Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
named Norb Huber
VOTE YES ON HH
It’s a no brainer. The City of
Hawthorne is not bringing in enough
revenue to meet the demands for city
services. We are running a deficit.
It is not due to mismanagement or
corruption. It’s due to the lack of tax
revenue generated within our city. We do not
have big corporations that sell products that
generates tax revenue. So, what is Measure
HH? It is simply a very small sales tax
increase on non-food items. If you buy a
big screen television at Costco-Hawthorne
and pay $400 retail price, then the increase
in sales tax would be simply $3. For every
$100 you will pay 75 cents more. Most of
our customers at Costco and Home Depot
don’t live in the City. So we, the residents,
will only being paying for only 40% of the tax
increase. There is no question that the added
income will help our city. Use your brain,
vote YES. Help Hawthorne move forward.
EGOS, PRIDE AND RAT POISON
When things are written about us or said
about us that are on the overly complimentary
side, we tend to start getting a little
overconfident, prideful and maybe even cocky.
We think we are somebody who’s brilliant.
The University of Alabama football coach,
Lou Saben, called the newspaper hype about
his team “rat poison”. His players read the
stuff written about them and start believing
that they are unbeatable. He wants them
to stay hungry. He doesn’t want their egos
to get in their way of winning a national
championship. We all like to feel good. We
all like to hear good things said about us. We
all have this thing called pride. The problem
is when our pride gives us the impression
that we are invincible. People with money,
power and big egos think they can get away
with just about anything. It’s amazing how
that small little three letter word “sex” has
been the ruin of many powerful men. We
read in Proverbs 16:18 - “Pride goes before
destruction, and a haughty spirit before
a fall.” Being a humble servant, helping
others, would be in my estimation, the exact
opposite of a prideful, haughty persona. The
role models we should have our kids look up
to are the great people who have made an
impact through servanthood. John Wooden
used to take the broom out of the closet of
his UCLA gym and mop the floor before
practices. His job was to win basketball games,
but his passion was to impact the lives of
his players. I guess the question is “how are
we living?”. Are we full of pride or do we
see every day as an opportunity to live for
others? The greatest example of servanthood
that we have is our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, who laid down his life
for us. Heck, if someone loves
me that much, the very least
I can do is to serve Him and
love others. I ask you if you
“Have found your broom?” Do
you see yourself serving others
and making an impact in your
world? When you do find that
broom and after a long day of
sweeping, you will really need
to go home, kick back and have a cold one.
The more we sweep, the more thirsty we get
to keep on sweeping.

DODGERS LOOKING GOOD
Don’t look now but the Dodgers may be
well on their way to the World Series and to
winning that World Championship that has
eluded them the past 29 years. Wow! If a
championship does come home to LA, there
will finally be a reason for Dodger fans to have
several cold ones. It’s been a long drought.
Now, the Dodgers have to win two more just
to catch up with my Giants who have won
