Undercover Explorer Scout

LANCASTER, Calif.—Clerks at two liquor stores in Lancaster allegedly sold cigarettes to a 16-year-old in Lancaster during the first compliance check of 2011, a sheriff's deputy said today.

The teen, an Explorer Scout at the Lancaster Sheriff's Station, purchased cigarettes from clerks at Bob's Too Liquor, 551 West Avenue I, and TuPacks Liquor, 2802 East Avenue I, said Deputy Mike Kuper.

Ten locations were checked.

The clerks were arrested and will have to appear in court.

Standard amount of damage

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors recently ratified a declaration of a state of emergency for the county due to the recent storms.

Anticipating the damage, Supervisor Mike Antonovich signed a proclamation before Christmas declaring a state of emergency for parts of the county. The action activated an assessment team from the state to evaluate damage to infrastructure that could be followed by additional financial support and other resources from the state and federal governments.

It’s a great place for entrepreneurs to get together and market their business.

Ann Hill is always in chambers. Or, one might even say, she’s heavy into commerce—the Palmdale Chamber of Commerce, the Lancaster/Rosamond Chambers of Commerce, and the Quartz Hill Chamber of Commerce. And, when she can, she also attends meetings of the Antelope Valley Black Chamber of Commerce. She is also vice president of her local Toastmasters International (Area A-3).

The Greenwood, Miss., native is director of marketing and community relations at Antelope Valley Healthcare in Lancaster.
