Monrovia High School Football Player Arrested in Attempted Murder Case

Los Fabulocos and Delgado Bros Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Sunday, May 1

A Monrovia High School senior football play-er pleaded not guilty Mon-day in Fontana Court to charges of attempted mur-der, robbery, possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale.

Derrick Johnson, 18, of Monrovia, was arrested last week following an al-leged botched robbery and shooting in Fontana.

He entered his plea at his arraignment and is be-ing held in lieu of $1.425 million bail, court officials said.

A preliminary hearing is slated for May 3, accord-ing to officials.

No further detail were immediately available.

Despite the mostly upbeat reorganization of City Council Tuesday, Si-erra Madre Councilmem-ber MaryAnn MacGillivray talked tough and said she wasn’t sure how the “ State Anarchy” would affect Sierra Madre…referring of course to Governor Brown’s bud-get cuts.

MaryAnn MacGilli-vray‘s comments came as a surprise to some in the audience who evidently are not of the same belief as the MacGillivray.

John Buchanan Appointed Mayor of Sierra Madre During Reorganization

Former Mayor Joe Mosca handed over the Mayoral duties of the city to John Buchanan who was selected Mayor of Sierra Madre, for the second time at Tuesday’s reorganization at City Hall. Josh Moran was unanimously selected as Mayor Pro Tem.

Mosca thanked his family for their support es-pecially his partner, Matt Bosse and sons Garrett (3 yrs) and the new born De-van . He also thanked John Buchanan for his guidance and friendship.

Mosca said, “After sev-eral years on the City Coun-cil he still gives 100 percent. He is very committed,” In thanking other councilmem-bers, Mosca also thanked the Sierra Madre commu-nity for their support.

Mosca cited the accom-plishments of the Council during his tenure as Mayor and again said what an hon-

“There’s but one rea-son anyone should seek and hold elected office...that is to do good,” Buchanan said. “Being a council member or mayor… is a chance to do good,” he said.

Built in 1949, Pasade-na Fire Station #39, locat-ed at 50 Avenue 64, will be vacated effective Wednes-day, April 26, 2011. This station currently houses four Fire Department safe-ty members per shift (three shifts) and one Fire Engine.

As part of the Fire De-partment’s 2005-2010 Stra-tegic Plan, an evaluation of Fire Department facilities was identified to anticipate the needs of a continuously growing population and to improve the Department’s existing aging infrastruc-ture.

Analysis of all eight Fire Stations for building and site areas, services per-formed, functional efficien-cies, structural integrity and aesthetic conditions were conducted. The study prioritized categories as re-lated to the life and safety of the crew, the buildings structural integrity and the operational needs of the Department.

Of the Department’s eight Fire Stations, Station #39 was identified for po-tential structural failure if subjected to significant seismic loads. Station #39’s construction con-sists of masonry bearing walls, wood frame floor and a wood framed roof. The report states, in part, “There is significant risk of structural failure of the 2 ½” steel columns supporting the lintel in masonry open-ing. This portion of the second floor is in danger of collapse when subjected to seismic loading. Safety of the fire crew and protec-tion of equipment is para-mount and should be ad-dressed without delay.” In addition, the study found that there is no practical manner in which to resolve Station #39’s structural de-ficiencies.

“Firefighter safety is of utmost concern and this closure is of a critical, time sensitive nature so as to not

jeopardize the crew and apparatus. A large seismic event is imminent, even though we can’t predict when it will occur. As first responders, our Firefight-ers need to get to an emer-gency in a timely manner. According to this report, in the case of a significant earthquake the crew mem-bers assigned to Station #39 could very well need rescue themselves. We rec-ognize that we cannot af-ford to wait to take action,” states Dennis J. Downs, Fire Chief.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) sites specific data that indi-cates probable seismic ac-celerations. This data was utilized to determine de-sign standards to withstand seismic loads, as outlined in the California Building Code as “Essential Service Facilities.” All new Fire Stations built in California

When I used to com-plain that I didn’t have time to get all my chores done, my father-in-law would always remind me, “That’s all right Dorothy, you don’t want to finish your chores. When they are done, so are you.”

