    Washington (Quincy News) — Market Recap: U.S. stocks ended higher Friday as strong Amazon earnings outweighed a drop in Apple. Amazon jumped more than 15% after posting strong quarterly revenue growth, lifting the S&P 500 0.7%, the Nasdaq 1.0% and the Dow 0.5%. Apple fell 7.4% after warning supply constraints could slow growth. Both companies are major components of retirement accounts and index funds, making their earnings closely watched by investors.

Treasury yields remained elevated, with the 10-year ending near 4.71%, its highest level since January 2025, as investors weighed inflation risks and last week’s Federal Reserve decision to leave rates unchanged. Higher Treasury yields can keep borrowing costs elevated for mortgages and other loans.

Today’s Focus: Oil is in focus after crude prices fell more than 5% overnight following President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would hold off on additional strikes against Iran. OPEC+ also approved a production increase of about 188,000 barrels per day beginning in September.

The Japanese yen strengthened after the U.S. and Japan confirmed a rare coordinated currency intervention, while Treasury yields eased in early trading.

    PACIFICA, California (KPIX) — Thousands of people converged on the small town of Pacifica on Saturday morning to witness an event that has become an annual phenomenon: dog surfing.

Combine that with a dangerous surf warning for the coast, and there was even more drama than usual.

Now that the World Cup is over, we can get back to what is really the most popular sporting event on the planet: the World Dog Surfing Championships. At least, that’s how it felt by the size of the crowd at Pacifica’s Linda Mar Beach.

“I love World Dog Surfing,” said contestant Sophia Sadlowski from Huntington Beach. “They are the best event out of all the events that we do. This is the best event. The crowd is the best.”

Fourteen dogs showed up for this 10th annual competition. Winning is a bit subjective, with the canine contestants judged on how long they stay on a wave and how happy they seem to be about the whole thing.

Sadlowski said her small miniature pinscher, Rusty the Surfing MinPin, won’t let her leave the house alone if he thinks she’s about to hit the beach.

“Whenever I get ready to go surf, and I don’t take him, he gets very upset,” she said. “He runs up and down the stairs going, ‘ooh, ooh, ooh.’ And if I make it to the garage door, he’s there.”

But there was more drama than usual this year. With a hazardous surf warning in effect for the entire coastline, the waves were larger than usual and caused a few of the later heats to be cancelled.

“It was rough,” Sadkowski said. “A little too rough for that size dog. Yeah, I mean it’s rough for the other dogs, but when you’re 12 pounds, it’s just too much.”

“The surf was great this morning. Just for the last half-hour to hour, it started picking up and getting a little rough,” said event crew member Laura Cass. “So, we definitely want to keep the dogs safe…”

But a few intrepid canine surfers gave it a try anyway. One of them was crowd favorite Rippin’ Rosie, a fearless yellow lab who normally surfs Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz. She managed a couple of short runs in the crashing waves and got a hero’s welcome back on the shore.

“That was not Pleasure Point. That was pretty brutal, but hey, it was super fun, challenging, a great event. Look at all these people cheering us on. It’s amazing,” said Rosie’s surf partner, Steve Drottar. “She’s a fearless beast. She just goes. It’s scary for me. I’m the one that’s exhausted and she’s like, ‘ahh let’s go’ “

The competition was free to the public, so there were no official estimates of the crowd’s size. But the event has grown to the point that it was being recorded for an upcoming ESPN broadcast.

When the awards were handed out, Rusty and Rosie were both winners in their class. But friends Debbie Cohen and Tina der Torossian, who witnessed the spectacle, considered themselves among the winners, as well.

“And it’s an excuse to get up, and dogs are great!” said Cohen. “Just something about dogs in the water is a kick.”

Or as the surfers like Drottar might put it: “It’s just nothing but good vibes out here. It’s the way surfing’s supposed to be, just good vibes!”

    MENDOCINO COUNTY, California (KOVR) — A fast-moving wildfire in Mendocino County grew to 841 acres and was 5% contained Sunday after prompting evacuations Saturday.

