Pasadena’s history. It also has made history as the World’s Largest Street “painting” festival deemed, albeit unofficially, by the famous Guinness Book of World Records. Organizers of the two day event said the famous festival attracted more than 100,000 people to two-day event the Paseo Colorado shopping center. The event was co-sponsored by the Paseo Colorado and the Light Bringer Project – which also hosts the annual Occasional Doo Dah Parade. About 600 artists of all ages and skills created over 170 pastel chalk murals with
You may have noticed the newly erected, inviting archway that welcomes one to old town Monrovia. Perhaps you’ve seen the Red Car depiction at Paragon. It is all part of a plan that’s working in major cities across the US and spearheaded locally by one of Monrovia’s councilmen. At the core of the community’s public art strategy is the Art in Public Places Ordinance that was adopted in 2004 at the urging of Council Member Joe Garcia. The Ordinance estab-
its 42nd annual meeting at Santa Anita Park, with opening day set for Sept. 29, it was announced at a meeting of the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) on Tuesday. Oak Tree, which had its lease with Santa Anita’s corporate owner, Magna I nter nat iona l Develop ment (MID) voided this past May, was originally inked to run at Santa Anita through 2016. At Tuesday’s CHRB meeting, MID Chairman Frank Stronach agreed to a special, one-year lease

depicting everything from the old masters to cartoon characters such as Huckelberry Hound. Officials from the Guinness Book of World Records, who hovered around the artists like private eyes, determined the event to be the largest street-painting festival on record, according to Light Bringer Project President Tom Coston . Paseo Colorado’s Jodi Taylor-Zens said that the Guinness Book of Records company was very helpful in getting all the necessary paperwork completed to enter and submit the popular chalk fest for the prestigious title. Instead of flying over judges from England, the mall hired local official witnesses who acted on behalf of Guinness to help qualify the festival for their Book of World Records. The official notification may still take a few weeks, but officials are hopeful that the preliminary requirements have been met and that, in fact, the Pasadena Chalk Festival will be included in the next Guinness Book of Records.

Summer is here. My oldest granddaughter is a teacher. She loves it but, none the less, like all teachers she is looking forward to her summer break. Even after all the years I’ve been out of the classroom, boy do I understand. Every time she and I talk on the subject of teaching, it brings back a different memory for me. When I taught sixth grade, there were times when I would wonder, “Is it worth it?” I remember one of those times. It was a rather trying, frustrating day. It was picture day. Before school started, the early morning routine had already been disrupted by staff-picture taking. The kids arrived ready for their pictures, looking beautiful but

higher than kites. I was bombarded all morning by the echoing question, “When are we going to get our pictures taken?” There were about thirty-eight individual homework contracts to discuss - enough in itself to decimate any sane teacher. There was a social studies movie which had to be shown before the out-going mail time. There was, there was, there was........ Finally the pictures were taken. I made a decision to skip a planned group lesson. Instead, I read them a ghost story as a reward for having the photographer say ours was the largest but most delightful class he’d had. After the story break, it was back to work. So much to catch up, so much to do. The day went by and
at 2:45, in full possession of a throbbing sciatica, I rang my trusty attentiongetting bell. I announced it was time to clean the pit before we went home. An organized chaos set upon the room. I sat at my desk. I was more than a little blighted as I thought of all the things I had wanted to do. Never enough time but maybe not enough energy and patience even if there were more time. Would the kids be prepared for jr. high? For life? What must I be sure to get to tomorrow? I was beat and really feeling down. A shadow fell over my desk, an arm went around my shoulder. Dori’s beaming face looked into mine and said, “Thanks for loving me.” Oooh, I was still beat, but no longer down. I share these words with Lisa and all the other bushed teachers. I first

