CORNING — The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians announced Wednesday that they had acquired the Mad River Brewery from the Yurok Tribe in Northwestern California. Based in Blue Lake, California, Mad River Brewery has distinguished itself as a producer of premium craft beers, recognized for their quality and dedication to environmental stewardship. In November 2021, The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians opened The Paskenta Brewery and Distillery, becoming the first tribal-owned distillery in California. With the acquisition of Mad River Brewery, the Paskenta Tribe continues to build its economic portfolio. Tribal Chairman Andrew Alejandre said acquiring Mad River Brewery is another milestone in Paskenta’s commitment to building an economically sustainable future for the ribe and serving as an economic growth driver. “We have enjoyed great community response since opening Paskenta Brewery & Distillery,” Alejandre said. “Now, with the acquisition of Mad River Brewery, we are honored to extend our expertise in blending tribal identity and craft beer to the Northern California community and tribes across the nation. As we continue to innovate, we proudly lead the way in crafting beers and spirits within Indian Country.” In

Dear Cheapskate: With two little boys, my husband and I are paying through the roof for daycare. It seems like almost all the money I earn goes to child care, so I’ve been thinking of quitting my job and staying home with the kids. I’m enthusiastic at the thought of spending more time with them, but I also want to be sure my family will be OK financially. Is there an easy way to make sure the decision is right for us? — Monica, Pennsylvania Dear Monica: I think you’re on to something. But before you make any rash decisions, do this: Write down a figure that represents your monthly net (take-home) pay. Now deduct from that all of your work-related costs, including day care, transportation, clothes, lunches, gifts, office supplies and anything else you can come up with that would go away if you stay at home. But wait, there’s more. Consider all the expenses you have because you work, like more fast food, take-out and restaurant meals because you’re too tired to cook. Do you hire help for the yard work or housecleaning?

A few years ago, a bunch of people tried to erase the memory of Christopher Columbus. Actually, that’s not entirely true. What they really wanted to do was to defame him and turn him into a caricature of a genocidal colonialist, completely manipulating the historical facts to fit their post-George Floyd sensitivities. I remember standing in the middle of Marconi Plaza in Philadelphia, in front of the Columbus statue, along with other like-minded Italian Americans. We all gathered to prevent the then-mayor’s attempts to remove the one-and-a-half centuries-old statue from its place of honor. I also remember seeing some self-defined Italian Americans marching along with their Antifa allies, saying things like “not in my name” and “Columbus shames Italians.” It was a bit of a gut punch to see people who allegedly shared my proud heritage walking arm-in-arm with those who were slandering one of our great heroes. This was, I thought, nothing more than masochism and self-hatred. I had that same feeling last week watching the Oscars. When Jonathan Glazer got up to accept his well-deserved Oscar for Best Foreign Film, “Zone of Interest,”

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — March is National Kidney Month — a time dedicated to raising awareness about kidney disease prevention and treatment options. According to doctors, dialysis or a kidney transplant are the only options when a person’s kidneys fail. “Being just a coworker, you wouldn’t say ‘One day, this person is gonna give me a kidney.’ Yeah, that’s never in your mind,” Frank Marquez said. However, for Marquez and Sandy Williams, that’s exactly what happened. The two started working together at DaVita Dialysis Center in 2012, and they quickly became friends. “Frank, he’s the kind of guy that he is just so caring and loving,” Williams shared. “Everybody knows Frank. Everybody loves him. He just has a big heart.” Throughout their friendship, Marquez told Williams about his health issues — which included heart and kidney diseases. “I just said ‘Yeah, my health is not that great. If I do, I might have to do dialysis,” Marquez recalled. Williams responded: “Well, Frank, why don’t I see if I’m a match for you? He was like ‘Really? Are you sure?’ I go ‘Yeah, yeah, of course.'”

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Tax documents show how the salary of Valley Children’s CEO compares to other regional hospital systems across the Valley. The documents reveal that many of those hospital leaders make far less than the CEO of Valley Children’s in Madera. Todd Suntrapak is facing criticism this week amid reports about his pay. Two Fresno City Council members calling for an investigation into what they call an “astonishingly excessive” salary. According to tax documents obtained by Action News, Suntrapak received more than $5.1 million in compensation in 2021. A breakdown of his benefits shows a $1.7 million base salary with an additional $3.4 million in bonuses and more. The hospital also gave Suntrapak a $5-million loan as part of a retention plan. Reports say the loan was used to purchase a home in Carmel. Dr. Ge Bai is a professor at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, where she researches nonprofit hospitals for the Carey Business School. She says loans as part of a compensation package for executives are not uncommon. “I would definitely say – I think it’s safe to say this

The company said the move would affect 2% of its total policies in California.

