With temperatures stretching close to one hundred degrees in some of our inland areas. He spoke with firefighters whove been on high alert in clayton. Brian . . . , i can definitely vouch for the what you said about the heat. And as you can see behind me. Its easy to see why firefighters are concerned about fire danger. At the calfire station off of marsh creek road in clayton. The hot weather hasnt gone unnoticed. Most of those fires so far have been in southern california. But hot weather here also tends to draw people outside. Many fires are started by people who are unaware they were ever creating risk. Thats more of a problem in rural areas. But a fire that starts in remote parks. Doesnt take long to reach front yards. All it takes is one spark and one little wind and it is amazing how fast a fire can spread. Fire fighters do not want to discourage people from enjoying themselves. They say have fun but be safe. High temperatures prompted a spare the air alert today in the bay area.

The coowner of Kentucky Derby and preakness winner California Chrome is still upset over the loss at belmont.

The california factory worker blasted other owners of horses who did not run in the first two legs of the triple crown, the Kentucky Derby and preakness, leaving them rested for the belmont to take down California Chrome. This is a cowards way out in my opinion. This is a cowards way out. Critics have called coburns comments sour grapes. He didnt back down sunday morning. These people, they nominate their horses for the triple crown. This means three and they hold out for two and they come back and run one. That would be like me at 62 playing basketball with a kid in a wheelchair. But the triple crown has been won only eleven times and that test of endurance, winning three races of different distances in just five weeks, is why its horse racings greatest achievement. Coburns 77year oldtrainer was more generous in defeat. Horses are not cowards and people arent cowards. I think it was a little out of text myself, but, hey, he was at the heat of the moment and dont forget he is a fairly new owner. Sometimes your emotions get in front of you. Coburn went to the barn to check on California Chrome who has an ailing hoof. The owner still sounded in pain. And if theres ever a chance that we have another horse that has earned his way to the Kentucky Derby, well run in kentucky and then the hell with the rest of them.

There could be irreparable damages to his body or her body and its just because of whatever she was doing. Oakland has independent witnesses saying that the mayor had the green light. Is hard to say who was at fault but were hoping the surveillance camera from that grocers store across the street will help with that. That there are two sides to every story and only on 4 do we interview with the major. She told me straight up that she was not at fault.

But to the owners of this brewery this, is an operation that does just more than bottled beer and wine. You can buy a bottle and you know that you are supporting creation of jobs for veterans and Wounded Warriors and vetted and effective programs for recovery and rehabilitation. The veteran owned and operated business employs over 50 fellow vets. And with every sale, a portion of their proceeds are donated to programs for returning soldiers that help them get back on their feet. It really is a brotherhood. Here veterans come to work and unwind in the company of fellow veterans. One of the Biggest Challenges for veterans returning to the workforce is coping with the very real fear and isolation they experience beyond the battlefield. The stress of war stays with them. Here, though, veterans say they feel like they belong. Vallery winery opened up a lot of doors for me. Vo aaron hart is a former us army specialist.
