¡¡¡¡The summer season begins in Del Mar in less than a month, bringing with it a wealth of exciting events, but also a large influx of crowds and traffic.As one of the smallest cities in San Diego County, Del Mar has just about 4,000 people. But on any given day in the summer, more than 100,000 people could come to town. Within four months, the city hosts the San Diego County Fair, the Del Mar Horse Racing season, the Kaaboo concert weekend and also some of the busiest beaches in the area."That's part of the city's story, we're used to it," says long-time Del Mar resident Bettina Experton. "The Council knows how to handle it."The Del Mar City Council will meet Monday, May 7th, to discuss their plans for the 2018 season.They'll add ,000 to the budget for Sheriff's Department overtime. That helps put extra deputies on patrol to watch for petty theft, car break-ins and other small crimes near the beach. The city also adds lifeguards on busy weekends.To help defray the costs, parking is strictly enforced throughout the summer, with another officer added to patrol the meters. People have to pay for parking seven days a week in some areas, with meters going until 10 pm on weekends."We provide services for close to 5 million people a year," says Vice Mayor Dave Druker. "Somehow we need to pay a little bit of those services through our parking enforcement. Plus our lifeguards are on duty 365 days out of the year."The Council meeting begins at 4:30 at Del Mar City Council Chambers, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Suite 100. 1555
¡¡¡¡The U.S. will finish the month of November with more than 4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, by far the most it has recorded in any month since the beginning of the pandemic.According to a database kept by Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. recorded 4.3 million new cases of COVID-19 throughout the month of November. That represents more than 30% of the 13.3 million cases recorded throughout the country since the virus reached the U.S. in February.Throughout November, the U.S. set 10 daily records for newly-reported COVID-19 cases. The peak came on Friday, when Johns Hopkins says the U.S. saw more than 205,000 new cases ¡ª though those numbers may have been skewed by the Thanksgiving holiday when some local governments chose not to report new info.The mountainous increase in cases has resulted in a frightening increase in hospitalizations and hospital resource use. According to the COVID Tracking Project, a record 93,000 Americans across the country were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Monday morning, an all-time record. On Oct. 31, that figure stood at just over 47,000. While hospitalizations have spiked across the country, 66% of those hospitalized are in the Midwest and South, meaning many rural hospitals in those regions are at capacity. With hospitals full, doctors and nurses are struggling to treat patients who are suffering from other emergency ailments.Sadly, the number of deaths from COVID-19 has steadily increased throughout the month. As of Monday morning, an average of 1,436 Americans had died of COVID-19 each day for the last week. On Oct. 31, that figure sat at just over 800. Therapeutics and new treatments for the virus have caused the death rate to fall since the springtime when nearly 2,500 Americans were dying every day. But despite the improvements in treatments, the U.S. continues to lose about as many Americans every two days that were lost in the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.And while several companies have reported encouraging news regarding potential vaccines in recent weeks, health experts warn the pandemic will get much worse before they are widely available.Prior to Thanksgiving, Dr. Anthony Fauci ¡ª America's top infectious disease expert ¡ª warned that the holiday could cause the rate of transmission to rise exponentially, given that some celebrations included large indoor gatherings."The chances are that you will see a surge superimposed on a surge," Fauci said. 2450
¡¡¡¡The University of Utah nurse at the center of a highly controversial arrest that was recorded on the officers' body cameras has reached a 0,000 settlement with all parties involved.In addition, Alex Wubbels announced Tuesday afternoon that she will use part of that money to launch a new initiative to make body camera video more accessible to all residents in Utah involved in a police incident."I am not in the business of setting anyone up for failure. I want us to be successful in moving forward. And I think this is a small step we can provide to enable that potential success if we are going to start asking the police departments to have body cameras,¡± Wubbels said outside the Salt Lake City Police Department while standing next to her attorney, Karra Porter.The nurse added "it's shocking" that today's police forces don¡¯t all have body cameras."We all deserve to know the truth. And the truth comes when you see the actual raw footage. And that¡¯s what happened in my case. No matter how truthful I was in telling my story, it was nothing compared to what people saw and the visceral reaction people experienced when watching the footage," she said.Wubbels' widely publicized arrest happened July 26 when Salt Lake detective Jeff Payne was sent to University Hospital to collect blood from a man injured in a crash that killed the driver who caused it. Wubbels ¡ª citing policy agreed upon by the hospital and the police department ¡ª declined to tell Payne where the patient was or allow him to draw blood.The detective, with direction from his supervisor that day, Lt. James Tracy, ultimately arrested the screaming nurse after physically pushing her out of the emergency room and holding her against a wall while handcuffing her. Police body camera video of the incident caused outcries of protest from across the country and prompted Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Salt Lake Police Chief Mike Brown to personally apologize to Wubbels for the way she was treated while doing her job.Payne was fired from the police department. Tracy was demoted to the rank of officer. Both men have since appealed their discipline. Their appeals remained pending as of Tuesday.Wubbels and Porter ¡ª who never filed a civil lawsuit ¡ª announced she had reached a settlement with all "U.