By City News Service | PUBLISHED: July 21, 2018 at 9:25 am | UPDATED: July 21, 2018 at 9:25 am SANTA ANA – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has announced a $10,000 reward in the shooting death of an 18-year- old man in an industrial area of Santa Ana in June. The reward was offered two weeks after police and the sister of the victim, Robert Silva of Santa Ana, appealed to the public for witnesses to come forward. Police believe there were dozens of witnesses at a June 23 gathering in the 1700 block of Newport Circle who could help investigators track down whoever shot Silva early that morning. “If they could picture themselves in our shoes,” the tearful sister, who did not wish to be identified, told reporters July 3. “Whoever has proof – to keep quiet, I don’t think it’s right.” Sign up for our breaking news email newsletter: When major local news happens, you will be the first to know. … [Read more...] about $10,000 reward offered for shooting that killed 18-year-old man in Santa Ana

Alta • Mount Baldy presents some of the trickiest avalanche-control problems in North America. Twenty-three chutes fall from the rounded treeless summit’s north face, each posing a threat to Alta Ski Area’s Ballroom and connected terrain at the top of Collins Bowl. For years, workers at the popular Utah resort have used explosive projectiles fired from a 105 mm howitzer and nonrifled guns known as Avalaunchers to blast down avalanches. But now ski area managers fear the use of military ordnance may soon end and are looking for an alternative. With the blessing of the U.S. Forest Service, which administers much of the land used by the ski area renowned for its old-school charms and harrowing terrain, Alta insists the best option is a small tram that would ferry up patrollers to deliver charges by hand. The proposal has sparked a backlash from environmentalists and even some of Alta’s own devoted skiers, who are campaigning to “Keep Baldy … [Read more...] about Why is Utah’s Alta Ski Area pushing for a tram up iconic Mount Baldy?
