    How do you get oil-based paint off the human body?
    You make like a duck.
    And oily ducks use Dawn dish detergent. At least that’s what the TV commercial says.
    Dawn is just what they use backstage at the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach to get oil-based paint off the volunteers who pose as sculptures in the production’s “tableaux vivants,” or living pictures.
    That’s the word from Juli Berryhill. The Laguna Woods resident paints the bodies of the female volunteer

    Rams ice NFC divisional round in OT on Harrison Mevis’ winning field goal
    CHICAGO — A three-and-out to open overtime put all the pressure on the Rams’ defense in Sunday night’s divisional-round matchup with the Chicago Bears. The game had gone to sudden death, and a field goal would end the Rams’ season.
    But safety Kam Curl wasn’t ready to go home, instead making a diving interception at the Rams 22 to give the ball back to quarterback Matthew Stafford. And Stafford wasn’t going to come up short twice.

    They all brought some measure of frustration to Laguna Woods residents in 2025, resulting in heated meetings and town halls, even a protest, and a slew of letters to the editor in the Laguna Woods Globe from readers with all kinds of opinions.

    LOS ANGELES — An Anaheim man is facing a federal charge after allegedly promising “bloodshed” at Disneyland during a visit by Vice President J.D. Vance and his family last summer, according to court papers obtained Friday.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican lawmakers are scrambling to contain President Donald Trump’s threats of taking possession of Greenland, with some showing the most strident opposition to almost anything the Trump administration has done since taking office.

    LOS ANGELES — Bob Chesney’s first roster as UCLA football coach was always going to dramatically look different.
    And if going by Nico Iamaleava’s collegiate-career experience alone, the Bruins may have been searching in the transfer portal for a new starting quarterback. A year ago, UCLA thought Appalachian State quarterback Joey Aguilar was its transfer portal signal caller.

    Vanity doesn’t dissipate with age. And neither does gravity.
    Some contend that the older we get, it isn’t just our veins that become more pronounced; becoming vainglorious is also a distinct possibility. Being proud of one’s accomplishments isn’t in and of itself a bad thing. And there are those who misconstrue a factual anecdote for boastfulness.

    What to consider when helping an older person to age in place
    Q. I am in despair and exhausted regarding my 99-year-old mother. My father, while he lived, did not encourage her to learn anything about electronics or the Internet. She cannot even manage her hearing aids and refuses to use a cellphone. Despite being fairly capable in her 99th year, she is completely cut off from the world. I have to manage everything to keep her at home. Our part-time caregiver speaks little English. Would moving my mother to an assisted living residence increase her chances

    How California governor candidates say they will tackle homelessness
    Homelessness — and affordability, housing availability and myriad other issues tangential to a very visible problem in California — is among the many concerns Californians have that the bevy of gubernatorial candidates will be asked to address as the campaign for governor continues this year.
    In fact, a recent Public Policy Institute survey found 8 in 10 Californians are at least somewhat concerned about homelessness in their area.

Perhaps life would be simpler if I were observing Christmas and Easter, which everyone knew about, instead of trying to explain Passover and the High Holy Days.I often felt a sense of being on the outside looking in to a world that didn’t include me.

    In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, most of us end the day with a warm meal and a secure roof over our heads. Even as affordability tightens, we stretch our budgets to make it work.
    But there is a quieter, often invisible group of families, seniors, and veterans in Orange County who are barely hanging on – struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, afford medicine, and keep the lights on. They are one paycheck away from losing housing.
    That’s housing insecurity. It’s one ste

    Jon Coupal: Why even bother with a state budget?
    Understandably, very few citizens of California follow closely the state budget process which, for the 2026-27 fiscal year, just kicked off with the release of the Governor’s proposal. Of course, part of that may be due to the complexity of public finance issues, but the reality is that since 2010 with the passage of Proposition 25, the state has no discernible annual spending plan. 
    Technically, the timing of passing a budget hasn’t changed. It’s merely that the deadlines
