Today's riddle: What did the fish say when she hit a wall? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Man Gets 5 Years for Molesting Underage Relative (mynewsla.com) — A 70-year-old man has been sentenced to five years in prison for repeatedly molesting a young female relative over four years in Huntington Beach, with abuse beginning when she was 11. The victim reported the assaults to police in 2019, and after a jury conviction on one count, the defendant pleaded guilty to three additional lewd-act felonies and must now register as a sex offender.
2. Big game: Oilers vs. Mustangs (orangecountytribune.com) — Huntington Beach football fans get a marquee matchup Friday as the undefeated Oilers host 4-0 Yorba Linda at Sheue Stadium, with standout performances on both sides promising a tight contest. The week's schedule also highlights other nearby high school games and celebrates Huntington Beach's girls' flag football team reaching a national semifinal and earning all-tournament honors.
3. Orange County restaurants shut down by health inspectors (Sept. 3-10) (ocregister.com) — Health inspectors temporarily shut down several Orange County eateries this month, including San Sivar on Adams Avenue in Huntington Beach, for food safety violations. The weekly report lets you quickly check if any of your regular spots were affected and notes when previously closed restaurants, like one in Westminster, have been cleared to reopen.
4. Orange County's first e-bike buyback event draws huge crowd, hundreds of vehicles (ocregister.com) — Orange County's first e-bike buyback at Angel Stadium drew hundreds of families trading in e-bikes and e-motos for gift cards amid rising crash injuries. Local concern hits home in Huntington Beach, where a 20-year-old surfer died last year in an e-bike collision, as officials push safety education and tougher enforcement on reckless riding and parental responsibility.
