He spent $3.3 million and has an eye-popping $29 million left in his war chest.Rival Democrats Porter of Irvine raised $3.1 million for the quarter, spent $2.2 million and has $10.4 million left in the bank, while Rep.

Yosemite: Major damage to buildings discovered in high country from record snowfall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:24:51 GMT

Crews have finally finished clearing the massive amounts of snow that buried the Tioga Road, the famous 46-mile long route through Yosemite National Park’s scenic high country that is enjoyed by tourists every summer from all over the world.But the key roadway still can’t be opened to the public, park officials said Monday, because of major damage that workers discovered to the facilities in the area.Record amounts of ice and snow damaged at least 60% of the buildings at Tuolumne Meadows, caving in roofs at employee housing there and damaging the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge, gift shop, post office and other facilities.Boulders and trees in danger of falling still need to be cleared some portions of the road. And the roadway itself near Olmstead Point, a breathtaking overlook that is prone to avalanches in the winter, has crumbled.“This was a huge snow year. It’s great that we had it. But these are the impacts,” said Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman.Gediman said cr...

Report answers critical question about Martinez refinery exposure, but more remain unanswered

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:24:51 GMT

Contra Costa Health declared that the dust released into nearby neighborhoods by the Martinez Refining Company last week “does not pose an increased, long-term risk to public health.”That statement, which followed several days of sampling and laboratory analysis following the release on July 11, may put an end to immediate concerns from the community about the threats to their health. But it leaves lingering questions about the cause of the release, and the refinery’s willingness to promptly inform the public.According to the county health department, coke dust is a black, powdery residue similar to charcoal that is created during the refining process. Although it could have caused “irritation of the throat, lungs and respiratory system” during the release, health officials said it was safe to wash off surfaces using soap and water.The release occurred last Tuesday at approximately 8:30 a.m., and lasted for one minute. Two hours passed before the refinery activated the county’s Comm...
