This week\u2019s Citizens Academy met at the John W. Wells Youth Center to learn about the city\u2019s Parks and Community Services Department, which oversees everything from park maintenance and recreation programs to senior services and major construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parks and Community Services Director Joseph Hebert gave an in-depth presentation detailing the department\u2019s responsibilities, improvements and challenges in maintaining the city\u2019s parks and public facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The department is responsible for 81 landscape maintenance districts throughout the city. The districts generate approximately $469,726 annually through fees paid by residents in those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not nearly enough for the 81 districts,\u201d Hebert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The department organizes different community events throughout the year, including the Jolly Trolley, Winter Wonderland, a fishing derby, golf tournaments and Halloween activities for families. It also provides youth programming, adult sports, aquatics and services for residents ages 55 and older through two senior centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The department partners with Madera Unified School District and the Fresno-Madera Area Agency on Aging to provide programs for different age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintaining the city\u2019s parks and landscaping is another major responsibility. The department includes an administrator who serves as director, and four coordinators who oversee areas such as sports, recreation, events, facilities and senior services. Its staff also includes a 14-member full-time park maintenance crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city maintains approximately 9,250 trees, with some tree-trimming work contracted to West Coast Arborists. The city spends approximately $200,000 annually on that contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other contractors and partners include Sierra Golf Management, Sugar Pine Smokehouse, Community Action Partnership of Madera County Inc., SVS and EMTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city\u2019s amenities include 14 parks, three community centers, a skate park, a community garden, a golf course, three outdoor basketball courts, horseshoe pits, three volleyball courts and the Fresno River Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are currently several projects underway or have recently been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Rotary Park, two new basketball courts are currently under construction. At Lions Town and Country Park, the city plans to use remaining funds from the trail improvements to redo the parking lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four additional parks are also in different stages of planning and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like to say this is the department that has fun, but this is really where the nuts and bolts in the seriousness happens,\u201d Hebert said.\u201cWe have to come up with money, figure out how we\u2019re gonna spend that money and actually have some kind of concept to move forward when we apply for grants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funding for these projects comes from several sources, including development impact fees, state grants, federal development funding and private donations. Hebert explained that development impact fees are one-time fees collected from new development and set aside for eligible construction and improvements, while grants allow the city to pursue projects that might otherwise be difficult to fund through its regular budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the projects discussed, the city received $832,000 through the state\u2019s Clean California program for beautification projects and secured $300,000 from Caltrans for cleanup efforts. The funding will support community cleanup days and upcoming dump days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water conservation is another priority for the parks department. The city has started to replace median landscaping with rock to reduce water.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Owners Paul and Tracy Spraetz were among over 12,000 applicants judged by their growth, innovative strategies, and commitment to their customers.

Ten businesses will be recognized for outstanding achievement across 10 categories of excellence and receive $2,000 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One standout company will be named CO-100 Top Business of 2026, and receive a $25,000 prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul and Tracy Spraetz\u2019s company was named to the Top 10 small business by the U.S. Chamber of commerce in the Growth Accelerator Category, announced last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resort Life Carts launched four years ago when Paul started fixing up golf carts in his garage and sold a few of them around his neighborhood. Today it\u2019s grown into a multi- million-dollar operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spraetzs love to sell fun in the form of golf carts. What started as six used golf carts has turned into a multi-million dollar company with two locations and 16 team members in less than four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their clients range from homeowners looking for a fun way to get around the neighborhood to Fresno State, Valley Children\u2019s Hospital and Central Unified School District, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supervisor Jordan Wamhoff says this is a very rare honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis achievement speaks volumes when a grassroots small business grows into a multi-million-dollar operation. It shows how we are committed to supporting those who choose to make investments into our community, helping them to thrive in the fast-growing county in the state.

