There are two tough decisions for today\u2019s high-school seniors: Should I go to college, and what should I choose for my major? Let me get my personal bias out of the way before tackling these questions. I don\u2019t think that college should be seen only as a stepping stone to a better job or a higher income.<\/p>\n\n

The reasons for attending college are many, sometimes evasive and complex. A college education gives one a sense of accomplishment, increased self-esteem, a broader understanding of the world, and \u2014 often \u2014 an improved range of choices for employment. But it is also true that a college education can result in financial rewards.<\/p>\n\n

Andrew Khouri, writing for the Los Angeles Times, points out, \u201cStudents who earn associated degrees, largely granted by California community colleges, earn $24,000 more than someone who only graduated from high school. Bachelor degree holders earn $35,000 more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Although many colleges are now gearing themselves toward employment opportunities, a college education should include an appreciation for the arts, literature, and philosophy. A college graduate, regardless of major or future employment, should be able to write clearly, with a fundamental knowledge of the English language. A college education should include an introduction to science, preferably a survey of a few specific subjects (biology, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and so forth). Without belaboring the point, I think that whatever one\u2019s major may be, a college degree should involve a well-rounded education. It should provide the pathway to life-long learning and at least an acquaintance with cultural literacy.<\/p>\n\n

The trades<\/h3>\n\n

There are many trades that may be entered without a college degree. Historically, these include skilled occupations that involve hands-on work. Entry into a trade career may require special training, apprenticeship, or certification from a two-year college. Typical jobs include maintenance and repair, carpentry, plumbing, painting, installing, and so forth. In some cases, people in the trades can earn more than some people in the professions.<\/p>\n\n

In California, in 2026, the income for a plumber ranged from $61,849 to $81,194, according to Salary.com. Carpenters in California did nearly as well as plumbers. They earned about $53,300 annually. For carpenters, especially, location was very important. In San Diego, Chula Vista, and Carlsbad (all in Southern California), they averaged $73,200. In San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Santa Clara (all in \u201cSilicon Valley\u201d), they have a median income of $80,190. But workers in San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont earned $89,200, according to tradecareerpath.com.<\/p>\n\n

The professions<\/h3>\n\n

The professions differ from trades in the nature of work, the training required, and the skills that are needed. A profession generally requires specialized education, formal training, and \u2014 often \u2014 licensing. Professions are described as \u201cknowledge-based,\u201d theoretical, and regulated by a code of ethics. Typical examples include physicians, lawyers, teachers, architects, engineers, software developers, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n

While professionals like physicians and lawyers may have much higher incomes than those who work in the trades, the people may have six-figure or even 7-figure student loans which will take many years to pay off. Other professionals, like teachers and social workers may earn less than many people in the trades. Regardless of the amount of income, professions require at least a four-year college degree.<\/p>\n\n

In California, an entry-level teacher with a four-year degree starts at a salary around $45,000. However, urban districts (like Los Angeles Unified and San Francisco Unified) offered higher salaries than did rural or smaller districts. Once employed, a teacher\u2019s future salary is dependent on four variables: Years of experience, educational level, district of employment, and subject area. For the past few decades, teacher salaries have been negotiated through collective bargaining agreements. During negotiating sessions, teachers are represented by a professional organization, like the California Teachers\u2019 Association or some other union-like collective.<\/p>\n\n

Teacher salaries increase according to \u201csteps\u201d on the salary contract. Each year of teaching represents one step, and the higher the steps, the higher the annual salary. Income is also affected by \u201clanes.\u201d There are different lanes on the salary schedule determined by level of education. The lanes may be for bachelor\u2019s degree, master\u2019s degree, specialist certification, or doctorate degree. So, two people may be on Step 7, but the one with a master\u2019s degree will earn more than a person with a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n\n