He finished his chores in 1978. I miss him still and think of him often. We would sometimes laugh to-gether at things not everyone found laughable.

I received a photocopy today of a cartoon that I know would have evoked a chuck-le from him. It shows a har-ried, frazzled looking woman with crossed eyes and turned down mouth. The side cap-tion reads, “God put me on Earth to accomplish a certain

number of things...right now I’m so far behind I will never die.” He would approve of that.

I love cartoons. Per-haps that is part of why I am behind. I’m always taking time to cut one out to send to someone or running out to copy the one that someone sent to me, then send it on to others. That usually calls for more time to sit down and write a little note to update our lives. I consider that as time well spent, but it does mean delaying some other chores.

Now and then I reach that point of being behind which calls for making lists and prioritizing. I make a column for things that Must be done right away, one for things that Should be done soon and one for things to do Whenever I get to them. The

columns are all rather long.This morning a friend

called and wanted to do something really fun and relaxing but definitely time consuming. I groaned and looked at my lists: meetings to attend, columns to write, bills to pay, cleaning to do, errands to run, a button to sew, a hem to repair, calls to make, and more. I saw my-self as the frazzled gal in the cartoon.

I began to shift jobs from one column to the other. Fi-nally the Must Do column was quite manageable, the Should Do produced a fleet-ing moment of guilt and the When I Get To It just kept growing.

I called my friend back and said I’ll meet her at noon. My father-in-law was right. I’m in no hurry to get my chores done.

Letter to the Editor

Send your letters to [email protected]

Dear Mr. Peters - I have been commis-

sioned to compile a book en-titled CRITICAL (m)ASS - a collection of critical reviews and accompanying anec-dotes. Some time ago, my editor decided that as soon as find a new and interesting review, I ought to write the author, so that the collection may be made up of both the original review and the suc-cessive correspondence.

First, thank you for your thoughtful review. Your reac-tion was complimentary and interesting. While I did play this role for quite a few years, I have largely moved on to Chopin, Beethoven, Bern-stein, among other things - characters that have wonder-fully rich music and lives, as did Gershwin.

The few things that I wish to address regarding your review have to do with the suggestion of “hypothesis” regarding Porgy and Bess. George Gershwin often stat-ed (as did I, in character) that one never remembers the good reviews - it’s the nega-tive ones that stay. Coupled with the fact that Porgy lost its entire investment, closed after only 132 performances in New York, was ravaged by the more well known (not necessarily better) critics, and in fact led Gershwin to re-spond in writing with a letter

to the press, expressing both anger and pain while explain-ing his choices, leads me to believe that as presented, it’s no “hypothesis.” It’s how we know he responded to what actually happened. While it is unnecessary to bring forth friends’ reports of Gershwin at the time (ie: depressed, seen crying at the back of the theatre, questioning his own abilities and so on) - it is nec-essary to express Gershwin’s own reaction, as I did. The good reviews were meaning-less to him, because the criti-cal support that he wanted were from individuals from whom, that support didn’t come. I also want to add, as I am certain that you know, Isaac Goldberg had a some-what personal relationship with Gershwin, and in read-ing his book, one finds many rose colored reports of many events. He has long been de-bunked by Gershwin-ites as a largely “unreliable” source.

With regard to the per-formance of the Rhapsody, I think I am quite in agree-ment with you on the result, but not the reason for what appears in the audience to be a lack of clarity. The audito-rium, while very kind to the spoken voice, and somewhat to the singing voice, is not at all structured to be kind to the piano. There is practically no “return” and while not en-

tirely dry, there just isn’t that wonderful dome that I have experienced when I played at Carnegie Hall, at Disney, or my very favorite in the whole world - the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. So, I find myself trying options - play lighter, and hope the perfor-mance reads, play heavier, knowing it will read but in a very heavy handed way, a more romantic approach, a punchier approach - depends on the evening. Alas, this is one the problems with play-ing a concert work in concert style, but not in a hall suited to the spoken and sung voice, and not to the very delicate craft of instrumental music. As Horowitz said with his marvelous accent “Give me one million dollars, and still I don’t play in bad acoustic.” It makes for interesting choic-es, in particular because this is a theatre piece.

