By Mary O’KEEFE CVW recently sat down with Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger to discuss topical issues that included the future of school resource officers and county residents who are facing homelessness.

By Robin GOLDSWORTHY and Mary O’KEEFE They came dressed in costumes with festive bunny ears and in their Easter finery, most carrying empty Easter baskets or paper bags ready to be filled. These were the hunters, the serious Easter egg seekers, who converged on Two Strike Park on Saturday morning to collect their share of […]
What an absolutely amazing weekend! I, like so many in the Crescenta Valley, had my fill on Sunday taking part in the annual Taste of Montrose. The event benefitted CVHS Prom Plus which hosts an after prom event at the YMCA. The cost to put on Prom Plus is more than $20,000 and Taste of […]
This weather has been nuts! First I’m baking and begging for the air conditioning to be kept on, then Monday night I turned on the heat. Thankfully, there was very little weather-related schizophrenia on Saturday during the annual Oktoberfest in Montrose. I’m active in an organization at Crescenta Valley High School called Prom Plus.

We’re barely into summer and friends of mine with school-aged children are already hearing those dreaded words: I’m bored. These are the same children who, not a week ago, were doing the happy dance that school was out! Summer’s here! I can sleep in! Now it’s, “There’s nothing to do,” and “Can you take me […]
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 […]
