A search-and-rescue team of about 50 officers and volunteers set out around 11 a.m. Thursday after the child was reported missing from the camping site surrounded by dense forest north of Fresno.

The boy, from Torrance near Los Angeles, was last seen wearing shorts and a T-shirt, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said.

A couple hiking in the desert near Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California was rescued after they were forced to huddle from the searing sun when they ran out of water in 100-degree-plus heat.

The pair was hiking on Ladder Canyon Trail in Mecca on June 9 when they called for medical aid, the Associated Press reported. The man said his girlfriend was dehydrated and weak. 

Temperatures that day in the area — one of the hottest spots in the US — reached 103 degrees, according to National Weather Service records.

Reading headlines about two “interactions” between great white sharks and Southern California surfers taking place in the same week, at breaks where until very recently shark encounters were absolutely unknown, gives me pause, to say the least. And regarding the now standard rationalization provided by various shark researchers and well-meaning ocean conservation advocates that the increased number of these interactions proves that California has always been teeming with white sharks and these “rare” and sometimes fatal instances of mistaken identity are simply the result of there being more surfers, not more white sharks, has me wanting to respond with complete conviction: “Bullsh-t!”

There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.
