Military jets to land and takeoff at Long Beach Airport this weekend
Military jets will be operating from Long Beach Airport this weekend. Officials warned that the aircraft will have noticeably louder engines than passenger jets. In a post to X, Long Beach Airport staff said four F/A-18 Super Hornets will arrive on Friday, Aug. 1. They will fly in and out of the airport on Saturday before leaving on Sunday. "F/A-18 aircraft are noticeably louder than other aircraft and are easily heard in neighborhoods near LGB," Long Beach Airport wrote in its post to X. Military aircraft are exempt from noise regulations that apply to typical passenger jets. However, the military agreed to follow standard noise ordinances, including minimal use of the jets' afterburners. "The military has demonstrated a desire to assist LGB in being a good neighbor & will follow standard noise abatement arrival & departure procedures, including modified arrival & departure flight profiles & minimum afterburner use," Long Beach Airport wrote. The U.S Navy created the first squadron of the Boeing-made F/A-18 Super Hornet in 2001. It has been a mainstay of the nation's carrier air wing since, with hundreds in the Navy's inventory. The F/A-18 Super Hornet is an updated version of the F/A-18 Hornet, which was introduced in the 1980s.

Sublime singer suffers personal tragedy, almost cancels performance
Sublime singer Jakob Nowell nearly didn't take to the stage during Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach on Saturday following a heartbreaking loss. The music artist, 30, emotionally revealed to the audience during the set that he had to put his beloved hairless cat Creature down before the band's performance. 'Creature the cat was my best f***ing friend,' he expressed as the other members prepared to play the next song. Jakob then admitted, 'I almost didn't want to play today but I thought to myself, "I don't know what any of you guys are going through out there."' After commenting on the size of the crowd outside, he added, 'I know a lot of people look forward to a set like this man. So, good to be up here playing my father's music with my best friends and family.' Jakob is notably the son of late singer Bradley Nowell - who had been the frontman of Sublime until his tragic passing in 1996 due to a heroin overdose at the age of 28. Jakob's hairless sphynx cat had often appeared on his main Instagram page, along with another hairless cat named Fluffy. Some images show Creature cuddling up on his lap, or wearing adorable outfits for special occasions. He has also mentioned his beloved pet during interviews, including his conversation with Rooster Magazine last year. At one point, Jakob was asked if Sublime has plans to have another mascot. Before his father's death, Bradley's dalmatian named Lou Dog had been the band's official mascot. 'Oh no because I have my band cat, Creature the hairless sphynx cat. He's pink. He's chubby. He's my mascot for Jakob's Castle,' the singer explained, referencing to his other band. Sublime had been formed in 1988 with Bradley as the frontman along with Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. However, the ska punk band disbanded after Bradley's death. In 2009, Eric and Bud came together wanting to reform the group - which they eventually did with Romeo Ramirez. They called the group Sublime With Romeo due to not having the rights to use the original name. But in 2023, Jakob became the lead singer of the band alongside Eric and Bud, officially reforming Sublime. The following year, Sublime With Romeo disbanded after Eric announced his exit. Jakob has followed in his late father's musical footsteps aside from currently being the lead singer of Sublime - which has previously dropped tracks such as What I Got and Wrong Way. He formed his own group called LAW, which he left in 2021 and is also the frontman of his other band Jakob's Castle. Jakob is the son of Bradley and mom Troy Dendekker. The pair had begun dating in the 90s and married just one week before the singer's death during a ceremony in Las Vegas. During an interview with L.A. Magazine, Jakob got candid about his childhood, getting sober and his relationship with his mother. 'I grew up with a crazy tumultuous home life,' he explained. 'When I got sober, I didn't speak with [my parents] for years. 'There was just a lot of white-trash chaos. Definitely no silver spoon status. It was insanity.' He has since reconciled with his mother Troy as well as the man who raised him since he was six named Keith. Jakob also reflected on deciding to reform Sublime and explained to the outlet that he wants 'to bring attention to the very powerful California subculture that [he] created, and then use it as a tool to help people.' While talking to last year, the singer further opened up about his father - who passed away less than a year after he was born. 'I think that he was a man who was widely loved and respected by his friends. He was a human being like anybody else. He was varied. He had good days and bad days.' Jakob continued, 'But I think we have to just take everybody's character based on their actions and what they produced and created in the world. 'And I know that his music helped a lot of people, and I just feel so grateful to get to be involved with and get to interface with it like that.' The performer also added, 'It's been really nice getting to put together the gestalt to who he was 'cause I never met him personally... 'But all his different friends and family and the fans, they each have a little piece of who he was, and he seemed to be a very multifaceted and interesting man.' Jakob also discussed being compared to his later father and said, 'When I'm up there on stage, I always tell fans I'm not my dad. They're like, "He doesn't play the guitar the same or sing the same or do this." 'It's almost like I'm not him, dude; I'm a different guy. My larynx just happens to be biologically similar, so sometimes it sounds similar.' 'But I will play them genuinely and I'll have fun doing it, and that's all I can promise,' the singer expressed. Ahead of the Sublime's set during the Vans Warped Tour on Saturday, the band dropped their new single titled Ensenada on July 17.

