• Daxon: Police Chief Jack Conklin retiring after 30 years with Brea department

  21-03-2019 21:37
  
  I recently had a conversation with Brea Police Chief Jack Conklin, who is retiring May 3 from the Police Department after 33 years in law enforcement.
  Conklin began his career with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and then moved in 1989 to Brea’s department where he started as a patrol officer for Brea and Yorba Linda, well before Yorba Linda leaders decided to contract with the Sheriff’s Department for policing services.
  “I spent half my career in Yorba Linda,&rdqu

• Clippers’ Landry Shamet is more than a shooter – but he gets the point

  Wichita State didn’t make this year’s NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven years, but Shockers fans should be able to tune into Clippers games in the coming weeks to see a point guard of theirs play on.
  In Wichita, that’s how they think of Landry Shamet, the Clippers’ sharp new starting shooting guard – more as a point guard than as purely a long-distance sniper.
  In his two years at Wichita State, Shamet’s 288 career assists are the second most in schoo

• Culture carries UCLA women’s basketball into 4th straight NCAA tournament

  LOS ANGELES — If it had been up to the players, UCLA’s women’s basketball team likely wouldn’t have played in the 2015 WNIT at all. The Bruins were 13-19, fed up from a frustrating season that included several blown late-game leads, and would have much preferred to be on spring break instead of running through practice drills.
  But it wasn’t up to them.

  Continue harvesting winter crops and citrus. Remember – you don’t need to pick all your oranges, lemons, and other citrus when it first ripens. Most citrus fruits will hold on the tree – and become even sweeter – for several months. So harvest what you can use and let the rest of the fruits get sweeter. Then as more and more start to fall off, you can harvest the rest of the crop and share it.
