Petition Filed to
Repeal Utility
Users Tax
By Jason KUROSU
A petition to repeal the city of
Glendale’s Utility Users Tax has
received the requisite number
of signatures to be considered
for approval or placement on a
municipal ballot measure, city
officials said Tuesday.
The issue came before the
Glendale City Council Tuesday
night when the petition was
certified, having received more
than 2,000 signatures, well
over the required mark of 1,366
signatures.
The Utility Users Tax is
composed of taxes on electricity,
gas, water, telecommunications
and video. According to city
officials, the tax makes up 15.2%
of the city’s budget or about $28
million.
The measure would be known
as “Stop the Utility Users Tax.”
The text of the proposed
measure reads, “Whereas, the
people of the city of Glendale
find and declare that federal,
state and local taxation has
reached confiscatory levels;
that unrestrained spending and

The annual
Thanksgiving Day

has been a foothill
tradition for 22 years.

P
repare your Thanksgiving appetites early
with the 22nd Annual
Thanksgiving Day Run & Food
Drive in La Cañada, an early
morning, community-wide event
that combines fitness with a
charitable cause.
Starting at 8:30 a.m. at La
Cañada’s Memorial Park, participating runners of all ages and
abilities will take off on a 5K run/
walk, in what has become an annual tradition on a holiday typically associated with much more
sedentary activities.
Immediately after the 5K, a
one mile kids’ run for children 12
and under will start at around
9:30 a.m. Parents are encouraged to run with their kids if they
like at no additional cost. Kids in
strollers and pets on a leash may
also take part (or be along for the
ride) in either run.
An award ceremony will cap off

Hundreds are expected to turn out for the annual Thanksgiving Day Run & Food Drive. The Run is on

the festivities, rewarding the first
runners to cross the finish line
recognizing both genders and a
variety of age groups.
Of course, though, winning is
not the goal of this holiday event,
which is also being organized as
usual between the Community
Center of La Cañada Flintridge
and the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station.
Many will think with their
stomachs on Thanksgiving Day,
but it is the hunger of those in
need that will be the real focus.
The sheriff’s station will have
trucks at the park to gather donations of non-perishable food
items and will distribute the donations to families in need, said

Candlelight Vigil Held in Remembrance of Joe Gatto
By Charly SHELTON

Assemblyman Mike Gatto, with his wife Danielle, leads the procession in remembrance of his father who
was murdered two years ago. The investigation is ongoing.
Two years ago, Joe Gatto was murdered.
November 12 was the anniversary of his
death and for his family and friends, the
day is marked with remembrance and
tribute for this member of the community.
On this year’s anniversary, a candlelight
vigil was held at the Tesla pocket park in
Los Feliz. The vigil began at the park with
dozens of people whose life Joe touched
personally and, with candles burning in
hand, they processed down the street to
Joe’s house, where he was the victim of a
gunshot wound during a home invasion.
“Two years ago today, right about this
time of night, my father was likely drawing
his last breaths,” said Assemblyman Mike
Gatto, Joe’s son. “None of us know how long
we’re going to have on this planet, and we
certainly don’t know how long others will
have. But there’s one thing that I think
everybody here can agree on and that is
that my father was taken too soon.”

Two years later and the case still remains
unsolved. Assemblyman Gatto informed
the crowd with the latest news in the case,
asking once again for the community’s help
in finding his father’s killer. They know
that there is a witness who got a close look
at the person of interest, but has yet to
come forward. At this point, Gatto said, the
family and the police are more than willing
to follow the smallest lead. For the family
and friends of the family, all they want is
closure and justice.
“I have been associated with Mother of
Good Council parish off and on since 1972,
and Joe was a faithful parishioner there,”
said Father James Mott, from Our Mother
of Good Council Church. “When I returned
eight years ago, I was surprised to see that
Joe was there, every morning, in the same
pew in the church, praying. A good man, I
ask you to remember him in your prayers
and help to bring whoever murdered him
to justice so that person may eventually

A Generous Spirit
INSIDE
Just one week away is Thanksgiving, the
start of the holiday season (despite Christmas music already playing on some radio stations!). While many are eager to leap frog over
the Thanksgiving holiday, I raise a hand and
say, “Wait! Slow down! Christmas will be here
before you know it! Let’s take a minute to give
thanks for all that we have.”
Because we do have a lot with many of us
benefitting from the spirit of generosity that
can be found across our entire community. This
spirit was evident all around the Crescenta
Valley on Saturday. From the Council of the
Blind Mutt Strut at CV Park to the annual
holiday boutiques for Prom Plus and Gethsemane Church to the La Crescenta Woman’s
Club antiques and collectibles event, volunteers and donors made sure that these events
took place by helping these nonprofit organizations. I was at the Prom Plus holiday boutique,
one of Prom Plus’ largest fundraisers, and was
delighted to see hundreds of shoppers stop by
St. Luke’s of the Mountains (which donated
the use of the property for the day). The money
raised will go toward the main event in May
when more than 450 students are expected at
the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA (which donates
its property) for Prom Plus. I was also excited
to learn at the boutique that local bakery La
Fleur (on Honolulu Avenue) will be donating
a portion of its proceeds from Thanksgiving
pie sales to Prom Plus! (I’ve already ordered
mine.) Why? Because they want to lend a hand.
And they’re not unusual. Shannon Pondella,
who owns Surface Fitness in Sparr Heights,
collects shoes from her customers every No-
vember then donates them to Souls for Soles.
This year, the folks at Surface Fitness are
stretching their “giving muscles” further by
adopting Hillsides School and Learning Center
in Pasadena and raising money to purchase
physical activity equipment for the school’s
physical education program. Their main fundraiser is an open house tonight, Thursday Nov.
19 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. They are asking
folks to stop by Surface Fitness Inc. (3470
Ocean View Blvd.) and take part in a raffle
or perhaps just make a donation. All proceeds
will go towards the purchase of physical activity equipment.
Mary O’Keefe, who runs the Fire House
Youth Center, received a much-needed check
from the local Kiwanis on behalf of the Fire
House to purchase food for the 70-plus kids
she and fellow volunteers Tracy Fisher and
Julie Dowse feed every week. Many people
are surprised to learn that the Fire House is
self-sustaining; it survives on donations. The
money given will take care of a few weeks of
meals for these kids.
These are just a few examples of the many
people and organizations that step up when the
call for “Help!” is made. I look forward in the
upcoming months to share more.

Weatherin the
Foothills
“We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic
features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with
its living and decaying trees, the thunder-cloud and the rain.”
~ Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862
Waiting for the rain. My rain gauge
remains at exactly 4.96 inches of rain,
leaf-free and waiting to receive. The
threatening clouds of earlier this
week failed to bring a drop of measurable rain to our area. We were slightly
off the main storm track, but still got
the impact of 40-degree temperatures
backed by strong NW winds. Cold! So
what about El Niño? And is it too soon
to start building a large capacity ship?
Hopefully the plans have been approved and are in the hands of a good
local (and fast-working) shipwright.
Based on November’s scant rainfall,
many still doubt El Niño’s probable
impact. I’ve paid close attention to
Bill Patzert – climatologist at NASA’s
JPL in La Cañada Flintridge – over
the past months. After the 2014-15 El
Niño “big flop,” Dr. Patzert’s predictions have understandably erred on
the safe or conservative side. In May,
with optimism, he indicated signs
were encouraging. The statement was
tempered; it was still too early to declare El Niño a given. A lot can change
in a few months … and that it did.
Come summer conditions ripened;
equatorial waters continued to warm
and the trade winds began to shift.
El Niño fervor kicked into high gear
among climatologists, meteorologists,
oceanographers and weather-watchers alike. Front row seats were filled,
waiting for the show to begin. If an
extra seat is available, the “Prophet
of California climate” Bill Patzert will
no doubt be interested! Why? In his
own words, “This could be among the
strongest El Niños … dating back to
1950.”
It’s now November. The wait time
is less as the event grows. Front-row
and center spectator (Bill) comments,
“This El Niño is larger, it’s more intense, it’s more embedded in the ocean
… It’s a done deal.” The curtain time
for a typical El Niño is the first of the
year. Normally its duration is three
months. Nothing is certain this time.
For the time being, enjoy the warm
and very dry weather. Through the
weekend, Santa Ana winds and temperatures pushing 90 degrees are
expected across the foothills. Come
Monday an on-shore/off-shore wind
battle takes over. A consensus of meteorological opinions predicts cold
conditions to prevail. The Thanksgiving Day weather-cornucopia is
overflowing. A chance for rain, winds,
blue skies, clouds are all in the mix.
No matter the final content combination, I promise it will be cold. Perfect
Thanksgiving weather.
Blessings and safe travels to all.

