    Bringing CHP in to police city streets in state
    Oakland is just the eighth most populous city in California, but for both good and bad reasons, it often punches above its weight in its influence in the state.
    And it’s currently in the national spotlight as the ostensible hometown of Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president.
    It’s true that the vice president happened to be born in an Oakland hospital. But she grew up in neighboring Berkeley, where her parents lived. Problem is, no one who aspires to the White House can a

    Tom Campbell: Trump and Biden both agree on the same bad idea, a sovereign wealth fund
    Americans might want to burst with bipartisan contentment that President Biden and former President Trump have endorsed the same idea: a sovereign wealth fund. This particular proposal is so flawed, however, that the Biden and Trump agreement instead constitutes a sorry commentary on the state of economic sophistication at the top of our two major parties.
    A sovereign wealth fund serves a useful but limited purpose—one which is not applicable to the deficit-ridden American government. When

    Tips for the best pruning practices for the garden
    Q. What is the difference between winter pruning and summer pruning for fruit trees? Does it really make a difference in fruit production?
    Winter pruning is done during the tree’s dormant period when all of the leaves have fallen and the branch structure is more visible. For most deciduous trees, this would take place in January or February. Winter pruning accomplishes two things. First, it is for shaping the overall structure of the tree. There should only be 3-5 main branches that are ev

  • Fearing the worst, schools deploy armed police to thwart gun violence

    Fearing the worst, schools deploy armed police to thwart gun violence
    By Christine Spolar | KFF Health News
    PITTSBURGH — A false alarm that a gunman was roaming one Catholic high school and then another in March 2023 touched off frightening evacuations and a robust police response in the city. It also prompted the diocese to rethink what constitutes a model learning environment.
    Months after hundreds of students were met by SWAT teams, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh began forming its own armed police force.

    ‘License plate flippers’ help drivers evade police, tickets and tolls

    State and local legislators in Tennessee and Pennsylvania are cracking down on the use of “license plate flippers,” devices that allow drivers to obscure or conceal their license plates at the press of a button.
    License plate flippers are commonly used for aesthetic purposes at auto shows, where they allow drivers to switch between custom or decorative plates. But across the country, thousands of drivers also flip or cover their lice

    Value investing vs. growth investing: Which is better in today’s market?
    James Royal, Ph.D. | Bankrate.com (TNS)
    It’s the perennial question among stock investors: which is better — growth investing or value investing? Recently, there’s been little contest. Growth stocks, such as Apple and Nvidia, have handily outperformed value names. But it’s not always that way, and many investors think value will once again have its day — although they’ve been waiting on that day for quite some time.

    Did climate change make the Airport, Bridge and Line fires worse?
    Climate change didn’t light the match, but it likely set the stage for the Airport, Bridge and Line fires to burn fiercely and aggressively throughout Southern California, say academics and the head of an environmental group.
    As of Friday afternoon, Sept. 13, the three blazes had consumed more than 113,000 acres in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, forcing people to flee, burning multiple homes and shuttering schools amid sweltering temperatures that have since co

    Young, hungry female’s attack reveals much about state of Southern California mountain lions
    New evidence from a mountain lion attack of a little boy on Labor Day weekend while enjoying a family picnic in a state park in the Santa Monica Mountains, suggests the attack may not have been as unexpected as reported.
    Data from a necropsy of the euthanized puma, and findings in a recent study on human attacks and knowledge from a wildlife veterinarian who specializes in mountain lions suggest that the attack on Sept. 1 checked all the boxes that contribute to lion-verses-human incidents.

    To better understand one of America’s great cities and its origin, we took a walking tour of the city. I love the architecture of the bygone days, and as a commercial real estate professional, the stories behind how cities develop are fascinating to me.

    Foothill football tops Troy in see-saw battle with TD in final seconds
    FULLERTON – Foothill’s Gino Marchetti is named after a Hall of Fame football player, and Friday he did his namesake proud.
    Marchetti passed for 241 yards and a touchdown, and his second rushing touchdown, with 24 seconds remaining, lifted Foothill to a 42-41 victory over Troy in a nonleague, see-saw battle at Fullerton High.
    A 1-yard touchdown run by Troy quarterback Rudy Alcala broke a 35-all tie with 1:27 remaining for the previously unbeaten Warriors. But the extra point failed, l

    Capistrano Valley football takes control early in win over Aliso Niguel
    MISSION VIEJO — Tommy Acosta couldn’t believe what was happening. The Capistrano Valley quarterback kept getting the ball back just yards away from the end zone, it seemed.
    And the senior – and the rest of the Cougars – took advantage of their good fortune.
    They scored early, they scored often, and they scored a 35-14 victory over Aliso Niguel in a nonleague game on Friday.
    The first half could hardly have gone better for the Capo Valley. Its first four possessions all be

    The Oilers entered the game with an average of 41 points per game but failed to score despite three trips into the red zone.

    WHITTIER — In a game that went back and forth for nearly 48 minutes, a 34-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Landon Armenta as time expired gave host La Serna a 31-28 nonleague victory over Tesoro on Friday night at Cal High.
    “I’ve never had a kick like that to win and it was just an amazing feeling having to do the job for the team,” Armenta said
    After Tesoro (2-2) tied the score at 28-all with 4:20 left, both teams failed to move the ball over the next three minutes.

    HUNTINGTON BEACH — The Edison football team, historically one of Orange County’s better teams, wasn’t off to a good start this season.
    But the Chargers appear to be heading back in the right direction after their 41-7 victory over Palos Verdes in a nonleague game Friday at Huntington Beach High School.
    The Chargers (2-2), who had started the season 0-2, were in control from the outset, mostly because of running back Julius Gillick and quarterback Savelio Niumata, along with a d

    The Friars are 4-0 for the first time since 2021.

    SANTA ANA — Even a lack of preparation couldn’t slow Santa Margarita down on Friday night.

    The Angels’ Italian left-hander was knocked out in the third inning of a 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday night.
