Esperamos que todo se acople. Hemos tenido El Ni\u00f1o con cero agua. El 2023 fue fant\u00e1stico y trajo casi 400 acres de agua. Ahora tenemos capacidad adicional. Si podemos hacer que los productores aumenten la cantidad de agua que almacenan cuando tengamos un a\u00f1o lluvioso y utilicen nuestros embalses, podr\u00edamos superar los 400 acres de agua\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEstamos a punto de sufrir un El Ni\u00f1o. Hemos liquidado estos bonos. Es un buen momento para reorganizarnos\u201d, dijo Dave Loquaci, miembro de la Junta Directiva de MID. \u201cAl poder liberarnos de la deuda y hacer que los productores utilicen el agua y la gestionen, el valor de la tierra ha aumentado significativamente. Los productores est\u00e1n en un distrito de agua que es financieramente s\u00f3lido y tiene agua. La MID mantiene el precio de la agua a un nivel asequible. Los productores probablemente est\u00e1n en el mejor distrito posible\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3>Sistema de tuber\u00edas<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El MID gestiona m\u00e1s de 150 millas de tuber\u00edas, que, una vez terminadas, terminar\u00e1n en la Bah\u00eda de San Francisco. La mayor\u00eda de estas tuber\u00edas fueron instaladas en la d\u00e9cada de 1940 y ya han cumplido su vida \u00fatil.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDurante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os hemos llevado a cabo un enfoque de mantenimiento reactivo\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cHasta hace poco, arreglabamos los problemas cuando se presentaban y los solucion\u00e1bamos. Hemos estado reemplazando agresivamente los conductos. En 2019, quer\u00edamos entender mejor cu\u00e1l era nuestro problema. Hicimos un programa de mejoras capitales para revisar toda nuestra infraestructura. Para mantener todos esos tubos que ya hab\u00edan superado su vida \u00fatil, necesit\u00e1bamos empezar a reemplazarlos. Aprovechamos las oportunidades de financiaci\u00f3n y reemplazamos m\u00e1s de 36.000 pies de tuber\u00eda. Todo esto se hizo en la propia empresa sin la participaci\u00f3n de ning\u00fan contratista. Los tubos son de triple pared, de buena calidad y van a durar mucho m\u00e1s que todos nosotros en esta habitaci\u00f3n. Es un gran logro\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdem\u00e1s de eso, hemos a\u00f1adido alarmas de automatizaci\u00f3n en los sistemas. Nos permiten saber cu\u00e1ndo los tubos se secan o cuando tenemos demasiado agua en nuestros tel\u00e9fonos. Todo esto se est\u00e1 integrando perfectamente y est\u00e1 ayudando a mejorar la fiabilidad de nuestro sistema.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3>Lavabos de recarga<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recientemente, el MID anunci\u00f3 una nueva zona de recarga en la comunidad de Fairmead. Esa fue una de las principales metas del MID, y construyeron una zona de recarga de 60 acres.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEsto crea una enorme oportunidad para ellos\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cDurante a\u00f1os se han ofrecido proyectos. Surgi\u00f3 MID y encontraron una oportunidad con un lote que estaba a la venta, y lo adquirimos. En dos a\u00f1os ya estaba listo para funcionar. Esa instalaci\u00f3n ya est\u00e1 lista para funcionar, y nos sentimos orgullosos de ello. Aquellas depuradoras van a ser excelentes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHemos a\u00f1adido cinco proyectos de captaci\u00f3n de agua. Son propiedades que hemos adquirido, eliminamos la cosecha y instalamos una instalaci\u00f3n de reabastecimiento. La mayor\u00eda de estos proyectos tienen entre 40 y 60 acres. Todos ellos fueron construidos en el propio terreno. Trabajaron en un corto per\u00edodo de tiempo. Fue una gran reducci\u00f3n de costos gracias a que lo hicimos internamente. Podr\u00eda decir que nuestro personal es superior a cualquier contratista. La calidad de la obra que realizan es fant\u00e1stica.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTenemos aproximadamente 215 acres de capacidad de recarga adicional. Esto es invaluable, especialmente en a\u00f1os como el que tuvimos. Ten\u00edamos una temporada de lluvias muy corta. Queremos ahorrar tanto como podamos lo antes posible. Abrimos los embalses para absorber grandes cantidades de agua y distribuirla, y eso ser\u00eda agua que habr\u00edamos perdido al oc\u00e9ano. Al tener estos sistemas en nuestro sistema, tenemos una gran oportunidad de aprovechar los a\u00f1os de lluvias o temporadas cortas. Tenemos nuestras instalaciones existentes. Estamos gestionando m\u00e1s de 1.000 acres de recarga distribuidos por todo el Distrito. Es bastante impresionante la cantidad que ahora tenemos.