Marina doubles team repeat bid ends in CIF Individuals boys' tennis semifinals
CLAREMONT — Marina High senior Trevor Nguyen and junior David Tran helped orchestrate a historic season for the boys' tennis team. The Vikings advanced to their first CIF championship match in program history. Individually, Nguyen and Tran were not quite able to repeat as the best doubles team in the CIF Southern Section. They lost to the top-seeded JSerra duo of Brady Schaefgen and Riley Anson, 6-3, 7-5, in the semifinals of the CIF Individuals tournament on Thursday morning at Biszantz Family Tennis Center in Claremont. 'I think we all played well this year, us and our team,' Tran said. 'We came really close. The Ojai final, that could have gone either way, and also the team final. We all played really well, got really close. We just wish we could have pulled it through, winning.' Nguyen, the powerful left-hander, exits as possibly the most accomplished tennis player in school history, coach Chuck Kingman said, at least on par with 2023 graduate Mika Ikemori on the girls' side. Nguyen is attending UC San Diego next year and hopes to walk on to the men's tennis team there. Nguyen and Tran, the Sunset League champions, started well against Trinity League champions Schaefgen and Anson. The defending CIF doubles champions from Marina quickly earned a 3-0 lead in the first set. But the JSerra tandem ran off six straight games to capture the set. 'We started slow, but they were also playing unbelievable for the first three games,' Anson said. 'Everything was working. After 0-3, I think we just slowed our game down a little bit, made the right shots. Didn't go for anything flashy, just played basic doubles and played the right high-percentage shots. 'I played Trevor previously, and I know he's a monster at the net. The plan was just to try to keep it away from him, extend the points and try to have us attack the net and finish.' The second set stayed on serve until the very end. Serving to stay in the match at 4-5, Tran held in a game that went to three deuces. Schaefgen then quickly held serve at love himself, putting the pressure back on Marina. Nguyen went up 30-love on his serve, but JSerra rallied to capture the game and the match. A good return by Anson on match point forced Nguyen's subsequent shot long. JSerra's duo had its serve broken just once all match. 'Credit to our guys, they hung in there and didn't get disillusioned and batted,' Kingman said. 'And all credit to Riley and his partner, they played really well from the third game on. They never had any lapses. Our guys never really got a look at anything. They served well, they returned well, our guys just never quite got a look.' Nguyen and Tran got to the CIF semifinals with a pair of wins Wednesday, beating a team from University in the round of 16 and a team from Palos Verdes in the quarterfinals. In two years together as a doubles team, they advanced to at least the semifinals twice at both the prestigious Ojai Tournament and the CIF Individuals tournament. 'I'm really proud of what we've achieved over my career,' Nguyen said. 'I'm sad that this is my last chance. We came so close. We got to the finals of Ojai, the [team] finals of CIF and the semifinals of this tournament. It's just kind of sad that we couldn't pull it through with all of those chances.' Edison's Dylan Trinh and Kai Stolaruk were the other local players to advance to the final stages of the tournament. Trinh and Stolaruk, the Sunset League runners up, fell to Langston Walter-Wu and Humam Alajeely of University 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16.

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge man was arrested after being accused of helping an escaped inmate found in Baton Rouge.

After discovering the key, investigators met with staff at the Super 6 Inn and learned that the room was reserved under the name Vi Duc Nguyen, 44. Video surveillance confirmed Nguyen reserved the room on May 24, around 9:30 p.m., with cash. Footage also shows Nguyen driving his Toyota Rav4 around the back of the building.

