Ice cream shop in Fresno sold after 22 years. See the new concept and name
From the street, the store’s sign still says Jack’s Sweets and Treats. From the parking lot, customers can see a new sign — Morgan’s Sweets and Treats . The original owner, Jack Rocha, spent more than 20 years behind the counter, scooping ice cream onto a frozen slab, preparing mix-ins and baking cookies, but Morgan won’t be doing that for a simple reason. Morgan is a little girl. She’s the daughter of the new owner, John Orellana, who bought the shop from Rocha at the beginning of October. Rocha opened the shop almost 22 years ago. “It was a good time and I found a great buyer,” Rocha said. Before the store was Jack’s Sweets and Treats, it was Marble Slab. Rocha originally opened the business as a part-time venture while working at Wonder Bread. When Wonder Bread declared bankruptcy and shuttered many of its bakeries, Rocha decided to make Marble Slab a full-time endeavor. Marble Slab was the first business to open in Via Montana Shopping Center, and Rocha has seen dozens of businesses come and go in the time he’s been there. “I think I was open a month before Yosemite Ranch,” Rocha said. Rocha has also been

City attorney cleared over confirmation of candidate's DUI to media; questions remain
The investigations that the Fresno city attorney and a councilmember called for against each other over the handling of a candidate’s DUI charge were closed by city council in closed session last week without explanation. A short, joint statement from the Fresno City Council said City Attorney Andrew Janz did not violate any policies when he confirmed to media that council candidate Naindeep Singh had been arrested on suspicion of DUI a week before the Nov. 3 election, and that the matter was now closed. The unusual, unsigned, two-sentence statement on council letterhead was released on Monday, but it did not include how or when the council reached that conclusion. Kevin Little — an attorney representing Singh — told The Bee that his client still believes a thorough and unbiased investigation should be conducted into why he was arrested and then information of the arrest disclosed. At a press conference last week, Singh and Little called for Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office to get involved. “We are interested in facts, not bare conclusions,” Little said. “We have submitted exhaustive requests for public records and hope that those requests result in the disclosure of the requested information, since apparently now the

You can cut down your own Christmas tree in CA for $20. Where to go near Fresno
Imagine hiking into a lush forest as the birds flit through the lofty evergreens. As you enter a sunny clearing, you spot your ideal Christmas tree: a perfectly formed fir. You can cut down your own holiday tree at a dozen national forests across California, including a couple near Fresno. According to federal government officials, controlled tree-cutting is allowed during the holidays to reduce overgrowth and fire risks. “For every tree that is found, cut and carried home as a holiday fixture, you’re also contributing to the overall forest health,” officials said on Recreation.gov. “Christmas tree permits are a unique opportunity to help thin densely populated stands of small-diameter trees — the perfect size for a Christmas tree.” It’s best to plan ahead, since permits go fast. Here’s what to know: Where can I cut down a Christmas tree in California? In California, a total of 12 national forests offer seasonal tree permits just in time for the holiday season. You can discover which forests offer tree permits by going to Recreation.gov and checking out the interactive map. You can also search by the forest name, location or state.
