Hope you are enjoying the transition from summer to fall.<\/p>\n\n 4 1\/2 cups shredded carrots<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 can (8-oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained, optional<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 3\/4 to 1 cup raisins<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup sugar, or to taste<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 taza de mayonesa<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 1\/2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1.

Precalienta el horno a 175 \u00b0C. Engrasa y enharina un molde para pasteles con tubo o un molde Bundt.<\/p>\n\n 2. En un taz\u00f3n para mezclar, bate la mantequilla y el az\u00facar a velocidad media. Incorpora los huevos, uno a la vez, batiendo bien despu\u00e9s de cada adici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n 3. Calienta la compota de manzana hasta que est\u00e9 muy caliente, luego incorpora el bicarbonato de sodio a la compota de manzana. Agrega esta mezcla a la mezcla de mantequilla\/az\u00facar batidas.<\/p>\n\n 4. Agrega la harina y la sal, y mezcla bien. A\u00f1ade las pasas y m\u00e9zclalas. Vierte en el molde preparado y hornea de 50 a 60 minutos o hasta que al insertar un palillo \u00e9ste salga limpio.<\/p>\n\n 5. Retirar del horno y dejar reposar 10 minutos cubierto con un pa\u00f1o limpio. Volcar sobre un plato y dejar enfriar completamente antes de cortar.<\/p>\n\n 1 cup unsalted butter, softened<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 huevos grandes, a temperatura ambiente<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharada de extracto de vainilla<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1 tablespoon unsulphured or dark molasses<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 2\/3 cups all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharadita de bicarbonato de sodio<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 1\/2 teaspoons cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 cucharadita de sal<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 3 cups old-fashioned whole oats<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup raisins *see note<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup chopped, toasted walnuts (optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n *Note: Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before using (blot very well to dry them).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n 2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed. Dough will be thick, yet very sticky. Chill the dough for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator (do the full hour if you\u2019re afraid of the cookies spreading too much). If chilling for longer (up to 2 days), allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking.<\/p>\n\n 3. Preheat oven to 350. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n 4. Roll balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. You can use a cookie-dough scoop, since the dough can be sticky. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft and under-baked. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to set on the baking sheet during this time. Makes 26 to 30 cookies.<\/p>\n\n Adapted from the folks at Kellogg\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n 3 tablespoons butter<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 package (10-oz.) large marshmallows, or 4 cups mini marshmallows<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1 teaspoon chocolate flavoring<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 6 cups crisped rice cereal<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup chocolate-covered raisin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stirring constantly, ass marshmallows and cocoa powder. Melt until well blended. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate flavoring.<\/p>\n\n 2. Add the cereal, mixing well. After the cereal is well coated, sprinkle the raisins in and mix slightly.<\/p>\n\n 3. Using buttered hands (if cool enough to handle), spatula or buttered wax paper, press the mixture firmly into a 13-by-9-inch dish that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.<\/p>\n\n 4. Allow to cool and become firm, then cut into 2-inch squares (or your preferred size). Best if served the same day. Makes 12 servings, depending on how you decide to cut them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently was reminded that not everyone is able to enjoy eating raisins.

He also served as a Field Training Officer, helping train the next generation of deputies.<\/p>\n\n In 2006, Detective Padgett became the first Madera Sheriff Gang Investigator assigned to the MADGET team, working alongside local and state law enforcement partners.<\/p>\n\n Then came one of his best partners \u2014 DJ. In 2012, Detective Padgett and his four-legged partner completed Narcotics K-9 school, and worked side-by-side in patrol until DJ retired in 2016.<\/p>\n\n In 2016, Detective Padgett joined the Investigative Team, where he dedicated his time to reopening cold cases and using advancements in technology, science, and DNA to help bring families closer to answers and justice.<\/p>\n\n But beyond the awards, assignments, and accomplishments, Detective Padgett will also be remembered for his quick wit, smart remarks, and the ability always to have something to say. His coworkers will certainly miss the laughs and maybe even a few of those perfectly timed comments.<\/p>\n\n The good news for Luis? Retirement means no more learning new employee names. After nearly 30 years, just when he finally got everyone figured out, someone new gets hired.<\/p>\n\n After 26 years of dedicated service to the Madera Police Department and the City of Madera, Officer Wayson Juarez is officially beginning his next chapter.<\/p>\n\n Since joining the Department on Dec. 30, 2000, Officer Juarez served the community in many roles, including Patrol, Housing Authority, Community Outreach, Business Watch, Crime Prevention, and as a School Resource Officer.<\/p>\n\n But his service went far beyond the badge. Alongside his wife, Marie, he spent years giving back to the Madera community \u2014 helping feed those in need, organizing Christmas toy drives, and providing meals, toys, bicycles, clothing, and hope to more than 10,000 people.<\/p>\n\n Thank you for 26 years of protecting, serving, mentoring, and giving back. Thank you for being there for the people of Madera and for making a lasting difference in the lives of so many.<\/p>\n\n After 26 years of dedicated service to the City of Madera, Juan Puentes is officially retiring.<\/p>\n\n He began his career with the City in 2000, and spent more than two decades as a valued member of the Madera Police Department team.<\/p>\n\n He was responsible for the maintenance, care, and readiness of all police vehicles and equipment, helping keep the officers safely on the road and ready to serve the community.<\/p>\n\n But Puentes was much more than a skilled mechanic. He was extremely kind, always positive, and always willing to help. His dedication, dependability, and friendly personality made him someone his coworkers could always count on.<\/p>\n\n Juan leaves behind a legacy of hard work, service, and countless friendships. He will be greatly missed by everyone at the City of Madera and the Madera Police Department.<\/p>\n\n MPD also wants to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Juan\u2019s wife, Imelda, and their family. Their love and support have been an important part of Juan\u2019s journey and his many years of service to our community.<\/p>\n\n After 27 years of dedicated law enforcement service, Sergeant Amy Roussell is logging off for the final time.<\/p>\n\n Roussell began her career with the Los Angeles Police Department in 1999, serving in patrol, vice investigations, and bike patrol before joining the Madera County Sheriff\u2019s Office in 2006.<\/p>\n\n Throughout the past 20 years with Madera County, she has served as a Deputy Sheriff, Corporal, and Sergeant.<\/p>\n\n From the streets of Los Angeles to the mountains and waters of Madera County, Sgt. Roussell has dedicated her career to serving others, mentoring those who followed, and leading by example.<\/p>\n\n For anyone who has spent a summer in Bass Lake, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve seen Sgt. Roussell out on patrol. For 14 years, she helped keep Bass Lake safe during the busy summer months.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After nearly 30 years of service to the Madera County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the citizens of Madera County, Detective Luis Padgett is finally answering the call for retirement.

