Madera Police Department officers responded to a call about an adult male who was acting erratically and destroying property in the 1400 block of East Kennedy Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, the call, Sunday at about noon, led the shooting death of the suspect after he was believed to be brandishing a firearm at officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe reporting party said she allowed the person to stay at her house for a couple of days,\u201d Madera Chief of Police, Gino Chiaramonte, said. \u201cHe locked himself in the restroom and was making weird noises. He had been acting strange for a few days. When the officers got there, the reporting party mentioned a possible gun. We decided to disengage, and not push forward and cause any action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect was breaking items in the house, and also started to flood the house from the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MPD officers cleared the house, and removed the family who was at the house out of harm\u2019s way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSometimes leaving people alone and giving them their space, they will calm down. We don\u2019t want to engage them, and make them more mad and create an unsafe environment,\u201d Chiaramonte said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, members of the family returned to the scene to try to talk the suspect out of the bathroom, and the suspect went to the garage area brandishing what looked to be a firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers tried to talk the suspect into lowering his weapon, but he kept pointing it at officers. Fearing for their safety, officers shot the suspect, and after immediate medical aid, the suspect died. Officers were behind barricade from about 25 yards out and none of the MPD officers were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know if he was having a mental health crisis or substance abuse present. Sometimes, it\u2019s co-occurring. It creates problems,\u201d Chiaramonte said. \u201cThis is what our law enforcement is faced with daily. Does the person on the other side, in the moment, have access to a weapon, and are they presenting that to the officers? When they do, it can result in officer-involved shooting or deadly force. I don\u2019t ask the officers to sit and wait when they are presented with a gun in front of them to decide if the gun is fake or real. That\u2019s the real-life decision, in the moment, they have to make. The officers believed it to be real, and utilized deadly force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiaramonte said that the gun may be an airsoft pistol, but it looked real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I was to show any member of the public, from any distance, they would not know that gun wasn\u2019t real or fake. I looked at the gun, and thought it was real,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiaramonte also said that he believes that family did not do anything to incite the incident. However, the suspect was staying in a room at the home, and paying rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe family thought he was high on drugs. For us, mental health crisis are real, or it could be a combination of both,\u201d he said. \u201cThis happens often in our community. With inflation and the cost of housing, we have multiple families or have a family trying to make payments, and need some help. They move someone in they truly don\u2019t know. We see this often. There were young teen individuals in the house that witnessed this incident. That\u2019s who it affects most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madera County Sheriff\u2019s Office was called in to handle the property\/crime damage done to the property. MPD will conduct its own administrative review of the situation. The officer-involved shooting investigation will be conducted by the Department of Justice, who will provide a third party fact finding to the situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Throughout the years of its infancy, the Matilda Torres Toros football program has always had that bell-cow running back. A back they can give the ball to and know he will give them what they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, it was Joseph Bass leading the Toros to a Central Section title. His understudy, Amani Sua, followed. Then, it was Angelo Adame, who set a school record with 324 yards rushing in his final game. This year, the mantle is passed to Caden Warden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All Warden did was rush for a school second-best 286 yards on 20 carries to go with four touchdowns in Friday\u2019s 35-14 victory over the Sanger West Hornets at Toro Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The junior has 11 touchdowns through five games, and more than 650 yards with five games left to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He scored four touchdowns that averaged 39 yards in length. Of his 286 yards, 54 percent (155) went for touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toros out gained Sanger West 382-332 with 318 yards rushing. Nathaniel Pichardo threw a touchdown pass, and 64 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Torres\u2019 defense allowed pass completions, but not many yards after the catch. Sanger West was 18-of-24 passing for just 120 yards, about six yards per catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanger West opened the game by driving down the field, and getting into Torres territory. However, the Toros forced a fumble, and Darryn Garcia recovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two plays later, Warden went up the middle, and broke to the right down the sideline. He followed the downfield block of Zachariah Granados for a 43-yard gain to the Hornets\u2019 26. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three plays later, Pichardo connected with Garcia for a 24-yard touchdown on third down for a 7-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the Hornets got an initial first down, they were forced to punt at midfield. A sack and two plays for losses forced a Torres punt, but the Hornets went three-and-out to open the second quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warden got the next carry, and went through two tacklers at the line of scrimmage, and bowled over another defender for a 19-yard gain. Warden got the call, again, and went right up the middle for a 45-yard untouched touchdown and a 14-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Sanger West scored on the next play with a 65-yard touchdown run over the left side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, it took the Toros just three plays, all from Warden to answer. After two runs for nine yards, Warden went off right tackle, through a big hole, and scored from 48 yards out, untouched, for a 21-7 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Torres defense forced a turnover on downs, and the Toros took over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two Pichardo completions to Garcia gained 24 yards to the 25-yard line. Two plays later, Warden gook the hand-off through a big hole. He went behind a Lafayette Webster IV block and a Joseph Razo pancake block to go untouched into the end zone for a 28-6 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teams exchanged possessions to end the first half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toros had an initial first down to open the second half, but had to punt on fourth-and-25. Sanger West returned the punt for a 13-yard net punt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hornets drove 68 yards on eight plays for a nine-yard touchdown to cut the Torres lead to 28-12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Torres went to Warden for seven straight runs, including a 28-yard run to the Hornets\u2019 10. However, a penalty moved the ball back after Warden scored. Pichardo found Joseph Pasillas for 11 yards to the four, but threw incomplete on fourth down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hornets opened the fourth quarter with a first down pass, and converted another first down. However, they threw incomplete to turn the ball over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two plays later, Warden put the nail in the coffin with a run up the middle. He bounced it to the left for a 36-yard touchdown run for a 35-12 fourth quarter lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanger West went on a 13-play, 77-yard drive that ended on the Torres three after an incomplete pass on fourth-and-goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angel De La Sancha got the Toros out of its own end zone with a 29-yard run, and Pichardo took a knee to end the game with a victory.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In a highly-anticipated match-up, the Madera South Stallions had trouble holding onto the ball while the Hoover Patriots scored 54 first half points to put a damper on Homecoming night festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots scored 40 points in the second quarter, and was aided by a scoop-and-score (fumble recovery for a touchdown) and a pick-6 (interception return for a touchdown) Friday night. Madera South had five turnovers in the first 16 minutes of the game, and six overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were some bright spots for the Stallions. They forced a fumble on Hoover\u2019s first drive of the second half, and turned that into points. The Stallions scored a touchdown on the final play of the running-clock second half for a 54-14 final at Stallion Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoover managed 298 yards of total offense, but three of their six touchdown drives began inside Madera South\u2019s 31-yard line, and five of the six began inside the Hoover 45. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Madera South rushed for 161 yards, led by Diego Reyna-Navarro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first four Madera South possessions resulted in turnovers and six of their seven first half drives ended in turnovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoover had its longest sustained drive to open the game. They went 69 yards on nine plays while converting two first downs. On third down from the nine, Hoover scored on a quarterback keeper. The Patriots connected on a pass for the two-point conversion, and an 8-0 lead with 9:23 left in the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reyna-Navarro gained 14 yards on Madera South\u2019s first play of the game. However, the next snap went over his head, and Hoover recovered at the Stallions\u2019 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots scored on the next play on a run for two touchdowns within 29 seconds of each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Stallions then went on a long, time-consuming drive. It went 16 plays all the way into Hoover territory. Efren Cosio-Garcia gained eight to the 12 for a first down. Two plays later, Hoover picked off a pass, and returned it 55 yards to the Hoover 43. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots drove the final 43 yards on six plays, converting on fourth-and-13 from the 29 with a long pass to the five. The Hoover receiver shook off two Stallions at the five, and ran into the end zone for a 22-0 lead, after a two-point conversion, 40 seconds into the second quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madera South\u2019s next drive lasted just three plays with another fumble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoover scored on the next play with a 29-yard touchdown run, less than two minutes after its previous score. The conversion pass fell incomplete for a 28-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four plays into the next Stallion drive, Madera South fumbled, and this time Hoover picked it up, and ran it in for a 51-yard touchdown, and a 35-0 lead with 8:23 left in the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reyna-Navarro went for 14 yards to open the next Madera South drive. John Ledesma carried for 10, and a first down, but the Stallions were forced to punt after a personal foul penalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots completed a 16-yard pass to get inside the Stallions\u2019 30. Hoover finished the drive with a pass to the right, the receiver cut across the field, and scored inside the left pylon for the touchdown, and a 41-0 lead with five minutes left in the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ledesma gained 12 for an initial first down for the Stallions. Two plays later, Ledesma tried to throw on the run, but was picked off. Hoover returned the interception the other way for an 85-yard interception return, and a 48-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three plays into the next Stallions\u2019 drive, Madera South fumbled, and Hoover recovered. Seven plays later, the Patriots found the end zone on a quarterback scramble from 18 yards out for a 54-0 lead with 17.9 seconds left in the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the Stallions went three-and-out to open the second half, Madera South punter Orlando Flores sent the ball to the Hoover 15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the