The Feliz Fire was reported around 3:30 p.m. near Feliz Creek Road. Fueled by hot, dry and windy conditions, Cal Fire said the flames were spreading rapidly through vegetation.

Mendocino County officials issued evacuation orders and warnings for multiple zones surrounding the fire, including from Saracina Vineyards to Feliz Creek Road.

Temporary evacuation points were set up at the Mendocino County Office of Education, 2240 Old River Road in Ukiah, and United Disaster Relief, 650 Babcock Lane in Ukiah. A large animal shelter was opened at the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds, while small animals could be taken to the Mendocino County Animal Shelter.

The fire also forced the closure of a portion of U.S. Highway 101 between Highway 175 and the Hopland area for several hours Saturday. By late Saturday evening, authorities reopened the highway to one lane in each direction with intermittent traffic control, though motorists were urged to avoid the area while firefighting operations continued.

Cal Fire said the blaze was threatening structures and power lines.

Firefighters continued working into the late night with the help of three helicopters, multiple air tankers, hand crews, bulldozers and additional ground resources ordered to the incident, Cal Fire said.

The cause of the Feliz Fire remains under investigation.

    DEARBORN, Michigan (WWJ) — A viral TikTok that has more than 400,000 views appears to show bugs all over the produce aisle at a Kroger in Dearborn, Michigan.

It’s a video that’ll make you wary of ever buying fruit again, and many who have seen it are understandably disgusted.

Chris from Detroit told CBS News Detroit, “It’s unfortunate they need to do something about that. You can’t be a multi-million dollar company and the food is like that. It’s not cool, man.”

CBS News Detroit has made multiple attempts to contact the woman who posted that video on Thursday. She has not yet responded, but our CBS News Confirmed team has determined that the footage appears authentic.

Jalen McCar from Detroit said, “Yeah, I’m happy I didn’t buy no fruit in there. I feel like they need to clean up everything.”

The supermarket chain responded to CBS News Detroit, saying, “We take these matters seriously. Food safety is a top priority for us. We are aware of the video, and have already partnered with professional pest control services while implementing enhanced preventative measures.”

On Friday, CBS News Detroit went inside the Kroger and didn’t see any creepy crawlers near the produce section, but heard from multiple people who said that even prior to the video, they had already decided to never buy produce at the supermarket ever again because of past experiences.

“A lot of bugs, flies, man. Just a lot of things that shouldn’t be in that produce aisle. Don’t anybody want bugs and flies,” said Chris.

One woman told us off camera that the last time she was buying fruits and veggies at the Kroger, gnats were flying all over the produce.

“There was a lot of gnats. Like, as soon as you go to pick something up, the gnats just swarmed. They swarmed all around you,” she said.

Even as Kroger told CBS News Detroit that they were aware of the viral video, the store remained open and busy Friday afternoon. But as the TikTok continues to rack up views and cyclosporiasis cases continue to soar in Michigan, there’s definitely one big feeling of hesitancy around the fruits and veggies at this store.

“Even vegans don’t wanna eat vegetables and stuff no more. It’s crazy,” said McCar.

Chris added, “People should just start growing their own fruits and vegetables. I would.”

Even though the video was posted on Thursday, CBS News Detroit has not yet confirmed when it was recorded.

    BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Baltimore County school counselor, credited for tackling a school shooter at Perry Hall back in 2012, has been arrested on a misdemeanor count of attempting to patronize a prostitute.

Jesse Wasmer, a man once hailed as a hero, was allegedly caught trying to pay for sexual acts at Crystal Therapy, a spa located in Wilmington, Delaware.

“When you are a teacher with the school system, and this happens, it hurts more,” Kevin Bethea, a Baltimore County resident, said.

New Castle County Police in Delaware say Wasmer and another man were arrested during the incident.

“It’s unfortunate when these things happen,” Bethea added.

