El Dorado can’t overcome Hart’s advantages in boys volleyball Division 4 final

• May 14, 2023

NORWALK – El Dorado could not match its opponent’s size and power at the net Saturday when it took on Hart of Newhall in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 boys volleyball championship at Cerritos College.

Hart swept El Dorado in three sets, 25-19, 25-21, 25-19, as its outside hitters, 6-foot-7 senior Owen Douphner and 6-6 senior Hank Kaufman, were difference makers.

Douphner had a match-high 28 kills on 41 attempts and Kaufman had 13 kills.

El Dorado and Hart were in a CIF-SS boys volleyball final for the first time.

The Golden Hawks fell behind early in the first set. It quickly was a 4-0 Hart lead.

“We had a lot of nerves at the beginning,” said El Dorado coach Britney Brown. “It’s the first time ever in the history of our program to get here. They (the players) were a little excited.”

Hart built its first-set lead to 19-7. El Dorado settled down, with middle blocker Kaiden Gerard and outside hitter Max Smith leading the charge. The Golden Hawks couldn’t stop Douphner and Kaufman from drilling spikes, though, and Hart took the first set 25-19.

El Dorado twice had one-point leads in the second set and it was 17-17 later. Douphner again kept pounding kills including the set-winner as Hart won 25-21.

El Dorado kept battling in the third set, too, grabbing a 9-8 lead and later rallying to tie it 18-18, but could not reclaim the lead in a 25-22 match-ending loss.

The season continues for the Golden Hawks (19-15) and Hart (32-5) next week in the CIF Southern California Regional. The brackets for all four divisions will be announced Sunday.

El Dorado was led by Smith’s 11 kills. Gerard and Golden Hawks outside hitter Keaton Raymond had six kills each. Senior libero Oliver Toth had a team-high 14 digs.

Smith, Raymond and Gerard are juniors, as is setter Ryan Chia, which gives Brown optimism that the 2024 season could be as good as this season, or better.

“This is a team full of juniors,” said Brown, in her fifth year in charge of the team. “We’re coming back next year.”

Long-awaited trails open in Fullerton’s West Coyote Hills

• May 14, 2023

Fullerton residents on Saturday explored part of West Coyote Hills long inaccessible to visitors.

The city celebrated the opening of the first two miles of new trails planned through the 72-acre Robert Ward Nature Preserve, on the eastern edge of the 510-acre West Coyote Hills.

Chevron-Pacific Coast Homes completed the trails, which are being called the Initial Trails, as part of its agreements to develop portions of West Coyote Hills. More trails and an interpretive center are also planned in the future.

Since releasing its proposal years ago for building communities on about half of the 510-acre former oil field, Chevron has made the property available for purchase for preservation as open space. The city concentrated its efforts and secured enough grants and funding to acquire 24.1 acres on the east side of North Gilbert Street to preserve everything up to the nature preserve it has owned since the 1980s.

Saturday was also a celebration of the land acquisition.

“This welcome opening of the West Coyote Hills Trails has been a collaborative partnership between the city of Fullerton, advocacy groups and our local state representatives,” Mayor Fred Jung said in a statement.

The two miles of wide dirt paths feature wooden trail fencing, interpretive signs sharing the history and wildlife of the area and benches for taking breaks.

“It’s an awesome trail,” said 22-year resident Asghar Tavana at Saturday’s ceremony.

“The community has fought to save this open space for a very long time. Through the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, we finally have a beautiful new recreation area in the heart of north Orange County,” Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, who helped secure funds, said in a statement.

Robert Hayden, of the group Open Coyote Hills, had a sneak peek of the trails while they were being constructed and said children are going to love a sculpture tucked away along one of the paths. It is of a shepherd and his dog, and Hayden said the pup is just the right size for a child looking to sit. Oh, and the dog’s name is Buzz.

Hayden said when you are in the preserve you often don’t see any of the homes nearby, which in urban Fullerton, “that’s pretty neat.”

Hayden and Open Coyote Hills have long been supporters of a housing development if it would also preserve and open up parts of West Coyote Hills to recreation. With the oil operations, residents haven’t had access to some of these areas since the city’s early days, he said.

Another group, Friends of Coyote Hills, is still trying to prevent any development of the rolling hills and is advocating for the purchase of the property on the western side of North Gilbert Street. The Rivers and Mountains Conservancy is taking proposals now for reviewing a recent appraisal of the fair market value of the remaining 480-plus acres.

