TEMPLE CITY

Fourth of July safety tips were offered by Pasa-dena Fire, as well as appli-cation of Phos-Chek to the brush areas surrounding the Rose Bowl on Wednes-day morning.

Chief Dennis Downs advised residents that fire-works are illegal in Pasa-

dena and most surround-ing cities. He pointed out that the so called “ safe and sane” fireworks are quite simply NOT safe and sane.

The San Gabriel Val-ley Council of Government (SGVCOG) is experiencing significant internal conflict following two councilmem-bers’ requests for the im-mediate termination of the agency’s executive direc-tor. Since May, the council has been divided over alle-gations that it was responsi-ble for mismanaging a quar-ter-million dollar Caltrans grant, as well as the role of executive director Nick Conway and his company in the allocation of funds.

Earlier this month, out-going president Tom King called for Conway’s remov-

Pasadena and Sierra Madre Firefighters work on dowsing the brush around the Rose Bowl with Phos-Chek, a fire retardant used to fight wildfires. – Photos by Terry Miller

July weekend, Phos Chek is commonly used in wild land fires and usually red so pilots can see where they have dropped the re-tardant.

Sierra Madre and Pasadena Firefighters un-der the direction of Sierra MadreFire Marshal Rich Snider mixed the white phos-chek with water and

distributed it to several water tenders which then continued on the tour of the Rose Bowl brush area and sprayed the retardant in preparation for the July Fourth fireworks display which is said to be the larg-est ever this year accord-ing to Rose Bowl General Manager Darryl Dunn.

This retardant coats

the brush areas surround-ing the Rose Bowl, which helps keep trees and grass-land from burning. The main ingredients of Phos-Chek are phosphates and fertilizers, which helps re-vegetate areas after a fire is out. Fire retardant is one of the main tools firefight-ers use to contain growing fires in untreated areas.

Irish cont’d.By the time our noisy

little car limped onto the farm in County Sligo, we were at the northernmost part of southern Ireland. I was get-ting a good idea of what cous-in Hilary had meant when she said, “Your California wardrobe may not be quite warm enough in Ireland.”

Soon I was warmed by a loaned woolen sweater, a down comforter, the peat-burning cookstove and the family’s loving, all-enfolding Irish hospitality.

We were ten in all - - from Diana Pearl, the 70-year-old matriarch of the four generation family, to her 6-month-old great grandson.

They were aware of some of the many comforts

I enjoyed in America and they were more than a little dismayed at what few they had to offer.

I soon convinced them that, having happily spent my early years on a farm, I was very content and at ease with this return to rural ways. I was even able to satisfy them that I didn’t mind tak-ing a sponge bath in the tin basin or walking across the backyard to the privy where the door didn’t latch and the geese would sometimes come in with you.

Not all visiting Ameri-cans were quite so accom-modating. My first weekend there, we met a full fledged Ugly American. Their neigh-bor’s sister had returned from Buffalo, New York bringing her American-born teenage daughter, Kathleen, for her first visit. Diana Pearl invited them all for tea on Sunday afternoon.

“Darlin’ Kathleen” came in with her nose in the air and it never went down. She declined the tea, stating,

“I’m not drinking the water here. There is no way I’m going to drink water that comes from a bucket.” She spent the entire visit making it clear that there was noth-ing about Ireland she liked, including the people. She commented, “I come from New York where the people are sophisticated.” I wanted to smack the snotty little twit. Diana Pearl, nearly at the end of her string too, quickly retorted, “Well, me cousin is from California where the people are famous.”

In spite of this Ugly American, we made it through the tea. Her pres-ence stilted the atmosphere and our senses felt a kind of coolness that could not be warmed, even by the peat fire.

As Suzie closed the door behind “Darlin Kathleen” she turned and quipped, “Sure and ain’t she be thinkin’ her piss is punch.” We all broke up with laughter and sudden-ly the warmth returned to our cozy little room.

Cathe Wilson Collapses Upon Hearing Sentence

ciardulli said during the sentencing at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center. “She torpe-doed a $75 million project that would have greatly benefited the residents of Temple City.”

Wilson’s attorney then said he felt that pro-bation was by far the best option for his client.

A visibly nervous, frightened and shaking Wilson, 78, wiped tears from her eyes as Ric-

ciardulli read the sentence. Wilson then screamed

and the courtroom became suddenly silent. The con-victed former mayor yelled “No”…. “I can’t breathe” and slumped back in her chair appearing to pass out. The Judge removed himself from the court-room.

Sheriff’s deputies immediately cleared the courtroom to attend to Wilson’s medical condi-tion.. Wilson was taken by ambulance accompanied by sheriff’s deputies to county hospital. Reports of a stroke have not been confirmed.

Wilson was also or-dered to pay more than $10,000 in restitution to de-veloper Randy Wang.

“On her behalf I apol-ogize to the residents,” Wilson’s attorney told the court.

Assistant DA Sean Hassett said he felt the sentence appropriate after weighing all the evidence

On May 2, Wilson was convicted of receiving about $10,000 in cash and other bribes from Jay Li-yanage in 2005-06 and sub-sequently lying about it.

Mimi Mency was a lov-ing mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. But she was also a Monrovian. In

fact, you had only to day Mimi in Monrovia and every-one knew to whom you were referring.

