Glendale News Press

I am writing to ask Greg Hiscott (“Enforce the noise laws,” April 7, Glendale News-Press) if I can use his letter in our Burbank Forum page. We will make a few changes, like substitute Burbank for Glendale, the Village for the Americana. We don’t have the Beeline buses, but we do have loud cars, bikes, window-down SUVs, helicopters and loud, smelly fire department vehicles driving through the Village and up East Palm on their way back from coffee breaks. In Burbank, I don’t think leadership, including the police, is aware of noise problems.

Ex-columnist to roast himself Will Rogers, a former columnist for the Burbank Leader and Glendale News-Press, will ?roast? himself in a one-man show on Thursday to benefit the Burbank Temporary Aid Center. ?Will Rogers: Confidential? will focus more on him than the political figures and controversies he?s covered over the years, accompanied once more by music director Bryan Miller, who will start his part of the show at 7:30 p.m. Hors d?oeuvres and no-host cocktails start at 6:30 p.m., at the Colony Theatre, 555 N. 3rd St. , Burbank.

I heard the debate between Rep. James Rogan and state Sen. Adam Schiff and could not believe what I heard. Schiff came right out and lied to the listeners of this debate. Schiff lied by saying that Rogan never supported trigger locks to be included in fire arm sales. In fact, Rogan voted to provide trigger locks in the sale of firearms. Schiff's pattern of lies and deceit just continue. Remember when Schiff sent out a mailer saying that Rogan had never helped the Armenian community?

Leader looking for football writers The Burbank Leader is looking for writers to cover local high school football games beginning in the fall. Perspective correspondents will cover the three local prep teams ? Burbank, Burroughs and Bellarmine-Jefferson highs ? as well as teams from the Glendale and La Crescenta areas. Writers might also be able to cover additional sports teams. Writers will need to compile complete game statistics and write stories about the contest on deadline.
