And Down She Goes I’m beginning to think that exercise is definitely over-rated. On Sunday, I had my day planned. Get up, take a walk (which up here in the foothills can be rather taxing), shower, head to church, then catch up on some work at the office. I got up okay, but then everything […]
A sea of green and blue blanketed the Crescenta Valley as Clark Magnet and Crescenta Valley high schools each presented their Class of 2012. By Mary O’KEEFE and Misty DUPLESSIS It was promotion and graduation day on June 14 in Crescenta Valley. For most students in Glendale Unified School District, it was the last day […]
Time of Transitions Today is graduation for our local high school seniors. For many of the kids, it is a day of mixed emotions. On the one hand, graduation represents the completion of years of study, and just one step toward achieving a degree in higher education. On the other hand, graduation will bring the […]
By Robin GOLDSWORTHY The Crescenta Valley Drug & Alcohol Prevention Coalition – CVDAPC – is in the process of “rebooting” the organization, which is approaching its third anniversary. To help better define its goals and reconnect with its sector partners, CVDAPC hosted a morning brainstorming session in the community room at Verdugo Hills Hospital on […]
The Sound of Bagpipes Like many parents in the foothills this year, Steve and I celebrated the graduation of our son from college.

Swept Away at the Alex Anyone who knows me knows that we’ve fallen into a predictable pattern here at the CV Weekly. Thursday is a day of celebration as the paper is out on the street and – for better or worse – it’s behind me. Thankfully, I usually have little regret as I read […]
As you know, I write a column every week that reflects on things going on in the valley generally or in my life specifically. I realize that these fall far short of Shakespearean prose, but my musings usually garner some sort of response from readers of the CV Weekly and I appreciate that. This week […]
Hard to believe that the end of another school year is rapidly approaching. Though my youngest graduated from Crescenta Valley High School just a year ago, I still know kids who are preparing for prom and graduation, then moving on to college. And while they are eagerly anticipating beginning a new life, their parents are […]
Celebrating a Life Less Known This past Friday, the 13th – just past midnight – my mother-in-law’s husband passed away. Frank was 88 years old and married to my mother-in-law for 10 years. Obviously, he wasn’t my husband’s father. John Goldsworthy died in 1989 at the too young age of 56. After mourning for many […]
By Robin GOLDSWORTHY More than 130 folks turned out to see just how smart they were at the 24th annual Smart-A-Thon held on March 28 at Verdugo Hills Hospital. The event is the primary fundraiser for the Mary Pinola/CV Chamber Education Endowment Fund that has awarded over $100,000 since its inception in 1990. Participants paid […]
