SAN JOSE — San Jose’s mayor sketched out Saturday a grassroots approach to improve what he said are the four biggest challenges facing the Bay Area’s largest city: homelessness, crime, blight, and economic investment.Mayor Matt Mahan, in his State of the City speech event that took place at San Jose City College, said a renaissance for San Jose depends on more than the actions of political, business and community leaders. He asserted that ordinary residents must also bolster the city’s rebound.“I am convinced that the way to get San Jose, really our entire region, back on track is to keep local government focused,” Mahan said during a press conference prior to the event. “We will be offering the community ways to get directly involved.”Mahan kicked off the address — his first as mayor — by taking note of the bloody conflict in the Middle East and sharing that one grandparent of his children immigrated from Cuba and another grandparent ...Sheriff: $500K statue stolen from Saratoga home

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was held out Saturday against Clemson because of injuries, and was on the sideline in warmups instead of a uniform.Van Dyke revealed after last week’s Atlantic Coast Conference loss to North Carolina that he has been dealing with an injury to his right hand, which is his throwing hand. He has also been dealing with a leg injury, the specifics of which have not been revealed by the Hurricanes.Van Dyke was on the field before the game, presumably to gauge whether he could play or not. Emory Williams started in Van Dyke’s place for Miami, which came into the game on a two-game losing streak and fell out of the AP Top 25 after last week’s 41-31 defeat against the Tar Heels.The news changed the way sportsbooks viewed the game. Clemson had been a 3-point favorite for much of the week and was a 3 1/2-point favorite two hours before the game, but after the decision on Van Dyke became known the line on FanDuel Spor...Williams, McDowell help build big lead, then Campbell holds off fourth-quarter rally by Maine.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL has suspended Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson for four games without pay for charging Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine. Andersson will lose nearly $95,000 in pay, and that money will go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.In the video explaining the reasoning behind the suspension announced Saturday, the NHL said the force of the hit on Friday night and the fact the game was out of reach at the time “combined to elevate this hit to the level of supplemental discipline.” The hit occurred with 5 seconds left in the Flames’ 3-1 loss. Andersson was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for elbowing during the game. ___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/NHLSourceLatest news
