celebration luncheon Mon-day in Los Angeles, a special tribute was paid to Maggie Clark, the Monrovia Kin-

dergarten teacher who was killed in an automobile acci-dent last May. The accident was allegedly caused by a man under the influence of a controlled substance who is now in jail.

Accepting a Los Ange-les County District Teacher

of The Year award posthu-mously for Maggie Clark was Mayflower principal Kirk McGinnis. McGin-nis was flanked by County School board members and Jon Gundry who is the new interim Superintendent of schools for LACOE.

A Photo of Maggie Clark was projected on the giant screen when Communica-tions Director Frank Kwan described what happened to the beloved teacher. Kwan announced that a donation

New Field of Dreams: Wildcats Victorious in Home Opener 34-7

A previous mayor of Sierra Madre, Kurt Zimmerman,

John Crawford, Anita Delmer, John Herrmann allege the city violated state law in the way it no-tified customers of a pro-posed water rate hike.

At the last Sierra Madre council meeting, the four residents, one of whom is a former council candidate who was de-feated in the last election, argue that the city did not provide nearly enough in-formation needed for par-cel owners to comprehend complicated water rates increases 45 days before a public hearing, as Proposi-tion 218 requires.

The 1996 ballot initia-tive amended the state's

Four Residents Accuse Sierra Madre of Violating Law

Tryouts for the 2011 Rose Queen and Roy-

al Court were held last weekend at Tourna-ment House, on Orange Grove where hundreds of area women hope for a chance at becoming the next Rose Queen, or at least be part of the Rose Court.

The day we visited, Saturday, young women dressed in casual but el-egant dresses waited pa-tiently for their turn to speak for a few seconds with the initial judging panel.

As is tradition, at least with Arcadia High School boys, a few young men decided to go through the process and giggle though the proceedings. “It’s a great way to meet girls…” quipped one Arcadia High senior as he waited for his chance to explain why he wants to be a Rose Queen.

The young women and Tournament staff seem to take it all their

Before the first home game of the season, Mon-rovia school board mem-bers and other local digni-taries gathered at the new football field for the official dedication. The new Wild-cat Field at Don Montgom-ery Sports Complex is just the first nearly completed phase of the improvements at the High School with

funds from a bond mea-sure approved in 2006.

Generally I just go along kind of unaware of growing older. The days fly by. I’m active and busy so I don’t have much time to think about it. Well, ac-tually, I think about it a lot in the mornings when I’m trying to get out of bed, but once I get the body moving I tend to forget about it.

Last weekend was kind of unusual, didn’t have much to do, felt lazy, not motivated to start any projects. A couple of my girl friends and I -- I guess ‘girl’ friends is kind of a euphemism since none of us has seen girlhood for a long, long time, but ‘lady’ friends sounds so stodgy. Anyway, we decided to go to a local fashion show. That was a mistake.

Not one of the models could possibly have been over twenty years old and they were gorgeous. Now, the music was very blaring and boom-boom in nature so, in my opinion, they walked or strode like cows, if you can picture a cow

striding. But, they were gorgeous cows.

The last time I went to a fashion show the models glided gracefully up and down the runway to the soft, melodious strains of music such as A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody. A bit different.

Thin, my Gawd they were thin. A pimple on a tummy would have made the only bump in the clothes. And legs, I’ve never seen legs so long. The girls were not par-ticularly tall but their hip-bones would have come up to my shoulder blades. Of course, you can’t see my shoulder blades or my hip-bones either for that matter. Theirs were quite pronounced.

The mini-skirts they wore reminded me of my uncle. When mini-skirts first became popular, he commented that they should be called Texas Ranger Skirts. That’s be-cause they don’t cover anything south of the bor-der. These barely covered the border.

My friends’s and my borders stretch over a broader area. We each recognized that fact. We looked at one another with perfect understand-ing. Our mouths said not a word but our expressions spoke volumes. We ac-cepted that it was too late to try to cover our boarders with mini-skirts. We knew it was time to give it up and go for a drink and somet-ing to eat.

