Here’s a look at the quarterfinal matchups (all games scheduled for 6 p.m. kickoff): Division 3: Merced at Vanden After going 2-2 during nonleague play, the Bears have been on a roll. Merced, which won six straight games to claim the Central California Conference championship, now heads to Fairfield for a Division 3 quarterfinal matchup.

Kings County Braces for Monster El Niño After Tule River Broke Through Its Banks in at Least 50 Places in 2023

Kings County supervisors declared a preemptive state of emergency on Oct. 13, preparing for potential flooding as forecasters warn of an extraordinarily strong El Niño bearing down on the southern San Joaquin Valley this winter. The move comes more than three years after the Tule River broke through its banks in at least 50 places, and officials say the memory of 2023 — when floodwaters damaged homes, dairies, businesses, roads and infrastructure — is shaping how the county and its web of water agencies are gearing up this time around.

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
