This is the second year Armando Flores brought his family along to package meals at Ramona Garden Park. When it came around this year, we thought we got to go again, Flores said. He brought even more family members this year to help give back to the community. We were just walking through the festival, and we noticed a lot of ruckus coming from this building, so we took a peek in, and we were like, that’s pretty cool. They invited us in and started doing it and caught a little buzz, Flores said. Volunteers worked through Sunday afternoon to package food for local food banks and pantries. Todd Huebler, a Pismo Beach Rotary Club member tells me a donation of $35 provides 83 meals. Food banks right now are stretched; they have less donations and less volunteers and more people need their services, Huebler said. Just under 50 people gathered near Ramona Garden Park to help package over 10,000 meals. Local clubs like Pismo Beach Rotary, Grover Beach Rotary Club, the AGHS Interact Club, and the Clark Center hosted in collaboration with The Outreach
A brush fire that has burned about 100 acres on Tenaja Truck Trail was contained to about 25% this evening. The fire reported early Sunday afternoon was initially estimated at 10 acres, but had engulfed about 99 1/2 acres by 3:45 p.m, according to Cleveland National Forest officials. El Carissa Village was under an evacuation warning and Ortega Highway was closed in both directions, the department stated. According to the CNF, a reception site was established for evacuated residents and small pets at Lakeside High School at 32593 Riverside Drive in Lake Elsinore. The San Jacinto Animal Shelter at 581 S. Grand Ave was taking in larger animals. As of 6:30 p.m., the forward rate of spread was under control and fire crews were constructing line around the fire perimeter.
Arguing that the request is too broad, a 60-year-old former UCLA emergency department nurse is asking a judge to quash a subpoena by the UC Regents that seeks medical information about her dating back to 2011 as part of her retaliation lawsuit. Lisa Pettinelli’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit alleges she was the subject of a backlash that included her 2021 firing because she spoke openly about her concerns about patient care and employee work conditions. Her claims are for retaliation and failure to prevent discrimination and/or retaliation. The regents’ subpoena asks Pettinelli’s doctor to produce, among other things, all medical, office and emergency room records, radiological reports, medical tests and inpatient and outpatient charts, plus X-ray, MRIs, CT scans and radiological reports dating back to October 2011. In court papers filed Aug. 15 with Judge Kerry Bensinger in advance of a Sept. 24 hearing, Pettinelli’s attorneys maintain the subpoena asks for too much information that has no bearing on the regents’ defense. “The … subpoena is vastly overbroad and seek documents that violate Pettinelli’s right to privacy, has no relevance to this case, nor
Fletcher Cove on Sunday morning was a dreamy Southern California postcard: deep blue sky, scattered beach umbrellas and not a single cloud cluttering the sky. The sand was also immaculate, at first glance. But those who took a closer look saw the grains sharing space with junk such as scraps of green plastic, chunks of charred wood, nails and discarded grape stems. For two hours, about a dozen volunteers made it their mission to pluck out as much of that trash as they could and leave the beach cleaner than they found it. They all had different reasons for showing up: to do good, to teach their children about volunteerism, to learn about wildlife and conservation. Yet, they were all drawn to the beach by Azi Sharif, the founder of an animal protection nonprofit called Wildlife Jewels, which monitors wildlife on beaches from La Jolla to Orange County and engages in other animal protection and welfare efforts. Beach clean-up organizer Azi Sharif admires the trash collected by a volunteer on Sunday, Aug. 25, at Solana Beach in Fletcher Cove Beach Park, CA. (Brittany Cruz-Fejeran /
A man accused of hijacking a car with several others in Vista early Sunday was arrested after he allegedly led officers on a pursuit that ended in a crash, sheriff’s officials said. The victim told deputies that five men, armed with handguns, took the car around 1:25 a.m. on South Santa Fe Avenue near Civic Center Drive, Lt. Matthew Carpenter said in a news release. Deputies coordinated a search for the stolen car. The type of car wasn’t released. Some time later, the car was spotted around West Vista Way and Emerald Drive — about 3 miles from where it was stolen — and deputies attempted to pull over the driver, Carpenter said. Investigators said the driver took off and a pursuit began. The car ultimately crashed into a small median. Deputies found one man inside suffering from injuries not thought to be life threatening. He was arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. Investigators did not clarify what happened to the four other alleged carjackers. Officials also did not say where and when the crash occurred. The investigation is ongoing.
El colombiano Cucho Hernández anotó dos tantos y tuvo una asistencia, para que el Crew de Columbus derrotara por 3-1 a LAFC y conquistará la Leagues Cup el domingo por la noche en Lower.com Field de Columbus, Ohio. Fue la segunda derrota del LAFC en una final ante Crew después de haber perdido la Copa MLS el año pasado en el mismo escenario. Hernández castigó al conjunto angelino en dos momentos claves ante la mayoría de los 20,190 aficionados que terminaron rendidos ante el talento del originario de Pereira. El delantero cafetero primero anotó al 45 de cabeza justo antes del medio tiempo. En la segunda mitad, LAFC mejoró y consiguió el empate por medio del francés Olivier Giroud al 57, en lo que fue el primer tanto de la nueva contratación del LAFC con su nuevo club en MLS. Luego al 92, Hernández concretó el 2-1 con un tiro centro que el arquero francés Hugo Lloris no pudo atajar. Ya cuando LAFC estaba entregado al ataque, en un contragolpe, Hernández sirvió para Jacen Russell-Rowe, quien anotó el 3-1 al fusilar a Lloris. El partido
Monday, August 26, 2024 2:03AM Search crews again were combing the Colorado River at Grand Canyon National Park for an Arizona woman missing after a flash flood days earlier. SUPAI, Ariz. — The body of an Arizona woman who went missing in the Grand Canyon National Park after a flash flood days earlier was recovered Sunday, park rangers said. The body of Chenoa Nickerson, 33, from the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert, Arizona, was discovered by a group rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon around 11:30 a.m. Sunday, the park said in a statement. Rangers recovered Nickerson’s body, which was transported to the rim by helicopter and transferred to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s office. National Park Service officials said Nickerson was swept into Havasu Creek above the Colorado River confluence around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. She wasn’t wearing a life jacket. Nickerson was hiking along Havasu Creek about a half-mile (800 meters) from where it meets up with the Colorado River when the flash flood struck.

