A Snow White Christmas
What a wonderful way to start your Holiday Season by enjoying "A Snow White Christmas", a Kris Lythgoe Production, at the "Laguna Playhouse". This interactive play in the U.S.A., also called "Panto" in the United Kingdom is sure to bring you to tears of joy with the amazing performances by an incredible cast. My favorite is "Muddles" the Court Jester. The play runs until December 27th, 2015. The venue is beautiful and the acting is outstanding. This is truly a must see for the entire Family.

"Burbank on Parade"
-Story and pictures by Robert Vincent
Last Saturday April 24th was an amazing time for Burbank Citizens with the Annual “ Burbank on Parade.” This year the theme was “Western Days”. We had Dr. Mayor Gordon , Vice – Mayor Bob Frutos and Council persons Emily Gabel Luddy, Gary Bric , Jess Talamontes and other Dignitaries riding in Sports Cars , Floats and Horse & Buggy. The weather was cool with the temptation of rain. The Parade was a success boasting of over 100 entrants including Cowboy Bands, High School Bands, Classic Cars, Beautiful Horses, the Burbank Police and Fire Departments and as always, The Cheerleaders of Burbank “The Civic Pride Committee”.
Everyone seemed to have a great time and the rain held off until the Parade was finished which made for a chilly day perfect for a walk to “ Donut Prince “ for some hot chocolate and a tasty treat . As the Parade ended the rain came down for over three hours, which made the rest of the weekend clear and beautiful.

Story and Pictures by Robert Vincent
Last Saturday was the annual Hoof & Woof Event which featured Burbank Police Equestrian and K-9 Units. This year the guest speaker was Actress and Animal advocate Linda Blair. Linda travels the Country lecturing and teaching about animal rights and the importance of educating the public. Linda has one of the largest Animal Rescue Centers in the State., it is located in Acton, CA. Linda is a dynamic speaker and has been a friend to animals for decades.
The Hoof & Woof boasted of over a hundred Dogs powerful Horses, a miniature Donkey and a few Bunnies. As you view the photo gallery you can see the display
put in by the Burbank and Glendale Police Departments were pretty amazing. My favorite is the K-9 team of Officer John Embleton and “Stevo”; who was really into taking down the bad guys. Saturday was beautiful with a daytime high in the 80’s and if our four legged friends got a bit over heated they had a private pool at their disposal.
Sgt. Carey Schilf was the key speaker for the Equestrian or “Mounted ddvision." Horse power is incredible. The crowd was over two hundred strong and everyone seemed to enjoy the day. There were many booths featuring adoption, rescue, The Burbank Police Foundation, Centinela Pet Supply, The amazing Road Kings and their Classic Cars and many other organizations.
To me, the only thing missing that would have made the event a “perfect 10” was a variety of Food Trucks. , after all People love Animals and they love to eat… For more information on Linda Blairs organization " The Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation " go to www.lindablairworldheart.org

The officer conducted a records check of the vehicle's license plate with the B.P.D.

The Officer conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle in the area of Magnolia Boulevard and Third Street. The vehicle pulled along the east curb of Third Street. Additional officers responded and ordered the male and sole occupant of the vehicle to exit the vehicle; however, the male ignored the many requests to leave the vehicle..
" Stolen Car Stand Off "
Story and Pictures by: Robert Vincent
Burbank Command called in the S.W.A.T. Team complete with Armored Tank vehicles and a fully dressed team; in conjunction with Crisis Negotiation, Mental Health Evaluators and additional Heavily Armored Personnel. While negotiations were unattainable I was impressed by the patience and focused attention of The Burbank Police Department. Finally, after over two hours the male suspect, taunting, yelling and making finger gestures at the Police who were trying to help., the Negotiator realized it was time for action. With a smooth and perfectly executed plan, I next heard was a Flash Bang which got a reaction from the dozens of spectators on the balconies and roof tops watching the event live. The only one not affected was the suspect. S.W.A.T. then deployed chemical agents from their vehicles. The male suspect moved from the drivers seat to the passenger seat as he tore off his clothing and tossed it out the car while still not surrendering. S.W.A.T. and Police Personnel were standing ready and the Canine was ready for action, which freaked out the suspect who finally opened the door, then closed it again because of the intense barking of the fearless Canine. The male finally exited the car wearing only boxers and a crazed look on his face., He did not follow directions and was greeted by a bean bag round to the mid-section which dropped him gently to the ground. The Team subdued the Male Suspect and proceeded to take him into custody, "Brandon Degourville" , who resides in Los Angeles, is being held on $25,000 bail and has a Court Date Thursday, February 19, 2015... Robert Vincent and BurbankUSAGlobal.com want to thank the Burbank Police Department, including all personnel. As well as the Fire Department Paramedic Team, Air Support Team and the K-9 Unit. They all worked together like a finely tuned instrument with a successful ending... A special thank you to the Glendale S.W.A.T. Team for their assistance.

" Sixty Miles to Paradise " By Robert Vincent Take the 101 North from Los Angeles an in an hour or so you will arrive at an awesome destination which is the "Jewel of Ventura" the Crowne Plaza Resort. You will begin to decompress and relax the moment you park your car and open the door to be greeted by a cool Ocean breeze and the mellow sound of the crashing waves. Upon entering the Lobby you will encounter a cheerful Staff and Guests as well. The Crowne Plaza is popular for Conventions, Weddings and Parties. The atmosphere is charming and inviting whether enjoying the lounge or relaxing in your room while soaking in the spectacular views before going to my room I was greeted at Reservations by a friendly courteous staff who introduced me to the Manager on duty Brian Benavidez who went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. I had booked a Parlor Suite and was incredibly impressed. The rooms were beautifully appointed as you will see in the Picture Gallery. The suite has a private bedroom and bath as well as a connected large living / dining area and second bath for guests. I immediately dropped the overnight bag on the bed and headed back down to the lounge for a glass of Pinot Noir with an hour before what would be a breath taking sunset. The wonderful thing about the Crowne Plaza is that once you park your vehicle it is only five to ten minute walk to Restaurants, Entertainment, and an eclectic plethora of Boutique Stores. That evening I chose to dine next door at the "Aloha Steakhouse". Exquisite food comparable to Ruth's Chris but with a mellow and relaxed atmosphere. I then returned to the Hotel outside lounge area to enjoy the wonderful service of Katy who was effervescent with a warm personality and likeable charm; It was a pleasure to enjoy the pleasant fire pit while making some new Friends.Later I was greeted again by the night time manager who surprised me with a glass of my favorite wine and two complimentary breakfast vouchers. Brian is professional, gracious and is a great conversationalist with an easy speaking manner. Later that evening it was time to enjoy the Suite; with it's vast living area and three balconies as well as the distant sound of the Ocean you can understand why the Crowne Plaza is a wonderful getaway. Whether staying for a day, a week or even longer. The next day began with a lovely sunrise boasting of silver rays that seemed to make the waves sparkle and shine. Do Yourself, Family and Friends a favor and experience the Crowne Plaza. ( Gift Certificates ) available...Tell them " Rob sent you " and enjoy...
