Santa Clara County asks judge to increase fines owed by San Jose church for violating COVID orders

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:35 GMT

In the latest development in the lengthy legal between Santa Clara County and Calvary Chapel, a judge rejected a Santa Clara County bid to increase the $1.2 million court ordered fines owed by the San Jose church for ignoring public health mandates at the height of the pandemic.During a court hearing last Thursday, the county argued the earlier dollar amount was reached in error. The county began fining the Hillsdale Avenue church in August 2020 for holding indoor services with maskless congregants — a violation of public health orders at the time.But the church refused to pay the fines, which in 2022 the county said had amassed to nearly $3 million. In April, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Evette D. Pennypacker ordered Calvary Chapel to pay $1.2 million, reducing the fines to a specific period — November 2020 through June 2021 — when the church didn’t follow the mask mandate.But last week, the county’s attorneys argued that number fell short o...

Will Smith, the San Jose Sharks’ top prospect, is officially a college student.Smith, 18, is starting classes at Boston College this week, roughly two months after the Sharks selected him fourth overall at the NHL Draft in June.The question now is how long Smith will stay in Chestnut Hill. Could he turn professional after his freshman year, or perhaps stay for an additional season, chase a national title in 2025 if he hasn’t won one already with BC, and sign with the Sharks in two years?Boston College’s standout freshman class also includes fellow first-round picks Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard, and Sportsnet draft analyst Sam Cosentino speculated that the college careers of those three players, who were linemates with the U.S. National Development Team, might be tied together to some extent.“I look at Will likely as a one-year college player,” Cosentino told this news organization before the draft in June. “What’s unique about their situation is that the whole line is going...

Judge: Peter Navarro’s testimony is ‘weak sauce’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:35 GMT

By Devan Cole | CNNThe federal judge overseeing Peter Navarro’s contempt of Congress criminal case on Monday called his defense arguments “pretty weak sauce,” injecting last-minute uncertainty into how the former Donald Trump adviser will be able to defend himself during his upcoming trial.Navarro, Trump’s one-time trade adviser, testified Monday in his defense during a key pre-trial hearing in his case. He’s facing charges for defying subpoenas issued to him by the House select committee that investigated the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, claiming he did so because Trump asserted executive privilege in the matter.But during the nearly three-hour hearing before US District Judge Amit P. Mehta in Washington, DC, the judge appeared highly skeptical of Navarro’s testimony, noting it’s from one side of the conversation.“I still don’t know what the president said,” Mehta told Navarro’s attorney Stanley Woodward, referring to a February 20, 2022, call during which Navarro said it ...

Harder said that though Representatives Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff were at his event at Lindley House, it was also a chance for voters to speak to the candidates. “This isn’t about me," Harder said. "This is a tremendous opportunity for these three candidates, one of whom will almost certainly become the next U.S. senator from California, to hear exactly what they need to hear from the Valley.” A conversation with Speaker Emeritus Anthony Rendon All three candidates had similar answers when it came to what issue voters were talking about.“Mostly concerns about the high cost of housing,” Schiff said.“The top issue in California is the cost of housing,” Porter said.“Who in the world can afford to live in California on 15 dollars an hour?"

Raiders have to decide if O’Connell has done enough to become the No. 2 QB

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:35 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Has Aidan O’Connell done enough to become the Raiders’ second-string quarterback?That’s a major question for management and coaches as they decide how to reduce Las Vegas’ roster to 53 players by Tuesday.If O’Connell, who received a long look in all three preseason games, has played well enough to pass Brian Hoyer on the depth chart into No. 2 behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo could determine how many quarterbacks the Raiders take into the season.The Raiders could decide that Hoyer being the backup makes the most sense for now, to have a 15-year veteran who knows coach Josh McDaniels’ system from their days together in New England. It also could be important to have someone with Hoyer’s experience in case Garoppolo — who has an injury history — gets hurt at some point.O’Connell, who was drafted in the fourth round this year out of Purdue, has flashed potential in training camp and preseason games. If the Raiders vie...

Florida prays Idalia won’t join long list of destructive storms with names starting with ‘I’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:35 GMT

Floridians pray that when Idalia hits the Gulf Coast it won’t join the long list of destructive Atlantic Ocean storms whose names started with “I.”Since 1955, 13 Atlantic storm names beginning with “I” have been retired, according to the National Weather Service. That happens when a storm’s death toll or destruction is so severe that using its name again would be insensitive, according to the World Meteorological Organization, which oversees storm naming. Some letter has to be No. 1, and hurricane season often reaches its peak around the time that the pre-determined alphabetical storm-name list gets to the “I.”After “I” storms, 10 names that begin with “F” have been retired, as have nine storms beginning with “C,” University of Miami hurricane expert Brian McNoldy said.In addition to the 13 retired “I” names from Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, a handful of Pacific Ocean storms beginning with “I” have been retired since 1982.The U.S. began using female names for storms in 195...
