Ken Robin remembers walking his dog in Los Feliz about four years ago when a stranger came up to him and asked if he plays tennis and Ping-Pong. When he said he did, the man, Marshall Pura, replied: "Then I've got the game for you. " Robin, who was living in the Bay Area at the time, was just in Los Feliz for vacation, but Pura still picked him up the next day and drove him to the Glendale YMCA to play a game of pickleball. "I didn't know what pickleball was. I didn't even know what Glendale was," Robin, a retired attorney who has since moved to Los Angeles, said this week after finishing up a game of the sport that's been around since the 1960s, but has been increasing in popularity over the past decade.

Iva Carrico, winner of the News-Press Woman of Achievement in 1992. In my opinion, she should win the News-Press Woman of Bigotry in 2002. After reading about her ignorant opinion at the recent City Council meeting, I, being an Armenian, born and raised in America, am appalled by her words of ignorance. Armenians make up a great part of the Glendale community, and make it the beautiful city it is. Carrico said that "Armenians are the evildoers"? It seems as though she's the evildoer in many people's eyes now. I'm very happy that Rafi Manoukian is the new mayor, and I'm sure that he'll make a lot of great contributions to the Glendale community.

It is a well-known understanding in the Glendale community that the Greggs qualify as entrepreneurs. The definition of an entrepreneur is: "A person who organizes, manages and assumes responsibility for a business or other enterprise." Why would the city of Glendale be obligated in any way to compensate the Greggs for having chosen to develop something that clearly is not for the good of the community or area and expect the taxpayers to pay them a "profit" for not developing it. As entrepreneurs, they "bet on the come and the come never came."
