Roots can grow shallow or deep, depending on the tree species and the soil conditions. Ficus trees for example have invasive...

Boys tennis is a spring sport, and early-season matches are sometimes canceled due to rain. “They’re both frustrating,” Lenaway said. Lenaway noted that matches can be canceled due to heat pr...
At 8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 24, Raul Ramirez, 63, who has been a Fallbrook resident for over 20 years, was traveling home northbound on the 15 freeway and suddenly heard a loud, "POP!"

His truck, completely loaded down with all his tools and...
