By JOSEPH PIMENTEL AND ROXANA KOPETMAN / STAFF WRITERS. SEND PDF. ANAHEIM Within 90 days, a California Court of Appeals will decide whether an overhaul can be forced to turn Palm Lane Elementary School into a charter school. Attorneys for the Anaheim Elementary School District and for parents of students met once again in court over the question whether parents did enough to invoke the Parent Empowerment Act, also known as the Parent Trigger Law. The law allows parents in a low-performing public school to change the administration, typically by converting the campus into a charter school, if they gather signatures from at least half of the school's parents. David Mishook, the attorney representing the school district, asked the three-judge panel to disregard the parents' petition, reiterating earlier trial arguments that the January, 2015 petition lacked the ...

How An Off-duty Cop Telling Teens To Stay Out Of His Yard Escalated To Gunfire, Protests And Outrage

... against police painted on their property. Gulrich lives in the house where the encounter ensued on video. After the footage went viral, she said, someone threw a rock through her bedroom window, thinking the officer lived there. Gulrich, who has lived in the neighborhood for 17 years, said it’s common for kids from the nearby high school to walk on her frontyard. The majority are respectful, she said. “Kids have torn up my plants, graffitied my fence. I tell them, ‘I don’t do this to your house so why are you doing it to mine?’ ” she said. “And they shrug their shoulders.”. But she and others have noticed an uptick in crime lately, after a skate park was built nearby. Other residents, along with the officer’s attorney, said people drink in the area or have vandalized property. “This is disconcerting because this is such a quiet and mellow neighborhood,” she said. Alex Torres, a senior at Gilbert High School, ...

Shea Theodore Living A Life Of Limbo Between Nhl, Ahl

... involves some level of tracking the player down for an invariably tough talk. Not Theodore. “The last few times he’s beat me to the punch,” Eakins says. “He comes in immediately. He’s walked in and said, ‘Hey, I’m not happy to be here, I’m onboard, what are we doing today?’ The conversations aren’t 30 and 40 minutes. They’re much shorter than they have been in the past.” Eakins is quick to rave about Theodore’s skating and puck-moving ability, but he falls short when trying to recall specific moments. Of course, this is understandable. “If you asked me about any other player, I could remember his last bunch of games quickly,” Eakins says. “He’s hard for me to get a real good footprint in my head the last time he was here.”. Indeed, all those ups and downs can result in some serious emotional…well, ups and downs. “You’re on such a high from getting called, then you get sent back,” Theodore says, “it’s not the greatest ...

Protesters Gather In Anaheim Over Lapd Officer Firing Gun During Confrontation With Teens

... and a criminal investigation into the incident was underway. The LAPD’s Force Investigation Division is also looking into the altercation and the officer has been placed on administrative leave, the LAPD said. Earlier in the day, You Tube videos surfaced that show the Tuesday altercation. Protesters gathered Wednesday night in the neighborhood of the shooting, eventually making their way to the officer’s home. Community leaders were initially speaking through a PA system in front of the homes where the fight occurred. They encouraged calm, togetherness and expressed dismay at Tuesday’s events. The calm ended when someone with a can of red spray paint began writing profanities about police on a garage door of the officer’s neighbor. Chants of “No justice — no peace,” “Killer cops, off our streets!” “Don’t shoot our kids!” and ...

Anaheim Ends Boston's Win Streak Under Cassidy

... said. "I think the guys are frustrated. The positive with that is we knew we could have won that hockey game if we just took care of a few things here or there. Nothing worse than going out of a game thinking you had no chance. We definitely had our chance.". Bernier started his second straight game in place of John Gibson, a late scratch with a lower-body injury. He made a handful of jaw-dropping saves, including a diving stop of Patrice Bergeron with his stick. "You don't want to make those saves, because it means you're out of position," Bernier said. Forward Nic Kerdiles made his NHL debut for the Ducks, becoming the first player from Orange County to suit up for Anaheim. Kerdiles lived in Irvine for most of his childhood and regularly attended games at Honda Center before the club drafted him in 2012.
