The Journey’s Program
Sumac Elementary School…
By: Sheri Karp
is offering a new program for the PRE-kindergartners.
This is for our pre Willow and Yerba Buena children. It
is for the children that are on the age cusp for kindergarten, a bit too
young for kindergarten and a bit too old for pre-school, they turn 5 between
July 1-Dec.1st. Sumac and Lupin Hill had the program last year and it
has now been added to White Oak Elementary in Westlake.
It is scheduled from 8:00-1:00 M-F and they are preparing them for kindergarten rather than another year of pre-school. Last year was the first year and the parents
are raving about the program. After a year in the Journey’s program, most
students will enter traditional Kindergarten although some may be eligible
for 1st grade. It is open to all Las Virgenes families. It is just another
way our schools are working to better the education program. Hats off to
Las Virgenes Schools.

Peter H. Brothers Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men
The first English print book inspired by Ishirō Honda
By: Irma Haldane
Agoura Hills author Peter H. Brothers recently wrote the first English printed book on the fantasy film “Godzilla, King of Monsters.” The book, “Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men,” took roughly 3 years to write and 2 years to get published.
Brothers fascination with Honda’s films dates back about 50 years to his childhood in Encino which he calls the golden age of sci-fyi. He since studied specific techniques used by Honda in order to write this novel. Brothers book details the humanity behind the Honda’s series. Brett Homenick, a colleague of Brothers from G-Fan magazine, explained that the novel helps readers truly understand Mr. Honda’s approach to Godzilla.
Homenick went on to say, “His films touched the lives of children all over the world, breaking down cultural barriers, bringing Japanese films into the homes of youngsters who otherwise would have had no interest in learning about Japan.”

Urbane Cafe in Agoura Hills
For gourmet sandwiches, salads and catering
By: Irma Haldane
Urbane: polite, refined, sophisticated and courteous
If there is one word to describe the service at Urbane Cafe it’s efficient. With a brief glance into the kitchen you’ll quickly notice the well defined stations that enlist each employee to a designated task. Whether it’s rolling out dough to be cooked in the wood fire grill, seasoning the salad, flipping chicken or putting sandwiches together as high speeds, Urbane cafe knows how to handle the crowds. Good thing, because it’s packed.
Possessing the feeling of classic California fresh cuisine, Urbane offers surprisingly tasty choices under $7. The prices would seem to suggest a lower quality of food but in fact, the recipes are seasoned properly and offer a fusion of Italian and southwest flavors. This fresh new spot in Agoura Hills is just north of the new Trader Joes and south of the McDonalds. A perfect lunch spot for a tast, healthy and relatively inexpensive meal.

Local Baseball Talent in the Minors
Agoura & Calabasas graduates playing in a Mid West League
By: Irma Haldane
Pitcher Robert Stock of Agoura High and catcher Chris Notti of Calabasas high are rising in the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization. The two play for the Quad Cities River Bandits alongside former Agoura Hills teammate Jason Novak. Coincidentally, many other local sensations play in the Midwest League, a Single-A minor league with teams across the heartland.
Matt Magill of Royal, Cutter Dykstra of Westlake, Mike Gilmartin of Moorpark and Corey Jones of Camarillo all play in the same league. But, despite all the talent, Stock is considered one of the finest prospects in the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm system.
Novak and Stock used to play for the Agoura Chargers together and later competed against each other in college. Novak pitched for UCLA and Stock caught for USC. Last year they were roomies for the Johnson City Cardinals in Tennessee and now they live in the same apartment complex in Iowa.
As our local talent continues to play at a higher level, they all hope to play until they physically can’t play anymore. Notti explains, “There’s no timeline. You play until you can’t play anymore.”
We wish our fine local boys good health in the future!
