Firefighters battling a 2,700-acre wildfire on the western edge of Yosemite National Park pushed the blaze farther from homes, but only as flames raced deeper into the heart of the park, officials said Tuesday. [...] residents of the threatened communities of Old El Portal and Foresta, near the park's Highway 140 entrance, praised firefighters for keeping the blaze from demolishing their communities. Olotumi Laizer had just returned home after a long drive Saturday to Manteca, where he had picked up lunch at Chipotle for his wife. High temperatures on top of dense brush and oak trees dried by three years of drought have fanned the fast-moving fire.

Want less government? Vote for abortion rights | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM

Ron DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban in 2022. On May 1, DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban became law; many women and girls at that point don’t even know they are pregnant. History proves that people are going to continue to need abortion access.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM
Pier Sixty-Six, the landmark that rises high and stands out with its crown of spires, could be deemed a historic structure in Fort Lauderdale, preserving it forever.

It’s considered important for its historic associations with the Phillips Petroleum Company. “It is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and significant structures in Fort Lauderdale and represents an important historical time in our city’s history,” said Vice Mayor Steven Glassman. The public meeting will be at 6 p.m.
