I won’t ask if you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on with food in the U.S. Who could possibly avoid getting smacked in the face nearly every day with the high cost of feeding a family? I just read that the average cost of ground beef in the U.S. is hitting an all-time high. I believe it, and not only beef. It is shocking how grocery prices have skyrocketed, which underscores the need for a well-stocked pantry. The way to fight back is twofold: Eat the sales, and eat at home. That means only putting items in the cart that are on sale (my benchmark is 30% discount), and preparing and eating that food at home. I know — it sounds so easy. And it can be if you make sure your kitchen pantry is well stocked. It’s annoying and expensive not to have basic items on hand. You don’t have what you need and don’t have time to go get it, which means, of course, you’ll have to go out for dinner. Again. Taking the time and effort to make sure you always

Red Bluff —  The booming baritone voice is unmistakable. If you’ve been to the Red Bluff Round-Up, you’ve heard it. The voice of Bob Tallman, co-announcer of the Round-Up, booms from the announcer’s stand for three days in April. Tallman, with his warm, personable approach to calling a rodeo, has called the action in Red Bluff since 1978. He almost became a golf pro instead of going into rodeo. Bob Tallman has announced the Red Bluff Round-Up since 1978. The Texas man has announced some of the biggest rodeos in the nation. (Red Bluff Round-Up/Contributed) At age 14, the sheriff caught him and his buddies at the golf course in his hometown of Winnemucca, Nev., stealing range balls and knocking out lights. “Our punishment,” he remembers, “was cleaning clubs and picking up range balls for a week.” When the week was finished, Tallman stayed on, shining shoes, driving carts, “and playing with pros every day. I learned how to golf,” he said. And he was good. He could hit the ball 300 yards, and the golf pros took notice of him. “I was a cowboy,”

Last week, I wrote about Bill Plummer, who I competed against in high school baseball and basketball some 60 years ago.  Bill Plummer was a natural athlete who did everything well.  I, on the other hand, was at or below average in everything I did. Bill Plummer went on to enjoy a ten-year career in the major leagues, winning a World Series championship along the way.  I did not.  Bill Plummer was an exceptional athlete.  In spite of what I would have you believe, I was and still am exceptional…  at nothing at all.  Today, I write about other professional athletes with whom I have crossed paths over the past 70 years. When I entered high school in 1958, I did what any other slow-footed, emaciated 93-pound weakling would do — I tried out for the freshman football team.  It may surprise you to learn that I actually was a quarterback on that team. It will not surprise you to learn that as the backup quarterback, I ran on the field in hopes of leading my team to victory… for exactly two plays the entire

REEDLEY, Calif. (KFSN) — 18-year-old Malachi Rios, a senior at Reedley High School, is once again fighting for his life. His battle against cancer began in late 2022 when he was diagnosed with stage IV testicular cancer that metastasized to his back and lungs. When Malachi went into remission by May of 2023, he was determined to return to the football field, and he did. “Right when season was starting to begin, he found out that it came back. Through a lot of headstrong will from him, the doctors decided to give him two games and he took advantage of those two games,” said Tony Gates, head football coach at Reedley High School. He scored in both of those games, then faced down his toughest opponent a second time. After undergoing heavy chemotherapy in San Francisco, meant to knock the cancer out, he got a devastating prognosis. “At this point, all the treatments that are available to him failed, they’re basically deeming him incurable at this point,” said Gates. Incurable by chemo and radiation, Malachi and his family are praying for a miracle. They started

On March 7, 1970, millions across North America were able to catch a glimpse of a total solar eclipse. Charles Kuralt anchored CBS News’ special report “Earth in the Shadow of the Moon.”

While the Sacramento River Cats opened their season last week, the remainder of the Giants’ minor-league affiliates are set to get under way in the coming days, which means they set their rosters and finalized the assignments for the organization’s top prospects. The team’s first-round pick from last summer, first baseman Bryce Eldridge, will begin the year at Single-A San Jose, but he might not be there for long. The 6-foot-7 teenager moved quickly in his introduction to pro ball last summer with eye-popping exit velocities and an advanced approach at the plate. The San Jose roster is populated with a number of other top picks from last year’s draft. Sharing the infield will be Cole Foster, their third-round pick, and Maui Ahuna, selected in the fourth round, who is fully healthy after playing through a back injury while leading Tennessee on its run to the College World Series. That delayed his pro debut until this spring, and impressed he enough in his first camp to earn a spot on the travel roster for a few Cactus League games. Foster, another college shortstop, from Auburn
