The latest in a series of soggy weekends is expected to be followed by at least a week of warm and dry weather

The American Heart Association’s Orange County Heart and Stroke Walk 2024 took place on Saturday morning, drawing 7,000 participants to Anaheim to take strides towards better heart health.  KTLA 5’s Wendy Burch – who has been a spokesperson for the American Heart Association for more than a decade – served as the event’s Master of Ceremonies, even “double fisting” her KTLA news microphone with the main stage microphone to congratulate participants for raising $1.1 million during Saturday’s walk at Angel Stadium, which featured one mile and 5K options.  Mater Dei football coach out after just 1 season Several walkers shared their stories with Wendy, including a 6-year-old girl named Olivia who has had three heart surgeries throughout her young life.  “It means a lot to me to have the support of the American Heart Association because the funds are being used to further research towards congenital heart defects, which is what Olivia was born with,” said Olivia’s mother Tamika. “[As they get] further with their research, our children are starting to live longer.”  More information about the walk, including ways to donate, can be found

Hawaii cruise shuttle driver presses gas not brake killing 1 pedestrian, injuring others By John Dodge Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 2:43 PM EDT / CBS Chicago CBS News Live CBS News Chicago Live One woman died, and several others were injured in a bus accident while on holiday in Honolulu, Hawaii, according to local police.  According to local media reports, the woman is from Illinois but has not been identified. Some of the others who were injured are also from Illinois.  The accident happened on Friday when a shuttle bus driver dropping off customers at the Pier 2 cruise terminal,  521 Ala Moana Boulevard, hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, pinning several people against two concrete barriers.  Three pedestrians were transported to Queens Medical Center for treatment, police said. One of those victims was a woman who died at the hospital. The two others were listed in good condition. Two others were transported from the scene to the Tripler Hospital in good condition. Six pedestrians refused treatment. “At this time, speed does not appear to be a contributing factor to this

The executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate says he will try to prevent the payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded by a civil jury after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. “It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” attorney Malcolm LaVergne told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.” The former football star and actor, who was acquitted of murder charges in the June 1994 deaths of his ex-wife and her friend Goldman, a waiter, died April 10 in the Las Vegas area from prostate cancer. Simpson was found liable for the deaths in a civil trial in Santa Monica in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million. The families have said that Simpson was not cooperative in the years after the civil verdict, and much of that judgment is believed to have never been paid. According to LaVergne, Simpson’s will, which was revealed Friday and names him the executor in charge of overseeing the estate, places

Rebecca Lobo has been in the WNBA from the very beginning. The former New York Liberty center played in the league’s inaugural game in 1997, watched the WNBA become the longest-running women’s professional sports league in the United States and witnessed every draft class with stars like Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner and Candace Parker. Yet even she is in awe of what Caitlin Clark has accomplished. “In terms of attention,” the ESPN analyst said, “we’ve never, ever, ever seen anything like this.” Entering its 28th season, the WNBA is riding a tsunami of interest in women’s basketball after Clark’s record-setting career at Iowa. Not only will the Indiana Fever, who own the No. 1 pick in Monday’s draft, benefit from “the Caitlin Clark” effect, but the whole league is bracing for an increase in ticket sales and viewership with Clark leading a star-studded draft class. “Caitlin’s kind of a world of her own,” Lobo said during a virtual news conference, “but I don’t know that we have seen this kind of excitement across the board.” The Sparks, who have the second and fourth picks, are

Residents who have been fighting huge rent increases at a Chinatown apartment complex could find some financial relief under a tentative deal reached between Los Angeles housing officials and the landlord. The proposed agreement would require the city to spend nearly $15 million to ensure that rents are subsidized in dozens of units inside the Hillside Villa Apartments, according to a memo issued Friday by the city’s housing department. The agreement would run through February 2034 and cover 106 of the building’s 124 units. For some renters, the subsidies would close the gap between the amount they were paying in 2019 and the market-rate rent the landlord wants to charge, city officials said. The subsidy would not cover 17 apartments where tenants are already paying market rate or one unit reserved for the building’s manager, the report said. The deal, if approved by the City Council, is designed to resolve a long-running battle over steep rent hikes announced several years ago by 636 NHP LLC, the building’s owner. The company sought those increases following the expiration of a 30-year agreement with the city that had

