We offer our condolences to longtime Weekly photographer John Gilhooley, whose stepdaughter Paige D'Agostino passed away last Friday.
"She received a heart transplant in 2000 and after 7 plus years she had a heart attack and did not make it. Paige was 18," writes John.
There will be a memorial concert for her in Sunset Beach on Sunday, and you're all invited to come and perhaps make a donation to help the family with her medical bills. Details below:
In "Good Medicine" Daffodil J. Altan interviews Mary Jo Frawley of Doctors Without Borders, who may live in Sunset Beach, but her head and hart are in Sri Lanka, Somalia, Mexico, Angola . . . News has Daffodil J. Altan explaining how Santa Ana Unified School District offers a lesson in upgrading and downsizing at the same time in "Renovation Under the Radar".

Not a trick question: How much of your tax money does it take for the all Republican Orange County Board of Supervisors to renovate a mere five public toilets at Sunset Beach?
Sad answer: A couple hundred thousand dollars more than what most residents paid for entire homes: $839,000.
That's a whopping $167,800 for each crapper. Please don't tell Idaho Senator Larry Craig.
