Entre ellos se encontraban candidatos al Congreso, al Senado Estatal, a la Asamblea Estatal, al Supervisor del Condado de Madera y al alcalde de Chowchilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La moderadora del evento fue Christina Beckstead, directora ejecutiva del Madera County Farm Bureau. Para cada candidato, le dio la oportunidad de hacer una presentaci\u00f3n de dos minutos, responder a algunas preguntas preparadas, concedi\u00e9ndole dos minutos para responderlas, y de hacer una declaraci\u00f3n final de dos minutos. Se permit\u00eda una respuesta para cada pregunta durante un minuto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegla n\u00famero uno\u201d, dijo ella, \u201cnosotros todos tendremos que ser respetuosos esta noche\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El foco del foro fueron principalmente las preocupaciones de los agricultores, la industria agr\u00edcola y otros temas relacionados con la Central Valley de California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distrito 27 de la Asamblea Estatal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Murphy proviene del condado de Merced, donde creci\u00f3. Se convirti\u00f3 en alcalde de su ciudad natal y sirvi\u00f3 durante dos mandatos. En total, pas\u00f3 nueve a\u00f1os en el gobierno local. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCalifornia est\u00e1 en un punto de ruptura, y especialmente la industria agr\u00edcola. No es algo que tenga que decirte, porque ya lo sabes. Pero quiero que lo escuches de mi propia boca. Debemos hacer algo mejor. Esto es producto de un desequilibrio en la legislatura estatal. Tenemos un gobierno de un solo partido\u201d, dijo. \u201cEl actual mandatario no se postular\u00e1. Tengo un historial como alcalde de trabajar con el Farm Bureau local. Quiero ver que la agricultura prospere en conversaciones importantes\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brian Pacheco tambi\u00e9n se postula para el Distrito 27 de la Asamblea. Es el actual Supervisor del Condado de Fresno y ha servido durante tres mandatos consecutivos (12 a\u00f1os).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEstaba en camino para cumplir mi cuarto mandato cuando surgi\u00f3 esta oportunidad, y decid\u00ed dar un paso arriesgado y me presentar\u00e9 a la legislatura estatal. Soy un granjero y agricultor de cuarta generaci\u00f3n, y ninguno de nosotros es un verdadero granjero\u201d, dijo. \u201cMi familia est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed desde principios del siglo XIX, y seguir\u00e9 estando aqu\u00ed. Mi hijo, que es de quinta generaci\u00f3n, ahora est\u00e1 tomando el relevo en la granja familiar, como lo ha hecho mi padre para m\u00ed. El valle es diferente de San Francisco y Los \u00c1ngeles, y estoy aqu\u00ed para brindar esa voz fuerte a nuestra comunidad\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Los empleadores agr\u00edcolas de California est\u00e1n ahora obligados a pagar horas extras despu\u00e9s de las ocho horas del d\u00eda o las 40 horas de la semana, a pesar de que nuestra agricultura es altamente estacional y a menudo depende del clima y de los plazos de cosecha. \u00bfCree que las leyes laborales actuales de California ofrecen suficiente flexibilidad para la naturaleza estacional de la agricultura? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Murphy:<\/strong> \u201cAs\u00ed que perm\u00edtanme responder claramente: no. Las actuales leyes sobre horas extras para los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas no benefician a los agricultores ni a los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas. Lo sabemos. Tenemos productores que no pueden permitirse ello. Tambi\u00e9n tenemos trabajadores agr\u00edcolas que han expresado no solo a sus empleadores, sino tambi\u00e9n en declaraciones ante la legislatura estatal, que quieren un cambio porque les gustar\u00eda trabajar m\u00e1s y que prefieren el antiguo sistema.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pacheco:<\/strong> \u201cDe nuevo, como ganaderos de leche de cuarta generaci\u00f3n, operamos las 24 horas del d\u00eda, los siete d\u00edas de la semana, los 365 d\u00edas del a\u00f1o. Adem\u00e1s de nuestros ganaderos, tenemos tambi\u00e9n la explotaci\u00f3n agr\u00edcola. Nadie sabe mejor que yo de primera mano lo que eso implica y las normas sobre horas extras que nos afectan individualmente. Fue una intenci\u00f3n muy buena, pero no somos la ciudad. No tenemos una semana laboral de cinco d\u00edas ni un d\u00eda de trabajo de ocho horas ni una semana laboral de 40 horas. No vivimos as\u00ed. No sobrevivimos as\u00ed, y eso es especialmente cierto durante la temporada de cosecha m\u00e1s intensa. Esto ten\u00eda la intenci\u00f3n de ayudar a la gente, pero tuvo consecuencias no previstas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00bfApoyar\u00edais la exigencia de que las agencias estatales consideren el impacto econ\u00f3mico acumulativo de las regulaciones existentes antes de implementar requisitos adicionales en el sector agr\u00edcola? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pacheco:<\/strong> \u201cEs aqu\u00ed donde puedo aportar experiencias de la vida real a la legislaci\u00f3n estatal. Como productores de leche, tenemos los productos m\u00e1s perecederos de toda la cadena alimentaria, y somos la industria m\u00e1s regulada en todo esto. Tenemos la junta de agua, la junta de aire, el departamento de salud, el departamento laboral. Todo sigue llegando de manera acumulativa y esto es devastador. Tengo la mentalidad de que no hay m\u00e1s nuevas regulaciones a menos que quieras quitar una o demostrar c\u00f3mo eso mejorar\u00e1 lo que ya tenemos. No pueden seguir aprobando m\u00e1s leyes y m\u00e1s leyes con la mayor intenci\u00f3n posible, y sin embargo nos est\u00e1 aplastando a nosotros que vivimos y trabajamos esto todos los d\u00edas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Murphy:<\/strong> \u201cTenemos que tener en cuenta el coste acumulado. No se puede ver las cosas en forma aislada. Es muerte a mil veces la misma medida. No es que estemos regulados lo suficiente. Estamos regulados demasiado. No es que estemos impuestos lo suficiente. Es que estamos impuestos demasiado. As\u00ed que no se trata de si se a\u00f1ade una cosa, se puede quitar otra. Se trata de quitarlas. Y todos queremos aire limpio, todos queremos agua limpia, y vamos a proteger esas cosas. Pero se trata de devolver un poco de normalidad y un poco de cambio, \u00bfverdad? Si queremos cambio, entonces tenemos que hacer las cosas juntas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Como legislador, \u00bfc\u00f3mo determina usted el equilibrio adecuado entre los programas de financiaci\u00f3n que reducen las subvenciones agr\u00edcolas y la inversi\u00f3n en infraestructura que aumenta el suministro de agua, el almacenamiento, la conducci\u00f3n y la rellenaci\u00f3n de las aguas subterr\u00e1neas? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Murphy:<\/strong> \u201cTodos queremos aire limpio y queremos agua limpia, y podemos tener ambos. Podemos tener ambos, pero necesitamos m\u00e1s equilibrio cuando se trata de tomar decisiones. La realidad es que la Ley de Derecho Ambiental de California, CECLA, ha sido utilizada como arma contra todos los miembros de la comunidad que se ocupa de este tema. Se utiliza como arma en los litigios para impedir la realizaci\u00f3n de proyectos y impedir que las aprobaciones lleguen al proceso. Debemos liberar la econom\u00eda agr\u00edcola y la econom\u00eda empresarial. En general, la econom\u00eda empresarial se ve perjudicada en comparaci\u00f3n con otros estados. Pero si sumamos la econom\u00eda agr\u00edcola, que es parte de la comunidad empresarial y que tiene todas las regulaciones adicionales, la buena noticia es que podemos hacerlo mejor. Solo necesitamos hacer algunos cambios.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pacheco:<\/strong> \u201cHemos hecho lo suficiente. En el \u00e1mbito clim\u00e1tico, ahora es el momento de invertir en lo que m\u00e1s necesitamos. Todos sabemos que invirtieron miles de millones de d\u00f3lares en el ferrocarril. Si hubieran tomado solo una fracci\u00f3n de ese dinero, podr\u00edamos haber construido m\u00faltiples nuevas presas. Lo intentamos en Fresno como supervisor del condado. Nos reunimos con nuestros supervisores del condado local. Ten\u00edamos un plan. Lo presentamos cuando se aprob\u00f3 la ley. La factura de agua, la Propuesta 1, est\u00e1bamos listos para empezar. Y la junta de agua nos rechaz\u00f3 la construcci\u00f3n de una nueva presa o la ampliaci\u00f3n de una presa justo detr\u00e1s del lago Millerton. As\u00ed que si tengo la suerte de ser el miembro cuando esto ocurra, invertiremos todo lo que podamos para aumentar nuestros sistemas de transporte, para revisar de nuevo c\u00f3mo obtenemos m\u00e1s agua y c\u00f3mo la ponemos m\u00e1s bajo tierra. Ese es mi enfoque.