Mimi was so determined

to be a Monrovian that she was born on Huntington Drive in Monrovia en route to the hospital. Born Mimi Luvenia Martin, she was the daughter of Eugene and Nar-rey Martin on November 13, 1936.

She attended Monrovia Schools, first Huntington El-ementary. then Clifton Junior High and Monrovia Arcadia Duarte High School. She was graduated from MAD in 195 and attended Pasadena City College before marrying young and having her daugh-ter, Sherellyn.

Before then, in the 1940s, she had become very involved in the Second Bap-tist Church where her parents were in the Deacon ministry and her sister was the church pianist. She remained an ac-tive member of the church throughout her life, serving in its Sunday School, Baptist Training Union, Vacation Bible School, Youth Ushers, Young Adult Choir, and later its Youth Director.

On June 13, 1965, Mimi remarried, this tie to the love of her life, George W. Men-cy, Jr. They had a house cus-

tom built for themselves on Fig, where else, in Monrovia. She had, by that time, started working at Pacific Bell in Pas-adena and rose from an op-erator there to a Supervisor in Los Angeles. She retired in 1989 from ATT- Lucent Technologies.

By 1969, racial tension which had been on the rise through-out the nation broke out into violence at Monrovia High School, her alma ma-ter. Mimi, like several other parents and clergy members, dropped what they were do-ing and rushed to the high school to restore the peace. They patrolled in two person teams (my own mother was paired with one of the black clergymen, Mimi, was, as I recall, partnered with Pat My-ers - start of a long association.

In 1972 she ran for and was elected to the Monrovia Board of Education, the first

African American elected to any public office in Monro-via. She served on the Board from 1972 through 1984, part of the time with her old patrol partner, Pat Myers.

Linda Proctor, former City Clerk of Monro-via who also served with Mimi on the School Board for many years, spoke at the Memo-rial Service on Tues-day. She called Mimi “a pillar of strength and

fairness.” She pointed to that Mimi fought for Title I and Title IV funds bringing Head Start to Monrovia. Proctor also called Mimi a rich asset to the Board and the com-munity.

In pointing out the importance of Mimi, City Historian, Steve Baker said, “Without Mimi Mency, there would never had been a Bob Bartlett,” referring to the first

African American elected to Monrovia’s City Council in 1974.

Sandford, another of those who spoke at the Me-morial, worked with Mimi on many campaigns includ-ing the one in 1974 for Bob Bartlett and what was called “The Team:” Bartlett, Eric Faith, and Pat Ostrey. Mimi brought with her a get out the vote crew from the Sec-ond Baptist Church which motivated an underutilized force in the community. Sandford recalled that she and Mimi had worked on many projects including the human rights commission, various school bond mea-sure and even Sandford’s own campaign for the School Board. She summed up her friend Mimi saying she had “strengthened our commu-nity and schools.”

Even before leaving the School Board Mimi expand-ed her service to the commu-nity. She began her service with the Community Services Commission where se served from 1978 to 1985. Commu-nity Service was apt place for Mimi for it was something.

The regular Sunday af-ternoon crowd at the Krikori-an Premier Theatre was con-fused last Sunday afternoon. As they wandered into the theaters clutching their tick-ets to various current release movies, wearing the normal

Sunday afternoon garb of shorts, Hawaiian shirts, san-dals and the like, they passed through an unusual crowd.

The theater was filled with well dressed mover go-ers. The ladies were almost all in skirts or dresses, the

men garbed in suits and ties with a few tuxedos appearing here and there. The occasion was the premier of a movie developed by supporters of the Tea Party movement.

The movie, Courage, New Hampshire, is set in

that New England colony in 1770 and focuses on the trial of a British trooper accused of seducing a local girl the year before. The liaison re-sulted in the birth of a bastard

Plymouth Elementary School’s Year-Round Edu-cation Comes to an End...On Wednesday, June 8, 2011 Monrovia Unified School District’s Board of Education voted and approved (5-0) to move one of the last year-round schools in the area to a traditional school year. The move to a traditional school year was prompted by the district’s push to start the academic year ear-lier in August, thus giving the students and employ-ees of Plymouth less than a month off for summer va-cation. As principal of this school, I need to set the record straight on a couple of items: 1) Year-round schooling provides a more student-friendly schedule.

Most of the school staff and parents really like the year-round pacing. It allows for students to en-gage in learning for three months and then to have a month break. This pattern continues throughout the year until the end of July. It is too bad that the old traditional school year’s schedule reigns supreme. The original reason of a traditional school year was to give children time to work on family farms dur-ing harvest seasons. This is no longer applicable to students in Monrovia Uni-fied. 2) The year-round schedule did not hurt test scores. Yes, Plymouth School’s API did drop last year (after being above 800 API for the last five

years) but it had nothing to do with our calendar. I was offended when a member of the Monrovia community stood up at the Board meeting and shared this naïve perspective but I was even more upset when a Board member echoed this perspective. This Board member has not been on the campus in almost two years (to be blunt). He did not attend the Board presentation that I gave at the beginning of the school year when I dis-cussed Plymouth’s scores. Monrovia residents should be aware that their elected officials are stating untrue facts and making decisions about their schools without doing their homework. It is my belief that the people

we trust to lead a district should be better informed and more thoughtful with the opinions that they share.

