Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Jellyfish Sightings Rising In Newport Beach Due To El Niño, Rising Temps (patch.com) — Newport Beach residents are seeing more jellyfish in the Back Bay near Newport Dunes, with resort staff sharing recent videos of the translucent drifters. Experts say seasonal patterns plus El Niño and warmer waters are likely driving unusual marine life sightings across Southern California, from jellyfish and hammerheads to a rare yellow-bellied sea snake at nearby Crystal Cove.
2. Newport Harbor girls flag football opens 'flood' to beat Corona del Mar (mercedsunstar.com) — Newport Harbor's girls flag football team dominated rival Corona del Mar 38-7 in Newport Beach, staying just one game behind Huntington Beach in the Sunset League race. Strong second-half defense, including four sacks and key interceptions, set up multiple touchdowns from quarterback Scarlett Guyser and teammates, keeping the Sailors unbeaten all-time in Battle of the Bay matchups.
3. Court Watch: Out-of-State Accused Faces $71,000 in Warrant Bail After Failure to Appear (davisvanguard.org) — A defendant who lives out of state now faces $71,000 in warrant bail after repeatedly failing to appear at the Harbour Justice Center here in Newport Beach. The judge cited the person's history of missed hearings and prior withdrawn warrants in deciding to issue a new warrant and set bail on multiple fraud and drug-related charges.
4. Clear Ownership and EHR Triggers Can Close Gaps in Oncofertility Referrals (cancernetwork.com) — A Newport Beach fertility specialist explains how unclear responsibility between oncology and reproductive medicine often delays oncofertility referrals for cancer patients. She recommends assigning a dedicated navigator and using electronic health record triggers so local and national clinics automatically prompt fertility counseling as soon as a new cancer diagnosis is entered, before chemotherapy begins.
5. Kelvin wave hitting Southern California: What to expect as El Niño threatens the coast again (latimes.com subscription) — Newport Beach is already seeing significant beach erosion as a powerful Kelvin wave and strengthening El Niño push sea levels higher along the Southern California coast.