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Alianza de la ciudad de Madera<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si bien los handicap podr\u00edan haber aumentado en el campo de golf municipal de Madera, Greci y la MID se adjudican el m\u00e9rito al realizar la remodelaci\u00f3n de los obst\u00e1culos de agua en el campo de golf, en colaboraci\u00f3n con la ciudad de Madera.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHemos llenado los obst\u00e1culos de agua del campo de golf municipal de Madera. Instalamos un conducto de agua y lo conectamos con \u00e9l, y ya tiene agua\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cLos handicap se han incrementado. Pero, ayuda a la est\u00e9tica del campo de golf cuando se a\u00f1ade agua\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLa ciudad ha estado muy activa en la instalaci\u00f3n de dep\u00f3sitos de agua. Acabamos de terminar un nuevo desarrollo de Tozer que cuenta con un gran dep\u00f3sito. Estos son grandes beneficios, y esos miles de acres de agua no se habr\u00edan reabastecido. La ciudad depende, al 100 por ciento, del agua subterr\u00e1nea para su suministro. Reabasteciendo esa agua realmente ayuda a la ciudad\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3>Recarga de las aguas subterr\u00e1neas<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madera ha sido pionera en la rellenizaci\u00f3n de las aguas subterr\u00e1neas, que consiste b\u00e1sicamente en saturar el suelo mientras las plantas est\u00e1n en reposo.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSe coloca agua en el suelo y, b\u00e1sicamente, se la satura\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cLa gravedad la arrastra hacia el acu\u00edfero. Al permitir que los agricultores simplemente la distribuyan y reguen demasiado, no se absorbe por las plantas; est\u00e1n en estado de letargo. Solo se satura el suelo. En lugar de tener un sistema de recarga espec\u00edfico, nos enfocamos en la recarga con dep\u00f3sitos profundos; simplemente la distribuimos por toda la finca. Hay algunas fincas que incluso sumergen las plantas. Eso es todo, simplemente se satura el suelo, como lo har\u00eda la lluvia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSi lo haces temprano y realmente abana el suelo, quedar\u00e1 all\u00ed. Por eso, cuando llegue el momento de regar, tu cultivo lo absorber\u00e1 y no tendr\u00e1s que regar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los productores anticipan una temporada de lluvias con el efecto del Ni\u00f1o, y Greci capacit\u00f3 a los agricultores para que puedan aprovecharlo.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEs un 50 por ciento de probabilidad de que llueva\u201d, dijo. \u201cEstamos preparados para captar agua y depositarla en el suelo. Lo estudiamos hace unos 10 a\u00f1os y fuimos pioneros en la rellenaci\u00f3n de aguas subterr\u00e1neas. Si llega el Ni\u00f1o y tenemos agua en exceso, no habr\u00e1 coste adicional para instalar la infraestructura necesaria para la rellenaci\u00f3n de aguas subterr\u00e1neas. B\u00e1sicamente solo tenemos que encender las bombas y distribuir el agua. Esto puede requerir mucha agua y depositarla en el suelo sin ning\u00fan coste adicional. Sin embargo, el agua no es gratuita. El MID ofrecer\u00e1 agua a un precio reducido para regularizar el sistema\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHace 10 a\u00f1os, los agricultores no utilizaban el agua\u201d, dijo Loquaci. \u201cDesde entonces, hemos utilizado cada gota de agua que pudimos obtener. Los agricultores lo han hecho. En los a\u00f1os de lluvias abundantes, los agricultores distribuyeron el agua temprano. Vamos a fijar un precio lo m\u00e1s bajo posible. Si los agricultores no distribuyen el agua en el campo, no suceder\u00e1. Mi objetivo personal, si tenemos un a\u00f1o de lluvias abundantes, es tener 450 acres de agua. Creo que se puede lograr si dura todo el a\u00f1o.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3>Proyecto Madera Ranch<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El MID compr\u00f3 11.000 acres de tierra en 2005 con la intenci\u00f3n de convertir esa tierra en un banco de agua. Sin embargo, debido a problemas ambientales, no fue factible. Ahora, el MID ten\u00eda esta enorme extensi\u00f3n de tierra y no sab\u00eda qu\u00e9 hacer con ella.