Unclassified Info: Linking shoppers and protesters
It’s time to apply a little Gary logic to a few issues around town. I see a couple of former Pacific BMW employees got busted for allegedly taking a sports car off the lot for a joyride around Glendale. If I were judge and jury on that case, I&...Tags: Judges, Arts and Culture, Crime, Law and Justice, Walmart, Auto Racing

Unclassified Info: Facing the elephant in the parade
As some of you may know, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) gathered last week near City Hall to protest the design of our beloved and sacred Rose Parade float. It seems the group, which has long advocated for the rights of animals, is...Tags: Democratic Party, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Arts and Culture, Circuses, Rick Caruso

Unclassified Info: It's difficult to imagine the point
Since my criticism of our Rose Parade float concept was fodder for this column on several occasions last year, I thought it only fair to get myself out of bed at 3:00 a.m. so I could get out onto Orange Grove Boulevard for a firsthand, close-up look at...Tags: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Bob Hope, Arts and Culture, Festive Events, KTLA

Let 'em fly on New Year's Day
People that attend the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade are not the only ones who appreciate and enjoy the Stealth bomber fly-over (“There is a time and place for everything,” Jan. 11). My family and I look forward to going outside to...Tags: Arts and Culture, Festive Events, New Year's Day, Military Aircraft

Looking forward to a stealth flyover
Roberta Medford writes (“Keep bombers away from Rose Parade”, Dec. 18) to criticize the U.S. Air Force’s flyover of a B-2 stealth bomber in Pasadena’s Rose Parade. In contrast, I applaud and look forward to it playing an...Tags: Muammar Gaddafi, Arts and Culture, Boeing Co., General Electric Company, Manufacturing and Engineering

Help out or shut up
Throughout 2011, the Glendale News-Press was riddled with articles regarding the Rose Parade float selected for the city of Glendale. It was difficult for the funding to be pulled together, and there was strong opposition against the theme. At the time,...Tags: Horse (animal), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Arts and Culture

Ron Kaye: Glendale man has a rosy future
Some people might see the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day as so 20th century — early 20th century — but not Dave Weaver.
The longtime Glendale city councilman has volunteered for 18 years to work long hours with hundreds of...Tags: Politics, Arts and Culture, Social Issues, Colleges and Universities, Education

In Theory: Should Christians buy into Halloween?
Q. Halloween is upon us again, and with the annual traditions of trick-or-treating and pumpkin-carving in the air, many Christians are looking to alternate ways of celebrating the holiday. Because of its pagan origins and emphasis on death, celebrating...Tags: Arts and Culture, Mergers, Acquisitions and Takeovers, Judaism, Christmas, Human Interest

Glendale Rose Float Assn. has had enough
This is a letter to explain why the Glendale Rose Float Assn. has elected to disband. We were formed in 1978, after Proposition 13, with the intention of voluntarily raising funds to help offset the cost to the city of Glendale’s float in the...Tags: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Auction Service, Finance, Arts and Culture, Festive Events

Unclassified Info: The float shows no imagination
Since it looks like we are lumbering down the path toward building our New Year's tribute to — whatever — I have but two more observations on the matter. After this, I vow to put this topic aside for the remainder of 2011, barring any...Tags: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Forests, Arts and Culture, Natural Resources, Economy

Unclassified Info: Imagine all the money . . .
I’m not a big traditionalist. Nor am I prone to let sentimentality get in the way of progress. So it will come as no real surprise that I am in favor of Glendale not funding a Rose Parade float and severing its 98-year tie to the annual event. I...Tags: Forests, Motorcycling, Arts and Culture, Natural Resources, Manufacturing and Engineering

Float volunteers' hard work is unappreciated
For many years, the Glendale Rose Float Assn. has been working hard to make sure a float representing our city is part of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Rose Parade. This association was founded by interested citizens of Glendale to raise money to...Tags: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Arts and Culture
