Published by Sam Flores

Residents of a UK county will soon benefit from new electricity lines as part of a £56million project. SP Electricity North West engineers are currently replacing 47km of power lines, which, according to bosses, “has taken years of planning”. Phase one of the work involves replacing 152 pylons and other electrical assets across the West Coast of Cumbria to support the county’s economic growth and power demand for homes, businesses, and transport. Vincent Cranny, SP Electricity North West’s head of capital delivery, said: “In what is a significant engineering project involving hundreds of people, our investment will strengthen the backbone of the county’s power network as the demand for electricity increases.” According to New Civil Engineer, work from Roosecote to Sellafield is being carried out on SP Electricity North West’s 132kV transmission network, which feeds into the Cumbria Rings, the county’s wider power network. The energy supplier is also in regular communication with the authorities, while environmental experts have communicated with some protected areas. In order to keep “impact and disruption to a minimum”, most …

Moreno Valley Springs fire, Riverside County Crown fire contained

Moreno Valley Springs fire, Riverside County Crown fire contained

Published by Sam Flores

The largest wildfire in California this year is no longer growing, fire officials said Saturday. The Riverside County Springs fire, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds up to 50 mph on Friday, did not grow overnight, with firefighters battling the blaze on the ground and aircraft dropping water from above, according to Terra Fernandez, a spokesperson for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Riverside. “We have a pretty good hold on it,” said Fernandez. The fire calmed down overnight due to calming winds and increased humidity, which slowed growth. Firefighter hand crews were on the ground cutting fire lines to help contain the blaze. As of Saturday night , the 4,176-acre fire was 95% contained, according to Cal Fire. No people have been injured and no structures have burned, Fernandez said. All evacuations orders and warnings have since been lifted, according to Cal Fire. Fire officials said crews planned to work through the night and into Sunday to monitor and patrol the fire perimeter. In Los Angeles County, the Crown fire, which has …

L.A. County youth homelessness has surged, study finds

L.A. County youth homelessness has surged, study finds

Published by Sam Flores

The number of homeless students in Los Angeles County is surging, with thousands more unhoused in the span of a single school year. The number of students experiencing homelessness in the county rose by 28% — from 47,689 in the 2022-23 school year to 61,249 in 2023-24 — according to a pair of studies from the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools. It is the largest increase the county has experienced in the last five years, according to researchers. The spike exceeded California’s homeless student rate, which rose by 16% for the same school year from 246,480 to 286,853. The increase is due to several factors, including a shortage of affordable housing and a lack of federal funding for school districts, that disproportionately affect communities of color in which students are already struggling with economic hardship. “A shortage of housing, economic instability and other barriers [are] making access to housing more difficult, just as important temporary funding streams and policies supporting access to housing are expiring,” said Mayra Cazares-Minero, a research analyst at the …

Residents speak out against proposed data center in Imperial County

Residents speak out against proposed data center in Imperial County

Published by Sam Flores

Residents packed the chambers and poured into the parking lot during a Thursday meeting of the Imperial County Board of Supervisors held to solicit feedback about plans to develop a massive data center without first conducting a state environmental review. Speakers were overwhelmingly opposed to the project, citing a range of health and environmental concerns, and criticized the board for allowing the proposal to move forward despite outcry from the community. “This project does not exist in isolation; it impacts real neighborhoods, families and schools and is also setting a precedent for how you treat your constituents,” said Gina Snow, who lives near the proposed site. “If the full scope of this project cannot be clearly presented and independently verified, then residents are essentially being asked to make decisions without information they deserve.” Kristian Salgado urged the board to follow the lead of the Monterey Park City Council, which recently enacted a moratorium on data centers and will put the issue to a public vote after a proposed project elicited backlash from the community. “Across …

‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’: How a reality juggernaut was made

Published by Sam Flores

Roughly 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began from an infinitely hot and dense single point, then expanded and stretched — otherwise known as the Big Bang Theory. But 20 years ago, students of the Bravo school of science witnessed an explosive moment emanating from Orange County — specifically a wealthy enclave known as Coto de Caza — with five women forming a fireball of aspirational intrigue and drama that, over time, spawned an ever-expanding reality TV universe — otherwise known as “The Real Housewives.” The first episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premiered on Bravo on March 21, 2006. The series followed the lives of Jeana Keough, Vicki Gunvalson, Lauri Peterson, Kimberly Bryant and Jo De La Rosa. The first season of the series was just eight episodes, but over time it expanded and morphed into a franchise, spreading to 12 other U.S. locales, from Beverly Hills to New York to Rhode Island, the latest entrant premiering next month. It’s also produced more than 30 international editions across 20 countries, a dozen …