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de analizar qu\u00e9 eran las mejores opciones para esa propiedad, determinamos que ser\u00eda ideal que el distrito la preservara tal como es. Aprovechamos las restricciones ambientales para obtener un beneficio. Conservar lo que es es lo que consideramos que era la mejor opci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cTrabajamos con Trust for Public Lands, una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro que ayuda a preservar espacios abiertos para beneficio ambiental y de recursos p\u00fablicos\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEn \u00faltima instancia, firmaron un acuerdo de opci\u00f3n, que fue ejecutado y adquirido por ellos\u201d, a\u00f1adi\u00f3 Greci. \u201cEsa propiedad forma parte de un proceso que tiene restricciones extensas en los documentos de propiedad. Esto significa que no pueden hacer nada con esa propiedad. No pueden desarrollarla ni extraer agua de la tierra. Ser\u00e1 tal como es. Se conservar\u00e1 y, con suerte, se abrir\u00e1 al p\u00fablico como recurso p\u00fablico. Fue una situaci\u00f3n ganadora para todos, especialmente para el distrito que recibi\u00f3 ayuda con el endeudamiento de la propiedad. Nosotros no somos administradores de propiedades, somos administradores de agua\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3>MID es libre de deuda<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Con la venta de la Hacienda Madera, MID pudo afrontar algunos de los compromisos y deudas que hab\u00eda acumulado a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando Greci comenz\u00f3 con MID hace unos 10 a\u00f1os, el MID ten\u00eda una deuda de $100 millones y obligaciones con un presupuesto de alrededor de 12 millones a 15 millones. Los productores estaban siendo cobrados mediante una evaluaci\u00f3n especial, pero el MID estudi\u00f3 la posibilidad de refinanciar las obligaciones, que ten\u00edan un nivel de inter\u00e9s elevado.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHubo un aumento favorable de los intereses en el mercado\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cLamentablemente, est\u00e1bamos saliendo de una grave sequ\u00eda en la que no ten\u00edamos asignaciones en 2014 y 2015. Decidimos ir a San Francisco y decirle a ellos que necesitaban aumentar nuestra calificaci\u00f3n de bonos. Durante dos a\u00f1os consecutivos no ten\u00edamos ingresos. Fue una de las entrevistas m\u00e1s estresantes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEl ingeniero que ten\u00edan conoc\u00eda el agua de California y el Distrito de Regad\u00edo de Madera\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cLo que deber\u00eda haber sido una entrevista de media hora se convirti\u00f3 en seis horas. Mejoramos nuestra calificaci\u00f3n crediticia. Refinancieamos los bonos y tuvimos creatividad para hacerlo. Al final, redujimos la deuda considerablemente y la pagamos mucho antes de lo previsto\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El bono de 2015 fue eliminado este a\u00f1o y se incluy\u00f3 en la factura fiscal de este a\u00f1o. Liquidar los bonos anticipadamente permiti\u00f3 a la MID ahorrar $25,6 millones en la factura de 2015 y $18,4 millones en el bono de 2016, y todos esos ahorros se traducen en beneficios para los productores.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVamos a seguir pagando hasta el 2040, y ya lo hemos hecho, incluyendo el a\u00f1o 2038 en Madera Ranch\u201d, dijo Greci. \u201cEn el camino, hemos reabastecido nuestras reservas. No ten\u00edamos reservas, y ten\u00edamos una gran deuda. Ahora, no tenemos que buscar financiaci\u00f3n para proyectos. Lo hacemos nosotros mismos. Los agricultores deber\u00edan ver eso en sus facturas. Hemos invertido el dinero y estamos recibiendo millones de d\u00f3lares en intereses. Es un gran cambio en nuestro presupuesto que va a ocurrir este a\u00f1o. Estamos muy emocionados de poder lograrlo. Fue un proceso de m\u00e1s de 10 a\u00f1os para pagar esa deuda tan pronto.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs\u00ed, al reducir los gastos, podremos recaudar menos dinero, lo que significa que nuestros precios de agua podr\u00e1n bajar. Cuanto m\u00e1s asequible podamos hacer el agua para nuestros productores, mejor ser\u00e1. Una agua m\u00e1s asequible puede significar que ellos la utilizar\u00e1n m\u00e1s. Tambi\u00e9n podremos seguir invirtiendo en el distrito reemplazando los conductos, comprando nuevas propiedades y continuando con el crecimiento de nuestras capacidades de recarga\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTodas estas gestas tomaron a\u00f1os de trabajo\u201d, dijo Loquaci. \u201cY lo hicimos con el personal que ten\u00edamos. No contratamos a un mont\u00f3n de consultores. La \u00faltima gran firma de consultor\u00eda fue en 2019, cuando hicimos nuestra evaluaci\u00f3n de nuestro pipeline porque no ten\u00edamos tiempo. Todo esto se hizo con los trabajadores del despacho, que no constituyen un personal completo\u201d.