Saturday’s
California Council of
the Blind Mutt Strut
was a success, according to
organizers.
“It was a great day,” said
Donna Pomerantz, Mutt Strut
organizer.
The event took months of
planning, from creating the
2K/5K track to organizing an
army of volunteers. A portion
of the proceeds from the Mutt
Strut will be used by City
of Hope, one of the foremost
medical research institutions
in the nation, to conduct
cancer prevention and diabetes
research. The funds will also
be used to support Braille
literacy, college and vocational
scholarships, technology loans,
The Blind Californian quarterly
magazine, training conferences
and conventions, Employment
Assistance programs, crisis
intervention, family education,
awareness and peer support,
and community outreach
through public education.

Rabinov Appointed
to Public Land Board
By Jason KUROSU
Local resident and Crescenta
Valley Town Council member
Desiree Rabinov was recently
appointed to the California
Advisory Board for the Trust
for Public Land, a nonprofit
organization that seeks to
establish recreational parks and
open space across the nation.
Rabinov was appointed in
October for a three-year term,
joining 17 others on the board
who provide input on the state
program’s overall goals and
priorities, according to the Trust
for Public Land.
“I have a strong passion for
open space and this affords me
an opportunity to share the
vision and values of the Trust
for Public Land in communities
that can benefit from parks,
green schools, and open space
where they can enjoy all the
natural wonders of the outdoors
with their family and friends,”
said Rabinov in a press release.
According to Gina Fromer,
the Trust for Public Land’s
California State director, the
organization has protected
more than 3 million acres
and established 5,200 park
and
conservation
projects
nationwide since its inception
in 1972.
“As soon as we met, it was
magic,” Fromer said of Rabinov,
whom she called “one of the
most passionate people I’ve met
in a long time.”
Fromer noted a common
interest in providing access
to open space, particularly
for people living in many Los
Angeles county areas that lack
such resources.
“Eighty percent of people live
in cities and without access to
park space,” said Fromer, who
described the organization’s
overall goal as “connecting
people to nature” and “ensuring
that everyone has access to
parks and open space.”
Among the Trust for Public
Land’s current projects in
the L.A. County area are the
preservation and protection
of wildlife and open space in
the San Gabriel Mountains
and the Green Alleys project,
which installs environmentallyfriendly infrastructure such
as
drought-tolerant
plants
and permeable pavement for
the reduction of flooding and
absorption of stormwater in L.A.
County alleyways.

signatures needed are accounted
for, only 26% of the signees are
from GUSD, while 44% are from

from districts around the L.A. area

White, “is that there really is a
tremendous need for this program

districts.”

into question, as the ISLA board
has secured funding from outside
groups like Turner-Aggasi Charter
School Facilities Fund.
“Why not?” asked Gwendolina
Mahler, GUSD parent and speaker
in favor of the charter. “We’re not
asking for a facility, we’re not
asking for money, we’re not asking
for anything. We are asking for
approval and oversight. And we
want to work with you. Please, let
us.”
A concern was raised by many
speakers in opposition that this
was “privatizing public education,”
working with investment groups
like Turner-Agassi to get funds for
start-up and operations.
“I feel charter schools are
the resegregation of our public
schools,” said Ingrid Gunnell,
mother of GUSD students and a
GUSD graduate herself. “Many
years ago the Supreme Court ruled
in Brown v. Board of Education that
separate is not equal. I hope that
the school board stands up with
integrity and denies this charter
school because I do not feel that our
schools should be resegregated on
racial or socioeconomic grounds.”
The voices in favor defended
the point that this will be a public
school and open to all.
“Have you seen our school
lunches with Kraft and all that?
What they’ve made off our schools?
For their lunch? It just doesn’t
make sense,” said Michael Pecchia,
father of LAUSD students who
hope to apply for ISLA. “So I look to
you as an opportunity for children,
just another opportunity of choice.
We are a melting pot. If we stick
with one thing, we don’t teach our
children to think outside the box.”
If the charter school’s petition is
denied by GUSD, according to the
presentation, “We will continue to
move forward to establish
ISLA.”

Celebrating Veterans’ Service at American Legion Hall
By Mary O’KEEFE
Veterans Day events in La
Crescenta did not end with the
ceremony honoring the World War
II veterans at Two Strike Park but
continued with the Crescenta Valley
Chamber of Commerce mixer later
that evening.
Held at American Legion Hall
Post 288, several of the WWII
veterans who had attended the
Two Strike Park event earlier in
the day enjoyed dinner and another
presentation in their honor. The
veterans at the American Legion
also shared Challenge Coins
specially designed for WWII vets.
“It feels great,” said WWII veteran
Charles Tucker of the recognition.
“But you know, maybe the present
generation doesn’t fully understand
how unified the country was in
WWII. Everyone worked [together];
women went to work in the factories.
War was won in Detroit as well as
on the battlefield.”

City of Glendale Prepares Residents for El Niño
By Mary O’KEEFE
Like most Californians, Crescenta
Valley and Glendale residents are
preparing for El Niño. The City of
Glendale has developed a website
that will hopefully answer questions
and concerns of the predicted
upcoming weather change.
El Niño is defined as abovenormal sea surface temperatures
in the area of the equator in the
Pacific Ocean. It is expected that
this El Niño could rank among
the top three strongest since 1950,
according to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
On the city website is information
from NOAA and other agencies on
the subject of El Niño including
where to find sandbags and even
how to fill them properly.
“It provides all of our emergency
notifications and social media
[information],”
said
Brandy
Villanueva,
Glendale
Fire
Department public information
officer.
It also features information for
the communities of Burbank and
Pasadena with resources including
city and some Los Angeles County
agencies.
“Our number one goal was to have
a one stop shopping [area] for all of
these agencies,” Villanueva said.
The idea behind the website
was to gather information from
the different cities including fire,
police, public information officers
and city managers and to share
that information with residents in
the fastest possible way, Villanueva
said.
Glendale staff has planned a
series of community meetings to
help residents navigate the website.
One of those meetings will be held
at the Center for Spiritual Living,
4845 Dunsmore Ave. The date
and time have yet to be finalized,
according to Villa.
To explore the city’s website, visit
www.elninoready.org.
The city did not include
information for the county portion
of La Crescenta. That information
can be found at www.lacounty.gov.

Obituary

Boreham
November 19, 2015 • Page 7
www.cvweekly.com
Obituary
Huttner Printing Company in
Burbank.
In 1984, he started his own
printing sales company, which
he successfully ran until retiring in
2008. Two favorite clients included
Magic Mountain and the LA Zoo.
Ken was a member of the La
Crescenta Presbyterian Church,
where he served as an elder and
most recently led the Cornerstone
Crew, which was responsible for
beautifying and maintaining the
gardens on church grounds. In
addition to his dedication to the
church and his love for gardening,
Ken’s interests included a passion
for all sports, including coaching
his son’s basketball and baseball
teams. He was a dedicated
Chicago Cubs fan who cheered
the team on during their latest
playoff run.
He also enjoyed camping with
his family and church friends.
He had a great sense of humor
whose repertoire of one-liners
was renown throughout the
community. He loved to make
people laugh. Ken was always
encouraging to others and was
a great inspiration to many as he
kept active even after having one
leg amputated five years ago.
A memorial service has been
scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5 at 2
p.m. at La Crescenta Presbyterian
Church, 2902 Montrose Ave.,
Glendale/La Crescenta 91214. All
are welcome. The family asks that
in lieu of flowers any contributions
be made to the Cornerstone Crew
at La Crescenta Presbyterian
Church.

