On Tuesday, three members of the Monrovia City Council voted unani-mously to certify the En-vironment Impact Report (EIR) and adopt the Mitiga-tion Monitoring and Report-ing Program (MMRP). This clears the way to implement the Minimalist Plan Alterna-tive to the opening the Wil-derness Preserve with some additional restrictions.

Monrovia High School’s long time drama director/teacher Marc Segal is resign-ing from his post at after the end of the school year.

While it comes as no sur-prise to many in the commu-nity, Segal’s announcement was due in no small part over differences with district ad-ministrators.

Marc Segal shared his

personal thoughts with Bea-con Media in a statement on Monday:

“After 60 productions at MHS, I am not ready to have to have my hand held when it comes to choosing shows and

deciding what’s appropriate for my students and the com-munity at large. I have seen over and over again that when I do “family oriented shows”,

When there is a holi-day near I usually try to write to it. I know Valen-tine's Day is just around the corner. I can't think of any sweet things to write. Besides, valentines are meant to be personal and private between two

lovers aren't they? How's that for a lengthy way to say I'm not going to write about Valentine's Day? Instead I'll share a kind of clever e-mail I received and got a kick out of. It was about.......Places I have and have not been......

I have been in may places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently you can't go alone. you have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport, you to have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, fam-

ily and work.I would like to go to

Conclusions, but you have to jump and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I'm in Ca-pable, and I go there more

often as I'm getting older.One of my favorite

places to be is in Suspense. It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart. At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible, but life shows me I am not.

Finally, I have been in Deeps#*! many times. The older I get, the easier it is to get there.By doroThy denne

Public Pressure Causes Komen to Drop Plan to Cut Planned

Parenthood GrantsAfter three days of

intense controversy and a host of resignations, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer char-ity has decided it is re-versing its decision to cut breast-screening grants to Planned Parenthood.

The Koman organiza-tion received such a back-

lash from supporters of Planned Parenthood and also insiders in the Komen foundation that the only option was to reverse the initial decision.

“We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commit-ment to our mission of sav-

ing women’s lives,” a Ko-men statement said..

“We will continue to fund existing grants, in-cluding those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants,” a Komen statement said.

Man Sentenced in Pasadena Art Teacher’s Killing

A Westlake Village man convicted of fatally shooting a Pasadena art college instructor at a party was sentenced today to 21 years in state prison, the District Attorney’s Office announced.

A Van Nuys Superior Court jury convicted Ste-ven Ronald Honma, 56, of one count of voluntary manslaughter on Nov. 17, 2011, for the killing of Nor-man Schureman, 50.

Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Thomas Ru-binson imposed Honma’s sentence at a morning hearing.

Honma and the vic-tim were at a Persian New year’s Eve party on March 20, 2010, when the defen-dant got into a fight and was asked to leave. Honma left the party but returned with multiple concealed weapons, ammunition and a serrated knife.

When Honma was asked to leave a second time, a fight ensued and the defendant drew a handgun, fatally shooting Schureman. The victim was a design teacher at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

The case was pros-ecuted by Deputy District Attorney Maureen Green. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department con-ducted the investigation.

Liam Neeson is Back in Action…with Some Soulfulness this Time

FilM review By Michael JaMeS Gonzalez

Director Joe Carnahan (“The A-Team”) melds in-telligence and thrills in his new film “The Grey,” and who better than Liam Nee-son to lead the charge of men against beasts and the elements of nature. Neeson, who is cinema’s favorite thinking man’s action hero, gives us a superbly interest-ing and nuanced portrayal of a complicated, stoic char-acter whose perilous predic-ament reignites his will to live. John Ottway (Neeson) is a clinically depressed oil company employee who works in the cold, desolate Arctic. Assigned as a kind

of security detail to a group of colleagues on a job as-signment, Ottway and his crew embark on an air-plane toward a particularly harsh and remote region only to crash land in the middle of nowhere. Ottway is clearly the only one ca-pable of devising a strategy that might keep the group from dying in the freezing cold, so he is thrust into the role of leader while he wrestles with the haunting memory of his wife’s un-timely death. What ensues is a tense survivalist plot chock-full with snow blasts, chase sequences involving

voracious, white-fanged wolves, and philosophical exchanges about life and death between the men. Although the film is some-what predictable at times and C.G.I effects unfortu-nately shoddy, the film as a whole succeeds as a media-tion on the human experi-ence in the face of a cruel and seemingly meaningless reality (a far cry from what the trailers portray it to be), punctuated by stunning and bleak cinematography as well as a soundscape that terrifically enhances the bleakness and violence of the Arctic.

In typical AUSD fash-ion the Measure A flyer the district sent out, download-able here www.ausd.net -> local funding measure information -> February In-formation Brochure (which cost them how much?) is de-void of both verifiable data and citations. Not only is there no way for a voter to confirm the per pupil fund-ing figures they give but the text of the measure itself is not included. Measure A is not found on www.ausd.net either. It might be there - good luck finding it. So I called the district office to find out more and they couldn’t point me to an online copy of the text of Measure A, but they were able to say that AUSD does not put the budgets on the AUSD web site - if anybody wants to see them they must make a written request to do so. Well, I do want to see them, and for the last 10 years, for some perspective on this issue.

This seems like some-thing the local newspaper should be covering. The state maintains records of some of this financial data, although the numbers are not measured the same

way as the numbers the district provided. At least I couldn’t see an obvious way to get from one to the other. The state distributes this information here: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/fd/ec and related pages (navigate up from that starting page using the links on it.)

Conveniently for the folks who want this passed, the “mail in only ballots” go out 2/13, so that citizens can send them right back in again before there is time for anybody to organize an opposition - or find out what the real numbers are to see if an opposition is warranted.

And the logic in the district’s flyer makes little sense: “we are down 17 million from 2007 so we are asking for 3,4 million.” Why 3.4 million? Why not 1.4 or 7.3?

The funding graph (page 3 of the flyer) uses both of the standard tricks for making misleading plots: show a limited time span and use a nonzero y axis value to magnify the apparent magnitude of the effect. 5625->4873 ends up looking like 5625 -> 0, instead of the roughly 15%

loss it actually is, To my mind publications that do that might as well write “we are hiding something” on the figure.

Don’t even get me started on their specious claim that the high district test scores are the result of their teaching, as opposed to the quality of the kids who attend the school. (If the AUSD’s teaching is so stellar why then does one also find The Princeton Re-view and many, many after school tutoring outfits in Ar-cadia?)

The text of Measure A is here: www.ausd.net -> local funding measure in-formation -> Board Report and Resolution calling for Measure A Election

The first time I looked at it I gave up after 4 pages of “whereas” clauses and so didn’t get to the Measure itself. (There is no table of contents.)

