Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
Named Norb Huber
A Hawthorne
Landmark Closes
It is with great sadness that I
share the sad news that another popular
small business in Hawthorne will close
their doors this week. Ted’s Donuts,
located on the east side of Hawthorne
Blvd. at 140th Street will be serving up
their last sweet treats for the last time.
Being right next to the Hawthorne School
District offices, for years Ted’s has been a
great place to grab a coffee, sit down and
read the newspaper and consume one of
those sugary, gooey, greasy, delicious donuts
or apple fritter, or bear claws, or maybe
a maple bar. I took my kids there many
years ago for a treat on the way to many a
Saturday sports event. Maybe, just maybe,
more people are looking at their waistlines
and passing on the sugar and looking at a
little less fattening treat. Maybe some are
passing on the donuts and going directly to
the cold ones.
Election Slate Finalized
Here is the list of candidates that will
appear on the ballot for our Hawthorne
city elections: Running for the two city
council seats that are up for election are
the two incumbents Angie Reyes English
and Olivia Valentine. They will be challenged
by local residents who have been active in
the city for quite a few years, Alex Monteiro
and Jason Gromski. For City Clerk the
candidates will be Rev. John Jefferson and
Holly Glen Homeowners Association president
Dr. Paul Jiemenez. For City Treasurer,
incumbent L. David Patterson will be challenged
Holly Park resident, Richard Ryan.
There will be several candidate forums for
our residents to hear directly from each of
the candidates. These will be held mostly
in the month of October.
Miss Ya
I had a brain freeze last week and was
unable to write anything stupid enough to
send out. I did have one of my loyal readers
miss me enough to email me and wondered
what had happened. To be honest I did miss
you all. I really do feel I have a special
connection with all 16 or so of you. I’m
just saying, all good things do come to an
end some time, (was this ever good?). Life
moves on. One of these days or weeks or
months I must end this ordeal. I’m like a
half dead cow that they put out to pasture
and just won’t roll over and die. With all
the crap on the ground, it’s hard to roll over
without getting soiled. There is nothing worse
than a dead, crappy cow.
Having a Cold One
Saves Lives
Here’s a good story from the Samantha
Schmidt, The Washington Post:
Jason Gaebel and Kwame Anderson
don’t usually cross the bridge over
Interstate 94 in St. Paul, Minn. But
this past Wednesday morning, for no reason
in particular, the beer deliverymen decided
to take a different route. After dropping off
a shipment of beer at a sports bar nearby,
Gaebel steered the truck onto the bridge,
crossing over the busy highway below. Then,
they spotted a man standing on the bridge’s
ledge on the other side of the fence. “Bro,
you alright?” Gaebel, the driver of the beer
truck, shouted out the window, as Anderson
filmed on his phone. “Come on this side,
bro. “Facing them, the man on the ledge
responded that he was going to take his own
life. Anderson cut the video, and called 911.
The dispatcher told him to hold off until
police arrived, but Anderson couldn’t stand
the wait. “I’m thinking it’s either I help this
guy or he’s going to jump. I gotta keep this
guy entertained somehow because if I wait
for police, things could be over.”Anderson
kept asking the man questions: Did he want
any food? Did the man want to eat something
with him? He replied that he wasn’t hungry.
“Do you need any money?” Anderson asked.
“Do you want to have a drink with me?”
Anderson asked. The man paused. “Yeah?
A beer?” Anderson pressed. “Maybe,” the
man responded. As police officers continued
distracting the man, Anderson rushed to the
beer truck, grabbing a 12-pack of Coors Light.
He brought the case of beer to the bridge’s
ledge, opened it, and told the man that if he
climbed down from there, the 12-pack was
all his. The man agreed, slowly retreating to
safety, where emergency responders placed
him in an ambulance and transported him
to a hospital. “We just talked a guy off
a ledge with some beer,” Anderson said.
“Beer has been bringing people together for
a long, long time,” Several of Anderson’s
friends on Facebook agreed. “Some people
just need an ear and a beer,” one person
commented. “We all learned a valuable
lesson today. Always keep beer handy.”
See, this is what I have been saying all along.
Having a cold one can save your life. We
all need more cold ones and more of Jesus.
No matter what is causing you anguish, grief,
anxiety or stress, remember whose you are,
a person loved by God and who wants you
to trust in Him. When all else fails, have a
cold one, by all means make sure you keep
one handy.