April 25, 1934 – Nov. 6, 2015
James Fishback Boreham, 85,
passed away on Sunday, Sept. 20
at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena
following a brief illness.
The youngest of three brothers,
Jim was born to Roland and Anita
Boreham on an extended business
trip in Ohio. Soon afterwards, the
family moved back to their home
in Beverly Hills. After graduating
from Beverly Hills High School in
1948, he attended USC, where he
met his future wife Helen. He joined
the Navy in 1950 and served in the
Korean War. While on leave in 1952,
Jim and Helen married. Back at sea,
Jim got the exciting news that he
was going to be a father. He met
his son, Greg, at age 6 months after
returning from Korea.
Following his four-year stint in
the Navy, Jim finished his electrical
engineering degree at UCLA and
was promptly hired by JPL when
space exploration was in its infancy.
One of his early projects at JPL was
designing and building the high
gain antennas that transmitted the
first photos of the moon and Mars.
Jim also helped with advanced
planning for the Voyager Mission to
the outer planets and supervised
RF component advanced
development. He retired from JPL
in 1985.
Jim and Helen had two daughters
following the birth of their son. They
bought their first home in Tujunga,
moved to La Crescenta where
the children attended school and
eventually on to La Cañada. They
were known to have a passion for
animals and often brought home
stray dogs.
Jim and Helen enjoyed overseas
travel and time at their Lake
Arrowhead home. Jim was also
an avid golfer and belonged to
Oakmont Country Club and Lake
Arrowhead Country Club. He was
also a member of Seafarers at La
Cañada Presbyterian Church.
Jim survived his wife, Helen, who
passed away in 2006. They were
married 54 years. He leaves behind
his son Greg Boreham and his
wife Nancy Fairchild; his daughter
Linda Yaussi and her husband Paul
Yaussi; daughter Carrie Grochow
and her husband Tim Grochow;
10 grandchildren, four great
grandchildren and many close
friends.
Jim taught his children and
grandchildren the value of charity.
Some of his favorite philanthropies
included the Pasadena Humane
Society, Los Altos Auxiliary and Union
Station, Pasadena.
A memorial service celebrating
his life will be on Nov. 21 at 11:30
a.m. at La Cañada Presbyterian
Church, 626 Foothill Blvd., with a
reception to follow in Fellowship Hall.
Kenneth A. Thomas passed away
Nov. 6 as a result of complications
from a stroke. He was 81 years old.
Ken was born April 25, 1934 in
Los Angeles, the son of Britt and
Florence Thomas. He is survived
by his wife of 56 years Jackie; sister
Suzanne; son Mark; daughter Lori;
and five grandchildren.
Ken grew up in south Los
Angeles. His family moved to
Westchester when he was 10 years
old. He graduated from Manual
Arts High School in 1951. He also
attended Harbor Junior College,
where he developed an interest
in the printing business. Ken served
in the Army between 1954 and
1957, where he was stationed in
Germany and worked for the
Stars and Stripes newspaper. He
resumed his career in the printing
industry as a lithographer at G.R.
RUN from Cover
Maureen
Bond,
executive
director at the Community
Center of La Cañada Flintridge.
Food donated during last
year’s event went to more than
150 needy families.
Food donations will be accepted
up to the day of the run, as well
as monetary donations towards
the food drive or the community
center.
Sen. Carol Liu and Capt. Bill
Song of the CV Sheriff ’s Station
will also attend, said Bond.
She encouraged any and all to
take part in the run, reiterating
that there is “no pressure” for
those considering participation.
Overall, Bond expressed joy
about the continuing tradition
that the Thanksgiving Day run
has built within the community,
with sometimes “three or four
generations of many families
taking part.”
Tickets for the 5K Run/Walk
are $35 and kids’ mile tickets
are $15 by Nov. 25; $40 and $20
respectively on the day of the
event. Registration will be open

said Assemblyman Gatto. “If his
life was a quilt, it would be
woven together with the panels
of the thousands of people he
touched over his 78 years here.
When someone is taken from a
community like this, it rips that
fabric asunder and nothing can
repair it, nothing can make the
grieving easier, nothing can fill
the void in our lives. But all of
us, everybody [who came out for
the vigil] can ensure that the
departed are not forgotten.”

forgiveness that he or she needs.”
Seeing the turnout at the
candlelight vigil, it is obvious how
many people’s lives were touched
by Joe Gatto, through his life and
family. The investigation is still
ongoing and with the network of
support through the community,
the family hopes that there will
be a break in the case soon. And
although Joe has been gone for
two years now, he will not be
forgotten.

Supporting Children Through
Operation Christmas Child
Rosemont
Middle
School’s
Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)
Club is sponsoring a collection
of items to help other children
across the globe through Operation
Christmas Child.
“This is our third year [collecting
items],” said Susan Stefun, mentor
of RAK.
Stefun’s
church,
Crescenta
Valley Church, collects boxes for
the organization. The items that
are collected at Rosemont will be
taken to the church for distribution
through Operation Christmas
Child.
So far the school is a little behind
on its collection. There is a donation
box in the Rosemont office, which
has been emptied twice as of
Wednesday morning.
“We have enough to fill about 10
shoeboxes,” Stefun said. “In the
past we had enough to fill about 40.”
However the school started
collecting the items a little later this
year than in the past. The shoeboxes
are filled with items designated for
boys or girl in the age range from 2
to 4 years old, 5 to 9 years old and
10 to 14 years old. The boxes are
mailed, at the cost of $7 each, to
countries throughout the world for
distribution to children in need.
Samaritan’s Purse is the sponsor
of the operation, which began over
30 years ago.

Shoppers Get a Jump on
Holiday Shopping at the
Prom Plus Boutique
Shoppers were able to check off
many gifts from their holiday list
at the Annual Prom Plus Boutique
on Saturday at St. Luke’s of the
Mountains. Over 30 vendors with
offerings from jelly to self-defense
items filled the inside of the
church’s Sadler Hall, courtyard
and lawn. Music was provided by
the Crescenta Valley High School
jazz band, the CVHS Charismatics
a’capella group and musicians
from Rosemont Middle School.
The holiday boutique is one of the
non-profit organization’s largest
fundraisers of the year. Prom Plus
was established over 20 years
ago after a Crescenta Valley High
School senior was shot and killed
at an unsupervised after prom
party. A grassroots effort fueled by
parents and community members
and supported by local businesses
and the Glendale Unified School
District created Prom Plus.
The Prom Plus supervised after
prom party runs from midnight
to 5 a.m. The event is located at
the Crescenta Cañada YMCA, a
longtime partner with Prom Plus,
and offers CVHS seniors and their
guests several games including a
mechanical bull, rock climbing wall,
zip line, laser tag, a full casino and
much more.
The event costs the organization
about $25,000 each year. Last
year Prom Plus began offering
scholarships for members of the
Prom Plus Club, the youth arm
of the organization. Prom Plus
Club was founded about six years
ago by two CVHS students as a
way to raise awareness for Prom
Plus and has become a strong
community service club whose
student members accumulate
from 2700 to 3000 service hours a
year. This year’s boutique raised
approximately $2,000.

California Roads and Rail: One Step
Closer to Being an Energy Source
Shortly after being elected, I
had a conversation with a friend
who had just returned from Israel.
Expecting to hear emotional
descriptions of religious sites, I
was surprised to hear my friend
rave instead about a road that
produced energy.
After researching the issue, I
found that engineers in Israel,
Italy and Japan had successfully
installed piezoelectric sensors
underneath
roadways
and
railways. The technique uses
tiny devices that look like watch
batteries, embedded in pavement,
to recapture energy that would be
otherwise lost as vehicles rumble
along. The energy from the tiny
vibrations can be converted into
electricity to power roadside
lights, call boxes and neighboring
communities.
In 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown
vetoed AB 306, my bill that
would have implemented two
piezoelectric-pilot projects on
California freeways. Undeterred,
I asked the California Energy
Commission (CEC) to study the
issue. Last year, the CEC released
preliminary research on the
feasibility of using piezoelectric
material in California roadways
to capture wasted energy from
cars. And just two months ago, the
CEC held a workshop to discuss
ways to begin implementing this
technology in California.
The CEC study found that
piezoelectric
energy
could
produce electricity at “between
$0.08-$0.20” per kilowatt hour,
making it cheaper than almost
all current technologies. This
is
particularly
impressive,
especially considering that this
energy is currently uncaptured
and, therefore, wasted.
Piezoelectric technology has
been used for years in sonar and
touchscreen phones. In 2009, the
East Japan Railway Company
installed piezoelectric flooring in
its Tokyo railway station, using
the energy generated by passing
pedestrians to power all displays
in the station. Israel has already
placed this technology under
some highways, and Italy has
signed a contract to place the
technology under a stretch of the
Venice-to-Trieste Autostrada. A
dance club in San Francisco has
even piloted the technology under
its dance floor to run its lighting.
I believe it’s time to capture
the energy otherwise lost from
roadside and railway vibrations
and put it to good use.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CALPERS’ Captives
In 1999, one of the most
irresponsible
political
acts
occurred when the California
Public Employees’ Retirement
System (CALPERS) convinced our
state legislature that generous
salary and pension increases
for state union workers could
be financed from investment
earnings and would have no
effect on the taxpayers’ wallets.
CALPERS
actuaries
were
manipulated and full of holes,
but the union-dominated board
adopted the most optimistic
scenario and it was sold to the
state legislature and Democratic
Gov. Gray Davis.
Cities that belong to CALPERS
saw, after 30 years of service, their
fire and police personnel receive
90% of their last year’s salary at
age 50 as their pension for life,
and management receiving 75%
and general employees 60%.
CALPERS also convinced our
politicians to have the taxpayers
guarantee 7.5% return on their
investments.
All the rosy predictions came to
a screeching end with the Great
Recession. Council members did
band-aid fixes plus raised fees and
created new fees on the taxpayers
to pay for the failed investments
of CALPERS. The 90%, 75% and
60% pension structure was never
adjusted back to pre-1999 [rates].
About 16 years ago, 30% of the
general fund paid for the salary
and pension benefits of Glendale’s
police and fire departments.
Today, 80% is required.
Because of failed investments,
CALPERS today is planning
to eliminate risky investments
and replace them with more
secure investments and count
on struggling families, through
increases in fees and taxes, to
pay even more of the generous
CALPERS
union
employees’
salary and pension benefits.
[It’s] time for Glendale citizens
to bite the bullet and pay
CALPERS $1.4 billion and be rid
of this irresponsible and corrupt
pension benefit system. It will
not be easy. Otherwise, we will
continue to be held hostage by
CALPERS for years to come.

