Charles Woodhouse awoke early Saturday morning to the roar of rushing water. Debris was snaking down Angeles Crest Highway and spilling into his Arroyo Summit Drive cul-de-sac. Mud filled the street, overwhelmed his driveway and seeped into the house, Woodhouse said. But once the rain stopped, carloads of community members, most of them fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, began arriving to help. Armed with boots, gloves and shovels, more than 100 volunteers worked to remove mud from Woodhouse’s and his neighbors’ properties.

GLENDALE — For the first time in four seasons, the Flintridge Prep girls’ volleyball team made it to the CIF postseason. The stay was a short one, however, but still not enough to diminish the journey in getting there. “For us to make it back to the playoffs ... I think was a huge success,” said Rebels Coach Sean Beattie after his team fell to host Ocean View, 22-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-23, on Tuesday night in the opening round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3-A playoffs.

Next Thursday, families and friends all across the nation from Barrow, Alaska, to Key West, Florida; from Lubec, Maine, to Kailua, Hawaii; and all across the Crescenta Valley will sit down to feasts of turkey, mashed potatoes and, most importantly, pumpkin pie. This caloric excess will, of course, be in celebration of one of two uniquely American holidays, Thanksgiving (the other being 4th of July). Every year at this time I marvel that the mega-marketers still haven’t found a profitable way to commercialize this annual event.

Now this is what I’m talking about! This is what Montrose has wanted all along. And it isn’t down the Verdugo corridor or on restaurant row in the shopping park. It’s a block up the hill, away from the hustle and bustle, on the corner of Ocean View and Florencita. The new Ocean View Bistro took over the spot where Ocean View Bar and Grill resided for many years, and created a haven — a relaxing spot of peaceful elegance and amazing food. The place is bright inside and features a high ceiling lined with white crown molding.

The Glendale Design Review Board #1 on Sept. 4 approved a proposed redesign for an office building at 3501 Ocean View Boulevard, after complimenting architect Alen Melekian on the work he had done to redesign the structure. The building, former site of Bowman Cleaners, sparked considerable community opposition and an initial DRB rejection last May. The building totals 4,350 square feet, and is a single story structure with a canopy up front. Work was started on the project with a design review exemption, and then a stop work order was issued when community members raised concerns on a number of issues, among them the appearance that a second story was being added.