next play, with Reyna-Navarro holding up the ball carrier, Jesus Sepeda took the ball away from the running back, and took the ball to the one-yard line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reyna-Navarro scored on the next play for Madera South\u2019s first score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoover then took the ball into the fourth quarter with a 12-play, 44-yard drive that ended in a fourth-and-one stuff by Luis Deleon for no gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reyna-Navarro hit Ledesma for a 36-yard gain with time running down in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailie Deegan made her return to Madera Speedway for the first time since 2017, using a green-white-checkered finish to grab the Madera 150 for the ARCA Menards Series, West at the 53rd annual Mission Foods Harvest Classic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strongest ARCA West and Super Modified fields in decades at the one-third mile speedway played to one of its best crowds, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deegan, the 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model graduate, celebrated through tears in victory lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe we did it. I felt like last race (at Roseville), I was in the position and didn\u2019t capitalize on it enough. I told myself if we were in a position, I\u2019m going to do everything possible to win this race because we had the car to do it,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cI\u2019m tearing up right now. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve won a race. Everyone that has still believed in me, it\u2019s been super hard. To see everyone still supporting me these days, it doesn\u2019t go unseen. Thank you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trevor Huddleston won the pole, and jumped ahead of the pack at the start. Race action picked in the second half of the 150-lap race when Kern winner Mason Massey challenged for the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Massey made a three wide maneuver to take the top spot in lapped traffic on lap 78. Massey then collided with Ian Wood, sending Wood spinning into the turn one wall for a caution on lap 81 with Huddleston retaking the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madera\u2019s Robbie Kennealy and Eric Johnson, Jr. challenged Deegan for fourth on the ensuing restart.\u2019 Kenna Mitchell was relegated back to seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deegan made moves in traffic, driving around the outside of Mia Lovell to take third. A restart changed the complexion of the race. Deegan tagged the rear of her teammate, Massey, into turn one, sending him spinning and thrusting Deegan into second position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A caution flew on lap 142 for Josiah Reaume coming to a stop in turn two. Deegan was unable to complete a pass on Huddleston for the lead on the restart, however. Her race for the win looked over until a collision behind them, when Lovell and Johnson collided in turn three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident set up an overtime, green-white-checkered finish. After leading the entire race, Huddleston tried to hold the lead from the top line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deegan stayed alongside of him into the final set of corners, and muscled her up way up the hill to accept the flag for her fourth career ARCA Menards Series, West win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huddleston finished second while Mitchell stormed back to finish third in the Central Coast Racing Ford. Kennealy finished fourth while Massey drove to a strong fifth place in a comeback drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An outstanding 16 Speed Tour Super Modifieds took on the Madera Speedway with 2025 series champion Bobby Dalton taming the high-speed 40-lap feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dalton started on the pole after the invert, but Darin Snider took the lead at the start. Dalton then used a restart to drive around the outside of Snider to take the lead on lap nine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snider and Tim Skoglund had a furious race for second throughout the event. The drivers in positions two through seven raced nearly nose to tail while Dalton accumulated a 5.9 second lead. The advantage was nullified for a caution when Jerry Kobza slowed to a stop in turn two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dalton went back to work in accumulating a sizable lead, driving to a 6.9 second cushion at the checkered flag. Snider fended off Skoglund for second while Frankie Volz Jr. finished fourth. Davey Hamilton rounded out the top-five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Austin Carter won the 30-lap season finale for the Quick Change Liquid Energy NCMA Sprint Cars while Tony Hunt used a second place drive to win the 2026 championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hunt drove around the outside of championship rival Shauna Hogg on lap 13 to clinch the title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carter used an outside pass of his own to take the race lead from Eric Humphries on lap 15. Hunt clawed towards Humphries and overhauled him on the final lap. Carter claimed victory over Hunt, Humphries, Davey Hamilton, and Hogg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cole Brown won the INEX Legends 30-lap feature. Patrick Geiger recovered from an earlier spin to finish second while Chowchilla\u2019s Kenzie Brown ran third in her Madera debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He strongly opposes foreign military intervention and frequently warns about federal debt. Those concerns led him to criticize Trump-backed Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers while describing Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed\u2019s campaign as \u201cliterally Trumpian.