Historic football powerhouse Mater Dei High School, the 2023 CIF Open Division state champions and No. 1 team in the nation by several metrics, will be on the search for a new head coach for the second time in as many years. In a letter to the Santa Ana school’s community, reposted onto X by Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times, Mater Dei announced the “departure” of head football coach Frank McManus Jr. on Friday. Conservative Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco considering run for Governor in 2026: report “We’re saddened to announce Coach McManus’ departure from Mater Dei High School,” said President Michael Brennan in the letter. “We wish him the best in his future endeavors.” Frank McManus Jr. is out as Mater Dei football coach after just one season, the school announced on Friday, April 12, 2024. (KTLA) No reason was cited, and it was not immediately clear whether McManus was fired or if the departure was mutually agreed to. He served as an assistant coach with the Monarchs for 16 years prior to his promotion in 2023. The job became open following

AUGUSTA, Ga. —  Everybody knows about the green jacket. That’s emblematic of Augusta National. But besides the jacket (for a year) and the $3.6 million in prize money, what else do Masters champions receive? A lot of people don’t know about the silver trophy, a three-dimensional depiction of the clubhouse that weighs about 20 pounds and is roughly the size of a modest birthday cake. That’s a miniature version of the permanent trophy that is too large for one person to carry — well, maybe the beefy Bryson DeChambeau, if he could find a way to squeeze it out the clubhouse door. The big one is so detailed that it’s accurate down to the number of rail posts on the balcony or individual panes in a given window. That trophy has been around since 1961 and is on display on the ground floor of the clubhouse, and features not just the names and scores of all the Masters champions but of all the runners-up. There aren’t many trophies that recognize who finished second. There’s something cool about the scaled-down version the champions get. Those have the

Ippei Mizuhara entered a courtroom in shackles. Shohei Ohtani flew around Chavez Ravine on wings. On the most sobering, sensational of Fridays, one man’s arrest became another man’s freedom, a simple ballgame serving as a striking example of brilliance unburdened. Just down the street from Dodger Stadium, Ohtani’s longtime interpreter and close colleague Mizuhara surrendered to authorities on charges of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani to supply his gambling addiction. Hours later, Ohtani did not give an inch to the San Diego Padres, clobbering a first-inning home run and adding two scorching doubles in an eventual 8-7, 11-inning defeat. The two events felt related. The divergence of the two paths now feels real. Now that Mizuhara is facing 30 years in prison, Ohtani can now strictly concentrate on facing pitchers. You think the Dodgers superstar feels relieved at this first sign of closure? You think he hasn’t been affected by all the chatter that perhaps he was a knowing participant in the gambling scandal? You think he’s thrilled the cynicism has been silenced? The calmest of stars was certainly feeling something, because he

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, one of California’s most vocal critics of Governor Gavin Newsom and who publicly vowed not to enforce safety mandates during the COVID-19 Pandemic, may reportedly be running for the state’s top office himself in two years. The Press Enterprise reported on Friday that Bianco is entertaining a run for Governor in 2026. Nick Mirman, a political consultant who has worked for the Sheriff, told the newspaper that Bianco has been approached “by several folks across the state (of) all different kinds of political persuasions.” Heavy rain, gusty winds and high surf in store for Southern California this weekend Bianco would run as a Republican, the newspaper reports. He’s dipped his toes into the political waters in recent months, campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Steve Garvey. Bianco’s public spars with Newsom gained attention during the pandemic in 2020, when he refused to enforce lockdowns. The next year, he announced that he wouldn’t impose vaccine mandates for Sheriff’s Department employees in Riverside County, a policy he credited for a boost in job applications.

Tick season is starting across the country, and experts say it’s important to be vigilant this year. As springtime temperatures start to rise — typically above 45 degrees — you will want to think about how to protect yourself and your pet from ticks in grassy, leafy and wooded areas. As outdoor activities ramp up, so does exposure to ticks, which are on the prowl and ready to hitch a ride on you or your pet. “The adults will crawl up onto the edges of grass and they have a behavior called ‘questing,’ so they’ll stick their legs up in the air and they will wait for you to come by, and the moment you brush their legs, it hangs on and holds on for dear life,” said William Miller, an assistant professor of biology at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Heavy rain, gusty winds and high surf in store for Southern California this weekend According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ticks are most active from April until September, when temperatures are warmer. Miller said that in West Michigan, for example