\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":"<p>On the heels of finally getting debt free, the Madera Irrigation District hosted a Growers Luncheon to address some of the District\u2019s accomplishments, and let growers know what to expect in the near future. \u201cWe have an opportunity this year, hopefully, to have a wet year,\u201d said MID General Manager Tom Greci. \u201cWe have the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":50125,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,19],"tags":[25,46],"class_list":["post-50151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-above-the-fold","category-news","tag-agriculture","tag-organizations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50151"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50157,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50151\/revisions\/50157"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":50147,"date":"2026-10-23T16:05:24","date_gmt":"2026-10-23T23:05:24","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/maderatribustg.wpengine.com\/?p=50147"},"modified":"2026-10-23T16:05:26","modified_gmt":"2026-10-23T23:05:26","slug":"stallions-win-third-straight-title","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/stallions-win-third-straight-title\/","title":{"rendered":"Los toros ganan su tercer t\u00edtulo consecutivo"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Madera South Stallions girls golf team is beginning a North Yosemite dynasty by capturing its third straight NYL title last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team, which head coach Eddie Durham said is his most complete team Madera South has ever had, will continue its season at Monday\u2019s Central Section Div.

One point three million Californians have relocated to other states since 2020, taking with them their knowledge, expertise, specialized skills, and tax dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not just people. Hundreds of businesses and corporations have also left. Here are just a few of the largest ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 McKesson (pharmaceuticals\/distribution)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Charles Schwab (financial services)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 CBRE (commercial real estate)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Oracle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Tesla<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Chevron<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many jobs have been lost? All under Gavin Newsom and the Democrat conglomerate that runs Sacramento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone knows the semi-joke about insanity, how you keep doing the same thing but expect different results. Democrats have held the Sacramento majority for 48 of the last 50 years. That\u2019s one-party rule, and if we\u2019ve learned anything from despotic nations such as Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and various communist countries, one-party rule is always a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what\u2019s the solution? Maybe it\u2019s time to try something different. One man can\u2019t make all the difference, but you can start with one and build on that. Clearly, Xavier Becerra has nothing new to contribute. Before this election, had you even heard of him? I confess I had not. He has no ideas, no plans to fix anything. All he can talk about is Trump, and that is not a policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been voting blue for decades. Why not try red, just once? Give Steve Hilton a chance, because he actually does have things to say, and they make sense. Becerra, on the other hand\u2026 nothing new to report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottom line? Donald Trump can\u2019t hurt you. If you are law-abiding, you\u2019re safe. Democrats, however, will continue the destruction of California. They are not going to fix anything. They\u2019ve had 48 years. Why give them four more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 John Bowers,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Madera<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been hearing political ads in this midterm election season, I\u2019m willing to bet the one name you\u2019ve heard more than any other is \u201cDonald Trump.\u201d Remove those two words from the language and Democrat candidates would be unable to speak.

