Rondy Packard Sr., 70, was reported missing after he failed to return from a fishing trip on the morning of June 28. A resident reported seeing him that afternoon driving his Nissan pickup truck eastbound on Trimmer Springs Road near Pine Flat Lake.  A Fresno man's dog likely saved his life by waking him when a fire broke out behind his home on the Fourth of July. The blaze, which damaged the house, vehicles, and a nearby vacant home, is believed to have been caused by fireworks and was one of at least 14 residential fires Fresno firefighters responded to in a two-hour span that night.  What started as a holiday celebration in Newport Beach turned into a major public-safety incident, resulting in 402 arrests, a massive police response, multiple fires, injuries, and property damage.  Fresno firefighters faced one of their busiest nights of the year on the Fourth of July, responding to 203 fire-related incidents and multiple house fires linked to illegal fireworks. At least three homes were damaged, and emergency resources became so stretched that crews briefly suspended medical-aid responses while fighting fires across the city.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Philip Teresi sits down with Fresno City Manager Georgeanne White. The City of Fresno has officially regained control of Granite Park Sports Complex after evicting the nonprofit Central Valley Community Sports Foundation (CVCSF), which had operated the facility for about a decade. On June 30, city officials and locksmiths changed the locks at the city-owned complex on Cedar Avenue and took possession of the property. For questions or concerns regarding Granite Park, call: 559-621-5366  After winning the legal battle to regain control of Granite Park, Fresno became responsible for managing reservations, field rentals, and facility operations. City officials said a formal fee schedule was required in order to legally collect fees from sports leagues and event organizers using the complex. City Manager Georgeanne White said the city intends to operate Granite Park similarly to the Regional Sports Complex in southwest Fresno and honor existing reservations to avoid disruptions for users.

Fourth of July celebrations in the Central Valley are becoming more expensive due to higher costs for groceries, fireworks, and fuel. While gas prices have recently declined, a new gas-tax increase and heavy holiday travel may offset some of those savings. Meanwhile, families can expect to pay more for traditional barbecue foods and fireworks compared with last year.  Trump argued that falling oil prices should translate into much cheaper gasoline and warned retailers against what he described as price gouging. He called for prices near $2.50 per gallon, threatened unspecified “big problems” for retailers that do not lower prices, and said the Justice Department is already examining whether consumers are being overcharged.  Central Valley Honor Flight continues to provide memorable Washington, D.C., trips for local veterans, but organizers say future flights depend on community support. While August and September flights are secure, the October trip faces a $150,000 funding shortfall and could be canceled unless additional donations are received.   Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

A legal dispute between Reedley farmer Cesar Mora and Giumarra Brothers Fruit Company has left Mora unable to sell a large crop of white nectarines.

A JetBlue Airbus A321 arriving from Las Vegas reported a possible collision with a drone while on final approach to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on June 29, 2026. The pilot told air traffic control that the object struck the aircraft "right above the cockpit" at about 3,000 feet altitude, approximately 10–12 miles from the airport.  The U.S. Supreme Court announced on June 30, 2026, that it will hear a major Second Amendment case to determine whether state and local bans on AR-15-style rifles and other semiautomatic "assault weapons" are constitutional.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram 

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia faced a fresh round of pressure on Tuesday as Ukraine launched another attack on the Russian capital, continued to disrupt Russian fuel supplies and pressed its campaign to cut off Crimea, the peninsula Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014.  Putin could be "forced to surrender," but the underlying story is really about whether Ukraine's expanding drone campaign, pressure on Russian logistics, and economic difficulties can push Russia toward negotiations. Analysts cited in the report argue this may be Ukraine's strongest position in years, though Russia still retains substantial military and economic capacity and the war's outcome remains far from settled.  The Post's editorial argues that alleged influence-based business dealings by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and associates deserve the same scrutiny that Republicans previously directed at Hunter Biden. The board's central message is that ethical standards should apply equally to both political families, regardless of party.  Happy Birthday Cpl. Mel Brooks, U.S. Army (Ret). A man that taught the world to laugh about some of the hardest periods in history through his deep understanding of what it was like to live through it.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram 

Trump is pressuring gasoline retailers to cut pump prices quickly, arguing that recent declines in crude-oil prices should be reflected at gas stations. He suggested prices should move toward $2.50 per gallon, warned against alleged price gouging, and has directed the Justice Department to investigate whether fuel sellers are keeping prices artificially high.  For all the pollyannish blather of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other administration officials, there has been no regime change in Iran. Many regime leaders were killed at the beginning of combat operations in late February, in combined American-Israeli operations.  In the span of little more than a week, the Iranian regime has broken just about every promise it made in the memorandum of understanding. Not only did the Iranians sign a document promising the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts” and “not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other,” they also agreed to “refrain from the threat or use of force against each other.”  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Even users who previously paid for the content will lose access, and no refund program has been announced. The move has renewed concerns that many so-called digital "purchases" are actually revocable licenses rather than permanent ownership.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Buc-ee’s is expanding nationwide with 15 new mega travel centers planned—but none in California yet. Should Fresno try to land one?  This Supreme Court term produced major rulings on birthright citizenship, mail voting, transgender athletes, campaign finance, executive power, and digital privacy. While some decisions limited presidential actions, others expanded executive authority or reduced longstanding regulatory restrictions, making it one of the most consequential terms in recent years.

Michigan lawmakers voted unanimously to make it easier for kids to run lemonade stands by exempting qualifying child-run beverage stands from permits, licenses, and fees. Supporters say it protects a classic childhood entrepreneurial activity and removes unnecessary regulation from businesses earning less than $5,000 per year.  Comcast is breaking itself into two standalone public companies: one focused on internet and wireless connectivity, and another built around NBCUniversal, Peacock, Universal Studios, theme parks, and Sky. Wall Street welcomed the move because investors believe the two businesses may perform better—and be valued more highly—on their own.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram