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A medida que contin\u00fae la implementaci\u00f3n de la gesti\u00f3n del agua subterr\u00e1nea, las reducciones en la extracci\u00f3n de agua de las profundidades podr\u00edan llevar a que las tierras agr\u00edcolas se vean privadas de producci\u00f3n. \u00bfC\u00f3mo deber\u00eda abordar el estado las consecuencias econ\u00f3micas m\u00e1s amplias para los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas, las empresas agropecuarias, los gobiernos locales, las escuelas y las comunidades rurales cuando la producci\u00f3n agr\u00edcola disminuya?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pacheco:<\/strong> \u201cTengo la distinci\u00f3n de estar en dos juntas directivas de la GSA. Tengo conocimientos directos sobre este tema. Tengo experiencia en esto. Y en lo que respecta al agua superficial, todo estar\u00e1 bien. En lo que respecta al agua superficial, que es lo que representa gran parte del condado de Madera, existe una gran preocupaci\u00f3n. Lo que hemos hecho es pensar de forma innovadora, teniendo en cuenta que tenemos un acuerdo con el municipio de Way Up North que actualmente transporta mucha agua hacia el sur hasta Kern County. Les estamos ofreciendo una alternativa: en lugar de enviar todo ese agua de esa manera, vamos a parar en el condado de Fresno. Esto nos ahorrar\u00e1 una tremenda cantidad de dinero en costos de transporte. Ellos la depositar\u00e1n en nuestro acu\u00edfero subterr\u00e1neo. Como parte del acuerdo, obtendremos una parte de esa agua y eso ayudar\u00e1 a esos productores a salir adelante. Son los tipos de soluciones que necesitamos implementar en todo el estado de California.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Murphy:<\/strong> \u201cAs\u00ed que la cuesti\u00f3n de la sostenibilidad de las aguas subterr\u00e1neas es real y, desafortunadamente, es nuestra realidad y tenemos que centrarnos en obtener m\u00e1s suministro. No en el valor regulatorio, sino en obtener m\u00e1s suministro, reponerlo en el subsuelo y almacenarlo en el suelo, especialmente en los a\u00f1os de lluvias abundantes como el que estamos viviendo. No estamos simplemente dejando que esta agua se vaya al oc\u00e9ano; tenemos que captarla, tenemos que almacenarla para nuestro propio uso. Y la otra parte de tu pregunta se refer\u00eda a c\u00f3mo esto afecta a las escuelas, porque tambi\u00e9n eso genera ingresos. Creo que todos conocemos de distritos escolares peque\u00f1os donde hay falta de financiaci\u00f3n y es demasiado caro y demasiado dif\u00edcil de conseguir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supervisor del Condado de Madera, Distrito 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La presentaci\u00f3n entre el moderador, Beckstead, y el candidato al cargo de supervisor del condado de Madera, Distrito 5, Frank Bigelow, fue m\u00e1s bien una conversaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beckstead habl\u00f3 con Bigelow, quien ha servido al condado de Madera durante muchos a\u00f1os en la Asamblea Estatal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrank Bigelow se cas\u00f3 con la misma mujer durante 49 a\u00f1os\u201d, dijo Bigelow. \u201cTenemos tres hijos, siete nietas, todas princesas. Algunas de ellas quieren ser reinas. Mi familia lleg\u00f3 aqu\u00ed a mediados del siglo XIX. Esto no era el condado de Madera; era el condado de Fresno.\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMe present\u00e9 a la Asamblea Estatal porque un buen amigo m\u00edo me pidi\u00f3 que me presentara y la ayudara. Tal vez despu\u00e9s de un tiempo hubiera querido replantearme la decisi\u00f3n. Pero esa elecci\u00f3n, en el estado de California, fue la que m\u00e1s dinero se gast\u00f3 y fue una de las m\u00e1s sucias que se hayan disputado jam\u00e1s. Fue horrible. Hubo seis personas. La mayor\u00eda de las personas que asistieron a los debates no se lo pasaron bien. La situaci\u00f3n lleg\u00f3 a ser tan grave que hubo una noche fat\u00eddica. Ninguno de los candidatos se present\u00f3 excepto yo y el otro tipo\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al final de esa noche y de esa elecci\u00f3n, \u00e9l se convirti\u00f3 en el nuevo diputado. Fue elegido por el pueblo de manera debida. Se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 durante 10 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bigelow ha visto muchas dificultades entre los pol\u00edticos y momentos dif\u00edciles en Sacramento. Comparti\u00f3 historias sobre su tiempo en la Asamblea, mientras los asistentes al Foro de Candidatos disfrutaban de la conversaci\u00f3n entre Bigelow y Beckstead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cY para ser un poco honesto\u201d, dijo, \u201csiendo republicano, sigo siendo republicano, todo el mundo lo entiende.