These variations create microclimates that can determine whether a plant merely survives or thrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunlight is a key influencer of microclimates. Knowing how much sun exposure you have relative to the placement of your house is an important element for successful gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 South and west facing walls absorb solar energy during the day and release it as night time temperatures cool. These are good areas for planting vegetables that require full sun (6-plus hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 North walls receive much less direct sunlight so are better suited to shade-loving plants (3-6 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 East walls usually get about half a day of sun (3-6 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Eaves can be shady and often represent a protective environment for delicate plants growing in pots placed under them or hanging from their protected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Slopes can have warmer air flow compared to hilltops or valleys. They can be good sites for citrus or other cold sensitive plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moisture levels vary across the garden, influenced by factors like downspouts, slopes, soil composition and irrigation systems. Identify wetter spots for water-loving plants like hydrangeas and drier areas for plants preferring dry conditions such as California natives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Structural elements like stone walls and concrete pathways can create unique microclimates by absorbing and releasing heat. This effect can protect frost-tolerant plants during winter, providing a cozy haven for them to thrive. Shade from structures or trees is also important and changes with the time of day and the season. Structures can further protect plants from the damaging effects of wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your next garden stroll, take note of potential microclimates and consider planting options that can help you place the right plant in the right spot. Fall is an ideal time to plant perennials such as asters, coreopsis and coneflowers for root establishment.

Merriam-Webster defines a friend as a person who has a strong liking, affection, and trust for another person, distinct from family members or romantic partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve had lots of friends through the course of my life, as most of us have had. There are a few who have really stood out as being very special to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I lived several places before I moved to Madera, where I have now lived almost half of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My childhood best friend was Candy Jordan, who lived two doors down from my house in Bartow, Florida. We became friends when we were five, and to this day we still are in contact with each other, though only through the exchange of Christmas cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My best friend in high school was Janet Moore, who passed away in 2010. Throughout our high school years in Atlanta, we were tight friends. Outside of school, you could hardly see one without the other. We also kept in contact until her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another very special friend I had was a missionary when I lived in Haiti. His name was Bob Jones, and he taught me so much about the Bible and about faith in God. He was an old cowboy from Oklahoma and he entertained me with funny stories and anecdotes from his life as an evangelist. To this day, I often quote him from some of the expressions he used. He, too, has passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My best friend, Jina, died in an automobile accident in 2018. It was a devastating time for me to lose her so suddenly. I cherish my memories of her. She and I were re-entry students at Fresno State and we enjoyed our time there attending many classes together. After we graduated, we remained close friends until her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My true best friend is David Simpson. He is living today, and will continue to be my best friend until the Lord divides us in death. On October 30, we will celebrate our 45th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I belong to the Friends of the Madera County Library, and I support the Friends of the Madera Animal Shelter. Being this kind of friend means having an affection for what these organizations represent and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A true friend is a person who has a strong liking, affection, and trust for others. Friendships are not always conscious choices. Sometimes they just happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of all the close friends I have had, I don\u2019t remember ever going out to seek a friendship of these folks, then finding them and latching onto them. The friendships developed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I have many friends here in Madera, and I cherish each one of them. Probably none are like the ones I have mentioned, and they don\u2019t have to be. All are special to me. I love them and will continue to ask God\u2019s blessings upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Que tengas un excelente fin de semana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 Mi amor para todos,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Nancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014 John 15:13<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a friend?

