La Cañada Flintridge residents
whose homes back up to fire-ravaged
hillsides braced for catastrophe
as night fell Wednesday and the
third of a series of Pacific storms
swept into the area.
And most had to fret over their
homes in absentia, as 251 homeowners
in particularly vulnerable
neighborhoods were urged to evacuate
Wednesday.

The La Cañada High School
varsity boys’ basketball team
defeated visiting Monrovia, 60-47,
in Rio Hondo League game last
Friday.
The Spartans displayed a balanced
scoring attack, which was
led by guard Mike McGlashan,
who nearly had a triple-double with
a team-high 14 points, 10 rebounds
and eight assists.
La Cañada (14-3 overall

each, Omar Rady had three and