Every day is a great day for giving a compliment! Find-

ing something nice to say to someone is easy and the rewards are enormous.

Compliments are a wonderful thing; they can give you a boost whether you give them or receive them. They are a great key to making someone unexpectedly happy and it can give you a sense of joy that you have truly pleased someone. Your kindness most often will light up that person with a smile and it could make a big difference in helping them to face a difficult time in their life.

Not long ago, I had a most unusual day. In fact I thought that it must be National Compliment Day. I had just taken my wife to her cancer doctor for a progress check-up and the doctor’s report was somewhat nega-tive. I was pondering his findings as we were leaving his office, when unexpectedly I was approached by one of the nurses. She greeted me by name and quickly told me how much she enjoyed reading my newspaper col-umn each week. Needless to say the compliment was so timely and extremely pleasing.

I was still glowing from that compliment while we were going down in the crowded elevator. Suddenly, an elderly women passenger moved over toward me and said, “My Mister, you look so sharp in that sport coat”! Wow, that compliment removed all the pain of my wife’s report and an unbelievable joy flooded me. It was so pleasing to receive those two compliments at that time.

As we were driving back to our home I suggested to

my wife that I would like to make a stop at the car wash. As I was receiving the car wash charge ticket, I began a kidding conversation with the two attendants. Then I pointed out to them the Excellent Carwash Service that they constantly provide. They acknowledged my com-ment with a “Hug” and a polite “Thank You.

I proceed into the wash area to wait and watch the very efficient workers do their magic on my car. Imme-diately, another customer that was waiting for the atten-dants to finish with me came running up to me and said, “Boy Mister”, you are a very nice person. You made those attendants so very happy with your thoughtful com-ments.

This compliment incident was a double header. First I gave the attendants a pleasing moment and then this stranger took the time to catch up with me to give me his compliment for the way I treated those carwash em-ployees. As we chatted for a moment, he reminded me of how so many people today are so busy with their per-sonal and business lives that they are totally unaware of the people around them. As we introduced ourselves, shook hands, and then parted ... I thanked him for “Mak-ing My Day”

A compliment is a simple way to have an instant, positive effect on the lives of other people around you!! If you have a close relationship with someone, just a warm greeting and affectionate hug can quickly lift their spirits and bring them great joy and bring you an inner happiness too.

Yes, you can “Make Their Day” as well as ... Your Own!

City Attorney Sandra Levin said she was confident the city has complied with constitutional requirements.

The controversy over the proposed water rate hike ended up in the residents favor recently when a letter writ-ing campaign hit the streets.

It’s no secret that John Crawford, who runs a con-troversial blog complete with anonymous contributors, is vehemently opposed to the current council members with the exception of former mayor Mary Ann McGillivray.

Mayor Mosca said the complaints in the Crawford letter were untimely since the city's staff is conducting an

outreach campaign designed to educate the residents of city of Sierra Madre of the great importance of upgrading the aging city’s water infrastructure.

The city did not receive enough protests recently to defeat the water rate increase proposal- however the city council - based on the sheer number of protests received - opted to postpone voting on a rate hike pending the out-reach and more public input.

The projected water rate hike, if approved, would raise water rates between about 33 percent and 37.5 per-cent over the next five years, depending on the water me-ter and the amount of water used.

The ComedySportz High School League® is the largest, most successful team improvisational theatre pro-gram in the United States. Improvisation is played as a team sport, with two teams “competing” for audience laughs. The stage is cov-ered in turf, there's a referee and the players are in uni-form. It's not comedy about sports; it's comedy played as a sport. Because everyone knows what a sport is, there is immediate buy-in from

the audience; because it's improvisational, it's always different!

The newest “sport” in Amer-ica, ComedyS-portz com-bines the competition of sports with the artistic expression of theatre, where “winning” is only part of the show. In summation, the ComedyS-

portz High School League is the students’ game. They

create, direct and per-form their own ma-

terial off the top of their heads, without the time to stop and question or deny their abilities.

