My father, Francisco Ornelas Salazar, passed away Sunday night. He lived to be 90 years old and I could not have been prouder to be his son. As a father/ husband, my Dad worked in the fields and never complained. I’ll do my best to carry on the Salazar name ..

Antoine Latimer may have been a campus supervisor at Channel Islands High School, but he was also a mentor & someone students could trust. Whether it was dancing a jig at Prom or fist-pumping someone, Antoine brought a smile to everyone’s face. He was extraordinary. RIP, Antoine.