Anyway, enough rant-ing by me. A bit of ratio-nal analysis in a public fo-rum on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

David Mathog

Winning Golf Training for All Levelsfrom the Weekenders to the Pros

Golf is played by mil-lions of people around the world. There is Arnie, Tiger, Phil, and in Arcadia we have Gino Roncelli. Gino and his wife, Bingo, have been train-ing with us for a number of years on their physical fitness as well as training Gino for his golf. He has entered the Bob Hope Classic a number of times, and recently the Farmer Insurance San Diego Open Pro Am. His team won the corporate division; they include Ted Weeks, Gino Roncelli, Pro Ryan

Moore, Jill Cole and Riley Cole.

Let me share some train-ing secrets of golfers that I have worked with since my childhood days in Minne-sota. I caddied as a teenager and came home with a little bit of money and quite a bit of experience on how to train a golfer. The golfers I cad-died for at that time gave me insights on how to keep them healthy and happy in playing the wonderful game of golf. Over the years I have learned much more about keeping

golfers healthy and happy.Here’s what I’ve

learned. There are ways golfers can improve their stamina, technique, accuracy, and confidence, as well as love of the game. Golf re-quires body balance. Most of the pros have a personal trainer that keeps them in the game. As a professional trainer I recommend these following guidelines for win-ning golf: 1. Do some cardio-vascular work like treadmill running or jogging to warm up the body, about 10-15 minutes would be enough. 2. Stretch your muscles before you play. 3. Swing the golf club from both sides of the body. This encourages body balance. 20 swings right, 20 swings left. 4. Use a light pair of dumbbells 5-8 lbs and do curls, presses, upright rows, side lateral raises and wrist curls 12-20 reps 1 set. Now you are ready to play win-ning golf. Golf requires con-centration which starts in the mind. Visualize each shot before you strike the golf ball. A good example, when you are teeing off, see the ball hit in the spot of the fairway that you would like it. Be optimistic that you will hit the

shot as perfectly as you can. See a goal of improving each round of golf by analyzing your weaknesses and concen-trate on positive changes in your game.

Having a lesson with a golf pro can give you tre-mendous direction as well as confidence in your game. Having a professional fitness pro will give you condition-ing, strength, coordination, balance, and excellent confi-dence. There are many good books and videos on golf technique. Set a goal of im-proving your game by play-ing at least once a week if not twice. Occasionally go out and hit a hundred golf balls in practice. There are many good golf courses in our com-munity. Playing golf is a great chance for you to enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather and environment. yOU CAN DO IT!

Harry and Sarah Snei-der have trained many golf-ers over their 43 years in business. Do you want to improve your game? your health? your confidence? Give them a call at 626-355-8964 or email [email protected]. you will be glad you did!

Monrovia Gang Member Convicted ofTeen’s Attempted Murder

After a day of delibera-tions, jurors today convicted a Monrovia gang member for the attempted murder of a teenage boy in 2008.

Deputy District Attorney Stacie Mayoras of the Alham-bra Branch Office said Jimmy Santana, 23, was convicted of one count each of willful, deliberate and premeditated attempted murder, shooting

from a motor vehicle and as-sault with a firearm.

Judge Candace Beason presided over the seven-day trial. Santana is scheduled for sentencing on March 15 in Department 1 of Alhambra Superior Court.

Jurors additionally found true allegations that the de-fendant personally and inten-tionally discharged a firearm

causing great bodily injury to the victim. A gang alle-gation – that the defendant committed the offenses for the benefit of, at the direc-tion of or in association with a criminal street gang with the specific intent to assist, further or promote criminal conduct by gang members – also was found true. Santana, a mem-ber of Monrovia Nuevo Var-

rio, pulled up in a car next to the victim and shouted a gang-related statement before shooting the 16-year-old boy who was riding a bicycle. The victim was paralyzed as a re-sult of the attack.

This case was investi-gated by the Monrovia Po-lice Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s De-partment.

All Aboard! Screwball Comedy “Twentieth Century” Now on Track at

Sierra Madre Playhouse

Take an egotistical Broadway producer who’s had nothing but flops since a glamorous chorus girl left his stage shows for Holly-wood. Take the girl, a bit faded now, perhaps, and eager for new celebrity. Mix them together as they desperately try to out-ma-nipulate each other into re-vitalizing their own careers.

Then throw in the fact that they are also former lovers, and zing! you have the makings of an evening of fast-paced, hilarious com-edy at the Sierra Madre Playhouse.

It all comes together on the “Twentieth Century” train during the ‘30s when luxurious rail travel was the ultimate way to cross the country. The red velvet Playhouse curtain opens to reveal a cutaway view of a railcar that stretches across the entire stage.

“All a-b-o-a-r-d!” cries the conductor. And we’re off! Off to an evening of screwball comedy that keeps us laughing. It’s played with gusto at high pitch with rapid-fire repar-tee. Neither subtlety nor finesse are Twentieth Cen-tury’s forte. The train’s passengers are, in their ba-sic essence, two-dimension-al. Expect no more of them. But they are fun and are excellently played, the cast taking on the stereotypical roles with professionalism.

Arthur Hanket carries off the part of Oscar Jaffe as the broke and broken-down producer who hopes to en-tice Lily Garland back to his next (as yet undetermined ) play…and perhaps into his arms as well. Stephanie Erb

creates a seductive prima donna Lily. As George Smith, Matt Iseman plays the pouting current agent/lover with a bit too much poutiness not really befit-ting man of his stature. Ida Webb (Kimberly Lewis) is Jaffe’s secretary/manager who holds the plot together.

Beth Leckbee is the curiously heart-warming religious fanatic, Myrtle Clark. Dorothy Brooks and Barry Saltzman have chosen the train as a set-ting for their lovers’ tryst between Dr. Grover Lock-wood and Anita Highland. As Owen O’Malley, Alan Brooks is one of the more calming influences on the often-emotional travelers. Douglas Gabrielle, the con-ductor, and Matt Bolte, the porter, manage to keep the Twentieth Century Limited on track. Grant Baciocco doubles in the cameo roles of the nurse and Max Ja-cobs, as do Jill Maglione and young Zoe Hanket as passengers.

“Twentieth Century” is Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of a story by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, based on a play by Charles Bruce Milholland. Christine Sol-date and Estelle Campbell are the producers. Direc-tor Michael Lorre designed the sound, which is oper-ated by John Dimitri. Stage manager Kim Kurzinger is the lights operator; Sammy Ross designed the light-ing. Adam Smith designed the set, and constructed it with assistance from Ward Calaway and Don Berg-man. Credit Shon LeBlanc of The Costume House for the ‘30s costume design,

complete with the ladies’ hosiery dark back seams. Wig design is by Kevin Remington.