All this said, I am glad you attended, and again, thank you for your thought-ful and supportive report. Perhaps with the Chopin and Beethoven pieces, (the piano work of which is something I relish and enjoy a great deal) I’ll better understand the lo-cal acoustics.

All the best - Hershey Felder

“He was a wise man who invented beer”- Plato

Under the ownership of British subjects David Farnworth and Peggy Simo-nian, Lucky Baldwin’s in old Pasadena poured their very first pint July 1, 1996. It wasn’t long before word got around that there was a good “English Pub” in Pasa-dena complete with char-acter and a feel of the UK. Lucky Baldwin’s, complete with the delirious dry wit of an Englishman born in Carl-isle. Carlisle is known as the last town in England before Scotland, and sometimes the last town in Scotland before England, depending on with whom you’re sharing a pint of the amber nectar.

Farnworth tells me, logi-cally enough, that he lived in Farnworth which is located within the Metropolitan Bor-ough of Bolton in Greater Manchester which might ac-count for his thick accent, and Northern wit and repartee. I’m not sure if he was pull-ing my leg - sometimes you never know with us Brits…we love to “take the mickey”. Oh well, it makes for a good story!

They are also known for the great English breakfasts served up daily from 8 a.m. If you’ve not experienced a true British breakfast, you’re in for a treat! You can have tea with your breakfast or the very good and popular Peets Coffee which they proudly serve. And since the place is family friendly, and there is also a kids’ menu.

What sets Lucky Bal-win’s apart from the mad-ding crowd of bars, sports bars and gastropubs in the Los Angeles area is simply the selection of great beers, particularly Belgian beers, and the corresponding beer festivals that have become so

popular throughout the years at Lucky Baldwins locations. It is thanks to Farnwoth that such ales are even available here in California. A deter-

mined beer aficionado, Farn-worth literally travelled the world to find what he thinks are the best of the very best beers.

In 2005, Farnworth and Simonian jumped at an op-portunity to open a Sierra Madre Lucky Baldwin’s that formerly housed the Sierra Madre Brewing Company 2. That location has developed a very loyal following and is known as Lucky Baldwins Delirium.

Lucky Baldwin’s third incarnation was formerly home the popular and cozy Brits Fish and Chips which was owned and operated by another popular dry wit-

ted Englishman and his wife. The recession hit the small operation hard as it did with many other restaurants last summer and unfortunately

Brits was forced to close its doors. Many a loyal Brits pa-tron pops in to Lucky Baldins Trappiste, however, to see the transformation, which is significant.

It is easy to see why Lucky Baldwins customers get into Belgian beer. “The flavors are so different,” Farnworth said. “They’re fascinating. And a lot of them are high in alcohol. “In fact this week, the High Alcohol Beer Festival (which ends on Sunday) boast some beers at 11%. When you consider the average beer is 5% or less, that is one bold “Alesmith old Knumbskull”: that’s ac-tuall the name of one of Farn-

worth’s selections.Lucky Baldwins is cel-

ebrating its Trilogy with the grand opening Saturday and Sunday May 6 &7 with $3 on selected pints; a special menu feauring British favorites for only $7 ( fish and chips, Bangers and Mash, Cot-tage Pie as well as traditional meat pies. They will also be featuring 15 beers by Sierra Nevada of which many are usually only available at the Sierra Nevada Brewery.

