NEWPORT BEACH (CBSLA) — The sandbags are in place. Residents of Newport Beach are concerned about King Tides. Those high tides caused flooding earlir this week. Summer sun and surf and tolerable temperatures had people flocking to the beach Saturday. CBS2’s Greg Mills talked to people who came for the perfect beach setting. “It’s beautiful out,” said Marquita Alexander from Phoenix. “We love the 80 degree weather,” said Rafael Reveles of Corona. The great weather conditions could all change starting tonight if the tide turns dangerous. It’s expected to hit around 10:50 p.m. Orange County is under a coastal flood advisory. “It happens every year,” says Charlie Maas. He works here and has to keep track of the tides. He said Wednesday’s tides were the highest of the year. “Our highest tide was 7-foot 1-inch, and it’s going to be 6-foot 9-inches tonight,” said Maas. The Balboa Fun Zone turned into a flood zone Wednesday. “Out here, it was curb high,” says Maas. “Got the harbor on one side, the beach on the other. When the tide comes up, a makes a disaster really,” says Newport Beach resident Brendan Cashman. There are pumps in place to ship the water back where it belongs. There were also sand bags in place, but the water came in with such force it went up and over the barriers. Beach side, people continued to look for ways to escape the heat. Reveles couldn’t wait to get out of Corona last week. “It was about 116 degrees,” he said. And is he ready for another round of the oven-like heat this week. “No,” he says, “not really. Not really.”

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In a one-of-a-kind opportunity, the small beach beneath the Brooklyn Bridge was open to the public for a few hours Saturday. As CBS2’s Clark Fouraker reported, it needs some sprucing up, but it’s already attracting a big crowd. Kayaks made with cardboard and tape raced in the waters to raise awareness about the small stretch of Manhattan’s coastline under the bridge that’s usually closed. “All my friends I know they go to Jones Beach or Brooklyn or somewhere else just to have a beach. But if we had one here, that would be really nice,” said Emily Xu. “This is just another stretch of water that can be built up and enjoyed by everybody,” Nicole Alcamirano said. Most people told Fouraker they’d like to see the beach open year round. But past development attempts have had hiccups. The city says there are concerns about safety and water cleanliness. Those concerns led the city’s Economic Development Corporation to scram the latest plan in 2016. Drawings show a larger sand beach and kayak launch for people to enjoy the water without having to leave Manhattan. “There’s hundreds of places like this all around all five boroughs and in New Jersey that could be open, and we want to show it can be done safely, it can be done for fun,” said Roland Lewis, president and CEO of the Waterfront Alliance. “Depending on the tide and if permissible, sure how great would it be? I think even if at least they had the sand for the beach, I’ll take it,” Drew Kerr said. The developer of newly completed Pier 17 said he’d like to see development continue north, toward the beach park. “We’re working very closely with the elected officials,” said Saul Scherl, of Howard Hughes Corporation. While not all of the cardboard kayaks made it out into the water and back to the shore in one piece, organizers said the enthusiasm for the competition shows there’s a strong interest in the beach being open more often.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Rikers Island correction officer was slashed across the face on Friday night, prompting calls for change. Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, COBA, tweeted Saturday morning, saying, “CO AT RIKERS VICIOUSLY SLASHED ACROSS HIS FACE BY BLOODS GANG MEMBER LAST NIGHT.” BREAKING NEWS: CO AT RIKERS VICIOUSLY SLASHED ACROSS HIS FACE BY BLOODS GANG MEMBER LAST NIGHT.

The inmates are running the asuylum it seems.” After yet ANOTHER slashing of an Officer @ Rikers, I want 2 know why NYCDOC turned a blind eye 2 @NYCCOBA1 's rational concern 4 the safety of its members & the failure of the department to follow its own policy. The inmates are running the asuylum it seems https://t.co/tZWWj9tKka pic.twitter.com/TBwxBEQxb1 — Joe Borelli (@JoeBorelliNYC) July 14, 2018 CBS2 obtained a copy of a letter that COBA sent to the New York City Department of Corrections on June 20, raising concerns that “lock-in procedures” were not being followed at the Anna M. Kross Center on Rikers Island. “In AMKC every night during the institutional lock-in, all dorms and modular housing areas are not in compliance with lock-in procedures. Each night there are approximately 1,200 inmates not in compliance with the institutional lock-in procedures,” the letter read in part. “The inmates are refusing to obey the lock-in procedures,” it continued. “The house never locks in for the night and the officer will not turn the lights off for fear of being assaulted. Female officers are being sexually assaulted and groped by these inmates. We can’t continue this dangerous cycle where offices have to walk into a danger zone every night,” the letter said. COBA said it previously sent letters raising these concerns on June 8 and 15 as well. CBS2 reached out to the DOC for a comment but has not yet heard back.
