Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:23:58 GMT

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - With warmer temperatures moving into the Central Valley, it is essential to keep your pets safe from the heat - and a hot car is somewhere they can get especially hot.According to a state law passed in 2016, a person can not leave or confine an animal in "any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal."California penal code 597.7 says endangering conditions include heat, cold, lack of ventilation, lack of food or water, or “other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal.” Can a person take matters into their own hands if they see a pet trapped inside a hot car? The answer is yes.A "Good Samaritan Law" allows you to use any reasonable means necessary to rescue the animal which could mean breaking a window without having to pay for damages or face criminal charges. According to California Assembly Bill 797, also known as the Right to R...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- The budget ended up as the sticking point as lawmakers adjourned Tuesday morning -- past their legal deadline -- without a complete spending plan delivered to Gov. Joe Lombardo.Assembly Bill 521 (AB521), a capital improvements bill, was up for a vote, but Republican Minority Leader Heidi Seevers Gansert announced that changes to the bill were not good enough. She said Republicans would vote the bill down.Gov. Joe Lombardo has 10 days to set the date for a special session to complete the work on the budget -- and whatever else he might include on the to-do list. More trouble for downtown SF as owner of Hilton, Parc 55 cease payments on hotel properties As observers waited to see if the A's baseball stadium or a package of tax breaks to lure movie studios to the Las Vegas valley would come up for a vote, it was money that spelled the end. Those two highly anticipated bills never came out of committee as sine die arrived -- the constitutionally mandated end of the...

MIAMI (AP) — Erik Spoelstra has preached about the value of adversity for months, not shying away from saying that it helped the Miami Heat get to these NBA Finals.And now Denver is dealing with a little taste of it as well.Game 3 of the NBA Finals is Wednesday night in Miami, the series between the eighth-seeded Heat and top-seeded Nuggets knotted at a game apiece. It got that way after Miami rallied to win Game 2 in Denver 111-108 on Sunday night, an outcome that prompted Nuggets coach Michael Malone to openly share frustrations — primarily over a lack of discipline on a lot of possessions.“We had a really good film session this morning,” Malone said Tuesday. “I gave an opportunity for everybody on our team to speak and talk about what they saw on the film. It was a very honest conversation. Guys owned what they needed to own. We have to learn from Game 2 to use it to our advantage.”In other words, Denver needs to do what Miami did coming out of Game 1.The Heat faced significant d...

PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic, in his words, felt “quite sluggish, quite slow” for nearly two full sets against Karen Khachanov in the the French Open quarterfinals Tuesday.

As the second went to a tiebreaker in Court Philippe Chatrier, he knew it was vital to step up his game, bring forth his best. It’s one thing to seek perfection; it’s another entirely to deliver. As if merely wanting so made it so, Djokovic did what he’s done before at crucial moments over the years en route to 22 Grand Slam titles. Managing to choose the right shot every time, managing to put each ball precisely where he intended, Djokovic threw a shutout of a tiebreaker to point himself toward what would become a 4-6, 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-4 victory over the 11th-seeded Khachanov.Djokovic, who could meet No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in th...
