State Center College District picks new chancellor. She worked under embattled predecessor
The State Center Community College District has officially selected a new leader: an internal candidate who formerly worked alongside the former, controversy-embroiled chancellor. During Tuesday night’s board meeting, trustees unanimously decided that deputy chancellor Christine Holt-McDonald will assume the role of chancellor. The district entered into a two-and-a-half-year employment agreement with Holt-McDonald, who will earn an annual salary of $365,000. “I’m very honored and very humbled, to be the next chancellor of State Center Community College District,” Holt-McDonald said during the meeting. Holt-McDonald joined the district in 2025 and previously served as the chancellor of a university in Arkansas. She worked closely alongside Carole Goldsmith, who served as the chancellor from November 2021 to September 2026. In November 2025, 250 members of the district’s faculty union unanimously issued a vote of no confidence in Goldsmith’s leadership. Hours ahead of this vote, Goldsmith announced that she’d retire in September 2026 and said the union actions had nothing to do with the decision. Ahead of trustees’ decision, Keith Ford, president of the State Center Federation of Teachers, said there are some concerns surrounding the prospect of an internal candidate leading the district. “We would be looking immediately for her to break with

Store closings, bankruptcy. What to know about The Children's Place in Fresno area
The future is looking bleak for The Children’s Place stores in and around Fresno. Workers at the Fashion Fair mall store say it’s shutting down and giant “store closing” signs hang from the ceiling, though the company has not officially confirmed it is closing. The future of locations at Visalia Mall and Hanford Mall is unclear. Both locations are holding liquidation sales. The New Jersey-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Sunday. The kids clothing retailer is attempting to survive the bankruptcy, looking for a new owner to buy it before the end of the year. Announcements of store closures are coming, according to an email from a company spokesperson. The message said: “At this time, all of our stores and e-commerce sites remain open and continue to serve customers. With that said, The Children’s Place has determined that it will be necessary to close certain stores during this process. As such, we are conducting an ongoing evaluation of our operational footprint and will communicate confirmed decisions as they are made.” The mall retailer’s revenue fell 18.9% in its most recent financial quarter compared to the same time last year. The Children’s Place took on “huge” levels of debt, some

Sunsets, craft cocktails, shareable plates: Check out Fresno's hidden rooftop bar
Quail State has a deck that can see miles of downtown Fresno. Someone walking on Fulton Street could be forgiven for missing the bar’s entrance. Quail State is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge on the second floor of the historic Pacific Southwest Building . There’s a board out front of the building that lets people know they need to go inside, and from there it’s a quick ride in the rich wood-paneled elevator to the building’s second floor, where the bar and its deck are located. Mandip Singh and Amritpaul Singh (no relation) bought Quail State in 2023, but it was first founded by Josh and Hayley Islas-Wolf in 2021. When Mandip and Amritpaul took the bar over, they decided they wanted to create more of a community aspect and added a food menu, as well as almost-daily events focused on art and socializing. “It’s not a club vibe,” Mandip said. “It’s for all age groups.” People can either get shareables or a full meal, depending on what they’re in the mood for, with options including pizza, pasta, salads and wings (Quail State makes their own lemon pepper sauce in-house), but one particular appetizer came highly recommended from bartender
