HOT STUFF!

“We’re havin’ a heatwave, a tropical heatwave...” I was going to pose the
questions as to who sang it first, who made it more famous the second time,
in what movies, and who wrote it, but all you have to do these days is look
it up on the internet - way too easy! For those of you who do, check out the
lyrics - pretty racy stuff for 1938 and even 1954! I’m not gonna give away the
answers though... you never know when QuizMistress Deanna might want
to use ‘em in her Tuesday Night Trivia at Cafe 322! I suggest you do your
homework. Trivia Night details below and photo of the hostess attached.

BARGAIN BOOK SALE

AT SIERRA MADRE LIBRARY

The Friends of the Sierra Madre Library will hold a Bargain
Book Table Sale inside the Library, Monday, October 18 through
Saturday, October 23, during the Library’s open hours. This
month’s featured topics are Sports, Fiction, Art, Biographies,
Specialty and Children’s books. Books are replenished daily, and
are only $1.00 each.

For more information call (626) 355-7186, or visit our website
at www.sierramadre.lib.ca.us. The Sierra Madre Public Library,
located at 440 West Sierra Madre Boulevard in Sierra Madre,
is open Monday through Wednesday from Noon to 9 p.m.,
Thursday and Friday from Noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.

“Native Plants for Foothill Gardens”

The San Gabriel Mountains Chapter of the California Native Plant
Society (CNPS) will host its “Native Plants for Foothill Gardens”
annual native plant sale on Saturday, November 13, from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Drive,
Pasadena, CA 91107.

A variety of California native plants and wildflower seeds will
be available for sale, including many that are hard to find in most
nurseries, and all are appropriate for gardens in the Los Angeles Basin.
Knowledgeable Chapter members will be on hand to answer questions
and offer recommendations, such as which plants will attract birds or
butterflies to your home garden. Only cash or checks will be accepted at
the plant sale, and CNPS members will receive a discount.

Most residential gardens can be adapted for native plants and this is
an excellent opportunity to buy natives at reasonable prices. The use of
natives in the garden is a good way to adapt to water restrictions brought
about by years of drought and a growing population. Drought-tolerant
native plants will survive summers on less water than most garden
plants. For optimal plant establishment in Southern California, it is best
to plant natives during the cool, rainy months of fall and winter.

A free native gardening workshop will be held at Eaton Canyon Nature
Center on the following Saturday, November 20, at 3:00 p.m. The Chapter’s
website at http://cnps-sgm.org has further information about the plant sale
and the gardening workshop. CNPS is a statewide non-profit organization
of amateurs and professionals with a common interest in California’s
native plants. The mission of CNPS is to increase understanding and
appreciation of California’s native plants, and to conserve them and their
natural habitats through education, science, horticulture, and advocacy.

back at his life through the lens
of some of his most famous
works.

Duffy Hudson is an
accomplished actor, director,
scriptwriter and filmmaker,
having performed on
Broadway and off-Broadway
for more than fourteen years.
He has acted in several feature
films and directed more than
300 theatrical productions.
His film company, Cinncinatus
Motion Picture, recently
completed a feature
film, Tattered Angel,
starring Lynda Carter.

this event.

Interested students should
check with their teachers
before the program date
to ensure that credit will be given.

filled out by the student and signed
by Library staff, will be available
following the performance.