Peeled or unpeeled, that crispy, juicy crunch is a joy for all ages.<\/p>\n\n Right now, there are many varieties to choose from. My favorites are the tart ones, both for cooking and eating fresh. Granny Smith, Braeburn, McIntosh, Pink Lady, Cosmic Crisp and others come to mind.<\/p>\n\n Another favorite apple variety is Honeycrisp, along with Fuji, and for salads, you can\u2019t go wrong with Red or Golden Delicious. We are lucky there are so many to choose from.<\/p>\n\n Take a look and see if any of the following recipes entice you to cook with apples. Stay safe and warm as we get closer to winter.<\/p>\n\n For streusel:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/4 cup (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Para la masa:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 taza de mantequilla sin sal, derretida<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 taza de az\u00facar<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 cucharadita de sal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n For apple filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced 1\/4-inch thickness (about 2 1\/2 cups)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 2 cucharadas de az\u00facar<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharadita de canela molida<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n For garnish:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Caramel sauce (for homemade, see following recipe)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Flaky sea salt, optional<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Preheat oven to 300. Line bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n 2. For streusel: In a medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place in refrigerator until step 6.<\/p>\n\n 3. In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and mix until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned around the edges. While the crust is baking, prepare filling.<\/p>\n\n 4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring until all of the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n 5. After you remove the crust from the oven, increase oven temperature to 350.<\/p>\n\n 6. Pour the apple filling on top of the warm crust and spread or press into an even layer. It will look like there are too many apple slices, so layer them tightly and press them down to fit. Sprinkle the cold streusel evenly on top.<\/p>\n\n 7. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown.<\/p>\n\n 8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n 9. Lift baked and cooled mixture out of the pan by gripping the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares. Drizzle caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.<\/p>\n\n 10. This dessert can be enjoyed warm, cold or at room temperature. Store, covered tightly. in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Makes 12 to 16 pieces.<\/p>\n\n 1 cup pure cane sugar (granulated)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into 6 pieces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharadita de sal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. In a medium heavy-duty stainless steel saucepan (do not use nonstick) over medium heat, cook the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-safe silicone spatula. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, liquid as you continue to stir. Depending on your stove, this process takes about 6 minutes.<\/p>\n\n 2. Stir the sugar constantly, especially around the bottom edges, and be careful to avoid burning.<\/p>\n\n 3. Once the sugar is completely melted, reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter. Be aware that the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added. (If you\u2019re nervous for splatter, wear kitchen gloves.) Cook and stir constantly until the butter melts and is well combined. If you notice the butter separating or if the sugar clumps up, remove the pan from heat and vigorously whisk to combine it again. Keep whisking until it comes back together, even if it takes 3 to 4 minutes. Return to heat when it is combined again.<\/p>\n\n 4. Very slowly and carefully, pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Since the heavy cream is colder than the hot caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble and steam when added. When all of the heavy cream has been added, stop stirring, increase the heat to medium, and let it boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pan as it boils. (If you\u2019d like to use a candy thermometer, the temperature should reach 220F.)<\/p>\n\n 5. Remove from heat and stir in the salt. The caramel will be a thin liquid at this point. Allow to slightly cool and thicken before using. Caramel thickens considerably as it cools.<\/p>\n\n 6. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Caramel solidifies in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove to desired consistency. Makes 1 cup.<\/p>\n\n 1 quart vegetable oil, for deep frying<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharada de az\u00facar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 2 cucharaditas de polvo para hornear<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cucharadita de sal<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2\/3 taza de leche<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 large eggs, beaten<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharada de aceite vegetal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 3 cups apples, peeled, cored and chopped<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture *See note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n *Note: A standard cinnamon-sugar mixture is 1 cup granulated white sugar and 1\/4 cup ground cinnamon. For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, increase to 1\/3 cup. (If using intense varieties like Saigon or Vietnamese cinnamon, scale back to 1\/2 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon so it does not turn bitter.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n\n 2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in milk, eggs and vegetable oil. Stir until well blended.<\/p>\n\n 3. Mix in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n\n 4. Working in small batches to prevent overcrowding, drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into preheated deep fryer and fry until golden all over, about 5 minutes. Check one to make sure the middle gets cooked.<\/p>\n\n 5. Use a slotted spoon or wire scoop to transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate.<\/p>\n\n 6. Toss warm fritters with cinnamon-sugar mixture in a bowl until well coated, or shake them in a paper bag. Makes about 24 servings.<\/p>\n\n 4 cups apples (such as McIntosh), peeled, cored and quartered<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup water<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 taza de az\u00facar<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cucharadita de jugo de lim\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 cucharadita de canela<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/8 de cucharadita de sal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1.