-related and Salt Lake City-related parties" who would have potentially been named if a lawsuit had been filed."There will be no legal lawsuit. This part of this is over. We¡¯re hopping the discussion about body cameras continues,¡± Porter said.Matthew Rojas, spokesman for Salt Lake Mayor Jackie Biskupski, said both the city and the university agreed to pay 0,000 each."Salt Lake City has been focused first and foremost on ensuring policies and procedures are changed so things like this don¡¯t happen again, and we are glad we could come to a resolution with nurse Wubbles," he said.Since Wubbels went public with the arrest video, Porter said her client has had several goals, including changes to policy on how police interact with nurses; accountability by the officers involved; starting a public discussion on the importance of body camera video; compensation; and helping others.Wubbels is working with the American Nurses Association on a campaign to prevent what happened to her from happening elsewhere. She also would like to speak before the Utah Legislature during the next session about the importance of making body cameras mandatory for all police agencies. And she and Porter want to help all Utahns have access to body camera video for their own cases."Thanks to Alex, there will be more transparency as body cam footage becomes more readily available in Utah,¡± Porter said.Wubbels said she was grateful for how Salt Lake City has responded to her arrest and the settlement, but also noted she still becomes emotional when thinking about the incident."This landed in my lap. This is not something I sought out. I didn¡¯t seek out the last four months," she said. "I¡¯m incredibly humbled by change that¡¯s happened."This is very emotional," Wubbels continued, "This is an emotional situation. ¡ I¡¯m still processing this. I mean, this is something I never expected to happen. But I¡¯m also honored by the weight of it and honored to be the one to help make progress in our society at large."Porter said body cameras are also important for protecting officers, with both Wubbels and Porter emphasizing there are many good officers. They stressed that fact when talking about the fatal shooting and manhunt at the university that forced the campus to go into lockdown Monday night."I literally park where this incident happened. I walk, in the dark, every night to my work, back and forth to my car where this incident happened,¡± Wubbels said, adding the police "did a really good thing today. And that¡¯s a highlight for what comes out when good cops do good work."Watch the original body camera video here: 4923
¡¡¡¡The University of Cincinnati's Board of Trustees voted Tuesday morning to remove Marge Schott's name from the university's baseball stadium and another space in the school's archive library immediately."Marge Schott¡¯s record of racism and bigotry stands at stark odds with our University¡¯s core commitment to dignity, equity, and inclusion," UC president Neville Pinto said. "I hope this action serves as an enduring reminder that we cannot remain silent or indifferent when it comes to prejudice, hate, or inequity. More than ever, our world needs us to convert our values into real and lasting action.¡±The board wrote in their resolution that they stand with Pinto to fight inequality."The change we want to see starts with us," the board wrote.The UC baseball stadium was constructed in 2004 and the facility was named Marge Schott Stadium in the spring of 2006 after the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation made a million gift to the Richard E. Lindner Varsity Village.RELATED: Pro, college athletes want University of Cincinnati baseball stadium to be renamed amid protestsA petition was started online by former UC baseball player Jordan Ramey to rename the stadium due to Schott's many racists, homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks she made while she owned the Cincinnati Reds between 1984 and 1999.Ramey learned of the board's unanimous vote Tuesday morning on social media."It's great news," Ramey told WCPO. "You can see where coming together all races - black, white, everybody, all backgrounds - what community together can do for a community in a short notice. So this is a testament to that."UC athletic director John Cunningham told Ramey last week that there was momentum for the change."I had a good feeling about it," Ramey said. "You don't have to be a big name to make a change and that's huge."UC pitcher Nathan Moore was instrumental in helping Ramey with the petition. He spoke with Dr. Pinto on the phone Tuesday morning after the board's vote."Very overjoyed, really," Moore said. "It's a great feeling just to know the Cincinnati community, the school, our board wants to move everything in the right direction. And I think everybody is on the same page with that. To see this happening is amazing."UC baseball coach Scott Googins said he supported Moore, Ramey, and the other players who helped with the petition."I'm happy for Nate Moore and bringing this to light and the change that happened," Googins said. "I'm just supporting those guys. Obviously it's progress. I'd say that. We're making some good chances and it's progress."WCPO previously reported that a Reds employee said Schott used racial slurs to refer to black Reds players; her marketing director said she called him a "beady-eyed Jew," and at one point, she said Adolf Hitler had been a good leader before World War II."Just imagine how a Black student might feel walking past that, knowing that her amount of money in a donation made it OK for her name to be commemorated on a building here," Moore said.Ramey's petition received national attention regarding the stadium name."This is such a touchy topic people don't talk about which we should as a community," Ramey said. "This is a very important topic that people gloss over. It's very important for us to realize how fast this did happen. That all it did was coming together, unity, and somebody asking for change."Ramey said Tuesday's vote wasn't a celebration per se, but it has brought awareness quickly and is an indicator of the direction of the country."As an athlete for me personally as an athlete going through UC it was conflicting to play under that name," Ramey said. "It was. I'm going to put my all out and my teammates are going to put their all-out - we're brothers - but at the end of the day that's a conflicting situation to be put in as a black athlete at the university. I don't want that to happen for anybody else coming into the next generation."The Marge and Charles Schott Foundation previously made a statement about the petition."We can ask you to learn from Mrs. Schott's mistakes as well as her great love for Cincinnati," a statement from the Schott Foundation reads. "We fully support the decisions made by the organizations that have received grants from the Foundation."St. Ursula Academy decided previously to remove Schott's name from two of their campus facilities: a stadium and a school building.There was no immediate word from UC when the exterior letters of the stadium name will be removed. There is also a plaque at the stadium.Ramey doesn't have a preference for the new name of the stadium. He's just glad the community will help determine its direction."Alumni Field is what they are throwing around right now," Ramey said. "So Alumni Stadium that would be cool. We'll see where that goes but I'm glad that we got to where we're at today."WCPO's Jasmine Minor and Zach McAuliffe first reported this story. 4916
¡¡¡¡The term "money laundering" was never more appropriate than this week, when Dutch police found around 0,000 stuffed inside the drum of a washing machine.A man present in the house during Monday's raid was arrested on suspicion of -- yes, you've guessed it -- money laundering.Authorities were checking for unregistered residents in western Amsterdam when they found the load."The municipal administration revealed that no one lived at the address," the police told CNN in a statement.
