He gazed at the bare mountain slope that rises steeply behind his family’s home and said, “The whole hillside behind us could come tumbling down.” The Station Fire gobbled up the vegetation on......Full Story

McGlashan Powers Spartans to Two League Victories

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 record, 3-0 in league) led by a point after the first quarter, but the Spartans’ stingy defense gave up just eight points in the second quarter and enabled the home team to extend their lead to seven at halftime.
