A large sewage spill prompted the closure of ocean waters near Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point Tuesday. Approximately 3,375 gallons of sewage were spilled into the ocean due to a breakage in a main lift station sewer line, according to the OC Health Care Agency. The spill forced the closure of the open coastal area spanning 1,500 feet upcoast to 1,500 feet downcoast of the Salt Creek. The ruptured sewer line has since been repaired, but the closure will remain in effect out of caution, health officials said. Visitors will not be allowed to swim, surf or dive into the affected waters during this time. The city’s health inspection team will monitor water quality along the affected beach sites. The swimming areas will remain closed until results meet safe water quality standards. Ocean waters off Salt Creek Beach were closed to the public following a massive sewage spill on Dec. 3, 2024.

The cost of convenience is adding up for millions of fast-food customers in the United States. Online food delivery has become a trillion — yes, trillion — dollar business. But with each order comes a slew of fees that can quickly take the cost of an otherwise quick, affordable meal and make it less quick and less affordable. According to Chowhound, delivery services often include fees that aren’t immediately obvious. They can range from service fees to small order fees and even higher menu prices compared to in-store purchases. “While you might be able to grab a meal in-person from one of the cheapest fast-food chains in the U.S. for under $10, it’s exceedingly rare to spend less than $20 on delivery once tax, tip, and fees are applied,” the food industry news website notes.

“I’m a very fortunate human being.” That was the message Jerry Heath had for the California Lottery after winning a life-changing $44.3 million Powerball jackpot. Heath, a retired Long Beach police detective and U.S. Army veteran, purchased his winning ticket at a Ralphs in Dana Point for a drawing held in August. A graduate of Cal State Long Beach — previously Long Beach State College — Heath said he came from humble roots and a low-income upbringing. He said he plays the lottery for fun and to support the overarching mission to support California’s public education system. The money, Heath says, won’t change his priorities or the person he is today. Southern California teen hits big lottery payout during concert road trip “I can’t forget where I came from now that I’m a multimillionaire,” Heath said. “I don’t really travel; playing the lottery is my only luxury.” He told Lottery officials that he plans to share the winnings with his daughter and grandchildren, while still allowing himself the excitement of playing lottery games. He was a daily lottery player before winning the Powerball — now

Daddy Yankee and his wife of nearly 30 years, Mireddys González, are getting divorced. The “Gasolina” rapper, who retired from performing last year to rededicate his life to his Christian faith, announced the split Monday on his Instagram story. “After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save my marriage, which my wife and I share, today my lawyers responded to the divorce petition received from Mireddys,” Yankee wrote in Spanish. He added that he respects González’s decision and that their family remains their priority. The rapper has three grown children, two of whom he shares with González. “This is not an easy time, but I understand that it is part of my life process,” he added, noting that it was time to “accept and continue.” The Grammy nominee called his faith in Christ his “refuge” and “constant guide” as he and González attempted to work out their differences: “Now more than ever I trust that God has a purpose for every stage of our lives.” Yankee called his Instagram post the only statement he would make about his

Former world champion Israel Vázquez, a Mexican boxing star known “El Magnífico,” died Monday night at the age of 46, World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaimán confirmed. The three-time world champion in the super bantamweight division starred in a fierce trio of fights against Rafael Márquez, brother of Juan Manuel Márquez. The bouts were true Mexican boxing classics that left both fighters physically scarred, as neither of them was the same after those three duels in the span of a year. Vázquez’s boxing career ended with a 44-5 record, including 32 knockouts. He was champion of the International Boxing Federation from 2004 to 2005 and twice of the World Boxing Council from 2005 to 2008. Vázquez’s career also included three fights against Oscar “Chololo” Larios, a former world champion and stablemate of then rising star Saul “Canelo” Álvarez, winning two bouts and losing one. “Israel Vázquez finally rests in peace,” Sulaimán, of the WBC, posted on social media. “May God give strength and support to his wife Laura, his children, family and friends in these difficult moments. Thank you champion for leaving such a special

In the right-field Stadium Club at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, where dozens of media members gathered for yet another introductory news conference welcoming a star player to the organization, the Dodgers flexed their financial muscles with businesslike handshakes and celebratory smiles. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes sat beside their latest blockbuster acquisition, two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Blake Snell, and his powerhouse agent, Scott Boras. They watched the 31-year-old left-hander, signed last week to a five-year, $182 million contract, slip into a white Dodgers jersey amid the flicker of cameras. And, barely a month after winning the franchise’s second World Series in the last five seasons (and first since 1988 that came in a full season and with a championship parade), they put the rest of the baseball world back on notice. Their pockets remain deep. Their ambitions remain vast. And with the chance to cement a dynasty now thrust upon them, their willingness to spend doesn’t appear to be waning. In Snell, the Dodgers took their biggest weakness from this October’s World Series run — a lack

Lee Ramer, a longtime Los Angeles arts leader and early champion of L.A. as a cultural capital, died at home Sunday, her family said. She was 90. Ramer served on the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Commission from 1994 to 2013, eventually becoming the group’s president. Her service in city government began in 1978 with her work as cultural affairs assistant and deputy to former City Councilman Joel Wachs for 17 years. “Lee Ramer and Patty Wilson were my cultural affairs ambassadors, and they articulated the importance of the arts,” said Wachs, now president of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in New York City. “There was no shortage of people going out and saying the police were important. Or the firefighters. But there was a dearth of people who would say the arts were important. We took it on as a priority, and Lee Ramer was an ambassador to the arts community that we valued the arts and would render support.” Born Ina Lee Brown on April 27, 1934, in Stamford, Conn., she majored in political science at Wellesley College in Massachusetts and

A San Fernando Valley man who pretended to be European nobility has agreed to plead guilty to allegations that he operated a Ponzi scheme that targeted the Filipino community, including many elderly church parishioners, taking nearly $6 million from them in the process. Sylvein William Maximilian D’Habsburg XVII of West Hills will plead guilty to one count of wire fraud, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in a news release. While D’Habsburg’s name is reminiscent of European nobility, he instead had his name legally changed to this, and “he is not a descendant of the Holy Roman emperors and the Austrian emperors,” a DOJ spokesperson confirmed to KTLA. The 48-year-old pseudo-noble apparently didn’t have the royals’ fortunes either, as he took nearly $6 million from people who thought they were investing in artificial intelligence technology that could predict the future and detect a COVID-19 infection using only a video recording, the DOJ said. Using two companies, Wild Rabbit Technologies LLC and BAI Intelligence LLC, D’Habsburg sought investors to join what he said was about $500 million in investments “from retired pro athletes and other noteworthy
