The Morro Bay Kite Festival returns this weekend. The family-friendly event is scheduled to take place all weekend Friday night and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Hundreds of kites will take flight throughout the weekend, with 500 free kites provided to kids through Central Coast Funds for Children. “It’s just an amazing event,” said Shaun Farmer, the founder of the Morro Bay Kite Festival. “Where you can come with your family enjoy relax.” The Friday night flight will include kites with LED lights. Event organizers tried to do a night flight last year which didn’t end up working out. This year may be the first successful attempt if the wind cooperates. “There’s something about being in control of that kite up in the air and watching it fly,” Farmer said. “It’s just soothing … I tell people all the time: ‘You want to lose stress? Go fly a kite.'” The event is free to attend for community members of all ages. You can learn more on the Morro Bay Kite Festival website.

The 30th annual San Luis Obispo International Film Festival is taking place through April 30. Skye McLennan, the executive director for the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, says the six-day event has something for everyone. I would say that we truly have something for everyone, said McLennan. We have narratives, documentaries, short films. We have films about sports like surfing, skateboarding this year. Theres no genre that we dont cover here at the festival. Even horror actually. She says seeing the audience’s reaction makes all the effort worth it. Seeing people laugh, cry, enjoy themselves, said McLennan. Thats what we work all year long on is bringing the people together. It means so much. The directors and writers told KSBY News that it’s an honor to participate in the festival. This is terrific, said David R. Hardberger, “Homecoming” short film director. Im glad that theyre doing this here. It gives independence. It gives people like myself short films. It gives people an opportunity to get out there and see it. Its stunning,” said Kelly OSullivan, “Ghostlight” film director and writer. “Even just walking into

Los Lakers volvieron a tener ventaja de dos dígitos este jueves, al igual que los primeros dos encuentros de la primera ronda de los playoffs contra los Nuggets de Denver, pero de la misma forma que en el Juego 1 y 2, volvieron a caer ante los actuales campeones de la NBA. La última versión de ese colapso ocurrió este jueves en casa en la derrota por 112-105 en el Juego 3 de la serie de playoffs, dejando a Los Ángeles a un solo paso de la eliminación. El cuarto partido de esta serie, de siete juegos a ganar cuatro, está programado para el sábado a las 5:30 p.m. (ABC) en Los Ángeles. Ningún equipo en la historia de los playoffs de la NBA se ha levantado de una desventaja de 3-0 en una serie. “Nuestra mentalidad ahora es ganar uno. Ganamos uno y luego vamos pensando de ahí hacia delante. Necesitamos ganar el sábado”, expresó Anthony Davis con más desilusión que desesperación en su voz. Y es fácil estar desilusionado cuando los Lakers llegaron a estar arriba por 12 puntos en el Juego 1

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Jesus “Chuy” Juarez was only 17 when he enlisted in the Marine Corps. He’d convinced his parents to sign a waiver so recruiters would allow him to sign up, and he served for three years during the Vietnam War. While taking part in a military training exercise, he fell off a truck and was badly hurt. The injuries he suffered on that day were misdiagnosed and never treated properly, according to family and friends. After 17 years, deported veteran who helped others like him, finally returns home to US “That accident back in 1975 caused him a life from that point forward of pain,” said Robert Vivar, of the Unified U.S. Deported Veterans Resource Center. “He struggled to be able to deal with the pain from the injuries he sustained.” Robert Vivar is with the Unified U.S. Deported Veterans Resource Center. (Salvador Rivera/Border Report) Juarez also struggled with being away from home. He was raised in Sherman Heights near downtown San Diego. But he was deported for having undocumented migrants in his car and would spend almost 30 years waiting

The Lakers were unable to hold a double-digit lead for the third consecutive game, losing to the Denver Nuggets, 112-105, Thursday evening at Crypto.com Arena in an NBA Western Conference first-round series. Aaron Gordon led four Nuggets in double figures with 29 points, and had a game-high equaling 15 rebounds, while Nikola Jokic scored 24 points, also pulled down 15 rebounds and had a game-high equaling nine assists and Jamal Murray scored 22 points with nine assists as Denver took a three games to none lead. Game 3 of the best-of-seven series will be played Saturday at Crypto.com Arena. All 151 teams that have won the first three games of a best-of-seven series have gone on to win the series. Denver trailed 53-49 at halftime. The Nuggets took their first lead, 58-55, 1 minute, 53 seconds into the second half after Murray scored five points during a 7-0 run.

