Easter Fun Found in the Foothills

Easter Fun Found in the Foothills

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 […]

The Wind in my Face

The Wind in my Face

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 […]

Getting my German on

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. Prom […]

Oh, how time flies

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 […]

Finding time to relax

“Reminiscing” about the weekend

From the desk of the publisher by Robin Goldsworthy This past weekend was sweltering! I don’t look forward to seeing my next electric bill as we had the air on for most of the two days. I even went for a swim in our pool, something I generally don’t do because the water is generally […]

Filling those lazy days of summer

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 […]

Gearing up for fireworks

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 […]

Thinking of and thanking our departing school staff

From the desk of the publisher By Robin Goldsworthy As we approach the end of the school year, which for some has already arrived, it’s with a bit of melancholy that I reflect on those changes that are taking place within our district. While the teachers union and the school board battle it out, debating […]
