• Homelessness was down during pandemic, so how do Orange County communities replicate that?

  20-05-2024 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  When Orange County’s recent point in time count of people living on the streets and in shelters came back higher than in 2022, officials said the loss of pandemic-era protections such as rental assistance and the eviction moratorium contributed to the return to numbers closer to those seen in 2019.
  When those emergency resources and protections went away, folks became more vulnerable again to falling into homelessness, they said.
  But having seen their benefits, some cities in Orange County

  Helping in my quest to somehow mention KHJ (930 AM) every chance I get is Chuck Martin, the last great programmer of the legendary station’s Top 40 days. You may remember Martin as the man who brought the station back from near death in 1979 when he re-invigorated the on-air presentation with great music, new promotions, and most importantly a strong staff … including soon-to-be-superstar Rick Dees, who led KHJ mornings from ’79 until the station’s Top 40 sign-off two ye

  “NO Climate Crisis’ Says Coalition of 1,600 Actual Scientists,” ran the headline on the May 13 California Globe article by Katy Grimes.
  In an open letter to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the 1,600 scientists noted low levels of air pollution, no danger of drought, and contended that carbon dioxide (CO2) is beneficial to the earth and other evidence.

  LOS ANGELES — You know it’s going to take something truly and seriously substantial to knock these Dodgers off track.
  Something much more than, say, miscommunication in the outfield. More than a Mookie Betts error. A Betts day off. More than Freddie Freeman hitting .295 instead of .300-something. More than a season-long Chris Taylor conundrum.
  More any bobblehead-induced hassle to dim the vibe at Dodger Stadium, where on Sunday the majority of the announced sellout crowd of 52,656 wa

  That level of desperation wasn’t necessary Sunday as the Bruins (40-10) jumped on Grand Canyon in the first inning, extending their lead enough to end the game after the fifth inning via the run-rule. With UCLA’s 9-1 victory over Grand Canyon (50-13), the Bruins advanced to the NCAA Super R
