SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria’s 2026 budget proposal is set to be discussed by a City Council committee this week, and included in the plan is the potential closure of the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division substation a group of Carmel Valley residents hit the streets and marched for what they believe sets the foundation in their community SDPD officers at the Northwestern Division would be reassigned to the Rancho Peñasquitos station Carmel Valley residents like Joann Welch said that station is too far away for her family if an emergency does happen so I was wanting to protect them as much as possible the first thing is to protect them against anything that might happen in these schools and the police are the nearest thing to protecting them." Thirteen-year-old Jose Sarabia said a police presence is essential for students like himself they can help us stay away from danger," said Jose the City of San Diego acknowledges the closure of the substation could "impact patrol response times and could weaken collaboration between police and residents in surrounding communities." Organizers hope Sunday’s march will shed light on how the issue touches every part of the area "Really grassroots," said Michelle Strauss the chair of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board "Neighbor to neighbor reaching out to sports teams to schools to businesses It's really just kind of been a domino effect." Marcher Andrew Harris has this word for Mayor Gloria: "Try to figure out how to better organize the budget cuts and look for funding elsewhere we really look for our elected officials to help with that." the Northwestern Division serves Carmel Valley ABC 10News reached out to the City of San Diego Sunday night but they did not immediately respond to a request for comment 2025 2:40 pm IDTGet email notification for articles from Adi Hashmonai FollowMay 2 2025 2:40 pm IDTEight months have passed since the murder of six hostages – ⁠Hersh Goldberg-Polin Eden Yerushalmi and Ori Danino – ⁠in a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah an event that shook Israel and drove hundreds of thousands to the streets demanding a deal to save the remaining hostages 36 Hours Carmel, Calif.

They spent the summer working with local companies, offering car detailing services to employees and donating 100% of the proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association with each other and working hard,” Wright said Then we started spreading awareness about our project as well.” Corporate sponsors stepped in along the way supporting both financially and with outreach efforts The students also volunteered at a local memory care center to deepen their connection to the cause The team raised an impressive $20,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association “We were fortunate enough to raise about $20,000 We’re extremely grateful to everyone who donated to our cause,” Spence said a national organization focused on business and leadership development for students The team placed second at DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Orlando which drew more than 25,000 students from around the world “We spent a lot of time on our presentation and our paper We were lucky it went so well,” Wright said The students participated in “The Longest Day,” a signature fundraising initiative of the Alzheimer’s Association that leads up to the summer solstice on June 20 The effort is meant to symbolize the long days caregivers and patients endure while fighting the disease “It’s honestly really easy to get involved,” O’Connell said Just do something you care about and use that to make a difference.” What started as a coping mechanism for O’Connell has become something greater for all three students “It was kind of a way of coping and getting through it,” he said “But after spending time with other people battling Alzheimer’s the students are preparing to head off to college—O’Connell to Indiana University and Wright and Spence to Purdue—but they say their commitment to the cause isn’t ending “Hopefully we can stay connected and still find ways to give back despite our distance,” said Wright “I know me and Will will continue to fight at Purdue.” Their message to others is simple: don’t wait for the perfect plan But it snowballed into something bigger,” Spence said even high school students can make a global impact Carmel Cinema has announced its closing date after 15 years of business Movie theaters as we know have been struggling for years since the COVID 19 Pandemic hit us 5 years ago which has become the dominant form of movie watching these days although global cinema attendance has been rebounding the numbers are certainly not what they once were pre pandemic Carmel Cinema 8 is a community-focused movie theater located at 156 Route 52 in Carmel Hamlet it offers a more intimate and affordable alternative to larger multiplexes featuring eight screens with stadium seating and a total capacity of 1,116 seats It sits in the ShopRite Plaza in the spot that was once occupied by a Jamesway department store back in the 80s and 90's.  Carmel Cinema provides a selection of standard concessions While some visitors have noted that the seating is more compact compared to larger theaters many appreciate the cozy atmosphere and the fact that there isn't a bad seat in the house Carmel Cinema took to social media on Wednesday to thank their loyal customers for the past 15 years of business and to announce that the theater will be closing at the end of May They went on to say that gift cards can be used or redeemed for cash up until the closing date and that they can also be used or redeemed for cash at any time at their other theater The posting was met with a lot of reaction from many who loved going to the theater over the past 15 years Several other comments put blame on the landlord claiming that the landlord won't renew the lease Although Carmel Cinema didn't state a reason the the closing and didn't make mention of anything to do with the landlord a change.org petition to Save Carmel Cinema has been set up by a Kathy Reilly.