Our an-nual “Back to

School” Match is scheduled for Tues-

day, September 28, 2010 at

7:00 p.m. at Temple City High School in Theatre 601. General Admission is $5.00. This kick-off match features teachers such as Mrs. Zovak-Gaffney, Mr. Dagger, Mr. Kidd, Mr. Bourjelias, Miss Britt, and Ms. Cales against the finest improvisational members of ComedySportz! Are the teachers masters at the subject of comedy? Come and find out!!

Back then Stephen Langdon played hard till the streetlights came on.

It was time when chores were plentiful and toys were simple, when atti-tudes weren’t treated with a prescription (you just beat the kid good). Video games and shopping malls didn’t exist, and hands got dirty in backyards and va-cant lots.

Yet the world Stephen Langdon created in those vacant fields provided the landscape where he learned about trust, friend-ship, and problem solving; in short, the substance of

our character. “Till the streetlights came on” fol-lows the crackbrained schemes of his childhood, humorous, dangerous, ir-responsible – yet tempered by an uncle’s God -cen-tered philosophy intent on teaching a child how to think.

The tale brings to life a typical neighborhood in Monrovia – Mayflower School, Gold Hill with the now gone but one time in-famous ‘Little Grand,’ to the arduous firebreak up Monrovia Peak. Yet the story has weight. It will spawn numerous discus-

sions – from the discovery of our imaginations to the deep spiritual questions kids tussle about.

Stephen Langdon will be in Monrovia in mid-October. He will have book signing engagements at Borders in Pasadena on October 9 , from 2-4, and at the California Wine and Cheese in Monrovia on the October 10, from 2-5.

A free talk on new advancements in the pre-vention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease will be given by nationally rec-ognized bioethicist, clini-cal professor of neurology, psychiatrist, author, and radio host Dr. Vincent For-tanasce, M.D. The discus-sion will take place at Mon-rovia Community Center Thursday, Oct 7, from 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM and will last approximately 60 minutes, with the remain-der reserved for questions and answers.

The event, intended for local seniors, their off-spring, and anyone con-cerned about Alzheimer’s, is sponsored by the Monro-via Providers Group.

Dr. Fortanasce is the author of the best-selling book The Anti-Alzheim-er’s Prescription. He will detail his four-part plan for preventing this disease that slowly debilitates so many seniors. Alzheimer’s is not just reserved for the elderly, however. Adults as young as 35 have been diagnosed with early symptoms. “No one likes to talk about this subject, but it is estimated that by age 85, one in two people have Alzheimer’s disease,” says Brian Lo-pez, a spokesman for Dr. Fortanasce. “Contrary to popular thinking, it can be prevented and slowed for many people.”

The four part preven-tion prescription is called the “D.E.A.R. Plan.” The acronym stands for Diet, Exercise, Accentuating brain reserves, Rest and re-laxation and stress manage-ment. Those who benefit

most are people who have not yet developed symp-toms, however patients al-ready with the disease have also responded favorably.

Copies of The Anti-Al-zheimer’s Prescription will be available for sale at the event ($15/copy—all pro-ceeds are donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.) Dr. Fortanasce will stay for book signing afterward.

Dr. Fortanasce is ranked as one of the best physicians in America, has treated high-profile indi-viduals such as Pope John Paul II and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Tommy Lasorda.

He has appeared on 60 Minutes, Today Show, Dr. Phil, Dateline, Good Morn-ing America, CNN’s Paula Zahn Now, Hard Ball with Chris Matthews, XM satel-lite radio and scores of na-tional and local television and radio shows. He’s been quoted in the New York Times, Sports Illus-trated.

Attendance is free, and light refreshments will be provided at no cost, compliments of Monrovia Providers Group. RSVP by calling 626-294-9941, or visit www.monroviapro-viders.org. The Monrovia Community Center is lo-cated at 119 W Palm Ave, Monrovia, 91016.

USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, the Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, The New York-er, and many other presti-gious publications.

