This opinion will be unpopular for many, so I’m just going to put it out there. People should be allowed to kill themselves. Before you accuse me of advocating for people to kill themselves, allow me to explain. Recently, a woman named Brittany Maynard announced that she was going to kill herself. Maynard had been diagnosed with brain cancer. In...

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is an eco-friendly and innovative approach to a building’s structure and setup; a slightly elevated increase in cost is nothing compared to the “green” future in the long-run. LEED is a voluntary, third-party rating system for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. At a Sept. 17 board of...

The Falcons defense forced five interceptions, in the last home game of the regular season, which helped earn a victory against Moorpark College, 43-33 and secure a bowl game for Cerritos.