Soldate and Calaway did the program design and layout. David Edward Byrd designed the poster art and Lia Pearson is the produc-tion photographer. Other behind-the-scenes work-ers are Orlando Mendoza, house manager; Anne Marie Atwan, props; Liam Ruddisill, backstage crew; Thomas Schneidon, master electrician; and Dain Au-gust, dresser. Philip Sokol-off is publicist.

As one might surmise, with some clandestine lov-ers aboard the train, the play might well get an “R” rating—although many young people are already blasé about TV’s prime-time bed-hopping scenar-ios. “Twentieth Century” will continue at the Sierra Madre Playhouse Fridays and Saturdays through Mar. 3. Evening curtain times are 8 p.m. and Sun-day matinees are at 2:30 p.m. Admission is $25 for adults, $22 for seniors (65+) and students (13-17), and $15 for children 12 and un-der.

The Sierra Madre Play-house is located at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Ample free parking is available behind the the-ater and in other city lots. Restaurants on Baldwin Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard offer pre-theater dining. For ticket reserva-tions or information, phone (626) 355-4318, or visit the website, www.sierramad-replayhouse.org for online ticketing.

Pasadena Police Department (DUI) Checkpoint Friday

The Pasadena Police Department will conduct a DUI Checkpoint enforce-ment program on Friday, February 10, 2012. The hours of operation will be between 6:00 pm – 3:00 am. DUI programs are a useful and effective tool for achieving the Pasadena Police Department’s goal of detecting and removing impaired drivers from our streets.

The Pasadena Police

Department is committed to making the roadways safe for the driving public. Members from the Pasa-dena Police Department’s Traffic Section will be conducting this program for the purpose of looking for and arresting impaired/intoxicated drivers. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a mo-tor vehicle after consum-ing alcohol and/or drugs.

The public is encouraged to help keep our roadways safe and to ‘Report Im-paired Drivers by calling 911’ whenever you see a suspected impaired driver.

Funding for this pro-gram was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National High-way Traffic Safety Admin-istration.


Though not a costume ball, many choose to dress the part at the premier Sierra Madre event which will be held Sunday afternoon. The soiree benefits the Sierra Madre Library with funds raised from ticket sales and silent auction. -Photos by Terry Miller

Oak Avenue Intermediate School’s Proactive Approach to Bullying

For the past four years, the Counseling and Guidance Department at Oak Avenue Intermediate School, with the support of school administration and staff, has facilitated a unique event designed to educate students regarding the destructive influence of bullying.

For two days a year, the school library is turned

into a museum which high-lights the negative impacts of bullying on young peo-ple. Titled the Oak Avenue Museum of Tolerance, the project represents a collab-orative effort of staff mem-bers who see the value in delivering the message to students that all humans de-serve respect.

The exhibits are com-prised of student written

work, multimedia presen-tations, and a “chalk walk” featuring artwork with a message about tolerance that was designed by 8th grade students through their English class. The ob-jectives of this project are to promote acts of kind-ness on the campus, to give young people the tools and strategies to deal with con-flict/harassment issues in a

healthy way, and to make Oak a bully free school.

Oak Avenue Interme-diate School services stu-dents in grades seven and eight in the Temple City Unified School District.

For more informa-tion, photos, or interviews, please call Lori Johnson at 626-548-5000, Extension 1340 or [email protected].

Entertainment for the af-ternoon will include live mu-sic provided by Steve Vargas & Friends (folk & country blues), The Mellow D's (Singer songwriters & classic rock acoustic) and Sudbury & Ramos (Flamenco, jazz & folk). Magic Castle magician Steve Silverman will also be there to delight you with his sleight of hand.

A silent auction will again be offering lovely artwork, services, tickets to special events, restaurant vouchers, and many other tempting items. In addition to the auction, there will be an opportunity to win a weekend wine tasting in Paso Robles, a prize valued at $1,000. Opportunity ticket holders need not be present to win.

Tickets to the Wine Tasting Event are $60 and Opportunity Tickets are $5 each. Both can be purchased at the Sierra Madre Library, 440 West Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre, 626- 355-718 and at the following Sierra Madre merchants: Arnold's Frontier Hardware, The Bottle Shop and Savor The Flavor. Or visit their website at sierramadrelibraryfriends.org. All proceeds benefit the Sierra Madre Library.

‘Luck’ to Hold Open Casting Call Feb. 12, Season Two at Santa Anita Set to Begin Production

PUSD Districting Taskforce Slated for Feb. 13

HBO’s LUCK, which was recently picked up for a second season by the cable network, is seeking all types of every day race track char-acters and employees and is encouraging them to partici-pate in an open casting call at Santa Anita on Sunday, Feb. 12.

LUCK, which is writ-ten and produced by David Milch and is directed by Michael Mann, stars Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Den-nis Farina, John Ortiz and many others and is currently airing on HBO on Sunday nights at 9 p.m.

Casting for racetrack employees will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Top ’O the Stretch adjacent

to Clockers’ Corner and open casting will take place in Santa Anita’s paddock area, just north of the Seabis-cuit Walking Ring from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

All participants are asked to bring a picture of themselves and to meet cast-ing directors from Christo-pher Gray Casting.

“This is a good op-portunity for many of our employees and fans to be a part of a major league televi-sion production and to pick up some extra income,” said Pete Siberell, Santa Anita’s Director of Special Projects. “We had approximately 500 extras involved with Season One, and I would expect there would be a similar op-

portunity with Season Two.“Having a series of this

magnitude in production here at Santa Anita is a win-win for us and the commu-nity. Anyone who has seen the first two episodes knows how beautiful Santa Anita looks and when you factor in all the economic plusses, from the actors, technicians, grips, catering, etc, this show is generating a lot of jobs and a lot of revenue for the com-munity, across the board.”

Santa Anita’s cur-rent winter/spring meeting runs through April 22. For more information regarding LUCK, fans are encouraged to visit www.santaanitalive.com, or www.hbo.com.

On Monday, February 13, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. in the City of Sierra Madre Coun-cil Chambers, 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. Sierra Madre,, there will be a redistricting taskforce

The Pasadena Unified School District Districting Taskforce encourages you and your community group or organization to partici-pate in an important process that affects your representa-

tion on the Pasadena Uni-fied School District (PUSD) School Board of Education. A taskforce was selected and charged with the task of amending the Charter lan-guage and drawing new sub-regional districts with the purpose of electing future School Board Members.

The taskforce invites residents to take part in this process by attending the following series of meet-

ings and giving them your comments, concerns, and considerations on draft map illustrations that they have developed to receive com-munity input. Please see draft maps and dates for up-coming meetings at: http://districting-task-force.pasade-nausd.org/.

the attendance is never at the same level as say a “Sweeney Todd”, “Little Shop of Hor-rors”, or “Grease”.

