Opinion: Tijuana River sewage crisis leaves San Diegans helpless

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:25 GMT

“If I had a chance to tell Gov. (Gavin) Newsom something about the pollution in the Tijuana River Valley, I would tell him to get it fixed as soon as possible because the odor is horrible, and I don’t know what else it’s doing to our health. Like my partner says, if this was happening to rich people in La Jolla, this would have been taken care of a long time ago.”That’s what Analisa Corrales, a nine-year resident of the Nestor neighborhood in San Diego, told me when I asked how she felt about the pollution from the Tijuana River Valley and how aerosolized contaminants might be affecting the health of her and her three children. They are 12 years old, 7 years old and 6 months old, and they live less than 2 miles from the sewage-choked river.“My son is constantly congested with allergies and has stomach aches. My 7-year-old has allergies, too,” Corrales said. “I’m sure it has something to do with the air we breathe, and I’m worried about the health of my baby.”The stench is so unbeara...

No. 16 Arizona faces rival Arizona State with Pac-12 title game still within reach

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:25 GMT

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Coaches will do anything they can to motivate new players for a rivalry game.Speeches, videos, bringing back former players — anything to get them to understand the importance of beating their rival.Arizona coach Jedd Fisch’s tactic for Saturday’s game at Arizona State is simple.“I just showed them the billboard,” he said this week.The billboard was put up by Arizona State fans on Interstate 10 between Tempe and Tucson after the Sun Devils’ 70-7 blowout in 2020.The sign with “No pity for the kitty” bracketed by the score of the game is no longer there — Fisch showed the team a picture — but the memory is a reminder to Wildcats fans how far the program has come.Coach Kevin Sumlin was fired shortly after the beatdown in Tucson and Fisch was hired as his replacement, inheriting a 12-game losing streak that would stretch to a school-record 20. Arizona finished that season 1-11, but Fisch still managed to pull in a stellar recruiting class that...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:25 GMT

A cease-fire agreement between the Hamas militant group and Israel has been confirmed by both parties, along with Washington and Qatar, which helped broker the deal that would bring a temporary halt to the devastating war that is now in its seventh week.The Israeli government said that under an outline of the deal, Hamas is to free over a four-day period at least 50 of the roughly 240 hostages taken in its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Israel is to release some Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Loss to Austria caps a disastrous year for Germany ahead of hosting Euro 2024

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:25 GMT

DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — This was meant to be Germany’s rebuild year ahead of hosting the European Championship. The team is a wreck.With less than seven months until the tournament, the defining moment of Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to Austria came when Leroy Sané was sent off for shoving an opponent. Coming in a friendly with no particular bad blood between the teams, that incident seemed to reflect just how miserable and exasperating it’s become to play for four-time World Cup winner Germany.“The red card for Leroy sums it all up. The frustration, the disappointment in ourselves too,” captain Ilkay Gündogan told broadcaster ZDF, adding there’s a lack of “positive energy” in the team.Coach Julian Nagelsmann — who now has one win from his first four games — picked an attacking lineup with three forward players and two more, Kai Havertz and Julian Brandt, as nominal wing-backs. It didn’t work.Germany created almost no chances in the first half and struggled t...