Madera threw for 82 yards, and rushed for 146. Darius White led the Coyotes with 138 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Edison gained 340 yards of total offense. The Edison quarterback threw just three incomplete passes,and threw for 236 yards and three touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tigers also rushed for 194 yards, and three touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes opened the game on the right note. They went on a nine-play, 77-yard drive to get on the scoreboard first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three Anthony Estrada runs gained 19 yards. Smith carried twice for 10 yards. Elias Mena hit tight end Jayden Martinez twice for 29 yards to the Edison 24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mena found Lawrence Flores for 10 more yards. Estrada finished the drive off from 14 yards out by following the blocks of Martinez and Flores to the left side into the end zone. Carlos Ochoa gave the Coyotes a 7-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tigers struck quickly, They gained 36 yards on an out-and-up, and finished the drive with four runs for 40 yards, the final coming from 12 yards out to tie the game at seven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes got an initial first down from Smith, but Estrada was stuffed for a loss of two on fourth-and-one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edison took four plays to reach the end zone with a 30-yard pass for a 14-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a Madera punt, the Tigers went on an 11-play, 66-yard drive to find the end zone. The key play was a jet sweep pass for 13 yards on third-and-nine. On third-and-one from the five, Edison scored for a 21-7 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Madera punt led to another Edison score. On third-and-13, Edison completed a pass to the Madera 35. The receiver escaped two tacklers, and went the rest of the way for a 63-yard touchdown, and a 28-7 halftime lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes drove the ball to the Edison 10 after an 18-yard pass to Jayden Perez and an Edison penalty. But, Mena was picked off in the end zone to end the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edison opened the second half with a three-and-out. The Coyotes took just two plays to cut the Tigers\u2019 lead in half. Smith took the ball around the right side, and got blocks from Brian Qualls and Isaac Perez for a 61-yard touchdown run. Ochoa\u2019s kick cut the lead to 28-14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes recovered the ensuing onsides kick, but a penalty was called. Edison started its next drive at the 17, and drove 83-yards on 10 plays open a 35-14 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith returned the ensuing kick-off 35 yards to the Madera 43. Then, Smith got the hand-off, and gained six to the Edison 47. He was tackled, sort of. He fell on the Edison tackler, and never touched the ground. Smith kept his momentum going, and ran down the left sideline fro a 45-yard gain to the Edison eight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plays later, Mena hit the hole behind Martinez for a seven-yard touchdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edison answered four plays later after a 42-yard kick return with a 15-yard penalty added on. A pass interference penalty led to a four-yard touchdown run, and a 42-21 fourth quarter lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madera answered with a nine-play, 77-yard drive that only had one pass. Estrada carried twice for 14 yards. Mena hit Flores for 11, and a first down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mena, on a keeper, went behind Martinez and Brett Qualls for a 37-yard gain down the left sideline. Smith carried twice for 11 yards, and Estrada went for three more to the one.

