Oxnard police arrest man after gun incident
Oxnard police arrested a 23-year-old man Wednesday on suspicion of possessing an unregistered and loaded handgun, carrying a concealed firearm in public and a gang allegation. Juan Diego Avalos was arrested after police searched his home Wednesday as part of an investigation that began last month. Oxnard police went to the Wagon Wheel Bowling Alley along the 2800 block of Wagon Wheel Road on Feb. 21 after receiving a report that a man was carrying a gun under his clothing.

A new report says teachers, public employee unions, Indian tribes and corporations are among the biggest contributors to California political campaigns. The report, titled "Big Money Talks," was released Wednesday by the California Fair Political Practices Commission.

Hueneme High, Oxnard High
losing their principals this year
Several top administrators in the Oxnard Union High School District, including principals at Hueneme and Oxnard high schools, have announced they will leave their posts when the school year ends, while more than a dozen teachers said they plan to retire. Hueneme Principal Adrian Palazuelos submitted a letter of resignation to district officials Tuesday. A former Hueneme High student himself, Palazuelos became principal in July 2008. His last day will be June 30, said Robert “Rocky” Valles, assistant superintendent of human resources. Meanwhile, Oxnard High School Principal James Edwards told district officials last week that he plans to retire by the end of the school year. Edwards also failed to return calls today. Edwards held various administrative positions in the district, including assistant principal at Channel Islands and Pacifica high schools, before he took over as Oxnard High’s top administrator in 2001.

New national math, English standards drafted
Math and English instruction in the United States moved a step closer to uniform -- and more rigorous -- standards Wednesday as draft new national guidelines were released. Supporters of the project led by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers hope the lists of things kids should learn at each grade level will replace a patchwork of systems across the country. The effort is expected to lead to standardization of textbooks and testing and make learning easier for students who move from state to state.