Frequently sought out as a medical expert, Dr. Fortanasce is a regular spokesperson on numer-

ous life issues for the Cali-fornia Medical Association at the Senate and Legisla-ture assemblies. Also, he is a member of the Board of Directors for the National Catholic Bioethics Center.

He is a former 1964 Olympic athlete and a member of the Little League Hall of Fame. As captain of the Cathedral Baseball Team, he led his team to win their first game in four seasons.

His syndicated radio program, St. Joseph’s Ra-dio Presents, Mother An-gelica Network EWTN, has an audience of more than 170,000.

He is also an assistant clinical professor for both the School of Biokinesiol-ogy and the Department of Neurology at the University of Southern California.

Board certified in neurology, psychiatry, re-habilitation medicine, and forensic medicine, he has lectured widely, from the Institute of Living at Yale, to Stanford, and was twice named Outstanding Lec-turer of the Year at the Uni-versity of Southern Califor-nia School of Medicine.

Dr. Fortanasce has published numerous ar-ticles and four successful trade books.

He is donating all profits from The Anti-Alzheimer’s Prescription best-selling book, as he has with his last four titles, to charity, and is the pending author to The Final Spinal Solution, which is to be published in 2010.

He and his family re-side in Southern California.

get back much of the money that homeowners were over-charged for property taxes. The amounts are staggering for a small city.

All eight defendants in the case are being held un-der a special provision of California law that requires each to show that any bail money they put up did not come from a tainted source.

The one really good thing about this outrage is that all cities in California are now put on permanent notice that they have to be transparent . Many news-papers ( including Beacon Media) have filed Public Records and Freedom of In-formation Act requests with many cities.

We came across this in-teresting note in the City of Monrovia City Manager’s Report this week regarding said requests, particular that of the Los Angeles Times:

“LA Times Requests Lots

of New Information -Seeing as the Bell-scandal

is the gift that keeps on giving, the LA Times is now requesting a great deal of information from (I believe) all cities. Specifically, the paper wants - going back to January 1, 2005 - all redevelop-ment agency documents relating to legal services, lobbying services, any professional services contracts over $10,000 a year, bond counsel and bond underwriting fees, any maintenance services contracts over $100,000 a year. They also want

detailed information on our towing contractor. Luckily, we have much of this information on hand be-cause our own local gadflies make similar types of requests. Still, this is a pretty tall order.”

Beacon Media is also requesting that same infor-mation from Monrovia and other area cities. Hopefully, once compiled, we will be able to publish the details. Don’t touch that dial. Stay tuned!

Fall finds many stu-dents returning to or begin-ning college studies. Most young people have the sup-port of family, but this is not always the case for those who have been a part of the foster care system.

Friends of Foster Chil-dren (FOFC) is an all vol-unteer organization that has been supporting children in the San Gabriel Valley foster care system, eman-cipated youths and local facilities for 35 years. In ad-dition to the popular Sugar Plum holiday gift program, FOFC has been assisting aspiring students to pursue higher education through its scholarship program for more than 25 years.

“Our committee works hard to create and main-tain one-on-one relation-ships with our students, to offer moral support and encouragement, along with financial backing,” explains Chairman Steve Wittmer. “This personal touch is of-ten what is needed to help the student succeed.”

He continues, “Each student is assigned a ‘spon-sor’ on the committee, a personal contact to whom he or she can address their questions and concerns. The FOFC Scholarship

Committee considers the mentor/sponsor aspect of the program to be an ex-tremely important part of the plan to help the students succeed.”

Since May 2003 a total of 29 scholarship recipients have received degrees. This year there are a total of 35 stu-dents participat-ing in the FOFC scholarship pro-gram, including 32 renewal re-cipients who are studying a wide spectrum of ma-jors. “One of our students should be completing her Masters De-gree program this year, while seven students will be complet-ing their fourth year of school.”

