The value of a volunteer | Barton

While attending the 2024 American National CattleWomen Region VI meeting in Las Cruces, New Mexico, we heard a speaker talk about “The Value of a Volunteer.” New Mexico CowBelle President Michelle Greeman made many interesting points. The 103rd Red Bluff Round-Up was successful because of the many volunteers at all the events that preceded the three days of rodeo.  Imagine what would have happened if our community of volunteers hadn’t stepped up for the rodeo, parade, mixer, pancake breakfast, luncheon, etc. ANCW members are professional volunteers since we volunteer our time for beef promotion and outreach education in local communities and across our states. We join ANCW and our local units because we believe in promoting the beef industry, want to help, want to be involved in something bigger than ourselves, want camaraderie with like-minded women, and love tradition. The difference between volunteers and members is that volunteers give their time freely to better a cause, while members pay to be part of an organization and expect benefits as part of their membership. We want to feel and find value in being members, and this

JP Sears spins quality start as A’s win fifth straight game

OAKLAND — There were a trio of occasions on Friday night where the Marlins seemed poised to scratch across, at the minimum, a run or two against JP Sears. All three times, Sears, with a little help from his defense, slammed the door en route to turning in one of his finer starts of the year. On a relatively lively evening at the Oakland Coliseum, Sears tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings, Brent Rooker hit his sixth home run, Lucas Erceg recorded his second save and the Athletics (16-17) bested the Marlins, 3-1, to win their fifth straight game. “JP’s done a nice job of controlling the emotions,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “He’s done a nice job of recognizing when it gets to spiraling that he needs to focus on making and executing a pitch and getting an out.” The outing was a bounceback for Sears, who allowed seven earned runs, tied for the most he’s surrendered in a single start, to the Orioles across 6 1/3 innings in his last appearance. If there was a theme for Sears on Friday night, it was his

Miscues loom large in SF Giants’ series-opening loss to Phillies

PHILADELPHIA — Facing the stiffest test of his short career as a starting pitcher, the biggest impact Jordan Hicks made Friday night against the Phillies wasn’t anything he did on the mound. It was his delay getting off of it. With the speedy Trea Turner standing on second base with one steal already under his belt, Hicks remained stationary when his full-count splitter to Bryce Harper popped out of Tom Murphy’s glove. Turner advanced to third, saw home plate vacant and made a dash for it. Hicks realized, but it was already too late. Replay review confirmed Turner’s right foot slid across the plate just ahead of an acrobatic attempt at a tag from the pitcher, and that might as well have put the game out of reach for the Giants. It was the Phillies’ fourth run, a total San Francisco failed to reach for the eighth consecutive game in a 4-3 loss. “That was the least of my worries today,” said Hicks, who failed to complete five innings for the first time this season and was handed his first loss, allowing four runs (two

“Total disarray”: Man arrested after hundreds of dead animals found in Laton

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A man has been arrested after hundreds of dead and live animals were discovered in deplorable conditions in Laton. The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office arrested 41-year-old Carl Mendes Friday at a home on Mt. Whitney Avenue and Chestnut Street. Deputies say somebody passing through the area noticed the property and called the Sheriff’s Office. When Action News crews arrived on the scene, you could smell the stench from the property. When deputies arrived, they found the property with close to 300 animals living in “total disarray” and hundreds of other dead animals. The animals include pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and more. Mendes was arrested on child neglect charges because he has four teenagers living at the home with him. Deputies say he will likely face animal neglect charges as well. The four teenagers will be placed into the care of Child Protective Services. Fresno Humane has been working with deputies to rescue the animals in the most need. Investigators say it will take several days to rescue the rest on the property. The Central California SPCA is taking over the