A woman is set to plead guilty Friday in Los Angeles federal court to charges alleging she used counterfeit postage to ship millions of parcels in a scheme prosecutors say caused the U.S. Postal Service to lose over $60 million. Lijuan “Angela” Chen, 51, of Walnut, has agreed to enter her plea to federal counts of conspiracy and forging and counterfeiting postage stamps, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Chen allegedly provided shipping and postage services to businesses, including e-commerce vendors operating out of China, that sought discounted USPS rates for mailing their products within the United States, according to papers filed in Los Angeles federal court. “Multiple examinations conducted by USPS and USPIS staff have revealed that the vast majority of the postage used by Chen and her business to ship goods within the United States is counterfeit,” prosecutors wrote, referring to the United States Postal Inspection Service, the federal law enforcement, crime prevention and security arm of the U.S. Postal Service. Chen’s Industry-based business received parcels from the vendors and others, applied shipping labels showing postage purportedly paid, then arranged for the parcels

Experts say that as rents have declined in some cities in Southern California, a region where most residents pay more than one-third of their income for leased housing, now could be a good time to ask your landlord for a rent reduction.   “Landlords, just out of the gate, are not going to offer to lower your rent, full stop. That very rarely happens,” rental expert Jonas Bordo told KTLA’s Kacey Montoya.   The author of “Everything You Need to Know About Renting But Didn’t Know to Ask,” Bordo says many renters believe the price is set in stone and are unaware that their monthly payments are flexible.  “The first thing to know is that your landlord doesn’t set the rent. It’s set by the market,” he explained. “It’s the landlord’s job to try to figure out what market rent is, but they generally don’t know. Usually, the renter has a much better sense of what the real normal rent should be for that rental.”  According to the author, getting your rent lowered is possible, but 90% of tenants never ask.   “It’s kind of like buying

After a six-hour standoff, two people, including the suspect, are dead after a gunman opened fire at an Anaheim senior living complex on Thursday. The deadly shooting happened at the Tyrol Plaza Senior Apartments located near State College Boulevard and Vermont Avenue at around 3:40 p.m. The female victim, who was not identified, is the manager of the apartment complex. A witness, Joe Guerrero, said he was speaking with the manager at the leasing office when the suspect suddenly entered the room. The suspect, who lives in the complex, approached them and shot the manager multiple times at close range. “He just came up to her and shot her four times,” Guerrero said. “I just can’t believe what happened. I thought he was going to shoot me next, but he just looked at me and took off.” Two people are dead, including the gunman, after a shooting at a Anaheim senior apartment complex on April 25, 2024.

It’s a colossal climb the Lakers are on, trouble lurking at every step. One bad dribble, and Denver runs the other direction, creating an open three. One missed assignment, and Aaron Gordon cuts baseline for a dunk. One whiffed box out and the Nuggets get a second, and sometimes, a third chance. One missed shot, and the margins get tighter, the chances get smaller, the ending gets closer. One more tough night and the season will be done. Boos started to fill Crypto.com Arena by the fourth quarter of Game 3 on Thursday, this time coming after a mistake on a screen led to an open Denver dunk. Reality had set in — one that probably should’ve been realized sooner. The fact that the Lakers have been close to beating the Nuggets in the last 11 games has been no consolation. In fact, it probably makes it worse. The climb they face has been too steep, too slippery and, again, too hard for this team to conquer. Denver, like it always seems to do, was always there to gleefully capitalize on every Lakers mistake, every

The Chargers’ expressed desire to become a more physical, bullish team continued Thursday when they used the No. 5 pick in the draft on offensive tackle Joe Alt. General manager Joe Hortiz and coach Jim Harbaugh touted Alt’s size — he’s listed at 6 feet 9 and 321 pounds by the NFL — and athletic ability, Hortiz calling it “elite” and Harbaugh “extreme.” Alt also just turned 21 at the end of February, and the Chargers believe that they’ve added a player who still is developing in ways both measurable and significant. “You’re talking about a guy who’s still growing and maturing,” Hortiz said. “The upside with him is tremendous.” Alt is expected to take over at right tackle, with 2021 Pro Bowler Rashawn Slater on the left side. At Notre Dame, Alt began as a right tackle in his first fall camp before switching sides for the balance of his three college seasons. Trey Pipkins III has been the Chargers’ right tackle the last two years, but he struggled with consistency last season. Still, Harbaugh said he believes Pipkins remains one of their top
