Sure, Laguna Beach has million-dollar ocean views, shi-shi restaurants and an amazing art colony but can it compete with the longtime-based La Verne Club West 12 Elite team, winners of the Junior Nationals?

Roger, a Rio Hondo Police Academy graduate, has filed our latest crime report for the period from July 4 through July 7.

On Friday, July 9, La Verne once again demonstrated why it was named one of the nation’s “Top 10 Communities for Families” by Family Circle magazine this week as hundreds of volunteers, including actress Marcia Cross (Bree Hodge on ABC’s ”Desperate Housewives”), teamed up with the nonprofit organization KaBOOM!, Mott’s, NFL Play 60 and Stater Bros. Charities to help build [...]

The La Verne 10-year-old all-stars on Thursday night at Henderson Field had less success than a pickpocket working an FBI convention.

The trio went back to back to [...]

Trailing 9-8 in the top of the fifth, Nick Peifer blasted a one-out two run home run with Andrew Berdugo aboard to help lift La Verne to 10-9 victory over San Dimas in the exciting opening round of the District 20 Little League 11-year-old all-star playoffs at Marchant Park in San Dimas. Piefer did it [...]
