The annual Morro Bay Kite Festival continued on Saturday. The free weekend-long event has brought kids of all ages to Morro Rock. Hundreds of lighter-than-air crafts took to the sky with candy drops happening twice a day to keep the energy soaring. KSBY spoke with some participants about their favorite kites. “Over there there are some kites… I didn’t know that big of a kite existed but I like all the octopuses cause the legs are kind of flailing in the wind, said Kajal Gogri, a Cal Poly student. This event marks the 20th anniversary of the Morro Bay Kite Festival aimed at creating lifelong memories and family traditions for locals and visitors alike.

Airlines will now be required to give automatic cash refunds for canceled flights and those that are significantly delayed. Some good news for air travelers was released on Wednesday by the Department of Transportation, as they announced the new rules requiring airlines to automatically give cash refunds to passengers for canceled and significantly delayed flights. I think it’s a great idea, said Kristen Feavel, a Templeton resident. Feavel flies at least three times a month for work and has experienced many setbacks over the years. Overnight delays and cancellations, Feavel continued. Fortunately, there is good news for fliers like Feavel. The new airline rules will require automatic cash refunds when flights are canceled or significantly changed, checked bags are significantly delayed, or extra services purchased are not provided. The refunds must be automatic, prompt, cash or original form of payment, and full amount. To be compensated quickly and for there to be a transparent way to take care of that, I think its a real win for the consumer, Feavel said. The Transportation Department defines a significant delay as lasting at least three hours for

Tensions rose on the USC campus Saturday after pro-Palestinian protesters returned with tents and reestablished an encampment in Alumni Park, where 93 people were arrested on Wednesday. They beat drums and put up banners reading “Free Palestine,” “We are all Gaza,” and “Stop Funding Genocide.” Shortly after 8 p.m., the university announced that it had closed its main campus to the public. “Due to a disturbance, the University Park Campus is temporarily closed except for residents,” USC said on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. The school said the disturbance was at the center of campus and urged people to “please avoid that part area until further notice.” The university’s Department of Public Safety sent text alerts to students saying the campus “was temporarily closed except for residents.” The Los Angeles Police Department, which had issued a tactical alert Saturday evening, sent dozens of squad cars to the campus Saturday night. They arrived with lights flashing, and students said the officers had handcuffs and zip ties. Later, students said they saw the police leave the area, while dozens of protesters ate dinner

Los angelinos no le ganaban a los campeones defensores de la NBA desde el 16 de diciembre de 2022, evitando caer por doceava ocasión. “Tenemos otra oportunidad de jugar una vez más y si ganamos, volveremos y jugaremos otra vez y seguiremos de ahí”, dijo Austin Reaves al final del compromiso. “Cada vez que podamos mantener nuestras cabezas fuera del agua, tenemos la oportunidad de hacer algo especial”. Los angelinos saben que reman contra la corriente, pues los Nuggets han demostrado la casta de campeón y en sus peores momentos han logrado sacar juegos a su favor. LeBron James lideró a los Lakers con 30 puntos, cinco rebotes y cuatro asistencias en 39 minutos de juego, acompañado por una gran labor en los tableros de Anthony Davis que atrapó 23 rebotes y se apuntó con 25 puntos y seis asistencias. “La única oportunidad para

The Los Angeles Police Department issued a city-wide tactical alert in response to a disturbance at the University of Southern California campus Saturday night. The school issued a statement at 8:15 p.m. saying the University Park campus was temporarily closed to everyone except for residents. A growing number of protestors continued to increase the size of the encampment, where pro-Palestinian demonstrators are voicing their opposition to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Protestors are calling for a ceasefire after roughly 34,000 people — mostly civilians — have been killed in Gaza. Much of the campus was on lockdown, with the LAPD enforcing the closure to non-residents. KTLA 5’s Chris Wolfe received reports that there was some vandalism at the school on Saturday. USC has seen increased tensions in recent weeks due to pro-Palestinian protests in response to the war in Gaza. A group called the People’s City Council used social media to call for protestors to continue to arrive on the campus. On April 15, USC canceled its Class of 2024 valedictorian’s speech due to safety issues after pro-Israel groups accused her of being antisemitic. Asna Tabassum was

LeBron James, in the Lakers’ white uniform, stood at the scorer’s table, filled his hands with chalk and tossed it into the evening air — the same as always. Yet Saturday, even if it was like the previous 11 meetings with the Denver Nuggets, was always going to be different. Before Saturday, a loss didn’t mean the Lakers might make a coaching change. Before Saturday, a loss didn’t mean the Lakers were going to have to reimagine their roster. Before Saturday, a loss didn’t mean James might’ve thrown that chalk into the air for the last time as a Laker. The stakes were so high — but the feeling was so familiar. With 12 minutes left — two hours or so since James threw the powder into the air — the Lakers were at that point again. Stand or fall. Resist or crumble. Lead or lose. Back to Denver or off to Cancún. For the first time in this Western Conference playoff series — really for the first time since the end of the 2022 season — the Lakers didn’t fall apart against the Nuggets’
