Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'Rotten Egg' Odor From Hospital Construction Raises Environmental Concerns (westsidecurrent.com) — Residents in Marina del Rey are worried after a strong "rotten egg" odor and milky-looking water were linked to Cedars-Sinai's new hospital construction and groundwater discharge near the harbor. Air quality officials traced the smell to a backup sewer tank project, now paused, while water experts warn that contaminants and nutrients in treated groundwater could pose risks to marine life if not carefully managed.
2. Man Killed in Marina Del Rey Identified (mynewsla.com) — A 58-year-old man, identified as Rance Turner, was struck and killed Tuesday night while walking in a traffic lane on Lincoln Boulevard at the Marina (90) Freeway entrance in Marina del Rey. Police say the southbound vehicle's impact threw him onto the roadway, where he died from blunt force trauma despite a rapid response from firefighters and paramedics.
3. What Low Vaccination Rates Could Mean for Flu Season 2026 (newswise.com) — Cedars-Sinai is now offering flu shots at several clinics, including a convenient location for Marina del Rey patients, as experts warn that low vaccination rates could worsen the 2026 flu season. Local residents who've seen a Cedars-Sinai primary care provider recently can book appointments online and get guidance on timing, new vaccine options, and when to seek in-person or virtual care for flu symptoms.
4. Parks Associates: Fox-Roku deal highlights value of TV operating systems (thedesk.net) — Marina del Rey will host Parks Associates' "Future of Video: Business of Streaming" conference in mid-November, bringing media and tech executives to town just as Fox pursues a major acquisition of Roku. The event will dig into new research on streaming platforms, advertising, and viewer behavior, putting local hotels and venues at the center of a national industry conversation.
5. IROH Foundation (insidephilanthropy.com) — A Marina del Rey–based family foundation, IROH, quietly directs multi‑year unrestricted grants to evidence-backed nonprofits that are ready to scale, mostly in global health, education, poverty and climate work. While it doesn't accept unsolicited proposals, its presence brings philanthropic capital and financial-sector ties into the community, with occasional sizable U.S. education and local-service grants alongside its international portfolio.