Each autumn a “schol-arship barbecue” is held for students, alumni, friends and committee members. The 18th annual barbecue was held at the Arcadia home of George and Don-na Koutsakos Sunday, Au-gust 29, 2010. Record high attendance of 68 marked the informal gathering, in-cluding 17 students and

four alumni.At the barbecue all

the students in attendance were presented with a gift of school supplies from the Pasadena Chapter of the National Charity League, as well as useful door prizes from computer printers to

pots and pans.“The FOFC scholar-

ship has allowed me to stay in school,” explains Adam who is studying political science at UC San Diego. His brother Daniel, also a scholarship recipient is in his junior year studying psychology at UC Riverside and this year his younger brother, Andrew, is a first-

year recipient assisting him as he studies photography at Mt. San Antonio College.

This is Daysi E.’s sec-ond year with FOFC and at-tending the barbecue. She is studying Radio/TV/Film and Spanish at Cal State Fullerton. “FOFC has been

helpful in providing extra assistance with my college expenses; hopefully that will continue so I can study abroad some day,” she ex-plains.

Angela A. attends Cit-rus College; her goal is to major in psychology. “I am new to the FOFC program, but I have already benefit-ed from the financial assis-

tance,” she exclaims. “I am very grateful for their gener-osity.”

Alicia G., a single mother says she “couldn’t manage with out FOFC’s assistance” as she pursues a degree in sociology at East Los Angeles College.

Cal State Los Angeles stu-dent Shauntay B. says she “loves to come to the annual barbecue to get school supplies and visit with old friends” including her sponsor Hostess Donna Kout-sakos. She adds that she “espe-cially enjoys the extra boost from FOFC that helps with the purchase of

her business finance text books.”

Budding documentary filmmaker Jabril M. has been studying liberal arts at Santa Monica College with an eye toward transferring to UCLA (his first choice). He explains, “I am achiev-ing my goals because of the FOFC support” and especially because “the ex-

tra money helped with his book expenses.”

Communication sci-ence major at Cal Poly Po-mona Theresa M. attended the barbecue for the first time this year. “I enjoyed the opportunity to meet up and have dinner with the other students.”

“These get-togethers are our version of a family version,” says Alumni Alli-son Goldsmith who makes it a point to attend the bar-becues each year. “Joan Rankin was my sponsor and she provided so much more than just financial help. She gave me gifts and cards for every holiday and she is doing the same thing for my children. I consider her as a grandparent.”

Allison received her master’s degree from USC and has been working in the Department of Child and Family Services since 1997. Each year she makes a donation to FOFC and says, “I hope people who read this article are inspired to help with the children be-cause no one asks to be in a foster home.”

bands” at events like Taste of Arcadia for the reason that so many sound the same and seem to play the same darn songs with little or no feeling. This was most undeniably not the case with Cold Duck.

As I entered the Arbo-

retum, at around 5:30 pm on Monday I could hear an incredible interpreta-tion of “Only the Begin-ning” from the first Chica-go album when the band was known as the Chicago Transit Authority. It is not an easy song to play. Prob-

ably one of my all time favorites……wish I still had my original double album vinyl .CTA were signed to Columbia Records late in 1967 and recorded their debut in late January 1969. By the end of The Chicago Transit Authority's ses-

sions, it was clear that the album would have to be a double. In their original incarnation, keyboardist Robert Lamm, guitarist Terry Kath and bassist Pe-ter Cetera all shared lead vocals, while James Pan-kow, Lee Loughnane and

Walter Parazaider handled all brass and woodwinds and Danny Seraphine played drums. Kath's profi-ciency as a guitarist was so powerful that Jimi Hendrix became a key fan of Kath's playing

Any band that can

play early Chicago Tran-sit Authority material that well is ok in my book! Bring ‘em back next year!

Ok. Now the food and the booze: It was plentiful and creative, there were a few people who com-plained about having to buy alcohol in addition to the price of admission. There were samples of-fered, however some said they were particularly pal-try for a tasting event.

However most people didn’t seem to mind, after all it was a fundraiser!

Now to the main event:

The Brazilian danc-ers - always the stars of the show - didn’t disappoint this year. In fact some very young children got into the spirit and danced with the two women to the delight of the audience.

The Taste of Arcadia benefitted the Arcadia Red Cross, Foothill Unity Cen-ter as well as Arboretum Foundation.