“This exciting event validates our continuing work toward securing additional funding to acquire the remainder of the West Coyote Hills property and preserve it as accessible natural open space as well,” said Senator Josh Newman, who helped get the appraisal.

At the same time, as it has said it would be open to the acquisition of more property and has cooperated with the appraisal, Chevron is also moving forward with pursuing its development plan.

“Coyote Hills is really this oasis of open space,” said Angela Lindstrom with the Friends group. She called the couple miles of trails opened Saturday, “a good start. … It is really a great resource for all of this area.”

Whatever the future of the West Coyote Hills area, Hayden said, “this is the one thing that we will come together and celebrate, the opening of these trails.”

See gift ideas for the kitchen and cooks who crave sustainability

• May 14, 2023

By KATIE WORKMAN (Associated Press)

This time of year can be a big gift-giving moment, with Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, weddings and more. And whatever the occasion, if the recipient enjoys spending time in the kitchen, then food and kitchen-related gifts are a natural place to start.

More and more of us are shopping and cooking with an eye toward sustainability and eco-consciousness. So here are some cooking gifts and tips that fit that bill:

You can start by doing a little homework on the company you’re purchasing from. That job has been done for you if the company has gotten a B Corp certification. It shows that a business is meeting high standards in supporting a variety of community and environmental markers, with measurable metrics. The certification lasts three years before needing to be renewed.

Another accreditation to look for is 1% for the Planet, which means the company has committed to donate 1% of annual sales to environmental causes, and is transparent in its efforts to operate sustainably. Climate Neutral is an organization that measure carbon accountability.

Beyond such designations, visit a company’s website and see what they have to say about their practices and how the product was made. Customers are increasingly demanding transparency and accountability in companies they buy from.

FOOD

Pantry staples like olive oil are a great present. Companies like Bona Furtuna are paying attention to nurturing their regions’ biodiversity. Their farm is fertilized entirely with organic matter, including compost created through the production of their olive oils. California Olive Ranch has committed to transparency and sustainable practices in both growing and packaging.

Brightland partners with small, family-run olive farms in California that grow without pesticides or chemicals and pay fair wages to farmworkers. The brand is helping to convert land use from water- and chemical-intensive crops to drought-resistant, low-impact olive production.

McEvoy Ranch has a wide range of flavor-infused olive oils and likewise aims to create a self-sufficient and balanced ecosystem. That includes tending orchards in accordance with organic regulations, and converting all ranch waste products, including spent olives, into compost that then nurtures the soil.

Buying meat and fish in a responsible way has become important to many of us. Luckily, there are companies like ButcherBox, which makes use of the whole animal. ButcherBox delivers grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, humanely raised pork and wild-caught seafood to your door. Crowd Cow, Porter Road and Good Chop are similar options, with no added hormones or antibiotics.

Awareness of how fragile our oceans have become has been heightened. Organizations like SeaChoice and the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch are good places to start investigating the sustainability of a particular kind of fish.

Think about buying a gift box or perhaps a monthly subscription to a company verified by one of these organizations. Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics says all its fish and shellfish are vetted and approved by a reputable third-party sustainability organization. Their orders are shipped with dry ice in corrugated cardboard boxes that are fitted with thermal liners made from recycled denim, which can then be recycled again. Offerings include a Wild Fish Monthly Subscription.

If you’d like to reduce food waste and also save money, consider another cool subscription gift: Misfits Market, which delivers produce and other healthy foods saved from going to waste.

How about a gift basket? Clif Family offers assortments of their small-production organic wines and specialty foods inspired by the flavors of Napa Valley, with a mission of bringing high quality with the lowest impact to the planet. Think honeys, wines, preserves and nuts. Frog Hollow Farm has lovely gift boxes filled with fresh fruits, sun-dried fruits, fruit spreads and more.

Or buy some pretty reusable jars and package up an assortment of granolas. Check out One Degree Organics from Canada (their motto is “all ingredients from farmers we know”) and Grandy Organics, made in small batches in a solar powered factory in Maine.

KITCHEN GOODS

There are companies producing beautiful and functional cookware and tabletop items with a focus on sustainability.

Tag Home Décor uses natural and sustainable materials in many of their products, such as a handwoven sustainable jute rug and upcycled, salvaged-cotton kitchen rug made on traditional pit looms. It cozies up a space and provides cushioning for a tired cook’s feet. They also have a hand-crafted, onyx-marble board made from natural stone.

