The team members are getting their last hours of training in, the covers are getting removed from the tables, the floors are getting shined and the windows cleaned for Wednesday\u2019s Opening Night of the North Fork Mono Casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, it was announced the Casino will open at midnight Wednesday to bring an end to a 20-year journey for the North Fork Mono Indian tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited,\u201d said Vice Chairman of the Mono Indian Tribe, Fred Beihn. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting a long time. 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. We\u2019ll be ready for them. Our whole tribe is excited, the community is excited, the mountain is excited. There\u2019s a lot of excitement.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Matilda Torres Toros girls volleyball team clinched at least a tie for the North Yosemite League championship with a four-set win over Sunnyside on Senior Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toros played at Sanger West on Thursday to close the regular season. Sanger West beat the Toros in the first round. However, if the Toros avenge the loss, they will claim the NYL title, outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honored before the match were Alexa Cervantes, Gianna Gonzalez, Noelia Calvillo, Amelia Specials and Mya Lujan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toros won the first two sets, but stumbled in the third set before closing out the match in the fourth set. The Toros outscored the Wildcats, 91-74 in the four sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third set, the Toros took the early lead behind kills from Specials and Anderson. However, the Wildcats scored five straight points with three kill and two aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toros left no doubt in the fourth set. Specials and Miranda opened the set with a dual block, and Miranda put down a kill for a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specials served up an ace after an Anderson side out kill. The Toros led 9-6 after a Lujan side out kill. Of Sunnyside\u2019s first six points, three were scored on missed Torres serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s new? They are moving to Fresno!<\/p>\n\n Writing for Newsbreak, Liliana Fannin reports, \u201cFresno is the second most common destination for Gen Zers (born 1997-2012) moving from Los Angeles and the fourth most common location for those moving from Riverside, according to a report from U-Haul published in July.\u201d She says that the Los Angeles Times even posed an intriguing question in its story about the phenomenon: \u201cIs Fresno the new L.A.?\u201d<\/p>\n\n The Business Journal notes that the new migration is especially interesting because \u201cthe city did not appear among the five leading destinations for baby boomers, Gen X, or millennials leaving Los Angeles or Riverside in the data reported by U-Haul.\u201d But for Gen Z customers leaving Los Angeles, the five leading metropolitan areas were San Francisco Bay Area, Fresno, Bakersfield, Houston, and Dallas. And for those leaving Riverside, the chosen areas were Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, Fresno, and Dallas.<\/p>\n\n Frankly, to me the biggest surprise in the new data is the inclusion of the San Francisco Bay Area for both migrating groups. Other sources opine that the SF Bay Area is one of the \u201cbest places\u201d to live. But that\u2019s only if you can afford to pay $4,000 or more for a one-bedroom apartment in S.F. And the median price of a house is $1,595,000. If you decide to settle further south on the peninsula, say to Palo Alto, the median price for a house is $3,600,500. But, if the migrants are willing to go as far south as San Jose, they\u2019ll find that the median price for a house is $1,346,167.<\/p>\n\n In addition, nearly everything else is more expensive than elsewhere throughout most of the U.S. However, for reasons that were not explained in any of the sources that I consulted, the cost of a gallon of gasoline is actually cheaper in S.F. (average $5.63) than it is in Fresno (average $6.35). And that\u2019s also true for migrants from Riverside where the price of gas is $6.21 for regular, $6.46 for midgrade, and $6.64 for premium.<\/p>\n\n Fannin reports that Mayor Jerry Dyer elaborated on the influx of people. She states that Dyer notes \u201cthe city\u2019s affordable living, limited traffic congestion, and central location near natural parks.\u201d In Fresno, the median cost of a house is about $400,000, a one-bedroom apartment goes for about $1,300\/month, and the average across all types of apartments is about $1,600.<\/p>\n\n Fresno also offers a sunny climate with mild winters. The Chamber of Commerce might advertise \u201cwarm summers,\u201d but we know that summers are hot, however we soften that proclamation by adding \u201c\u2026but it\u2019s a dry heat.\u201d The city is also close to three national parks: Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon. So, residents can avail themselves of opportunities like hiking, cycling, weekend trips to the mountains, and proximity to Casino\/Resorts.<\/p>\n\n Fresno offers excellent opportunities for higher education with a two-year college that has multiple campuses as well as California State University, Fresno. The city also has an active art community, a wonderful zoo, and The Great Fresno Fair.<\/p>\n\n Fannin points out, \u201cTo be sure, downtown has struggled with stalled projects and vacant properties\u2026.