The Death of a Young Mother – Part 2
Last week I wrote about
the
unfolding
tragedy
that Lambert and Rose
Vandenberg faced in 1924.
They were a young family, just
starting out, with 3-year-old
daughter Margie and newborn
Beverly, when Rose was
diagnosed with tuberculosis.
She was extremely infectious.
Fearing she would infect her
daughters or husband, she
isolated herself in a tent in the
backyard of their La Habra
home. She could see and hear
her daughters, and they her,
but she couldn’t be near them.
This must have been agony
for the little family. There was
an incident in which 3-yearold Margie snuck into her
mother’s tent and Rose had to
order her to leave.
Being so close to her family
just wasn’t going to work for
Rose. It was harder to take
than being far away, and
dangerous as well. Rose had to
be moved further away.
Even in the ‘20s, TB
sufferers continued to flock
to a variety of sanitariums
and health resorts scattered
along the western base of the
mountains, including in the
Crescenta Valley and Tujunga.
In September 1925, after
several months of Rose living
in a backyard tent, Lambert
located a doctor in Tujunga
willing to take Rose on as a
resident patient. Rose was
moved into a cottage by the
doctor’s home on Pinewood
Avenue.
Each
weekend,
Lambert made the long drive
up from La Habra to see his
wife. He would have driven
up the Verdugo Canyon,
turning left at La Crescenta
and Honolulu in Verdugo
City, and up Tujunga Canyon
Road to Foothill. The children
were allowed to visit just once
in January 1926, and there
are a couple of photos of that
last meeting. In the picture,
Rose sits between her two
daughters on a rock wall, her
arms briefly touching each of
them for the last time.
By April, Rose’s TB had
progressed to the point that
the doctor could no longer
have Rose in his little cottage.
She was beginning to seriously
waste away and at this point
she was probably coughing up
blood. She was moved to the
Tujunga Sanitarium just three
blocks away on Hillhaven,
a block south of Foothill.
Relegated once again to a tent,
she spent her last few weeks
waiting for death under the
oak trees, near a shady canyon
of the Verdugo Mountains.
She would have been able
to hear the music at night
coming from the “Garden of
the Moon,” a popular dance
hall just a block away. The
sanitarium doctors gave Rose
pain-killing opiates to lessen
the chest pain. On a dark
spring night, April 13 at 3:20
in the morning, Rose’s labored,
rasping breath ceased. A griefstricken Lambert buried his
young wife at Forest Lawn in
Glendale.
Now he was faced with hard
choices. Even though he had
the support of the family, he
was now a single father who
still had to make a living.
At the conclusion of Rose’s
funeral, he gave 1-year-old
Beverly to Rose’s older sister
and her husband in Northern
California. He and Margie
moved into the attic of his
parent’s house in Echo Park.
Lambert did well working
for an L.A. oil company, even
through the Depression. The
extended family remained
close, and Margie grew up
cared for mainly by her
grandmother and aunt. Rose,
a happy young mother only
briefly for her two daughters,
became a distant memory for
the broken family.
I picked up this story from
Rose’s granddaughter, Diana
Walstad.
Diana’s
mother
Margie had only mentioned
her mother Rose a couple of
times, relating the story of
sneaking into her tent, and
then being shooed out. Diana
recently unearthed this tragic
and forgotten piece of family
history.
I know this story is maudlin
to the extreme, and I apologize.
But I feel that we must take a
balanced view of our history –
the good and the bad. When
we talk about our founding
industry of sanitariums, we
should remember that our
valley was a place of both hope
and heartbreak for those who
saw this place as their last
chance to live.

News from CV Alliance
Hi, CV!
My best friend’s daughter is
a college junior and a sorority
leader. She told me that today’s
co-eds drink flavored vodka. I
immediately made the leap to
all of the kid-friendly e-liquids
and vape juices inhaled through
e-cigarettes and vaporizers.
Fruits, spices, confections and
sours are popular flavors for
both. Kids are vulnerable to
the glitz and glamour of adult
vices. Punch flavored nicotine
and pb & j flavored vodka are
lures designed to hook them.
I’ve been in Florida so I
don’t know what’s the latest
with Starbucks selling wine.
Many people are concerned
about increased access to
alcohol and/or people who
drink alcohol in a place where
students congregate. Where
my mind jumped is to caffeine.
Why is caffeine, a stimulant
to the central nervous system
that, while it may not be
addictive, may cause physical
dependency, okay for young
people? Again, it’s the sweet
and familiar flavors in an
iced Frappuccino – basically
a milkshake for teens – that
build a new consumer base.
Same goes with energy drinks.
They come in eye-catching
cans favored by the “cool” kids.
And we all know edible
marijuana is sold as candy,
baked
goods
and
teas.
Synthetic marijuana is sold
in colorful packets. Catchy
names for different strains
of both products facilitate
consumption.
What’s a parent to do?
Keep talking to your kids
about ads. If, like me, you’re
watching sports you’ll have
lots of chances to drop some
knowledge on your kids. If
you are drunk on beer, wait.
It’s most important to set good
examples.
Finally, I want to invite you
to our next quarterly Strategic
Partners meeting on Friday,
Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital
Council Rooms, 1812 Verdugo

welcome! It’s a great chance
to learn, to network and to be
with key stakeholders working

substance abuse.
Please like us on Facebook

YOUTH
Scouting for Food – The Next
By Jozette KARAGUOZIAN
The American Legion Hall in La
Crescenta has been working handin-hand with the Scouting for
Food project for numerous years.
This year, the event took place
on Saturday, Nov. 14. Scouting
for Food is when scouts drop off
empty bags to local residences the
first Saturday in November asking
for the bags to be filled with nonperishable items. The following
Saturday, after the bags have been
filled, scouts retrieve them and
then deliver them to corresponding
collection sites. The American
Legion Hall is the collection site
for Troop 288.
At the collection site on Saturday,
Troop 288 scouts, their parents
and community volunteers sorted
the items according to type of food,
then boxed them back up to deliver
to two food banks in the area –
Sue’s Garden in La Crescenta and
the other is the Sunland-Tujunga
Aid Center.
Andy and Cheryl Turner have
helped run this event for many
years. They receive plenty of
feedback directly from the food
banks that receive the donations,
thanking them for their efforts.
“This is our favorite service
project that we do in scouts,” said
Cheryl. “The American Legion
has always given great support to
Troop 288.”
Last year they collected 12,000
pounds of food products and hoped
to exceed that amount this year.