We can finally relax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is certainly buzz in the air, not only around the Casino, but around Madera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe want people to come in and realize we built it for them,\u201d Casino General Manager Mark Ward said. \u201cWe heard what they wanted in the marketplace. We know when they come in they are going to say, \u2018It\u2019s not only nice, but also comfortable and a place where I can be myself and have a good time.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there is still some litigation pending, Beihn says they are staying optimistic, but they are ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to come here. The team has done an outstanding job,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery project they have keeps getting better and better. We have the opportunity to have the best of the products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beihn he will be there on opening night, watching all of the guests enter the casinos, and knows all of the emotions will hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone has been waiting and anticipating,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s been so much work that there\u2019s been so much relief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Casino, built right off of State Route 99, is in the center of California, and will be a place for people to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is an excellent location. We expect a lot of traffic coming into this place,\u201d Beihn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When guests enter the Casino, they will notice a lot of things that have been influenced, and decided by the Mono Indian Tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA lot of the design and features come from our culture up in the mountains,\u201d Beihn said. \u201cOur tribal council and past tribal leaders have been involved in what they wanted to see in the casino.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beihn has been around the project since he was on the Council almost eight years ago. His father and family have also been on the Council, and were a part of the Casino project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is still a Phase 2, but when that will start is undetermined, according to Beihn. The second phase will include a parking garage and a hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of the 20-year wait to open the Casino, Ward said it gave them an opportunity to find out what guests wanted from a casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe had a few unexpected delays, but with that came some opportunities,\u201d Ward said. \u201cOne, it allowed us to spend more time in the market and talk to more potential guests about what the casino should offer. When we built the property, we were able to take all of that into mind, and design a facility that is guest-centric. Some of the architectural things are unique like the floor-to-ceiling glass walls on the north and south side of the buildings. You also see a lot of light colors. We put in a nice high limit area that wasn\u2019t even contemplated on the original design. A lot of that came as a result of having a little more time to work on it. When we open the doors, the guests will say, \u2018Wow, it really is worth the wait.\u2019 It really is a place we built for them. We\u2019re excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the largest casino floor in the market, North Fork Mono Casino will feature two full-service restaurants \u2014 Clubhouse 99 and Manzanita Steakhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have the casual lunch and dinner in the Clubhouse 99 restaurant,\u201d Ward said. \u201cWe like the idea of having a sports theme in there. It\u2019s also a place to get a quick bite, but have a large variety of hand-held food, and casual dining. There are 56 big-screen TVs in there. It will be a great game day destination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manzanita is the Casino\u2019s flagship restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s open every night for dinner,\u201d Ward said. \u201cIt is the nicest restaurant in the Central Valley. Our guests will tell us that next week. We really wanted to have something that raised the bar. I think we accomplished that in a great way with Manzanita. It\u2019s great product, great service and it\u2019s very unique in the Central Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In getting ready for Wednesday\u2019s opening night, the team has been training since June. The card dealers will have between 16-20 weeks of training when opening day hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe did extensive training for everybody,\u201d Ward said. \u201cEveryone that comes on, regardless of position, goes through a minimum of three weeks of training. In order for us to be really exceptional, the team has to know how to do the job. Our job is to show them how to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n North Fork Mono Casino features 2,400 slot machines, 40 table games and four bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have the advantage of being the largest casino in the market,\u201d Ward said. \u201cWe have a large variety of games. We have the best food products. We have eight restaurants, including the food court options. We have a great location. The newest location is built for the market. A lot of things are leaning our way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ward has been a part of the Mono Indian Tribe for the past six years when the tribe was going through the initial processes to put a shovel in the ground. He brings more than 25 years of experience of managing tribal casinos in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like everyone else at the North Fork Mono Casino, Ward is ready for opening night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are very excited to be here. It\u2019s been a very long journey for the tribe,\u201d Ward said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long journey for everyone who\u2019s been involved in the project, myself included. Now as we are getting ready to open, everyone is just electrified and enthusiastic about what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone seems to be so happy and can\u2019t wait to get into the door,\u201d Beihn said. \u201cI hear there\u2019s going to be a long line.
