Bits and Pieces 11

Just before I began this edition of Bits and Pieces, I read the filing by Mr. Jeffrey Lewis, a lawsuit seeking to have the rebuttal arguments changed and something much more important, in my view.

Mr. Lewis, a good lawyer is asking that a judge determine whether it is a fact that approval of The Marymount Plan, using Measure P would factually allow Marymount College's representatives to have municipal laws, in conflict with guidelines established by and solely for Marymount College become moot or be found to have been superseded by legal documents within The Marymount Plan and ballot measure P.

But let's not stop there, shall we?

Since the folks named on the Rebuttal of Arguments Against the ballot measure aren't really the folks who originally created the Rebuttal of Arguments Against and they were legally allowed to have persons' changed, we will get to find who will pay the attorney fees for the parties named in Mr. Lewis' lawsuit.

I have also asked, but have as yet not received any answers to my number of questions regarding who can pay legal costs of the parties named.

Would Marymount's legal representatives be allowed to represent the parties listed on the Rebuttal of Arguments Against or would those individuals have to 'go-it-alone'?

Might Marymount be required to obtain outside counsel because the lawsuit filed by Dr. Brophy was filed by the College's contracted legal firm?

I did not read if or who any damages derived from Mr. Lewis' lawsuit have any chance of being awarded to, but I think he should naturally receive the largest chunk if his lawsuit is successful and he did seek damages from the parties named in his lawsuit.

If it is good enough for Marymount's representatives to demand things, then I feel it is very justified that Mr. Lewis, the person who very likely knows that greatest amount of information about all of the issues related to Marymount's expansion plans.

There are still many weeks until the election. Maybe we need a new poll to see what everyone thinks the total number of lawsuits will be filed before the election and then after the election.

It is the third Monday of the History of the now open Amalfitano Bakery.

What seems like ages ago, I began commenting on all the new eateries that were being planned to open in R.P.V., along Western Avenue.

Saladish won the race to offer good food at an even better value.

Amalfitano Bakery was the final one of the five to open its doors.

Pavich's Croatian Pizzafe may not legally be within the R.P.V. city limits and I still have to check on that. But it certainly is close enough, if it isn't actually within R.P.V.. It's only 1/2 of a driveway away.

The twins, neither serving sushi, of Asaka Grill Express and Denny's have found a way to coexist with shared parking lots and neither one of them seems as crowed as Amalfitano Bakery usually gets.

As I was piloting our Element along Western Avenue this morning I noticed some water leaking out of a manhole cover on the southbound side of the Avenue.

Things like that scare me. I have been in hundreds and hundreds of manholes, but I suspect the manhole cover that has liquid coming out of it is not for the phone company, but perhaps for the Sanitation Districts' uses.

Any way one looks at it, whether it is Electric, phone, water, sewer, or any other manhole usage, H2O is not supposed to come out of it and head onto the highway.

I don't think it is from a storm drain failure because the roadway is not dipping. But anytime repairs become urgent along Western is anytime to begin to think about alternative routes of travel.

No backpacks!
No backpacks?

Yes, no backpacks at Miraleste Intermediate School this school year.

I believe the other, smaller intermediate schools banned backpacks some time ago and they are on a very different environment than Miraleste is.

If you didn't already know, Miraleste Intermediate School sits on the site of the former Miraleste High School.

The high school was the original construction so changing the physical plant from a high school to an intermediate school was no problem except for the students who generally have shorter legs than former students had.

The opposite is true if you think about sending your child to what is now Palos Verdes High School.

That facility was not originally built as a high school and the suffering continues with its physical plant and size, or lack thereof.

Eastview Little League apparently gets to stay atop Knoll Hill in San Pedro.

Whether the league had any opportunity or wish to play at our city's Eastview Park is now moot, at least for a while.