Salaries also differ by district because each district sets its salary schedule through the collective bargaining process. In general, urban and suburban districts near major metropolitan areas pay more than rural districts or districts that are well removed from a major population center.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, some districts now offer salary incentives, bonuses, or some other form of income supplement for people who teach subjects that are in high demand. Special education teachers almost always earn more because of the difficult nature of their jobs and the specialized education required of them. Many districts also offer higher salaries for educators in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and bilingual education.<\/p>\n\n

So, entry-level teachers will earn about $45,000 and average about $59,000 annually over their careers, with the potential to reach about $73,000 depending on experience, educational level, district, and subject area.<\/p>\n\n

A sure bet<\/h3>\n\n

Even if one is willing to go to college, AI makes it something of a gamble as to what major to select. But one sure bet is nursing. A two-year degree in nursing (known as an ADRN) will secure an annual starting salary of $56,180. And the average salary in California is $80,660, according to NursingProcess.org. However, those with a four-year degree, known as a BSRN, start at $64,480 and average $107,900 in 2026. And, like other professions, salaries are variable depending on circumstance. For example, school nurses earn $67,700, while home-health-care nurses pulled in $86,230, and nurses in state government owned hospitals got $108,260.<\/p>\n\n

I think it\u2019s important for graduating high-school students to be aware of the prospects that they have. And, I believe that the overriding element in making a choice is to pick a trade or profession that will bring happiness as well as financial security and a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n

Succulents are amazing low-water plants that are adapted to arid climates and ask very little of the gardener. They store water in their leaves, stems or roots and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. The word succulent is derived from the Latin word \u201csuccus\u201d (juice) and their stored water often gives these plants a swollen and fleshy appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are more than 10,000 species in the world comprised of more than 60 families and 300 genera. Some contribute colorful flowers, while others add striking foliage or sculptural forms. They can be planted in decorative pots, borders, or in the hard-to-water corners of the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succulents come from the arid regions of South Africa, Central and South America and right here in California. For a complete list of succulents that are native to California visit the www.Calscape.org website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succulents tolerate adverse conditions better than many other plant groups, making them popular and \u201cless fussy\u201d for busy gardeners. To thrive in Madera County\u2019s dry and Mediterranean climate, most succulents need the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Moderate temperatures of 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during their growing season. Bring indoors in winter for those in pots or provide protection for in ground frost sensitive succulents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Bright indirect light for at least 6 hours per day is best for most species. Many tolerate full sun, but not blazing heat, preferring exposure to morning or very late afternoon sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Good air circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Well-draining soil that\u2019s relatively low in organic matter. For this reason, it\u2019s often helpful to plant succulents on a slope or on top of mounded soil. To plant in pots, use a succulent potting mix that contains sand, perlite or pumice to prevent soggy roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Deep but intermittent watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings because succulents can rot if the soil remains wet for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succulents are easy to propagate by dividing root clumps, planting cuttings or simply removing a leaf and laying it in a shallow dish filled with potting soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common problems for succulents are caused by overwatering or incorrect sun exposure. Although they can have pest problems, pests are fewer than most other plants and may include ants, aphids, mealy bugs, powdery mildew, scale, snails\/slugs and spider mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Madera County Cattlemen\u2019s Association hosted its annual dinner at the Encore Event Center (1187 S. Granada Drive), and honored individuals who have supported the cattle industry.<\/p>\n\n

The dinner was held October 3, with hosted cocktails and a dinner.<\/p>\n\n

Cattlemen of the Year<\/h3>\n\n

Cecil Hillerman was born and raised in Coarsegold, the youngest son of Bill and Connie Hillerman.<\/p>\n\n

The Hillerman family traveled a long, circuitous journey to finally put down roots in Coarsegold.<\/p>\n\n

First, in Maryland in the early 1940\u2019s, Cecil\u2019s grandfather died at a young age with an untimely death on the Chesapeake Bay. This precipitated his brother, also Cecil Hillerman after whom Cecil is named, to come to Maryland, gather up his sister-in-law and children (the eldest was Bill at 11 years old), and return them to Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n

