Pedestrian hit, killed by bus is Fremont’s ninth fatal collision this year

FREMONT — A bus driver ran over a pedestrian in Fremont early Thursday, resulting in the city’s ninth fatal traffic collision this year, police said Friday. The pedestrian, identified only as a male, was struck by a bus “during the early hours of morning darkness” as he stood in the eastbound lanes near Mission Boulevard at State Route 262 and Warm Springs Boulevard, Fremont police said. Officers arrived and found him dead in the roadway at about 5:50 a.m., police said. After the bus struck the pedestrian, other vehicles also ran over the pedestrian, police said. It does not appear drugs or alcohol impairment were a factor in the collision. The bus driver, along with other drivers, remained onsite to cooperate with investigators, police said. Police did not immediately respond to an inquiry about what company, if any, the driver works for. Of the city’s nine fatal traffic collisions this year, five occurred on city streets, three on state routes and one on private property, police said. Any witnesses to the collision or those with information about the incident are asked to contact Fremont Police at 510-790-6760.

Hurricane Helene shows climate change’s fury Re: “Hurricanes like Helene are deadly and keep killing for years to come”  (Page A2, Oct. 3). Reading about the devastation in the Southeast, watching the death toll rise daily, is dismaying enough. But now we’re told that may just be the tip of the iceberg: The trauma of the storm may raise death rates for over a decade. Clearly, we don’t yet understand the full extent of the damage that a warming planet could inflict on us, in terms of both economics and human suffering. Often, it has come sooner and worse than we had anticipated. And yet, we continue to use more and more energy. In spite of record growth in renewables, our greenhouse gas emissions are at an all-time high. When are we finally going to wake up and smell the coffee?

Using CBD To Keep Your Dog Calm During Fireworks

By Sarah Johns, The Fresh Toast While their pet parents celebrate Independence Day – dogs suffer during the fireworks…but CBD can help. The 4th of July brings out food, BBQs, parades and fireworks. It is a great day with lots of fun, except for man’s best friend. While we watch in wonder at the brilliant displays (and try to get one decent picture), dogs are suffering and can be a bit freaked out. They have exceptional hearing and fireworks booming sounds are full and unexpected, this can disorient a dog and make them very anxious. If left untreated, thunder and fireworks can continue to upset the animal. It is possible using CBD to keep your dog calm during fireworks can make it a better day for your furry friend. Fireworks were at the first organized celebration of Independence Day in July 4th 1777. Starting the tradition in the US, fireworks are used around the globe to for independence days, New Year’s Eve, and other major events. But animal control facilities experience a 30% increase in missing pets between July 4 and 6, with July 5 being one of the busiest days for shelters.  The poor things

La secuela de ‘Joker’ resulta notablemente inerte

Pongamos una cara feliz, al menos para empezar nuestra reseña de “Joker: Folie à Deux” (“Guasón 2: Folie à Deux”). Si hay algo innegablemente convincente tanto en la divisiva original de 2019 de Todd Phillips como en su secuela recientemente estrenada, es que estas películas son mejores cuando bailan. La primera película podría haber sido un intento confuso de adaptar un realismo de los años 1970 al estilo de “Taxi Driver” en una historia de origen del Joker, pero, vaya, cuando Joaquin Phoenix está alerta, es difícil mirar hacia otro lado. Sólo la imagen de Phoenix demacrado y ataviado con un traje rojo, con su cabello verde peinado hacia atrás, fue suficiente para inyectarle vida a “Joker”. El papel le dio a Phoenix, un actor de cuerpo entero, un lienzo en el cual desatar torrentes de movimiento, alternando entre la contención herida y la liberación extravagante, en un género de cómic que suele dejar a los intérpretes paralizados por sus ceñidos trajes de superhéroe. Es casi igual de cautivador en “Joker: Folie à Deux”, un musical que sigue de cerca los eventos de la primera

San Fernando Valley gets 100 license plate-reading cameras to help police crack down on crime

