The center treats sea lion pups with dehydration and tar exposure, using Pedialyte and Karo syrup daily. Volunteers like Joann Smith and Hunter support 70 volunteers and 10 staff, with pups fed four times daily before eventual release to the ocean. Patrick and Jenny were rescued amid rocky beaches, with Gomersall guiding attempts and a tarred pup named Rigby later admitted for care. See video and photos at ocregister.com/lagunabeach.

Warren Allen and Jim Rohrer have played Thursday and Saturday nights since 2011 at Forest Avenue and South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. The pair met in 1989 at Toshiba America and began performing in coffee shops and bookstores before street gigs became their heart of the city. They tune gear to overcome traffic noise and cover songs from the Beatles to Neil Young, with 6 to 8 p.m. sets and a Facebook page for Jim & Warren.