Throughout the years, the family moved to Long Beach and, finally, the ranch in Coarsegold.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil grew up alongside his brother, Chris, and other siblings on the original family ranch his parents purchased helping his father, Bill, learning, and loving ranch life.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil has loved cattle and horses from the beginning. Just after graduating from eighth grade, his father sent him with a suitcase and saddle to Oklahoma to spend his summer with his great uncle, Cecil, so he could learn to properly ride cutting horses.<\/p>\n\n

It wasn\u2019t long before Cecil was training, and showing cutting horses after spending all his high school summers in Oklahoma. He continued to show cutting horses into his early 20s. At the peak of his participation in the cutting horse showings, he was ranked 10th in his age division across the county.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil begged his father and great uncle to allow him to bring his horse to California, and prevailed; therefore, repeating the same journey his grandmother and father had made years prior.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil also served as the operations manager for the National Reining Cow Horse Association and Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association for several years.<\/p>\n\n

At 16 years old, Cecil bought his first set of cows, and in 1989 formed Son\u2019s and Hillerman Cattle Company with his father, Bill, and brother, Chris. Ever the energetic person, Cecil applied, and became employed by the Madera County Road Department.<\/p>\n\n

During this time period, they purchased the ranch south of Coarsegold and, together, Cecil and Chris built the pipe corrals on a cement foundation after hours and on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil continued to work for the Madera County Road Department with a very good career for 25 years while managing the family ranch business.<\/p>\n\n

Cecil married Kristin Anderson from Redding in 1993. Two years later, Cecil built their home with the help of Chris and Bill and again, after work hours with the Road Department and on the weekends. Cecil and Kristin started their family on the ranch, raising their two sons, Reid and Riley, in the family ranch tradition.<\/p>\n\n

Reid and Riley are now partners with Bill and Cecil in the family cattle business, which has grown from an initial purchase by a young person to supporting the Hillerman family.<\/p>\n\n

Chris was born to Bill and Connie Hillerman in 1961. Chris\u2019s ranching started at an early age. He bought his first cows in 1976 when he was 15 years old.<\/p>\n\n

He decided he was tired of just helping his dad raise his cattle, so Bill took Chris down to the Production Credit Association, and Chris got a line of credit for $10,000. They went to the sale barn and bought 25 head of cows.<\/p>\n\n

Chris took care of the cows for a year, then took them to the sale. After Chris paid off his loan, he was left with a whopping $125. He was pretty proud until Bill reminded him that he still hadn\u2019t paid for his feed, fuel, and other associated expenses. Chris didn\u2019t know how he was going to pay all that debt off, so Bill told him that he could just work it off\u2026 for the next couple of years.<\/p>\n\n

After high school, Chris continued his education at Fresno City College where he studied automotive mechanics. Following in the footsteps of his father and 11 other family members, he then became an ironworker.<\/p>\n\n

Chris married his high school sweetheart Jamie McKee in 1984. They had two daughters, Lacie, who was born in 1986, and Ellie, who was born in 1989. Chris and Jamie bought a small herd of cattle and continued ranching. His ironworking career spanned the next 31 years, while he continued to raise cattle and ranch on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n

In 1989, Bill Hillerman and his sons, Chris and Cecil, bought the family ranch, expanded their operation and became Sons and Hillerman. Chris and Jamie built their home in 1991, and raised their daughters on the ranch.<\/p>\n\n

When the girls were young, they helped feed, check, and work cattle. Chris would put the truck in 4 low and told them to just steer in a big circle while he fed the cattle and please avoid the rocks. The girls learned how to count by counting cattle when feeding them.<\/p>\n\n

Chris\u2019s favorite thing to do was spend time working and playing with the girls on the ranch. He was very close with his brother Cecil\u2019s boys, Reid and Riley, and loved helping and watching them grow. He enjoyed working with his brother Cecil and father Bill. Ranching and working with his family was a blessing that Chris was very thankful for. Chris passed away in January 2013.<\/p>\n\n

Cowboy of the Year<\/h3>\n\n

Sparky Philp grew up in Raymond. His family were cattle ranchers. He has spent his entire life around cattle and horses.<\/p>\n\n

