Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy

Winter Wonderland
Spectacular
The Hawthorne Parks and
Community Services Department
of the City is sponsoring a “Winter
Wonderland Spectacular” for kids of
all ages on Thursday, December 21st from 6
to 9 p.m. at Memorial Park. There will be a
snow slide, winter play area, carnival games
and prizes. Santa will be there for photos
with the kiddos. Hot cocoa, food and much
more are all on the schedule. The cost is $5
for ages 1-11 years and $7 for 12 years and
older. So mark your calendars. There will
be a 21 day countdown for Santa to arrive,
so be on the lookout for Santa sightings
throughout Hawthorne.
Hawthorne Business Expo
Council member Olivia Valentine is
spearheading the event once again this coming
year to help our local businesses succeed. The
date is set for January 24th at the Memorial
Center. We look forward to having even
more vendors there to provide excellent
information and offer services to allow our
small business owners an opportunity to not
only survive but to thrive. (That sounds pretty
good for a “wantabe” columnist.)
Another “Hawthorne Story”
Life is full of stories. Every one of us
have stories to tell from our past. Some
of us have lived in Hawthorne for a few
years, so we have “Hawthorne” stories to
look back upon. Maybe it was the day we
got street sweeping tickets on all three of
our cars parked out on the street because
we thought it was a holiday and they were
not going to give out tickets. Maybe it was
when we went to the Hawthorne Plaza mall
and bought some Christmas presents at the
May Company and walked over
to the movie theater and watched
a Star Wars movie. Anyway,
eight years ago on December
7th, 2009, I was sworn in as
city clerk at the city council
meeting held that evening. That
was an emotional day for me.
Not because of being sworn in
but because of what took place
early that morning. At that time my nativity
business was operating out of my garage and
I had loaded up my 2002 Tundra with nativity
boxes to take to FedEx that morning. I started
my truck up in my driveway and went back
inside because I had forgotten something.
I came out of the back door and low and
behold someone was backing my truck out of
the driveway and taking off with it. I started
to yell and tell him to stop. I ran down the
street chasing after him. My neighbor was
going to work and told me to hop in his car
and we took off after the would be truck
bandit. I dialed 911 and called to ask for
police help. We raced up Inglewood Avenue,
followed him over to the 405 freeway, and
after 15 minutes of pursuing him he lost us
in traffic on the 405 going north. The 911
operator told us to stop chasing him. Still
no sign of police cars. I told my neighbor
to exit the freeway and we returned to my
neighborhood. Hawthorne PD finally caught up
with us to take my report as I was standing in
front of Rite Liquor. Two nights later, I got
a call asking if I was the owner of a white,
Tundra. Luckily, authorities had interrupted
the stripping process before it had gotten too
far. I got my truck back. The question that
we all have had ever since is what was the
reaction of the bandit was when he tore open
our boxes to find Jesus in the box instead of
big screen televisions. The Lord works in
strange ways. Now you know the reason
why I started having cold ones. •
