Juana Lona cradled a black hen in the chicken run at Live Earth Farm in Watsonville, as kindergarteners from a Pajaro Valley charter school milled around trying to approach the skittish, scattering fowl.“You have to hold the wings together, and put them close to your body,” said Lona, an education intern with Farm Discovery at Live Earth, as she demonstrated for the tots. “So like this, they feel safe like this. If we put them up in the air, they’re going to try to fly away. You see how she’s calm? You have to give her like a big hug.”She gently handed the hen to 5-year-old Jaelene Serrano, as a couple of Jaelene’s classmates gathered around to pet the hen in her arms. “So fluffy!” the kids said as they gently stroked the hen’s feathers and a rooster crowed nearby before Jaelene handed her to classmate Michelle Rodriguez Meza.“It’s so soft,” Michelle, 5, said.The hands-on experience is one of the programs ...Fatal shooting of Oakland police officer renews fears of crimes around Bay Area cannabis shops

The fatal shooting of an Oakland police officer responding to a burglary at a cannabis shop brought renewed calls Saturday for the city to confront a plague of violent robberies and other crimes that law enforcement officials and business owners say has spiraled out of control.In recent years, groups of armed burglars have targeted numerous cannabis dispensaries, grow operations and manufacturing plants in the city and across the Bay Area, leading to shootouts in Oakland, Martinez, San Leandro and Union City. Multiple people have been killed or wounded.Now, the slaying of undercover Officer Tuan Le — the first officer killed in the line of duty in Oakland in 14 years — is putting even more pressure on city officials to stem the break-ins.Yen Nguyen and Phuc Nguyen pay their respects for fallen Oakland police officer Tuan Le, leaving flowers on the Embarcadero in Oakland, Calif., Saturday, Dec. 29, 2023.

The Bay Area’s largest planned housing projects — slated to add tens of thousands of new homes — are clouded with uncertainty heading into next year. Some face delays amid an uneasy post-pandemic economy, while others have been mired in litigation or held up by bureaucracy.How developers and local officials confront those challenges could be crucial to alleviating the region’s deepening housing shortage. Here are five of the major Bay Area developments with the most at stake in 2024.An “aggressive” new timeline for the Concord Naval Weapons Station projectAfter cycling through three different developers over the past two decades, Concord hopes the latest multibillion-dollar plan to transform the former Concord Naval Weapons Station into a new master-planned community with more than 10,000 homes signals the project is finally on the road to completion.Until recently, the push to develop one of the Bay Area’s most ambitious projects in one of its most sou...A former Pittsburg mayor suffered in silence after his son was mortally wounded in a stabbing. His long journey ended with forgiveness, compassion

As mayor of Pittsburg, Dwaine “Pete” Longmire’s public persona was the easygoing, even-keeled city leader who smiled at ribbon cuttings and warmly greeted constituents who spoke up at public meetings, even if they came there to yell at him.But Longmire was keeping a secret that almost no one knew: Privately, he was consumed by grief. In 2012, just two years into Longmire’s tenure on the City Council, his son, Christopher Longmire, was stabbed in the neck, leaving him paralyzed, and expected to live just another six to eight years.Powerless to change his son’s fate, Pete Longmire watched him inch toward his eventual death, all the while overwhelmed by his sadness — and anger at the person who caused it all. But a journey that began with such tragedy came to a place that no one involved could have predicted: Longmire taught himself to forgive, culminating in a face-to-face meeting with the man who stabbed his son.A former police officer, Longmire has now ...Golden State Warriors have on-court chemistry issues that may be too late to fix

SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Kerr had to try something new again.Saturday, that meant drawing up his 11th different starting lineup of the season. Chris Paul was back in for rookie Brandin Podziemski to get Steph Curry going early and Trayce Jackson-Davis got his first NBA start at center for Kevon Looney to add some size and athleticism defensively.The change hardly paid off. MVP hopeful Luka Doncic made a mockery of the Warriors’ defense, putting up 39 points and exploiting the many rotation miscommunications in a 132-122 Warriors loss on Saturday night. Chris Pauls 24-point night was short of filling the void left of Curry’s cold first half and Klay Thompson’s ice-cold game in which he went 1-of-11 from the field.The Warriors have enviable depth to try a new look every minute, but no group of five in the mosaic of lineups that hit the floor has any flow. Of the dozens of lineups Kerr has thrown out there, only one lineup — Curry, Thompson, Green, Andrew Wig...Londynn Jones leads No. 2 UCLA to 71-64 win over No. 6 USC despite 27 points from JuJu Watkins

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cori Close went with one of the more challenging nonconference schedules so that UCLA would be prepared for what could be the most rigorous Pac-12 races in conference history.That certainly paid off Saturday in a battle of unbeaten crosstown rivals at a sold-out Pauley Pavilion.Londynn Jones scored 21 points, including five 3-pointers, as second-ranked UCLA defeated No. 6 Southern California 71-64, despite 27 points and 11 rebounds from JuJu Watkins in what was the conference opener for both teams in the final season of the Pac-12.Lauren Betts had 15 points and eight rebounds while Kiki Rice scored 12 for the Bruins (12-0, 1-0 Pac-12), who beat the Trojans for the ninth straight time.UCLA has won all four games this season when going against ranked opponents, but the first three happened on the road or neutral courts. “Today was like Sweet 16 match up. I think our nonconference schedule gave us a lot of experience,” Betts said. “I think we came in today know...New women’s professional hockey league, with hopes of staying power, ready to drop the puck

No longer a far-fetched notion, the Professional Women’s Hockey League is approaching reality and Sarah Nurse can’t help but pinch herself.On Monday, the 28-year-old Canadian national team forward will be on the ice in Toronto when her yet-to-be nicknamed team faces off against New York to open the new year and the PWHL’s inaugural 72-game season.“It means so much to me. It’s something that I had dreamed of and envisioned all those years ago, but I didn’t know it would actually come to fruition,” Nurse said. “It’s hard when you think of all the places that we’ve been over the last four years. And to be able to get here, with my Toronto team, has blown my expectations out of the water.”It wasn’t easy. It took time and patience for the moment to arrive after past start-up leagues lurched from one crisis to another before ultimately folding because they lacked money, vision and foundational support.Finally, the world’s best players have one place to showcase their talents outside...Shrimp and Bean Stew / Belkys
