Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:44:55 GMT

(KRON) -- Vallejo police say they are proposing to not respond to certain house alarm calls due to the department's limited staffing. In addition, they say about 98 percent of house calls end up not being a real emergency. Police will continue to respond to manually-activated panic alarms and silent robbery alarms along with video alarms that show a crime occurring in real time, officials said. Richmond day spa under investigation for bacterial illness, Contra Costa Health says The department is also looking at response tactics to verified alarms which are when an eyewitness or an alarm company can verify the burglary. The idea will be brought up in a town hall meeting on Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Vallejo Room located on Santa Clara Street.

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:44:55 GMT

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — A group of environmental protesters caused the men’s road race at the cycling world championships to be delayed for more than 45 minutes Sunday, and officials near the town of Falkirk said five of the demonstrators had been arrested.The group “This Is Rigged” posted on social media that it was responsible for the protest, which took place about 80 kilometers into the 271-kilometer route from Edinburgh to Glasgow. The UCI, cycling’s world governing body, said in a statement it was “working closely with all relevant authorities to minimize disruption to the race and also to ensure the safety of riders.”The protest interrupted an early breakaway, and the UCI allowed riders to sit in team cars and take in food and drink during the delay. Its president, David Lappartient, was on hand and chatted with several of the riders before the race resumed.“This Is Rigged” says on its website that it is opposed to new fossil fuel projects in Scotland.

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:44:55 GMT

Mathieu van der Poel crashed while leading the road race at the world championships, breaking his shoe and tearing his jersey, yet the Dutch cyclist maintained his poise, quickly remounted and pulled away for a remarkable victory Sunday.Van der Poel had been riding with two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar, one-day specialist Wout van Aert and Mads Pedersen, a former world champion. They pulled back Alberto Bettiol’s solo breakaway, then van der Poel headed off on his own, flying through the rain and over the wet roads to victory in downtown Glasgow, Scotland.“It was one of the biggest goals I had left, and to win it today is amazing,” he said. “I almost completed my career, in my opinion, so for me it’s maybe the biggest victory on the road. I cannot imagine yet riding in the rainbow (jersey) for the next year.”That includes the Paris Olympics, where van der Poel will be among the favorites next summer.Not even a mistake Sunday, when Van der Poel slid his bike i...

Yankees Notebook: Boone says Stanton ‘trying to preserve himself’ after slow jog home

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:44:55 GMT

Giancarlo Stanton has never been a burner, yet his slow jog home in Saturday’s game still drew some questions and criticism.The slugger had a hard time getting to the plate in the Yankees’ 3-1 win over the Astros in the third inning. With the game tied, 1-1, and DJ LeMahieu up with two outs, Stanton tried scoring from second base on a single toward the right-center field gap. Third base coach Luis Rojas sent the trotting Stanton home, and he was thrown out by more than a few feet.After the game, Boone said that Stanton, who has been plagued by lower body injuries over the years, is healthy.“Yeah, G’s good,” Boone said Saturday. “I just didn’t think he got a great round on third and got a little careful over there. Look, ball, two outs, hit in the gap like that, you got to take your chances.”With Stanton batting fourth and playing right field on Sunday, Boone answered more questions about the player, whose sprint speed was in the 70th p...

Red Sox notebook: Trevor Story won’t return until Thursday at the earliest

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:44:55 GMT

No matter how important this week’s games may be, the Red Sox indicated Sunday they won’t rush Trevor Story back until he’s 100% ready.Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Story will use the entirety of his 20-day rehab assignment, which is due to expire on Wednesday. Story is scheduled to play Sunday, sit Monday and play Tuesday and Wednesday for the WooSox, and after that he will return to Boston and the club will assess things from there.Barring any unexpected changes, Story could be activated by Thursday at the earliest.The issue for Story isn’t his surgically repaired elbow, Cora said, but simply bouncing back from game action. Cora said it’s common for players to struggle physically during spring training as they ramp up to regular season form, and Story is still working his way through that process.“It’s just the bounce back, it’s spring training for him so I don’t think it’s the repetitions and all that, it’s how he...