Taste of Arcadia Brings Hundreds to Arboretum for Annual Shindig

has been made to Mothers against Drunk Driving in honor of Maggie Clark’s life.

Over 80 Los Angeles County’s educators were honored Monday during the 2010-11 Teachers of the Year ceremony in Los Angeles at the Universal Hilton. Those honored were at the County District and Re-gional levels, re-spectively.

Interim Su-perintendent Jon R. Gundry an-nounced the 16 County Teachers of the Year win-ners, which included seven from the San Gabriel Valley.

“These hard-working teachers have been judged by their colleagues as exem-plifying the very best in this wonderful profession of pub-lic education.”

Emcee Frank Kwan then began the process of an-

nouncing all the winners and inviting them up on stage to receive their awards and have pictures taken.

Those from San Ga-briel Valley include: Kelsey Brown, Arcadia Unified SD Holly Avenue Elementary;

Kimberly Opel, from Azusa Uni-fied’s Foothill Middle; Beverly Gonzalez, Baldwin Park Unified’s Santa Fe School; Andrew King, from Hacienda La Puente Unified’s La Puente High; Tina Repetti Ren-zullo, kindergarten teacher from Pasa-

dena Unified’s McKinley School; and Paul Groves, from South Pasadena Uni-fied’s South Pasadena High.

In addition to their certificates and several gifts from sponsors, a $1,000 cash prize courtesy of the California Credit Union.

provide a place for com-munity members to walk and run.

School Board Presi-dent Brian Wong also thanked the community for its support of the school with both the bond mea-sure and by coming out that evening to join in the celebration of the new field. That sentiment was also echoed by Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz who called the improve-ments “a monument to what Monrovia can do when we put our mind to it.

Head Football Coach Ryan Maddox , who in his three year tenure at MHS has amassed an im-pressive 23-5 record tak-ing the team to three Rio Hondo League titles, also spoke thanking the com-munity for its support of the schools. He closed his remarks saying “to show

our thanks we are going to beat Arcadia.”

Culminating the dedi-cation was a presentation of a check for $25,000 from the Monrovia Schools Foundation. John Wilson, president of the foundation said that this was “just the first check” and promised more to come.

However, it was the Wildcat Football team it-self which truly dedicated the field with an impres-sive 34-7 victory over their cross-town rivals, the Ar-cadia Apaches. During the first quarter there were some dramatic scrambled and several very accurate passes by both teams but neither team seemed able to maintain enough mo-mentum to score.

Finally, the Wildcats scored first and attempted but failed to run in the ball for a two point conversion making the first TD on the

new field one for the Wild-cats.

The ‘cats scored again with quarterback , Nick Bueno, running it in for the second MHS score in the first half. Arcadia quickly responded with a touchdown of its own so the half ended with the scoreboard reading 13 - 7.

The second half of the game was all Monrovia with the Wildcats shutting out the Apaches. Mon-rovia scored three more times for a final score of 34 -7. What a nice way to say thank you to the com-munity.

After the game Bueno, #4, commented on the new field saying that he liked the artificial turf say-ing simply “It’s faster.” Derrick Johnson, #6, was even more enthusiastic about the new surface. “It’s like playing on air,” he said.

Salke will be discussing her time living and working with the medi-cal community in villages of Iran, Sierra Leon as well as Afghanistan.

founder and Executive Director of Family Health Alliance (FHA) which is a female led, not for profit, non-political organization that focuses attention on the reproductive health and rights of women in countries with little or no resources.

The unique opportu-nity to see Taraneth Salke will take place November 3, at 11am.

It is open to everyone. Thanksgiving luncheon will be served at a cost of $20 per person for AWC members and $25 for non-members, of which $10 will be donated to Taraneth Salke’s FHA. The contri-

Monrovia Wildcats to Face San Dimas...Again

BY SUSAN MOTANDER

Immediately after the Wildcat victory last Fri-day night against Arcadia, Monrovia’s Head Coach Ryan Maddox called his team together first to congratulate them on a good game, but also to re-mind them “Starting at 10 o’clock tomorrow it is all about San Dimas.”