Goodee works with artisans who exclusively use naturally occurring materials, and works to enable them to earn a sustainable living through their crafts. The company offers many items for cooking and dining, including lovely Oaxaca-made tumblers using locally sourced recycled glass and alternative energy. There’s also a beautiful pepper grinder made from sustainably sourced teak wood.

Loopy Products makes products from upcycled agricultural waste; their sustainable coffee mug, made with waste from coffee manufacturing, was a Global Innovation Award Finalist at the Inspired Home Show this year. Their coffee, flour and tea storage containers are an eco-friendly way to store staples.

For the cook who wants to compost, there’s the very affordable Bamboozle compost bin. The filtered lid helps to absorb any smells caused from off-gassing. It’s made from biodegradable bamboo fiber and dishwasher safe.

Need items for a little basket of eco-friendly items for a kitchen refresh? Consider botanically infused papers from The Fresh Glow Co,. which are designed to keep foods fresher longer, and are organic and compostable.

Everyone can use a spiffy new portable drink container. Klean Kanteen makes a ton of them, and the company a long-standing B Corp. and is certified by Climate Neutral (a carbon-accountability designation). Their products are made with 90% post-consumer recycled stainless steel, which results in a significant reduction in steel greenhouse gases.

Dish towels are always in short supply in an avid cook’s kitchen, and are a smart, reusable alternative to paper towels. Tag makes textured dish cloths in lots of colors, so you can add a bright spot to cleaning up. Atelier Saucier makes lovely table linens, all sustainably sourced, rescued or repurposed.

Material Kitchen’s reBoards are BPA-free cutting boards made of kitchen plastic scraps and renewable sugar cane. They come in a variety of beautiful colors.

Sustainability means different things to different people, but these days it’s easier than ever to shop with purpose and give gifts with meaning.

St. Margaret’s boys volleyball falls short of winning back-to-back CIF-SS titles

• May 14, 2023

NORWALK — The St. Margaret’s boys volleyball team had an opportunity Saturday to win CIF Southern section titles in back-to-back seasons.

After taking the first set, the Tartans fell to El Segundo in the next three games as the third-seeded Eagles won 20-25, 25-19, 25-18, 25-9 in the Division 3 final at Cerritos College.

St. Margaret’s (29-6), the 2022 Division 4 champ and No. 1 seed this season, had gone 15 matches without dropping a set until it faced El Segundo.

After taking the opening set 25-20, the Tartans seemed to be off to a great start, but coach Bob Yoder felt things shifted in the second set due to a lack of fundamentals by his team.

“Our passing really broke down,” Yoder said. “We’ve been a really good serve and pass team. It’s cliché, but that’s pretty much the game. We were OK the first game but they got to us by the middle of the second game. We could not get the ball consistently up there, so that was the biggest issue.”

“It just took a second to shake the cobwebs off, adjust and roll into the game,” El Segundo coach Luke Dallavo said. “Second set, once we started getting touches on the block, that’s when we really started to get into our groove.”

Reed Wainwright finished with 13 kills for St. Margaret’s and Luke Reinskensmeyer added nine kills

El Segundo (23-3) was led by the Pilkvist brothers, Dylan and Ryan, who recorded 18 and 15 kills, respectively.

The sophomore duo wreaked havoc from the outside while Daniel Escobar was a force at the net.

The Eagles won their first championship since 2015.

“We know how good this program can be, so we’re glad we can get back to that spot a few years later,” Dallavo said.

El Segundo wins the Division 3 final in four sets over St. Margaret’s, 20-25, 25-19, 25-18, 25-9. Dylan Pilkvist had the ace for match point. Eagles first title since 2015!@ocvarsity @breezepreps pic.twitter.com/oFhQqB49KA

— David Delgado (@DavidDelgado_OC) May 13, 2023

Yoder felt the challenge El Segundo presented was unlike anything the Tartans saw all year, but he was pleased that his team nearly won consecutive championships after moving up a division.

“I was proud of these guys in moving up,” he said. “It’s a school of 450 kids and it’s a good group of guys.”

Galaxy’s Jalen Neal, denied a U-20 World Cup spot, sees the positive

• May 14, 2023

Several teams across Major League Soccer debated releasing their players for the upcoming FIFA U-20 World Cup later this month.

