National Night Out at Farnsworth Park

Capt. Steve McLean ready to get dunked.

I had so much fun at this event--and as someone who came of age in the '60s under the ignobly noble LAPD Chief William H. Parker, that's saying a lot.

Capt. McLean of the Altadena Sheriff's Station was a good sport, taking the hot seat in the dunk tank.  I got some great video, which is posted on Altadena Patch.

Read all about the event and the participants on Patch.

Catching up...Here are my latest stories!

I've been pretty busy the past few days, covering four stories in five days and writing them up as quickly as I can.  More on that process in another post...for now, here are the latest links:

Do you know we have a real live Walt Disney Imagineer living in Altadena?  His name is Joe Rohde and he spoke at the Pacific Asia Museum on Friday night.  I covered it for Tim Rutt's altadenblog.  It's a fun read, he's a very interesting guy.

On Thursday, I covered an important meeting for the residents of Altadena, especially those on the west side.  Sheriff's deputies and community members rolled out a plan to improve communication and relationships with the Altadenans.  It appeared in altadenablog as well.

I think Dan Abenschein of Altadena Patch is trying to make a naturalist out of me. In addition to Wednesday's Sierra Club meeting (see post below), he sent me on a hike up Rubio Canyon on Sunday as part of the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy celebration.  The conservancy just purchased the last piece in a 41-acre parcel that will preserve the watershed and natural wonders of Rubio Canyon.

I  hope you'll enjoy my latest efforts to cover this great community!  Let me know your thoughts!