After Successful Performances
CVIM Prepares for
By Samantha SLAYBACK
The
Crescenta
Valley
Instrumental Music – CVIM –
marching band performed for the
second time in the Capistrano Field
Show Competition in October. The
competition splits music groups into
categories based on size. Including
the color guard, drum line and
band, the CVIM group included
120 members, placing them in the
4A category of the competition.
“Our show was entitled ‘Age of
Invention’ and we earned a score of
82.5 which was a five point increase
from our last competition at La
Habra,” said CVIM Music Director
Mathew Schick. “The students
practice about nine to 10 hours a
week in preparation for field show
competitions and parades.”
Preparations started for CVIM
at camp in July where students
spent up to three weeks learning
the music and drill before the
school year began. The groups’ hard
work and practice paid off, earning
CVIM the second place spot in a
category of seven groups.
“I am proud of the students on
how well they improved,” said
Schick. “Our parent group has
been extremely supportive as well,
chaperoning, feeding the kids, and
helping to transport equipment at
every event.”
The following day, the jazz band
performed at Travel Town’s Depot
Days in Griffith Park.
“This is always a fun event where
the jazz band plays traditional
swing jazz from the ’30s and ’40s to
help Travel Town celebrate Depot
Days and the glory and importance
of the railway system, which built
America,” explained Schick.
The band performed songs such
as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,”
“April in Paris,” “In the Mood,” “
Sing, Sing, Sing” and “American
Patrol” among others.
Including the weekly Friday
night football games, this event
was the third in three days for the
many CVIM members who are
both jazz band and marching band
members. But, according to Schick,
the members were well prepared
and received positive feedback
from the organization and audience
members on how well they played.
Since October, the CVIM
program performed at another
competition where they placed first
out of nine bands.
“We competed on Nov. 14 at semi
finals and earned third place out of
19 bands. We were only .05 points
away from second and .45 away
from first,” said Schick.
The band is preparing for
the Southern California Band
Championships on Nov. 21 at
Huntington Beach High School.
Only the top eight bands compete
at Huntington Beach High School.
“We are all very excited!” added
Schick.
Once the big competitions are
behind them, CVIM begins to ramp
up for the holidays. Both the wind
ensemble and string orchestra will
be practicing holiday pieces while
continuing to practice for winter
performances.

the Crescenta Valley Falcons
58-19 to end CV’s run at

It was close at halftime,

“We were able to keep it close,
but the fourth quarter just got
away from us,” said Falcons
Coach Paul Schilling. “We were
too banged up. But that’s a good
team over there. They’re good.”
The Phantoms (10-1) play
Downey (7-4) this week,
a team that CV beat in the
championship game last year.
Bostin Lakin, who caught four
passes for 46 yards, went down
with an injury at the start of the
third quarter and didn’t return.
Brandon Beardt was also out,
and Sean McDonald suffered a
concussion near the end of the
game.
Quarterback Evan Nelson, who
shared time with Tyler Hill this
season, also didn’t play. Instead,
the start went to freshman
Cole Doyle, who played the
previous week against Arcadia,
and threw the game-winning
score. Against Cathedral, Doyle
was 13 of 22 for 132 yards,
with one touchdown and two
interceptions. Hill completed all
three of his passes for 44 yards,
but when he’s taking snaps,
the offense revolves around him
beating up guys by running
the ball. Hill carried the ball 11
times for 40 yards and scored
twice.
Hill’s junior season ended
with 703 yards passing, with
eight touchdowns and six
interceptions. He carried the ball
128 times for almost 700 yards
and scored 10 touchdowns. Hill,
who was an All-CIF selection of
defense last year, also made 62
tackles at the safety position and
had two interceptions.
Schilling said Doyle will get
an opportunity at quarterback
in the spring, when passing
tournaments come back around.
He said he believes a dualquarterback threat, at least
right now, may be what’s best for
the team.
“That will allow Ty to play
defense, and on offense be the
type of physical guy he wants
to be,” Schilling said. “He won’t
have to be the guy who has to
keep calm. He can keep that
mindset that he’s always had on
defense.”
As for Doyle, who is listed at
5’7”, Schilling likes what he sees
from the freshman.
“He’s young, and he’s good,
that’s why we put him out there.
He’s had all the right training as
a kid growing up,” he said.
With Hill and Doyle and a
lot of other guys returning, the
Falcons will try and continue
their winning ways over the past
few seasons. It wasn’t too long
ago the program was stuck in
mediocrity. But since 2013, the
team has gone 29-6. Schilling
and his staff will also return
running back Joe Suh, receiver
Will Rees, and defensive players
Chuck Weinmann and Nobel
Leduc, all of whom played key
roles helping the Falcons win
seven games, and go 5-2 in the
Pacific League.
Crescenta Valley will say
goodbye to seniors Nelson,
Lakin, Nizar Abou-Chakra, and
Colin Caver, who barely played
this year due to injury. Caver
played in all 14 games last year
and recorded 113 tackles and 11
sacks.
“Colin played in only two
games, and when he did play he
wasn’t the same Colin we knew
last year,” Schilling said.
A year like 2014, when the
team went undefeated and won
a championship for the first time
since 1973, might not ever come
around, but at least the Falcons
are still young and talented
enough to spark excitement for
next year.

Falcon Cross-Country Boys Advance to CIF Finals
By Leonard COUTIN
The CIF Southern Section
cross-country prelims were held
Saturday at the Riverside City
Cross Country Course. Although
the CIF committee intended this
to be a first class experience, the
course and facilities needed a lot of
fine-tuning. Problems began early
on with traffic backing up coming
into the parking lot, and it was
equally difficult leaving the site.
Due to the dust problems
athletes
and
spectators
encountered
the
Riverside
Invitational, the CIF committee
had water trucks watering down
the course throughout the day.
Unfortunately this made running
the course difficult as the soles of
the runners’ shoes were caked with
inches of dirt. In addition, there
were scheduling changes. This
year the committee held only two
heats rather than the traditional
three to move teams forward. The
Division 1 heats assembled 29
teams on the start line. Each team
was composed of seven athletes
resulting in more than 203 runners
competing for the top 16 team
spots of each race. There were two
heat races for each division trying
to qualify for the CIF finals. The
CIF finals take place Nov. 21 at
Mt. SAC.
In addition, the Falcon boys came
to the prelims at a disadvantage.
The school’s top athletes suffered
injuries prior to Saturday’s race.
CV’s Zach Johnson, a sophomore
who has been a strong contributor
to the team’s success, had a possible
heel fracture and was forced to sit
out. Further sapping the team’s
morale was learning they would be
up against Burroughs and Arcadia
in their race.
Early on Arcadia Apache Phillip
Rocha took the lead. Falcon
runners Colin FitzGerald and
Philip Thomas moved swiftly to
establish themselves with the
front runners as they sprinted
the first 300 yards before facing
the hairpin curve. CV’s Armin
Cardenas, who was also nursing
an injury, took the third spot for
the Falcons, running with the
second lead group that included
teammates Kyle Dickinson, Artin
Allahverdian and Robert Thomas.
After the first two loops of the
course, the Falcons held promising
positions.
But it was Rocha who was
completely relaxed, running only
as fast as he needed to qualify
and win, running 14:44.00. Ethan
Comeaux of Redondo Union High
School gave a valiant effort to place
second (14:45.10). Colin FitzGerald
took an impressive fourth
(14:56.20). Philip Thomas grabbed
sixth place, another key position,
running (14:58.90). Cardenas
helped the Falcons by coming in
13th (15:10.20). Dickinson took
29th (15:24.70). Allahverdian,
who ran his first varsity race at
Riverside, scored 77th (15:54.70).
Coach Mark Evans considered
the team’s third place position a
success.
“We ran well … much better
grouping,” Evans said. “We still
need to close the gap between our
fourth and fifth runners. Kyle had
a very good race. Colin, Philip
and Armin were all very strong up
front and that is important for us
to go on. Armin Cardenas had a
good race in one of his first varsity
races.”
Team standings: Dana Hills
followed by Burroughs, Crescenta
Valley, Arcadia and Eleanor
Roosevelt.
The Falcon girls completed their
final race of the season at Riverside.
Placing 23rd did not allow the
team to move forward. Highlights
included Grace McAuley placing
48th running 18:42.00 followed
by teammates Rebecca Mencia in
125th (20:05.20), Elizabeth Hart
in 127th (20:05.50), Hanna Leines
in 170th, Eva Valero in 177th
(21:40.30), Sojeong Kang in 181st
(22:00.80) and Gabriela Borraez in
185th (22:19.40).
Evans had praise for the girls.
“The girls ran well,” he said.
“They competed well throughout
the race and never gave up. Those
returning gained a lot of experience
for the future. The seniors all
competed well and can be proud of
how they [did].”
Arcadia girls took third in their
heat and Burroughs girls finished
in seventh with lead Indian runner
Emily Virture capturing second
place (16:58.00) qualifying for
the finals. Candela Fernandez of
Burbank individually will also
move on after taking second in her
heat (17:24.70).
The Burbank boys and girls
teams concluded their season just
missing top qualifying placement.

