For those of us who were glued to the Big Bear bald eagle cam, there are other SoCal nests to coo over. Three eaglets successfully hatched on Catalina Island and another two were seen in Orange County.Peter Sharpe, a wildlife biologist with the Institute for Wildlife Studies, confirmed that a bald eagle had two eaglets in her nest on a private property in Orange County along the Santa Ana River.
The nonprofit organization also announced that three eaglets successfully hatched on Catalina Island. There could soon be more eaglets, with seven of the eight eagle couples on the island having laid eggs. Huntington Beach has taken steps toward privatizing it's public library system after a contentious city council meeting where more than 100 people spoke out on the proposal.More than 100 people signed up to speak at the tense, more than four-hour long meeting, with some library staff and supporters expressing concerns the change will lead to a decline in quality, services, and community connection.
Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark, however, pushed back, saying it would be irresponsible to not explore other options to save taxpayer money, a message echoed by some of her conservative colleagues on the council majority.The city was approached by a company, Library Systems & Services , in late January with a proposal that it could cut costs of running the city's four-branch library system by $1 million a year.
Specifically, he said LS&S could cut costs on back office functions, including the city’s integrated library system license, collection management, marketing, community outreach, and website.Dozens of Huntington Beach Public Library employees spoke out against the outsourcing proposal at Tuesday night’s meeting.
She said she’s also concerned about the quality of the collection if the library system is outsourced. “They won't stay in the library,” she said. “Some have gone as far as telling me that they won't even step foot into the library.” He said neither he nor other residents have seen LS&S’ unsolicited proposal, and the council needs to show how they got here.
Councilmember Pat Burns said it’s just a request for options, and he doesn’t see any harm in seeing what outsourcing can offer. He also criticized some community groups for using “fear tactics” and not giving the process a fair chance. She said the public library system is the heart of the city, pulsing with shared aspirations and dreams.
The new ordinance is said to allow staff to suspend library privileges of disruptive patrons. It also allows for an appeal process for those who are banned.Opponents of the ordinance say it criminalizes the city’s unhoused population since some of the rules regulate body odors and personal hygiene.Long Beach officials unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday that would allow staff to enforce the library’s code of conduct.
The new changes come after the city’s Billie Jean King Main Library had to be shut down for almost a month in 2022 following incidents that threatened the safety of patrons as well as staff.To address the mental health crisis on library grounds, the library is collaborating with the city’s Department of Mental Health and is in the process of hiring a social worker.
Citing its own data, TikTok said 40% of small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. found the app “critical to their existence.” If the ban passes in the Senate and is eventually signed by President Joe Biden, TikTok’s owners — Beijing based ByteDance — will have to find another buyer for the app within six months or face the ban.
“I believe him — I think it might just be an excuse that they're using to try to ban a competitor of Meta and Google,” Leanage said.Today's highs will be a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday, with the beaches reaching the mid to upper 60s, including some patchy fog until mid morning, low 70s for the inland coastal areas. The valleys high temperatures will max out to 77 degrees, 75 degrees for the Inland Empire.
While the Debbie Allen Dance Academy alumna has been a commercial dancer for Beyoncé, Janet Jackson and Madonna, Dolphin says theater dancing is a completely different beast, especially as an older Ailey dancer. “Being from L.A., I remember going to see Ailey and just screaming at the top of my lungs every time they came,” Dolphin says. “There was just so much rawness that we gave to the dancers. It's beautiful to be on the other end giving it to them and then at the end of all that we've given, they give it back to us. It’s like an exchange and I think that it'll be nice to do it with L.A.”Robert Quintana painted this mural of Octavia E. Butler outside the school library in 2020.
“Last year, the fungal expert was such a hit,” Daily said. “I had to have them back this year because the kids just thought it was so cool to see all those different weird mushrooms.”
