5 Things You Need To Know: Bow Hunters, Christmas Tree Recycling, and Texas Hold 'Em

1) A week after a man and two boys were spotted just west of Chaney Trail with bow hunting gear and just a few days after was seen in the same area with bow hunting gear, local activist Lori Paul found an arrow on private land near the Altadena Crest Trail east of Rubio Canyon. The man and two boys, who said they did not know they were not supposed to be there with that equipment, were asked to leave the area by Altadena Sheriff's deputies and complied. Residents and deputies are still looking for Clay, who many believe illegally hunts wildlife out of season, including bears, too close to public recreational and residential areas.

2) The Pasadena Educational Network is hosting its first ever at the  later this month. But tickets are going fast so if you want to be a part of this event you should make your reservations now. You can join the Hamilton, Longfellow, McKinley, San Rafael, Webster or Willard table, or reserve your own table for ten. Individual tickets are also available.

3) Still have that wilting Christmas tree in your house? Take advantage of LA County's tree recycling program, which ends January 15.  Residents in unincorporated areas can leave their trees on their curb on their regular trash collection day. All ornaments, including tinsel, decorations, and metal and plastic tree stands must be removed from the tree before it can be left at the curb or turned into a collection site.

4) Altadena historian Michele Zack will be about how illnesses were driving western immigration between the Civil War and the 1920s, using Altadena, Sierra Madre and Pasadena as examples, at the Huntington Westerners monthly meeting on January 15. Advanced reservation is required. Please see the attached invitation.

5) Today is Tuesday which must mean it's time for the Coffee Gallery's weekly , which is free and open to all. Performer sign-ups begin at 7:45 p.m. and the laughs begin at 8 p.m.