Plymouth School is an amazing school whether on a year-round or tradi-tional calendar due the dedicated staff, commit-ted parents, and wonder-ful student body. Maybe it is time to really get all the facts straight and to consid-er alternatives to the norms of education in order to better serve our students. Sincerely,

Michael Hoon, Ed.D.

The Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team is a group of dedicated vol-unteers committed to saving lives in the wilderness and to outdoor safety education. In celebration of the Team’s 60th anniversary, the Li-brary’s READ™ campaign honors the members by featuring SMSR on its third round of campaign posters and souvenir bookmarks.

Founded in 1951, the Si-erra Madre Search & Rescue Team -- the first search & res-cue team formed in Califor-nia -- averages 20 members, many with more than 20 years of experience in wilder-ness search and rescue. Re-sponding to approximately 60 callouts each year, SMSR serves areas extending from Chantry Flats to Mt. Baldy, Mt. San Jacinto, and Mt. San Gorgonio, from to Baja

California through the High Sierra and into northern Cali-fornia.

Sierra Madre citizens take great pride in SMSR. All members are trained in mountaineering, search and man-tracking, high-angle res-cue, specialized mountain rescue systems, communica-tions, field navigation, tech-nical rock and ice climbing, helitac techniques and sur-vival skills, and are certified to the level of emergency medical technician (EMT) or higher; members supply and maintain their own personal equipment. The Team owns several fully equipped vehi-cles to Affiliated with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. as high-risk civilian vol-unteers and a member of the national Mountain Rescue Association (MRA), the Si-erra Madre Search and Res-

cue Team is financed solely by private contributions and receives no financial support from any tax funds.

The READ™ cam-paign was created in 1985 by the American Library Association, and has proven immensely effective in pro-moting literacy among all age groups. Comedian Bill Cosby was the first notable to appear on a poster; since then, more than 150 celebri-ties have donated their im-ages for these posters, which convey the simple, but potent message: READ.

Eager to collaborate with the Library on this poster, Lar-ry Smith, President of SMSR, brought members of his team together to be pictured with their book selections in front of a rescue truck. Eric Triplett, Vice President, said, “The partnership between

SMSR and the Sierra Madre Library, both now and in the past, has been beneficial to both organizations. It has giv-en the team the opportunity to interact with the commu-nity with preventative search and rescue programs at the Library, and it makes the community not only aware of wilderness safety but also that the Sierra Madre Library is a great resource for knowledge about the outdoors.”

Every three months throughout 2011, a new READ poster will honor a Si-erra Madre resident active in the local community posing with a favorite books. Sou-venir bookmarks bearing the same design are available for takeaway at the Library, 440 West Sierra Madre Boule-vard, Sierra Madre. 626-355-7186. www.sierramadre.lib.ca.us.

The Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce will hold a rare Sunday Mixer and Ribbon Cutting on July 17th from 5 to 7pm, to help Adams Pack Station cel-ebrate 75 years in business. The Pack Station, located at Chantry Flat at the top of Santa Anita Ave., still runs a weekly pack of mules into the Santa Anita Canyon to bring provisions and supplies such as propane tanks, food, mat-tresses, and other items too large or heavy to carry in by

hand to the cabins located in the hills.

The Pack Station’s gen-eral store will be open for business to hikers and oth-ers, but those who pay to at-tend the mixer ($7/Chamber members, $10/non-mem-bers) will receive a ticket they can redeem for the Pack Sta-tion’s well regarded Pulled Pork sandwiches and a glass of wine. Beer and other bev-erages will be available for purchase.

Live entertainment will

be provided by Rubber Soul, a Beatles tribute band. In ad-dition to the ribbon cutting, a business card drawing will be held for door prizes donated by the Chamber and Cham-ber members.

Those attending who can do so may want to con-sider carpooling up the hill, because if there is a strong turnout in combination with good weather for hiking, there may be difficulty find-ing parking.

Fusion Academy & Learning Center Pasadena Breaks Ground on Cam-pus Project

In its ongoing effort to promote physical and in-tellectual wellness, Fusion Academy & Learning Cen-ter Pasadena, a 6-12 grade alternative college-prep private school with one-to-one classes, is breaking ground on an edible gar-den on campus that will promote healthier living as well as valuable life skills development.

Fusion Academy’s “garden-to-table” work-shop will give students a basic introduction to gar-dening and the tasty home-

grown offerings at local Farmers Markets, as well as skills in preparing and cooking fresh produce.

A small, 3x5 garden located on campus will feature a variety of herbs and fruits and vegetables. The project will provide fresh food and healthful options for both students and employees through-out the year. The program was the brainchild of Mo Li, a science teacher at Fu-sion Academy, who was inspired by the success of similar programs at UC Berkley (Alice Waters Edi-ble Garden) and UC Santa Cruz (Life Lab).

“An edible garden

aligns perfectly with Fu-sion Academy’s commit-ment to educating students to make healthy lifestyle choices,” Li said. “I’ve been impressed with how UC Berkley and UC Santa Cruz have implemented their edible garden con-cepts. I would expect that our students and families will embrace this project to make it a sustainable part of our campus and critical part of our curriculum for years to come.”