Monrovia will face the Saints this Friday night with a 7 p.m. kickoff at San Dimas. The game is especially significant for the Wildcats as they beat San Dimas last year

in preseason play, but lost to them in the CIF final at the end of the season, their only defeat of the year.

Coach Maddox said the reason for preseason play, such as this game against San Dimas, is “to test yourself against the best.” He noted that the Wildcats loss to the Saints last year will make this even more significant. He explained that these non-league games allowed the team to identify their weaknesses and hone their strengths.

On Friday, October 8th, 2010, 6-10 PM Art Night returns to Pasadena.

Enjoy a free evening of art, music and entertain-ment as Pasadena’s most

prominent arts and cultural institutions swing open their doors. Last fall, 14,000 people experienced the ex-citement of Art Night!

Monrovia Reads Schedules Fundraiser Arcadia Library Unveils New READ Poster Arcadia - Best Place to Raise Rose Queens

Rose Queen Natalie Innocenzi -Photo by Terry Miller

Over the last several years, the Arcadia Library has created a series of READ™ posters patterned after the enormously suc-cessful American Library Association READ™ post-ers, that feature celebrities reading their favorite book. These posters are designed to encourage children to read, while celebrating the city of Arcadia and Arca-dians.

We’re pleased to say that our very own photog-rapher, Terry Miller, has shot all of the READ post-ers in recent years for the city of Arcadia’s Library.

The posters encourage young readers to get their free card, with which not only can you check out books, magazines, videos, CDs and DVDs.

For detailed informa-tion on how to get your Ar-cadia Public Library card, please call 626-821-5571.


In an effort to help Monrovia become a greener community, the City will hold a “Sustainability Fair” on Saturday, September 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Library Park. The fair is the latest move by the City toward creating a greener more sustainable communi-ty which began with the City Council’s adoption of a set of Environmental Accords in 2007.

The fair will feature a wide range of exhibits, work-shops and entertainment all designed to encourage a greener more environmen-tally friendly community. Among the more than 50 ex-hibitors there will be a Low Emission Vehicle Show, and tours of the city’s new Li-brary showcasing the green sensitive construction used throughout the building.

For the youngsters there will be a children’s eco-play area and Radio Disney will be broadcasting live from the fair from noon to 2 p.m.

Other features of the fair will be:

•Energy Efficiency Workshops in the Library’s Community Room - held throughout the day.

•Free Smart Garden-ing Workshop from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. to teach compost-ing techniques. Discounted compost and worm bins will be available for sale in addi-tion to an hourly drawing for a free bin for those who sign up.

•“Last Chance Mercan-tile” for visitors who want to swap household items, toys, books, kitchen gadgets, clothing, electronics, etc. Anything which does not

find a home the day of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.

•Reuse fashion show put together by Old Town merchant AAAardvark. The show will feature Com-munity Services Staff mem-bers as models for the gen-tly used clothing and other items. The purpose of the show is learning to create a wardrobe with stylish, yet eco-friendly and reusable fashions.

•The vehicle show will feature cars and other low emission vehicles such as buses. Some of these vehi-cles are fueled by hydrogen, compressed natural gas, and even solar power. The vehi-cles will be on Palm Avenue between Myrtle and Prim-rose in front of the Commu-nity Center.

In addition to the City and its Monrovia Green Team, sponsors of the Fair include Foothill Transit, Ath-ens Services, the Monrovia Animal Hospital, Bowden Development, Civiltec En-gineering, Allan Company, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Bank of America Home Loans and Willdan Energy Solu-tions.

Join the fun at the fair to learn more about Mon-rovia’s Environmental Ac-cords. These accords are based on the United Na-tions’ Urban Environmental Accords, but have been spe-cifically tailored to Monro-via. There are seven areas addressed by the accords: energy, waste reduction, ur-ban design, urban nature, transportation, environmen-tal health and water.

Monrovia to Hold a Sustainability Fair This Saturday, Sept. 25