Boards move to sanction Iowans licensed through error or fraud
The Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing administers and oversees many of Iowa's state licensing boards. (Photo courtesy of Getty Images; logo courtesy the State of Iowa) An Iowa woman appears to have procured her barbering and cosmetology license through fraud, according to state records. Iowa Board of Barbering and Cosmetology recently reached an agreement with Suong Ngoc Nguyen to have Nguyen surrender her cosmetology license. While the agreement does not specify any allegation of misconduct by Nguyen, the charges against her reference administrative rules that are related to procuring a license through fraud, possibly by filing with the board 'any false or forged diploma, certificate, affidavit, identification or qualification.' The agreement suggests the board granted Nguyen a license to work in Iowa four years ago, in 2021, one day after she provided the board with evidence that she was licensed in California. The available board documents do not indicate where Nguyen has worked but suggest she may have lived in Boone at one time. The agreement to have Nguyen surrender her license has little practical effect since board records indicate the license expired in March 2023. According to the board, Nguyen can apply for a new Iowa license in one year. Other recent actions by Iowa licensing authorities include: — The Iowa Board of Massage Therapy has notified Huimin Zhao that it intends to rescind Zhao's massage-therapy license, which the board says it granted only because of a clerical error on its part. According to board documents, Zhao applied for a license in December 2024 and listed JK Holy Career Institute as the school where he completed his education in 2021. However, the institute was decertified in 2019. Despite that, the board responded to Zhao's application in January 2025 by issuing him a license to work in Iowa. The available board documents give no indication as to where Zhao worked in Iowa after his license was issued. — The Iowa Board of Pharmacy reached an agreement with Carl Markley of Ames, who is currently serving a life sentence for sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of children and adults, to surrender his Controlled Substances Act registration. Prosecutors alleged Markley used fraud and coercion to cause dozens of teenage boys and young men, as well as a few young women, to engage in sex acts in exchange for money or other benefits. Markley was a nurse practitioner in Ames and owned several businesses. He surrendered his Iowa nursing license in May 2023.

New book honors 50th anniversary of Southeast Asian refugees arriving in WA
'New Land: Southeast Asian Refugees Finding Home in Washington' written by John C. Hughes and Edward Echtle Jr. (Photo Courtesy of the Secretary of State) Fifty years ago, Washington welcomed the first of thousands of Southeast Asian refugees fleeing war and conflict in their home countries. A new book captures 15 stories of first-generation refugees and their descendants and how they rebuilt their lives in Washington state. 'New Land: Southeast Asian Refugees Finding Home in Washington' touches upon topics such as the challenges people faced fleeing war and oppression, the heartache of displacement, the process of building new lives in the state, and hopes for a more just and inclusive future. It was written by John C. Hughes, chief historian for the Office of the Secretary of State, and Edward Echtle Jr., a historian for Legacy Washington. ''New Land' provides a window into the origins of Washington's diverse Southeast Asian communities through the stories of individuals,' Echtle said in a statement. 'Arriving as refugees, many endured profound hardships as they started over.' After the fall of Saigon, on April 30, 1975, at the end of the Vietnam War, the first 34 refugees arrived at Camp Murray, the National Guard Headquarters near Tacoma, on May 20, 1975. By the end of that year, roughly 4,000 refugees had settled in Washington with the assistance of state agencies, community organizations, and churches. Evans Nguyen was one of the 34 families who fled their home country 'with only the clothes on their backs' and arrived in Washington on May 20, 1975. He said his family, whose story is featured in the book, had to choose between leaving their home country behind or risking getting captured and being sent to a concentration camp. After deciding to flee, he describes how he still remembers the generosity he received from people in the state. 'I remember my mom and my dad, particularly we're having difficulties setting up doctors' appointments, getting jobs, buying houses, even grocery shopping,' Nguyen said. 'There were people to help us.' Nguyen is now an engineer who is working to help cure cancer. 'If we didn't escape back then, I really can't imagine where we'd be,' he said. Kayla Somvilay, originally from Laos, came to the U.S. in 1981 when she was 5 years old. 'As a child holding tightly to my family, as we left behind our homeland, seeking refuge from the war in hope of a better life,' Somvilay said. 'Like so many Lao and Southeast Asian families, we arrived with almost nothing except the will to survive and the dream of the future.' She said the extraordinary resilience her community has shown is living proof that out of displacement comes not only survival but also strength, unity, and leadership. Savong Lam is a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia. She was 3 years old when she was carried to the Thai border by her aunt to flee. To Lam, the book is more than just ink and paper but rather represents the memory, courage, and spirit of her community. She said the seeds of the Khmer heritage were 'watered by tears, of loss, and nurtured by sunlight of hope.' 'Look all around you, see how those seeds have blossomed, how our communities have flourished,' Lam said.
