INSIDE SCOOP
As volunteers in the city’s infrastructure committee spent hours last
week discussing the finer points of restoring block walls, Huntington
Beach City Councilwoman Shirley Dettloff admired their dedication to one
of the least glamorous causes. As a member of the Amigos de Bolsa Chica,
she could think of better ways to spend an evening.
“There are no Amigos de Sewers,” she said. “God bless them.”
BRINGING GOOD CHEER
The Edison Bell Choir gave the Huntington Beach Union High School
District Board of Education a holiday performance it won’t soon forget.
The 11-member crew rang their hearts out to such Christmas favorites as
“Jingle Bells” and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” bringing a festive
mood to the sometimes dull meeting.
And parents and district staff were tappin’ their toes.
In thanks, the board presented the choir with a plaque.
A PLEASURE -- ALMOST
During his farewell speech as mayor, Fountain Valley Councilman John
Collins said he “enjoyed working with almost all” of his City Hall
colleagues. Afterward, he clarified his statement, saying he said
“almost” not because he hadn’t worked with everyone, but because he had
butted heads with a few. He then looked around the room and jokingly
said: “Now I hope people aren’t going to come up after this and ask, ‘Was
it me you were talking about?”’
