Summer 2011

News • Activities • Entertainment

Dear Resident,

As we enter spring and approach summer, it is time once again to get ready for a host of events and activities in Palmdale for the entire family to enjoy.

From the open air market-like atmosphere of our Thursday Night on the Square events and the enjoyable summer evenings listening to live music at the Palmdale Amphitheater, to the fun-filled moments at DryTown Water Park and a host of performing arts offerings at the Palmdale Playhouse, there is always something to do in Palmdale.

In addition, we have the finest shopping and dining opportunities in the entire region, from our east side businesses on the 47th St. East corridor, to our central Palmdale Boulevard restaurants and shops, to our Antelope Valley Mall/10th St. West destinations. We are indeed fortunate to live in a great City, where our crime rate is dropping

precipitously, and opportunities in aerospace and education abound.

Yet, the lifestyle we enjoy so much is being threatened by the State of California. Proposed legislation in Sacramento would eliminate all redevelopment agencies and put a halt to all the growth and progress we have seen through redevelopment.

Projects such as the new Palmdale Regional Medical Center, Antelope Valley Mall, senior housing, Palmdale Auto Mall, Macy’s, Palmdale Hybrid Power Plant, AERO Institute, Fairway Business Park and many, many others are the result of redevelopment. The unprecedented and unbelievable action for the State to eliminate redevelopment is a travesty. You, the residents, are the ones who paid your hard earned tax money to the redevelopment agency that is using that money on some very good and very important projects.

Instead of dealing with its fiscal problems by making cuts internally to staff or programs, the State of California intends to balance its budget on the backs of cities. They are proposing to abolish redevelopment agencies operated by California cities and counties and distribute the assets, which we believe is, in part, in retaliation for passing Proposition 22, which prohibited state lawmakers from taking money from redevelopment agencies to cover state budget deficits.

“ I would pay $100 to have a group play at thePalmdale Amphitheater such as Rod Stewart, Pat Benetar,Heart or Styx.”

Many people indicated that they would be willing to pay for premier seating at City concerts. That is something we are looking into. To bring a nationally known group to perform is a very costly endeavor and in this economy not feasible. Perhaps through sponsorships and promoters, concerts with premium seats available will happen.

“ The youth concert orchestras are the best. The music iswell-chosen and the presentation feels like an extended Palmdale family. 4 stars!”

The Palmdale Playhouse is all about community. Its mission is to provide a place for the enjoyment of professional and community-based theatre, to offer an opportunity for the citizens of the Greater Antelope Valley to volunteer their time and talents to the arts, and to serve as a learning center for people of all ages and abilities to explore the many crafts that come under the umbrella of theatre. See pages 8 and 9 of this issue for all that the Playhouse has to offer in the upcoming months.

Join us on Tuesday, May 3 at 8:30 am in the Palmdale City Council Chamber, 38300 Sierra Highway. Topics will include current theft and fraud trends, burglary and robbery prevention, how to address incidents of vandalism and loitering as well as how to identify counterfeit currency, credit cards and travelers checks. Info: 661/267-5170.

Planned Non-Operational Status Vehicles

Vehicles which are placed on Planned Non-Operational status (PNO) with the California DMV are subject to citation and may even be towed if left parked on city streets. California law requires vehicles to be currently registered if they are driven, towed, stored, or parked on public roads or highways. Non-operational means that the vehicle will not be driven, towed, stored, or parked on public roads or highways for the entire registration year. When a non-Operational status is set on the vehicle record, the registration expiration date is left unchanged. If at any time, the vehicle is operated or parked where it may be subject to citation, then full registration fees and penalties for that year become due, and the vehicle may be cited or towed for registration violations. Info: 661/267-5436.

“FOR SALE” VEHICLES ONCITY STREETS

Due to increasing complaints from residents, safety hazards, and impediments to mail delivery, trash collection and utility maintenance, display of “for sale” vehicles is no longer allowed on the frontage road adjacent to Ave. S between 25th St. East and 30th St. East. For more information, call 661/267-5181.

Worksource Center Relocates

The South Valley WorkSource (SVWSC) Center has moved to its new location,38510 Sierra Highway, on the corner of Ave. Q-6.