Bethea’s daughter went to Perry Hall High School and still has ties there.

Back in 2012, Wasmer tackled a school shooter and held him down until police arrived and placed the man under arrest. Many say his actions saved lives.

Bethea says he remembers the day and was amazed at Wasmer’s actions, but now feels there’s a blemish on his record.

“It was a good thing what he did, but now finding this out, it just lessens it and turns it into a different story,” Bethea explained.

Police say they were at Crystal Spa on July 15 for a drug and human trafficking investigation.

According to officers, three women were found as victims who were forced to work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, without being paid properly.

Officers seized more than $15,000 and bulk quantities of condoms from the spa.

Both the owner and operator were arrested by police and charged with multiple felony counts.

“A lot of times you might have individuals that start out doing the right things and acts of heroism, but then they get caught up in situations like this,” Bethea said.

Wasmer had been working at Bear Creek Elementary, Grange Elementary, Sandy Plains Elementary, and Patapsco High School, according to a letter, obtained by WJZ, that the principal of Bear Creek sent to families.

Wasmer is now on administrative leave and is barred from the school, per the notice. Support staff is available to students and their families if they have questions or want to talk about the situation.

Meanwhile, on social media, many people remain in Wasmer’s corner, saying it doesn’t matter what he did; they still consider him a hero.

    LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — Southern California remains under several heat-related advisories, including an Extreme Heat Warning from the National Weather Service, as August kicked off with a widespread heat wave on Saturday.

The NWS’s warning extends throughout the region until 8 p.m. Sunday. It projects temperatures between 95 and 110 degrees for virtually all of Southern California, except for communities within 10-to-15 miles of the coast.

Due to extreme temperatures, CBS LA has issued a Next Weather Alert through Tuesday as inland heat continues.

The NWS said some record highs could be threatened on Saturday.

“Surprisingly no records were set yesterday,” a bulletin reads. “However, we get another chance for that today.”

Forecasted highs include:

91 degrees in downtown Los Angeles 98 in Burbank 109 in Woodland Hills 96 in Simi Valley 104 in Santa Clarita 83 in Culver City 95 in Anaheim 107 in San Bernardino 102 in Riverside 99 in Temecula 116 in Palm Springs

Forecasters advise residents to limit outdoor activity during the day over the weekend due to the extreme heat.

Thousands are expected to flock to the beach to escape the heat, but the NWS warns that high surf and increased chances of rip currents remain on Saturday, so beachgoers should exercise caution when approaching the water.

“Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected at many of the beaches this weekend, as a result of swells from a tropical cyclone located west of Mexico,” the NWS said.

    DELAWARE COUNTY, Delaware (KYW) — Police are searching for the gunman who opened fire inside a Walmart in Delaware County on Friday night, wounding an employee and sending shoppers scrambling for safety.

Authorities say officers responded to the Walmart at 50 MacDade Boulevard just after 7 p.m. for multiple reports of gunshots.

According to Darby Township Police, the shooting happened after an argument between two customers inside the store in Glenolden. During the dispute, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired between five and 10 shots before fleeing the store, according to police.

A female Walmart employee was struck in the calf. Police said her injuries are not considered life-threatening, and no customers were injured.

“The shots were extremely loud,” shopper Lewis Moore of Lansdowne said. “It sounded like they were the next aisle over from where I was just getting ready to head out.”

Moore said panic spread quickly through the store after the gunfire.

“I just saw the crowd running, exiting the back of the store,” he said. “So I just followed the group and ran to safety.”

Another shopper, Myomi Faison of Lansdowne, said she was picking up photos with her boyfriend’s family when the shooting began.

“We were all the way at the back and we were in mid-conversation, all jolly, and then boom, boom,” Faison said. “We ducked.”

Faison said her boyfriend’s mother ran toward the gunfire to find her own mother. The two remained inside the store until officers determined it was safe to evacuate.

“She cared more about her mom than her own life,” Faison said. “She risked her life for her mom.”

