Deadly toxic algae bloom off Southern California coast ends
The toxic algae bloom off the Southern California coast that's been killing and sickening so many sea lions and other marine mammals has finally ended. "Our demoic acid toxic hostess event is over, for the time being," biologist Dave Bader said. Bader, who works for San Pedro's Marine Mammal Care Center, said recent samples of the ocean water do not show signs of the algae that create the toxic domoic acid bloom that has been afflicting sea lions, dolphins, pelicans and even whales over the past three months. "It's been rough," Bader said. "We've seen so many animals." For those three months, Bader and his team have triaged and treated thousands of animals that were seizing, dying or dead on beaches from Ventura to Orange County. Rescue centers shared the burden and pain during the toxic algae bloom. "It's not just the volume of animals," Bader said. "The females were pregnant, almost all of them, they all aborted their young ... Also, there were so many dolphins this time around as well, which is also tragic. So to see the volume of animals, the types of animals that are coming in, it was really hard on everybody." Typically, the algae blooms begin in June. However, this round of domoic acid spread began much earlier and has the possibility of returning later this year, according to Bader. "We still have another several months when a bloom of this type could reoccur," he said. Bader said humans created this crisis, and can ultimately solve it. "We need to do a better job of mitigating against the future effects of climate change, making it not as bad as it could be. That's step number one," he said. "It's a big step that we have to take. The ocean is telling us it's not well, it's not healthy, and we have to take those big steps to solve problems like this."

Stockton City Council considers banning ski masks to curb crime
STOCKTON — The Stockton City Council is considering a ban on ski masks after a string of crimes involving suspects wearing them. "When you have an 8th grader robbed at gunpoint with people wearing ski masks in a city where there is no snow, you have to address some of those issues," said Vice Mayor Jason Lee. Lee is looking into the idea of introducing a ski mask ban ordinance. "This started months ago, where there was a violent crime in my district where other people were shot and they were wearing ski masks," he said. On May 30, down the street from Delta Sierra Middle School, police say two teenagers and a 31-year-old man were robbed at gunpoint by men in ski masks after a graduation ceremony. "It's a great memory and, unfortunately, this family doesn't have a great memory," said City Councilmember Michelle Padilla, who represents the district where it happened. She supports the idea of a ski mask ban and says that stopping crime starts at home. "They need to ask those questions. Why are you buying that mask? Who are you hanging out with? Where are you going after dark?" she asked. Police say ski masks were also involved in a homicide from March. Recently released police sketches show two people, wearing ski masks that only reveal their eyes, wanted in connection with that homicide. "Where there may have been pockets of crime, it's plaguing our entire city. Now, we have to address the crime that is happening," said Lee. Part of the Stockton City Council hopes that if people are walking the streets of the city wearing a ski mask, they can be stopped and questioned by police. However, some advocates here in Stockton say this doesn't address the root issues that are causing crime. "Violence is rooted in challenging educational conditions, and poverty, and Stockton suffers from both of those," said Nuri Muhammed with Advance Peace Stockton. "So until we can address those two issues, they'll have to do things like a ban on face masks." Vice Mayor Lee says the ordinance could be introduced before summer and would not infringe on religious practices.

Muncy's 2 homers and Freeman's RBI double lift Dodgers over Mets 6-5 in 10 innings
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy homered twice, including a tying shot in the ninth inning, and Freddie Freeman doubled home the winning run in the 10th to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets 6-5 on Tuesday night. Freeman's slicing fly to deep left field was misplayed by Brandon Nimmo, who got twisted around and appeared to lose sight of the ball as it dropped on the warning track beside him. That allowed automatic runner Tommy Edman to score from second base with one out. The Dodgers earned their 20th comeback win of the season after blowing a 4-1 lead they established in the first. They also tied the series opener in the ninth on Monday, but lost 4-3 in 10 innings when reliever Tanner Scott got knocked around. This time, Scott (1-2) retired the side in the 10th, striking out Juan Soto and Pete Alonso before Nimmo grounded out. ___ AP MLB:
