Last weekend, if you remember, was the annual Foothills Relay for Life event held at Clark Magnet High School. As I have for the last four years, I was onsite for most of the 24 hours. It was particularly important to me to be there to witness the survivors’ walk, the first lap on Saturday […]
“I walk for my father.” “I walk for my aunt.” “I walk for my best friend.” This weekend is the 24-hour American Cancer Society’s Foothills Relay for Life event being held over at Clark Magnet High School. The Relay is a mega-fundraiser for the society, but more than that, it’s a way for our community […]

The Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting the annual event and it has everything one would want […]
Talk about a real nail biter. Steve and I spent election evening between the Measure S camp at the Overtime Bar & Grill in Glendale and with John Drayman supporters across the street at the Hilton. Soon after the polls closed it was apparent Measure S was going to pass and the crowd over at […]
Where does one start? I guess by praising God that we are entering the final week of this torrid campaign season. I would like to first offer my thanks to those who have thrown their hat into the ring for city council or school board or community college. I’m sure that many of these candidates […]
Wow! What a busy time in the valley. I remember growing up when all of a sudden, after weeks of an empty calendar, everything seemed to happen at once. My mom used to say, “Feast or famine!” Last weekend was certainly a time of feasting. Saturday morning was spent at the annual Arbor Day celebration […]
As most of you know, I bragged that a couple of weeks ago I bought a new car – well, new to me anyway. It’s a 2000 convertible Toyota Solara and I lost no time in putting the top down, tying on my scarf and putting on my sunglasses (gifts from Mary O’Keefe and her […]