\u201d However, Kelly Gibson, a residential manager with Manco Abbott says that there has been \u201can influx of new businesses, housing, events, and nightlife downtown in recent years\u201d and that they\u2019ve drawn local residents to live in the area. According to Gibson, \u201cDowntown is becoming an increasingly appealing place to call home, bringing a renewed sense of energy and excitement to the city center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Madera is located at the geographical center of California, part of the Fresno-Madera Metropolitan Area. The City of Madera has many of the same advantages as Fresno, although we lack the shopping and business centers. We also have a two-year college and easy access to CSU Fresno.<\/p>\n\n The median price of a house is about the same, $385,000, and a one-bedroom apartment goes for as low as $995\/month and a high-end apartment with premium features goes for $1,500 to $1,600\/month. At the present time, our downtown area is going through some well-needed changes. Caltrans is redesigning Yosemite Avenue (which is part of State Route 145). When the project is completed, it will feature new sidewalks and traffic circles.<\/p>\n\n Most of all, I think that the City of Madera offers the friendliness that seems to be more likely found in small cities than in larger agglomerations. That\u2019s why, when it came time for me to retire, I chose Madera.<\/p>\n\n A few miles north on SR 99, there\u2019s the Discovery Center, which features the relics of creatures that lived in the area during the paleolithic era: mammoths, dire wolves, saber-tooth cats, as so forth. Because Madera means wood or lumber in Spanish, I always thought that we should have a Lumber Museum. Mariposa has a gem and rock museum, which fits well with its mining history. We have an empty library building where we could display various types of wood that can be found in California (and maybe elsewhere, as well).<\/p>\n\n We also have the Chukchansi Resort and Casino on SR 145 and the North Fork Mono Casino and Resort just off SR 99 and Road 17 which is scheduled to open on Wednesday. Each features multiple restaurants and a variety of gambling choices. They also provide employment for many local workers.<\/p>\n\n A quarter century ago, Gail McIntyre, Debi Bray, the late Nancy Clute, and I organized CPR (Community Pride Renaissance) which led to other committees and eventually produced the Madera 2025 Action Plan. I think we need some similar organization now to plan for the modernization of downtown once the new street is completed.<\/p>\n\n Like Fresno, Madera can be a destination.<\/p>\n\n \u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n\n Jim Glynn es Profesor Em\u00e9rito de Sociolog\u00eda.

I call it that, too, but depending on the circumstances, I try to remember that most people call it basil. I sometimes have reverted back to the Italian version, and have been met with looks that translate into, \u201cHuh? What?\u201d<\/p>\n\n I have about a dozen plants in pots on my deck, along with other herbs such as rosemary, thyme, garlic chives, regular chives, thyme, oregano, sage and parsley. Every summer I make pesto sauce, to enjoy as a pizza topping or with pasta. I also use a bit to flavor homemade vegetable soup or even spread on a piece of toast.<\/p>\n\n Years ago, pesto sauce was not very popular, and some of my co-workers would look on in disgust when I ate pasta mixed with this green sauce. I heard everything from it looked like a cow coughed on my pasta, to jokes about me making a meal from having cleaned off lawnmower blades. I was happy when this delicious sauce made from basil leaves became highly prized.<\/p>\n\n If you also like basil, I hope you find some inspiration in the following recipes. Happy eating to all.<\/p>\n\n I have used walnuts when I didn\u2019t have pine nuts and it works just great. Also, I like to cook the pesto sauce (without the grated cheese) for just a minute, to help blend the flavors and mellow the garlic a bit.<\/p>\n\n 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 2 cloves garlic (I would need a lot more than that)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 cup pine nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 2\/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Sal kosher y pimienta negra reci\u00e9n molida, al gusto<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese (or Parmesan)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. In a food processor, combine basil leaves, garlic and pine nuts. Process until coarsely chopped. Add 1\/2 cup of the olive oil and process until mixture becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n 2. If using right away, add the remaining olive oil and process again. Pour out into a serving bowl and mix in the grated cheese. If you want to freeze the sauce, transfer to an airtight container and drizzle the remaining oil over the top rather than mixing it in. Freeze for up to three months. When ready to use, thaw and mix in the cheese. Makes about 1 cup.<\/p>\n\n 24 cherry or grape tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 12 cherry-size fresh mozzarella balls<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 24 fresh basil leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Balsamic glaze<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Sea salt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Thread the tomatoes, mozzarella onto miniature skewers. Start with a tomato, a basil leaf, a ball of mozzarella, another basil leaf, ending with another tomato. (Or arrange them as you see fit.)<\/p>\n\n 2. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze. You can buy this, or make your own by simmering the vinegar until it reduces to a syrup.<\/p>\n\n 3.

Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt, pepper and dried basil.Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers.<\/p>\n\n 2. Add the chicken in a single layer. Sear 5 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and brown on the other side. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.<\/p>\n\n 3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and heat until it melts and foams. Add shallot and saute, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, stir together with shallots, and cook 1 minute more.<\/p>\n\n 4. Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the pan bottom, then add the chicken broth. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n 5. Add heavy cream and whisk for 30 seconds, until smooth. Add the Parmesan cheese, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking in between until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the fresh basil leaves.<\/p>\n\n 6. Return chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chicken and garnish with more fresh basil and the parsley. Makes 4 servings.<\/p>\n\n Depending on the size of the loaf of bread, you can easily double the topping recipe if you need to.<\/em><\/p>\n\n 1\/2 cup (generous) finely chopped cherry tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 large clove garlic, cut in half crosswise<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 6 to 8 leaves fresh basil, finely chopped<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 1\/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra, if needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Sal y pimienta negra reci\u00e9n molida, al gusto<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 loaf baguette<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1.

Folks around Madera called it the homeliest hound that ever profaned civilization but readily acknowledged it as a champion fighter. Everywhere Ben went he puffed up with pride at the respect that was accorded his pet pup. Then one day the courageous cur and its pugnacious master were both brought down a peg or two. They were chased out of town by an irate little woman who hadn\u2019t heard how tough they both were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bresee worked on the Adobe Ranch and came into Madera one day in the summer of 1909 to do a little business. He had a couple of horses he wanted to sell, so he set up shop on the corner of D Street and Yosemite Avenue, just down from the Palace Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now as badly as Ben wanted to sell his horses, he wasn\u2019t nearly so proud of his steeds as he was the dog that helped corral them. His pet bulldog kept the animals from wandering away while Ben was negotiating. They made a good pair \u2014 the man and the dog \u2014 and Ben figured they could withstand just about anything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then along about noon, a country-bred canine accompanied by a lady in a buggy came breezing down Yosemite Avenue. The lady parked her rig on the north side of Yosemite Avenue, intending to do a little shopping at Tighe and Breyfogle\u2019s. Before she could enter the store, however, her dog spotted Ben\u2019s four footed companion, whose hair bristled on the back of his neck at the thought of an invasion of his territory there in downtown Madera by another pooch. For his part Ben just leaned back against the street post. He was sure he was about to be entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In less time than it takes to tell it, the two dogs were at each other, and the ruckus drew a crowd, including a reporter from the Madera Mercury, who commented that if the spectators had had any advance notice of the combat there would no doubt have been a side bet or two. The smart money would have been placed on Ben Bresee\u2019s bulldog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Ben nonchalantly looking on with confidence and the little lady calling her dog, the fur began to fly, and in less than a minute, Ben\u2019s bulldog had its opponent on the ground howling for mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bresee, convinced that his dog had proved its worth, moved to defuse the situation by separating the two snarling adversaries. He yanked his dog and attempted to pull him away, but the bull held fast. Then he grabbed him by the hindlegs and tried to pull him away. Still the dog held on to its opponent. Finally he seized his dog\u2019s jaws and endeavored to unlock them, all to no avail. Suddenly it dawned on everyone that this was going to most likely be a fight to the finish. They reckoned, however, without the courage of the little lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Ben was thus occupied, he didn\u2019t see the driver of the buggy step quickly back to her vehicle. He didn\u2019t notice the country dog\u2019s owner retrieve that umbrella with its sharp, pointed end. He didn\u2019t see her advancing on the fracas until she was almost on top of him with what was almost a lethal weapon in her hands. There was determination in the woman\u2019s eyes. If Ben couldn\u2019t stop the fight, she could \u2014 in her own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The unidentified woman ignored the dog fight and directed her righteous indignation on Ben. Raining a series of well-aimed blows to his head with her umbrella, she drove her adversary to the sidewalk and then returned to the street to put a stop to the dogfight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last thing any one saw of Ben, he was running north on D Street with his dog right behind. Apparently when he deserted the fighting field, his four-footed gladiator decided to follow suit, and they didn\u2019t return for the horses until the woman and her dog finished their business and headed back up Yosemite Avenue whence they had come. As the newsman reported later, trying to stop a dogfight was one thing; disarming a wrathful woman was quite another matter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ben Bresee thought that he had the meanest dog in town.

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 \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 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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 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 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 \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 \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 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 \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 \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 \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":" 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 […]<\/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":"los-toros-ganan-su-tercer-titulo-consecutivo","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":" El equipo femenino de golf de Madera South Stallions est\u00e1 iniciando una dinast\u00eda en el noreste de Yosemite al obtener su tercer t\u00edtulo consecutivo en la NYL la semana pasada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El equipo, al que el entrenador Eddie Durham calific\u00f3 como su mejor equipo hasta la fecha, continuar\u00e1 su temporada el lunes en el Campeonato de la Secci\u00f3n Central III de la Divisi\u00f3n, en el campo de golf de Lemoore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El equipo inici\u00f3 la temporada NYL con una victoria sobre Matilda Torres y gan\u00f3 seis torneos NYL consecutivos.

Lo \u00fanico que tendr\u00edan que decir ser\u00eda: \u201c\u00a1Donald Trump es malo!\u201d \u201c\u00a1Yo me opongo a Trump!\u201d \u201c\u00a1Trump es un malvado!\u201d \u201c\u00a1Mi oponente le gusta a Trump, as\u00ed que voten por m\u00ed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lo siento, gente, pero esas no son cuestiones de campa\u00f1a. Son excusas. \u201cNo tengo ideas, no tengo nada que ofrecer, pero mi oponente le gusta a Trump, as\u00ed que voten por m\u00ed\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dejemos a un lado a Donald Trump. \u00c9l no vive en California. \u00c9l no gobierna California. Y si no lo han notado, California est\u00e1 en problemas reales. Los precios m\u00e1s altos de gasolina en el pa\u00eds, la falta de vivienda, los precios de los inmuebles, el analfabetismo; todo, incluido el fraude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Una vez California era considerada un para\u00edso, un destino. La gente ven\u00eda de todo el mundo solo para ver sus playas, sus granjas y su belleza alpina. La poblaci\u00f3n crec\u00eda constantemente gracias a quienes buscaban oportunidades y un clima maravilloso. \u00bfPero hoy en d\u00eda? Estamos siendo objeto de burla, un ejemplo a seguir. Otros estados nos burlan, nos se\u00f1alan y gritan: \u201c\u00a1Cuidado! \u00a1No sig\u00e1is ese ejemplo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Y por primera vez en los 75 a\u00f1os que he vivido aqu\u00ed, la gente est\u00e1 dejando la ciudad en masa. Desde 2020, un mill\u00f3n trescientos mil californianos se han trasladado a otros estados, trayendo consigo su conocimiento, experiencia, habilidades especializadas y los impuestos que pagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No solo las personas. Tambi\u00e9n han