WALKING SIERRA MADRE……The Social Side By Deanne Davis 

This past week has been kind of like 
Maurice Sendak’s “Where The Wild 
Things Are.” Seriously! First we had 
an election, which generated some 
wild behavior, but ended well as we 
now have three splendid new City 
Council Representatives: Rachelle 
Arizmendi, Denise Delmar, and 
Gene Goss. Congratulations! We 
are confident you will do your best to 
represent the citizens of Sierra Madre 
and keep us all so happy that we’ll echo 
Max from Wild Things… 

“Oh, please don’t go—we’ll eat you 
up—we love you so!” 

Speaking of eating… SUBWAY IS 
OPEN!! AND, more good food 
news: The beer is in at Vicious Dogs 
2! They’ve got five kinds including 
Heineken, Sierra Nevada, Blue Moon 
and if you really want a glass of wine, 
you can bring in your own bottle and 
for a mere .50 corkage fee, enjoy a 
glass of your favorite Chardonnay or 
Merlot with your slaw dog, or your 
Papi El Guapo! 

Back to the wild things… saw this 
really great sign somewhere in town, 
“The Deer Deli Is Closed!” And the 
resident has enclosed all their roses 
in green garden mesh to protect their 
blooms from our local Wild Things. 


My walking buddy, the trail hiking 
John, and I saw several deer last week, 
dining and relaxing in the shade just 
the other side of Santa Anita. They 
seem to have deserted their usual 
haunts in the canyon for the moment 
but they’ll be back! 

More wild things… our Mt. Wilson 
Trail Race winner, Sharon Pevsner, 
posted on Facebook: “So, a friend and I 
decided to head up into the mountains 
to play today. A deer ran right in front 
of us! He was a beauty. We continued 
on our journey and stopped to listen to 
a new safety device I purchased when 

Inside this week: 


we heard a distinct and very loud 
growl that sounded like it was coming 
from above us. It was the “hair raising” 
on the arms moment when we decided 
that we needed to back away and get 
around a corner. We then heard the 
animal dash down the mountain cross 
the trail and go over the other side. 
After we managed to put our hearts 
back in our chests, we run into a baby 
bear...minus its mother! The only thing 
missing today was a crazy man and a 
rattlesnake!” 

Sharon will be running in the Boston 
Marathon this coming Monday, April 
21st, Patriot’s Day, where, hopefully, 
she won’t encounter anything wilder 
than the 26,000+ runners who will 
be competing. I suspect there will 
be more runners than ever before as 
Americans will not let terrorists stop 
us. 

Happy Easter! Rejoice! He is risen!
