Keeler: Drew Timme’s new nightmare? A reunion with TCU’s JaKobe Coles.

Published Tue, 12 Nov 2024 03:36:50 GMT

Before you stick a fork in TCU, know this: The last time JaKobe Coles was asked to defend Gonzaga’s Drew Timme, he held the Zags star scoreless for more than six minutes straight.“We definitely don’t shy away from anything,” TCU forward Coles, Ball Arena’s late-night hero, told me inside the Horned Frogs locker room after his last-second teardrop cinched a 72-70 NCAA tourney win over Arizona State and shot the 6 seed into a Sunday tussle with the third-seeded Zags.“We’ve played the best teams. We’ve played in the biggest environments. We’re ready for this opportunity. We’re ready to win. And that’s what we’re looking forward to. Go back to the drawing board, get some rest, be ready for Sunday.”“So what do you know about Gonzaga?” I asked.The 6-foot-7 sophomore pondered for a second.“I know a couple of players,” Coles replied. “Drew Timme, I played his high school in the playoffs one time.”Yeah, but it was one heck of a time. Back in February 2019, Timme was a 6-foot-10 monster at Ri...

No salmon season: California diners will see other fish and higher-priced salmon filling the 2023 void

Published Tue, 12 Nov 2024 03:36:50 GMT

California’s 2023 salmon-fishing season is off. But wild salmon, always wildly popular with restaurant-goers, will still find its way onto Bay Area menus this year.It’s a matter of when, from where and — perhaps most important for consumers — at what price?After reading the news this week, Mark Matulich of the family-owned Steamers Grillhouse, a Los Gatos mainstay for more than 40 years — checked in with his seafood suppliers.“If we do get any wild king salmon, it’s going to have to come from Oregon, Washington or Alaska,” he said. And once additional shipping and handling charges are taken into account, he’s expecting “a significant increase in the price of what we can bring to the table.”Fabrice Poigin, culinary director of the King’s Seafood restaurants in Southern California and at Valley Fair in Santa Clara, remains confident he can supply what diners want. “We will be able to carry wild salmon throughout t...

Silicon Valley Bank: Now what? How Northern California wine is faring after the fallout

Published Tue, 12 Nov 2024 03:36:50 GMT

Siduri Wines and Clarice Wine Company founder Adam Lee was on a plane, midair over New Orleans last week, when he heard the news that his bank of 26 years was in trouble.But it wasn’t anger or fear that gripped him. Yes, he was nervous. He had a $70,000 balance with Silicon Valley Bank, the leading bank for California wineries, which collapsed Friday, creating the biggest bank failure since the Great Recession in 2008.But the overwhelming feeling, Lee says, was sadness and even worry about losing the critical and wide-ranging support the bank had offered him and others in the industry. Working with a bank with a Santa Rosa branch and a dedicated wine division of nearly 30 years meant those bankers cared about Lee’s day-to-day. They showed up, harvest after harvest, to sort grapes and feed the crew. His kids babysat wine division head Jed Taborski’s kids.“It was a relationship,” says Lee, who sold his Healdsburg winery, Siduri, to Jackson Family Wines in...

Gilroy: City considers allowing digital billboards despite resident opposition

Published Tue, 12 Nov 2024 03:36:50 GMT

Gilroy may soon allow two digital billboards to pop up along Highway 101 — a move some residents, environmentalists and astronomers aren’t too happy about.Digital advertising company Outfront Media and property owner Mike Conrotto want to build a billboard that would tower 75 feet on Conrotto’s land on the 6400 block of Automall Parkway. After the city’s planning commission denied their proposal, Outfront Media and Conrotto filed an appeal.On Monday evening, the Gilroy City Council will make the final decision.Residents concerned about the digital billboards complain they would be a distraction for drivers, add to light pollution, compete with local businesses and change Gilroy’s rural landscape. But Outfront Media and Conrotto assert the jumbo signs could be a boom for local businesses and tax revenue and “would not compromise the city’s culture and small-town quality.”In a Feb. 10 letter to the council, Conrotto said denying the appe...