NEW YORK — Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance says Donald Trump would not support a national abortion ban if elected president and would veto such legislation if it landed on his desk. “I can absolutely commit that,” Vance said when asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether he could commit to Trump not imposing such a ban. “Donald Trump’s view is that we want the individual states and their individual cultures and their unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we don’t want to have a nonstop federal conflict over this issue.” The Ohio senator also insisted that Trump, the former president who is the Republican nominee this year, would veto such legislation if it were passed by Congress. “I mean, if you’re not supporting it as the president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it,” he said in an interview that aired Sunday. Vance’s comments come after Democrats spent night after night of their national convention in Chicago last week assailing Trump for his role in appointing the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional

In addition to the nearly 200,000 volunteers signing up to help the campaign. By Fritz Farrow, Gabriella Abdul-Hakim, and Will McDuffie Monday, August 26, 2024 2:55AM Kamala Harris’ campaign touted a surge in donations during the DNC. Meanwhile Sunday, JD Vance claimed Donald Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if elected. CHICAGO — Vice President Kamala Harris raised $82 million the week of the Democratic National Convention, bringing her total haul since launching her candidacy last month to $540 million, her campaign said. The sum is buttressed by nearly $40 million raked in during and after Harris delivered her acceptance speech at the convention on Thursday night, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement, which noted the campaign crossed the half-billion-dollar mark moments before she took the stage. The hour after the vice president’s remarks was the campaign’s best fundraising hour, O’Malley Dillon said. The total reflects what was raised between the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and their joint fundraising committees. In addition to growing its financial war chest, a third of which was from new donors last week, the Harris
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Lathan Norton was sick and didn’t play on Saturday at the Little League World Series. But on Sunday he scored the winning run in the championship. Lathan raced home from second base on an overthrow at first as Lake Mary, Florida, rallied to beat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings and claim the title. “It was the greatest feeling ever,” said Lathan, who had a fever of 102 on Saturday but recovered before the championship. “I still haven’t had time to let it all sink in, but it feels like the most amazing thing ever.” Taiwan clung to a 1-0 lead from the first inning until Florida’s last at-bat. The Southeast region representatives outhit Taiwan and had a runner on third in three separate innings but couldn’t get a run across. Then, in the bottom of the sixth, Florida got runners on first and second and DeMarcos Mieses, who struck out in his previous two at-bats, delivered. Hitting the gap in shallow left, he gave Chase Anderson enough time to sprint home and tie the game. The bunt that was heard around the

A man in his mid-20s who was piloting a single-engine airplane was airlifted to a trauma center with critical injuries after a fiery crash in Ventura County, authorities said. The crash east of Santa Paula Airport was reported shortly before 12:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.