\u201d Carlson also said he would not vote for Rogers \u201cat gunpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlson\u2019s objections to war and government surveillance deserve consideration. But voters should examine the complete record \u2014 border enforcement, spending, energy, manufacturing, healthcare and national security \u2014 rather than allowing two subjects to determine every conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The debt problem is real. The Government Accountability Office reported that publicly held federal debt reached $31.3 trillion in April 2026. Federal interest spending exceeded national-defense spending during fiscal year 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the problem in plain English: Washington is again spending far more than it collects. Every year\u2019s shortfall must be borrowed and added to the national debt. America must first eliminate that yearly deficit and produce a surplus before it can begin paying down the debt itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My previously discussed figure of approximately $1.3 trillion in annual debt reduction was a hypothetical target \u2014 not an official government forecast. It assumed that border enforcement, domestic energy, deregulation, tariffs, reshoreing and substantial spending reductions would work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congress cannot be treated as a spectator. Presidents propose policies and administer existing laws, but Congress approves taxes, spending and permanent reforms. Senators who prevent legislation from receiving a vote share responsibility when its intended results cannot be achieved. Those who approve legislation must also accept responsibility for its actual costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immigration enforcement provides an example. The administration established a goal of one million deportations annually, supported by at least 3,000 ICE arrests per day. Arrests and completed deportations are different measurements, and current deportations average approximately 1,200 per day. Court proceedings, detention space, transportation and foreign-government cooperation affect that number. If Congress expects stronger enforcement, it must provide lawful authority and resources \u2014 and then demand measurable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Federal Medicaid financing supplies another example. Federal officials concluded that certain state financing arrangements generated additional federal money and freed state funds for programs such as California\u2019s healthcare coverage for undocumented residents. The federal government has acted to close that financing loophole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neither automatic support nor automatic rejection is responsible government. Congress should vote openly, publish credible cost estimates and measure results. Tucker Carlson\u2019s opposition to war and debt should not erase every other issue. Likewise, supporting Trump should not prevent Congress from scrutinizing the costs of his proposals. Americans deserve to know what succeeded, what failed and who was responsible \u2014 without throwing out an entire program over one disagreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, give representatives and senators six-year terms, limit them to two terms, and stagger their elections so one-third face the voters every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Rick Farinelli,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Madera<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vice President JD Vance recently warned voters not to \u201cthrow the baby out with the bathwater.\u201d That describes an important question facing Republicans who disagree with President Trump over war, debt or another individual policy: Should one disagreement cause them to reject his entire program?

I can usually foretell the inevitable twist, but not this time. Lisa Scottoline is a one-of-a-kind author, and \u201cAfter Anna\u201d (2018, 369 pages in paperback format) is arguably her best domestic novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The story is told from two POVs, Maggie\u2019s and her husband Noah\u2019s. For the most part, they alternate chapters, Maggie from wherever the plot is at the time, and Noah from the witness chair during a trial. He\u2019s being tried for first-degree murder, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, and his wife will not testify on his behalf. That\u2019s the first clue that all is not well in Maggie and Noah\u2019s household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maggie was married before Noah. She and her first husband Florian Desroches had a baby girl, Anna. Shortly thereafter, Maggie developed postpartum psychosis, and Florian hit the jackpot by selling his start-up for $20 million. When he files for divorce, the court grants dual legal custody of Anna to the parents, but physical custody to Florian because Maggie is an \u201cunfit\u201d mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maggie is now in a successful and happy second marriage, and she longs for a connection to the daughter she hasn\u2019t been able to contact for 17 years. Meanwhile, Florian has remarried, fathered two more children, and plunked Anna down in expensive boarding schools in Europe and America. During that time, Anna hasn\u2019t wanted anything to do with Maggie because of the stories that Florian has told her over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tragedy strikes. A plane that Florian is piloting in France crashes, killing him and his entire family, except for Anna, who is boarding at Congreve School in Maine. One day, Maggie receives a phone call from Anna, who is pleasant and receptive to meeting for lunch. Maggie is in seventh heaven. At the meeting, Anna reveals that her whole family has died and that she\u2019s been very unhappy at Congreve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maggie invites Anna to live with her, Noah, and Noah\u2019s son Caleb, who is struggling with apraxia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to pronounce words. Before the day is over, Anna is packed and transported to Maggie\u2019s home in Pennsylvania. Initially, Anna is delighted with Noah, a pediatric allergist; Caleb, whom she finds to be adorable; and, of course, her birth mother, who is now a well-adjusted wife, mother, and member of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, the reader wonders: Can this storybook situation last? Long-time Scottoline fans, like me, know the answer. With Ms. Scottoline at the keyboard, there\u2019s going to be so much more to the story that it will be nearly impossible to put the book down. She is truly a genius at metamorphosing reality from the perspectives of her characters. As various \u201ctruths\u201d are revealed to Maggie, she comes to question everything in her perfect world, including her ability to be a fit mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a fan of domestic mystery, don\u2019t miss this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puede contactar a Jim Glynn en j_glynn@att.net.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The twists, which come late in the book, surprised me, and I\u2019ve been reading murder mysteries for more than half a century.
