RIVERSIDE - Sen. Dianne Feinstein's proposed ban on military-style firearms and advocacy of other gun restrictions won praise today from a Riverside County prosecutor and condemnation from the head of a gun owners' rights group. ''This could play an important part in saving lives,'' said veteran Deputy District Attorney Burke Strunsky. ''If you look at the specifics of the senator's legislation, it really factors in all the legitimate uses of firearms. This is not about raiding somebody's home and taking away their guns.''...

This Gird Valley establishment changed ownership last July and the new owners, Jack and Bonnie...

If I were a betting man, I would bet that most guys dreaded life when it came time to pick teams in school. Come to think of it, I don’t think I have ever talked with anyone who has fond memories of this horrid event. I guess the best way to describe it is “extremely awkward.” First, you have to stand in a row with all the other kids who are more athletic and way more popular than you. Then team captains are picked and it was usually the team captain who picked himself. Then the bidding war began. If you were like most of us...

The night and early morning weather from Jan. 11 through Jan. 16 was more suitable for hockey than for produce and flower growing, but the cold periods weren’t extensive enough to cause crop damage. “It just seems like minor amounts of damage,” said San Diego County Farm Bureau executive director Eric Larson. Much of the impact involved reversed growth from December’s warmer temperatures. “Some of that got burnt back, but that seems to be about it,” Larson said. “I’ve talked to a lot of growers this week,” Larson said. “Eve...