County Mayor Mi-chael D. Anto-novich reminds

residents preparing to cel-ebrate the Fourth of July that fireworks of any kind are illegal in Los Angeles County.

“While some cities al-low “safe and sane” fire-works, fireworks, of any kind, are illegal in Los An-geles County,” said Anto-novich. The penalties for possession or use of illegal fireworks can range from a

fine of up to $1000, to one year in county jail.

“With fire season upon us, it is vital that our County residents under-stand that fireworks can cause brush fires, house fires, millions of dollars in damages, injuries and even death,” said Antonovich. “Our firefighters risk their lives protecting lives and property -- they deserve our help in preventing fur-ther fire emergencies.”

Certain products like

m-80’s and m-100’s are considered explosives and are a felony to possess with penalties as high as 16 months in state prison. Parents are also liable for any damage or injuries caused by their children using fireworks.

Mayor Antonovich en-courages residents who see illegal fireworks to contact their local Sheriff’s or Po-lice station.

Superintendent of Schools Linda Wagner de-fended the actions of the Monrovia Board of Educa-tion last week when they voted to reduce the hours of library aids throughout the district. According to Wag-ner, no libraries would be closed in the district and that this was an attempt by the school district to keep librar-ies in the schools.

Wagner explained that it was a choice of what to cut and that the current state budget was forcing the school district to make cuts somewhere.

“Where should be make reductions?” she asked, “Should it be class size, the number of teachers, what?”

Wagner went on to say that it was impossible to “Pro-vide a world class education on a Third World Budget.”

She asked the com-munity to suggest where reductions should be made. Wagner also suggested that rather than merely com-plaining about the cuts to the Board of Education, the community should contact their respective legislators to ask for increased funding for schools.

al from the committee, al-leging that Conway’s affili-ation with the SGVCOG’s staff services company cre-ates a conflict of interest that renders him unfit for his ex-ecutive position. Diamond Bar councilwoman Carol Herrera seconded the sug-gestion a few days later.

Conway is the owner and president of Arroyo As-sociates, Inc., an Alhambra-based management consult-ing firm. The SGVCOG has an annual staff services contract with the firm for $782,154, an amount meant to be split between Conway, four other full-time employ-ees, and two part-time em-ployees. King has alleged that Conway’s true pay significantly exceeds the amount that he should be receiving under the terms of the contract.

In April, Caltrans de-livered a lengthy audit to Conway, requesting reim-bursement for a $245,130 Gold Line grant that it claimed the agency had mismanaged between 2006 and 2008. The grant was intended for developing the Gold Line Foothill Exten-sion, a project that would link 11 communities east of Pasadena to the existing metro line.

The 19-page audit al-leged that Conway and his company not only handled the grant poorly, but also received $36,937 in finan-cial compensation for their

work. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Public Integrity Division is currently investigating the matter on behalf of a com-plaint made to the depart-ment in May.

This is not the first time that the SGVCOG has received an audit from Caltrans. In 2006, Caltrans issued a comparable audit that criticized Conway’s conflict of interest as execu-tive director, in addition to raising several questions about the committee’s management.

In response to the Cal-trans audit, councilmem-bers voted to postpone the approval of the 2011-2012 fiscal year budget until the establishment of a part-time committee position that would oversee grant man-agement.

Further complicating matters, San Dimas resident Gil Aguirre has sued the committee on grounds that its practices violated the Cal-ifornia Public Records Act, a 1968 law mandating the disclosure of public records unless the governing body in question has a valid rea-son to conceal them. The lawsuit claims that the audit should be public record be-cause various aspects have been addressed in a public setting, thereby rendering it a matter of public interest.

The SGVCOG is a joint powers authority comprised of representatives from the

San Gabriel Valley’s 31 cities, along with members of the area’s three unincor-porated communities and three water agencies. The agency, founded in 1994 to address pressing regional is-sues, is responsible for over-seeing and responding to housing development mat-ters, air and water quality concerns, and similar issues of public interest.

The SGVCOG has several policy-focused sub-committees, each one spe-cializing in a different policy area: environmental issues, housing and economic con-cerns, and transportation. The agency also contains a series of advisory and tech-nical committees, including an executive committee and committees in charge of en-gineering and community development.

Two councilmembers from each city are repre-sented. Delegates and al-ternates from local cities include Peter Amundson and Gary Kovacic from Ar-cadia, Mary Ann Lutz and Becky Shevlin from Monro-via, Terry Tornek and Mar-garet McAustin from Pasa-dena, Nancy Walsh and Joe Mosca from Sierra Madre, and Fernando Vizcarra and Tom Chavez from Temple City.

The council’s new of-ficers, elected in May, are scheduled to take office on the first day of July.

Church

One Spirit Many Paths

Sitting on the sidelines of the track, the children shout-ed, “Look at the lights! Look at the lights!” These were the lights that each individual held in their hands, to light up the pathway of the track, to light up the spirits of those who lost loved ones, and to light up the world with their message: Celebrate, Remem-ber, Fight Back. These were not just any lights, but each glow stick that lit the track that night was a representative of all those touched by cancer. It was the famous tradition of the luminaria ceremony, where each individual held a glow stick soon to be bro-ken. First, they were cracked for those who had family members who were affected by cancer. Second, they were broken for any friend that was touched by this terrible disease.

