Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

Planning out an event like Viva CalleSJ isn’t easy. You have the usual challenge of closing miles of streets to vehicles, getting the word out to businesses and residents along the route, and organizing entertainment. And, then, of course, there are always those little details you might miss or can’t plan for.But everything’s looking good so far for this Sunday’s edition, “Willow to Roses,” which invites walkers, cyclists and skaters to take over the streets and explore a route that connects San Jose’s Municipal Rose Garden, Willow Glen and San Jose State University. After months of unusually strong rain and windstorms, the forecast calls for sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s.There will be “activity hubs” at each endpoint, featuring DJs, live bands, folklorico dancers, food trucks, bike repair clinics and even the San Jose State Marching Band. It runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and you can get more information at www.vivacall...

Sonoma County officially ends local drought emergency

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

(KRON) -- The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to end the local drought emergency it declared two years ago. Wet winter storms dropped nearly three feet of rain on Santa Rosa. Two main reservoirs that supply Sonoma County exceeded their normal storage capacity for the first time since 2019.Combined, Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino held 372,000 acre-feet of water when winter ended March 20, the most ever going into the dry season. An acre-foot is equal to approximately 326,000 gallons, or enough to meet the annual indoor and outdoor needs of three average households in Sonoma County.

This is because California's weather patterns are becoming increasingly volatile as a result of climate change. 126 inches of snow recorded in Sierra Nevada mountains "We’ve made it throug...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies aren’t saying whether their star players will be available Wednesday night as both teams try to avoid falling into 0-2 holes before hitting the road in their respective first-round series.Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Memphis’ Ja Morant both exited their series openers Sunday after getting hurt on drives to the basket, with Antetokounmpo bruising his lower back and Morant aggravating an already injured right hand. Antetokounmpo didn’t practice Tuesday, but the Bucks haven’t ruled out the possibility the two-time MVP could play Wednesday in Game 2 against the Miami Heat. The Grizzlies called Morant a game-time decision against the Los Angeles Lakers after an MRI revealed no ligament damage.An injury report released Tuesday listed Antetokounmpo as doubtful and Morant as questionable.“We have 24-plus hours before game time, so he’ll get treatment,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday afternoon. “We’ll see how he f...

Lawyers for missing woman’s husband want DA to be punished

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

Lawyers for a Colorado man once charged with murder and still considered a suspect in the presumed death of his missing wife are asking for prosecutors to be disciplined for what they called intentionally withholding evidence in a bid to convict him.Barry Morphew’s lawyers allege in a complaint made public Tuesday that District Attorney Linda Stanley and six prosecutors in her office pursued “a political agenda of locking up Mr. Morphew in response to a media frenzy that prosecutors themselves helped create” after the 2020 disappearance of Suzanne Morphew. The complaint was filed last month with Colorado’s Office of Regulatory Counsel, nearly a year after Stanley’s office requested that the charges against Morphew be dropped shortly before he was to have faced trial. He had also been charged with tampering with a human body, tampering with physical evidence, possession of a dangerous weapon and attempting to influence a public servant.In their complaint, Morphew’s ...