Segal went on to say “Most of the ROP funding has been cut or swept into the general fund, so there is no money for compensation. (My extracurricular pay was cut 75-80%.) I have two chil-dren who just finished college and another starting in the fall and may need to find part time work elsewhere outside of my regular English assign-ment.”

Segal added that he felt he was “ getting a little old to run this whole thing myself. I’m not a young man any-more and the job requires a lot of time.”

“I get the distinct feeling that the district agrees with my decision and wants me to step down. Why? I’m not sure. Maybe because of the contro-versy, but I just don’t know.” Segal said.

In closing the popular drama teacher said “I hate leaving my students and I hope they hire the young man I’ve been training for the past few years. It would make the transition much

smoother since the drama program needs to continue at MHS.”

Segal and his students caused the administration to step in when “Rent” was not allowed to be performed by district officials. The adminis-tration in Monrovia wanted a kinder, gentler approach to drama and ultimately it may have backfired.

With some in the com-munity calling it censorship, MUSD denied permission for Segal’s revised version of “Rent” to be performed. The story is about a group of young poor artists, some of them gay and lesbian, strug-gling in the shadow of HIV/AIDS.

Students have defended Segal for trying to protect their artistic integrity and lam-basted the district for being overly cautious.

Students weren’t the only people to pipe in on the controversy last year: Arcadia Drama teacher Steven Volpe was amazed by the district’s decision:

Arcadia High School Drama Teacher, Steven Vol-pe, said the decision by Mon-rovia’s Superintendent of

education Linda Wagner to prohibit production of RENT was “ Ridiculous”!

Monrovia High school principal issued the following statement after the initial deci-sion was made.

“As Principal of Monro-via High School, and in re-sponse to the controversy that has arisen over the produc-tion of the play “Rent”, dra-ma teacher Marc Segal and I have agreed to release this joint statement with regard to the future of plays and musi-cals that will be produced at our school – Monrovia High School

We plan to develop a strategy to assist us in making decisions based on a com-mon philosophy for high school drama productions that fosters student interest in the arts commencing in the middle school years and continuing into high school. In the coming days, we will be crafting an agreed upon process that focuses on family-friendly content that would enhance learning and stimu-late the intellectual growth of our students. The Monrovia Unified School District and Monrovia High School strive

to provide an environment in which all students thrive, and to that end we will collabora-tively work together to ensure we achieve our goals.

The Board, District, community and administra-tion have supported the arts at Monrovia High School for many years. Most recently, the auditorium has received over one million dollars in renovations. These renova-tions were in an effort to allow for phenomenal plays and musicals for years to come. Marc Segal is a passionate, talented director and our students are fine actors. The combination of these factors will allow students to grow in their acting abilities.”

Darvin Jackson, Prin-cipal Steven Volpe says the school district’s decision to ban the play was “ absolutely and utterly ridiculous”. The play is about “understanding each other and how we can live with one another with our differences.”

“Rent is a wonderful play. yes, it has some ‘dark scenes’ but so do Shake-speare and countless other plays.” Volpe added that he truly believes that homopho-

bia is playing a significant role in the executive decision to ban RENT.

Steven Volpe, Arcadia High School’s Advanced Drama teacher said ” Theatre is Life”. He went on to say that the rock opera (RENT) is a complex play modeled on Puccini’s “La Boheme,” Jon-athan Larson’s “Rent” which depicts the lives of struggling artists – some of the charac-ters are gay and lesbian – in lower-east-side Manhattan at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980’s.

Steven Volpe belives that he would have put the play on at Arcadia High School without the surround-ing controversy and prohibi-tions. “I took my students to a production last year in Ful-lerton : The play was RENT! It was incredible and the stu-dents learned a great deal of the human emotion inv

olved in this difficult and complex issue Volpe as-serted.

“Do they ( Monrovia Schools ) want their High School drama students to produce only things like Peter Pan?” “Family Friendly is not serving the kids or the com-

munity…” he added.In place of “Rent,” Se-

gal ended up directing, albeit reluctanly, a musical called “Once Upon a Mattress” based on “The Princess and the Pea.” Attendance for the production was extremely low. It is interesting to point out that Arcadia’s produc-tions often sell out long before the production even finishes rehearsals.

The Spring Musical at Monrovia High School is entitled “The Robber Bride-groom” which will be Se-gal’s Swan Song. It opens May 2 and plays through May 5. Segal says “ It should be a great show and our clos-ing performance will be filled with alumni, parents and sup-porters coming to say, “So long.”

Marc Segal will continue to teach English at MHS next year. Linda Wagner, Super-intendent Monrovia Unified School District was asked by Beacon Media for a statement on Segal’s resignation as Dra-ma teacher for MUSD. The superintendent said

“We appreciate Mr. Se-gal’s many years of service to Monrovia students.”

The 3rd Top Producer for 2011 is Jackie Adaimy. Jackie is a native of Lebanon and an Arcadia resident. She not only speaks fluent English but is also fluent in Arabic and French.

This year, Mechelle Valenzuela won the coveted “Rookie of the year” award

The California Pub-lic Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Consumer Pro-tection and Safety Divi-sion (CPSD) has issued a Preliminary Report in its investigation into the cause of failed poles, restoration efforts, and communica-tion with the general public and governmental agencies during a recent windstorm in Southern California Edi-son’s (SCE) service area.

CPSD preliminarily has determined that SCE and Communication Infra-structure Providers, who jointly own poles in SCE’s service territory, violated General Order (GO) 95 safety factor requirements. At least 20 poles and 17 guy wires did not meet the safety factor requirements codified in GO 95, Rule 44.1. CPSD also found that SCE violated GO 95, Rules 17 and 19, for failing to ad-equately investigate the out-ages and pole failures and for failing to preserve the evidence.

CPSD found that SCE’s restoration time was not adequate. In addition, information in SCE’s emer-gency procedures were not updated and SCE person-nel did not follow the train-ing schedule outlined in its Local Public Affairs Plan. SCE also did not ask for mutual assistance from oth-er utilities. Such assistance would have reduced resto-

ration time. CPSD continues to

receive additional informa-tion from SCE, so this re-port should be considered preliminary because infor-mation is still being gath-ered and analyzed.

The windstorm out-ages report by CPSD may lead to a penalty consid-eration case. The report,

by the safety staff, is still preliminary. Once the re-port is final the CPUC will determine the next step, which typically would be a penalty consideration case where fines can be calcu-lated up to $50,000 per day per violation.

PUC President Michael R. Peevey used the word “ botched” to describe how

SCEdison handled the situ-ation. Preliminary investi-gations by the regulatory agency PUC found that at least 20 power poles that fell as a result of the wind-storm did NOT meet basic safety standards.

The windstorm affect-ed nearly 440,000 Edison customers, including about 205,000 customers in the

San Gabriel Valley. Some were without power for a week.

