The bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease has been detected at the Veterans Affairs Loma Linda Healthcare System, prompting further testing of all pneumonia patients. The Legionella bacteria, which causes a severe form of pneumonia, was discovered during routine water testing, the Orange County Register reports. “Until further notice, all clinical staff at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System should remain vigilant and ensure that Legionella testing is ordered for all patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of pneumonia,” Dr. V. Franklin Sechriest II, the VA Loma Linda’s chief of staff, said in an email to staff obtained by the Register. “It is crucial to order these clinical tests as soon as pneumonia is suspected or diagnosed to avoid delays in necessary treatment and case investigation.” VA Loma Linda employees think manager’s murder may have been work-related Legionnaires’ disease is usually caused by people inhaling the bacteria from water or soil, and if untreated, it can be fatal. “Although prompt treatment with antibiotics usually cures Legionnaires’ disease, some people continue to have problems after treatment,” the Mayo Clinic warned. In the case of the VA Loma Linda
Witnesses say that a man captured on video driving through a CarMax dealership in Inglewood over the weekend was upset over the appraisal of his vehicle and may have tried to assault an employee first. Carmax confirmed that the customer was having his vehicle appraised before he put the SUV in reverse and drove into the doorway of the dealership, smashing the glass doors and hitting whoever was in his way. Witnesses said the man was unhappy and possibly even threw punches at the employee before getting into the SUV. “All I could see is the car coming towards me and then reverses back into the shop,” witness Miguel Hernandez said. “His reaction was incredible … Who knows what kind of charges he’s going to get charged now just because he didn’t like his approval.” An upset customer is seen driving his car into a CarMax in Inglewood, injuring eight people.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman provided an update on the notorious Menendez brothers murder case on Monday morning. The update discussed of Hochman’s “three parallel tracks” he has for the case, which include the habeas petition filed by Lyle and Erik Menendez, the clemency plea with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the brothers’ resentencing request. The latter is what was discussed Monday morning. The DA’s Office has already informally requested that the courts deny the habeas petition, but Newsom recently directed the California Board of Parole Hearings to evaluate whether Lyle and Erik, who are now 57 and 54, respectively, pose a risk to public safety if they were to be released from prison.

SAN JOSE — Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority workers walked off the job Monday after negotiations for a new contract ended in an impasse, leaving commuters scrambling to find other ways to get to work. The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 notified VTA last week that they would go on strike, citing concerns over the cost of living and the high rate of inflation, as they sought a more significant raise than VTA was offering in negotiations. Bus and light rail services were suspended at 12:01 a.m. Monday, according to a statement from VTA. These services will remain shut down across the county for the duration of the strike. Paratransit services will continue to operate as usual. “We understand the hardship this service disruption causes, and we are pursuing as many avenues as possible to mitigate the impact to the riding public as quickly as we can,” the VTA said in a statement Sunday night. As commuters traveled through San Jose’s Diridon Station Monday morning, a crowd of people waited for ride shares, walked or rode scooters in place of their normal bus routes.

Trump cuts financial aid to South Africa Trump cuts financial aid to South Africa 01:45 Johannesburg — President Trump doubled down Friday on his offer to grant U.S. citizenship to White Afrikaner farmers in South Africa, accusing their government of treating them “terribly.” Mr. Trump said the U.S. would offer them “safety” and that they would be given a “rapid pathway to citizenship.” Mr. Trump had previously pointed to new land expropriation laws in South Africa that he claims are racist and a breach of the White farmers’ human rights. In reaction to the laws, he has halted all foreign aid to South Africa. Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been cool for several years, since then-U.S. Ambassador Reuben Brigety, during a May 2023 news conference, accused South Africa of loading weapons onto a U.S.-sanctioned Russian ship in Simon’s Town harbor which then sailed back to Russia, where the weapons were allegedly used to help in the invasion of Ukraine . Mr. Trump’s offer of “safe refuge” for Afrikaner farmers That tension has been exacerbated by South Africa’s case at the International Criminal Court, where
Dylan Mulvaney on fame, Bud Light backlash Dylan Mulvaney reflects on fame, Bud Light backlash and resilience 06:15 Dylan Mulvaney burst onto the scene as a TikTok star, but what made her most famous was controversy. The trans influencer and performer was targeted after appearing in a campaign for Bud Light in 2023. In her new memoir, “Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer,” Mulvaney shares journal entries documenting the first year of her gender transition. “I think of the book as like a quarter life crisis. But at the end of the day, I think it has a lot more heart than social media ever can have,” Mulvaney said. Her TikTok series “Days of Girlhood” became a viral sensation, attracting more than one billion views. As her profile grew, the 28-year-old became a regular on red carpets. Mulvaney said she knew her gender identity from an early age. “I knew I was a girl. That was one of the purest thoughts and intentions I’ve ever had throughout my entire life was to be brought into this world and to, so clearly, know who I
New tariffs add pressure on U.S. farmers New Chinese tariffs add pressure on American farmers amid ongoing trade war 01:39 China’s retaliatory tariffs went into effect Monday, spelling trouble for American farmers by making U.S.-grown crops more expensive for their top purchaser. Beijing imposed the levies in response to President Trump’s extra 10% blanket tariff on Chinese goods . Under China’s retaliatory action, U.S. farmers now face levies of 15% on chicken, wheat and corn, and 10% on soybeans, pork, beef and fruit. China is the largest market for such products, and if prices of foreign-grown goods rise in China, locals will turn to less expensive alternatives either from China or other countries. American farmers that deal in chicken and more will likely lose market share as a result. “If prices go up, folks won’t eat imported stuff,” a fruit seller, surnamed Shi, told Agence France-Presse. “There will be more domestic goods sold, and I think this is something folks can accept.” Shi told the agency that if U.S. produce prices rise, he might seek out replacement fruit and vegetables from Thailand and Malaysia.