The intersection is managed by the City of Carmel and the project is designed to improve safety, traffic flow, and pedestrian access. The roundabout project includes raised pedestrian crosswalks to enhance visibility and safety for pedestrians and marks the start of a broader transformation along North College Avenue that brings landscape enhancements, stormwater upgrades and the creation of a boulevard with expanded pedestrian connectivity. “This project represents more than just another roundabout – it’s a vital improvement to safety and connectivity at one of our community’s major gateways,” City Engineer Bradley Pease said. The roundabout is expected to be completed in July, aligning with the next phase of improvements along North College Avenue, north of Interstate 465. To accommodate construction, clearly marked detour routes will be in place. Primary detour options include 91st Street, Spring Mill Road, and 106th Street, with additional alternative routes available via Westfield Boulevard and U.S. 31. Residents and visitors are encouraged to continue supporting the businesses at this intersection throughout the duration of the project. To ensure access to the businesses impacted by the construction, clear signage will be placed to guide residents, business staff and customers safely to their destination. Visitors to the locations listed below will have access using Westfield Boulevard, Real Street, and East 96th Street. 2025 at 3:52 pm CDTExpandCarmel quarterback Trae Taylor runs with the ball during practice a few years ago at the school in Mundelein (Gregory Shaver — gshaver@shawmedia.com/Gregory Shaver - gshaver@shawmedia.com) Carmel sophomore quarterback Trae Taylor announced his commitment to Nebraska during an announcement on a 247Sports YouTube stream Thursday.

or six years where a number of significant hedge funds have moved in and have purchased up nearly half of the homes in neighborhoods to turn into rental properties,” Burdick said Fishers’ ordinance is about preventing a barrier to first-time home buyers who are getting outbid for homes by hedge funds “There's a lot of constitutionality issues around the issue,” Burdick said “Our firm has drafted the ordinance with constitutional lawyers to get around this very issue and to balance property rights.”   Amy Krieg, the government affairs director with Accelerate Indiana Municipalities, also spoke against the legislative add on “We aren't supportive of this language at this time and it is important communities retain the tools to create cohesive and livable neighborhoods,” said Krieg whose organization advocates for hundreds of Indiana municipalities representatives of several interest groups spoke in favor of the legislative provisions that would stop Fishers’ and Carmel’s ordinance

from the Indiana Apartment Association and the Indiana Builders Association both spoke in support of adding language to House Bill 1389 that would squash Fishers’ and Carmel’s ordinances "We from our

A Franklin County judge has determined that a former Mount Carmel doctor can continue to pursue a civil lawsuit against the hospital, accusing them of villainizing his treatment of terminally ill patients. William Husel filed the defamation lawsuit in 2019 against Mount Carmel Health Systems then-CEO Edward Lamb and Mount Carmel's parent company Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Stephen McIntosh issued a ruling Tuesday denying a request by the hospital systems and Lamb to dismiss the case Husel's case is scheduled to go to trial in June A special jury pool will be brought in to hear the case because of the potential length of the trial and the previous publicity surrounding Husel Husel had argued that the patients he gave the dosages to were actively dying and that the fentanyl doses were comfort care More than two dozen wrongful death lawsuits were filed against Husel and the hospital system as well, all of which were later settled. Husel's treatment of patients came under scrutiny in late 2018 The dosages of fentanyl and other drugs being given to patients were investigated as being over the recommended amounts which prosecutors unsuccessfully argued had led to hastened deaths for those patients The hospital system fired Husel in December 2018 after an internal investigation Husel filed a defamation suit against his former employers accusing them of organizing a smear campaign to make him the villain and scapegoat in the scandal Husel says in the lawsuit that the hospital system hired a public relations firm and developed a strategy for managing the potential damage that media coverage of the wrongful death lawsuits and investigation into Husel's dosing practices could bring That strategy focused on making Husel appear to be acting outside of standard practice and paint him as a rogue physician The hospital systems have said in court filings that the statements they made were updates on the status of their investigation or medical opinions being offered in efforts to provide transparency to the community Husel also filed several federal lawsuits against Trinity Reporter Bethany Bruner can be reached at bbruner@gannett.com or on Bluesky at @bethanybruner.dispatch.com The announcement to the parish community on Palm Sunday reflects the Archdiocese of New York’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality education while expanding community support services will depart the on-campus convent during the summer of 2025 The convent will be repurposed into a Pastoral Center providing expanded services to families and the broader Elmsford community “This shift will allow us to continue our proud tradition of academic excellence while expanding our outreach and services to support the needs of our families and neighbors,” said Sr Episcopal Vicar for Westchester and Rockland The new Pastoral Center will complement the school’s mission by exploring relationships with organizations like ArchCare and Catholic Charities to offer additional support services for the community These efforts are inspired by the successful model at the St Philip Neri Family and Education Center in the Bronx The school will continue to offer a robust K–8 academic program while incorporating services to foster both educational and spiritual growth Updates will also be made to the curriculum and campus facilities to align with the school’s expanded mission who has served as Principal for many years will take on a new role as Coordinator of Alumni and Community Relations The Archdiocese expressed deep gratitude to Sr Stephen and the Religious of the Divine Compassion for their longstanding service and contributions to the school Our Lady of Mount Carmel School has been a vital part of the Elmsford community serving generations of immigrant families and parishioners The upcoming changes honor that legacy while embracing new opportunities for growth and service A search for a new Executive Director and Principal will begin in the coming months to guide the school and pastoral center into the future.
