Alma Spreckels • Robert Dubac's Male Intellect • Laura Jane • Hillcrest Town Council

Or the local NBC 7/39, ABC 10 or KUSI 9 for coverage of tonight’s Hillcrest Town Council meeting as Diana Bradrick, Chief Deputy Recorder/County Clerk explained the process of adding same-sex marriage licenses in SD County. So far 500 appointments have been made with 120 couples reserving a time on June 17th, the first day that gays & lesbians will be able to legally marry in California. The cost is $50. Only 30 appointment slots remain at the downtown office for June 17th. The Clerk’s office can also swear in a friend or relative to officiate the ceremony. Ms. Bradrick clarified that their office has a no-opt-out policy, meaning all personnel will process applications and perform ceremonies.

Neighbors introduced themselves and expressed what the HTC means to them and the direction they would like to see the organization take. Talk of a resurgence of the Crime Committee, better outreach to the community and working with our neighboring communities were mentioned. Community Service Officer David Surwillo reported that the SDPD is working with Universal Hillcrest to provide better loading zones at Cleveland & Vermont. Government representatives from Congresswoman Susan Davis, City Council District 3, State Assemblymember Lori Saldaña and the Mayor’s office gave brief reports. After HTC committee reports from Development and Litter, residents enjoyed an ice cream and cake social.

Saturday, June 14, 2008	A sculpture of Alma Spreckels (“Big Alma”) tops the obelisk in San Francisco’s Union Square. This replica stands across the street in Macy’s. Considered by many Bay Area historians to be the “great grandmother of San Francisco,” the heiress to the fortune of sugar baron Adolph Spreckels (and sister-in-law to SD gazillionaire John D. Spreckels).
Friday, June 13, 2008	The nonprofit organization, Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest Library, acknowledge the delay on their website, “it may be years before the City can set a construction date.” However, they continue to be optimistic about plans for a new library. “When city finances improve, it will be time to actively campaign for the construction of our new Mission Hills/Hillcrest library building, planned for the corner of Washington and Front Streets. Stay tuned, the Friends are closely monitoring developments.”
Thursday, June 12, 2008	Just a few days remain to pick up HillQuest’s fifth edition (at the right). The blue & purple covered HQ6 will begin distribution on June 19th (a week earlier than usual).
Wednesday, June 11, 2008	Don’t miss Robert Dubac’s funny sequel This great one-man show is running through July 13th at the Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza (your ticket will include six hours of free parking). Robert Dubac’s “Male Intellect: The 2nd Coming!” is the long awaited sequel to “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?” starring Bob Dubac in a tour de force performance that is hilarious and provocative. Dubac again plays a crazy cast of characters, but this time he’s not just trying to figure out what women want, he’s also diving head first into the hypocrisies of society in search of “the bigger picture.” If you like your satire served up with a clever, intelligent edge; if you want to hear a voice that speaks as though it originated from inside your own frustrated head; don’t miss Robert Dubac’s “Male Intellect: The 2nd Coming!” Performances: Wed-Fri 8pm, Sat 5pm & 8pm, Sun 2pm & 5pm Tickets $35-$40

Monday, June 9, 2008	“As a former chairman, appointed on six different occasions by six different City Councils and four different mayors, I can see where the CCDC has lost some of its proficiency and directions. The delayed reports and audits are unacceptable. The failure to address the ‘city loans’ and when they will be repaid and from where the funds will come and what effect early repayment would have on future opportunities is troubling and controversial. It requires immediate attention.” — Peter Q. Davis addressing the slowness of accounting and reporting by CCDC