The Galaxy was one of those clubs.

While Marcus Ferkranus and newly signed Mauricio Cuevas were selected to the roster and have joined the team in Argentina, defender Jalen Neal was not released, which is understandable when looking at the Galaxy roster .

Neal was a member of the U-20 team that won the CONCACAF Championships and qualified for this month’s World Cup and the next year’s Olympics.

“It was kind of expected for me,” he said Friday. “In the beginning (of the season) as the season went on, I was getting more playing time. I thought it would help me get into the U-20 World Cup, but in the end, it was the reason I didn’t go.

“Obviously, I was disappointed. It was a dream of mine to go play in the U-20 World Cup, especially since this is the only chance to play in the U-20 World Cup for me, but to still be here with my team, there are still positives to take out of it. To see how much the team values me and Greg (Vanney) values me, so it’s nice to see that also. I always have motivation to reach the highest accomplishments I can, especially now that the U-20 cycle is over me, now I’m looking toward the main (U.S. National) team for sure.”

Ferkranus and Cuevas were also members of the U-20 team that qualified for the World Cup. Ferkranus has spent this season with Galaxy II and Cuevas has yet to debut, but his previous club, Club Brugge, had already given the OK for him to be selected.

As the Galaxy prepares to take on California Clasico rival San Jose on Sunday (6:30 p.m., FS1), Neal is one a few healthy center backs remaining. Sega Coulilbaly and Chris Mavinga are sidelined with injuries, making Neal’s presence even more necessary, especially as the club heads into the upcoming stretch of four games in nine days.

“There are positives and negatives (of not going), but now my focus is with the Galaxy,” Neal said. “One of the positives I’m taking out of this is knowing that the club trusts me that much, that they want to keep me for this stretch of games. It’s also an important stretch of games for us, coming off of a (Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup) win, we can use this as momentum.”

Busy days ahead

The question facing the Galaxy this week will be can the club survive the upcoming stretch?

The Galaxy played a first-team lineup in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup game. After Sunday’s home game, the Galaxy will travel to Columbus for a game Wednesday, followed by a trip to D.C. United for a Saturday game and then back home for Round of 16 U.S. Open Cup game against LAFC on May 22.

Coulilbaly, Mavinga and Douglas Costa remain injured and unavailable.

“At the end of the day, we’re going to approach this home game with everything to try and win the home game,” Vanney said. “Then we’ll assess and see where we are. I think the toughest turn around we’re going to have is between Sunday and Wednesday, within that you have to travel to Columbus and play off of two days of rest. That’s going to be a difficult transition.

“Depending how we approach Wednesday, you will probably see something a little different on Saturday. We will try to manage the guys through this week, for sure. There are a lot of guys who’ve played some minutes here or there, there are some guys at the start of the season who were starting and haven’t played a ton recently that need another opportunity again. We’ve got guys chomping at the bit to show that they’re ready to help the team and this is that opportunity for everybody to step in and contribute.”

San Jose at Galaxy

When: 6:30 p.m. Sunday

Where: Dignity Health Sports Park

TV: FS1, Apple TV (free)

Huntington Beach girls lacrosse team defeats Portola to win Division 3 title in its second season

• May 14, 2023

DOWNEY — In only its second year as a program, the Huntington Beach girls lacrosse team beat Portola 12-9 Saturday to win the CIF-SS Division 3 championship at Downey High.

The Oilers had a team last season but was a freelance team without a league and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. Huntington Beach (16-4) was an at-large representative from the Sunset League this season and was the No. 3 seed in Division 3.

“They are super fun, coachable and awesome teammates to each other,” Huntington Beach coach Brian Eisenberg said. “I can’t say enough great things about them.”

The Oilers opened the season with 10 consecutive wins and Eisenberg realized that the team had championship potential.

“We have a few girls that have a little bit more experience than the rest of the team and we knew we had some athletes coming in,” Eisenberg said. “I set the goal for a championship early in the season and they didn’t really understand what it was because we are a brand new team, but I really thought we could do this and they bought in.”

Lauren Pilkington led the Huntington Beach offense with four goals and Nicole Hazan added three. Maya Ford, the team’s leading scorer this season, added two goals.

Portola (20-2) trailed 5-0 early but battled its way back into the game. Jadyn Zdanavage scored six goals for the Bulldogs, which brought her season total to a county-high 134.