Betty Lou attended Madera schools and was a 1949 graduate of Madera Union High School. She followed graduation with studies at Fresno State College. Betty Lou married her sweetheart, Robert E. Montgomery, in 1953 and moved to Torrance for a year for her husband\u2019s work before returning to Madera. They were married for nearly 62 years, before he preceded her in death in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the daughter of a ranching family, Betty Lou spent a lot of time on horseback helping with the cattle at the Bar7 Ranch, as well as learning to be an exceptional homemaker. A lover of the Sierra Nevada mountains, her happy place was Central Camp, above Bass Lake. She was the hardest working woman and most selfless person her family could imagine. Yet, she lived life with so much joy. She treasured her family, tending her garden, sewing beautiful clothing for her family, and spending time at the family cabin at Central Camp. It was no small accomplishment to raise six children, and she raised them to be kind, thoughtful people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning in 1976, Betty Lou began her career with the Fresno Unified School District at Powers-Ginsburg School as a Paraprofessional Tutor.

It represents continued commitment to public safety, community protection and the ability to provide timely and effective emergency services, not only to this area, but to Rolling Hills and the surrounding areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn nearly a year\u2019s time, this nearly 9,000 square foot area will be transformed into a state-of-the-art firehouse that will serve thousands of residents in the area,\u201d said Madera County Director of Communications, Alexan Balekian. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming. If you build it, they will come. This illustrates the Board of Supervisors is committed to public safety, preserving your way of life, protecting your most precious belongings and your loved ones and the house and life you built in Madera County. It\u2019s something our County leaders don\u2019t take for granted. That\u2019s what makes this monumental day another historical step that says Madera County has your back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new fire station represents a commitment to, not only fire safety, but public safety in Madera County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is more about a broader conversation that we have,\u201d said Madera County Supervisor Jordan Wamhoff, who represents the Riverstone community. \u201cWhat we do well is public safety. We don\u2019t speak it with our words. We speak it with our actions. More than 70 percent of our general fund dollars go towards public safety. That is more than a number of counties or municipalities spend. We put public safety as our priority. This station is a testament to that priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new fire station will feature three engine apparatus bays, six firefighter bunk rooms, a kitchen, a day room, exercise facilities and public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing a police officer, I do have to point out that half of the facility is where the firefighters will sleep,\u201d Wamhoff said. \u201cThey sleep on the job. Police, we don\u2019t get to sleep on the job. They do amazing work. I am so proud of our firefighters we have in Madera County.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The station will also feature separate clean and dirty areas to help reduce firefighter exposure to carcinogens and contaminants. The station will also include decontamination and clean up areas, showers, dedicated laundry facilities, turnout gear cleaning and respirator storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Madera County Supervisor Chairman Bobby Macauley, Station No. 6 was the fourth ground breaking he has attended, and more are being planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re already having conversations of new fire stations at Valley Children\u2019s Hospital, as well as a remodel in Yosemite Lakes Park,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I can name one thing Madera County has gotten right over the last 10 years, it\u2019s fire protection. It\u2019s not by accident. That comes with thoughtful planning. We\u2019re not here because of the work that was done in the past year, but because of the groundwork set before us. I want to acknowledge those that came before us like Max Rodriguez, Tom Wheeler and Brett Frazier that helped make sure we had the proper planning to be here today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things both Macauley and Wamhoff wanted to emphasize is the Board of Supervisors\u2019 commitment to public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m a little fired up to be here,\u201d Macauley said. \u201cI was talking to a friend, and he asked, \u2018What is one thing Madera County has gotten right in the past 10 years?\u2019 Overwhelmingly, from my perspective, that\u2019s fire protection. It\u2019s fire risk reduction, whether it\u2019s the County\u2019s investment in our partners to reduce the risk of fire or it\u2019s the County investment in fire apparatus or that we have the right facilities located in the right places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith this fire station, we are serving a broader population,\u201d Wamhoff said. \u201cWhen a fire happens, it\u2019s not just one fire station. Another fire station will go or another will go to fill the other fire station. This is a whole eco system. This is a monumental occasion for us. This station is a state-of-the-art facility that is strategically located to meet those response time requirements to keep all of us safer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding for the facility came from the fees the County charged the residents in the Riverstone area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am proud to have developed this community in a place that is so great to work with,\u201d said Tim Jones of Valley Development Company, the main developer of Riverstone. \u201cThis will be a state-of-the-art facility. Even in the design phases, I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s going to cost a lot of money. Ultimately, it\u2019s paid by the development themselves. I am so proud of the people serving Madera County\u2019s government services. I know the people in Riverstone will call this their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new fire station, it helps Cal Fire and Madera County Fire reach more residents in a more timely manner. With new projects along the way, Madera County Fire will go along with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis strategically located fire station will increase our ability to respond to structure fires and vegetation fires, and enhance our ability improve our response time and strengthen our level of protection provided to our residents,\u201d Pendarvis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, the new fire station will be a cornerstone for the Riverstone community, and will enhance the commitment to public safety by Madera County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis investment demonstrates Madera County\u2019s commitment to protecting lives, property and quality of life to those who call this area home,\u201d Pendarvis said. \u201cOn behalf of the Madera County Fire Department and Cal Fire, I extend my sincere appreciation to the Madera County Board of Supervisors, our community partners and everyone whose dedication and vision helped make this project a reality. Today, we are not simply laying ground on a new fire station, we are laying the foundation to a safer and more resilient future for the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In about a year from now, Madera County will celebrate the opening of Fire Station No. 6 in the Riverstone housing development.

