Here are the top stories in Orange County today:

1. A shoutout to Crummack Huseby in Lake Forest. The property management company was named in the Orange County Register Top Workplaces list for 2022. Crummack Huseby Property Management was selected for the honor "solely on employee feedback" through a confidential third-party survey. (PR Newswire)
2. Be careful near swiftly moving water. A man was rescued from the Santa Ana River Sunday morning by Orange County firefighters and the Anaheim Fire Department. When rescuers arrived, they found the man trapped in fast-moving and heavy river water near Garden Grove Boulevard. A swift-water rescue team "secured the man and then pulled him up to the bridge above using a rope system." The man was transported to the hospital for treatment of unknown injuries.

3. What will happen to the baseball stadium in Anaheim? Baseball fans are wondering about the fate of the stadium as new leaders in Anaheim are considering the approach they'll take to find a new owner. Will the stadium be upgraded? Or will a new owner build a new stadium? Potential billionaire buyers are also considering what "Anaheim’s new City Council would be like as a landlord." No one knows what will happen next.

4. Celebrate the Christmas season with a dazzling boat parade this week. The countdown has begun to opening night of the 114th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 4 p.m. A fireworks display will be followed by more than 100 boats with "spectacular displays of holiday lights" traveling down a 14-mile parade route.
