Yuba, Sutter, would join Colusa and wine country in redistricting
A map of proposed new congressional district boundaries in California released by the California Legislature shows Marysville and Yuba City leaving the First Congressional District if voters approve in a November special election, and joining a district that would include Lincoln, part of Roseville, much of Yolo County, and some of the best wine growing regions of Napa and Sonoma counties. The Fourth Congressional District would be the new home of Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa counties under the plan proposed by the Legislature in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's call for voters to consider a mid-decade redrawing of congressional districts to favor the Democratic Party to counter a move by the Texas Legislature to redraw the lines of five of its districts to benefit the Republican Party in the 2026 mid-term elections. Under the Legislature's proposed new boundaries, the existing First District, which includes all of Sutter and Yuba counties and most of the populated areas of Yuba County, and currently represented by Richvale Republican Doug LaMalfa, would be reshaped from a district with a 16 point registration advantage for Republicans to one with a 10 point registration advantage for Democrats. The existing Third District, which includes most of the foothill region of Yuba County, would also be redrawn under the proposal. The district is currently represented by Kevin Kiley, a Republican from Rocklin. The existing district leans Republican with a two-point registration advantage. Under the proposed new maps, the district is being redrawn with an eight point advantage for Democrats.

Marysville Police Department names its new police chief after former chief retired
The Marysville Police Department has named its next police chief following the retirement of Christian Sachs, which came weeks after an officer at the department was shot and killed while serving a search warrant. Vance Nabeta, who took over as the interim police chief when Sachs retired, will be sworn in as police chief on Tuesday. Nabeta's career began in 1993 with the Marsyville Police Department as a police officer. He's held roles at the Yuba City Police Department, the California Department of Justice and the San Bruno Police Department. He returned to Marysville as a retired annuitant detective. He later accepted a lieutenant role and came out of retirement to serve full-time. He's been serving as the interim police chief since April. "As Chief of Police, my goal is to serve our community with integrity, humility, and a commitment to excellence," Nabeta said in a statement. "I strive to meet the needs of both our department and our city, while fostering and developing the next generation of leaders who will carry our mission forward." When Sachs retired, he said the loss of officer Osmar Rodarte "shook me to my core." Rodarte was killed in March when he was serving a search warrant in a transnational drug trafficking operation.

The Acura RSX Is Back—But It's No Sports Car
Nearly 25 years ago, the Acura RSX debuted as a successor to the Integra, and it very much continued in that car's vein—a fancier version of the Honda Civic. Now, the RSX is back as something completely different, an electric crossover with a fastback roof. Acura is debuting the new RSX Prototype during Monterey Car Week, and it previews a soon-arriving EV. Unlike the ZDX , which uses GM's Ultium electric-car architecture, the RSX is a homegrown effort. This will be the first production car on Honda's new EV platform—which debuted with the Honda 0 Series concepts —and Acura plans to build it on the same Marysville, Ohio, line as the gas-powered Integra. (Side note: Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that the RSX and Integra would exist alongside each other, and that one would be an SUV.) Acura calls this a "prototype," but typically, Honda's prototypes are very close to the eventual production models. So, this is pretty much what the new RSX will look like, though we're not sure if the yellow paint will be an option. Mechanically, the RSX will have dual-motor all-wheel drive, double wishbone front suspension, and Brembo-branded brakes. The prototype sits on 21-inch wheels, and Acura says the wide rear-end is inspired by the second-generation NSX. Photo by: Acura The RSX will also be the first Honda product to run the automaker's new infotainment system, ASIMO OS, named for its beloved humanoid robot. Acura considers this a "software-defined" vehicle, with an OS that learns user preferences, and a system that can handle over-the-air software updates. The RSX will also get a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging port, and it has vehicle-to-load capabilities, so you can essentially use it as a generator of sorts. Acura was pretty mum on details, though. We don't know what sort of performance the RSX will have, battery size, range, or anything, really. We also don't know what it will cost, but since it's smaller than the ZDX, we have to assume it'll be cheaper. Thankfully, we shouldn't have to wait long, as is typically the case with Honda concepts. 25 Source: Acura More from Monterey Car Week This Might Be Cadillac's Craziest Concept Car Ever The Ultimate Guide to Monterey Car Week 2025 Stay informed with our newsletter every weekday back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use .