The Center’s focus is to provide workforce development services to the community. Through a network of outside partners, the Center brings job seekers and employers together in one place. It is designed to reduce unemployment and underemployment by linking job applicants to appropriate careers, providing training in relevant skills and establishing a resource center whereby people can find new employment opportunities.

The location became available when the Youth Library was consolidatedinto the Main Library as part of the City’s cost reduction efforts to deal witha tough economy.

“This move doubles the available space for SVWSC as they work to connect employers and employees, andsaves money for the City that would have been expended on a lease,” said City Manager Steve Williams.

For more information on SVWSC, please call 661/265-7421,or visit www.cityofpalmdale.org/business/svwsc.

• Always read directions and use common sense.• Have an adult present.• Use outdoors only — away from buildings,

vehicles, dry grass and other flammable objects. • Light one at a time, then move quickly away. • Keep others at a safe distance.• Never point or throw fireworks at another

person.• Never alter or take apart fireworks. • Do not give fireworks to young children under

any circumstances.• Have a bucket of water handy for emergencies

and for dousing misfired and spent fireworks. • Never attempt to relight or fix malfunctioning

fireworks.

To protect your pet on the Fourth of July, take these precautions:• Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks

displays.• Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered,

quiet area. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company.

• Consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety your pet may experience during fireworks displays.

• Never leave pets outside unattended. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn’t leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.

Landscape program. Open to individuals ages 18 and older and to community organizations, the program allows residents to “adopt” city landscape areas for care and maintenance.

“In the last two weeks of July, I had the very fortunate privilege to have my daughter Leah enrolled in the Level II class of swim lessons at McAdam Pool.

Leah’s first class was at 8:30 am taught by Kat and Chrissy and in the 5:30 evening class taught by Jenna and David. Before starting the swim lessons, Leah

was not very confident with being in the water and always had a tendency to hold on to the side no matter how deep the water may be. From the time she started the lessons to the time it was completed, she wanted nothing else but swim lessons because of how much fun she was having and how she found a new fond of learning and being in the water. I remember her being upset the two lessons she had to miss. Please give my greatest appreciation and thanks to those four lifeguards, and an extra kudos and ‘thank you’ to Kat for giving me updates when she could about my daughter’s progress and addressing any

concerns that I might have had with Leah’s swimming.”

Respectfully and Much Thanks, Joe Moore

If you love Journey, you’re in for an experience! As the lights go down the audience comes alive in anticipation of hearing the Journey songs they cherish – heart-pounding, hard-hitting rock and roll hits and signature ballads. EVOLUTION THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TOJOURNEY show true respect for Journey’s music while bringing the highest level of musicianship to the audience, emphasizing the music and energy of Journey. Voted Top Tribute Band (2006-2007) on the Greg Kihn Show 98.5 KFOX!.

2010 marked the 40th Anniversary of classic-rock favorite, AMERICA. Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell met in the ’60s and harmonized their way to the top of the charts with their signature song A Horse With No Name. America became a global household name with an impressive string of hits. Forty years later, they are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. Their best-known tunes — I Need You, Ventura Highway, Don’t Cross The River, Tin Man, Lonely People, and Sister Golden Hair — were cornerstones of 1970s Top 40 and FM rock radio.

The SOUNDS OF THE SUPREMES’ will deliver a fantastic serving of Motown classics, stylish choreography and unrivaled glamour as they perform chart topping hits like You Keep Me Hanging On, Stop in the Name of Love, Where Did Our Love Goand Love Child. London’s What’s On described their show as “a non-stop bravura performance of immense vitality recreating perfectly the frenetic style and sound of the original lineup.”

THE RISING is cut from the worn denim of blue collar towns, and they’ve paid their musical dues playing dive bars and juke joints. Performing songs from Greetings From Asbury Park through Working On A Dream, they deliver each song with the same power, heart and soul as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. C’mon up to The Rising — the houserocking, earthshaking, heartstopping tribute!

Close your eyes and he sounds just like Garth Brooks. Open your eyes and you realize that Dean Simmons gives a dead-on “Garth” performance, nailing the walk, the talk, the laugh and Garth’s talent for truly entertaining. He’s performed in “Legends in Concert” in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and across the U.S. and Canada. Y’all c’mon down to hear The Thunder Roll!
