not get bills you expect. Or, you could check your credit re port and find accounts you never knew about.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Protect your information. Protect your personal information by shredding doc uments before you throw them out, by giving your Social Security number only when you must, and by using strong passwords online.

2. Read your monthly statements and check your credit. When you get your account statements and explanations of benefits, read them for accuracy. You should recognize what’s there. Once a year, get your credit re port for free from AnnualCreditReport.com or 1-877-322-8228. You’re entitled to one free report each year from each credit reporting company. If you see something you don’t rec ognize, you will be able to deal with it.

Charity Fraud

Someone contacts you asking for a do nation to their charity. It sounds like a group you’ve heard of, it seems real, and you want to help.

How can you tell what charity is legitimate and what’s a scam? Scammers want your mon

ey quickly. Charity scammers often pressure you to donate right away. They might ask for cash and might even offer to send a courier or ask you to wire money. Scammers often refuse to send you information about the charity, give you details, or tell you how the money will be used. They might even thank you for a pledge you don’t remember making.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Take your time. Tell callers to send you information by mail.

2. For requests you get in the mail, do your research. Is it a real group? What per centage of your donation goes to the charity? Is your donation tax-deductible? How do they want you to pay? Rule out anyone who asks you to send cash or wire money. Chances are, that’s a scam.

“You’ve won” Scams

You get a card, a call, or an email telling you that you won! Maybe it’s a trip or a prize,

a lottery or a sweepstakes. The person calling is so excited and can’t wait for you to get your winnings.

But here’s what happens next: they tell you there’s a fee, some taxes, or customs duties to pay. And then they ask for your credit card number or bank account information, or they ask you to wire money.

Either way, you lose money instead of winning it. You don’t ever get that big prize. Instead, you get more requests for money, and more promises that you won big.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Keep your money — and your infor mation — to yourself. Never share your finan cial information with someone who contacts you and claims to need it.

2. Never wire money to anyone who asks you to, especially when you did not initi ate the interaction.

Imposter Scams

You get a call or an email. It might seem to come from a government official. Maybe it seems to be from someone you know — your grandchild, a relative or a friend. Or maybe it’s from someone you feel like you know, but you haven’t met in person — say, a person you met online who you’ve been writing to.

Whatever the story, the request is the same: wire money to pay taxes or fees, or to help someone you care about. But is the person who you think it is? Is there an emergency or a prize? Judging by the complaints to the Fed eral Trade Commission (FTC), the answer is no. The person calling you is pretending to be someone else.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Stop. Check it out — before you wire money to anyone. Call the person, the government agency, or someone else you trust. Get the real story. Then decide what to do. No government agency will ever ask you to wire money.

2. Pass this information on to a friend. You may not have gotten one of these calls or emails, but the chances are you know someone who has.

13th Annual Walk like MADD held in Clovis

The 13th annual Walk Like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) drunk driving awareness fundraiser changed venues this year and was held in Clovis where it surpassed the fundraising goal of $27,500.

The 5K walk held on Saturday, Sept. 17 was organized by the Central Valley Division of MADD, an organization that was founded in 1980 by a mother whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver. The fundraising event is an effort to help raise both awareness and funds, according to the MADD website and Jeri Kuddes, a volunteer organizer at the event.

The donations raised through the fundraiser help specific causes such as victim services, according to Kuddes.

The event held in Clovis this year was a fundraiser mixed with an educational portion that helped bring awareness to the community about the seriousness of drunk driving and the damage it can cause.

Prior to the 5K walk, attendees had the opportunity to hear from individuals who had their lives changed from a drunk driving accident.

At the event following the symbolic release of doves, attendees had the opportunity to see a vehicle that was involved in a drunk driving accident. Attendees of all ages, from children to adults, had the opportunity to see the severe impact drunk driving can cause.

“[When] the kids come out and they see the crashed car that Fresno PD brings out with the story about the family that died in that particular car, it’s a great educational moment for the kids to see it in front of

them,” Kuddes said.

After being held in Fresno at Woodward Park and Fresno State, Kuddes said the organization wanted to try a new locale.

“People like the easiness of accessibility and free parking [of having the event in Clovis] because at Woodward Park you have

to pay for parking and an entrance fee when you’re driving,” Kuddes said.

The annual event was able to raise $31,500, surpassing the organization’s goal of $27,500, according to Kuddes.

“[I’m] so humbled to be apart of such a supportive and amazing group of individuals

and families,” Kuddes said

For those interested in volunteering or donating, you can reach out to Jeri Kuddes who is a volunteer organizer for the Central Valley Division of Mothers Against Drunk Driving via email at jerikuddes@yahoo.com for more information.