"There is no question that this, to some degree, was a botched operation," said Peevey, a former presi-dent of Edison Internation-al and Southern California Edison, at Wednesday's commission meeting in San Francisco.

PUC investigators re-ported that both Edison and communications pro-viders including telephone and internet, who jointly own the poles, violated safety standards .

The report is available at www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/enforcement in the Recent News box.

CAPAC Chair Blasts Hoekstra Campaign for Racially Charged Super Bowl Ad

Following the airing of former Congressman Pete Hoekstra’s racially charged political ad during the Super Bowl last night, Congress-woman Judy Chu (CA-32), Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Cau-cus (CAPAC), released the following statement:

“Thirty years ago, a Chinese-American man named Vincent Chin was brutally murdered on the streets of Detroit by angry workers who blamed Japan

for the plight of the U.S. auto industry,” said Chu. “Three decades later, Pete Hoekstra is stoking the flames of these same anti-Asian sentiments as he runs for the U.S. Sen-ate in the very same state. I am appalled at the Hoekstra campaign’s offensive and in-sensitive Super Bowl ad that relies heavily on negative Asian stereotypes. Politics of fear and division will never bring the American people together around the solutions they so desperately need,

and I am calling on former Rep. Hoekstra to take down this atrocious ad and issue an apology immediately.”

Hoekstra’s advertise-ment depicted an Asian woman speaking in broken English and a heavy accent to thank Democratic Sena-tor Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) for sending money and jobs overseas. The ad also di-rected viewers to a Hoekstra-sponsored campaign website that featured Chinese charac-ters and imagery.

of Appeals upheld former San Francisco Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, who invalidated Proposition 8 in 2010 after an unprecedented trial.

"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dig-

nity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relation-ships and families as inferi-or to those of opposite-sex couples," Judge Reinhardt wrote, joined by Judge Mi-chael Daly Hawkins.

Judge N. Randy Smith dissented, saying there

were "legitimate govern-mental interests" in restrict-ing the definition of mar-riage to a union between a man and woman.

Proposition 8 backers can now ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case.

Meanwhile Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich

issued the following state-ment on the 2-1 decision from U.S. Court of Ap-peals upholding U.S. Dis-trict Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s ruling that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional.

“Once again, activ-ist judges with a political correctness agenda have

Duarte Kiwanis Club Gets Updateon MOOSE Program

The Shakespeare Club celebrated the beginning of their Benefit Season with over 90 guests on Wednesday, January 11th at the Club’s Villa in Pasadena. This event was the “kick-off” for the mu-sical production of Meredith Willson’s, The Music Man to be held at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse on March 24th and 25th. The evening started off with a “meet and greet” cocktail hour, followed by dinner. Club President, Shirley Weld welcomed the members and guests and after a brief meeting turned the evening over to Ben-efit Chairman, Judy Norquist and Drama Chairman, Tan-ya Danforth. They reported on activities regarding the up-coming production and intro-duced the Production Staff. This year’s staff will be, Bill Shaw, Director; Rikki Luggo, Choreographer; Bob Ma-rino, Music Director; Darrell Clark, Lighting Director; and Annette Arce, Stage Manag-er. The staff presented infor-mation to the group regard-ing auditions and rehearsals and answered questions.

Auditions for the pro-duction are being held this week and next at the Shake-speare Club Villa, 171 S. Grand Ave., Pasadena and The San Gabriel Mission Playhouse. This is a No Pay/Non Equity production and auditions are open to men

and children only. For more information and an audition appointment please call (626) 281-1313 - daytime only. Tickets are available now for the production through their website @ www.shake-speareclub.org.

As a prelude to the Pro-duction, there will also be an elegant Gala with a Live and Silent Auction to be held at the Shakespeare Club Villa on February 25th, 2012. Some of the area’s finest res-taurants will be there prepar-ing and serving their special-ties to the guests. There will be entertainment to delight the guests and a few surprises too!

The Shakespeare Club will be donating the net proceeds from the benefit to their Scholarship Fund for graduating seniors in the Pasadena Unified School Dis-trict. The “Annual Scholar-ship Awards” was started in

1954 and each year a check is presented to four carefully selected graduating seniors in preparation for college. The Shakespeare League, which has now joined its parent or-ganization the Shakespeare Club, has had a long history (over 60 years!) of presenting full scale Broadway Musicals and donating the net pro-ceeds to many local charities.

The Shakespeare Club, organized in 1888, has the honor of being the oldest Women’s Club in Southern California. They have owned and maintained a lovely Ital-ian Villa on South Grand Av-enue in Pasadena since 1972, where meetings and events take place. They are cur-rently seeking new members year-round and would like to invite women of all ages to join them. For more informa-tion please visit their website @ www.shakespeareclub.org

On January 17th, the Duarte Kiwanis Club heard an exciting update from David Karp on the unique MOOSE Program at Mt. Ol-ive Alternative High School. The MOOSE (Mount Olive Outdoor Science Experi-ence) Program provides great experiences for kids ranging from creating worm farms and worm tea to plant-ing native foliage and man-aging a pond ecosystem and garden. This year the pro-gram will be partnering with the National Parks Service, and some of the participants will have the opportunity to work and learn in such won-derful locations as yosemite. The Duarte Kiwanis Club presented Mr. Karp and Principal, Kevin Morris with a check for $1000.00 to help

support the MOOSE Pro-gram. The Club is looking forward to their own “field trip” meeting to Mt. Olive on May 29th to see the re-sults of this latest investment. The Duarte Kiwanis Club has lunch meetings the first,

third and fifth Tuesdays of the month at Westminster Gardens. For further infor-mation on speaking or join-ing the club, contact Dr. Di-ane Hernandez at [email protected].

Duarte Kiwanis Club Hears from P.E.A.C.E.

Tickets on Sale for Pasadena PinotFest's Grand Tasting

Former Captain, Rita Beltran-Heintz, has quite a story to tell. After serving 25 years in Law Enforce-ment and focusing on “boot camps” for at risk teens, she began to get requests to help with much younger kids at-risk. Her unique program (Providing Enrichment At-Risk Children Everywhere) P.E.A.C.E. recognizes that children between the ages of 8 – 13 can be involved in graffiti, gangs, drugs or alco-hol, disrespectful and disrup-tive behavior or sex. Her program is created for both the child and a parent result-ing in a changed relationship. The back-to-basics approach sets goals for better grades, respectful behavior, integrity, discipline, self esteem and healthy lifestyles. The core of

the program is an intensive, 9 week program on Saturdays. Her entire staff is all volun-teer, and once the parent and child commit to the program, great strides are made. The Duarte Kiwanis Club had the pleasure of hearing Captain Beltran-Heinz speak at their January 17th meeting. The

Duarte Kiwanis Club has lunch meetings the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month at Westminster Gar-dens. For further informa-tion on providing a program or joining the club, contact Dr. Diane Hernandez at [email protected].