But, in their four losses, the Stallions haven\u2019t scored more than 15 points, and 32 points total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diego Reyna Navarro led the Toros with 102 yard rushing, averaging 8.5 per carry. Also emerging as QB1 for the Stallions has been John Ledesma, who scored three rushing touchdowns and threw for another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresno got the ball first, and drove to the Madera South 32 before throwing incomplete on fourth-and-23. Fresno went nine plays on the drive, but a sack by A.J. Alvarez sent the Warriors in the wrong direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reyna Navarro gained 20 yards on the second play. Ledesma hit Jonathan Buendia on a quick pass over the middle for 11 yards. Then, Reyna Navarro went round the right side, and gained 18 yards behind the block of Lucas Amezquita on the edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ledesma had a wide-open walk-in touchdown from two yards out for a 7-0 lead. Michael Cuevas hit the extra point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keyed by a tackle for loss from Jeremiah Armenta, the Warriors had to punt. The punt snap was a slow lob to the punter. The rush from the Stallions forced the punter to bring the ball down, and Alvarez mad the tackle for a loss of 15, and set the Stallions up in good field position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reyna Navarro kept the option around the right side for a 34-yard gain, helped by a block from William Hernandez. Three plays later, Ledesma kept the ball on an option for a two-yard touchdown, and a 13-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alvarez forced a three-out-out with another tackle for loss. The Stallions went on their longest drive of the game, 10 plays, but had to punt. The punt went was short, but rolled 20 yards to the Fresno 10, which set up a Madera South score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plays later, Fresno mishandled the hand-off, and Adrian Flores came up with the recovery for the Stallions at the Fresno six. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On fourth-and-goal from the one, Reyna Navarro scored for a 20-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Warriors came back and, helped by two Stallions\u2019 15-yard penalties, scored on a 26-yard pass play to cut the lead to 20-7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuevas returned the ensuing kick-off 80 yards for a touchdown, but an illegal block penalty was called, and the Stallions ran out the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stallions used six straight running plays to open the second half with a score. Cuevas recovered a Fresno onsides kick try. Ledesma carried for six on third-and-six. George Roberts went around the left side behind the blocks of Reyna Navarro and Cuevas on the edge for a 22-yard gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ledesma went up the middle, and bounced to his left at the line of scrimmage, and went down the left sideline for a 16-yard touchdown run. Reyna Navarro ran in the two-point conversion for a 28-7 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresno was forced to punt, and the Stallions\u2019 rush forced the punter to try to run, and Charles Moore made the tackle for a three-yard loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madera South drew Fresno offsides on third down. Then, Reyna Navarro got the carry, and hit the pile for a four-yard gain. However, he kept driving, and got help from his teammates, for a 13-yard gain to the 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three plays later, Ledesma tried a pass on the right that was almost intercepted. The Fresno defender tipped the ball in the air, but intended receiver Adam Moreno caught the tip, and ran it into the end zone for the touchdown, and a 34-7 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Warriors got a 13-yard gain and a 19-yard gain to midfield. However, Ledesma caught a Fresno pass at the Stallions\u2019 40 for the interception, and returned it to the Fresno 20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two Roberts runs for 10 yards gave the Stallions a first-and-goal. On the next play, Adam Sandez got the call on the left side. He went behind the block of Buendia and Alvarez, who put a player on his back, and blocked two defenders at the same time, to score for a 41-7 lead after a Cuevas kick to end the game.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Madera South Stallions rebounded from its first two-game losing streak of the season to roll over the Fresno Warriors with a 41-7 victory at McLane Stadium.

