Turlock's Dot-Marie Jones ‘linchpin' in horror film. What she said, how to watch

Get the Eat. Sip. Play. newsletter in your inbox Available now: Sign up here for the best food, drink and entertainment coverage in Stanislaus County. Dot-Marie Jones’ performance in the indie-horror film “Breeder” has garnered attention for the local actress. Called “the film’s linchpin” in an online review on seattlerefined.com , the Turlock/Hilmar native Jones plays Patti, who breeds poodles. But Patti has become obsessed with merging “the DNA of two promising young people to create perfection which she then plans to sell on the black market,” the review says. “It’s dark and demented, though the catch is announced from the jump. Her irksome, icky pursuit is not nearly as upsetting as the means by which she seeks to achieve it.” In a Q&A story on phantasmag.com , Jones said she loved that the film was different. “It was cringey. It was a perfect horror film, but also a thriller. That kind of opportunity doesn’t come around that often, and the cast and crew were fantastic,” she said. When asked in the story about her performance being compared to that of Kathy Bates in “Misery,” Jones answered “That’s ridiculous, but it’s such an (honor) to be compared to Kathy. I

It’s the third location in the Central Valley, along with Fresno and Visalia, and the 16th location in California. CEO Jon Gilliam expressed enthusiasm for the new location at a ceremony held Friday. He was introduced by Trish Christensen, president and CEO of the Modesto Chamber of Commerce, with remarks from city council members Jeremiah Williams and Rosa Escutia-Braaton before they cut the ribbon to officially open the store Operating primarily in malls, the fresh-quick Japanese restaurant started in 1987 by four businessmen who wanted to bring Japanese teppanyaki cooking to the United States. The first location opened in Boston, drawing customers in with teriyaki chicken samples on a toothpick. Since that time, the company has expanded to over 240 restaurants worldwide. The Modesto location employs around 20 people. In his speech, Gilliam touted their commitment to fresh food and ingredients. He said each location hand-marinates the chicken overnight and food is prepared to order. Their specialty is the teriyaki chicken, served alongside a vegetable medley over a bed of white rice.

San Joaquin County girls volleyball CIF State first-round schedule

No CIF Sac-Joaquin Section championship trophies are coming home with San Joaquin County's girls volleyball teams this year. But that hardly tells the whole story. Four teams reached the section semifinals. One made it all the way to the championship match, took a 2-0 lead and came within a set of winning it all before falling in five . And here's the good news. Their seasons aren't over . All four now have an opportunity to chase something even bigger . A CIF State championship. Start with Ripon. The Indians had already secured their fourth straight league championship and 50th consecutive Tri-Valley League victory before entering the section Division III playoffs as the No. 1 seed. They breezed through the first three rounds, only to watch a two-set championship lead slip away against Nevada Union. Heartbreaking? Absolutely. But the Indians aren't finished. Ripon earned the No. 3 seed in the CIF State Division III tournament. Then there's St. Mary's. Another Tri-City Athletic League championship. Seventy-nine consecutive league victories. And a No. 3 seed in the section's Division I bracket. The Rams' run ended in the semifinals against Rocklin, ranked No. 11 in California by MaxPreps. Yet that defeat may have

Modesto reaches tentative settlement in lawsuit over controversial protest mask ban

Modesto has reached a tentative settlement in a lawsuit challenging its controversial ordinance banning face coverings and certain protective equipment at public demonstrations, potentially ending a months-long legal battle over protesters’ First Amendment rights. City officials announced Tuesday that a settlement in principle had been reached in the lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California on behalf of the Pacific Media Workers Guild and three individuals against the city and Modesto Police Chief Brandon Gillespie. As part of the proposed agreement, the Modesto City Council will consider removing the ordinance’s prohibition on face coverings, creating an exemption allowing journalists to wear protective equipment while covering public assemblies and modifying existing restrictions on helmets. The proposed amendments will be considered at a special City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, at 5 p.m. “The parties are working to finalize the settlement agreement,” the city said in a statement posted to its social media accounts Tuesday. All other requirements of the city’s public assembly ordinance would remain in place, according to the statement. The agreement marks a significant development in a legal dispute that has drawn criticism from civil liberties organizations, journalists and local activists who argued
