The eastern part of the city of Hawthorne is known as Moneta Gardens today, however it could have been part of an incorporated city named for former County supervisor Kenneth Hahn in the early 1960’s. The efforts to name the unincorporated area after Mr. Hahn got bogged down in legal complications and failed to receive the needed support at the County level to be established. In December, 1962, Hawthorne annexed the Moneta Gardens area into the city’s boundaries, thus ending any efforts to honor the popular supervisor. DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS This Sunday we spring ahead by pushing our clock radios ahead one hour. A lot of our electronic gadgets are programmed now to step ahead on their own. The tough one for me is to figure out how to reset my truck’s clock. My memory is so bad that I forget the procedure from time change to time change. Anyway, we lose an hour of sleep but gain day light after dinner. There will be more light to work outside around the house, more light to play golf longer in the late afternoon hours, and more light to drive safely home after work. Now that our winter has pasted us with our recent rain storms, we can get ready for the Spring and Summer weather and enjoy our Southern California sunshine. WHAT DID YOU GIVE UP FOR LENT? This past Wednesday was Ash Wednesday which signals the start of the Lenten season in the Christian church. As it is a time of repentance, the practice of “giving up” something has been a tradition especially in the Catholic churches. Some people do some “fasting” by reframing from eating chocolate or sweets. Some people forgo eating out at restaurants and donate their money to a charity. It’s not so much what we give up or what we do or don’t do, but the fact that we see our need for repentance and look to God for forgiveness. It’s not our actions but God’s love for us that make us right. GOLF TOURNAMENT COMING UP The 25th Annual Hawthorne Parks and Recreation Foundation Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, March 24 at Coyote Hills Golf Course in Fullerton. There are openings for golfers. If your company wants to enter a foursome, or if you are an individual wishing to play and support a good cause, then contact Dick Huhn at 310-643-9157.