British native, Neale As-lett of Chichester in West Sussex, manages the new location with his own unique flair for the understatement. He and his staff of able bod-ied young men and women manage to keep the custom-ers happy with not only fast and friendly service but the occasional quip that’ll make you realize why it’s fun to go out for a pint at a unique pub like Lucky Baldwins. “It’s not a bar, its an adventure!” said local resident Dave Pe-terson who was instrumental in convincing Pasadena to extend the opening hours of the new Lucky Baldwins. Peterson and a dedicated group of people in the East Pasadena have been attempt-ing to build up the business east of PCC and felt it wasn’t Pasadena’s right to deter-mine a curfew. Up until last week, the pub had to close at 10p.m. To the delight of their customers and relief of the owners, Lucky Baldwins has a little more time to entice residents of the area.

Lucky Baldwins Trap-piste is located at 1770 E Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. Lucky Baldwins Deliriums located at 21 Kersting Court, Sierra Madre and the original at 17 S. Raymond in Pasa-dena.

Lucky Baldwin was a big name in Southern Cali-fornia during the late 1800s when his vast land holdings included the Rancho Santa Anita Ranch which became the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Gar-den in Arcadia.

The Arboretum cel-ebrates the era of the Bald-win Ranch with Wild West Days on Saturday, April 30

and Sunday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wild West Days invites the public to enjoy western entertain-ment, music, dancing and roping from a time long since passed in this area.

Anne Cottage, Coach Barn and Santa Anita Depot will be open to visitors.

The event is free with admission. Arboretum members are free. Addi-tional fees for food and spe-cial programs may apply. For details and times, visit www.arboretum.org. The Arboretum is located at 301 North Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia.626.821.3222

Taking further action to save taxpayer dollars and cut government waste, Gov-ernor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. issued a sweeping Executive Order Tuesday to halt state employee travel that is not mission-critical. This Execu-tive Order comes one week after the Governor ordered state agencies and depart-ments to recover millions of dollars in uncollected salary and travel advances.“Our fiscal challenges demand that we take a much closer look at how taxpayer dol-lars are being spent within state government,” Brown said. “Now is not the time to attend conferences, travel to meetings or take out-of-state field trips and this Ex-ecutive Order puts an end to it.”Under the Governor’s Executive Order, no travel is permitted – either in-state or out-of-state – unless it is mission-critical or there is no cost to the state. All in-state mission-critical travel must be approved by agency secretaries or department directors who do not report to an agency secretary and all out-of-state travel must

be approved by the Gov-ernor’s office. Permitted travel must be directly re-lated to enforcement respon-sibilities, audits, revenue collection or other duties required by statute, contract or executive directive. Trav-el to attend conferences, networking opportunities, professional development courses, continuing educa-tion classes, meetings that can be conducted by video or teleconference or other non-essential events will not be permitted or paid for by the state.

All agencies and de-partments must submit out-of-state travel requests for the next fiscal year directly to the Governor’s office by May 6. In the past, agencies and departments have been allowed to switch previously approved trips with new trips during the fiscal year. The Governor’s Executive Order ends this practice.

Out-of-state travel re-quests must also document the purpose of the trip and why it is mission-critical, the destination and length of the trip, the projected cost and

source of funding, the num-ber of travelers and the role of each individual, the ben-efit to the state, the impact if the trip is denied, whether the goal of the trip can be met in a less costly manner and whether a traveler’s absence will interfere with regularly assigned duties.

This Executive Order is part of the Governor’s ef-forts to save money this fiscal year and to cut millions in operational costs next fiscal year.

Since taking office, Governor Brown has cut spending in his own office by 25 percent and ordered state agencies and depart-ments to:

•Recover millions of dol-lars in uncollected salary and travel advances;

•Stop spending taxpayer dollars on free giveaway and gift items;

•Cut state cell phones and the passenger vehicle fleet in half; and

•Freeze hiring across state government.

The original production opened on Broadway No-vember 24, 1950 and ran for 1,200 performances. A 1976 revival, featuring Robert Guillaume and an all-black case, ran for 239 performanc-es, and the hit 1992 revival with Peter Gallagher, Nathan Lane and Faith Prince ran al-most as long as the original. The film version, starring Marlon Brando, Jean Sim-mons, Frank Sinatra and Viv-ian Blaine (recreating her role as Adelaide), had the highest box office gross of 1955.Guys and Dolls won eight Tony Awards (including mu-sic and lyrics) and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. The 1992 production won a a Tony for Best Re-vival, and its cast album was awarded the Grammy.It all begins with a bet. Na-than Detroit bets high roll-ing gambler Sky Masterson that Sky cannot persuade Save-A-Soul Missionary Sis-

ter Sarah Brown to accom-pany him on a trip to Cuba. While the worldly Sky works his charms on a wary Sarah, Nathan is doing his best to stay outside the matrimonial clutches of his long suffering fiancée, Miss Adelaide. Guys and Dolls is a fable about what happens to gam-bling men and the women who long to tame them. Set in the colorful world of New York City in the mid 20th century, the romantic and funny Guys and Dolls is populated with gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and scantily clad showgirls, and one of the great musical scores in the history of Ameri-can theatre.Call (626) 282-1440 for tick-ets. Starts at 8 p.m. at San Gabriel Mission Playhouse. This is a fully staged, cho-reographed show with a top notch cast and the Richard Allen orchestra.

What goes on behind the scenes at the annual Pasa-dena Rose Parade? Have you ever wondered who chooses the theme, the bands, and the float designs? The per-fect person to answer these questions and any others is prominent Arcadia resident David Hu, a 23-year member of the Tournament of Roses Association, has assured the A.A.U.W. that he will present a program to them “that is in-formative and not full of bor-

ing statistics.” He welcomes questions from the audience.

David Hu will speak to the group at its meeting on Monday, May 9, at the Church of the Good Shep-herd’s Jordan Hall, 400 W. Duarte Rd., Arcadia, (SW corner of Duarte Road and Holly Avenue). Socializing and refreshments begin at 6:30 p.m. with program to follow at 7 p.m. The public is invited to this free meeting.

Monrovia League mem-bers have been busy since their end of the year Christ-mas party. Monthly meetings have been held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. The pro-gram chairmen, Enid Ottem and Donna Stueck have had interesting and informative programs.

January 18, Dr. George Nalbach, Family Service As-sociate Executive Director,

informed them of some of the different programs from Fam-ily Service. Since 1951, Santa Anita Family Service has been providing local families with counseling programs, child abuse treatment and preven-tion programs, women’s support groups, substance abuse and domestic violence programs, family preservation and support programs and ser-vices for seniors.

Hostesses wee: Henriette Luszeck, Hilda Medina, Doro-thy Mosley and Patricia Bade.

On February 15, Bonnie, from the Wizard of Bras, was interesting and informative; she is an authority on fitting bras and also happens to be the mother of the Whistling Diva, Carole Anne Kaufman, named best female adult whis-tler at the convention on April 23-25 in Louisburg, NC.

Hostesses were Joan Wil-liams, Ann Von der Ahe and Henriette Luszeck.

March 15 was the annual Spring Salad Buffet, and the ladies, as usual, outdid them-selves with the many different and delicious salads.

President Ann Von der Ahe will be hosting their annu-al membership tea may 17th at her Oaklawn Rd. home.

William Allen Shep-pard was born August 29, 1918, in Los Angeles, California, and died Sat-urday, April 23, 2011, in Granbury, Texas. Bill’s fa-ther’s family had been pi-oneers in Redlands, CA, in 1886 with the Chicago Colony, establishing some of the first orange groves. Bill was raised in Hollywood, attending Le Conte Junior High and Hollywood High School with Nanette Fabray and other Hollywood stars of that period. He gradu-ated from Santa Barbara State College in 1940 in teaching and industrial arts and did graduate work at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon.