His father, Everett Philp, ran cattle during the summer on a 20 square mile summer permit bordering Yosemite.<\/p>\n\n

As a child, Sparky\u2019s summers were spent at their cow camp and he rode on all the cattle drives. The cows and calves were gathered and moved by cowboys (and girls) between their summer range, to their Ahwahnee ranch in the fall and spring, and then to their Raymond ranch for the winter.<\/p>\n\n

Sparky\u2019s dad was a past Cattleman of the Year and his brother, Al Philp, was a past Cowboy of the Year.<\/p>\n\n

In 1969, after his service in Vietnam, Sparky began a \u2018brief\u2019 rodeo career at the nightly rodeo in Cody, Wyoming. After three weeks, he was completely broke, and hitch-hiked back to Jackson Lake Lodge where his good friend, George Barnett, was working.<\/p>\n\n

There, he took a job at the horse stable for the summer, and met Simon, a horseshoer, that wanted to go to California. The following winter, Sparky worked for Jack Spillane at the Raymond Cattle Company, and practiced team roping with Simon at Ernie Harlow\u2019s arena.<\/p>\n\n

In May 1970, Sparky and Simon headed back to Jackson Hole to team rope and shoe horses.<\/p>\n\n

In July, he fell in love with a girl, Karen, working at the Cowboy Bar. The two married on Aug. 31,1970, and just celebrated their fifty-sixth anniversary. They have three children, Hayley, Eric, and Ryan, and seven grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n

Through the next 14 years, Sparky attended Merced College Horseshoeing Program, worked on several cattle and horse ranches in Madera County, drove for United Vintner\u2019s Trucking, and shod horses when he had the time.<\/p>\n\n

He began his full-time horseshoeing business when Karen became a Registered Nurse. He shod horses for thirty-six years (and now, still a few on the side!) covering many horse and cattle ranches throughout the San Joaquin Valley, veterinarians, and many pack stations on both sides of the Sierras. Sparky wants everyone to know that he has enjoyed and appreciated every minute of the journey.<\/p>\n\n

Friend of the Madera County Animal Industry<\/h3>\n\n

Anne Deniz grew up in the Madera Ranchos and he started riding horses at the age of five and by nine, she had her own.<\/p>\n\n

She became extremely active in 4-H, and raised and showed horses, rabbits, hogs, lambs, and eventually market steers her junior and senior years of high school.<\/p>\n\n

In the 1970s her grandfather, John Katuin, began working cattle on the side for his neighbor, Bob Smith and the Smith Ranch, and eventually ran his own herd on the Fenston Ranch from about 1976 until the early 90s.<\/p>\n\n

Her dad, Curt, showed steers in 4-H and FFA, as well as three registered Herefords until 1975, and ran his own load of feeders in the winter of 1976\/77.<\/p>\n\n

Growing up knowing that her dad and grandfather had ran cattle always made her a little sad that they hadn\u2019t stayed in the business.<\/p>\n\n

But, when Anne and her brother started to show steers, they used their dad\u2019s old home-made tack box, his Oster clippers, and leather show halter. Her steers were her favorite projects, and she wishes she had started raising them earlier.<\/p>\n\n

Anne attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, majoring in Ag Science and Ag Education. While at Cal Poly, she participated in the Beef Heifer Breaking Enterprise and the Swanton Pacific Stocker Enterprise.<\/p>\n\n

After graduating and earning her teaching credentials, Anne returned home to be a high school ag education teacher at Liberty High School. She taught all the sciences, animal science, vet science, and floral design, and at some point or another in her 12 years supervised every type of livestock project.<\/p>\n\n

When Anne left her teaching career, she knew that she still wanted to be involved in agriculture and ag advocacy.<\/p>\n\n

This led her into two new ventures, Grower Relations for Madera County Farm Bureau and Livestock Superintendent for the Madera District Fair. Both of these positions allow her to continue to be involved with all sectors of agriculture, including beef cattle.<\/p>\n\n

