Opera Tales Comes To La Mirada Library |
|
|
Supervisor Don Knabe
today announced that the highly-acclaimed Opera Tales program will
soon be returning to Fourth District County Libraries. Opera Tales
is a LA Opera program that introduces children and families to the
world of opera at local libraries. Supervisor Knabe established the
partnership between the LA Opera and the County of Los Angeles
Public Library, and provided funding to bring Opera Tales to
libraries in the Fourth District.
This year, Opera Tales celebrates the 150th anniversary of Giacomo
Puccini’s birth. The program highlights opera’s combination of story
and music, and four singers from the LA Opera will sing various
arias and act out key scenes from the stories. The stories to be
read and performed are from the works of Puccini, including The Girl
of the Golden West, Turandot and Gianni Schicchi.
County Libraries in the Fourth District that will host Opera Tales
are:
- Diamond Bar Library –
Monday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m.
- Hacienda Heights Library – Tuesday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m.

Renovating Fire Station in La Mirada
 The
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the
first phase of a project that will renovate fire and
lifeguard stations throughout the County.
Renovations are needed in over 90 of the County’s
fire and lifeguard stations to meet code
requirements and give female employees privacy when
sleeping, dressing, and changing. Twelve facilities
will be renovated in Phase 1 of the program,
including Fire Station 49 in La Mirada.
Preventing Graffiti Vandalism in La Mirada
Supervisor
Knabe in partnership with Helpline Youth Counseling,
the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the
Cities of Downey, La Mirada, Norwalk, Santa Fe
Springs, Whittier, and Unincorporated Whittier
launched the Aware Teens Against Graffiti or A.T.A.G.,
which is an innovative delinquency prevention
program that targets first time tagging and
vandalism offenders between the ages of 9 to 15 and
their parents. The weekend-long program focuses on
the parents receiving an intensive two-day
skill-building training, and the youth offenders
participating in community service projects and
group discussions while being supervised by law
enforcement. |