After a brief stint in the Navy, Bill married Betty Hovick in 1941 and moved to La Canada. He taught Industrial Arts for many years at Wilson Ju-

nior High and Pasadena High School in Pasadena. While at PHS, he designed and built sets for plays and musicals, an undertaking which he really loved. In 1972, he married Mary

Maybay. Upon retirement, they moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and then to Granbury, Texas, where Mary’s family resides.

Bill was a master craftsman and loved work-

ing with his hands. He especially loved restoring old grandfather clocks and cars, and there were always cars and clocks in various stages of repair in the ga-rage. He knew everything

about steam engines and finally, in retirement, achieved his dream of building a garage-sized model railroad.

In his later years, Bill was cared for by Karen and Tom Wood-ward, his wife’s daugh-ter and son-in-law. Bill is survived by his wife, Mary, and five children from his first marriage – Bette Solomon (Sierra Madre), Susie Galloway (Grand Junction, CO), Bill Sheppard (Pasade-

not go into any specific de-tails, the alluded to the fact that there were family prob-lems

“The murder was fam-ily related,” Detective Go-mez said. “Narcotics played a minor role, meaning it

was used to lure the victim to the Rose Bowl.”

Victor Cass suffered a laceration on his neck in addition to being struck by bullets. .

After a search of Cass’ Duarte home police seized weapons and drugs, includ-ing cocaine, an AK-47 as-

sault weapon, and numer-ous other rifles.

Cass is being held on $3.4 million bail.

Monrovia Chamber’s Business, Education and Community Outreach Network Group Present Boys and Girls Club with Award

John Wilson took over the at the helm of Monrovia Boys and Girl’s Club about one year ago.. The condition of the club’s exterior was “four shades of beige because of various graffiti removals over the years” according to Wilson. The landscaping was outdated and not water conservation friendly. The in-terior hadn't been touched in many years..

Thanks to several indi-viduals and local groups, the Boys and Girls blub now has fresh, lively paint inside and out and fresh landscape that is primarily California native and other drought resistant plants.

“It was a true commu-nity effort to make all this happen” said Wilson when a group of community leaders met up and visited the club

Monday.The mission of Boys &

Girls Club of the Foothills is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, car-ing, responsible citizens. We accomplish this by focusing

on five key areas: academic support; character and lead-ership development; health and life skills; the arts; and sports, fitness and recreation. There are currently over 500 kids/youth who participate in their programs at one of four locations.

“Pasadena Fire Sta-tions #31 and #38 in combination with Aid Agreements with adjacent agencies, which include the City and County of Los

Angeles, will help in main-taining response times in the area served by Station #39,” adds Downs.

Downs went on to state, “The City Manager has recommended allocat-ing a $400,000 Capital Im-provement Program (CIP)

request to initiate design and entitlements on the replacement facility. This action helps to ensure that Fire Station #39 will be returned to service in the shortest amount of time possible.”

John Buchanan, Mayor of Sierra Madre

The Arcadia City Council voted Wednesday night to appoint Council-man Gary Kovacic as may-or and Councilman Bob Harbicht as mayor pro-tem. Kovacic, who most recently served as mayor pro-tem, is replacing Councilman Peter Amundson as mayor. Kovacic is no stranger to the position of Mayor. The council elects a new mayor every year during an annu-al reorganization meeting.

Gary Kovacic has beed dubbed Mr. Arcadia by many in the community for his numerous civic con-tributions. He is also the founder of the annual Law Day which is a free legal ad-vice forum held each year at Arcadia Library.

Interesting, albeit a grossly inaccurate observa-tion. Crawford went on to affront and debase the out-going Mayor and newly se-lected Mayor as only Craw-ford and his anonymous disciples can. He went on to say: “But whatever the reason, there was very little

energy in the room. Instead you might have thought you were attending one of Bruce Inman’s demonstrations on how pipes get rusty. Or the most inter-esting ways to dry paint.”

