March 5, 2015 Page 3 Hawthorne Happenings News for the ‘City of Good Neighbors’ From City Clerk Norb Huber State of the City Luncheon Friday, March 13th has been selected as the date for our annual State of the City luncheon to be held at the Memorial Center. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and the program starts at 12 noon. Mayor Chris Brown will give us an update as to what is going on in our city. In addition, the selections for the 2015 Hawthorne Hall of Fame will be announced during the program. Each year, the luncheon brings business and civic leaders together to celebrate the city of good neighbors. For more information please contact the Chamber of Commerce. Pancake Breakfast Recap We served a total of 220 people last Saturday at the inaugural Hawthorne Hometown Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the Hawthorne Historical Society. The rain held off and it turned out to be a great day for all who came over for the hot cakes. There were residents from all parts of Hawthorne and a few of our HPD patrol officers stopped by as well. Many people who had not seen the Hawthorne Museum before got an opportunity to tour the facility. We look forward to making the pancake breakfast an annual event. Ten Reasons We live Hawthorne A recent LA Times article indicated that California has not lost it’s golden shine with most residents of the state. It made me think of a few reasons we live here in Hawthorne. Here is my “off the top of my head” list: Cold weather every where else in the USA 1. The beach is down the street 2. Family lives here 3. Close to LAX 4. Many jobs close by 5. A lot of colleges and universities to attend 6. Entertainment galore 7. Short drive to the desert or to the mountains 8. Mexican food 9. Sunshine a lot of the year Golf Tournament Stil Has Openings The annual golf tournament sponsored by the Hawthorne Parks and Recreation Foundation will be held on Monday, March 31 at the Coyote Hills Golf Course in Fullerton. There are still some openings for foursomes or single golfers. If you would like to participate, please contact Dick Huhn at 310-643-9157. Stadiums Who is going to win? It’s Inglewood vs Carson in a race to build their NFL football stadiums. Each city has the land to construct the structures. Which city will have theirs built? Which plan will dry up just like so many other proposals in the past? Or are both proposed football stadiums going to be built within 10 miles of Hawthorne? If both are built and we have two games being played on the same Sunday, we might have over 100,000 fanatic fans traveling our freeways and surface streets to get to the venues. This would bring business to our city. Our hotels and restaurants should benefit. There would be construction and venue jobs available to those looking for a job. The downside would be the congestion caused by the additional cars on our area byways. Too Toxic To Trash Time to clean out your garage of all those old paint cans and pesticides. There will be a household hazardous waste and E-waste roundup held on Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. over at the parking lot of the Betty Ainsworth Sports Center at the corner of El Segundo Blvd. and Doty Ave. • Obituaries Patricia Ann Evans, 1934 – 2015 Patricia Ann Evans, 80, of Nauvoo, IL, recently from Hawthorne, California succumbed to Alzheimer’s and returned to her heavenly home on Monday, March 2, 2015 at 9:00 AM at her home in Nauvoo. She was born to Roy and Elizabeth Gideon Gilbert on September 25, 1934 in a small Navy hospital at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in Colon, Panama. Survivors include a son, Kenneth Ruff, Jr. of Campbell, California; two daughters, Sharon Cohen of Nauvoo, Illinois, and Kelly Moxley of Lisle, Illinois; five grandchildren, Jenifer Culwell, Jillian Powers, Kelly Ruff, Karlie Oosterbaan and Andrew Oosterbaan; ten great-grandchildren, Emma, Landon, Lily, Malia and Ryland Culwell, Daniel, Faith and Ian Powers, Bryce and Macy Nitcher; a brother, Robert Gilbert; and a sister, Caryl Thornton. Pat was preceded in death by her parents. As a young child, Pat lived the life of a military family with frequent relocations until the family settled in Laurelhurst, Seattle, Washington. Pat’s fondest memories of her teenage and college years include her involvement with the Jimmie Rainwater Riding Academy in Kirkland, Washington and drag racing the Chrysler Town and Country convertible that her father bought for her. After graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1952, Pat attended the University of Washington where she was a proud member of the Sigma Kappa sorority. Pat enjoyed a long and fulfilling career in the field of computer programming and training with FMC and Flying Tigers eventually retiring in 1999 from FedEx in Hawthorne, California. She was privileged to travel the world, including Australia, Holland, Greece and Israel, where she was baptized in the Jordan River. Pat was a strong member of Hope Chapel Hermosa Beach for over 25 years, where she discipled other women through a weekly minichurch held in her home. She is remembered there for sharing hundreds of personalized heart shaped notes with spiritual messages of encouragement. For reasons of health, Pat left her beautiful Hawthorne home in 2013 and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois to be cared for by her daughter, “Shari” and son-in-law, Bruce Cohen. While a resident of Nauvoo, Pat faithfully embraced the restored gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and joined with them through the waters of baptism. Pat was an educator at heart. Her “students” describe her as inspiring, gracious, kind, and patient. She always had time to listen sincerely, to provide insight and encouragements, no matter the need or concern. She is dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she has been taken home to that God who gave her life. Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2015 after 12:00 noon with family meeting friends between 1:00 and 2:00 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 2:00 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. Burial will follow at the Nauvoo City Cemetery.