The Huntington Beach defense, led by Ella Kelly, frequently double-teamed Zdanavage and made it difficult for Portola to get clean shots. Oilers goalie Rachel Levine had three saves.

“(Rachel) is captain and has just been the mom of this team the whole year,” Eisenberg said. “Ella Kelly just started playing last January and she totally glues our defense together.”

Amy Bebawy had five saves for Portola which helped keep the Bulldogs in the game.

Portola beat Millikan. Heritage and Northwood in the early rounds of the playoffs.

The Bulldogs were in danger of not having a season this year due to a lack of coaches, but soccer coaches Jeralyn Newton, Joshua Stringer and Samantha Ezratty took over coaching duties to save the season.

Angels appreciate Matt Thaiss back behind the plate

• May 14, 2023

CLEVELAND — After a slow start to the season, Matt Thaiss’ bat is heating up, and he’s helped the Angels find some stability at a position hit hard by injuries.

The Angels catcher is hitting .432 since going 0 for 12 to start the season, allowing him to settle into the lineup as the Angels navigate injuries with Logan O’Hoppe (torn labrum) and Chad Wallach (concussion).

“It was a slow start, but he wasn’t getting much consistent playing time,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. “It’s tough when you’re here in that role and then kind of make an impression, if you will. Logan carried the load for most of it there those first few weeks until he was hurt, and now Thaissy’s getting his chance. I couldn’t be more happy for him, the way he’s handled it and gone about his business.”

The Angels have relied on Thaiss as their starter after he played just four times in the first 15 games, and he responded to the call with five multi-hit performances in his past 15 games, including a two-hit night Friday that boosted his season average to .327.

“It feels good,” Thaiss said. “Anything I can do to help this team win and put together good at-bats, get out there and get on base for the hitters we have in this lineup. Not trying to do any damage or anything like that because of how deep our lineup is. It’s kind of just a passing-the-baton kind of thing.”

He’s had an opportunity to show the progress he’s made at the position after going almost five years without playing it.

Thaiss was a catcher with Virginia prior to being drafted in 2016, but he didn’t pick the position up again until he was with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2021.

After making his major-league debut at catcher last season, Thaiss – who mainly played third base, first base and outfield in the big leagues prior to 2022 – has played exclusively at catcher and designated hitter this season.

“He’s done a heck of a job behind the plate defensively,” Nevin said. “It’s gotten to the point where the pitchers really feel comfortable with him. I think that’s going to start showing in the results with our pitchers, too.

“He’s such a student of it. He works so hard to study it, game planning and everything, and he follows it so well. He creates his own moments really well. Love having him back there.”

SHOHEI AND CATCHER INTERFERENCES

Shohei Ohtani drew his fifth catcher interference of the season Friday in the fifth inning when he hit the glove of Guardians catcher Sam Gallagher mid-swing.

Ohtani has five catcher interferences this season. No other MLB player has more than two.

Nevin believes the quirky stat has come as a result of Ohtani standing back in the box to give him more time to swing – and give himself a higher probability of making contact.

“It’s his bat path,” Nevin said. “He loves to let the ball get deep, and he knows he can get balls deep in the contact space. If a catcher gets too close, it’s just part of it. He knows he can foul balls off back there. He’s not trying to hit the catcher, obviously, but he knows if he can get a piece of the bat on it, it can serve an at-bat.”

WALSH IN TRIPLE-A

First baseman Jared Walsh played the first game of his rehab assignment in Triple-A on Friday, going 0 for 2 with two walks.

Nevin said Walsh will play five or six innings again Saturday and see how he feels after the weekend before judging how many more games he’ll need before joining the team.

“He felt great,” Nevin said. “He did say his timing was way off, but (I said), ‘Yeah, you haven’t played baseball in a long time.’ That’s the least of our worries. He came out feeling great and he woke up feeling great.”

AROUND THE BASES

Nevin said catcher Chad Wallach (concussion) has a “good chance” to come off the 7-day injured list Monday when the Angels start their next series in Baltimore. …

Top prospect Jo Adell is hitting .290 with a .390 on-base percentage and has totaled 13 home runs, which leads the Pacific Coast League. Nevin called Adell’s work “outstanding.” …

UP NEXT

Angels (LHP Patrick Sandoval, 3-1, 3.41 ERA) at Guardians (RHP Tanner Bibee, 1-1, 4.30 ERA), 8:35 a.m. Sunday, Peacock, 830 AM