Well Mr. Crawford, again, interesting armchair observation but again a grossly inaccurate in con-tent. Interestingly enough, although hardly surprising,

Crawford made no mention of his BFF Councilwoman Maryann MacGillivray’s “Anarchy” comment in rela-tion to Jerry Brown’s plans for California.

“I commend Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig’s appointment of Thomas Schieffer as the monitor of the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise,” said Los Ange-les County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich, who has

been critical of the current Dodger leadership.

“With his experience and leadership as a public servant and former presi-dent of the Texas Rang-ers, Thomas Schieffer will be a transformative figure

in restoring the traditional Dodger legacy of integrity and providing a family-friendly environment that will be a welcome devel-opment for Dodger fans across Los Angeles Coun-ty.”

The Monrovia High School Drama Department is staging the Once Upon A Mattress as its Spring Musical. The produc-tion is based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea and was originally pro-duced on Broadway with Carol Burnett in the lead.

The MHS production will be given in the Clifton Middle School Audito-rium on Palm between Ivy and Canyon. The dates of the production are May 5. 6 and 7, then again on May 12, 13 and 14. All the presentations will begin at 7:30 p.m. and costs just $10 per person. The Monrovia High School Performing Arts Center cannot yet be used as the state has yet to approve the criteria for the new fire safe curtain for that auditorium. The curtain cannot even be or-dered until that approval.

The story centers on a devious queen and her mute husband the king, their unmarried son and various members of the court. No one in the king-dom can marry until the prince does and the queen manages to veto every potential bride. Unfortu-nately Sir Harry has fallen in love with Lady Larkin, and circumstances being as they are, the Lady finds herself pregnant. How-ever, it true fairy tale style, there is pleasant ending and everyone lives hap-pily ever after (with the

possible exception of that devious queen).The cast includes: Princess Winnifred the Woebegone aka Fred: Amy SegalDevious Queen Aggra-vain: Kristen FedderoffKing Sextimus the Silent: Eddie OlivaresPrince Dauntless the Drab: Andrew BiggsSir Harry: Steven Fedder-offLady Larken: Paige Elwell

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Starting June 20th, the Cooking Academy invites your child to take an excit-ing culinary journey during one or more of our nine, one-week summer Cook-ing Camp sessions in La Cañada, each taught by our experienced Le Cordon Bleu trained chefs.

From Blueberry Muffins to Cheese Raviolis, Quiche to Double Chocolate Fudge, our hands-on workshops fo-cus on cooking from scratch using fresh, seasonal ingredi-ents and time tested culinary techniques.

Our goal is to provide a safe, fun and educational environment where camp-ers can learn to read recipes,

cook and bake, work safely in a kitchen, and explore creative food ideas in meal preparation while encourag-ing a lifelong appreciation for healthy eating.

At Cooking Camp our young chefs don’t just sit around and observe, every-one participates and feels a sense of delicious accom-plishment.

Our instructors and sous-chefs are talented individuals who love working with kids and young teens. Imagine having a culinary arts expert sharing their passion and depth of experience with your child! Our Cooking Camp chefs not only teach general cooking techniques

but sprinkle lots of lessons into the mix, discussing cu-linary terms, nutritional val-ues, kitchen safety and food science. Successful cooking begins in a kid-friendly en-vironment and our staff has designed a series of summer sessions where children can succeed in learning skills safe-ly and enjoyably.

So whether your child is interested in becoming a head chef or simply a maker of a mean pesto sauce, Cook-ing Camp is a wonderful opportunity to expose your child to new foods that en-courage them to expand their culinary palates and can serve as an ideal entree to culinary pursuits! Just ask the parents that came last year!!

Guided Discoveries Offers Unique Camp Experience

Guided Discoveries camp experience combines a host of dynamic activities, stimulating creativity and imagination. The classes may include Scuba diving certi-fications, under water video and photography, snorkeling, marine biology and Island ecology labs, sailing courses, kayaking, astronomy, robot-ics, rocketry, rock climbing, mountain biking and lots more. The camp promotes self esteem, confidence and peer relations.

