01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
Local stars give back: Today, NFL alums Nik Needham and Jaylinn Hawkins host fifth youth football camp at Buena Park High, with sessions 9–10:30 a.m. for grades 3–8 and 11:30 a.m. for grades 9–12 -- get the camp details.
California operations grow: S3 Recycling Solutions expanded to a 34,000-square-foot Fullerton facility, tripling its California footprint. The transition will finish within 60 days and the site targets R2v3 certification by Q2 2027 -- see the Fullerton expansion.
OCVIBE adds new office anchor: Kiln signed on for a full floor at The Weave in Anaheim’s OCVIBE district, bringing flexible workspace to the project. The mass timber office opens in 2027 with indoor-outdoor workspaces -- explore OCVIBE's new office.
Thoughtful Father's Day gifts, ready by Sunday. Father's Day is tomorrow, which makes shipping anything now a gamble you'll probably lose. Skip it entirely. A whole range of Father's Day gifts is ready for same-day pickup in hours, so something personal is well within reach by tomorrow. -- get it today.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest -- this one's $150 off right now.* Highlights this week: |
02 — From our sponsor Gold just posted its strongest run in decades...And the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility. While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning. If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, GoldCo has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now. It’s free and worth reading before the next move.* |
03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Quick nature escape: Featherly Regional Park is mostly riparian wilderness you admire from the Santa Ana River Bikeway, which makes it perfect for a mellow ride or stroll when you need trees, not traffic. Want to make it an overnighter? Canyon R.V. Park inside offers RV spots, small cabins, and group camping.
Island vibes for dinner: When you need a break from the usual tacos and takeout, Roy's Restaurant brings Hawaiian-fusion comfort to Anaheim with misoyaki butterfish, big eye tuna poke, and sushi rolls that go down easy. Polished enough for date night, chill enough for a midweek treat.
Swing therapy, Anaheim-style: Skip the screens and send a few into the ether at The Islands Golf Center, where floating targets, two putting greens, and a legit golf shop make practice feel like play. Grab a friend, trade swings, then debate which island you actually meant to hit.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
The real retirement risk isn't a bad year, it's a long life: 40 years of saving, and the hard part is making it stretch across 30 more. SmartAsset's free quiz matches you with vetted fiduciary advisors who serve your area and are legally required to act in your best interests. The plan is built around you, not their commission. No obligation to hire anyone. *Start the quiz →
Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →
The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →
The conversation no man wants to have with his doctor: Turns out ~70% of men over 50 are avoiding the exact same one. The hesitation, the awkward throat-clear, the hoping it just sorts itself out… you're far from alone. The good news? You don't need the waiting room at all. What used to mean a face-to-face appointment and an uncomfortable pharmacy run now takes a few clicks from the couch — discreet online evaluation, personalized treatment shipped straight to your door. *No appointment, no awkward small talk →
Get cash back on your gas, groceries, and dining: This is real cash, not points you have to convert like credit card rewards. There are no coupons to clip and no deals to hunt down, you just claim an offer, pay with your linked card, and the cash back lands automatically. You can set it up in minutes and start earning on your very next purchase. *Start earning → |
