UC Thelma Hansen Fund to host climate webinar series, April 27-29
April 7, 2021 - By Pamela Kan-Rice, Author - Assistant Director, News and Information Outreach - Members of the public are invited to attend a free webinar series discussing the effects of
climate change on Southern California. At the three-day webinar Climate Change: What Does It Mean for Southern California?, UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain and UC Agriculture and Natural Resources scientists will discuss climate changes anticipated, impacts on agriculture, wildfire risk and how to prepare for it, and ways to communicate about climate and to build resilience in communities.
COLUMBIA - Police confirmed Tuesday that the remains found at Rock Bridge State Park this month were those of Mengqi Ji, who went missing on October 10, 2019.
With this new evidence, the trial for Joseph Elledge, who is being held on child abuse and murder charges pertaining to this case, could completely shift gears.
Local Defense Attorney Ben Faber said this discovery could change the route the defense takes in explaining Mengqi Ji s death. It really (cuts) out the possibility that the defense could claim that she, for example, ran off, Faber said. You would think that that would be kind of a natural defense when there s no body that can be used to prove that the person s actually dead.
Lemon Economics in Ventura County

News Reporter With California Ag Today, I’m Tim Hammerich.
A recent study on the costs and returns of establishing and producing lemons in Ventura County was released by UC Cooperative Extension in Southern California and UC Agricultural Issues Center.
Faber… “We grow lemons along the coast because it doesn t get hot, and we do a really good sour lemon. The trees flower year round, and so there s production year round.”
That’s Ben Faber, a Farm Advisor based in Ventura County. He says lemon prices had been stagnant for a long time, but started to really rise in the past decade or two with the popularity of restaurant dining.
