Mayor David NewmanCongratulations to Andrew Atlas, Thousand Oaks’ newest Eagle Scout! Andrew achieved scouting’s highest rank at age 14, before entering TOHS, where he’s now a freshman and a member of the CVUSD student DAC. Andrew also earned 29 merit badges; passed the written portion of the FAA private pilot’s exam; and for his Eagle Scout project led a team painting more than a dozen murals for the Commemorative Airforce Museum. Congrats also to Troop 787, which since its creation in 2003 has seen about 1/3 of its scouts achieve the highest rank of Eagle Scout. Thousand Oaks has some very bright scouts!<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/eaglescout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eaglescout</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/scouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scouting</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/thousandoaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thousandoaks</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/tocc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tocc</a>

Mayor David NewmanWildwood residents may have noticed a wastewater spill over the weekend near the end of Flaming Star Avenue, with the flow going down the canyon and into the creek.  Public Works staff determined the cause was a blockage, not a pipe break, but unfortunately were not immediately able to clear the blockage. Instead crews quickly established a bypass line, effectively stopping the spill.

Mayor David Newman“She showed a lot of courage,” deputy US marshal Charles Burks later recalled. “She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very very proud of her.”Although Ruby Bridges was alone at first, other students and parents befriended her and her family. Her story is a reminder that we all have the ability to choose tolerance over prejudice, and love over hate.Special thanks to Acacia principal Dennis Carter for leading today’s event, and to City of Thousand Oaks - Local Government crossing guards for helping get kids to and from school safely every day.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/blackhistorymonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackhistorymonth</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/tolerance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolerance</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/cvusd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cvusd</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/chooselovenothate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chooselovenothate</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/thousandoaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thousandoaks</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/tocc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tocc</a>

Mayor David NewmanOn a beautiful morning, a huge crowd of Acacia Magnet School students and parents turned out for the Ruby Bridges Walk in honor of Black History Month.When she was 6 years old in 1960, Ruby Bridges’ parents volunteered to have her be the first African-American student to attend a segregated public school in New Orleans. Despite threats so serious that she required the protection of US marshals, Ruby calmly walked past the haters all year to get an education, setting an example for generations to follow.
