The Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo (CAPSLO) has been awarded a grant from the San Luis Obispo County Behavioral Health Department to continue providing vital services that support families and children on the Central Coast. Each year, the agency reportedly helps over 30,000 low-income individuals across 11 California counties to increase their economic stability and level of self-sufficiency. Officials say the new funding will enhance CAPSLO’s existing local programs, which include the Marthas Place (MP) Service Enhancement Program, School and Family Empowerment (SAFE), Positive Development Program, and In-Home Educator initiative. The MP Service Enhancement Program supports families with children up to five years old by providing an advocate who assists with navigating healthcare systems and accessing community services. Since its start in 2000, representatives say the SAFE program has been a cornerstone of CAPSLO’s services, offering comprehensive support to at-risk children and youth up to 21 years old by delivering prevention, intervention, and intensive treatment. The Positive Development Program, established in 2009, empowers childcare providers across SLO County with resources and training to promote problem-solving skills and emotional well-being in young children.

The president of Tyler Perry Studios died in a single-passenger plane crash Friday evening in Florida, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. Steve Mensch, 62, has been head of the film studio based in Atlanta since 2016. His death was initially reported by TMZ. According to sheriff’s officials, Mensch was the pilot and the sole passenger of the plane that crashed on a road in Homosassa, Fla., around 8 p.m. The crash closed parts of Highway 19 and Longfellow Street, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. All lanes were reopened just before 2:30 a.m. The tragic news comes on the heels of Perry being recently honored by the Paley Center and his new film, “The Six Triple Eight,” his most ambitious film and his bid for major awards. The film opened in select theaters Friday. The studio released a statement to TMZ, saying: “Steve was a cherished member of our team for more than 8 years, and well beloved in the community of Atlanta.

The victim of a brutal axe killing in Ventura County earlier this week has been identified as the suspect’s younger brother, his family confirmed late Friday. Zayde Keohouho, 15, was killed by his older brother, 24-year-old Zuberi Sharp, in the 400 block of Jeanne Court in an unincorporated area near Newbury Park on Thursday, according to authorities and the victim’s family. “I will confirm that the deceased is our grandson, Zayde, who was 15 years old,” his grandfather, Gary Keohouho, said in a brief statement Friday night. “We appreciate the outpouring of love, aloha, support and prayers from friends and ohanas in this wonderful community.” Sharp was arrested Thursday night after he was found running naked through Newbury Park High School’s football field, prompting a lockdown because some students were still on the grounds, authorities said. Sheriff’s deputies who were chasing Sharp said he was armed with an axe, according to recordings of radio communications from the incident. The deputies also suggested the axe might be tied to the death on Jeanne Court, according to the audio clips. Jail records show Sharp was arrested around

PARIS (AP) — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic

Health officials in Marin County are investigating a possible H5N1 bird flu case in a child. Officials have been investigating since last week and are working with the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to determine how the child was exposed. The information was provided in a Friday “health status update” newsletter, and buried at the end of a paragraph about the county and state’s monitoring of the virus, raw milk and a note about a new USDA program designed to test milk nationwide. If confirmed, this would be the second case of an infected child in California. “It’s deeply concerning that another child may have H5N1. We need to know much more about this case, including some hypotheses for how she or he may have contracted the virus,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University in Providence, R.I. “Given the proximity of this case to the last case of H5N1 diagnosed in a child without known exposure to animals, it may be prudent to conduct a broader investigation, including a serologic study, to
