FOR most people in Scotland actor Jane McCarry will be synonymous with the much loved character of Isa Drennan, the nosey neighbour with the detective skills of a secret agent, in hit TV sitcom Still Game. Many children and young people will know her as Granny Murray in the popular CBeebies show Me Too! However, despite her TV fame, the multiple Scottish Bafta winner has never lost her passion for live theatre. The actor, who hails from Glasgow, but trained at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, has continued to work in the theatre throughout her illustrious 30-year career. McCarry has performed in a diverse series of stage shows over the years, ranging from pantomime in many of the country’s top theatres to the Still Game Live shows in the huge Hydro auditorium at the SEC in Glasgow. Memorably, back in 2012, she was part of the National Theatre of Scotland’s acclaimed production of Michel Tremblay’s famous play The Guid Sisters.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Mayor Eric Garcetti broke into song today during a virtual celebration for the grand opening of the West Valley s first Bridge Housing site, which is meant to provide transitional housing to people experiencing homelessness.
The Willows, in Canoga Park, opened to residents on Feb. 1 and will provide them with resources including case management, space for animals and larger quarters for couples. The 75-bed facility is the first Bridge Housing facility to accommodate opposite-sex couples.
The facility was named “The Willows for the Tongva nation, which “nurtured the site and used to construct their homes out of willow branches, according to Los Angeles Family Housing s Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, who said her organization received the blessing of Tongva Chief Anthony Morales to build the facility.
