Bits and Pieces 6

It may be only a matter of sometime during the next 4 days that the "OPEN" neon light will be lit at Amalfitano's Bakery or so I truly hope so.

I haven't been able to confirm an opening date but please be assured that when I learn it, several of my blogs will get a posting to read.

While it should be mandatory for the first purchase by me be a cannoli, because they are so wonderful and so well loved for generations, I may opt for a chocolate chip cookie as the first treat to taste.

But if I walk in and find that they are selling cookies with chocolate chips and any nuts of any kind, well readers, those are NOT chocolate chip cookies and I will turn towards a cannoli, straight away.

Chocolate chip cookies with nuts is like chili with beans, neither food is real and should be avoided, IMHO.

The Board of Education of PVPUSD approved a steering committee's request to begin seeking contributions to put stadium lighting at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, along with a new speaker system.

I don't really have a dog in this fight. Eastview residents still have their property taxes for public school education going to LAUSD and we can't vote in PVPUSD elections even though if it was not for the fact that approximately 80% of our school-age kids attend PVPUSD schools, there would probably be only one, overcrowded high school in PVPUSD and Miraleste I.S. could be closed.

This is at least the third attempt to have permanent light standards installed at the high school in the past 50 years.

With all but about 8 nearby residences being in Rolling Hills Estates, where the high school is actually located, the remaining hundreds of homes surrounding the campus are in Rancho Palos Verdes.

By now, lots and lots of folks have viewed the following letter or heard or read its contents.

I wonder IF anything will be different in the way representatives of Marymount campaign for the ballot measure.

I did read the article where Dr. Brophy made comments as he remained on vacation until August 1. I wish he had shown enough civility in the past to believe he and his flock will become civil.

Whether we will see anymore attempted attacks on members of the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council, Planning Commission, City Staff, or representatives of groups formed to oppose adoption of the ballot measure, remains to be seen.

It would be wonderful to not have to offer any complete truths rather than having to reveal any suspected deception in the IDEOT offerings from Marymount's representatives.

As long as IDEOT offerings come up, please visit this blog for the complete truth, even if it doesn't look for the opposition.

If Dr. Brophy is allowed to address the City Council at its next regular meeting, I think it would only be fair if representatives of Concerned Citizens Coalition/Marymount Expansion and Save Our City III were provided equal time each to address the Council members.

I also hope the City Council or some other entity challenge Dr. Brophy to a series of debates that would allow voters to receive important information to help them decide which way to vote on November 2.

I am quite sure that informed voters will vote the measure down for a good number of reasons and because the measure is simply unreasonable on its face, now that the City Council has approved every single building request brought before it, by Marymount's representatives.
