VENTURA, Calif. (KEYT) A weekly rally turned into a protest in memory of Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti.

Protesters carried rest in peace signs on all four corners near the front of the Ventura County Government Center.

They urged drivers to show their support by honking their horns.

One regular protester said his ancestors were on the Mayflower.

He said he is concerned about the country he loves and friends in Minnesota.

"I had four calls yesterday from my friends in Minnesota, that killing happened two blocks from their house and they are afraid to leave the house and all of their neighbors are too. This has to stop we need end the ice age bring back America Freedom," said Greg White.

Some of the protesters said they are upset by the videos they see on television and online.

Many feel gaslighted by the blame the Trump Administration is placing on the man fatally shot on Saturday.

VENTURA, Calif. (KEYT) A local four-legged friend is on the way to the 150th Westminster Dog Show.

Nicole and Tom Scurrah's dog Fergus is a Kooikerhondje. (pronounced like Koy-Ker-Hone-Cha)

It is special Dutch spaniel. 

Furgus has won countless ribbons, including some at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara.

This will be their second time in a row showing Fergus at Westminster Dog Show.

But due to stricter airline rules the Scurrahs can't buy Fergus a seat, so they are driving to New York with some stops along the way.

Nicole Scurrah said Fergus has worked in more than a dozen handlers at local shows, but she will be the handler again at Westminster.

"I never would have imaged when I got him three four years ago that I would be showing him, that was one of the conditions of getting this breed," said Scurrah

She started showing Fergus at the Ventura County Fairgrounds shows and soon he was a champion.

"He is actually quite easy to handle, he has an amazing temperament, he is super sweet, " said Scurrah," and the fact that I am able to show him at Westminster is quite amazing, I never ever ever would have pictured my self showing a dog at Westminster."

"Carousel Ticket to Ride" is his dog show name in the program.

The show starts January 31st and they will be in the ring at 9. a.m. Eastern Time, 6 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, Feb. 3.For a link to the live broadcast visit, https://Westminsterkennelclub.org

¡Super Bowl LX confirmado! Los Seahawks de Seattle enfrentarán a los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra

Por Federico Leiva, CNN en Español

El Super Bowl LX ya conoce a sus protagonistas. En el último turno de este domingo, los Seahawks de Seattle vencieron nuevamente a los Rams de Los Ángeles por 31 a 27 y se coronaron campeones de la Conferencia Nacional, confirmando que fueron el mejor equipo de la temporada en esta parte del mundo. La siguiente parada será ni menos que el Super Bowl, donde se verán las caras con los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra, que más temprano vencieron en un duelo extremadamente defensivo a los Broncos de Denver a domicilio.

Los Seahawks batallaron durante cuatro cuartos contra el mejor ataque de toda la NFL y salieron airosos, porque también supieron lastimar cuando pudieron.

Seattle hizo la diferencia en el marcador durante el primer cuarto, cuando su defensa limitó a los Rams a solo 54 yardas y tres puntos. En cambio, el ataque liderado por el quarterback Sam Darnold puso 10 puntos, producto de un touchdown por carrera de Walker y un gol de campo de Myers.

El segundo cuarto tuvo la reacción del equipo angelino, que con un touchdown de Williams, tras pase de Stafford, y otro gol de campo de Mevis se puso arriba por 13 a 10. Los Seahawks parecían dormidos, pero justo en el cierre llegó una gran secuencia de pases de Darnold que terminó con siete puntos más para el equipo local. Esa diferencia de cuatro puntos resultó clave, porque se mantuvo durante toda la segunda mitad.

En Seattle acabaron brillando todos, porque los equipos especiales se lucieron con una recuperación tras despeje que acabó en otro touchdown, y la defensa se hizo presente en el capítulo final, forzando un intercambio de balón cuando parecía que los Rams daban vuelta el marcador.

Los Seahawks vuelven así a un Super Bowl después de más de una década. La última vez que lo jugaron fue en 2015, cuando eran los campeones defensores y se quedaron a una yarda de ganar el bicampeonato, precisamente, contra los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra, sus rivales en la final de este año.

Aquella noche de Arizona regaló uno de los finales más memorables en la historia de este deporte, cuando Seattle, que tenía a un gran corredor, eligió una jugada de pase a una yarda del touchdown con pocos segundos de juego, pero la defensa de los Patriots consiguió una intercepción milagrosa que le dio el título por 28-24. Ahora, será hora del partido revancha.

El Super Bowl LX se disputará el domingo 8 de febrero en el Levi’s Stadium, ubicado en el área de la bahía de San Francisco, en California. El evento contará con una apertura musical a cargo de la banda californiana Green Day, y tendrá un show de medio tiempo a cargo del puertorriqueño Bad Bunny.

Hot Rods & Classic Cars Line Stearns Wharf for Morning Car Show

Kraig Pakulski 0 14 Article rating: No rating

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – On Sunday morning, the Community Hot Rod Project hosted their Cars & Coffee event for the first time on Stearns Wharf. Folks enjoyed coffee, donuts, and the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline at the event that featured a variety of classic, race, and luxury cars.

The community and youth outreach program hosts numerous events and car shows in Goleta and Santa Barbara, but this is the first time they've drawn a crowd on the wharf. With the help of Logan Goldberg and Omar Khashen, Sunday's event hosted around 60 cars from both locals and out-of-towners.

"Its an amazing day to be out here on Stearns Wharf and getting the community together to connect through cars," said Hot Rod organizer, Kevin Haeberle. "It's just great to have everybody out here checking out what we're doing and how we can give back to the community."

Haeberle says the free, family-friendly event helps spread awareness for the need for vocational arts. The program's mission is to introduce the community and youth to the auto industry, teaching people how build, restore, and fabricate classic cars and race vehicles.

"We also do large car shows and bring everyone together and awareness for our vocational training center that we're trying to put together and that's what the main focus of this is. Raising awareness for the needs and the vocational arts," said Haeberle.

The event was a success thanks to the help of folks at the waterfront and Wharf Business Association. Goldberg says he hopes this is the start of many events on wharf.

The Community Hot Rod Project will be hosting plenty of more shows in the future, including Cars & Community on the last Saturday of each month and Coffee & Classics on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.
