How planting clover in the garden brought out slugs, a skunk and more

Eighteen months ago, I covered a large portion of my backyard with the seeds of white clover (Trifolium repens), also known as Dutch clover. This is the classic clover that grows in lawns and is erroneously considered to be a weed in some quarters. I am enormously pleased with my decision to grow clover even if initially I was skeptical.
I planted the seeds at the beginning of the fall since I knew clover seeds germinate best in cool weather. Yet, lo and behold, there was a heatwave immedi

Susan Shelley: How will the U.S. Supreme Court handle Grants Pass v. Johnson?

Last Monday, the question of when and if cities may enforce an anti-camping ordinance finally came before the U.S. Supreme Court.
It has been a long wait.
The smallest details of homelessness policy in California and other western states have been under the control of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals since April 2006, when the American Civil Liberties Union won a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles. The decision in Jones v. Los Angeles was “historic,” the ACLU said, and “

So I bought an orchid at a plant sale. Here’s what I learned

I recently purchased a vanilla orchid from a local plant sale because the idea of growing one intrigued me. I’ve grown air plants (tillandsia) with some degree of success and have managed to keep a couple of carnivorous plants alive for several years, so I figured I was up to the challenge of growing orchids.
Like a good gardener, I did a bit of research into orchids and their growth requirements and found out that, although their care is not complicated, it is different from what most hou

Larry Wilson: Spy vs. Spy: Why no spy will ever cop to it

“It is the oldest question of all, George,” a colleague says to English spymaster George Smiley in John le Carre’s brilliant novel “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.” “Who can spy on the spies?”
But I have a different question: Why is no one apprehended on charges of espionage ever a spy?
I mean, I know why. It wouldn’t do to just say, “Ya got me, Russkie! Toss me in the gulag and kiss my frosty heinie goodbye!”

Here’s why steelhead trout’s endangered status could pump life into Southern California rivers

When the state attached endangered species status to the iconic Southern California steelhead trout last week, it was like giving an aging Hollywood starlet new billing. But will the klieg lights bring attention, money and fame, or ready them for their final close-up?
Known simply as Southern California steelhead, they once teemed in the tens of thousands in streams and rivers from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border. But after rivers were mummified in concrete, dams were erected and habitat tur

Here are the common occupant mistakes made in real estate

Occupants of commercial real estate, also referred to as users or occupiers, fall into two categories: tenants or owners.
Since both are tenants, I’ll draw a finer distinction, noting that one genre pays rent to an unrelated third party, the landlord, while the other pays rent to a related owner of the building.
The most common in the second type is a real estate ownership structured as a limited liability company and the occupier a corporation.
Today, I want to focus upon some common mist

Alexander: Kings face only a one-game deficit, but it feels larger

LOS ANGELES — The Kings said all of the expected things Friday night, after they’d frittered away the home-ice advantage they’d earned two nights before in Edmonton – decisively, in a testy, penalty-filled 6-1 loss to the Oilers.
“I think our team has a lot of character,” defenseman Matt Roy said. “It’s 2-to-1. We’re still in the series. We’re not out of it. Nobody’s going to quit in here.”
“Obviously, learn” fro

UCLA softball beats Arizona in 5 innings to kick off rivalry weekend

LOS ANGELES — A four-run second inning powered by three seniors propelled the UCLA softball team to a 10-2, five-inning victory over Arizona in the opener of a three-game series on Friday evening at Easton Stadium.
Maya Brady threaded a two-run single down the right side to score Seneca Curo and Thessa Malau’ulu, then Sharlize Polacios’ sacrifice fly to right field brought in Janelle Meoño. Jadelyn Allchin’s RBI single sent Brady home and gave the Bruins a 5-0 adva

Stagecoach 2024: Carin León makes history at country music festival

Balladeer Carin León continues to carve out his place in Latin music as one of the most prominent acts in Mexican regional music, but he is also rapidly winning over the country music fandom, performing at the iconic Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in February and making history as the first artist to perform mainly in Spanish at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this weekend.

Oilers pounce on Kings early in Game 3 to take 2-1 series lead

LOS ANGELES — The momentum from a road victory and the confidence of being the NHL’s top team at home after the All-Star break meant little for the Kings on Friday night as they meandered through a 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers at Crypto.com Arena, falling behind 2-1 in their first-round playoff series.
The Kings ruled the roost down the stretch, going 14-3-1 at home since Feb. 10, but that provided no solace as they found themselves trailing the same club that eliminated them from

Angels come up short in sloppy loss to Twins

But when they arrived at the hotel on Friday, Verse’s escort told him he had two minutes before they had to leave. He questioned the sudden change of plan, and was told his new coaches wanted to speak to him before they made their seco

Clippers drop chippy Game3 to Mavericks, trail series 2-1

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer
DALLAS — Luka Doncic had 22 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and the suddenly defensive-minded Dallas Mavericks took a chippy 101-90 victory over the Clippers on Friday night for a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Rams select RB Blake Corum in 3rd round of NFL draft

TORONTO —Canadians are known to be good-natured, polite and just downright nice.
They went a little off brand at Rogers Centre on Friday night, putting that aside to boo Shohei Ohtani like so many jilted lovers who stored up their animosity since December when false media reports gave them false hope that Ohtani would be starting a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them.
Ohtani had a 360-foot response to the boos in his first at-bat, lining a home run into the right field sea