BETWEEN FRIENDS
By Jason KUROSU
T
he works of local artist
Louise Forbes will be on
public display for perhaps
the final time, as the Montrose
gallery dedicated to her art will
close its doors this December
after more than three decades of
operation.
Forbes passed away in April
at the age of 89, leaving behind a
lifetime’s worth of work, much of
which is on display at Forbes Art &
Frames in Montrose.
First opened in 1983, the gallery
was open to the public five days a
week until Forbes’ health declined
in 2014. Now her son Doug and
daughter-in-law Claudia have the
gallery open whenever possible.
Those interested in purchasing
a piece or viewing the collection
typically can visit with an
appointment. But with the sale
of the building and closure of the
gallery imminent, Forbes’ family
wants the public to visit and view
the collection during what may be
their last chance to do so.
Her signature style of oil paintings
Legacy of Louise Forbes
on wood and her Nebraska-born
love of nature define much of the
work found at the gallery, but
visitors can get a firsthand glimpse
at the development and evolution
of an artist that tried her hand at
a number of styles and mediums,
from portraiture to calligraphy to
florals.
Forbes and her husband John
moved from Omaha, Nebraska to
California in 1957. She graduated
from the University of Nebraska,
taught art at the McGroarty Arts
Center in Tujunga and put on
regular shows at venues across
Southern California, including an
annual show at Descanso Gardens.
Honing her craft over the years,
Forbes found a home and a voice
in transforming the swirling,
abstract patterns of wood grain into
gorgeous nature scenes, most of
which featured animals.
“She used the grain of the wood
to guide what she envisioned,” said
Claudia, who said that Forbes’ love
of nature led her to want to use “the
living component of a tree” in her
work.
Highly critical of her own work,

still view her work by appointment only.
everything.”
It is uncertain whether Forbes’
work will ever be on display
anywhere again other than the
homes of her close and extended
family members. The family has
found storage space for the works,
but the prospect of featuring the art
in another proper gallery is up in
the air.
The only certainty is that
art was clearly a labor of love for
her. Much of the work is untitled
or titled with concise names such
as “Wolf” or “Tiger,” the relative
unimportance of titles giving way
to pure craft.
But despite the seriousness of
her artistic endeavors, Claudia
described Forbes as “always very
positive and upbeat. She was the
kind of person who saw the good in
until the end of December, the
community still has an opportunity
to pay tribute to the life and work of
one of its own.
Forbes Art and Frames is located
at 2302 Florencita Ave. in Montrose,
near the corner of Florencita and
Ocean View Boulevard.

On Saturday, the La Crescenta

Antiques and Collectibles Show
and Appraisal Event. The event
was an opportunity for the
public to do some early holiday
shopping or find out the worth of
a beloved “antique.” With many
types of items for sale, from
holiday décor to old games and
decorative pieces, the event was
a place where everyone could find
something appealing. Appraisals
were given by Crown City
Antiques for $5 per appraisal,
with earnings going back to the
La Crescenta Woman’s Club.
The day presented the
opportunity to meet new people
while searching for a treasure.

A History of (and Recipe for) Turkey
By Charly SHELTON
Nobody really knows what
the exact menu was at the first
Thanksgiving in 1621. According
to letters and journals of those
who attended the feast, they
ate “beef and fowl,” and they
did have a turkey hunt the day
before, according to a letter from
dinner attendee and pilgrim
Edward Winslow. But whatever
was served at the original dinner,
turkey is a staple for we modern
Americans every November.
One of the earliest mentions
of turkey as a feast bird was in
“A Christmas Carol,” by Charles
Dickens. The turkey is indigenous
to Central and North America
and grew wild around the country,
becoming a common food in
the diets of Native Americans
and Mesoamericans. When the
European settlers first brought
the turkey back to England in
the 16th century, it was a great
delicacy. The pheasant and goose
were more affordable as they grew
wild in England and the turkey
was just beginning domestication
there. So when Ebeneezer Scrooge
has his Christmas revelation and
turns nice at the end of the story,
he sends the biggest prize turkey
in all of London over to Bob
Crachit’s house for his family’s
Christmas Day feast. This is
like sending a 25-pound slab of
Australian Wagyu beef today.
This story was widely ready and
it cemented the turkey as the
official feast bird for Europe and
America.
Now that we know where it
has come from, let’s do it right.
The following is a turkey recipe
that has been culled from bits and
pieces of other recipes and family
secrets by yours truly.
Best Turkey of … Ever
20-ish pound turkey
3 tbsp rosemary. If fresh pull off
stem but don’t chop
3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
3 tbsp thyme
A few bay leaves
3 tbsp tarragon
4 tbsp sage, chopped as fine as
you can
1 stick butter cut into 6 pieces
1 stick butter, whole and softened
Stuffing for inside the turkey
3 potatoes
1 loaf soft French bread
2 lemons
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Paprika, sweet or smoked
Kitchen twine
Let the turkey thaw all the way.
Do this several days in advance,
like four days. It takes forever.
When thawed, wash it inside and
out, making sure to remove the
neck and gizzards. Pan fry these
for the cats or dogs – they love it.
Mix all the herbs except the bay
leaf. This is your rub.
Lift the skin at the opening and
slide the butter pieces in, three
on each side of the breast, spaced
down equally. Then rub half of
the herbs in under the skin. Coat
as evenly as you can. Then rub
almost all of the rest (save about 1
tsp of the herb rub) on the outside
of the turkey, making sure to get
the legs and wings as well. You
will need a little olive oil to help
it stick and to crisp the skin. That
last little bit of herbs will come
into play shortly.
Stuff the bird. Not overly full,

but just enough. Take one lemon,
wash it and cut off just a little
bit of the skin along the equator
of the lemon, showing the flesh
inside. Stab the lemon a few times
for good measure – you want the
lemon juice to be able to get out.
Place that in the turkey hole to
block it up. Then sprinkle the last
pinch of the herbs over the lemon
and around the opening. Cut the
other lemon and squeeze half the
juice over the turkey. Tuck the
bay leaves in around the edge of
the turkey, under the wings and
whatnot, then tuck the wings
under the breast. Tie the legs with
kitchen twine. Sprinkle with salt,
pepper and paprika on the breast.
Cut the top of the bread just
about ¼ inch or so to take off any
uneven pieces. Cut the whole
loaf in half and butter it with the
other stick of butter. This replaces
the need for stock. Place the two
halves side by side in the bottom
of the pan, butter side up. Put the
turkey in the pan, breast down.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cut the potatoes into medium
size chunks and circle the turkey.
Put turkey in oven legs first. Cook
for about an hour, uncovered, at
425 degrees. Make a tiny bikini
(or Superman) symbol out of foil.
Take the turkey out, flip it over
and affix your foil decoration.
Baste the turkey and return it
to the oven, neck first, at 350
degrees for another five hours
or so, basting every half hour.
Generally, 20 minutes per pound
is the rule but be sure to stick to
temperature readings more than
a time/weight rule.
When the juices run clear and
your thermometer reads about
155 degrees in the white meat,
it’s done. Pull it out and toss it
on your serving platter or carving
board. Tent it with foil and let sit
for 20 minutes. As it sits, it will
get up to the safe temperature
of 165 degrees and is ready for
carving.

