His NFL dreams along the way often were colored in orange and blue, and this week he made that a reality by signing a one-year contract with the Bears.He joins a growing list of Bears players from the Northwest suburbs, including fellow tight end Cole Kmet, returning linebacker Jack Sanborn and new linebacker T.J. Edwards.“Did I think I’d be a tight end for the Bears? No,” Tonyan said on a videoconference call with Chicago reporters Friday. “But did I think I’d play for the Bears? Y...

SAN DIEGO -- California Highway Patrol officers are warning of a potential spike in driving under the influence arrests as St. Patrick’s Day celebrations bloom all over the county. “We are proactively looking for those DUI drivers. St. Paddy’s Day is a holiday where a lot of people are drinking,“ said Officer Jared Grieshaber with the CHP. With this St. Patrick's Day landing on a Friday, officers say it gives revelers a little more freedom, because there is no work Saturday morning. Woman found dead after hit-and-run in Carlsbad “She’s my DD, she’s my ride home,” said a partier in Hooley’s Irish Pub. A DUI can cost roughly $10,000 in legal fees and fines and potentially suspend a driver's license.The legal alcohol driving limit is .08 and smaller people can get to that limit in as much as two drinks in an hour. Officers say drive safe or take an Uber, it will be the best $20-30 you’ll ever spend.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:39:24 GMT

San Jose residents are speaking out against plans for a Buddhist temple in the Evergreen area over concerns it will cause the neighborhood to be overrun with traffic and noise. The 13,900-square-foot Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom Temple is planned for a 1.86-acre vacant corner lot at the intersection of Ruby and Norwood avenues, which previously included a home and dilapidated barn. While neighbors say they are not opposed to the Khmer community having a place to worship, they don't want the temple near their homes. Murali Pabbisetty's home backs up to the proposed temple site. These are the top 10 vehicles targeted for catalytic converter theft, according to Carfax He worries the project is too big for the site and will decrease pedestrian safety and bring too many cars to the area that could block the entrance to the cul-de-sac where he lives.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Maxi Kleber drilled the winning 3-pointer at the buzzer on a pass from Kyrie Irving, who scored 38 points in the Dallas Mavericks’ stunning 111-110 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.With Luka Doncic sidelined, Kleber did a remarkable imitation of the injured superstar who has repeatedly beaten the Lakers with big shots over the years.Kleber first hit three free throws with 7.2 seconds to play after Anthony Davis unwisely fouled him on a 3-point attempt, and Davis made just one of two for Los Angeles after getting fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass. Dallas got the ball to Irving, who drew a double-team and found Kleber for an open 3-pointer released just before the horn.Irving scored 13 points in the fourth quarter of his return from a three-game injury absence for the Mavs, who avoided falling into a three-way tie with the Lakers and the Timberwolves in the tight Western Conference standings.Davis had 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Lake...
