Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
named Norb Huber
Voters say YES on HH
A landslide took place in Hawthorne
this past Tuesday. Where in the heck
is there a hill in Hawthorne for it to
slide, you might ask? The landslide
took place at the polling booths and
through the absentee ballots that were
cast in favor of Measure HH. Close to 70%
of the voters gave Hawthorne the YES that
was needed to keep the City headed in the
right direction. Less than a penny for every
dollar spent in sales taxes is a small price
to pay to keep our Police, Fire and our City
services operating at full force. The morale
of our city employees has been lifted. The
City Council can now move ahead with
plans to make Hawthorne a viable city to
compete for jobs and businesses to come to
our fine city. The Measure will give everyone
something to be happy about. Unlike the 12
cent gas tax that recently went into effect,
you and me will probably not even notice
what HH tacks onto our purchases. Just
know that the City is better for it and let’s
move on to making a better City of Good
Neighbors. Thank you Hawthorne for making
the right choice.
Celebrate Veterans
and Their Holiday
The public is being invited to attend a party,
a Veterans Day party over at Dana Middle
School this Saturday night beginning at 7
p.m. The Veterans Commission of the City is
sponsoring a ceremony to honor our vets, but
following the formalities, they are planning
to have live music, dancing, food and a real
fun celebration to make thing lively for us
citizens who want to celebrate and enjoy a
good time with those who have served our
country and given us the freedoms that we
take for granted. If you can’t make the party,
be sure to thank any vets that you know.
Christmas is Coming
KRTH will begin playing Christmas music
this Friday. Costco has had Christmas
decorations for sale for the past month.
The big one is coming. We haven’t had
the big Turkey Day yet, but the holiday of
all holiday’s is here. The Hawthorne Parks
and Community Services Department of the
City is sponsoring a “Winter Wonderland
Spectacular” for kids of all ages on Thursday,
December 21st from 6 to 9 p.m. at Memorial
Park. There will be a snow slide, winter play
area, carnival games and prizes. Santa will
be there for photos with the kiddos. Hot
cocoa, food and much more are all on the
schedule. The cost is $5 for ages 1-11 years
and $7 for 12 years and older. So mark your
calendars. There will be a 21 day count down
for Santa to arrive, so be on
the lookout for Santa sightings
throughout Hawthorne.
Wiseburn
High School
Congratulations to our
friends at the Wiseburn School
District upon the opening of a
dream building. The Wiseburn
High School has been a goal
for decades. The District has
wanted to have a facility to offer nothing but
the highest educational program around the
area to their students graduating from their
middle school. With the development of
the Da Vince’ Charter Schools, the District
moved into becoming one of the most
desirable for secondary students to attend in
the past decade. Families from outside of
the Wiseburn District has been placed in a
lottery to see who would be the lucky ones
to attend the free, public high schools that
offer private school education. Graduates
from Da Vince’ Science have been accepted
by some of the most competitive universities.
They are producing many engineers who are
coming back to area companies to work and
live right here in the South Bay. The new
building will also house the District offices
and the Charter offices. Congrats to all who
have made this great school a reality.
Safe at Church?
Mass shootings and terrorist attacks are
happening now anywhere, at any time and
for any reason. You would think that you
would be safe inside your house of worship.
You would think that God would protect those
people who have come to worship Him. That
is not always the case. We live in a world
of sin. Bad things happen to good people.
Is God still in control? How could God
allow death to come to innocent children
and their family members? We search for
answers. In our deepest times of distress
and worry, we find the peace of God to be
there. God IS in control. He sent his Son
to die for the sins of the entire world. God
loves us. We cannot understand the whys
of earthly tragedies, but we lean on God’s
promises in His Word to comfort us. Jesus
is our Good Shepherd. He leads to us to still
waters. He restores our souls. Even though
we walk through the valley of the shadow
of death we will fear not, his rod and staff
they comfort us. No cold one can give me
that kind of peace. No gun can protect me
like that. We all live in this sinful world,
we all can put our trust in God and we all
can have that peace. Now, since we have
all the small things figured out and we are
at peace with the world, God, and all of
mankind, now we can enjoy that cold one.
Peace and Cheers to all! •