Surrounded by the scenic San Gabriel Moun-tains, the Altadena Town & Country Club is the ide-al setting for what prom-ises to be a memorable afternoon featuring both fine wines and fine din-ing.

Those on hand also will be treated to exquisite cuisine from top-area restaurants such as Noir Food & Wine, AKA Bistro, Altadena Town & Country Club, Bistro 45, The Cheese Store of Pasa-dena, and Polka Tots Cup-cakes.

The Social Whirl Arcadia AAUW to Learn of Urban Sustainability

SPARC Presents Singer-Songwriter Gary Stockdale Performs in Free Concert at Fremont

Centre Theatre On Feb. 11

What is “urban sustain-ability?” Graduate student Julia Casillas will clarify that lofty-sounding term by taking it to a more approachable, down-to-earth level when she speaks to the Arcadia Branch of the American As-sociation of University Wom-en (AAUW) at its February meeting. A graduate of Ar-cadia High School, Casillas is now a Master’s degree candidate at Antioch Uni-versity in Los Angeles and a recipient of an AAUW Edu-cational Foundation Career Development Grant.

In her presentation, Casillas will explain that urban sustainability encom-

passes both the most pressing environmental issues—global warming, air and water pol-lution, deforesting—and so-cial justice issues, especially as they apply to women. She emphasizes that women as “trail-blazers” should be recognized for their role in bringing environmental jus-tice concerns into the main-stream, such as Lois Gibbs’ taking on industrial giants in the Love Canal (New york) disaster. Casillas will also touch on the growing Food Movement in which interest in farmers’ markets, com-munity gardens, and other grass-roots efforts are flour-ishing.

Casillas will present her research findings on Mon-day, February 13, when Ar-cadia AAUW meets at the Church of the Good Shep-herd’s Jordan Hall, 400 W. Duarte Rd. (corner of Duarte Rd. and Holly Ave.), Arca-dia. Socializing and refresh-ments begin at 6:30 p.m. with the program to follow at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to this free program presented by a young woman whose interest and concern for the environment can inspire all of us.

For more information, please call Tamara Kato at (626) 375-6756 or Patricia Di-etrich at (626) 446-8437.

Hundreds Line Up in Arcadia forFree Frozen Yogurt

Jane Haderlein Addresses Economic Partnership

With a frozen yogurt shop seemingly on almost ev-ery corner next to a Starbucks, it seems only logical that there would be some serious com-petition…especially after a re-cent allegation against a high profile Korean owned yogurt franchise, Pinkberry.

Monday marked the very first National Frozen yogurt Day. In honor of this distinction, yogurtland -- the popular chain that lets patrons build their own creations – of-fered free frozen yogurt and toppings for four hours early Monday evening.

If the Arcadia store was any indicatiion how succesful the promotion was…then yo-gurtland has possibly corned the market so to speak.

6-year-old Ivanka Leon brought her Mom Remora and grandma Maggie along to see what all the fuss was about. Ivanka, who lives in Duarte, was waiting patiently while those in front of her cre-ated skyscraper-like mounds of the fat free stuff . I vanka was a little more conservative than most and not greedy. She just wanted to try some-thing different. Did she have to wait long? Not really, about 20 minutes. Ivanka said her creation was “good…very goood.”

Jane Haderlein, senior vice president of external affairs at Huntington Me-morial Hospital, recently addressed the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partner-ship on the topic of “Why Corporate Giving and Vol-unteerism are Good for Business.” In her remarks, Haderlein said that “Vol-unteerism is in the DNA of all Americans” and said that most people are “look-

ing for opportunities to do good and help make their communities a better place to live.” She encouraged businesses to support these efforts and spoke of the benefits local businesses receive by engaging their own employees to volun-teer in the community and by opening their doors to volunteers at the work-place.

Kids Helping Kids Create Meaningful ExperiencesStudents from differing backgrounds share mutually beneficial interactions

WhenFred Abramyan and Trent Benson, seniors at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, signed up to volunteer at Five Acres school in Altadena, both students experienced a new world. Abramyan and Benson selected Five Acres as part of their 85-hour, in-tensive senior community service project because they wanted to work with kids. After a few days of volunteer work, Abramyan and Benson’s eyes were opened, as they discovered some of the kids were not just attending school, but living in Five Acres’ care-to help them recover from painful past experiences.

“I’ve heard about children who have had

challenging pasts, but I’ve never had the opportu-nity to connect with them on a personal level” said Abramyan, 17, of Glen-dale. “Despite our differ-ing backgrounds, we were able to interact in meaning-ful ways.”

The special partner-ship between Loyola High School and Five Acres dates back more than 20 years. This year, 296 se-niors from Loyola High School are participating in a three-week, 85-hour com-munity service program at a Southern California agency that services the poor or marginalized.

“I liked being a source of motivation for the kids inside the classroom”

said Benson, 18, of Sierra Madre. “The kids wanted to complete their work so that they can interact with us. It’s all a part of our Je-suit philosophy at Loyola, to be men for and with oth-ers.”

Grace Kane, a 3rd year teacher at Five Acres’ school teaches the assess-ment class where Abramy-an and Benson volunteered as classroom assistants. In this class, Kane assesses the student’s ability and func-tioning level, which can range from the 2nd to 8th grade levels.

“This experience is mutually beneficial” said Kane. “Both parties enjoy each other’s company. And to see the kids smile

– it’s great for everyone.”The work that student

volunteers do provides a meaningful experience for everyone involved. As classroom assistants, Abra-myan and Benson were able to interact in positive ways with children from very different backgrounds and challenging pasts. The children look up to the student volunteers as role models who could provide them with support and en-couragement to complete their work. An added ben-efit is that the children and teens at Five Acres over-come shyness and improve their behavior.

“We enjoy having new faces around for the kids” said Kane. The kids

get very involved and ask them for help because they don’t see them as a threat.”

“I liked having them (students from Loyola) here because we shared similar interests, like swim-ming and video games”said Kevin*, 11, who attends Five Acres’ therapeutic school and lives in one of the cottages. “And I’m glad they’re going to visit again in the summer. It means a lot.”

Up to 80 students K-10 with behavioral, emotional and learning challenges attend Five Acres’ thera-peutic, WASC-accredited school. About half are resi-dents living in Five Acres’ cottages.

About Five Acres:Five Acres is a child

and family services agency that strengthens families and prevents child abuse through treatment and education in community-based and residential pro-grams. Originally estab-lished as an orphanage in 1888, today Five Acres of-fers an array of services in-cluding a residential treat-ment center, a non-public WASC-accredited school, mental health services, fos-ter care, adoption services and domestic violence prevention.

