Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Cora Shipley of Clovis' 'Scoops, Soups, & More' has died, councilmember confirms (yourcentralvalley.com) — Clovis residents are mourning the death of longtime Old Town business leader Cora Shipley, former president of the Business Organization of Old Town and owner of Scoops, Soups, & More. Remembered by city leaders as an icon in Clovis, she championed Old Town's family-friendly atmosphere and loved seeing neighbors stroll, shop, and feel welcome along its streets.
2. Public Notices 9/28/2026 (thebusinessjournal.com) — Today's public notices include several Fresno County juvenile court hearings, probate filings, and civil summonses, plus trustee sale details that may affect local property owners. Clovis readers will also see official listings for the Fresno County Department of Social Services offices on West Ashlan in Clovis and a new fictitious business name filing for Enzo's Table Bakery on East Shepherd Avenue.
3. Student Assumed Risk of School-Hours Basketball Injuries (metnews.com) — A recent appellate decision involving Clovis Unified School District found that a 12-year-old student injured during a school-hours basketball PE class assumed the inherent risks of the sport. The court held that because he voluntarily enrolled in a basketball-only PE class, the district and teacher remained protected by the primary assumption-of-risk doctrine, potentially shaping how future sports-focused classes operate in Clovis schools.
4. Clovis man used Las Vegas casinos to launder money from fraud, DOJ says (yourcentralvalley.com) — A 45-year-old man formerly from Clovis has been sentenced in Fresno federal court for helping run a real estate fraud and money-laundering scheme that targeted Central Valley homebuyers. Prosecutors say he and accomplices used fake agents, shell companies, and Las Vegas casinos to steal buyers' funds, then hid and reinvested the money in properties for themselves.
