News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy

Pizza In The Par k
I received the following from Jason
Gromski, president of the Ramona
Neighborhood Association: “I wanted
to let everyone know that the RNA is hosting
our annual picnic on Saturday, August 4th
from 11 am until 2 pm. This year we will
be having Pizza In The Park. Pizza, sides,
and drinks will be provided for free. This is
a great opportunity for Ramona Neighbors
to have a fun day in the park.” Thanks Jason
for the info. The RNA picnic is always a
great time to gather as neighbors at Ramona
Park. A long time ago, I was president of the
RNA. I had fun organizing the first movie
in the park event and several picnics. Then
I made the move to City Clerk and had more
fun trying to keep the City Council in order
during my 8.5 years of clerking. Life can be
fun no matter what position in life you find
yourself, although it’s tough to beat being
retired as far as funness goes.
The Filing Perio d
is Still Open
There have been several people pull papers
for each of the open seats for the upcoming
Hawthorne city election to be held this
November but there is still time to file to
run. The filing period will end on August
10th for all positions except for City Clerk
which will end on August 15th at 5 p.m.
Here is a list of people who have pulled
papers so far: For City Council: L. David
Patterson, Olivia Valentine, Angie Reyes
English, Jason Gromski, Alex Monteiro,
and Timothy Hagerty. For City Treasurer:
L. David Patterson and Ryan Richard. For
City Clerk: Dr. Paul Jimenez and John L.
Jefferson. It’s not too late to get involved
and run for a city office.

Hall of Fame Inductee and long-time local
businessman Jerry Flory. The name of Jerry
Flory is synonyms with Little League in the
South Bay. For all you baseball aficionados,
come out to hear how Jerry went from the
backyard sandlot to being inducted into the
Hall of Fame playing for the Hawthorne
Hustlers. A business meeting will follow the
lecture with a light agenda. The public is
welcomed to our open meetings. The hours
of operation for the museum are 11 a.m. to

There will be music, food and artists there to
demonstrate their talents. The Hawthorne Art
Complex is located at 13040 Cerise Avenue
in Hawthorne. For more information go to:

Pic kle Ball
Okay, I’m getting older. I can’t run as fast
as I used to. Many of the games I used to
play require a lot of agility. So, I got my
first pickle ball racket recently. What in the
heck is pickle ball? It’s a game played like
tennis only on half the size of court. The
rackets are solid about the size of a racket
ball racket. The ball is a whiffle ball. Pickle
ball has become popular with older folks who
can’t run as much anymore and still want
to get some exercise. I’ll let you know if I
can keep up with the older set. I think the
closest pickle ball courts to Hawthorne are
located in Manhattan Beach across the street
from Pollywog Park.
Readership Count
Each week I get people emailing me saying
that they have not been included in my
17 total loyal readership count. They claim
that they have been depending upon weekly
column to lift their spirits each and every
week for the past 20 years even though
I’ve only been writing this for the past eight
years. What qualifies someone to be a “loyal
reader”? It is certainly not my ol’ lady who
has no clue as to what I write about. She is
too busy in her retirement to waste her precious
time reading my junk. Does a person
living in El Segundo, Chico, Colorado, or
Rancho Palos Verdes qualify? I may very
well have more “outsiders” reading this than
Hawthornites. Does my mother-in-law count
as a loyal reader when my column is read
to her in an old folks home? She usually
doesn’t have too much good to say about her
son-in-law’s garble. Come to think about it,
I have never ever really done much in life
to impress my mother-in-law. My ol’ lady
has tended to take after her for the past 39
years, Linda has tolerated me, for which I
am grateful. Regardless, whether you love
me, hate me, tolerate me, or think I’m full
of crap, I value you as a “loyal reader”,
friend, and co-partner in this earthly journey
called life. The old saying says that if you
have one good friend in life then consider
yourself fortunate. Since I have 17+ loyal
reader/friends, I am super blessed.

Renovations and Roadways Keep
the City of Inglewood Building
By Haleemon Anderson
Inglewood City Council gave its blessing for a
sustained increase in construction projects, having
recently approved funding for road repairs,
a residential condominium and a development
agreement with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
The road repairs affirmed for funding at
Tuesday’s meeting include Imperial Highway
from Van Ness to Prairie Avenue, and North
La Brea between Florence and 64th Street.
These large-swath roadworks will be funded
by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability
Act of 2017. Improvements at Imperial already
commenced and La Brea repairs are set to
start this month.
According to Public Works Director Louis
Atwell, the City of Inglewood is eligible for over
$1.9 million in SB 1 funding. Stretches of
Centinela Avenue and South Prairie will also see
repairs, to begin in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
The Council addressed public complaints
about the condition of roads, acknowledging
that many Inglewood streets had been in
disrepair for years. Mayor James T. Butts said
there’s no comparison between now and the
last seven years.
“We are light years ahead of where we used
to,” said Atwell. “We are slurry sealing the
streets right now. It’s a lot more than we’ve
ever done.” He also credited the current council’s
role in directing staff to take advantage
of state and federal funding. “We were losing
millions is federal and state funds because they
weren’t able to get projects done. The Council
makes these decisions and allocates money to
public works.”
The Council also moved forward on a
proposed 20-unit residential development at
113-133 West Plymouth Street. The deal calls
for developer Ward-Schurr, LLC to fund a
third-party environmental impact study for the
City’s review, at a cost of $8,138. The location
is a 29,000- square foot parcel.
The Council additionally met in a special
meeting last Thursday to approve a development
agreement with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In
the deal, the non-profit will acquire and renovate
a parcel owned by the City at 101-105 S. La
Brea. The newly designed building will house
the Phil’s youth orchestra program. The City
will turn a $1.75 million profit on the deal and
will retain parking jurisdiction and the right to
use the building for its own sponsored events.
In other action this week, the Council approved
an application for incentives to fund
the purchase of electric vehicles. Public Works
Chief Superintendent Harry Frisby emphasized
that reducing vehicle emissions is a priority.
“Mandatory air pollution reduction is needed
now,” he said, noting the AQMP provides a road
map of how to meet the expected 45 percent
reduction. If awarded $150,000 in Mobile
Source Air Pollution Reduction (MSRC) funds,
the City will provide a matching amount of up
to $606,000 to buy three electric vehicles (two
trucks and one car) and a charging station.
In Council comments, George Dotson, District
1, announced a mega-block party on Aug. 24.
Councilman Alex Padilla, Dist. 2, announced
next Tuesday as National Night Out, in support
of the Inglewood Police Department, on City
Hall grounds from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Councilman Ralph Franklin, Dist. 4,
noted the tangible amount of infrastructure
work the Council and staff have
accomplished in the past year. He urged the
community to recognize that and “be part of
the solution.” Councilman Eloy Morales, Dist.
3, said, “There’s no question how much we’ve
improved.” Morales announced the Taste of
Inglewood this Sunday, saying, “It’s one of our
best-kept secrets.” The event will take place
at Inglewood High from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Butts reported on the transit scoping meeting
and plans to connect Market Street and the
coming Florence Green Line Station to the
entertainment district under construction at
Prairie and Century. The mayor said he hoped
the transit vision will be a catalyst for further
mass transit throughout the region. “Inglewood
is transforming into a city that leads,” he said.
“I’m honored to serve with a council like this,
and to have the pinnacle of my career be here
with these residents of Inglewood.”
The Inglewood City Council meets every
Tuesday, unless otherwise noted, at 2 p.m. in
the Council chambers on the 9th floor, Inglewood
City Hall. •