Relay for Life, a 24 hour event held on June 25-26, cel-ebrated these survivors and loved ones who passed away from this disease. As we took the final lap around the Santa Anita Race Track that night, it was truly an inspiration to fight back against cancer because instead of fighting alone, hundreds of us stood together, walking as one big ohana. Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind. In great enthusi-asm, we gathered our cour-age to fight and lifted our spir-its up to the heavens to show cancer our strength.

Going up against all these challenges, we have heard cries for the cure, smelled the sweet taste of freedom as survivors, and have cherished everyday for those who have been touched by cancer. We have felt ourselves let go of the

little things in life and pledged ourselves to keeping the cause alive. Relay for Life has become so much more than life changing. Being a part of Relay is what you feel in your heart and soul, and going out of your way to spread cancer awareness and love to those around you.

With over 700 active participants, Arcadia’s Relay for Life rose to the top with a donation of over $118,000 dollars for the American Can-cer Society. The money will help go toward discovering new medicines, supporting patients in need, and funding other supplies to get one step closer to the cure.

17-year-old Monique Salazar, a cancer survivor of AML leukemia, said “I am so proud of all the support peo-ple have given! I am happy to be a survivor with this kind of

support.” Diagnosed at age two, Monique went into full remission at age six and is a proud graduate from Bishop Amat High School in La Pu-ente. A leading speaker in the opening ceremony with her mother, her inspiring story gives us all hope and strength that one day we will live in a cancer-free world.

It is true that Relay is nothing without the support of our 49 teams, 719 partici-pants, 25 committee mem-bers, and 1 event chairman. Event Chairman, Mr. Carter Spruill exclaimed, “It was an honor for me to be the event chairman over the past two years and in that two year period, even in these tough economic times, we rose over a quarter million dollars for The American Cancer Society and the fight against cancer.” But what amazed

him most was the number of youth volunteers who were involved with Relay in the past two years. Club Hope from Arcadia High School’s Hope Can Cure Cancer Club raised over $4,000, while many other teams also raised this amount and greater.

Fundraising all day with crafts, food items, games, homemade gifts, and raffles, each team did their best to decorate their campsite with the Polynesian theme, pro-mote their cancer for the booth, and raise money for a good cause. Tupua Produc-tions even promoted the Ha-waiian theme even more with a hula dancing show and jug-gling fire torches during the night. Enthusiasm and cheers from team members rose when the Miss Relay Contest began, represented by a male from each team dressed in

coconut bras and hula skirts to win victory, while who-ever was thought to be best dressed would raise the most donations.

Most importantly, how-ever, is why we choose to relay and what we have did, done, have been doing, or will do to help stop the spread of cancer. Team Captain Chair LeAnn Solis said, “I re-lay to honor those who have lost their battle to cancer, those who are battling now, and those who are survivors.” Together, as one big Ohana, let’s not only fight back against cancer, but win vic-tory over the number of lives cancer has touched. Let us keep our strength and pride to fight on and let’s continue our Ikaika Mau Loa, strength always and forever.

Ikaika Mau Loa (Strength Forever)Arcadia Relay for Life Raises over $118,000


daughter whom the mother, Sarah Pine refuses to identify. She continues to defend Sgt. Bob Wheedle, the British sol-dier, maintaining that he had returned to the small town to marry her.

The central character is the local tavern owner, Silas Rhodes, who also happens to be the the local Justice of the Peace. Silas is portrayed by James Patrick Riley, the show’s writer and director who presides over the ensu-ing trial.

Complicating the issue is the interest of the colony’s British appointed governor who sends an attorney to de-fend Wheedle. The attorney is somewhat unscrupulous in his dissent and vitriolic in his questioning of Sarah Pine.

The trial’s outcome is also influenced by pressure brought to bear on two of the three judges by the gov-ernor’s office. The local jus-tice, Rhodes, comes under pressure himself from the lo-

cals whom he assumes may take matters into their own hands depending upon the outcome of the trial.

Without giving away the denouement, suffice it to say, after the dramatic conclusion the town learns of an incident which occurred shortly be-fore in Boston. British troops had fired upon a crowd of Colonists killing five, an event we know as the Boston Mas-sacre.

Several of the scenes in the movie are quite well done. The opening se-quence which occurs the year before features a realist tavern scene in which the locals ar-rest several British soldiers. The patrol was dressed in civilian clothes and claimed they were attempting to ap-prehend deserts. They are not believed and the local citi-zens inadvertently identify the soldiers as kidnappers and unwittingly allow the deserts to escape.

The arrest of the soldiers

leads to the incarceration of the soldiers and leads to the meeting between Sarah and Wheedle. The result is the child she bears later.

The dramatic tavern scene is dimly but appropri-ately lit as are the courtroom scenes later in the film. The trial is depicted as occurring in a cramped equally dimly lit tavern room decorated with what appears to be time period appropriate fittings. The feels in both scenes works well.

It is not that the movie is without certain historical inac-curacies. The dialog is not time appropriate and there is an amazing lack of the usual British accents: North Um-brian, Scottish, etc. However this does make the plot easier to follow.

