From the desk of the publisher, Robin Goldsworthy Let’s face it – few things say “celebration” like fireworks. And fewer still capture the celebratory spirit of our country’s independence like a good old-fashioned fireworks show. We’re so lucky here in the Crescenta Valley. Not only do we have a dynamic fireworks show, but a carnival […]
Dear President Obama: The Congress of the United States, by Joint Resolution on June 9, 1966 approved H.J. Resolution 763 proclaiming the week in which the 14th occurs as National Flag Week, and the same Resolution requested that the President is to issue every year a proclamation and also to call upon citizens of the […]
Last week I wrote about being overwhelmed with too many choices while shopping for baby paraphernalia at a specialty store in Glendale. Who knew there had been so many leaps and bounds in toddler technology since my own kids were certified curtain climbers some 25 years ago – give or take a gray hair or […]
Last week I wrote about the Indian village of Wikangna, and how its assumed location was the current site of the Verdugo Hills Golf Course. That got me musing on the bad situation currently at the golf course. The developers that now own the golf course have been forced into a game of chicken with […]

It was conceived of and existed as an alternative that was superior to what was available for mental […]
» Jim Chase Our daughter and son-in-law will be having their first baby just about one month from today. Although it will be our fourth grandchild, it will be the first to live within an easy drive from us. You see, our other three grand-munchkins live heart-wrenchingly far away in Hawaii. My wife and I […]
It is my ultimate frustration as a local historian to have such a wealth of information on our last two centuries in CV, yet have almost nothing on the thousands of years of human history before that. Our first inhabitants, the Tongva Indians, hunted, camped, established villages, lived entire lives of tragedy and triumph, right […]
Robin Goldsworthy from the desk of the publisher Montrose was host to a variety of activities. In addition to taking care of the girls getting ready for La Cañada and Crescenta Valley high school proms on Saturday, Kim and Kris and their crew at Merle Norman Cosmetics worked their magic on Joycie Dungca, the lovely […]
RE: Larger Class Sizes There is concern by public school parents over larger class sizes coming this fall in the Glendale schools. While public schools are tuition free, parents do have alternatives. Right here in La Crescenta, two new approaches to private, Catholic schools will start in the fall, located on two sites, K– 4th […]
