NTSB says police had 90 seconds to stop traffic, get people off Key Bridge

Local News By Kelsey Kushner , Rohan Mattu Updated on: March 28, 2024 / 6:48 AM EDT / CBS Baltimore NTSB: DALI had 764 tons of hazardous material before Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse NTSB: DALI had 764 tons of hazardous material before Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse 04:28 BALTIMORE – The National Transportation Safety Board provided a broader look Wednesday night into its investigation of the cargo ship hitting Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing its deadly collapse . Officials said police had just 90 seconds early Tuesday from when they received distress calls to cut the bridge off to traffic and to try to get people off. A police officer who was already in the area patrolling because of the work on the bridge tried to get construction workers off before it was too late, according to officials. Twenty-one members and two pilots were onboard DALI, a 948-foot vessel managed by Synergy Marine Group, a Singapore-based company with over 660 ships under management around the world, according to its website. The vessel had 56 containers — 764 tons – of corrosive, flammable material and

Bear that injured 5 shot dead, but critics say wrong bear killed

World Updated on: March 28, 2024 / 6:30 AM EDT / CBS/AFP Wild bear that attacked 5 on the loose Bear that attacked multiple people in Slovakia seen running across yard 00:20 Slovakia’s government on Wednesday said the bear that attacked five people in the country earlier this month was shot dead, as Bratislava drafted plans to ease bear cull restrictions. But opposition politicians said that a much smaller bear that had nothing to do with the rampage was actually killed.  The bear attack that left five people, including a 10-year-old girl, injured occurred in the center of Liptovsky Mikulas, a town nestled in the foothills of the Tatra mountains near popular ski resorts, the BBC reported. “A bear that injured five in Liptovsky Mikulas was successfully shot dead yesterday… A biometrics drone was used to identify it,” the environment minister Tomas Taraba said on social media on Wednesday. Bear attacks have been on the rise in the Central European country, with 20 such incidents last year, up from only eight in 2021, according to data from the environment ministry. This month, a woman from

Red Bluff police clean up River Park encampments

RED BLUFF — The Red Bluff Police Department cleaned up abandoned encampments at River Park on Tuesday. According to RBPD, five tons of Trash and abandoned encampments were removed from the park during the clean-up, from around 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Red Bluff Public Works, Tehama County Probation, and PATH assisted police personnel. The Red Bluff Police Department thanked these agencies for their assistance and collaboration. The Red Bluff City Council recently approved three camera trailers at River Park. The hope is that these cameras will deter vandalism and criminality. The proposed sites for the cameras are by the boat ramp restrooms, pool, and playground. If the trailers are moved, Sentry-Lite will be notified, and the company can send an officer to the GPS coordinator to apprehend them.

Phoam Foam Development | Red Bluff Garden Club

I begin this article with a caveat. I read this very interesting, complicated article, and I just want to share the information as I understand it. If you are interested in further information, please do more research and share it with us. If you have ever received a floral arrangement, you have seen foam blocks used to hold flowers in place.  You may have saved and reused it for your own purposes.  If you throw the foam block in the garbage, it is transported to the landfill, and it is still in the landfill. The traditional foam block is made from oil products, phenol, and formaldehyde, which break down into microplastics, which travel to our oceans and soil and eventually find their way into our food chain. The microplastics are less than 5 mm in size. The floral industry, florists, designers, and all who are concerned about our planet are interested in taking responsibility for the environment.  Not long ago, some members of our Cascade Arrangers Guild and garden club discussed this very problem of environmentally unfriendly foam.  How could we be more responsible for

Lyons named February science student | Snapshot

Senior Erica Lyons was the Red Bluff Science student of the month for February. Lyons has a GPA of 4.05 and has taken Environmental Science, Honors Chemistry, AP Biology, and Anatomy. She plans on attending Montana State University in Bozeman and will major in education with an emphasis on biology. She said what she loves is that there is still so much to be learned in the field of science and that all different forms of science are still fun. It is not boring like some other subjects and it is just really interesting to her. She says that she is inspired and motivated by her friends, teachers and what the future holds. “I become motivated to work harder because I want to have a good future where I am comfortable,” She said.