They Could Never Have Dreamed it: A New Gym

Congresswoman Chu Applauds the Overturn of California’s Gay Marriage Ban

Last Saturday, Kare youth League and Rio Hondo Preparatory School celebrated the Grand Open-ing of the Truman B. Stivers Center. The athletic and Classroom Complex was names in honor of Stivers, a major benefactor. He had been one of the first mem-bers of the organization when it was known as the Boy’s Christian League in 1922. Stivers had supported Kare youth League and he supported its mission and schools because he wanted to see children enjoy the same advantages he gained as a member when he was young.

At the dedication, Philip Ostergard, another of the boys who helped found the club in the 1930s and is now its president, spoke of the early days of the organiza-tion. He explained that the group which started in Pasa-dena and Sierra Madre met wherever they could find

space: an abandoned build-ing, classrooms at churches, even the basement of the Sierra Madre Police Station. They had no place of their own and played in vacant lots and public parks.

Ostergard said it was an organization for boys and by boys in that the boys organized the club and ran it themselves. The group focused on team sports and outdoor activities. He said that it was more in that Christian values were em-phasized and the boys in-volved pledged themselves to those values. The League has not strayed from them.

Ostergard would prob-ably agree with Brian Mejia who, representing County Supervisor Mike Antonov-ich was one of the dignitaries who spoke at the opening. Mejia said the facility would “help our children become leaders and great sports.”

In recalling those early days, Ostergard said they

created a list of the things they dreamed of for the club: a club room, a bus, a camp, even a school. They worked to fulfill those dreams. They started with just an old car (it was missing second gear) and they now have a small fleet of buses which can transport the members to their two schools and their own camp in the mountains. Those dreams were realized. Looking at the new facility, Ostergard said “A gym was beyond their vision.”

The new facility is be-yond just a gymnasium. The 22,000 sq. ft. complex includes classrooms, training rooms, a kitchen, 4 locker rooms with showers for stu-dents and a separate one for referees and officials. The energy efficient facility is equipped with state of the art media including two 80: screens and is fully heated and air conditioned. There is even an elevated open air terrace for gatherings and re-

ceptions.The main feature is,

of course, the gymnasium which can be used as either a competition basketball or volleyball court. In addition, it can be reconfigured as ei-ther two basketball or three volleyball courts. Beyond that, at one end there is a performance stage complete with stage lighting. In order to accommodate the stage, the basketball backboards can be electronically raised out of the way. The side boards for cross court games can be raised or lowered in the same way to accommo-date the age of the students playing as the League and its schools served children from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Even if those young men in the 1930s had added a gymnasium to their list of dreams, this one would doubtless be beyond their imaginations.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit struck down California’s Proposition 8 and ruled it unconstitu-tional. The proposition, which bans same sex mar-riages within the state, was enacted into law in 2008. A three-person panel ruled 2-1 to affirm the trial court’s finding that Propo-sition 8 violates the civil rights of gays and lesbians.

In response to the court’s holding, Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-32) issued the following statement:

“I have been a strong supporter of gay marriage rights since my entire ca-reer. I applaud the Ninth Circuit Court’s ruling that California’s ban on same sex marriage is unconstitu-tional. This is the second court to rule against Prop-osition 8, and it is further

validation that under the Constitution, and as a mat-ter of fundamental fairness, the LGBT community is due the same basic hu-man rights heterosexuals enjoy.”

“This is a tremendous victory for everyone fight-ing for justice and equal-ity. And while it should be celebrated, our efforts can’t end here. The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to

hear this case, and I urge the Court to defend the rights of all Americans by reaffirming today’s rul-ing.”

Congresswoman Chu has a long history of fight-ing for equal rights for the LGBT community. Her continued efforts for mar-riage equality earned her a 100 percent from the Hu-man Rights Campaign in the 111th Congress.

Alice Wang Named Arcadia Chamber of Commerce

Citizen of the Year

Monrovia Police Department’s Community Policing Program

Recognized as Finalist for the 2012 James Q. Wilson Award

The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce has named Alice Wang the 2012-2013 Citizen of the year. She will be presented the award at Chamber directors Installa-tion Dinner April 19.

Alice has been one of the most active volunteers in the community for many years. In the past year alone she is Vice President of the Arcadia Public Library Foun-dation; co-chair of the Assis-tance League of Arcadia’s Operation School Bell; Public Relations Chair for the Tzu Chi Foundation’s MWLA; a City-appointed Commission-er for the Arcadia Historical Museum, and on the board of the Arcadia Historical Mu-seum Foundation.

She also continues to devote hours each week to theArcadia Police Depart-ment’s Volunteers in Patrol Service program and remains a very active member of the Arcadia Chinese Association, for which she was President in 2007-08.

The James Q. Wilson Award for Excellence in Community Policing is presented by the Regional Community Policing Insti-tute - California, and spon-sored by the American Military University and the Office of the Attorney General - State of Califor-nia. The purpose of this award is to recognize Cali-fornia law enforcement agencies that have suc-cessfully institutionalized the Community Policing philosophy. One agency each year is chosen as the recipient of the award and two others receive recog-nition as finalists. Judging is based on the topics of problem solving, partner-ship with the community, partnership with public and private organizations/agencies, institutionaliza-tion of the community policing philosophy, and results.

The Monrovia Po-lice Department is proud to have been chosen as a 2012 James Q. Wilson

Award finalist in recogni-tion of our Community Policing Program. In 1991, the Monrovia Police Department embraced a new concept for providing police service to our com-munity. The implementa-tion of Community Activ-ist Policing (CAP) became not only a strategy for pro-viding police service, but a philosophical shift in the police department’s ap-proach to defining service. Police officers became community “activists” to affect change and solve long-term problems, utiliz-ing any resource available in the community.

Over the past 20 years, the Monrovia Police De-partment has continued to improve Community Ac-tivist Policing in the com-munity by introducing innovative programs such as Chaplains for At-Risk youth (CARy), Monrovia Anti-Gang Intervention Committee (MAGIC), Duarte and Monrovia Anti-Gang Enforcement

(DAMAGE), and the For-mative years Program. These innovative and col-laborative programs and our involvement with the Monrovia Area Partner-ship (MAP) have been extremely effective in changing the lives of many Monrovian’s, and are a true example of the Mon-rovia Police Department’s dedication to Community Activist Policing.

Even as staffing levels have been cut throughout the department during the current recession, the val-ue of Community Activist Policing and the depart-ment’s commitment to the program has not changed. The men and women of the Monrovia Police De-partment and the Com-munity Policing Bureau continue today to work with citizens, city staff, the school district, businesses, faith-based and non-profit organizations, as well as property owners, to main-tain the high standards set nearly 20 years ago.

