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.)

Top Tulare County football playoff games to watch, predictions

Half a dozen Tulare County high school football teams are still in the hunt for a Central Section championship, including Tulare Union (Division I-A), Tulare Western (Division II) and Redwood (Division II). Here are the top Tulare County games to watch in the second round of the 2026 Central Section playoffs (all games are on Friday, Nov. 13, unless noted), plus the Visalia Times-Delta's predictions. No. 7 San Luis Obispo (8-3) at No. 2 Tulare Western (10-1), 7 p.m., Bob Mathias Stadium The East Yosemite League champion Mustangs won their first playoff game under head coach Derek Rosa. Tulare Western's 29-7 first-round victory over Justin Garza marked the program's first postseason win in seven years when the Mustangs reeled off three consecutive playoff victories to advance to the 2019 Central Section Division II championship game. Can the Mustangs make a similar run? It's definitely possible. Tulare Western has one of the most explosive spread offenses in the entire state. Behind record-setting quarterback Juju Hernandez (4,216 passing yards, 53 passing touchdowns) and star receiver Amarion Taylor (88 catches, 1,685 receiving yards, 26 receiving touchdowns), the Mustangs are averaging nearly 44 points per game. Hernandez and Taylor are both juniors. Tulare Western

$82M Highway 99 interchange project aims to reshape key Tulare County corridor

The State Route 99/Caldwell Avenue Interchange Project is expected to accommodate current and future transportation needs in Tulare County, improve regional connectivity and make travel safer and more efficient. The project is part of a broader plan to improve transportation and support business development and freight movement along the Avenue 280 corridor, which includes Caldwell Avenue and Visalia Road and stretches from Highway 99 east to Exeter. The Highway 99 interchange portion of the project will cost $82 million, according to Caltrans Project Manager Mohamad Annan. Funding will come from a combination of federal, state, regional and local sources, including Tulare County Measure R funds, California's Regional Improvement Program, the Local Partnership Program, the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program and other federal funds. “When this particular project is done, it's going to be a critical and crucial access for the future children's clinic and future Kaweah outpatient surgery center and a great east-west corridor going into the eastern part of the county,” said Dennis Townsend, a Tulare County supervisor and chair of the Tulare County Association of Governments Board of Governors. “I'm sure it's going to be a boon to Farmersville and to Exeter, but it's also

CEO's gone; High-Speed Rail still plans to lay first tracks this year. Does it need the win?

The recent resignation of its CEO hasn’t changed the California High-Speed Rail Authority ’s plan to lay the project’s first tracks by the end of year, says the head of the agency’s board, a milestone that could improve the public image of the often-maligned project. The agency says it has already begun receiving the building materials it needs to begin that work in Kern County. “We’re moving forward,” board Chair Steve Kawa told The Fresno Bee. “We’re going to be getting track, and we’re going to be laying track in 2026.” The rail authority has spent most of the last two years promising the physical milestone by the end of this year — more than a decade after construction began in the Central Valley — so failing to begin that work could worsen the project’s already strained public image. Gov.-elect Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has indicated he wants to reform high-speed rail, but he has provided few details about any potential plans. Jonathan Underland, Becerra’s spokesperson, did not respond to The Fresno Bee’s request for an interview with the governor-elect. If the agency succeeds in laying track in the next six weeks, it could take a late win in what

GOP leader losing as Blue Wave hits deep red Central Valley

Votes are still being counted in a deep-red Central Valley Assembly race, but the latest results show signs that a Democrat has the potential to flip the seat. As of Thursday morning, Democratic candidate Hipolito Cerros, a former small-town mayor who ran a lowkey grassroots campaign, is ahead of Alexandra Macedo, the Republican minority leader, by 325 votes. Both Cerros, 28, and Macedo, 32, are running in the 33rd Assembly District, a pocket of the state that has not seen a Democrat represent it in the Assembly since 1967.