Tuesday, March 26, 2024 5:22AM Lawmakers, Fresno State educators and students gathered at the peace garden on campus to honor the late civil rights activist Cesar Chavez on Thursday. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Lawmakers, Fresno State educators and students gathered at the peace garden on campus to honor the late civil rights activist Cesar Chavez on Thursday. Attendees were greeted by traditional Mexican dancers and mariachi performers. After the performances, Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula spoke to the crowds of people. For him, Cesar Chavez’s work hits close to home. “Many of us have our own immigrant story about how we came here to the United States. Especially here in the Central Valley. And we look towards leaders like Cesar Chavez who stood up for the rights and dignity that we all deserve,” said Arambula. Cesar Chavez founded the United Farm Workers of America and dedicated his life to improving the rights of farm workers until his death in 1993. Arambula and event organizers said Chavez was an icon — and that’s why they’ve continued to honor the Mexican American labor leader at the university for 30

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ismael Munguia, a Giants’ outfield prospect and 5 feet, 8 inches of energy, has opened more eyes than just manager Bob Melvin this spring. On Thursday, the 25-year-old Nicaraguan was named the winner of the prestigious Barney Nugent Award. Voted on by his peers in the clubhouse, the honor is bestowed each spring on the player in his first major-league camp whose performance and dedication “best exemplifies the San Francisco Giants spirit.” Homering for his first hit of the spring, Munguia made an instant impression that only grew from there. In 17 games entering Thursday, he had scored 13 runs and was batting .467/.500/.767 with a double, a triple, a pair of home runs and four stolen bases while playing all three outfield positions. “He got a pretty big ovation in (the clubhouse),” Melvin said. “Originally I didn’t know how many at-bats he was going to get. He’s getting in there almost everyday now. He’s been well received here in camp and is earning all the reps he’s been getting.” Asked to describe Munguia’s style of play, Melvin used the words “aggressive”

By ZEKE MILLER and SEUNG MIN KIM (Associated Press) HOUSTON (AP) — “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Rarely have voters’ answers to that question been so complicated. Former President Donald Trump asked the time-tested question of his supporters in all-caps Monday on his Truth Social platform. President Joe Biden did the same three times over this week during a trio of Texas fundraisers as he closed out a swing through the southwest. Each candidate is hoping the answer skews in his favor — but the verdict may well hinge on whether people are reflecting back on the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of their pocketbooks or some broader sense of well-being. Four years ago, the country was in the throes of a nationwide shutdown due to the coronavirus, with surging joblessness and a cratering stock market. Now the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees are hurtling toward a rematch in which the virus for most Americans is but a traumatic memory, markets are up and unemployment is at or near record lows. If the handling of the once-in-a-century outbreak defined the

By SEAN MURPHY (Associated Press) OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — No criminal charges will be filed against the Oklahoma teens involved in a high school bathroom fight with Nex Benedict, the nonbinary 16-year-old whose death following the altercation was ruled a suicide, the county district attorney said Thursday. Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said in a statement that after reviewing the investigation by the Owasso Police Department, he agreed with an assessment from detectives that the fight between the teen and three girls was an “instance of mutual combat” and that charges were not warranted. “When I review a report and make a decision to file a charge I must be convinced — as is every prosecutor — that a crime was committed and that I have reasonable belief that a judge or jury would be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed,” Kunzweiler said. “From all the evidence gathered, this fight was an instance of mutual combat.” Kunzweiler also said Owasso police uncovered a “suicide note” written by Benedict, although he declined to say what the note said. The state medical

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER (Associated Press) BOSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered the judge who oversaw Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s trial to investigate the defense’s claims of juror bias and determine whether his death sentence should stand. A three-judge panel of the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did not throw out Tsarnaev’s death sentence. Defense lawyers had pushed for that while claiming bias by two people who sat on the jury that convicted him for his role in the bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds near the marathon’s finish line in 2013. But the appeals court found that the trial judge did not adequately probe Tsarnaev’s allegations, and sent the case back to the judge for a new investigation. If the judge finds that either juror should have been disqualified, he should vacate Tsarnaev’s sentence and hold a new penalty-phase trial to determine whether Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death, the appeals court said. “And even then, we once again emphasize that the only question in any such proceeding will be whether Tsarnaev will face execution;

BEREKELY – Linebacker Jackson Sirmon is undaunted by the NFL Draft bubble, as are myriad prospects across the country, looking to land their dream job out of college. “I’d love — and it wouldn’t surprise me — to get drafted,” Sirmon said after Cal’s pro day workout Thursday. “But it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m just excited to be with a franchise and get to show what I can do on a football field.” Two years ago, a quarterback out of Iowa State almost wasn’t drafted, then was claimed by the 49ers with the 262nd and final pick. That didn’t stop Brock Purdy’s meteoric rise to becoming a Super Bowl quarterback. An inspirational tale for any NFL hopeful? Of course. “It’s really neat to see,” Sirmon said. “But it’s different for different positions. At quarterback, that’s a pretty unique thing to happen. “At linebacker, it’s a little more common for guys to go undrafted or get drafted late, then really have great careers and take advantage of opportunities.” His dad, Peter Sirmon, was a 2000 fourth-round draft pick who spent seven seasons as a