She has enjoyed \u201cfield trip days\u201d that have included helping load out beef cattle from a local ranch and assisting with the judging of beef carcasses post fair. She also brought back the Bred & Fed Market Beef contest at the Madera Fair, and is thankful for MCCA and MCFB\u2019s sponsorships.<\/p>\n\n

Anne looks forward to continuing to advocate for our local agriculture industry and can\u2019t wait to see her son Lincoln show his first bred and fed beef project in just a few years as he already enjoys watching his cow that his uncle gave raise a calf every year.<\/p>\n\n

MCCA scholarships<\/h3>\n\n

The Madera County Cattlemen\u2019s Association had some outstanding applicants for the 2026 scholarship program. They awarded a four-year scholarship for $2,000 per year, a Millie Meders Scholarship for $2,000, a $2,500 Mike Urruitia Scholarship and a trade school scholarship for $2,000. This year, a four-year Will Gill Scholarship for $2,000 a year was added to the program.<\/p>\n\n

The MCCA four-year scholarship was awarded to Victoria Herd from Madera South High School. She was active in her local 4-H chapter and FFA program. She enjoyed doing community service, volunteering at Madera Rescue Mission and the Madera Animal Shelter. She plans to attend Oklahoma State University and major in Animal Science.<\/p>\n\n

The Millie Meders Scholarship was awarded to Colie Tickel from Liberty High School. She was the FFA Chapter President, and attended many FFA events and conferences. Her experience in FFA and 4-H strengths her leadership skills, responsibility and the willingness to help others. She plans to attend a four-year university, and major in Agricultural Education.<\/p>\n\n

The Trade School Scholarship was awarded to Shyanne Cosca who will be attending Madera Community College where she will be studying technical careers and trade. Shyanne graduated from Minarets High School, and has been active in FFA and many community service activities.<\/p>\n\n

The Mike Urrutia Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Noah Linderholm from Minarets High School. He was active in his FFA chapter, and searched for way to give back to his community through service projects. Noah enjoyed working with local ranchers to help with branding seasons and cattle operations. He will be attending California State University of Fresno and majoring in Agriculture Business.<\/p>\n\n

The Will Gill four-year scholarship was awarded to Sophia Sisil from Liberty High School who has been very active in FFA holding offices all four years and being a part of many clubs on campus. In her time in FFA, Sophia has achieved many awards and recognitions. She will be attending Oklahoma State University and majoring in Agricultural Education.<\/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":"

Ronda Vaughn, L\u00edder de la Unidad de Seguridad del Distrito Escolar de Madera: \u201cEs todo una cuesti\u00f3n de relaciones. Cuando ves a alguien todos los d\u00edas, sabes cuando algo no va bien. Los estudiantes tardan un minuto en darse cuenta de que realmente te importan, pero cuando lo hacen, eso habla mucho para ellos. No cambiar\u00eda estos treinta y nueve a\u00f1os por nada, por nada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Catherine \u201cCat\u201d Williams, directora del Distrito Escolar Primario Conjunto de Bass Lake: \u201cLos estudiantes no pueden estar preparados para aprender hasta que sus necesidades b\u00e1sicas est\u00e9n satisfechas. Por eso trabajo con los profesores para permitirles tomar frecuentes descansos cerebrales, asegurarme de que los estudiantes hayan tenido la oportunidad de comer y animarlos a tomarse el tiempo necesario para regularizar su cuerpo, porque hay que ir despacio antes de poder ir r\u00e1pido.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Finalistas del Premio Profesor del A\u00f1o 2026<\/h3>\n\n

\u2022 Weston Borba, profesor, director deportivo, Distrito Escolar de la Escuela Secundaria de Chowchilla<\/p>\n\n

