Odds and Ends 19 Continued

I know I don't usually post on Sundays, but there are a few short points that have come up that I have found interesting.

First, here is the new logo. It looks like the old logo, but you can easily see where it differs. Only about two dozen buttons have been made with this logo, and I will have to get after the fellow who makes all the buttons and get him to get back on the ball.


A short blurb in today's Daily Breeze mentioned that LAUSD is now back on Bob's property doing things necessary to create their Draft EIR for a school nobody in the area wants built at the Ponte Vista site.

We may all disagree with what Bob wants to build at Ponte Vista, but we should all stand firm against LAUSD building a school to ease overcrowding at Narbonne anywhere south of P.V. Drive North. There are plenty of sites in Harbor City, Harbor Gateway, and even a few sites in Lomita where an 810-seat campus can be built and we all must fight alongside Bob and his organization to keep LAUSD out of Ponte Vista, in my opinion.

The R1 groups' Web site has an error currently on it. The main page of that site states that there are over "8,000" cards and signatures supporting keeping the zoning as it is at Ponte Vista. "8,000" may be truthful, but usually the Web master puts the more correct total on that site every week.

As of late last week, over 9,000 signatures have been gathered demanding that the zoning remain as R1, at Ponte Vista. The group is closing in quite handily at going for its FIRST 10,000 signatures.

Last March, when the first 3,096 signatures were turned in, I could not have imagined 10,000 folks would ever sign the R1 petitions. It was a mind-boggling number the folks were reaching for, I thought at the time. I don't know who will furnish the 10,000th signature, but I want to thank whoever it is, for believing that Ponte Vista needs to be kept as it is currently zoned.

I am trying to get more information about being what I must call, censored, on the Forum of Central San Pedro Neighborhood Council. I have had to make comment and re post the R1 group's recommendation of candidates for the July 10 election, on a forum for Habitat for Humanity. Let's see if that forum gets removed, too.

Please have a safe and sane Independence Day. I hope the noise, and illegal fireworks will be lessened down in the Highlands, even though it provides us with a light and noise show, every year.

If the folks down in that area still continue to blast off fireworks, I would suggest visiting the upper parking area of The Terraces to have a great view of all the fireworks throughout the area. it is quite something to see "bombs bursting in air" below you and off in the distance. The noise is unbelievable and you can sit in your car or watch the shows by the railing. Please, if you go there, do not bring noise making devices because it interferes with all the folks watching what folks are illegally doing from afar.

It is remarkable to me that when we watch all the illegal fireworks going off, we are celebrating a day where our country was beginning its incredible fight to provide for its own laws and regulations, away from a King. It seems so weird that we fought so hard and long to be able to break the laws we gave up so much for to give ourselves.