Soon a large swath of the San Fernando Valley will be under the watchful eye of 100 license plate-reading cameras that Los Angeles officials hope will help police crack down on burglaries, robberies and other neighborhood crimes. On Thursday, Councilman John Lee announced the Los Angeles Police Department and other city departments are already working toward installing the cameras by the end of the year. The cameras will be at or near intersections in Chatsworth, Northridge, Granada Hills, Sherwood Forest, Porter Ranch, West Hills and North Hills. These communities “have been asking for change and pleading with their government representatives to address issues of crime” in their neighborhoods, Lee said in a statement. “While I know there is always more we can do, it brings me immense hope to know that we’ve been able to deliver this project for the Northwest San Fernando Valley,” he said. An automated license plate reader camera takes a photo or a video of a vehicle’s license plate information. With optical character recognition the plate number is compared to one or more law enforcement crime databases of vehicles of interests

Helene destroyed their North Carolina campground, but they’re staying put

Family-owned campground vows to stay after Helene North Carolina family vows to rebuild after Helene destroyed their campground 02:18 Newland, North Carolina — At the Mountain River Family Campground in western North Carolina , the North Toe River isn’t the only thing that gushes —customers do too. “It’s beautiful because you’re kind of nestled in a valley in this campground,” one guest told CBS News. This week, the remnants of Hurricane Helene turned this slice of heaven into a hellscape. Suzanne Garland’s family owns the campground. The first time she returned after the storm, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Every building and every bit of infrastructure was erased. “It just looks like a tornado just ripped everything up and spit it back out,” Garland said. “…I just can’t believe this is real.” As of Friday, at least 225 deaths across six states have been attributed to Helene, including 114 in North Carolina. “My heart goes out to everyone who has experienced the unthinkable loss,” President Biden said Wednesday after surveying the destruction across the Carolinas. “But we’re here for you.” Mr. Biden estimated that recovery

Long Beach man admits to transporting, raping 14-year-old girl he met online

A man from Long Beach who was arrested on allegations that he met a 14-year-old Arizona girl online, drove her to his home and had sex with her, has pleaded guilty to federal charges. Trevon Nathaniel Langstaff, 33, was arrested at his Long Beach apartment in March after the girl was found inside his home. Days before his arrest, Langstaff drove to Peoria, Arizona to pick up the girl, who he met on Reddit, knowing she was underage. He drove her from Arizona to California, where he “engaged in criminal sexual activity with her,” the United States Department of Justice announced Friday. The age of consent in California is 18. The girl’s family reported her missing after searching their neighborhood and speaking with her friends, at which point they learned she had been talking to a man she met online who said he “harbored” teenagers. After his arrest, authorities searched Langstaff’s phone, where they discovered images of “two children engaged in sexually explicit activity,” the DOJ said. Langstaff pleaded guilty to one count of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, officials said.

CHP pursues high-speed driver in L.A. County

Two suspects were arrested after leading officers on a high-speed chase through Ventura and Los Angeles counties Friday night. The suspects, driving a yellow Ford Mustang, were wanted for an assault, according to the California Highway Patrol. The driver traveled at high speeds on the freeway and surface streets, weaving dangerously between vehicles and narrowly missing other cars amid heavy traffic. The chase began in Ventura County before ending in Los Angeles County as the suspect hit the 101, 405, 105, 110 Freeways while reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour at times. A large piece of debris was caught underneath the vehicle, eventually destroying the rear tire and forcing the suspects to pull over on the 91 Freeway exit ramp near South Vermont Boulevard and West Artesia Boulevard. Two male suspects stepped out of the Mustang and surrendered to officers. Footage of the chase can be seen in the video player above.

Fontana second-grade teacher publishes his poetry and helps students create their own poetry book

Elmo Kelley, a second-grade teacher at Fontana’s Cypress Elementary School, has published two poetry collections and last school year helped his students create their own book of poetry. His most recent self-published poetry book, “Traveling Through My Mind: Volume 2,” was released in June, two years after “Traveling Through My Mind: Volume 1.” “I like to write poems about love and loss, observations about work, what’s on the news,” Kelley said in a news release. “It’s really a buffet of topics and not so much self-analytical. I like to find humor in things, and I love to write about pop culture. It’s a mishmash of subjects and styles. My next book, which I’ve already begun, will be all poems about education.” Kelley, who was introduced to poetry as a writing discipline 30 years ago in a UCR creative writing class, has been teaching at Cypress Elementary School since 1998. He is married to Barbara Kelley, principal of Fontana’s A.B. Miller High School, and it was his wife’s sister, Jan Sherrick, who urged him to curate his best poems into an anthology.