Bridge: March 28, 2024

In the Senior Mixed Pairs at the Fall NABC, South was Mark Itabashi, one of the ACBL’s most successful players. North-South slightly misjudged the auction. When North doubled, Itabashi thought his six-card spade suit made his hand worth a try for game. North thought she had enough to accept. The result was a spade game off two diamonds and the A-K of trumps. (Poor contracts can result when both players bid reasonably but boldly.) There would have been no story if West had led a diamond, but the actual lead was a heart. Itabashi won with the queen, took the A-K of clubs and continued with dummy’s queen. East ruffed low, and declarer overruffed and led a heart. CRASH West could and should have ruffed, but he was reluctant to spend his ace. So Itabashi won in dummy and led the jack of clubs, East ruffed with the ten, and Itabashi overruffed again and led a trump, crashing the defenders’ A-K. Making four! I can imagine the ensuing East-West conversation, but the lesson is to never give up. Hopeless contracts sometime succeed. DAILY QUESTION You

Ask Amy: I’ve been told my 11-year-old granddaughter was traumatized by our talk

Dear Amy: My two sons are not speaking to one another, after a fight that occurred during Christmas two years ago. The result is that my granddaughters don’t like their uncle and aunt. The girls are 11, 9 and 6. While they were staying overnight at my house last weekend, I told my granddaughters that I love both of my sons equally. They started to cry. The next day I apologized to their parents. I explained that I didn’t mean to offend anyone and asked for forgiveness. I thought that they had forgiven me until recently when my son said that the oldest daughter is scarred. He claims that I screamed at her and that she now needs therapy. He asked me to go to therapy, as well. I asked my sons to forgive one another and to move forward so that our family can be back to normal. They declined. Is there anything we can do to solve this? – Unforgiven Grandmother Dear Unforgiven: The old phrase “This will end in tears” perfectly describes the lasting impact of this long-ago fight. I’m going to

The 10 most expensive reported home sales in Palo Alto the week of March 18

Military Transport Ships Eyeing Port in Humboldt Bay

Humboldt Bay may soon be home to a few new — and very large — ships. The possibility floated into public view toward the end of the March 20 meeting of the Humboldt Bay Development Association Board of Directors when Vice Chair Leroy Zerlang updated his colleagues on his efforts to get the U.S. Maritime Administration to contract to house two — and possibly three — 800-foot-long ships in Humboldt Bay. “These ships are the ready-to-go-to-war ships,” Zerlang said at the meeting, adding they would be constantly ready to deploy within 24-hour’s notice and calling the prospect “very exciting.” Reached after the meeting, Zerlang corrected a bit to say these aren’t actually war ships in the classic sense, but cargo ships used to transport military personnel and equipment to strategic locations. It appears the vessels would be part of the Maritime Administration’s Ready Reserve Force (RRF), which includes about 60 ships strategically positioned at various “outports” around the country. The ships are maintained by civilian crews to be constantly at the ready to deploy at short notice. “As a key element of the Department of

‘Low-Hanging Fruit’

Editor: Yes, California is not close to meeting climate change mandates, just like CalMatters reported (NCJ Daily, March 21). Nonetheless, there are a few solutions to many of the problems which we seem deliberately blind to.  More than a decade ago, before electric cars were the big deal they are now, there was quite a bit of conversation about how reduced speed limits not only prevented traffic deaths, but also reduced air pollution. Reduce speed x percent, reduce pollution y percent. So, there’s a bit of low-hanging fruit. (I wrote to one of our legislators about this with actual figures and got a response from an aide which basically said, “How interesting.”) We hear repeatedly about the need for more electricity, and not just for electric cars. The amount of electricity that households use has increased wildly, but the ease and comfort of living has not followed. What about using less? Is frugality a last-century concept? Do we even want to look at agriculture? The way conventional agriculture is practiced in most of California is not conducive to air, water or soil quality. Get rid

‘Too Much Fixin”

Editor: Anyway, to address the current mess regarding bird names … . I’ve been shining on the current PC about names and personas until an article in the North Coast Journal about renaming birds, which had someone’s name as part of theirs, on grounds that many of these people “weren’t very nice” (“Bird Names for Everyone,” Feb. 29). Of course, some of them were — nice that is. And some of those people were just friends of the discoverer, so, hell, let’s go ahead and confuse everybody. But how about this … let’s just go ahead and admit that some of the heroes (and heroines) of our youth had feet of clay, and leave the names as they are to remind us of that fact. The thing that really got me up on this soapbox was Ken Burton’s column in the local Audubon’s “Sandpiper” in the EcoNews, which listed 38 candidates for renaming! I was so disgusted by the point of view I couldn’t even finish reading it. Someone once said, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” There is entirely too much fixin’ going

Opinion: California has to conserve water. Why is Sacramento dragging its heels?