dejado la ciudad cientos de empresas y corporaciones. Aqu\u00ed solo se incluyen algunas de las m\u00e1s importantes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 McKesson (farmac\u00e9uticos\/distribuci\u00f3n)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Charles Schwab (servicios financieros)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 CBRE (Inmobiliaria comercial)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Oracle<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Tesla<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Chevron<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas empleos se han perdido? Todo ello bajo el gobierno de Gavin Newsom y el conglomerado dem\u00f3crata que gobierna Sacramento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Todos conocemos la broma sobre la locura: hacer la misma cosa y esperar resultados diferentes. Los dem\u00f3cratas han mantenido la mayor\u00eda en Sacramento durante 48 de los \u00faltimos 50 a\u00f1os. Esto representa un gobierno de un solo partido, y si hemos aprendido algo de naciones desp\u00f3ticas como Alemania nazi, el Imperio japon\u00e9s y varios pa\u00edses comunistas, el gobierno de un solo partido siempre es un desastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Siempre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entonces, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es la soluci\u00f3n? Quiz\u00e1s sea hora de probar algo diferente. Un hombre solo no puede hacer toda la diferencia, pero se puede empezar con uno y construir sobre ello. Claramente, Xavier Becerra no tiene nada nuevo que aportar. Antes de estas elecciones, \u00bfhab\u00edas o\u00eddo siquiera de \u00e9l? Confesso que no. No tiene ideas ni planes para arreglar nada. Todo lo que puede hablar es de Trump, y eso no es una pol\u00edtica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hemos votado en color azul durante d\u00e9cadas. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no probar el rojo, por un solo d\u00eda? Dejen que Steve Hilton tenga una oportunidad, porque realmente tiene algo que decir y tiene sentido. Por su parte, Becerra\u2026 nada nuevo que informar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En resumen: Donald Trump no puede hacerte da\u00f1o. Si cumples con la ley, est\u00e1s a salvo. Sin embargo, los dem\u00f3cratas seguir\u00e1n destruyendo California. No van a arreglar nada.

Estas variaciones crean microclimas que pueden determinar si una planta sobrevive o prospera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La luz solar es un factor clave en el desarrollo de los microclimas. Saber cu\u00e1nta exposici\u00f3n a la luz solar tiene una casa en relaci\u00f3n con su ubicaci\u00f3n es un elemento importante para un buen cultivo de plantas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Las paredes orientadas al sur y al oeste absorben la energ\u00eda solar durante el d\u00eda y la liberan cuando las temperaturas nocturnas se reducen. Estas son buenas zonas para plantar vegetales que requieren mucha luz solar (m\u00e1s de seis horas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Los muros norte\u00f1os reciben mucha menos luz solar directa, por lo que son m\u00e1s adecuados para plantas que prefieren la sombra (3-6 horas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Las paredes orientales suelen recibir alrededor de media jornada de sol (3-6 horas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Los arcos pueden ser sombreados y suelen representar un entorno protector para las plantas delicadas que crecen en macetas colocadas debajo de ellos o que cuelgan de sus zonas protegidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Las colinas pueden tener un flujo de aire m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido en comparaci\u00f3n con los cumbres o valles. Pueden ser buenos lugares para plantas c\u00edtricas o otras sensibles al fr\u00edo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los niveles de humedad var\u00edan en todo el jard\u00edn, influenciados por factores como los desag\u00fces, los desniveles, la composici\u00f3n del suelo y los sistemas de riego. Identifique las zonas m\u00e1s h\u00famedas para las plantas que necesitan agua, como las hortensias, y las zonas m\u00e1s secas para las plantas que prefieren condiciones m\u00e1s secas, como las propias de California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los elementos estructurales, como las paredes de piedra y los caminos de concreto, pueden crear microclimas \u00fanicos al absorber y liberar calor. Este efecto puede proteger a las plantas resistentes al fr\u00edo durante el invierno, proporcionando un refugio acogedor para que prosperen.
