- One of LA's gang-reduction programs is drawing praise for their success, but their screening process for participation is coming under scrutiny.
- A Temple City man caught a 51-year-old man trying to snap an upskirt shot of a teenage girl on Saturday. He punched the shutterbug, then held him until the cops arrived to make the arrest.
- Californians will soon vote on Prop 1C, but some wonder if no matter which way the vote goes, we're going to lose out.
- One of city's most loved residents had a lot of help celebrating his 83rd birthday this weekend.
