Traffic on Buena Vista Street and Empire Avenue
Buena Vista construction to worsen commute
By: Shelley Rizzotti
Considered some of the worst roads in Burbank, Buena Vista Street and Empire Avenue are undergoing resurfacing construction which will tie these roads up until early August, reports suggest. Both roads were rated “very poor” during a citywide survey of roads in 2005. Stretching from Jeffries Avenue to the alley south of San Fernando Blv, this is the final phase of the $824,000 project. The funds are coming from 2 places — $600,000 from city redevelopment funds and the second from state gasoline-tax revenue.
Most of Buena Vista construction will be complete by July 24th where Empire Avenue will remain open. The final touches on Empire Avenue will take place through next week during the late night, early hours.

A Life Dedicated to Spreading Happiness
By: Shelley Rizzotti
A true Fairy Godmother passes away at the age of 93 peacefully at her home. She has been a pillar in the Burbank community stemming from volunteer work that dates back to World War II. Most people associate Mary as the inspiration for Disney’s animated “Cinderella” Fairy Godmother, and wife of Ken O’Connor, Disney’s renowned artist…but she should also be remembered as a devoted volunteer. Her accomplishments were well spread throughout her life.
Among her contributions was the involvement as a school board member, her role in leadership for Burbank’s Tournament of Roses as well as being part of the Friends of Burbank Library and Historical Society. One of her dearest accomplishments was being a key player in the reopening of the Burbank Starlight Bowl in the early 1990’s. The Mary O’Conor Family Center carries on her life lessons in that they offer educational enrichment programs in addition to child care services. Her life was spent volunteering to help others which lives on through individuals who follow in her footsteps.

Relay for Life of Burbank
From the American Cancer Society
By: Shelley Rizzotti
Each year Burbank takes part in this great event! It’s a chance for all to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, remember loved ones we’ve lost to the battle, and fight back against this disease by participating and making contributions.
This event runs from 9am Saturday May 15th to 9am Sunday, May 16th. This year it will be held at Johnny Carson Park, (400 So. Bob Hope Drive in Burbank) This tradition has been going strong since 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, Washington, circled a track for 24 hours, covering over 83 miles, raising $27,000 for the American Cancer Society to show his support for his patients that battled the disease.
Teams of people camp out and take turns walking or running around a path. Each team is asked to have a participant on the track at all times during the event. Relays are 24 hours in length; this represents the reality that cancer never sleeps. It’s a great way to raise money to help fight cancer in your community. The Opening Ceremony takes place at 9am Saturday with the Survivors Lap to follow. An inspiring tradition is the Luminaria Ceremony at 9pm Saturday night when everyone comes together to pay tribute as they walk in silence through the path lined with candles lit inside bags filled with sand, representing the people touched by cancer. The Fight Back – Closing Ceremony is held at 8am on Sunday.

The Faithful, The Feisty, The Ferral
Outdoor Cats Ready For Duty 
By: Shelley Rizzotti
We’ve all seen the signs ‘Will work for food.’ Feral Cats at the Burbank Animal Shelter literally will.
Cats that have not been socialized around humans can not be adopted out as house pets, therefore, when trapped and brought to the shelter, they have only one option-Relocation.
The Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter (VBAS) fund a program wherein we will transport our undomesticated cats to places where they will be cared for. Suitable homes include barns, stables, industrial sites and residential yards.
Outdoor cats require minimal care. They must be fed once a day and have some form of protective housing in which to escape from inclement weather and predators such as coyotes.
The VBAS provides support and advice as to how to keep the cats safe and healthy.
In return the cats provide an invaluable service to their adopters by keeping rodents at bay. Having cats on your property is a natural deterrent to rats and mice.
Keeping cats around your home is a much safer solution to pest control than poisons, and is a much more humane choice than traps. With a low adoption fee of $58, cats are also a much less expensive option.
For more information on how to work together with the VBAS to help feral cats please contact: Anne Macleod 818-469-3937 cal-mac@pacbell.net or visit our website www.basv.org