Port Huron Float Down event has U.S., Canadian Coast Guards issuing cautions, warning of dangers
The Port Huron Float Down is an unsanctioned, but popular event during which thousands of people float along the St. Clair River on kayaks, rafts, tubes and swimming pool inflatables. The "float down," as it has been known for decades, historically happens on the third Sunday in August. The route is about 7½ miles along the St. Clair River from Port Huron to Marysville. This year's event is expected to take place Aug. 17. First responder agencies that are responsible for providing assistance on the river ask that people avoid participating. "This is an inherently dangerous activity. As first responders, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Canadian Coast Guard recommend that people do not take part in this event," read a joint press release issued by the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guard agencies. "Past Float Downs have resulted in tragedy." The complications of the event result from a fast-moving current, along with the potential for summer thunderstorms that can create dangerous boating conditions. One example was in 2014, when a 19-year-old described as an experienced swimmer drowned during the event. A search and rescue effort involving first responders from both countries was suspended after 36 hours. Another example was in 2016, when high winds and heavy rains forced about 1,500 participants to land along the Ontario shoreline near the communities of Sarnia (across the border from Port Huron) and Corunna (across the border from Marysville). Some of those floaters were injured or had hypothermia from the experience. Beyond the primary safety concerns, there are border crossing considerations in the event someone comes ashore or lands in an unintended location. The St. Clair River sets the international line between the United States and Canada. The floaters who found themselves pushed onto the Ontario shoreline in 2016 were "stranded and subject to Canadian and U.S. border security with no identification, money, or means of communication." Under the authority of Transport Canada, and supported by the U.S. Coast Guard, marine vessel traffic restrictions will be in effect from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday because of the risk of a motorized boat colliding with a floater. Such marine restrictions have also been invoked in previous years. "If you choose to participate, you are strongly encouraged to take several precautions," the Coast Guard agencies said. Those recommendations from the Coast Guard include:

Today in history: 1915, State putting pressure on Marysville to update its unsightly, unhealthy sewer situation
On Aug. 7, 1915, the Marysville Appeal laid out an argument for its readers regarding the need for the voters to approve a bond measure to improve the sewer system. It was a real scolding. 'Now is the time to act,' the newspaper argued in its headline. 'The importance of the coming bond election was attested to this week be a representative of the state board of health, who has been in Marysville a couple of days looking over sanitary conditions,' the newspaper began. 'After viewing the place where the drainage sewers empty e said the state board of health would order these conditions remedied, but in view of the approaching election he said no action would be taken by the state board until the voters had Venn given the opportunity of expressing their wishes in the matter. 'He gave as his opinion that this was not only an unsightly and filthy place but it was a serious detriment to the health of this community and the state board certainly would not permit such conditions to longer exist. 'It is seen now then that this work MUST be done. If the voters are short-sighted enough to turn down the bond issue it will be up to the property owners to stand the cost of the work and the only means whereby this money can be raised is by an increase in the tax rate. 'If this comes to pass it will work a hardship as well as an unnecessary burden upon those who own property in this city and for this reason if for no other it behooves ever person owning property in Marysville to get out and work in the interest of the bonds. 'Once in a while we hear the argument advanced that the state board of health has no authority in local matters further than to recommend that certain things be done; that they have no way of enforcing their orders. This is an erroneous impression because the state board has all the power necessary to enforce its orders where it is shown that conditions such as those existing here are a menace to the public health. 'Should the bonds be defeated it will not have the lightest effect in retarding this work other than to make it more expensive and it doesn't matter whether the city council favors having the work done (and they are all strongly in favor of it), they will have no other recourse in the matter except to carry out orders of the state board of health. 'If there is a man or woman in Marysville opposed to the bond election, they are so few and far between it is a most difficult task to locate them. They are ashamed to let their identity be known and no one can blame them for being ashamed of such a stand. If we were opposed to the bonds we certainly wouldn't have the temerity to let it be known for the simple reason there is no other side to the question.' Solve the daily Crossword