2026 Profesor del A\u00f1o<\/h3>\n\n

Sundae Ervin, Profesora, Escuela Primaria Ronald Reagan, Distrito Escolar de la Escuela Primaria Chowchilla: \u201cCuando los estudiantes entran a mi clase, se convierten en parte del Equipo Ervin. Una vez que forman parte del Equipo Ervin, siempre ser\u00e1n parte de la familia, porque los estudiantes no se preocupar\u00e1n por saber cu\u00e1nto sabes hasta que sepan cu\u00e1nto te importa. Ser parte de este equipo brinda a los estudiantes un espacio seguro para cometer errores y hacer preguntas. Porque cuando cometes un error, todos estamos aqu\u00ed para ayudarte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Tricia Protzman, superintendente de escuelas del condado de Madera, dijo: \u201cLos galardonados de este a\u00f1o comprenden que a veces la mayor diferencia que podemos lograr no se puede medir por una nota en un examen. Se mide por los estudiantes que saben que importan porque alguien se tom\u00f3 el tiempo para verlos, por la confianza que crece porque alguien los inspir\u00f3 y los crey\u00f3, y por las vidas que se transforman para siempre porque alguien realmente se preocup\u00f3 por ellos. Eso es lo que hace que los individuos que honramos esta noche sean tan especiales\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEs un honor para EECU patrocinar el prestigioso programa Madera County Excellence in Education Awards\u201d, dijo Elizabeth J. Dooley, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Educational Employees Credit Union. \u201cExpresamos nuestros sinceros felicitaciones a los nominados, finalistas y ganadores de este a\u00f1o, cuya dedicaci\u00f3n inquebrantable a la educaci\u00f3n marcar\u00e1 una diferencia duradera en las vidas de sus estudiantes. Su compromiso con la excelencia merece nuestro m\u00e1s profundo reconocimiento, y nos sentimos orgullosos de asociarnos con el superintendente de escuelas de Madera County en esta celebraci\u00f3n especial en su honor\u201d.<\/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":"