“My Daughter just re-turned from a week of sailing aboard the tall ship TOLE

MOUR … I was filled with joy as I listened to her sto-ries… I am so appreciative of the stellar job of the crew… it was a great character building experience that gave the par-ticipants a deeply rewarding and fun experience that will impact their lives.”

This is not an unusual sto-ry; in fact, it is the more usual story we hear here at Guided Discoveries from the parents who send their children to one or more of our school science programs or summer camps. Whether they attend CATALINA SEA CAMP on Catalina Island, sail with the

tall ship TOLE MOUR out of Long Beach, or go to AS-TROCAMP in the San Jacin-to Mountains near Idyllwild, their experience more often than not enriches and inspires campers throughout their lives. Our summer camps are designed to educate, enrich, and inspire, keeping young minds engaged and turned on while school is out.

For more information log on to www.gdicamps.org or call for a free DVD at 1-800-645-1423. All our camps are accredited by The American Camp Association.

Gene McCarthy, Presi-dent of South Bay Open Carry said “If Portantino’s bill passes it will take away the only way you or I can defend ourselves,” Mc-Carthy, who a brief period with LAPD claimed that those victims of crime are the first responders and the police are the second re-sponders,

Portantino proposed the bill, which passed the state Assembly’s Public Safety Committee on April 12. It could hit the floor of the Assembly for a vote by May, officials said.

“What this bill says, you should not be on a street corner of main street California packing your weapon,” Portantino said. “You don’t need to pack your gun to buy a cheese-burger.”

California State As-semblymember Anthony J. Portantino (D-La Canada Flintridge) introduced the bill which would make it a crime to openly carry an unloaded handgun – AB 144.

Proponents of the practice of openly carrying handguns in public voiced their firm belief in citizens’ “God-given right” to self defense in opposition to this bill Thursday in Pasa-dena.

In a phone interview on Wednesday, Portan-tino said that he feels that shoppers and those enjoy-ing downtown life would rather not see weapons.

“I’m dissapointed about the rhetoric [regard-ing AB144]” Portantino said. “The next step is to push forward and get this bill through. Do what law abiding citizens and law enforcement across Cali-fornia wants.”

Portantino was dis-turbed by some comments posted on the California Open Carry Movement Facebook page in reaction to his bill as well as the “wanted” poster.

“Guns on the hips be-longed in the wild west days perhaps but not in Paseo Colorado.”Portantino said.

The Los Angeles chap-ter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and other groups coun-tered the open carry pro-ponents with their own protest against the groups’ actions. A prayer circle

hoped for resolution and peacful end to the two sides of the issue.

This bill (AB 144) would establish an exemp-tion to the offense for trans-portation of a firearm be-tween certain areas where the firearm may be carried concealed, or loaded, or openly carried unloaded, as specified.

Existing law, subject to certain exceptions, makes it an offense to carry a loaded firearm on the per-son or in a vehicle while in any public place or on any public street in an incorpo-rated city or in any pub-lic place or on any public street in a prohibited area of unincorporated terri-tory.

The bill would, sub-ject to exceptions, make it a misdemeanor to openly carry an unloaded hand-gun on the person in speci-fied public areas. By creat-ing a new offense, AB 144 would impose a state-man-dated local program as

well as making conforming and non-substantive techni-cal changes. The Califor-nia Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school dis-tricts for certain costs man-dated by the state. Statu-tory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

We requested informa-tion from the group SBOC and received the following email:

“We are a Second Amend-ment organization committed to defending ourselves and our fam-ilies. We will not be intimidated by the Brady Campaign or any other left wing group seeking to take away our God given right to self defense.

Suzanne Verge, president of the Brady Campaign Los Angeles Chapter, said she was dis-sapointed with the South Bay’s position and person-al attacks on Portantino.
