On Saturday, July 18, the California Baptist University men's basketball team celebrated the past and present of its program by hosting the Lancer Community and Alumni Extravaganza featuring two alumni games and a practice session of the 2015-16 Lancers. Lancers from the 1960-99 era competed in the first alumni game, and fans saw some of CBU's greats take to the court once more in Warren Daniels (1989-92), the Lancers' all-time leading scorer with 1,716 points; Steve Deering (1973-76), all-time rebounder with 1,024 boards and second all-time leading scorer with 1,669 points in his career; and Steve Johnson (1973-76), CBU's all-time assister with 487 career assists and fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,519 career points. Three former coaches also returned to the court in Jerry King (CBU's all-time wins coach), Floyd Evans and Scott Mossman. The new millennium class (2000-15) competed in the second game, featuring players who helped CBU transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II. Fresh off his playing days, Chris Brown (2013-14 PacWest Defensive Player of the Year) reunited with teammates Anthony Cosentino and Ivan Patterson, who both received all-conference recognition after securing the program's first PacWest Conference Championship in 2013-14. Following the second alumni game, fans got a chance to see the 2015-16 Lancers in action with a look into a practice session as they gear up for summer competition in Canada. Returning this fall for CBU are two three-point shooters on pace to move up in the all-time record book. Gelaun Wheelwright (2014-15 PacWest Newcomer of the Year) and Ryan Berg (2013-14 PacWest Player and Freshman of the Year) look to dazzle fans once again from beyond the three-point arc. The pair rank in the top-10 of the all-time career record book for three-point field goals made with Berg in eighth (122) and Wheelwright in ninth (109).

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.

Photo Caption: Crime in San Bernardino has dropped by 30 percent or more throughout the city. One reason is that there are more officers on the streets. The Police Department’s goal is to have 350 sworn officers. Current full-time staffing is reported at 295 sworn officers and 156 professional staff.