As\u00ed que esta noche es la clase m\u00e1s importante de toda la sesi\u00f3n a la que asistir\u00e1s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La ciudad ha presupuestado $242,1 millones para el a\u00f1o fiscal actual, mientras trabaja para cubrir puestos especializados, administrar los beneficios de los empleados y mantener los servicios esenciales de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lima, quien ha trabajado en finanzas gubernamentales durante aproximadamente 35 a\u00f1os y ha estado en Madera durante tres a\u00f1os y medio, dijo que la ciudad ha mantenido un presupuesto equilibrado durante ocho a\u00f1os consecutivos. Anteriormente, la ciudad hab\u00eda tenido seis presupuestos con d\u00e9ficit consecutivos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEstamos muy orgullosos de que la ciudad de Madera haya tenido un presupuesto equilibrado durante los \u00faltimos ocho a\u00f1os\u201d, dijo Lima. \u201cLos gastos coinciden con los ingresos\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El presupuesto de la ciudad de $242,1 millones incluye $105,3 millones para proyectos de capital, $62,5 millones para gastos de funcionamiento, $41,6 millones para costos de personal y $32,7 millones para pagos de deuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los Servicios P\u00fablicos representan la mayor parte de los gastos de la ciudad, con $103,5 millones, seguidos por Ingenier\u00eda con aproximadamente $63 millones y Polic\u00eda con $23,3 millones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El fondo general de la ciudad, que apoya servicios como la polic\u00eda y la protecci\u00f3n contra incendios, asciende a $47,4 millones. La polic\u00eda representa el 36,2 por ciento de los gastos del fondo general, mientras que los servicios de extinci\u00f3n representan el 11,2 por ciento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El impuesto al valor agregado es la principal fuente de ingresos del presupuesto general de la ciudad, y Madera recibe el uno por ciento de su tasa de impuesto al valor agregado del 8,25 por ciento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La presentaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n abord\u00f3 los pr\u00f3ximos cambios en el transporte p\u00fablico. Tras un estudio aprobado por el Ayuntamiento el 5 de agosto, la ciudad tiene previsto eliminar dos de sus cuatro rutas regulares y reconfigurar las dos restantes para aumentar la frecuencia de servicio de una vez cada hora a una cada 30 minutos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otros cambios propuestos incluyen la introducci\u00f3n del micro-transporte, la ampliaci\u00f3n de los horarios de servicio, el uso de Uber y Lyft despu\u00e9s de las horas normales de servicio, y la creaci\u00f3n de una conexi\u00f3n de transporte con el sistema de transporte de Fresno. Lima dijo que la fecha de lanzamiento objetivo de la nueva red para la ciudad es el 1 de julio de 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luego Silva present\u00f3 un panorama general de los Recursos Humanos y de su papel en las operaciones de la ciudad. Su equipo de cuatro personas se encarga de la contrataci\u00f3n, la incorporaci\u00f3n de nuevos empleados, los beneficios, las relaciones laborales, la compensaci\u00f3n de los trabajadores, las reclamaciones por da\u00f1os a los bienes y la preparaci\u00f3n para emergencias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El departamento implement\u00f3 un sistema de contrataci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea en 2024 y est\u00e1 trabajando para reducir los registros en papel mediante un proyecto de escaneado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTrabajo muy duro en nuestro departamento para no tener m\u00e1s papel\u201d, dijo Silva. \u201cMe gusta mucho el uso de sistemas online en los que todo se captura. Y por eso estamos trabajando en eso\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las plazas policiales representan una parte significativa de la actividad de reclutamiento, mientras que la ciudad tambi\u00e9n enfrenta desaf\u00edos para contratar personal especializado en la calidad del agua, la distribuci\u00f3n de agua y las operaciones de tratamiento de aguas residuales. Silva destac\u00f3 que algunas plazas requieren certificaciones estatales para