Page 8 August 10, 2017 City Coucil from front page proposal is a draw. After the unanimous yes vote for the Frontier group, Councilman Pat Kearney asked if consideration for a hotel could be incorporated into the Rock & Brews design plan. The Council unanimously removed items two and seven from the consent calendar, regarding undergrounding of utilities and crossing guard services for area elementary schools, before approving the remaining 10 items. The sweeping motion included the authorization to solicit new bids for City heating and air systems; a three-year contract agreement with the City of Gardena to provide meals and case management for Lawndale senior citizens; and payment of claims in the amount of $2,142,889. The Council also postponed action on nominees for the annual Wall of Distinction. Inaugurated in 2016, the October ceremony will posthumously induct up to four Lawndale residents for exemplary service to the community. A closed session on labor negotiations for City employees was also postponed. The public safety report focused on Neighborhood Watch programs. Lieutenant John Burcher noted in his comments that these programs “have become the backbone” K.E. Shaughnessy 10.0 of many communities’ prevention efforts. Burcher said he is working with City Clerk Rhonda Hofmann Gorman to help establish watch groups throughout Lawndale. The officer reported no incidents of crime during the two-week reporting period. In public comments, a resident reported an obstruction compromising public property near her residence. She described a large cactus blocking the path of the sidewalk on 169th Street. Resident Steve Koontz also reported observing this natural barrier “over half the sidewalk.” Koontz reported shopping carts left near the Rosecrans Avenue and Burin street intersection. Mayor Robert Pullen-Miles reported on the recent Health and Wellness Fair sponsored by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke. He noted that over 500 students were on hand to receive backpacks, school supplies and health screenings. The date for the annual Lawndale Blues and Jazz Music festival was announced. The all-day fest will be held at Jane Addams Park, Saturday, September 3, at 11 a.m. The Lawndale City Council will hold its next regular meeting on August 21, at 6:30 p.m., in the Lawndale City Hall Council Chambers. • be a dad today.

The Dodgers were the World Series favorites before they won at the trade deadline. The acquisition of Darvish and Watson cements that favoritism, but also puts a certain level of pressure on a team to win when it counts for the first time in 29 years. — Asixlion@earthlink.net • By Adam Serrao Though it may be hard to follow a baseball team that is blacked out from most television sets in its own city, it’s not hard to realize that the Los Angeles Dodgers are having what might wind up being the absolute best season by any team to ever play the game of baseball. When last week’s trade deadline passed, that “best team” got even better. The Dodgers might not have had to make any moves at all to improve a team that already has a better record than any other team in the game this year. By acquiring Yu Darvish from the Texas Rangers and Tony Watson from the Pittsburgh Pirates, though, the Dodgers may have just cemented themselves a spot in this year’s World Series. Fans deserve to be somewhat skeptical of the Los Angeles Dodgers, especially since the team has made it to the postseason with World Series aspirations for what seems like an eternity now. Yet still, every single year the Dodgers disappoint their fans and fall short of what is, of course, the team’s ultimate goal of bringing a World Series banner back to Los Angeles for the first time since 1988. While a roster that may go down in history as one of the best ever is certainly no guarantee of a world title, enjoying the history being made along the way is certainly something that should not be taken for granted. New Dodgers starting pitcher Yu Darvish will undoubtedly become a part of that history and he immediately got off to a great start with his new team by pitching a seven inning shutout while striking out 10 batters last Friday night against the Mets. Acquiring Darvish was not a necessity for the Dodgers. However with Clayton Kershaw’s absence from the rotation, Darvish’s presence immediately gave the team another ace to lean on in the postseason. The four-time All Star was acquired by the team just seven minutes before the deadline--again highlighting the Dodgers’ flare for the dramatic that has followed the team around all season long. The Dodgers didn’t give up much for Darvish, either. Willie Calhoun was the biggest name to join the Rangers in the deal, but parting with a player in the farm system who wasn’t even a top three prospect was a small price to pay for someone of Darvish’s stature. “We got our Ferarri,” Dodger closer Kenley Jansen said of the deal. That Ferrari has increased the Dodgers’ odds of winning the National League West from 100 percent---where they already stood--to, well, more than 100 percent. The arrival of Darvish has also drastically increased L.A.’s chances of finally bringing home a World Series title. Another player who strengthened Los Angeles’ World Series odds was left-handed reliever Tony Watson. If the Dodgers had any holes on their roster whatsoever, it was at the number two spot in the starting rotation and in the bullpen with the need of a shutdown left-handed specialist. Darvish fills the void of the former, while Watson has stepped in to fill the void of the latter. Watson has been one of the best setup men in the league since entering the majors in 2011. In limited action thus far with the Dodgers, he has already shown an impressive ability to get the best hitters on other teams out--a skill that will certainly be needed come playoff time when the Dodgers look to eat innings in order to bridge the gap between their starting pitcher and Jansen. Darvish’s addition does more than just add another ace to an already loaded pitching staff. He also brings a right-handed quality pitcher to a rotation that is otherwise filled with lefties. “He seems like he just fits in perfect,” Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal said. “I was just happy that we got a horse--another horse--that we could fit into the rotation, so now you’re not seeing three lefties in a row. We knew we needed a righty starter.” Grandal wasn’t the only Dodgers player excited about Darvish’s arrival. “Just electric stuff,” Justin Turner gushed. “He’s got five great pitches. We’re excited to have him.” Jansen echoed Tuner’s sentiments. “Everyone 09CVZ0015 — Paper Doll was excited,” the Dodgers closer said. “Our goal is to win the 08-21-09 World Series, BW/magazine ownership wants to win the World Series, 7 10 so we’re all happy to have him here and see him pitch.” Absolutely nothing is guaranteed when it comes to playing the game of baseball in the month of October.
