Nick Bosa compares new 49ers teammate Javon Hargrave to Aaron Donald, Chris Jones

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:53:37 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa jumped early.He couldn’t contain his excitement.With the 49ers still a month away from training camp, Bosa and the team have already started making bold statements about how good the defensive line should be this season.Before minicamp ended last week, Bosa compared newly signed defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to two of the game’s best in Aaron Donald and Chris Jones.“People don’t really know how good he is overall,” Bosa said of Hargrave. “He’s not talked about – he might be, I don’t know – but I feel he isn’t quite talked about in the Aaron Donald, top echelon, Chris Jones (tier of player). But I feel he played like that last year and throughout his career. So having him and Arik [Armstead] inside should be pretty fun.”Hargrave, a former Philadelphia Eagle who signed a four-year, $81-million contract to join the 49ers this season, has been consistently improving during his time in the NFL.Last season he had a career-high in most categories, tota...

Editorial: Newsom’s sleazy move to roll back police accountability

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:53:37 GMT

When it comes to police reform, Gov. Gavin Newsom is an opportunistic hypocrite.In 2021, the governor with much fanfare signed laws expanding access in California to records of police abuse and establishing a long-overdue process to investigate cops and revoke their certification.Now the governor is trying to slip through without public review changes that would roll back key transparency elements of that legislation he approved less than two years ago.State legislators should not enable this deceit. They should reject Newsom’s attempt to weaken law enforcement accountability just as it’s becoming apparent how widespread police abuse is in California.For example, we’ve learned of rampant racism in the Antioch Police Department, a lack of punishment for San Jose cops who inflicted serious injuries on civilians, and excessive and often reckless use of police dogs in Richmond. Meanwhile, more than 80 law enforcement officers working in California were convicted criminals with rap sheet...

Marin County neighborhood gets rare visit from a black bear

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:53:37 GMT

Caitlin Estrella was awake in the middle of the night comforting her daughter after a nightmare when she got an phone alert from her home security camera: animal detected.Usually, Estrella said, this meant a squirrel, skunk or the occasional stray cat. This time, she stared in disbelief as a large black bear strolling through her yard filled her phone screen.“I couldn’t even comprehend what I was looking at,” Estrella said. “It was so wild. I had to do a double take.”The bear passed through the Terra Linda neighborhood around 2 a.m. Tuesday. It is the second bear sighting recently, following one a few weeks ago in Larkspur. In 2021, a black bear was spotted in a tree in San Anselmo.Bear encounters are still rare in the area, mostly due to unregulated killing of the Point Reyes population that rendered them extinct by 1901, according to the National Park Service.“It’s still not a ton, and usually it happens in places with more open space … and typically in West Marin,” Marin Humane s...

In response to court ruling in Berkeley, Santa Cruz suspends natural gas prohibition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:53:37 GMT

SANTA CRUZ — A recent court ruling on the city of Berkeley related to the use of natural gas in building developments is having an impact on policy here in Santa Cruz.The Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to suspend a natural gas prohibition ordinance it passed in 2020 after an April ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a similar ordinance in Berkeley that was OK’d in 2019.The Santa Cruz ordinance, which prohibited natural gas infrastructure in new buildings, was modeled after Berkeley’s. The city’s attorney analyzed the ruling and it was determined that, even with some notable differences between the two prohibitions, there was no way to avoid applicability in Santa Cruz.“Eventually we’ll come back with another ordinance of some kind for changes to our building code that might try to get at some of the same goals that this natural gas prohibition ordinance was getting at,” said Matt VanHua, principal planner in the city’s Planning and Communit...

Opinion: Bay Area’s largest port must consider environmental justice

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:53:37 GMT

With smoke blanketing the East Coast from Canadian wildfires, the dangers of polluted air are at the forefront of millions of Americans’ minds. This is something Californians are all too familiar with, but it’s also a danger that people in my West Oakland community face even outside of wildfire season.Air pollution is significantly worse year-round in port-adjacent communities like where I live, and decisions we make today can impact our air for generations. The Army Corps of Engineers recently announced a project that would widen the turning basins at the Port of Oakland to allow more visits from “ultra-large container vessels” — 1,300-foot megaships longer than the height of Salesforce Tower. Without more community input and a better environmental-review process, this project will move us in the wrong direction in our fight to correct decades of environmental injustice.Each megaship could carry over 19,000 containers that need to be unloaded and transported by truck, r...
