📰 News we're reading

1. Outbreaks Of Highly Contagious Disease Reach Record High In CA (patch.com) — San Francisco readers are being warned about a sharp rise in tuberculosis cases statewide, with California’s infection rate now nearly double the national average. Local concern is heightened by a significant outbreak at Archbishop Riordan High School, where hundreds tested positive for latent or active TB, prompting extensive testing and monitoring by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. Experts at UCSF link the trend to housing insecurity, substance use, incarceration, and other social factors.    

2. California king salmon returns to San Francisco markets after 3-year shutdown (cbsnews.com) — Fresh California king salmon is finally back at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf and local markets after a three-year commercial shutdown, giving seafood lovers new dockside options. Local fishermen are relieved but cautious, warning that warming waters and reduced river flows still threaten the long-term viability of the fishery and their livelihoods.    

3. San Francisco Firefighters Race to Rescue Stranded Pug From Steep Beach Cliffs (pethelpful.com) — San Francisco firefighters recently carried out a dramatic rope rescue to save Fergus, a pug stranded on the cliffs at Fort Funston, highlighting both their skill and the risks at this popular off-leash beach. The story also spotlights a locally designed dog harness now used in such rescues and urges dog owners to keep pets leashed near the park’s unstable bluffs for everyone’s safety.    

4. 'She just has a huge heart': Local teen honors late mother with cookie fundraiser (pressdemocrat.com) — A Rohnert Park teen’s homemade “Crissy’s Cookies” fundraiser is turning her grief into more than $1,000 for brain tumor research, and she’ll present the donation at the Northern California Brain Tumor Walk at the San Francisco Zoo on June 13. Her family, many with deep Bay Area ties, plans to join her there to honor her late mother and support continued advocacy.    

5. Bay Area clue stumps 'Jeopardy!' contestants (mercedsunstar.com) — San Franciscans watching “Jeopardy!” got a Bay Area shout-out when contestants were stumped by a clue about the Point Reyes lighthouse, described as north of San Francisco. The episode also recalled past clues tied to San Francisco neighborhoods and a former California governor, highlighting how local geography can trip up out-of-state players.