On the heels of two wet winters, it’s easy to forget how close some parts of California came to running out of water a few short years ago. But this climate amnesia will not help us prepare for the next inevitable drought. Since before the state’s founding, the boom-and-bust of drought and flood have shaped our landscapes. In this era of climate change, weather extremes are becoming more common and more severe. The robust water supply of the 20th century is no longer reliable. California recently agreed to cut water imports from the Colorado River by 10% not out of altruism, but because we must. The Department of Water Resources projects that the Sierra snowpack — a major source of water for farms and cities — could be reduced by as much as 65% by the end of the century. More immediately, California’s water supply is projected to decrease by 10% as early as 2040. Now is the time to prepare for a drier, less predictable future. That’s why we spent nearly two years crafting legislation designed to do just that. We developed and shepherded

New York’s fanciest ‘Korean wave’ restaurants go where L.A. doesn’t: caviar and kimchi

NEW YORK —  Near the end of a week spent delving into Manhattan’s upwelling of modern Korean fine dining restaurants last fall, I watched a server at Oiji Mi light a blowtorch tableside and turn it toward a platter of Wagyu bavette steak carved into carpaccio rounds. A snug beige cloth was wrapped around the butane cylinder to hide any warning labels. It brought to mind a soft spa tunic. So much about the display, and the tastes that followed, encapsulated the crossroads of theater, tradition and invention I experienced in New York — a recent juncture for Korean cuisine that exists in a separate universe from the one that thrives in Los Angeles. Check out our guides to the best Korean barbecue, late-night hangouts, fried chicken and more. While the server blazed the beef in front of us, she explained the dish, called samhap, a Korean term that can translate in context as “three tastes.” Over the beef she poured aged soy sauce infused with ginger and soy, and slid on an egg yolk to add creaminess. The meaty circles acted as wrappers. She instructed

Editorial: Bring buttons and dials back to new cars. Touch screens distract drivers

As cars go electric and get more technologically advanced, their interiors are increasingly being built around prominent dashboard touch screens. Nearly every automaker has been moving controls for windshield wipers, headlights, air conditioning, gear selection and other basic functions to these centralized touch screens. It’s an industrywide shift that is most pronounced with electric vehicles but not limited to them. Consumers have rightly complained that screens are more of a pain to use than the intuitive physical buttons, dials and switches cars have been equipped with for decades. But the trend is not just an issue of consumer preference or convenience. It’s a matter of safety, because the time drivers spend tapping through sleek but hard-to-navigate touch screen menus is time they are taking their eyes off the road. So it’s welcome news that an influential auto safety certification body in Europe is working on new standards that would push against car companies’ overreliance on distracting touch screens. Under new standards the European New Car Assessment Program plans to introduce in 2026, automakers will have to use separate physical buttons, dials or levers for critical

The mysterious life — and questionable claims — of Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter

They were one of the best-known duos in baseball. Wherever star pitcher and slugger Shohei Ohtani went — to practice, to the gym, to Japanese restaurants in Orange County — his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara was never far behind. His Beatles-like haircut, self-deprecating attitude and rapport with the new face of baseball made Mizuhara, a 39-year-old from Southern California, a celebrity in his own right. But over the last week, the world learned how little was truly known about Ohtani’s former right-hand man, who was fired by the Dodgers after being accused of stealing more than $4.5 million to cover debts with an illegal Orange County bookmaking operation. Now that Mizuhara’s life is under a microscope, key aspects of his biography have proved difficult to confirm; others are outright false. His whereabouts for nearly a decade after graduating from high school in L.A. County are still largely a mystery. He apparently lied about the college he attended and overstated the nature of a previous job with Major League Baseball, in addition to accusations that he misled Ohtani for months — perhaps even years — about a