LEISURE
By Mary O’KEEFe
“F
an”
has
had
some
negative
connotations over
the years, from obsessive to
lonely and, of course, “living in
your parents’ basement.” But
there is another side of “fan”
or “fandom” which those on the
outside rarely credit – it is the
feeling of belonging, of being
part of a huge family.
If there is one definition
that can define last weekend’s
“Supernatural” Convention in
Pasadena it would be “family.”
“You feel a closeness with the
people in the [Supernatural]
fandom,” said Kristin, a fan
at the convention. “It doesn’t
matter if I have had a [bad]
day…”
“It is the best therapy for
a [bad] day,” added Kathryn,
another fan.
“Supernatural” is a series
on the CW television network
that is now airing season 11.
The premise – Sam and Dean
Winchester are brothers who
are “carrying on the family
tradition” of hunting – hunting
demons, ghosts, witches and, in
some cases, angels or basically
anything that goes bump in the
night or in the daylight. Kind of
the Biblical and mythological
side of the “X-Files.”
Sam and Dean travel the
country putting themselves in
danger as they battle the big
evil, whatever that might be
for that season. But always
at the foundation is they will
do what they need to do to
protect family. And the stars,
Jared Padalecki and Jensen
Ackles who play Sam and Dean
respectively, travel the country
to hit as many fan conventions
as possible.
“This is definitely my longest
running obsession,” Kristin
said. “I started watching it
when I was just shy of 13.”
She began watching because
Padalecki
had
previously
A ‘Supernatural’ Family
portrayed Dean on “Gilmore
Girls,” a very different type
of
television
show
from
“Supernatural.”
She started watching with
her father, and when he stopped
watching she continued.
“But this is my first con
[convention]. I don’t know why I
haven’t been to one before,” she
said.
This may be up for debate
but the modern fan convention’s
template is that of the “Star
Trek” convention. Series creator
Gene Roddenberry knew from
the beginning of the series that
fans were an important part of
the industry. He reached out
to them through conventions
in the 1970s and that reach
continues today.
The stars of “Supernatural”
know the power of the fan as
well. Since season one they
have been out there with their
fans, which might explain the
almost eerie comfort they have
with those most ardent fans.
As they took the stage on
Sunday for the Gold Patron
audience, a group that spent
$699 for the weekend of allthat-is-“Supernatural,”
they
were like old friends. There did
not seem to be any fear, the type
you see in some press events
with other stars; it was just
two old friends giving updates
to family and friends. The
questions were less about their
show than about their children
and what they were doing for
the holidays.
There were also moving
moments, like when a fan
thanked the stars for their
support through an incredibly
tough, emotional time. And
another fan who was in the
military

CROWS NEST
For A Traditional
Thanksgiving Dinner
November 26th
(reservations required)
Art and Susan Miner, both engineers, are the owners of The Crows
Nest Sports Grille. We are a family
owned business. After 25+ years in
engineering, Art decided he wanted
a career change. He had been thinking about starting a business for several years and we thought about a
Sports Bar because the community
desperately needed more restaurant
choices and lacked a convenient
place to relax and enjoy a beer, a
meal and a good sporting event.
We have more than 25 TVs, including some dedicated to the BuzzTime Trivia game, which our customers asked us for. We have a juke
box, 2 pool tables, and a couple of
video games that we change every
now and again for variety. We offer
live entertainment most weekends.
Please see our website for details.
Art really enjoys a good beer and
has worked hard to get over 40
good quality beers on tap. (We are
currently at 48). We have several
craft beers, several different IPAs,
3 different Ciders, a couple of fruit
beers and even one Radler. We also
carry many different bottled beers,
including several non-alcoholic
beers. For those that don’t drink
beer, like Susan, we have a good
selection of wines, by the glass or
bottle.
We are open for breakfast, lunch
and dinner. Art has a passion for
cooking and enjoys good food,
and he has tried very hard to create
good quality meals for a reasonable
price. We serve mostly American
food, omelets, pancakes, burgers,
sandwiches, soups, salads, salmon
dinners, chicken dinners, pastas, etc.
We have occasional meal specials,
and Happy Hour specials. Our Happy Hour is Mon – Fri, 3pm – 6pm.
Our breakfast is served from 7am
to 11am daily. Our Dinner Entrees
are served starting at 5pm daily.
We offer a senior citizen discount,
and a kids menu. We are open from

November 16, 2015 - November 22, 2015
G LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22
The week begins with a focus on Scorpio
and perhaps a desire to resolve an issue
by doing some detective work. Neptune
pushes ahead midweek, which could help
illuminate your path ahead, particularly
where a dream of yours is concerned. The
focus then shifts as both Mercury and
the Sun dance into Sagittarius, bringing
thoughts of travel or encouraging you
to expand your horizons in other ways.
Relationships flourish, too, with the
chance that one may become more
serious by the weekend.
B TAURUS April 20 - May 20
You have the option to clear the decks
and resolve an issue concerning a
relationship or romantic association.
However, if you’re going to sort things
out, you might need to get rid of excess
baggage that has been holding back
for some time in the course of a key
partnership. The focus shifts to shared
finances and resources, encouraging you
to take stock of your present situation and
act accordingly. Business matters could
show promise so long as you take any
pitfalls into account.
C GEMINI May 21 - June 20
As Saturn moves to aspect Neptune
next week, it’s important to keep your
boundaries firm, particularly when
handling business or professional
matters. If you don’t, someone may steal
your thunder and undermine your efforts.
However, the focus on relationships
intensifies this week as Mercury and
the Sun hike into Sagittarius, adding a
lighter note to the coming weeks. Though
certain associations could seem to test
your patience, the ability to spice your
interactions with a dose of good humor
can make a difference.
CANCER June 21 - July 22
Should you or another dare to share your
feelings, a romance could blossom early
this week. Even so, you might wonder
whether you should have waited a little
longer. Saturn has been in your health
sector for some time now, and this week
it’s joined by Mercury and the Sun. It
could push you to examine wellness and
lifestyle issues in greater depth. Although
there might be a tendency to indulge,
Saturn’s sterner note can help keep you
on track when temptation strikes.
E LEO July 23 - August 22
You could be busy arranging deals,
contracts, or even a first date, as well
as resolving situations in which you’ve
been taken for granted. Mars in your sign
encourages you to take action regarding
circumstances that aren’t fair. It’s time to
let others know that you’re a force to be
reckoned with. On Friday the focus shifts
to your zone of communication, so you
could be busy with writing projects or a
backlog of administrative tasks. Study or
research could boost your credentials.
H SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21
A decision made early in the week
could set your mind at rest, as could a
conversation you’ve been putting off
for some time. Tuesday’s alignment
suggests that you’ll benefit from taking
rather than avoiding action. Neptune’s
forward motion midweek could see a
new romance becoming more defined,
particularly if it’s been somewhat
sporadic until now. Soon you could
become an item! Finances come into view
from Friday, when it’s time to take stock
and make plans.
I SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
As Saturn in your sign gets closer to
squaring off with Neptune, any feelings
of insecurity may come down to changes
occurring within you. Shifts in your
spiritual awareness can be reflected
in changes in or around your home
and family situation. You may find that
meditation or other spiritual activities
steady inner turmoil and help you feel
more confident about the future. Once
Mercury and the Sun dance into your
sign, start on any projects that are long
overdue.
J CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19
Priorities could shift and change early in
the week, particularly if a dream or goal
no longer holds your interest. However,
switching to something that you’re truly
passionate about could act as a catalyst,
encouraging you to start now. Once
Mercury and the Sun dance into your
spiritual sector, you’ll enter that time
of year when rest and relaxation are
mandatory. You need this opportunity
to clear out the clutter of thoughts and
emotions that no longer serve you.
K AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18
As the Sun and Mercury move through
the last degrees of Scorpio, your feelings
about one aspect of your job or career
may leap to your attention. If something
needs to be done, this is the time to take
action. Neptune pushes forward in your
personal financial sector midweek, so if
you’ve suffered delays in this area, things
should slowly get better. The heightened
focus on your friendship zone from Friday
encourages you to move in new circles
and be more socially adventurous.
Mars and Venus in Libra are perfect for
charming the socks off of a business
associate or love interest. Indeed, you
might be willing to bend over backward
in order to prove your suitability for a
job, project, or romantic relationship.
However, if such acrobatics begin to
hurt, it might be because you aren’t being
completely true to yourself. Find the right
balance and you’ll be fine. Your pleasure
zone lights up from Friday, encouraging
you to indulge in creative, romantic or . PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20
competitive pastimes.
Saturn, now in your career sector, puts
your attention on the here and now,
F VIRGO August 23 - Sept. 22
encouraging you to meet deadlines,
If you’re planning to increase your define goals, and take action regarding
income, cutting back on small but your career plan. As Neptune pushes
inessential luxuries could be the key to ahead in your sign from midweek you
increasing your stash of cash. However, may find that you begin to get clarity on
with Venus and Mars sauntering through what you hope to accomplish, helping
your personal financial sector, the desire you to bring your dreams to life. Watch
to shop could be stronger than ever. Set out for the green-eyed monster on Friday,
yourself a limit. It might help you feel as jealousy could upset a longstanding

Hearts and Stomachs Filled
at Empty Bowls
By Robin GOLDSWORTHY
A
ll were welcomed to
share an evening of
stories, music and soup
at the eighth annual Empty
Bowls event held on Nov. 7 at
CV United Methodist Church.
Empty Bowls is an international
effort to help end hunger. At CV
United Methodist Church, the
theme of the evening was “Hope,
Not Hunger” where donors paid
$20 for a one-of-a-kind bowl that
could be filled with several soups
prepared by local restaurants.
Diners also enjoyed bread
donated by Berolina Bakery.
“Our goal is to give hope to
the hungry,” said CV United
Methodist Church Rev. Steven
Poteete-Marshall.
Proceeds
from the evening, estimated
at $6,000, were dedicated to
Friends in Deed House, World
Service Fund of the Methodist
Church and the Bailey Human
Care Center at Tujunga United
Methodist Church.
This was Poteete-Marshall’s
third year participating in
Empty Bowls. Dressed like Clark
Kent (with a Superman T-shirt
peeking through his dress shirt),
Poteete-Marshall represented a
“Souper Hero.”
Helping in the coordination
of the Empty Bowls event was
Jeanne Lavieri, social action
coordinator for the church who
detailed how Empty Bowls came
together.

