A fire erupted at 04:00 am today at the Sun Valley Waste Management Counstruction & Demolition sorting facility.  It took firefighters over 5 hours to quench the fire, and an additional 3 hours to extinguish it.  It required the LAFD Dozer Unit to demolish the piled rubbish so that the firefighters could lay a stream of water and foam on the smoldering debris.

It is with great regret that we announce the death of Marvin Hamlish at 68 yesterday.  At the Pasadena POPs presentation last month, Hamlish was seen to be having trouble moving about.  No one could have thought that he was ailing.

Hamlisch is best known for the song he wrote for Barbara Streisand "The Way We Were," In a music career that spanned over four decades, Hamlisch won every major music award: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony, and three Golden Globes.

In his career, Hamlisch composed the music for more than forty motion picture scores, which included “The Way We Were” and “The Sting.”  Hamlish’s signature music was created to compliment the movie, and not his music.

In his Broadway productions, Hamlish created the smash hit “A Chorus Line” which still goes through my mind when times are stressful.

Michael Krajewski a Guest Conductor, will conduct La Dolce Vita next week at the Pasadena POPs.

WORDS FROM A DISCOURAGED PATRIOT

WORDS FROM A DISCOURAGED PATRIOT 

as told to David DeMulle', Editor of The Foothills Paper

……..Cindy and Mark will have competed their campaign to get rid of 
all independent thinkers not under their control. Everyone knows 
this is the power grab game finally being played out right before 
everyone's eyes.

Dan McManus knew it, and kept them both in check. He always looked 
my way and made sure I was heard, even though Mark always made sure 
my mike was off. (It was a running joke. You may not have 
noticed. They kept you out of things.)

Everyone who sat near me on the Board was always astonished to find 
their mikes never worked. It is why I always made sure I had the 
wireless one. Think back on it. Nothing that happening in there was 
an accident. All my bills and money requests strangely never made it 
to the agenda. You know nothing of the games they played for 
years. Why do you think so many brilliant people left in disgust? 
Were is Elaine Brown? Steve Crouch? They used to fight them all the 
time! They wore them out, as they are me.

Cindy and Mark have finally created a bland white bread board in an 
image and likeness of themselves.

The city knows. I have already heard even this week from a current 
city employee, that the STNC is now a former shadow of itself, and 
soon will be a total joke. Now the city will no longer have to worry 
about the famous STNC.

It is becoming a nice shiny quiet polite empty shell -- one saying 
just the right things to keep just the right few in power.

It will finance fireworks and parades and do nothing else of 
substance that will rock their political boat.

Just what certain local petty powers want.

Cindy once said to me: "The purpose of the STNC is to serve the City 
Council member, and not the public!" She actually said this when I 
had an idea for helping the homeless before it got too big a 
problem. We argued furiously. She never spoke to me again -- except 
for curt nods.