Quarterback Adalynn Chavez rushed for 101 yards, including a 65-yard scamper, and led the Toros to 174 rushing yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chavez and Crystal Galicia combined for 200 yards throwing. Chavez accounted for six touchdowns, and Galicia scored the other. Amerie Lujan caught four passes for 74 yards, and a touchdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madera South was limited to just nine yards on the ground. Four different quarterbacks combined to throw for 71 yards on 15 completions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the first possession of the game, the Stallions went backwards, and punted from the one-yard line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toros took over just inside midfield. After a nine-yard run from Karina Contreras, Chavez found Lujan for a score. Lujan caught a pass down the field, and escaped a tackle at the 10 for the touchdown. Chavez found Isabella Perez in the back corner of the end zone for a 7-0 lead with 8:49 left in the first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a trade in possessions, the Stallions put together a nice drive. Maya Manzo hit Jaziyah McFarland for a 10-yard gain into Torres territory. On third-and-23, Manzo found Jayleen Gutierrez for 28 yards, and a first down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plays later, Manzo hit McFarland for a six-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left in the quarter. The point after conversion failed, and Torres led 7-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the second play of the second quarter, Chavez was chased out to her left from the pocket. She tucked the ball, and ran down the left sideline. Three Stallions had a chance for a flag pull, and missed. Chavez broke free for a 65-yard touchdown run, and a 13-6 lead just 44 seconds into the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plays later, Galicia picked off a Stallions\u2019 pass to set the Toros up. One the next play, Chavez found Lujan in the back of the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown. Chavez hit Lujan on the conversion for a 21-6 lead with 10 minutes left in the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the next play, Jazmine Garcia stepped in front of the intended Stallions receiver for an interception at the 15, and ran it into the end zone for the touchdown, for a 27-6 lead, just 32 seconds after the previous score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Torres defense forced a Stallions\u2019 punt, and Contreras returned it 26 yards into Stallions\u2019 territory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three plays later, Chavez lofted a ball to the end zone, and Contreras made an over-the-shoulder catch behind Stallions\u2019 defenders for the touchdown, and a 33-6 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plays later, Galicia picked off another Stallions\u2019 pass, and returned it to the five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the next play, Chavez found Cadence Mortier in the back of the end zone for the touchdown, and a 39-6 lead heading into the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both teams battled through in the second half. After an initial first down to open the second half, Chavez was picked off by Madera South\u2019s Natalia Gutierrez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McFarland scrambled for an initial first down for the Stallions. But, on the next play, McFarland was picked off. Her pass was deflected by her own receiver, and Torres\u2019 Alexa Rocha-Cervantes slid in for the interception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toros went on their longest drive of the game, 11 plays, but didn\u2019t come away with any points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emily Avila rushed for 14 yards, and a first down. Chavez hit Contreras for eight yards on fourth-and three, and found Contreras for a two-yard gain to give the Toros first-and-goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After three straight incompletions, Chavez tried a fourth down pass, but Madera South\u2019s Gutierrez broke up the pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toros forced a punt, but the Toros turned the ball over on downs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a Madera South punt, the Toros finally got on the second half scoreboard. Galicia found Contreras for 10 yards, and then found Lujan for 21 more on fourth-and-13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galicia hit Contreras for 10, then ran for 11, and hit Contreras for 10 more to the one.

En mi opini\u00f3n, el Consejo de Supervisores ha adoptado decisiones de gasto deficientes con los fondos de los contribuyentes y no deber\u00eda ser recompensado con m\u00e1s fondos fiscales sin restricciones. Las comunidades del este del condado de Madera han experimentado un declive y una negligencia visibles, a pesar del aumento del turismo, y el condado ha recaudado el impuesto de turismo durante d\u00e9cadas, lo que suma decenas de millones de d\u00f3lares. \u00a1La estaci\u00f3n de bomberos del condado de Bass Lake a\u00fan no tiene personal permanente, a pesar de su alto nivel de turismo! Las comunidades de monta\u00f1a no ven ning\u00fan beneficio visible del impuesto de turismo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e1s de $7,9 millones de los aproximadamente $8 millones de ingresos anuales de la zona de alojamiento temporal del condado provienen del condado de Madera Oriental, y los alquileres de corta duraci\u00f3n generan el 58 por ciento del total. Nuestros barrios zonificados para uso residencial se han convertido en zonas hoteleras, pero sin ning\u00fan cambio en la zonificaci\u00f3n. Al menos el 10 por ciento de las viviendas unifamiliares de Oakhurst son alquileres de corta duraci\u00f3n sin residentes permanentes. A medida que el condado se ha enfocado en el turismo y en aumentar los ingresos de la zona de alojamiento temporal, los alquileres a largo plazo se han vuelto escasos, los precios de