Adalynn Chavez came in relief of starting quarterback Crystal Galicia, and threw for 170 yards and ran for two touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n Galicia also threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. Galicia and Chavez combined for 227 yards passing.<\/p>\n\n Karina Contreras led the Toros with 74 yards from scrimmage.<\/p>\n\n Defensively, the Toros held the Tigers to 215 yards of offense, including 54yards rushing. Except for a 66-yard pass play, the Toros\u2019 pass defense allowed less than 100 yards.<\/p>\n\n The Toros could have made any attempt of a comeback moot, but couldn\u2019t convert on two chances late in the game.<\/p>\n\n After a Los Banos punt, the Toros went to work. Galicia scrambled for seven yards, and a first down inside Los Banos territory.<\/p>\n\n Galicia found Cadence Mortier down the middle of the field for 18 yards to the 16. Galicia hit Victoria Macugay for eight yards. Then, Galicia rolled to her right, and threw a jump pass to Contreras in the end zone for the touchdown, and a 6-0 lead with 4:11 left in the first.<\/p>\n\n Los Banos then drove 66 yards on 11 plays to tie the game. The Tigers converted a fourth-and-18 with a 25-yard pass to the Torres four. Torres was called for a roughing the passer penalty on third-and-goal. Three plays later, Los Banos tied the game with 10:28 left in the first half.<\/p>\n\n The Toros had to punt, and the Tigers took the lead. Los Banos got deep into Torres territory with a 38-yard gain to the nine. The Tigers completed a pass in the end zone for a 12-6 lead with five minutes left in the half.<\/p>\n\n The Toros marched down the field to score before the half. Chavez, on her first snap at quarterback, hit Isabella Perez for a 28-yard gain into Los Banos territory. Chavez found Mortier for 11 yards on fourth-and-10 to the 19. Three plays later, Chavez scrambled, and found running room to the left for a touchdown to tie the game at 12 at the half.<\/p>\n\n The Toros marched down the field to open the second half. Chavez hit Perez for 12 yards, and a first down. She found Geraldine Cantera-Dominguez for 14 yards, and another first down. Facing third-and-23, Chavez hit Amerie Lujan for 10 yards, and then found her again for 25 yards and a first-and-goal.<\/p>\n\n Two plays later, Chavez found the right corner on a scramble from a yard out for an 18-12 lead four minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n\n Contreras returned Los Banos\u2019 punt 31 yards into Los Banos territory. Chavez hit Macugay for 16 yards, and a first down. She hit Milagros Barajas-Romo for 10 to the nine.<\/p>\n\n With a little trickery, Chavez pitched to Galicia, who threw it back to Chavez for a nine-yard touchdown. Macugay caught a juggling ball in the end zone for the conversion, and a 26-12 lead with 3:45 left in the third.<\/p>\n\n However, Los Banos got behind the Torres defense, and caught a long pass, and finished it off for a 66-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead by six just nine seconds later.<\/p>\n\n A Contreras run of 14 yards gave the Toros a first down. Then, Chavez hit Barajas-Romo for 14 yards to the 21-yard line. However, the Chavez threw incomplete on third- and fourth-and-one to turn the ball over.<\/p>\n\n The Toros forced three straight incomplete passes for a punt.<\/p>\n\n The Toros drove 55-yards on eight-plays to inside the Los Banos 10. On second-and-17, Chavez found Macugay for nine yards. Contreras got a third down carry for 10 yards, and a first down.<\/p>\n\n Chavez hit Contreras for a 21-yard gain to the four. The Toros got down to the one, but threw incomplete on fourth down.<\/p>\n\n Pressure from Jasmin Garcia and Angie Fernandez forced a third down incompletion, and a punt.<\/p>\n\n Then, the two teams combined for eight straight plays from the Los Banos 30 yard line. Both teams went four-and-out before Contreras carried for six yards to the Los Banos 24.<\/p>\n\n Galicia took the shotgun snap, and rolled to her left. She was looking to pitch to Chavez on the outside, but found running room against the grain. Galicia cut back to the right, eluded three flag pulls, and found the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown.