In all, the movie is fasci-nating, fast paced and grip-ping. In all, the movie is over all a darned good yarn.

Tea Party Premiers in Monrovia: It's a darned good yarn

The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District has confirmed two more crows infected with West Nile virus and is await-ing confirmation on an addi-tional bird. The birds were collected from the cities of Baldwin Park and Covina. Last month, the District re-ported its first indication of WNV activity in an infected crow collected from the city of West Covina.

Of added concern, 62% of Los Angeles County dead birds reported to the State WNV Hotline last week were from the San Gabriel Valley. “This is not good news,” said Kenn Fujioka, Assistant Man-ager at the District, “WNV activity is increasing rapidly now that the weather has warmed. Residents must take an active role in address-ing this public health prob-lem.”

Residents are encour-aged to:1. Report all dead birds to

the WNV Hotline – (877) WNV-BIRD (877-968-2473) or www.westnile.ca.gov.2. Check for and remove all standing water around the home. 3. Report mosquitoes and neglected pools, spas, and fountains to the District at (626) 814-9466 or www.sgv-mosquito.org.4. Wear protective clothing and repellents on exposed skin when outdoors in the evening or early morning hours.

One neglected swim-ming pool can breed mil-lions of mosquitoes placing an entire neighborhood at risk. The District’s annual Helicopter Surveillance Pro-gram has identified a record number of neglected pools this year. All of the WNV infected crows have been col-lected from areas with a high density of neglected pools.

“We have already seen an unbelievable increase in neglected pools. So far, 827

have been spotted from the air, nearly twice that seen at the same time last year, and we’re not finished yet” notes DeAndre Ware, the Dis-trict’s Technician overseeing the Helicopter Surveillance Program.

“Our partnership with Pasadena Police Depart-ment’s Foothill Aerial Sup-port Team has been a life saver, literally” noted Fujioka. “Suppressing early-season mosquito populations is a critical component of our proactive WNV suppression program.”

To combat this prob-lem, the District is hiring ad-ditional field personnel and encourages the media to as-sist us in getting this informa-tion out to the public.

More West Nile Virus Found – Neglected Pools May be to Blame

Senior and two-time La Salle Hall of Fame induct-ee, Ricky Deneen recently signed and accepted admit-tance to Whittier College and received the John Greenleaf Whittier Merit Scholarship to play water polo for Whittier College.

Ricky has earned eight Varsity Letters at La Salle. Four years on both the water polo and swim teams. Twice he has earned Most Valu-able Player and First Team All-League honors. Seven years of club experience with Rose Bowl and numerous playing opportunities in the annual USA Water Polo As-sociation’s Junior Olympics, along with wonderful guid-ance from La Salle’s Coach Jeff Chase, has enabled him to develop into a Division 1 player. However, his interest in being an impact player immediately to a program and being better able to complete his undergraduate major in four years made it much more realistic to play

for Whittier than to pursue a Division 1 school. Ricky stat-ed that Coach Chase really helped him keep his focus on the future, using abilities and leadership in the pool to help him in the next stage of his life.

After entertaining inter-est from a number of colleg-es, it was Whittier’s Coach Justin Pudwill’s “persistent pursuit of me” that became the driving reason for choos-ing his team and school over the other Division 3 schools. Coming up one goal short of winning their division last year, “Coach Pudwill hopes my strong outside shot will really help win a champion-ship for Whittier next sea-son.” Adding to the desire to continue playing water polo at the collegiate level is the brand new swim facility being built on campus. Plus Whittier’s level of play has kept them at the top of their division. Ricky intends to ma-jor in business at Whittier and looks forward to taking his tal-ent to the next level.

Senior Kyle Van der Linde has signed to attend and play water polo at Pitzer College in the fall, where he will join the Pomona-Pitzer water polo team. Kyle trans-ferred to La Salle as a junior,

and immediately became a vital part of the varsity water polo team. He was awarded Most Inspirational Player in his junior year, and was given the Coach’s Award as a se-nior. He has lettered in both water polo and swimming at La Salle, where he ben-efitted from the enthusiastic and professional coaching of Coaches Jeff Chase and Nicki Maichrowicz. He is also a member of the Rose Bowl Water Polo Club team, where his team took first place in the US Club Champion-ships, the Gold Medal in the South Florida International Tournament, first place in the John Hale Tournament, and third place in California Cup, among other highlights. He

credits Rose Bowl Coaches Dan Leyson and Jason Falitz with teaching him a great work ethic, and the sport of water polo for teaching him how to attain success both in and out of the pool. Kyle is very happy to be able to combine the love of his sport with a college the caliber of Pitzer, where he will also attend classes at Pomona, Harvey-Mudd, Scripps and Claremont-McKenna. He presently plans to major in Business and Ethical Green Technology, with a minor in engineering. He is grateful to La Salle for preparing him so well for that endeavor, and to Coach Chase for his unfailing support of his college plans.

dia woodland on Jan. 12 also included John Quig-ley, 50, of Glendale and Travis Jochimsen, 28, of Lancaster. These two are scheduled to appear in court sometime in July.