Pacific Mind Health Releases 5-Minute Mental Health Check-In Toolkit
This simple, evidence-informed practice helps users reduce stress, build self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward better mental health — all you need is 5 minutes LONG BEACH, Calif., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Got five minutes for your mental health? That's all it takes to start building awareness and making real changes in how you think, feel, and care for your well-being. Pacific Mind Health, a leading provider of outpatient psychiatry and therapy services in California, recently released the 5-Minute Check-In, a downloadable toolkit designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness. To access the toolkit, visit 5-Minute Check-In. "Taking the time to sit quietly can have a tremendous impact on one's mental wellness," says Pacific Mind Health's supervising clinical psychotherapist Veronica Calkins, LCSW. "Even just a few minutes of intentional awareness can interrupt autopilot thinking, reduce emotional overwhelm, and help you reconnect with what you truly need in the moment." Awareness is a key part of nearly every therapeutic approach, from cognitive behavioral therapy to mindfulness-based practices. A quick self-check-in mimics this effect, allowing you to slow down and reflect on what you're thinking, feeling, and doing. In today's fast-paced world, phone notifications, social media, and packed schedules can drown out your inner voice. Over time, unnoticed habits and emotions can build up and lead to burnout, anxiety, or other mental and physical health challenges. That's where a five-minute awareness check-in can help. How to Practice a Five-Minute Awareness Check-In Pause (30 seconds): Take a deep breath. Close your eyes if possible, and give yourself a moment to relax and be still. Scan your body (1 minute): Notice any physical sensations — tension, fatigue, tightness. Don't try to fix anything. Just observe how your body feels. Observe your thoughts (1 minute): Are your thoughts racing? Are you calm, anxious, or distracted? Notice them without judgment. Name your feelings (1 minute): Try to label your emotions. For example, "I feel nervous," or "I feel content." Naming emotions helps calm the brain and brings clarity. Reflect on your needs (1.5 minutes): Ask yourself what you need to feel more balanced. Maybe it's rest, movement, a glass of water, or a quick chat with a friend. Then, end your check-in by taking one small action to support your needs. Why It Works Regular five-minute check-ins help you stay connected to what's happening mentally, emotionally, and physically. Naming your feelings allows you to pause, think clearly, and reduce emotional overwhelm. When practiced consistently, awareness helps prevent stress from building up and makes it easier to recognize your needs and respond with self-care. "You don't need a perfect routine or hours of free time to care for your mental health," Calkins says. "Small, consistent moments of awareness like a five-minute check-in can build resilience over time and help you stay grounded, even on the busiest days."

Additional victims sought of Long Beach high school coach arrested for sexual assault
Investigators are seeking additional victims of a high school coach and substitute staff member at a Long Beach high school who was arrested for sexually assaulting a teenage girl last week. Gabriel Vigil, 34, was arrested a little before 8:30 a.m. on Thursday at his residence near Pacific Avenue and the Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Long Beach Police Department. They say that Vigil was under investigation since July 1, when a staff member at Cabrillo High School reported suspicion that a teenager was sexually assaulted off campus by a substitute staffer who was also working as a coach. Vigil was booked on one count of statutory rape, one count of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes and one count of contacting a minor to commit a felony, police said. His bail was set at $100,000. Due to the nature of the crime, detectives believe that there may be additional victims. They ask anyone who may know more to contact them at (562) 570-7321.
