SAN FRANCISCO — For as sour a note Jordan Poole left Golden State, his return to Chase Center was every bit the warm reunion prior to the Warriors’ blowout 129-118 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.The Warriors have won four in a row and are back to .500 with a 14-14 record.No only was there some mystery around how Warriors fans would react to Poole’s return, but questions about how Poole would act in his first time back around the organization that shipped him off in his prime for 38-year-old Chris Paul. A lot of the tension was lifted with Draymond Green, who punched him last year, serving an indefinite suspension and not in the building.Everything Poole has not answered about the controversial end to his Warriors career showed in the way he interacted with all his other former teammates and coaches. He came to the court hours early, throwing a few shots up as he patrolled the sidelines to greet his former teammates he won a championship with. He ga...

Person stabbed outside of Oakand City Hall "We are committed to taking action to improve the 911 dispatch, including by funding staff and equipment and reducing other calls so they can focus on urgent needs," Kaplan said in a news release.Kaplan said she worked with OPD and the Oakland Department of Transportation to make the portal available. The portal can be found at www.oaklandautoplustowing.com/copy-of-vehicle-towed.Copyright © 2023 Bay City News, Inc.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Christmas trees started appearing in Central Europe and the Baltic States, including Estonia, as early as the Middle Ages and have now become traditional across much of the world.Dec. 22 is the shortest day of the year and in Estonia, as in many parts of the world, trees covered with lights brighten up homes and town squares during the Winter Solstice and Christmas festivities afterward.In order to grow a 2.5-meter (8-foot) Christmas tree, Arvo Palumäe, co-owner of a Christmas tree farm he started 14 years ago, waits 8 years before carefully selecting it, shaping it during the summer months and cutting it for delivery. But while some Estonians buy trees directly from him, they are also able to cut their own.The State Forest Management Centre provides Estonians with a map of forests showing locations of trees they can cut down themselves. They advise people to avoid trees near power lines and encourage Estonians to plant spruces in the forests to make sure the...