las casas han aumentado, la matr\u00edcula escolar ha disminuido y los restaurantes y servicios han cerrado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbnb y VRBO remitir\u00e1n autom\u00e1ticamente el TOT al condado por las reservas legales y ilegales realizadas a trav\u00e9s de sus plataformas. Los RV privados y los remolques anunciados y reservados ilegalmente en patios, yurtas y cobertizos tambi\u00e9n generan TOT para el condado de Madera\u2026 cosas que no tienen licencias comerciales, inspecciones de seguridad ni seguro de responsabilidad civil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El condado ha otorgado a algunos propietarios de hoteles bonos equivalentes al 50 por ciento de sus pagos de TOT, mientras que los hoteles ubicados en barrios pagan el TOT completo. Adem\u00e1s, el condado se ha negado a auditar esta tasa, aunque reconoce que se recaudan ingresos ilegales por este concepto. Todos deber\u00edamos preocuparnos por c\u00f3mo nuestro condado gestiona esta tasa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La zonificaci\u00f3n residencial en el condado de Madera Oriental tiene como objetivo proteger los barrios, al igual que ocurre en otras partes del condado. En varios barrios hay pocos habitantes, ya que ahora est\u00e1n llenos de hoteles de alquiler nocturno con alta ocupaci\u00f3n, lo que aumenta el tr\u00e1fico y crea problemas de seguridad. Los barrios se encuentran en zonas de alta y muy alta peligrosidad por incendios, y se han registrado incendios en alojamientos tur\u00edsticos. Los hu\u00e9spedes tambi\u00e9n utilizan fogatas anunciadas durante el verano, mientras que ning\u00fan residente permanente est\u00e1 presente para vigilar la propiedad o responder r\u00e1pidamente cuando surgen problemas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aumentar el TOT con la medida U no tiene nada que ver con la seguridad y la medida U no es una tasa de seguridad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a1VOTE NO EN LA MEDIDA U!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 Kris Lile Hamilton,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>North Fork<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madera County\u2019s Board of Supervisors has consistently demonstrated a transparency and spending problem and has little trust from the public.

She has a Ph.D. from Stanford in molecular electronics, whatever that is, and she appears to have her sights set on taking over the project. But, fortunately for Dr. Crone, somebody has strangled and dismembered her. Naturally, when most of her body washes up next to a pier in San Diego, suspicion falls on Dr. Crone, a highly respected medical researcher who contacts Paul Madriani to represent him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madriani is the protagonist in many of Steve Martini\u2019s previous books, but in \u201cThe Jury\u201d (2001, 291 pages in hardback format), he and his partner Harry Hines are mysteriously in San Diego, not in their usual haunts in San Francisco. Why Madriani and Hines have moved south is never explained by the author. That\u2019s only one of things that seems to be left to the reader\u2019s imagination. The book\u2019s title is also confusing because there in very little written about the jury, although most of the novel is set in the courtroom. But, as is the custom in Martini\u2019s books, the deck is stacked against his client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a \u201cmountain of evidence\u201d against Crone, to cite the expression used by Marcia Clark in the O.J. Simpson trial. Forensic clues are found in Crone\u2019s garage. Moreover, Kalista had accused him of sexual harassment. And it is common knowledge that she has been angling for his job. Armed with this ammunition, veteran prosecutor Evan Tannery becomes convinced that Crone is guilty. His opinion is cemented and unchanged even when a key prosecution witness dies unexpectedly, leaving a self-incriminating note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the dogged determination of Tannery, Madriani knows that, to prove his client\u2019s innocence, he must uncover the real murderer. But his fact-finding efforts are blocked because of his client\u2019s refusal to talk about any aspect of his research or Kalista\u2019s role on his team. All that Madriani is allowed to know is that, if the research pans out, it could be a major breakthrough in medicine, and that would be worth billions of dollars. Of course, industrial espionage must not be allowed, and Crone seems to value that even more than avoiding a possible life sentence in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One reviewer wrote, \u201cSo much of the action in this courtroom thriller happens outside the jury\u2019s purview that it makes one wonder if there\u2019s a touch of irony intended in the title.\u201d I asked myself the same question. Another reviewer ended his comments with: \u201cThe outline for a much better novel is here: glamorous victim, well-connected defendant, bulldog prosecutor, resourceful defender, weighty issues. What a shame that everything that would make it memorable has been left blank, right down to the jury.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although I agree with both reviewers, I have to admit that I enjoyed the book. Martini\u2019s writing style keeps the reader glued to the pages, always wondering about what happens next. If I had to give stars, I\u2019d award this novel a three of a possible five, but that would not dissuade me from reading Martini\u2019s next book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Puede contactar a Jim Glynn en j_glynn@att.net.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful former African American model Kalista Jordan has joined Professor David Crone\u2019s research team at the university.

There he erected a small, single story frame building from which he conducted Madera\u2019s first shoe business. There must have been a living quarters in the rear of the building, because it was there that his son William was born in 1896.