La mayor\u00eda de los suscriptores de The Madera Tribune viven en el condado de Madera. Algunos viven en otros condados, y algunos viven fuera de California. Creo que todos nuestros suscriptores tienen alg\u00fan tipo de conexi\u00f3n con Madera y que aman esta comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 estado vives? Ahora, no me estoy refiriendo a un estado de los Estados Unidos en el que usted resida. Estoy preguntando: \u00bfCu\u00e1l es su estado? \u00bfC\u00f3mo vive usted su vida y qu\u00e9 es lo que le importa? \u00bfEst\u00e1 usted bien? \u00bfEst\u00e1 usted solo? \u00bfEst\u00e1 usted enojado? \u00bfEst\u00e1 usted feliz?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debemos hacernos estas preguntas. En tiempos en que hay tanto enojo, disensi\u00f3n y necesidad, debemos darnos cuenta de que cada uno de nosotros tiene dones que podemos compartir con los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya sea un estado de \u00e1nimo o un estado de salud, hay algo que podemos compartir de manera genuina para mejorar la vida de otra persona o para que sientan que alguien se preocupa por ellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creo que estamos aqu\u00ed para ayudarnos unos a otros. Debemos amar a nuestros vecinos como a nosotros mismos, y levantarles la cabeza cuando caen, animar a los dem\u00e1s cuando necesitan iluminar sus corazones, y demostrar que siempre hay esperanza en las horas m\u00e1s oscuras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si est\u00e1s bien, ponte en contacto con alguien que no se encuentra bien. Reza por \u00e9l\/ella y dale \u00e1nimo. Haz algo para ayudarle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay muchas personas solitarias que necesitan saber que alguien se preocupa por ellas. Si te gusta hablar por tel\u00e9fono, haz una lista de personas a las que llamar y que creas que no tienen a nadie que les llame. Hay muchas personas que se sienten solas, incluso en nuestros propios barrios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todos se frustran o se enojan de vez en cuando, pero si te encuentras enoj\u00e1ndote con frecuencia, pregunta por qu\u00e9. \u00bfEs realmente tu personalidad ser enojado? \u00bfAyuda en verdad enfrascarte en cosas que realmente no importan? \u00a1Seguramente no hace nada bueno para tu salud! Encuentra algo en tu vida que disfrutes y comparte con los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La felicidad es un estado de \u00e1nimo, pero algunos parecen estar siempre felices. Es porque se centran en lo que los hace felices. No son tontos. Se deleitan en el amor y en cuidar de los dem\u00e1s. Comparten su amor y su felicidad puede contagiarse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amar a nuestros vecinos, estar bien y ser felices es algo que proviene del coraz\u00f3n. Es algo que se genera desde adentro y es una bendici\u00f3n de Dios. \u00c9l nos ense\u00f1\u00f3 a amar y si buscamos en Dios todas nuestras necesidades, \u00c9l tiene mucho para nosotros. La felicidad est\u00e1 entre las muchas bendiciones que tiene para nosotros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed que, comparte con los dem\u00e1s tu amor, tu fe y tu propia persona. S\u00e9 generoso en tu donaci\u00f3n. Ayuda a los dem\u00e1s en tiempos dif\u00edciles y ponte en contacto con aquellos que necesitan escuchar una voz de apoyo. All\u00ed encontrar\u00e1s felicidad, paz y salud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El estado en el que vives puede ser California, pero el estado en el que vives debe ser positivo, amoroso y preocupado por los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ceremonia de inauguraci\u00f3n de la cinta se realiz\u00f3 el lunes en el Almond Yard de Madera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El proyecto de mejora de las instalaciones de transporte p\u00fablico es un paso significativo hacia la implementaci\u00f3n del plan de implementaci\u00f3n de autobuses de cero emisiones aprobado por los supervisores del condado en junio de 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El plan describe la transici\u00f3n para trasladar la flota de transporte p\u00fablico de Madera County Connection a autobuses con emisiones cero al 100% para 2040, de acuerdo con los requisitos establecidos en la normativa de transporte limpio para la innovaci\u00f3n de la Comisi\u00f3n de Recursos A\u00e9reos de California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La nueva instalaci\u00f3n de transporte incluye la instalaci\u00f3n de ocho cargadores de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos y la infraestructura para a\u00f1adir otros ocho. Las estaciones de carga est\u00e1n cubiertas por techos solares que suman un total de 448 paneles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La instalaci\u00f3n incluye un lavav\u00edas de \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n para ayudar a mantener y limpiar de forma eficiente la flota y a prolongar su vida \u00fatil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El costo total del proyecto asciende a poco m\u00e1s de $4,5 millones y fue financiado por varios programas, entre ellos: el Fondo de Asistencia de Transporte Estatal, el Fondo de Transporte Local, el Programa de Operaciones de Transporte de Carbono y los fondos del Programa de Mejoramiento del Transporte de la Maternidad \u2018T\u2019 del Condado.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Nacha naci\u00f3 el 31 de julio de 1930 en Tempe, Arizona, hija de Luis y Rosa Gloria. Era la \u00fanica hija de su familia, pero siempre estuvo rodeada de sus t\u00edas, t\u00edos y muchos primos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La familia se mud\u00f3 de Arizona a California, donde conoci\u00f3 a su amor de la vida, Ra\u00fal Ybarra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se casaron en la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica de San Joaqu\u00edn el 14 de agosto de 1949. Trabaj\u00f3 muchos a\u00f1os en Madera Cleaners and Laundry y luego trabaj\u00f3 en Sure Save Market, donde muchos de sus clientes se convirtieron en grandes amigos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luego trabaj\u00f3 en el Distrito Escolar de Madera como auxiliar de ense\u00f1anza durante 35 a\u00f1os hasta su jubilaci\u00f3n. A ella le encantaba trabajar con los ni\u00f1os y le gustaba la camarader\u00eda de sus compa\u00f1eros de trabajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nacha amaba bailar, ella y Ra\u00fal siempre asist\u00edan a los \u201cDanzas de Amistad\u201d en Madera y muchos se sent\u00edan envidiosos de sus habilidades en la danza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella adoraba reunirse con sus primos, donde cantaban todas sus canciones favoritas. Tambi\u00e9n adoraba viajar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
