2 Tulare County markets ace September and October inspections, 9 fall short

The Visalia Times-Delta lets you know which Tulare County markets (including mini-markets) aced their inspections, as well as which ones need to make improvements. Since the September and October inspections were released on the same day, and since there was only one market that scored less than 90 in September, we have combined the two months in this report. Markets included are those that primarily sell groceries. Markets with inspection scores between 90-99, which are the majority of markets, are not included in this report. Also, please note that most markets are not inspected every month. This report is based on the Tulare County Environmental Health Division reports that were released on Nov. 2. Tulare County's best market inspections The following two markets met all standards during their October inspections and no violations were found. (No markets had perfect scores in September.)

High school football playoffs quarters/semis predictions: Upset in Division I-AA?

Showers are in the forecast for Friday’s Central Section high school football games in the Fresno area. Could that affect how the games play out? Who knows, but it will make for interesting football and maybe outcomes. According to McClatchy Media meteorologist Sean Macaday, he said scattered showers will begin at 7 p.m., and will taper off just after 10 p.m. Semifinal matchups are taking place in Division I-AA, Division II, and 8-Player. Top-seed Central East hosts No. 4 Bakersfield and No. 6 Clovis West visits No. 2 Buchanan at Veterans Memorial Stadium. In Division I-A, No. 5 Tulare Union faces top-seed Garces and No. 6 Sanger visit No. 2 Bakersfield Christian. The 8-player semifinals feature No. 5 Alpaugh playing No. 1 Mammoth at No. 3 Laton meeting No. 2 Immanuel Christian. Predictions: Upset brewing? Bakersfield is a dangerous team and will present challenges for Central East. The Drillers have a strong running game that they can lean on. In last week’s 35-7 victory over Clovis, four Bakersfield players combined for 337 rushing yards, led by Damir Lomax’s 17 carries for 171 yards and a touchdown. Lomax has 1,359 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. Damariae Lee has 11 rushing touchdowns.

Despite ‘catastrophic risk’ warning, Fresno County says ‘yes’ to blast mining the San Joaquin River

Fresno County supervisors on Thursday afternoon approved a 300-foot-deep blast mine on the banks of the San Joaquin River. The board greenlit the proposal despite an in-person recommendation from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to reject the mining project over its “catastrophic” risk to taxpayer’s billion-dollar investment in the San Joaquin River’s salmon run.
