Drunk driver who killed 2, hurt children pleads guilty SANTA ANA (AP) – A drunken driver who killed a mother and father and seriously injured their three young children as they looked at Christmas lights in Orange County pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder.

Grace Elizabeth Coleman, 23, of Newport Beach also entered pleas to two counts involving driving under the influence and a charge of hit-and-run causing injury.

She could get 21 years to life in prison when she is sentenced in July, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.

On Dec. 8, 2020, Coleman’s Range Rover ran a red light at 75 mph and struck the car of a family that was driving around to look at Newport Beach Christmas lights, prosecutors said.

Coleman’s blood alcohol level at the time was .22%, or nearly three times the legal limit, prosecutors said.

Gabriela Andrade, 28, and her husband, Henry Saldana-Mejia, 27, were killed and their three daughters, ages 1, 4, and 5, received broken legs and head injuries, authorities said.

Coleman drove off after the crash, leaving the children, strapped into car seats, with the bodies of their parents, prosecutors said.

Coleman had been arrested 3 1/2 months before the crash in Laguna Beach for driving under the influence, acknowledging that she had a blood alcohol level of .18% at the time, authorities said.

“Drinking and driving has real life consequences,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.

“And those little girls are going to have to live with those consequences the rest of their lives because someone they never met decided to get behind the Continued on page 4

But for now, the unlikely pair of “Elvis’’ and “Maverick’’ are locked in a dance off (if you favor “Elvis’’) or a dead heat (if you prefer “Maverick’’).

That it was this close at all was due to both a better-than-expected opening for “Elvis’’ and remarkably strong continued sales for “Top Gun: Maverick.`` The “Top Gun’’ sequel reached $1 billion in worldwide box office in its fifth week of release.

“Elvis,’’ starring newcomer Austin Butler as Presley, came into the weekend with expectations closer to $25 million.

“Elvis’’ movie is a gorgeous mess Anaheim’s Austin Butler stars in this musical biography

By Lindsey Bahr AP Film Writer

The brief life of Elvis Presley is not something that fits neatly into a conventional biopic formula, though many have tried.

It was, perhaps, always going to take a director as wild and visionary as Baz Luhrmann to do something that evokes the essence of the King’s 42 years.

Luhrmann knows better than to adapt a Wikipedia page when it comes to a such a singular, larger-than-life star whose legend has only intensified and obscured almost a half a century after his death. Plus, he found a perfect star in Austin Butler, who fearlessly embodies the icon without ever slipping into impersonation.

Movie Review With “Elvis,’’ which arrives in theaters Friday, Luhrmann and Butler have created something gloriously messy – a maximalist opera of contradictions, styles, truths, myths, memories and headlines. It doesn’t explain, apologize or concern itself with logic.

Dates and locations, when they’re conveyed at all, often fly by with little fanfare in montages of newspaper headlines or broadcasts. No one who doesn’t already know the facts of Elvis Presley’s life is going to ace any trivia round about him after this film.

It sidesteps or completely disregards some seemingly significant things like the fact that he met Priscilla (given depth by Olivia DeJong) when he was 24 and she was 14. His entire Hollywood career is summed up in a quick montage that ends with

“Spongebob” takes a plunge at GG’s Gem If summer is here, it’s time to jump in the pool or ocean.

You can do that without actually getting wet when “The Spongebob Musical” opens at the Gem Theatre in Garden Grove on Thursday and continues through July 31.

“Spongebob Musical” is based on the popular children’s animated television series on Nickelodeon, but it’s not “for children only.”

The plot revolves around Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward and all of Bikini Bottom facing “total annihilation” until a hero emerges to save the day.

Performances will be Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. On Saturdays July 9 and July 16 matinees at 2 p.m. will also be offered.

AUSTIN BUTLER IS “ELVIS” The story of the icon of early rock and roll is revealed Tom Hanks’ Colonel Tom Parker saying in voiceover that “we had a lot of fun.’’

Perhaps it’s because there are other moments that Luhrmann and his team of screenwriters deem more important – Elvis’ early acts of rebellion in defiance of local politicians, the death of his mother, the assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and John and Robert Kennedy, the 1968 leather-clad comeback special and the gilded cage of his Las Vegas residency, among them.

And still, this almost three hour extravaganza that takes you from cradle to grave (and beyond) goes by in a fizzy, glittery, sweaty flash that does not leave you unsatisfied. It is propelled

by Butler’s transcendent portrayal of Elvis from age 17 on, capturing his almost overnight ascent from a scrawny truck driver and occasional singer to being the most famous man in the world.

Parker, Elvis’ controversial manager and promoter, may not

Good: HHH have known much about music, but he saw what Elvis did to an audience with his proto-punk stylings, gyrating hips and blend of country and R&B and knew there was money to be made off this kid.

The story is actually first framed as the morphine memory of Parker, who is dying in an austere hospital room overlooking the gaudy Las Vegas strip two decades after Elvis had passed.

Parker tells the audience that he is not the villain.

This is surely his prerogative and probably something he believed to be true despite all the evidence to the contrary that this carnival huckster ultimately broke his fragile star (or at least set him on a path to inevitable ruin).