Bob Fletcher tempts Norma Ellis with the day’s offerings.
“There
are
connections
[through this project] between
artists,
potters
and
our
congregation. Montrose Peace
Vigil participates. CV High has
made 100 bowls every year.
This year two ceramics students
from CV served soup,” Lavieri
said. “Some of my students at
North Hollywood High made
bowls and helped wash them for
the event. It gives restaurants
an opportunity to help, and
musicians generously donate
their gifts. This year we had
lots of Boy and Girl Scouts.
People of different faiths [and]
organizations all come together
for a good cause. It’s a taste of the
Kingdom of Heaven.”
Lavieri
spearheaded
the
Empty Bowls project at CVUMC
eight years ago. She said that,
in addition to alleviating hunger
and raising awareness, she is
a potter and an art teacher
who “loves to share the joys of
working with clay and developing
creativity with anyone willing to
volunteer.”

“So the bowl aspect of the
project is a great fit,” she added.
The event was an opportunity
for service organizations to crosspromote as well as cross-support.
Helping to serve soup were
members of various Boy Scout
troops. Bob Fletcher and Bob
Sparks, assistant scoutmasters
for Troop 288, had ladle duty.
“The
church
supports
scouting,” said Fletcher of the
troop’s involvement. “Empty
Bowls is a great project.” The Boy
Scouts were preparing for the
pick-up portion of their annual
Scouting for Food project taking
place Nov. 14.
Also lending a hand was
Fletcher’s wife Rebecca who
helps with Sue’s Garden, a
service group at First Baptist
Church at La Crescenta. Sue’s
Garden works to help the
less fortunate in the foothill
communities.
Those who were unable to
buy a bowl at Empty Bowls
had another chance to help the
cause at the annual Prom Plus
Holiday Boutique on Nov. 14
where extra bowls were for sale.

Montrose Barber Shop
Celebrates 70 Years!
There’s a big party at the Montrose Barber Shop tomorrow,
Friday, and you are invited! They have been in business 70
years and it’s cause for a big celebration. To get ready for this
shindig they gutted the entire store and did a major remodel
highlighting the original architecture. The vintage barber chairs
now have a hip, new home complete with granite countertops,
custom cabinets, modern lighting, exposed original transom
windows and skylights. It looks great but don’t take my word for
it. You must come by on party day and see for yourself. Owner
Jack Rocher (right) bought the place back in 1968 and has great
stories to tell. Granddaughter Lynn Thatcher has followed in his
barbering footsteps and designed the new digs. Bennie (left) and
the infamous Vito Canella round out the crew. The open house
will go from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. with an MSPA ribbon cutting at 4:30
p.m. The beverages will be flowing and Gio’s has been hired to
cater cookies and sandwiches. It’s going to be a memorable day!
Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more great pics!
It’s Time To Shop Montrose!
Once again I am serving as our MSP Neighborhood Champion
for Small Business Saturday. This national event, sponsored by
American Express, takes place the day after White Friday, when
the rest of the world is black, but not “Mayberry” Montrose! The
purpose is to encourage everyone to shop small businesses on the
biggest shopping weekend of the year. Sounds like it was meant
for us in the Montrose Shopping Park with over 150 “mom & pop”
boutiques, salons and cafés. We had fun taking this pic with some
of our merchants and city officials. More details will follow as we
approach the day. Meanwhile, every day is a great day to shop
Montrose. So many exciting boutiques! So many cafés for foodies!
So much style! So much seasonal inspiration! There’s only one
Montrose and folks who have to move away miss it dearly. Enjoy!
Fall in Love With Montrose!

Preparing for El Niño and Making a
Family Emergency Plan
Are you prepared to for El Niño?
Do you have a family emergency
plan in place in case of a natural
disaster or other type of emergency
situation? Have you stockpiled
enough food, water and supplies for
72 hours for you and your family to
use after the next earthquake?
Research shows most people are
not as prepared as they think they
are when it comes to disasters.
The City of Glendale has a variety
of resources to get prepared. The
City will be holding a series of town
hall meetings to help residents and
businesses prepare for El Niño.
The town hall meetings will also
teach residents more about what
the city is doing to prepare for the
wet weather. The first El Niño
Community Meeting was held
yesterday, Nov. 18 but there are four
additional community meetings
planned throughout the City of
Glendale (dates to be announced).
To get additional information visit
glendalefire.org & elNiñoready.org.
Here are a few tips to help you
prepare for El Niño: 1. Inspect
your yard for dead trees, debris, or
objects that could be blown by storm
winds. 2. Make sure all drains and
gutters are clear of debris and
functioning properly. 3. Inspect
your roof for loose tiles, holes or
other signs of wear. 4. Inspect all
sloped areas for signs of gullying,
surface cracks, and slumping. 5.
Make sure your yard doesn’t have
large bare areas, which could
be sources for mudflow during a
storm event. 6. Inspect nearby
storm drains. If the storm drains
are obstructed, clear the material
or notify the Public Works Dept. 7.
Pick-up and fill sandbags for flood
control. Residents may pick up
10 free unfilled sandbags at Fire
Station 21 at 421 Oak St. There are
five locations for Glendale residents
to pick up sand: Dunsmore Park
- 4700 Dunsmore Ave., Brand
Park - 1601 W Mountain St.,
Glenoaks Park - 2531 Glenoaks
Blvd., Sports Complex - 2200 Fern
Lane and Fire Station 23 - Chevy
Chase Library parking lot - 3303 E.
Chevy Chase Dr. Please only pick
up sand from parks during their
normal operating hours. 8. Ensure
your pets have protected shelter.
9. Prepare an emergency kit for
your home, work and vehicle. 10.
Create a family emergency plan
and practice it.
The Glendale Fire Dept. website
has other great resources for being
emergency ready, including videos
on how to fill sandbags, how to create
an emergency kit and emergency
phone numbers. Another critical
resource is the City’s emergency
notification system Everbridge.
Everbridge is the City of Glendale’s
mass notification system, which
is utilized during large incidents
to issue notifications to affected
residents. Sign up to receive
emergency alerts like evacuations,
road closures, shelter locations
and more at GlendaleFire.org. Be
informed during local emergencies:
To get up-to-date information
regarding disasters, residents
should follow @GlendaleCAFire
and @MyGlendale on Twitter and
visit city websites for information.
Depending on the type of
emergency, the city will activate
the
Emergency
Information
Center (EIC), which is a phone
bank managed by city staff that
allows residents to speak to a live
person about the incident. When
the Emergency Information Center
is activated, please use (818) 5483301 to get information. Take the
time today to sign up for these
free informative services, get your
house ready and make sure you
have an emergency family plan.
You will be glad you did.

INTRODUCING
ROBOTIC
SURGERY
Taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand
MINIMAL SCARRING
•
MINIMAL BLOOD LOSS
•
FASTER RECOVER TIME
Robotic surgery is the most advanced minimally invasive option for patients facing abdominal
or gastrointestinal surgery. The surgeon is situated at the control console several feet from the
operating table, and is 100% in control of the da Vinci System. The robot translates the surgeon’s
hand movements into smaller, more precise movements with the tiny instruments inside your body.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTIC SURGERY ARE:
• IMPROVED ACCURACY
• IMPROVED PRECISION
• SMALLER INCISIONS
• LESS SCARRING
• SHORTER RECOVERY TIME