The women agreed to

a settlement as prosecutors dropped their demand for more than $22,000 in res-titution, lowered the fines from up to $3,000 to $60 and dropped the charge of obstructing a police officer.

neighboring communities and some as far away as Paso Robles.

Adding their voice to the 62,000 grocery work-ers represented by United Food and Commercial Workers, community lead-ers urged Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons to negotiate a fair contract that affords workers the opportunity to make ends meet instead of burdening taxpayers with

health care costs. “While these grocery

store chains scored $5 bil-lion in profits over the last three years, they want to shift the cost of health care to workers and taxpayers to boost their profits anoth-er three percent,” said Rick Icaza, President of UFCW Local 770. “We want a fair contract that respects the workers who are the back-bone of these profitable

companies.” According to organiz-

ers, the three national gro-cery chains at the bargain-ing table made $5 billion in gross profits over the last three years, paying $500 million in dividends to Wall Street and investors.

The health care pro-posal being pushed by Ralphs, Vons and Albert-sons is said to potentially boost their profits another

3% by shifting $450 mil-lion of health care costs to employees. The shift also would burden taxpayers by forcing workers unable to afford these higher pre-miums onto Medicare and the state’s Healthy Fami-lies program.

If implemented, man-agement’s proposal could “amount to as much as 50% of the average full-time worker’s take home pay, as much as an addi-tional $11,000 in costs. The overwhelming number of grocery workers today is permanent part-time em-ployees whose average

annual income hovers around $17,000” Accord-ing to a press release hand-ed to media Tuesday.

“Our hard work is one of the reasons they have been able to score record profits. We only want what is fair. Right now they be-lieve we’re too afraid to walk out, but they don’t understand that for a lot of us, our health care plans are the only way we can make ends meet,” said 21-year Albertsons checker Kelly Pierce.

While talks presided over by a federal mediator are still ongoing, UFCW

members voted in April to authorize a strike if the gro-cery chains insist on replac-ing their current healthcare plan.

Tuesday’s event was one of three across the Southland at the corpo-rate headquarters of Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons. Community leaders at all three locations urged the companies to come to fair agreement that respects workers and their rights.

Calls to Von’s head-quarters were not immedi-ately returned.

The Sierra Madre City Council and Rede-velopment Agency al-located $75,000 for new playground equipment geared towards children 2 -5 years old in Memo-rial Park. Residents will enjoy a well-designed, ac-cessible and beautiful play area. It is a wonderful space for kids; bright and colorful, it encourages the youngsters to run around and play. The playground equipment features a wave zip slide, an ABC climbing wall, rock wall and um-brella canopies. The new playground also incorpo-rates traditional equipment such as swings (two belt seat swings and two tot seat swings) and a dragon fly totter, which will appeal to a variety of ages. The tiny tots have loved the sand pit area which has been kept in the process of renovat-ing the playground. The installation is expected to finish this week.

The Sierra Madre City Council and Community Services Commission in-vites you to join them for the Memorial Park Play-ground Dedication Cere-mony. The ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 30th at 5:00 p.m. in Memo-rial Park, located at 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre, CA 91024. Please contact the Community and Personnel Services Department for more infor-mation at 626-355-5278.

Continued from page 12012, August 11, 2012, Au-gust 25, 2012 - for a total of five concerts.

“Santa Anita Park is thrilled to announce its new association with Cal Phil and all of the exciting things that we have in store for concert-goers beginning next sum-mer,” said George Haines, President of Santa Anita Park. “We take great pride in pro-viding the Southland with the finest entertainment, and are pleased to not only offer first class horse racing, but now the best of summer concerts.

The California Philharmonic is a front runner among or-chestras—what better place for them to perform than at one of the world’s greatest outdoor pleasure grounds.”

With table and lawn seating on the plush green grass of the infield and the ar-ea’s best unobstructed view of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Anita Park is the perfect backdrop to the great music performed by the California Philharmonic un-der the masterful direction of Maestro Victor Vener. But

that is just the beginning. Cal Phil’s new summer home also boasts many amenities that will enhance the Festival on the Green experience for both the audience and musi-cians.

“Cal Phil is honored to call Santa Anita Park its new summer home beginning June 2012. I personally have always been a huge fan of the venue and everything it has to offer ranging from top tier horseracing to amazing views and atmosphere,” said Vener, who founded Cal Phil more than 15 years ago. “The energy at Santa Anita Park is palpable and we are thrilled to share the 2012 Festival on the Green concert series with our longtime followers as well as an ever-expanding new au-dience.”

Among its many distinc-tions, Santa Anita Park has ample and convenient onsite parking to accommodate every attendee, plentiful per-manent restrooms and four full bars offering not only beer and wine but premium spirits. There will also be live video of the performance on

jumbo video screens, allow-ing music lovers to witness the intricacy and wonder of music making, whether they are seated at a table or loung-ing on the lawn.

The unique space also features corporate BBQ pits for pre-party festivities and pre-concert family-friendly activities that include pony rides, a musical instrument petting zoo and playground for the kids.

While attendees are able to bring their own picnic or fine bottle of wine, why would they when Santa Anita Park’s award-winning chefs will prepare a wide range of delicious dishes available for concert patrons to purchase on site.

