Offi­cials with Tulare Regional Med­ical Cen­ter insist that all is well after sched­uled direct deposit pay­checks failed to make it into their employ­ees’ accounts Thurs­day morn­ing.
The hos­pi­tal dis­trict is Tulare’s third largest employer, with about 420 peo­ple on staff.
In a memo sent out to employ­ees this morn­ing, Pat Math­ew­son, the district’s interim CEO, blamed the prob­lem on a “direct deposit error.”

Tulare offi­cials think they have found money to build an over­pass link­ing east and west por­tions of the Santa Fe Trail. “There’s a spe­cial pot of money for these kinds of over­passes,” City Man­ager Don Dor­man said, refer­ring to the state’s Propo­si­tion 84 bond issue for streets and roads. “That’s pretty big news, peo­ple have talked about that for a long time and it looks like some­thing that could hap­pen,” Dor­man said.

It was a shock­ing way to start the day for Sal­va­tion Army Envoy Jesus Quin­tanilla on Thurs­day. When he arrived at the Visalia Sal­va­tion Army office at 6:30 a.m., the com­puter, musi­cal instru­ments, a pro­jec­tor and recently bought micro­phones from the chapel and a safe were miss­ing — all taken dur­ing an overnight bur­glary. Pre­lim­i­nary esti­mates place the loss at $15,000.

Area police are warn­ing seniors of an ongo­ing scam that’s already tar­geted an elderly cou­ple. Police say the scam involves a man and a woman who offer to do yard work, but instead man­age to talk their way inside the victim’s home. A 91-year-old Fresno cou­ple had their money and jew­elry stolen when they let the cou­ple inside. Police believe the sus­pects are tar­get­ing other seniors as well.

Tulare County Sheriff’s Depart­ment deputies made two arrests in con­nec­tion with a break-in at a north of Tulare home Mon­day. Keon Poles, 38, and Thomas Richard­son, 57, were booked into the Tulare County Main Jail on sus­pi­cion of res­i­den­tial burglary.

The city of Lind­say has agreed to repay $1 mil­lion in money it col­lected from Mea­sure R sales tax funds used for a down­town revi­tal­iza­tion project.

Audi­tors hired by Lind­say and the county deter­mined that was the amount the city over­billed the county when it sought reim­burse­ment from Mea­sure R funds for the project.