The shooter left the store before officers arrived. Police detained several people for questioning but said they are not necessarily considered suspects.

Chopper 3 was over the scene as police surrounded the building. A glass door near the entrance of the store could be seen shattered.

Investigators are searching for a man who was last seen wearing an orange hoodie and gray sweatpants.

The Walmart remained closed Friday night as investigators processed the scene.

Police believe the shooting was an isolated incident stemming from a dispute between the two customers.

Investigators said they expect to release additional information, including a photo of the suspect, as the investigation continues.

No arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation.

“The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority. We’re grateful to first responders for their swift response and are working closely with law enforcement as they continue their investigation,” a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement.

    BRONX, New York (WCBS) — There are new questions about who’s looking out for New York City’s children after a Bronx mother and grandmother were charged in the death of a teenager with autism.

Adonis Jarvis, 16, died in March, but his death was just ruled a homicide. The medical examiner’s office determined he suffered from starvation, malnutrition and dehydration.

His mother, 36-year-old Geneva Jarvis, and his grandmother, 62-year-old Denise Jarvis, were arrested and charged with murder. Both pleaded not guilty, with attorneys for Geneva Jarvis noting she has no prior criminal history.

According to police, Adonis was nonverbal and autistic, as is his surviving twin brother.

The NYPD says back in March, Geneva Jarvis told police and doctors that she had been feeding Adonis’ brother when she realized Adonis was not breathing. Officers went to their home on East 147th Street near Brook Avenue and found the other twin in bed. He was malnourished, dehydrated and had bed sores.

In court Thursday, prosecutors said Adonis was 59 pounds at the time of his death. His surviving brother was 60 pounds, but has since put on 30 pounds while in rehab.

Prosecutors allege since at least January, the boys remained in separate rooms, covered in flies and their own feces. They told a judge the twins used to be able to walk, but became unable to and spent months laying in the same position in bed. They allege Geneva and Denise Jarvis “left these children to rot and starve.”

The door to their third-floor apartment was open when CBS News New York’s crew got there. They noted a strong odor coming from inside.

One neighbor told CBS News New York she hadn’t seen the twins in some time, but didn’t know anything was seriously wrong. The building’s superintendent, who did not want to be identified, said the same.

“It was bad. We should have seen it, but they would close doors. They’d never come out, nothing,” he said. “There was quiet. No one noticed nothing.”

A relative says he’s angry, that he had no idea what was going on, and he hadn’t seen the twins since December.

Neighbors said the twins used to go to school.

CBS News New York reached out to the Department of Education to ask whether the twins were enrolled or not, among other questions. The DOE said it can’t comment on specifics, but says New York City Public Schools made extensive efforts to engage and support the family.

“The loss of this young person is heartbreaking, and we grieve this tremendous loss along with their community. Our thoughts remain with those grieving,” a DOE spokesperson said in a statement.

CBS News New York is also working to confirm whether the family had any prior contact with the Administration for Children’s Services. ACS said confidentiality laws prevent it from sharing that information, but the city’s independent watchdog, the Department of Investigation, tells CBS News New York the law is leaving serious gaps in oversight.

In 2025, DOI’s then-commissioner, Jocelyn E. Strauber, said state law was standing in the way of them being able to look for missed warning signs.

“What we need to be able to do … is take a hard, objective look at these situations when there is a child fatality,” she said. “To look at the role that ACS played and to see whether it could have done something more or something better.”

In May 2026, DOI released a report outlining two major problems. First, the agency said it often has to fight to get access to any ACS record. Second, in some cases, state law doesn’t allow DOI to see the record at all, including cases ACS determined to be unfounded.

The watchdog says the consequences are severe. Last year alone, ACS had prior involvement with the families of 18 children who later died, but DOI says the law stopped it from reviewing the full history in 17 of those cases.

A bill now awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature would expand DOI’s access.

In a statement, a spokesperson said DOI has long supported passage of the legislation.
