It’s immensely gratifying to be part of such a project.”Children’s Healthcare Organization activity director Kathleen Tuckness also expressed gratitude for the performance and the possibility of more to c...

Otters attack swimmers in Sierra Nevada river and lake

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:45 GMT

River otters are so cute that it’s easy to overlook their bad behavior.But two attacks — rare and separate incidents — have injured women who were out enjoying a swim, turning a summer idyll into a panicked rush to Tahoe Forest Hospital’s emergency room.River otters are distant cousins to sea otters such as Otter 841, a 5-year-old female who this summer gained international notoriety for accosting surfers and kayakers in Santa Cruz and continues to evade capture. Their population once plummeted due to fur-hunting. Now they are protected and their numbers are rebounding.While different in many ways, the two species share a mean streak, especially if protecting young.“I felt something really sharp on my butt, and started screaming,” said Crystal Finn, 41, who on the balmy afternoon of July 11 joined cousins for a swim in the Middle Fork of the Feather River near the family’s property on the edge of Plumas National Forest. “Then I felt a bite on my leg.”“Then I saw these three little h...

I avoid these areas during pickup and drop-off times because the driving is so unsafe.Parents, be alert, watch your surroundings and watch, especially, for kids and traffic.Far too often, I see a child hop in the back seat of a car, and as the door shuts, the parent accelerates into an illegal u-turn with no blinker, and no regard for other kids or traffic. Kids sometimes do oblivious things, so it is up to all of us to be aware. And please, no pickups from the middle lane! Kids darting into traffic to get to “their” car is very hazardous.Peter David, San JoseA: The recent column that included safe driving practices around schools inspired others to share observations and advice.Q: The column reminding drivers of school opening safety should be heeded most by parents who drive their children to and from school (I’m a former driver of a 72-passenger school bus and...