And yet the fact that even under mountains of prosthetics and a strange accent that it is still Continued on page 6

‘Elvis’ movie making a star out of Austin Butler Continued from page 5

Tom Hanks with his endlessly empathetic eyes may have you second guessing yourself, or understanding why Elvis might have second-guessed himself.

The artifice of his performance fits in the context of Luhrmann’s theatrical storytelling.

Though the film is flimsy with biographical facts, it does make sure to put Elvis’s Mississippi and Beale Street influences front and center. We see him soak up everything from the sensuality of the juke joints and the rapture in the Pentecostal revival tents he saw as a child to the work of Black artists like B.B. King (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), Big Mama Thornton (Shonka Dukureh), Sister Rosetta Tharpe (Yola), Little Richard (Alton Mason) and Arthur “Big Boy’’ Crudup (Gary Clark Jr.) he’d see later.

It’s all presented without commentary, judgment or much introspection. Is it a cop out? A choice? Is it daring the audience

to make their own conclusions?

Whatever it is, it’s at least consistent with a movie where “Dr. Nick’’ and his pills seem to just appear out of the blue.

And, again, “Elvis’’ seems to be more about getting you on a gut, emotional level than inundating you with facts and complexities around race and business in mid-century America.

Luhrmann never does anything by half measures, but perhaps

one of the most striking thinks about “Elvis’’ is how ultimately restrained it is in the end.

This could have been a wallto-wall Can-Can fever dream, full of rhinestones and dizzying camera movements. There is some of that, certainly. But Luhrmann and his collaborators reserve most of that chaotic energy for the stage, and more specifically Elvis’s person. It is as though the wildness of all

of Luhrmann’s films is bursting out of Butler’s Elvis, through his hip thrusts and sweat and that booming, beautiful voice.

“Elvis,’’ a Warner Bros. release in theaters Friday, is rated PG13 by the Motion Picture Association for “substance abuse, strong language, suggestive material and smoking.’’ Running time: 159 minutes.

a throw that infuriated the threetime AL MVP. The umpires gathered together after the pitch, but only issued warnings to both dugouts.

“I get that you are trying to throw up and in, but not at the head,’’ Trout said. “If you can’t pitch inside, don’t pitch inside.

If you’re gonna hit me, hit me in the ribs, don’t hit me in the head.

I don’t know if that was the intent, but anything at the head, you don’t do that.’’

Winker reacted to getting hit by angrily yelling and gesturing at the Angels’ dugout, and the sides charged each other moments later, with both benches and bullpens emptying. The brawl lasted about four minutes, with people from both teams appearing to throw multiple punches.

When Winker finally left the field, he appeared to make an obscene gesture at the jeering Angels fans behind Seattle’s

dugout.

After the teams returned to their dugouts, Iglesias returned a few moments later to throw the sunflower seeds and gum while furiously screaming at the umpires.

Los Angeles interim manager Phil Nevin and Seattle’s Scott Servais were ejected. The Angels lost Wantz, Iglesias and reliever Ryan Tepera, while Winker, Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford were tossed for the Mariners.

The scoreless game was delayed about 18 minutes, and it resumed with pinch-runner Adam Frazier on first for Seattle and Jose Suarez on the mound for Los Angeles.

Perhaps the release of all that

tension helped the Halos, who ended up winning, 2-1. It also provided some time off for managers, coaches and players.

Nevin was suspended for 10 games. Anthony Rendon – who is injured and out for the season – is suspended for the first five games of 2023. Andrew Wantz got a three-game suspension, as did Ryan Tepera. Raisel Iglesias was hit for a two-game suspension.

Halo coaches Dom Chiti (five games) Ray Montgomery (two games) and Bill Haselman (one game) were also disciplined.

Three Mariners also received suspensions ranging from two to seven games.

It Was The Battle With Seattle Angels, Mariners got too familiar in the fight for 3rd

By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer

They say that familiarity breeds contempt. On Sunday it bred something closer to assault and battery.

The Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels engaged in a lengthy full-team brawl in the second inning after tensions over two days of inside pitches boiled over.

It was the eighth game in 11 between the two American League West rivals, who are battling for third place in the division.

Both managers and six players were ejected after the brouhaha, which stopped and started twice before Angels closer Raisel Iglesias came back out to the empty field to throw a tub of sunflower seeds and another bucket of gum onto the infield.

Long-time fans of the Los Angeles Angels can remember a particularly agonizing season when the relief corps was so inept – or snakebit – that it was termed “The Arson Squad.”

This year’s Halo bullpen isn’t quite that incendiary, but the inability to hold a lead has been a factor in the team’s struggles, as demonstrated in Tuesday’s loss to the Chicago White Sox in Anaheim.

Trailing the Halos 3-0 after

three runnings, the Chisox set fire to starter Chase Sileth and reliever Oliver Ortega with five runs in the fifth and then piled six more runs on the bullpen in the seventh and eighth innings.

The Angels had a respectable day at the plate, scoring four runs and getting nine hits. But they were only one-for-five with runners in scoring position and drew just one walk.

Most of the Orange County team’s offense came on the long ball. Andrew Velazquez homered (his fifth of the season), as did Mike Trout (23rd) and
