This week marks the one year anniversary of the Crescenta Valley Weekly. Let me say that this past year has flown by.
For those who don’t know, the CV Weekly was born of the ashes of the Crescenta Valley Sun, a noble undertaking purchased by the Los Angeles Times and subsequently closed down like the Leader [...]
We are a busy people.
Whether for work or play, it seems that every minute is scheduled or filled with something that just has to get done. I used to take comfort that in my retirement I would finally have the chance to do nothing. I asked my mother-in-law about this, thinking she spends her days [...]

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!

This Sunday, May 30 is my 50th birthday and [...]
Usually I write this column on Monday morning, reflecting on activities enjoyed over the weekend or plans for the near future.

Congratulations to the Montrose Parade Committee! What a marvelous event we shared last Saturday. And, despite the cold temperatures (we Californians
are such babies!), there appeared a good number of folks who turned out for the annual event. Special thanks are extended to Steve Pierce, parade
chairman, who pulled it all together. We opened the office window [...]