By Dan Ruetenik March 10, 2025 / 1:19 PM EDT / CBS News Elon Musk meets with GOP lawmakers Elon Musk meets with GOP lawmakers, Congress inching closer to shutdown deadline 03:11 Last Friday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stated on X that a $600,000 grant to Southern University in Louisiana was being revoked for studying “menstrual cycles in transgender men,” in the latest mischaracterization of a grant that was then canceled by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency team, known as DOGE. DOGE highlighted the Rollins post, reposting it on the official doge.gov website and on X. The grant was actually intended for research on the potential health risks posed by synthetic feminine hygiene products and for developing alternatives using natural fibers and fabrics, according to the project’s documentation, which was publicly filed on the USDA website. According to that documentation, the goals of the grant were to develop sustainable feminine hygiene products using regenerative cotton, wool, and industrial hemp while enhancing education through an extension program that teaches women and girls about menstrual health and reusable products. It also would have funded a

RED BLUFF– The Tehama County Fish and Game Commission will hear a presentation on Tuesday regarding collaborative efforts to improve the blacktail deer herds in Mendocino County and surrounding counties. The Mendocino County Blacktail Deer Association recently launched the Forest and Wildlife Health Initiative Agenda 23. The goal of this program is to inventory the current conditions of the wildlife and habitat, that is, collect immediate data, in order to directly inform decisions about where to focus conservation efforts, including habitat enhancements and monitoring. When those areas of need are identified, the association developed strategies and implement collaborative projects based on an ecosystem management approach to tackle the problems. They then evaluated the outcomes of their projects to measure success and guide refinements moving forward. “We believe that a program that addresses all of these aspects is the best approach and represents the entire public interest,” the association said. The Mendocino Blacktail Deer Association was formed in 2008 as a non-profit California Public Benefit Corporation to improve the conditions of black-tailed deer populations and other wildlife through financial support for habitat improvement, education, and research
RED BLUFF— Some alleged shenanigans have caused the Red Bluff City Council to pause a planned community garden. According to city staff, We Are the Village Corp, a non-profit organization, has submitted a use permit application with the city regarding an intended grant-funded project to develop a community garden at 219 Sycamore Street in Red Bluff. Councilman Cody Strock has a connection to this group. The council Tuesday night considered granting We Are the Village a use permit application fee waiver. City of Red BluffA map of the proposed community garden. (contributed) One Seed at a Time Director Priscilla Burke spoke against Strock and granting the permit. Burke said this land was acquired through unscrupulous means and downright a violation of legal statutes at worst. She claimed Strock first encountered and reached out to acquire this property while an active officer of One Seed at a Time, at the organization’s request. Burke said they made it clear that the intention was for that property to be acquired and deeded under the name of One Seed at a Time, which was incorporated into deeding this property.
SANTA CLARA — Free agency offers are officially legal, signaling the 49ers’ first chance to replenish their roster after a 6-11, last-place effort ended their NFC reign. It’s also other teams’ initial chance to poach 49ers players, and the first one reportedly off the market is offensive tackle Jaylon Moore. Moore, after 12 starts last season as the 49ers’ swing tackle, agreed to join the three-time reigning AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It is a two-year, $30 million deal with $21.24 million fully guaranteed. Arguably the greatest mystery 49ers fans want solved is whether Joey Bosa will join younger brother Nick on the defensive line, although the elder Bosa has been on the market since getting released Thursday by the Los Angeles Chargers. As for in-house drama, the 49ers have yet to reach agreements that would keep a slew of starters from becoming unrestricted free agents, those being linebacker Dre Greenlaw, cornerback Charvarius Ward, safety Talanoa Hufanga and guard Aaron Banks. The majority of deals can not become official until the new league year begins Wednesday at 1
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Teachers and other staff at Grossmont Union High School District schools picketed Monday morning over the potential elimination of dozens of positions. Under the proposal, more than 60 positions would be cut, including credentialed teachers, support staff and all nine librarians in the district. Teachers have described these cuts as a significant blow that could worsen student outcomes in the district given increased class sizes and crippling of its libraries. “Most kids need an adult other than their parent to see them, to validate them, to hear them. That’s a lot of what we did in libraries too is make connections with kids,” said Laura Preble, a retired GUHSD teacher. “Connections are the root of education.” EPA chief addresses Tijuana River sewage crisis in San Diego County The demonstration comes ahead of Tuesday night’s school board meeting where district leaders are expected to talk at length about the job cuts.