Mayor Mary Ann Lutz, and Council Members Tom Adams and Joe Garcia all recusing themselves, only two members were left. City Attorney Craig Steele explained that the Council could not act or vote on any matter with only two mem-bers voting. He explained that under the circumstances the council must rely on the Rule of Legally Required Participation. Under these circumstances, state law re-quires that one of the coun-cil members declaring a conflict be selected by lot to engage in the discussion and vote on the matter in order to create a quorum, three aye votes being required to adopt a resolution.

Preparing for this con-tingency, prior to the meet-ing, Craig had cut short one coffee stirrer ( in lieu of a straw) and asked Lutz, Gar-cia and Adams each to pull a “straw” from his clenched fist. Garcia drew the short stirrer and hence participat-ing in the discussion and ul-timately the vote. After Lutz and Adams left the Council Chambers, Garcia, as May-or Pro Tem presided over the agenda item in question. It was a lesson in municipal government most had not anticipated.

City Staff including Community Services Direc-tor April Soash, Fire Chief Chris Donavon, Planning Division Manager Craig Jimenez and Recreation and Library Division Man-ager Michele Thompkins, described the history of the EIR and MMRP as well as outlining the Mission and Goals of the Wilderness Pre-serve. In addition they out-lined the various plans for a Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Preserve. All of this information is avail-able on line at the city’s web site: www.cityofmonro-via.org.

After the staff report and a few questions from the three remaining Coun-cil Members, the floor was opened to the public for comment. And for more than four hours, the public commented. Some were opposed to any plan to open the Wilderness Preserve. Some spoke in favor of the minimalist plan which was ultimately adopted. Others spoke in favor of other plans which would give greater ac-cess to the Preserve and re-quire the addition of parking lots, bathrooms and drinking fountains as well as adding additional trails in the area. Many of those who spoke

were new to the process but others were familiar faces to those who have been follow-ing the issue for years.

Cindy Gertmanian read a letter from a Traffic Engineer which challenged the findings of the engineer who prepared the portion of the EIR dealing with Traf-fic. This study doubled the number of daily trips to the Preserve from the original report. Even before the public input, Steele, the City Attorney, had noted that this study had been received and that the corrected num-bers had been incorporated into the EIR as presented to the council.

Michael Silverstein, an attorney representing some of the residents opposed to the EIR and the plan to open the Wilderness Preserve, said that the EIR should have been recirculated after the correction of traffic num-bers. He also called the EIR “fatally flawed” for this and other reasons which he out-lined to the council.

Also speaking on Tues-day was Pam Suess, who along with her husband, Tom, had retained Silver-stein to sue the city in 2009 when it adopted a plan for the Wilderness Preserve after declaring that an EIR was not required. The city rescinded its 2009 action sev-eral months after adopting it rather than face the cost of litigating the issue according to the city staff report to the council. This is what had led to the EIR and plans be-ing acted upon on Tuesday.

Suess addressed several of her new concerns regard-ing the plan which would open the Preserve. She said that her dog which had been attacked recently by a mountain lion was on the mend, but that she feared that in opening up the area there would be attacks on people. She also objected to what she called a viola-tion of “civil rights” giving the public access to the area by “going across private property.” Her final point was that this area was not a park, but that south side resi-dents were crying for a park in their area and suggested that a park there was more desirable than trying to turn the Preserve into a Park.

Suess’s father, Clyde Stelling also spoke to the council addressing them from a chair provided for him. Stelling told the coun-cil that his inability to stand while addressing them was the result of being “caught” in the Curve Fire several

years ago when he was trapped by the fire near his cabin in the fire area. He explained that the injuries he sustained then resulted in his current infirmities. He told the council that fire had been caused by people lighting candles in the area. Stelling said that fires in such area are usually caused by people who were not resi-dents and did not know the dangers present in such an area.

Delores Reid, who identified herself as one of two homeowners who “own” the road by which the city plan gave access to the preserve from Clover-leaf, objected to the city’s plan. She said that she and the other homeowner had given easements to public utilities and the department but not the city. She said the plan would spoil the quality of life and lowering of prop-erty values for herself and her neighbors.

Roger Northrop, who identified himself as the president of the Hidden Val-ley Property Owners, ques-tioned the replacement of the consultants, LSA, which early in the process had advised the council against using Cloverleaf as an ac-cess point to the Wilderness Preserve. Northrop also ex-pressed concern about the traffic congestion problems in the area noting the lim-ited access to the area. He also discussed the potential of fire in the area pointing out the danger as there is a heavy fuel load in the area which has not burned in over 50 years. He was fear-ful of people starting a fire. “Rattlesnakes don’t cause fires. Bears don’t cause fires. Mountain Lion don’t cause fires. Lightning rarely starts fires,” he said.

Others who spoke ques-tioned the security of scouts at Camp Trask in the advent of a fire, the potential liability of the city if someone were injured in the preserve and others wondered about the potential increase of illegal activity in the area necessitat-ing additional police action. These are only a sampling of the wide range of com-ments on, and objections to the project and to the EIR.

There were however some who made other sug-gestions. Among these was Harjit Soni while opposed to the plans presented to the council, he did make an interesting and original sug-gestions. He proposed that shuttle buses take people from Old Town up to the

Wilderness Preserve with trained guides leading tours of the area. He pointed out that this would limit but pro-vide more secure access, enable accountability for and of the individuals in the Preserve, and give a boost to Old Town Merchants. He noted that there was already parking in the Old Town and that parking near or in the Preserve would not be necessary.

In all approximately twenty five people spoke to the issue. Originally 32 peo-ple had indicated a desire to speak, but as the meeting dragged on past midnight, several speakers apparently gave up as names of those who had filled out speaker slips were called with no re-sponse.

The three remaining council members discussed the EIR and the various plans. After asking staff and the city attorney several questions, Council Member Becky Shevlin moved that the council adopt Resolu-tion 2012-07 with additional provisions. This certified the EIR and adopted the MMRP. It also put in place the Minimalist Plan for ac-cess to and management of the Wilderness Preserve “with the additional recom-mendations not to open the loop of the Lower Clamshell Motorway to public access where Braunton’s milk vetch is present until further evaluation to ensure that the proper mitigation measures are implemented, and ad-hering to the Interpretative Goals and Objectives and Use Goals and Objective regarding education and signage to ensure all Mon-rovians have access to infor-mation and use of the Wil-derness Preserve.” Shevlin added two other provisions, one of which required city staff to work with property owners to resolve access and easement issues, and the other required them and the city engineer to work with the residents to resolve parking and traffic issues. Her motion also included a formal review of the prog-ress of the plan every six months.

Her motion was sec-onded by Council Member Larry Spicer and carried unanimously, 3-0. After all this the remainder of the council rejoined their col-leagues and the meeting continued adjourning in the early morning hours with more than five hours spent on this one issue.
