Beer Pong Tournament
I covered a beer pong tournament for the first time last night. Believe it or not, this event was a fundraiser for a non-profit taxi service designed to keep drunk drivers off the roads. I guess, then, it makes sense that the cups were filled with water and not beer.
Deputy Kent Hintergardt Memorial Highway Dedication
When my family moved to Temecula in 1993, I vaguely recall hearing about the death of Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Kent Hintergardt. He was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call a few months before we arrived.
