Eagles get better of Hawks baseball

Wendy Alexander/The Madera Tribune Liberty’s Trevor Porter reaches down for a pitch to drive it into center for a single during Tuesday’s loss to Immanuel. The Immanuel-Reedley Eagles scored five runs in the second and didn’t look back to record a 12-1 victory over the Liberty Hawks baseball team in the Firebaugh Preseason Tournament at Liberty. The Hawks tried to battle, but were saddled by mistakes and an inside-the-park home run gave the Eagles all the runs they needed Tue

Opinion: Election over for the time-being

My favorite city to visit is damaged because of the tornado that ravished Nashville this week. Early Tuesday I received word my family, Pete and Nada Kirk and their daughter Lori and husband Van Woody, are safe. They had heavy rain and wind but that was the extent of it for them. We are truly blessed they came through it mostly unscathed. My friends Joan and Randy Lewis, formerly of Madera, have children in Nashville and they are safe as well. Prayers for all those terrorized

Opinion: Moved-up primary succeeds as state exerts significant influence

It turns out California’s politicians were right: they advanced the state’s presidential primary election from its traditional June date to the earliest time available under Democratic Party rules to attain more national influence, and they achieved that goal. First, 13 other states quickly followed California onto March 3, creating a coast-to-coast Super Tuesday that still left the Golden State’s pot of delegates the day’s biggest prize. That’s influence. In turn, this force

Determination defined the Montagna family

Madera County Historical Society Leone Montagna, father of Mario Montagna. When I read in The Tribune that Mario Montagna departed this life to join his wife, Jeanette, my mind jumped back to a time over a decade ago when I was interviewing them about their lives in Madera. It was pure elixir; I have it all recorded. I wish I could play it for you. The best I can do is to share some of the highlights that stuck with me. The story began with Mario’s parents. It took determinat

Opinion: Worries on virus, and Facebook

This comment on the Corona Virus, from Harrison Dedmon, puts the Corona virus scare (world wide) in perspective: “One of the worst days so far for the Coronavirus (COVID-19) was the 10th of February. On that day, 108 people in China died of the coronavirus. BUT, on that same day about 1,500 people died of Cancer, about 2,200 people died of Heart Disease, 228 people died of complications of diabetes, and on that day, suicide, unfortunately, took more lives than the virus did b

City kisses mistletoe goodbye to preserve urban forest

Courtesy of Joseph Carello City staff prune mistletoe clusters from trees on Mainberry Drive. When not helping to make the season bright, mistletoe spends its days wreaking havoc on the well-being of a tree near you.

According to Parks and Community Servic
