EDCO and the City of RPV are sponsoring a free document/paper shredding event on Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 9 a.m. to noon at the RPV City Hall Parking lot located at 30940 Hawthorne Boulevard. Rancho Palos Verdes residents (EDCO and UWS residential customers) can safely dispose of personal documents since the documents will be shredded on-site, leaving NO possibility for theft or loss.
Electronics waste will also be collected at the same time and place. Furthermore, free mulch will also be available to residents while supplies last. Please bring your own empty trash cans and/or sturdy yard bags and shovel.

While there was no 'big' announcement that Marymount is going ahead with physical construction according to the approved Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project, the plans and drawings that will be reviewed are part of The Project's first Phase, and I am delighted that something is heading for reality, according to The Project.
Yes, there will be detractors to these drawings and parking space expansion. Look for some to argue that the college's grading plans are not sufficient.
I have been and will remain a strong proponent of The Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project, as I have written and spoken out about, before.
The Project was approved several years ago after almost 10 years of discussions, stops and restarts, arguments and ultimately, the elimination by Marymount College officials, of their demand for on-campus student housing.
The more vehicles associated with those attending or visiting Marymount's Palos Verdes Drive East campus that are not parked on public roadways, the better, I feel.
I hope this signals a true turn towards working much more on The Project and that college officials really are willing to work towards rebuilding Marymount's campus, according to The Project's goals and guidelines.
As for my personal 'work' with a Catholic University, I am very proud and pleased to let folks know that I will again volunteer my services, experiences and talent to a bunch of great students at Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and T.V.
This weekend I will be shooting my FOURTEENTH project for both undergraduate and graduate students, since last August.
I also have worked on student projects for a growing number of schools as I continue to build my background/extra/featured player resume with both volunteer and paid work.
Tomorrow marks the two-week anniversary of our welcoming Tessa into our home.
Tessa is a mixed mutt, mostly rat terrier that we found at the Harbor Animal Shelter. She picked us rather than we choosing her, it seems.
She will be 5 months old on April 26 and we have not had a real puppy in our home for so long that Tessa is teaching us what it is like having a young one around.
She has been 'fixed', licensed, received all her shots, tagged and loves to walk in our neighborhood in RPV.
When Summer rolls around, we plan on taking Tessa to both Huntington Beach Dog Beach and Long Beach's off leash beach and we never really considered the now defunct dog beach that was considered near Frump's place.
Yes, it will be a drive for us to get to and from both off leash beaches. I feel it is worth it and our city has so little sandy-ish beaches, it probably is for the best that dogs are not allowed on what little we have to offer our residents and others.
I have still found nothing regarding the possible or probable release date for the 'new' Environmental Impact Report for Ponte Vista at San Pedro.
The last study I did about that project and its backers is that iStar Financial continues to sort through its bankruptcy as it tries to emerge from it to continue whatever plans remain.
If and when the EIR comes out, I hope it shows that the 'Proposed Project' includes a number of dwelling units significantly fewer than the 1,135 originally suggested by the new management team.
Craig Huey...oh, fooey!