operar la infraestructura municipal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNecesitamos gente en el sector que est\u00e9 interesada en obtener una certificaci\u00f3n estatal, porque aunque no estamos imponiendo esa exigencia, legalmente estamos obligados por el estado a tener operadores certificados para operar nuestros sistemas\u201d, dijo Silva. \u201cPara excavar en la tuber\u00eda de agua, se necesita un operador de distribuci\u00f3n de agua del estado de California. Para trabajar de forma independiente en nuestra planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales, se requiere al menos un nivel dos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los nuevos empleados tambi\u00e9n participan en una sesi\u00f3n de orientaci\u00f3n de un d\u00eda completo dise\u00f1ada para familiarizarlos con los departamentos y servicios de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La gesti\u00f3n de riesgos incluye evaluar las reclamaciones de responsabilidad que involucran problemas como da\u00f1os a los veh\u00edculos causados por baches, ca\u00eddas en los pasillos y da\u00f1os causados por ramas ca\u00eddas de \u00e1rboles. Silva explic\u00f3 que la ciudad participa en un acuerdo de participaci\u00f3n en el riesgo con otros municipios, en el que Madera paga los primeros $100.000 de una reclamaci\u00f3n de responsabilidad antes de que los costos se transfieran a un pool de seguros compartido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El departamento tambi\u00e9n puede solicitar un reembolso cuando un individuo da\u00f1a la propiedad de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En un ejemplo, los da\u00f1os a un controlador de sem\u00e1foros causaron aproximadamente $29.000 en da\u00f1os. Silva dijo que la ciudad podr\u00eda solicitar un reembolso a trav\u00e9s de pagos de seguros, una restituci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de la Fiscal\u00eda del Distrito o arreglos de pago privados para cubrir los costos de reparaci\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week\u2019s Citizens Academy, hosted by the City of Madera, met at the Frank Bergon Senior Center, where Director of Financial Services, Michael Lima, and Director of Human Resources, Wendy Silva, gave presentations on their respective departments. \u201cYou\u2019re hearing some pretty impressive things that the city government is doing for the citizens of Madera,\u201d Lima [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":50059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,19],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-50111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-above-the-fold","category-news","tag-organizations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50111"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50112,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50111\/revisions\/50112"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":50106,"date":"2026-10-21T07:16:00","date_gmt":"2026-10-21T14:16:00","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/maderatribustg.wpengine.com\/?p=50106"},"modified":"2026-10-20T17:44:04","modified_gmt":"2026-10-21T00:44:04","slug":"long-awaited-casino-to-open","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/maderatribune.com\/es\/long-awaited-casino-to-open\/","title":{"rendered":"Casino muy esperado abrir\u00e1 sus puertas"},"content":{"rendered":"<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-post\" data-elementor-id=\"50106\" class=\"elementor elementor-50106\" data-elementor-post-type=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67cb6a3b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67cb6a3b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67bbf932 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67bbf932\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3>North Fork Mono Casino set to open at midnight, October 28<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Fork Mono Casino announced it will officially open at midnight on October 28, marking a milestone more than two decades in the making.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located adjacent to Highway 99 in Madera between Avenue 17 and 18 1\/2 exits, the $725 million casino sits at the crossroads of some of California\u2019s most traveled routes.