Continuing Cal Phil’s Festival on the Green tradi-tion, there will also be live jazz music pre-concert and, something new, post-concert. The live music will continue into the evening during the public after party where concert-goers will have the opportunity to speak with the Maestro and featured per-formers.

Following are the last week’s highlighted issues and events:Grand Theft Auto / Residential Burglary / Pursuit - Suspect Ar-restedOn June 17, the Special Enforcement Team (SET) received information that a suspect with a stolen ve-hicle was in the southwest

area of our city. Members of SET and patrol respond-ed to the area and found the moving vehicle in the 800 block of West Hun-tington. The vehicle was being driven by a male adult. Members of the Spe-cial Enforcement Team at-tempted to stop the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle fled from the officers and a short pursuit ensued. In an effort to evade officers, the fleeing suspect drove at high rates of speed and ran several red lights. The suspect then purposely sideswiped several parked cars on a residential street. He then turned the wrong way on a one way street into oncoming traffic. The suspect slowed down in the 200 block of East Central and then jumped out of the vehicle while it was still moving. A short foot pursuit followed, and the suspect was caught and ar-rested. The vehicle the sus-pect was driving had been stolen from Altadena.

She pushed him away, but he continued to follow her. The suspect also made attempts to pull her into parking lots as she tried to get away. At one point, the suspect approached her and she kicked him in the groin and ran to the gas station. An officer located the suspect, who was still in the area of Huntington and Mountain, and detained him. The suspect told the officer he had followed the female because she was at-tractive, and he thought she was flirting with him. He also stated he did not know the victim was a juvenile.

left parked in the 400 block of West Huntington. Offi-cers searched the suspect’s vehicle, but no additional evidence was located. The suspect was arrested.

“Ripped from the headlines.” But expect a lighter tone—much light-er—when you see “Solid Gold Cadillac” at the Si-erra Madre Playhouse. The play is definitely a parody of real-life news, and the characters are so overdrawn as to seem al-most caricatures. That said and understood, we can settle in to an evening of watching a naïve widow challenging the CEOs of General Products Corp. as she tries to protect her 10 shares in the company.

The resonant voice of Barry Schwam weaves a thread of a faux Cinder-ella fairytale throughout the play. The parallels are tongue-in-cheek, and set the wry comedic mood of “Solid Gold Cadillac.”

As the curtain opens we see four of the big-wigs happily promoting themselves into better jobs and fatter salaries. A rather glitzy lady sits pas-sively through the business meeting…until she starts rummaging through the agenda. Then she starts fir-ing questions—how much do you get paid?...for how many meetings?...that last how long?

As Mrs. Laura Par-tridge, Georgan George emerges as both innocent and feisty. She’s annoy-ing and persistent. After much dithering and put-ting their heads together, the bosses decide to hire her to keep her quiet. Nor-man Igar plays T. John Blessington, the top dog. Other board members are Kent Vaughan as Alfred Metcalfe, Aric Cushing as Warren Gillie, and Tony Cichetti as Clifford Snell,

all playing the conniving big shots to the hilt.

So Laura Partridge is hired, but not put to work. She even has a young sec-retary, Amelia Shotgraven (Melanie Rashbaum) who has been instructed to block Laura’s efforts. To no avail, for Laura soon makes her own job—writ-ing letters to other minor stockholders seeking their support in making the bosses accountable for their actions.

The firm also sends her to Washington to meet with Edward L. McKeev-er, another partner but an honest one. Michael Bruce portrays him as overstressed and frenetic in a comic sequence of of-fice gymnastics. Can Laura and McKeever thwart the wrongdoers?

“Solid Gold Cadillac” also offers a smidgen of ro-mance and sexy intrigue. Jessica Fox, tall and lithe, plays several roles ranging from a model, well-ogled by the gents, to a cameo part of little old lady.

Rounding out the cast are Jeremy Mascia, Sasha Golberg, Kevin Allesee and understudy Eric Del-gado.

This comedy, written half a century ago, has a theme as current as tomor-row’s news. But its inter-pretation is basically farci-cal, and is to be enjoyed for its laughs even while it may give us pause for seri-ous reflection.

“Solid Gold Cadillac” by Howard Teichmann and George S. Kaufman is directed by Ken Salsman and produced by Ward Calaway. Mike Dessin is stage manager; assistant

stage manager is Julianne Bull.

David Calhoun clev-erly designed the set with four “offices” on two lev-els, with the action flow-ing from one to another. As lighting designer and master carpenter, he heads the construction crew composed of Anne Marie Atwan, Karen Young, Des-sin, and Calaway. Atwan is also property manager.

Lois Tedrow’s cos-tuming typifies the roles, from svelte glamour for Ms. Fox to business-suited men. Poster art is by Kate Vandevender. Program design and layout is by Footlights Publishing., Inc. Calaway did the produc-tion photography, and Philip Sokoloff the public-ity.

“Solid Gold Cadillac” will continue at the Sierra Madre Playhouse week-ends through July 30. Cur-tain time is 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Admission is $20 general, $17 for seniors (65+) and students (13-17), and $12 for children 12 and under.

The Sierra Madre Playhouse is located at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Si-erra Madre. City lots offer free parking. Restaurants on Baldwin Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard offer pre -theater dining.