“Arcadia,” Stoppard’s Prize-Winning Play, Brings Summer Fare to Playhouse By Fran Syverson It’s not of t en t h a t a dra ma t raverses t wo centuries, yet is played out within the very same room with people of both era s concer n i ng t hemselves with the same scientific and philosophical theories. Yet this is just wha t happen s i n Tom St oppa rd’s “A rcad ia ,” now showing at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. Sidley Park is the Coverlys’ large country house in England where lives cross paths in both centuries. The story is complex, and involves landscaping plans, trysts at the garden gazebo, challenges to duels, a precocious young woman’s scientific hypotheses, a hermit, research into long-lost persona l letters…and much more. With such intertwinings of themes, and with a cast of 13, happily the casting is excellent, and the acting is right on. Thomasina, the Coverly s’ w i l l f u l t een a ge daughter, persists in demanding answers from her tutor, Septimus Hodge. Alexandra Goodman, in her Playhouse debut, beautifully portrays Thomasina’s wide-ranging moods, from impetuous to wheedling to scholarly. The topic of “carnal embrace” comes up, despite its not being in her curriculum. Septimus (T.J. Marchbank) tries unsuccessfully to duck the question. Odd, as he himself readily admits to certain amorous adventures. In fact, he finds himself challenged to a duel by Ezra Chater, who wants to defend his wife’s dubious honor. As Mr. Chater, Phil Apoian, in his confrontation with Septimus, vacillates convincingly between jealous bravado and succumbing to flattery when Septimus seems to admire his poetry. Lady Croom (Kendra Chell) plans the re-do of her gardens with landscaper Richard Noakes, portrayed by Aaron Michael Jackson as a young man who is rather bumbling in her presence. She is the dominatrix of Sidley Park, carrying herself statuesquely, and attired in elegant period gowns. Indeed, the gorgeous, colorful, satinand-velvet costumes on both women and men are worth making the visit to “Arcadia.” Lace, high collars, boots, and décolleté
abound. The seven scenes in “Arcadia” alternate between the 1800s and 2000s. Present-day researchers arrive to try to authenticate slim pieces of information they have about the earlier Sidley Park residents and possible scandals. Gigi Bermingham is intense when she (as Hannah Jarvis) studies hermits, one of whom she thinks she spots, seemingly incongruously, in the landscaping plans. She and Bernard Nightingale, both scholars, differ widely on their views of the relative relevance of science and literature. Their differences culminate when Night inga le tries to do a rehearsal of a lecture and Hannah scorns his f laws in reasoning. Benjamin Burdick plays Nightingale with gusto throughout “Arcadia.” His
booming voice echoing his ego is the most easily understood in the cast, in part because of its volume. That lecture rehearsal is a high point in “Arcadia’s” comedy. Nightingale blusters on while his assistant Chloe Coverly (yes, a descendant of the earlier Coverlys) stands at an easel turning pages of his presentation. As Chloe, Felicia Tabrizi is virtually a caricature of glowing smiles of approval and (when Hannah interrupts) disapproving scowls. Va lent i ne C overly (Paul Romero) relies on his computer to try to analyze Thomasina’s findings of two centuries previous. John Combs as Jellaby the butler officiously carries out his duties, of which passing notes and love-letters to some of the guests is a part. Capt. Brice, portly
in his gold-buttoned jacket, is personified by Mark A. Cross. Shy, youthful Liam Swan, while playing primarily non-speaking roles as both Gus Coverly and Aug ustus Coverly, serves to connect the two
centuries of the story. Director Barbara Schofield and Don Bergmann designed the country estate setting. Estelle Campbell is stage manager, assisted by Laura Stahl. Jason Mullin is lighting designer. Barry Schwam is sound designer, and Rick Taylor sound tech. Light tech is Megan Laughlin. Bergmann headed the set construction. Bob Buechting is scenic artist; he is also on the construction crew with Justin Larsen, R ick Taylor a nd Brad Comeau. Anne Marie Atwan and Ruth Thompson are in charge of properties, and Alicen Lewis is property mistress. Alvin Ceballos handles dramaturgy. Valentino’s Costumes is cred ited w it h cost u me design, with Julie Bull as costume mistress. Producers are Christine Soldate and Estelle Campbell. John Johnson and Ward Calaway designed the program and layout. Donald Songster and Johnson did the production photography, and Kate VanDevender created the poster art. Philip Sokoloff is publicist.
Those who would like t o become acqua i nted ahead of time with the characters in this manyfaceted story might research “Arcadia” on the web. For those who would rather relax and bask in an evening of intellectual wit and repartee, as well as enjoy the setting that spans 200 years and the costumes that range from the elegant to the contemporary, “Arcadia” will continue at the Sierra Madre Playhouse weekends through July 31. Curtain 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., Sierra Madre. City lots offer free parking. Pre- or post-theater dining at local restaurants on Baldwin Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard can enhance your theater-going experience.

Music Fulfills the Beauty of Sitka, Alaska By Bill Peters Sitka, Alaska is a special place. Surrounded by soaring mountain peaks and heavy forestation, the town of some 8,000 braces itself for the daily onslaught of cruise ship passengers that can add as many as 3,000 people to the small town during the summer and fall months—sort of like Catalina Island. But, after they depart, many of the folk of Sitka, plus outof-towners like my wife and I who visited all last week, settled down for the exceptional talents of musicians who have come to perform in the Sitka Summer Music Festival, a three-week affair held during the month of June. This year, the Festival, begun in 1972 by violinist Paul Rosenthal (who serves as Festival Artistic Director), tendered invitations to cellists Zuill Bailey, Eugene Osadchy and Armen Ksajikian; violinist Fredericke Saeijs; violists Marcus Thompson and Pamela Goldsmith; and pianists Jerome Lowenthal and Ursula Oppens to join him in concerts held at Harrigan Centennial Hall and in smaller, more casual concerts at a café, a church and aboard a boat. B e t w e e n Tu e s d a y night and Saturday night I attended the five music presentations of the week to hear as wide (wild?) a diversified prog ram as could be imagined. We heard the music of Peter Schickele, Eugene Ysaye, Alexander Borodin, Felix Mendelssohn, Francis Poulenc, Anton Arensky, Frederick Chopin, Robert Schumann, Gabriel Fauré and Johann Sebastian Bach. The Tuesday concert opened with cellists Bailey, Ksajikian and Osadchy performing Peter Schickele’s 2007 work “Three Cellos”. This composition was commissioned by our Pacific Serenades and was premiered at Neighborhood Church in Pasadena with Ksajikian joined by David Speltz and Brook Spelt z at t hat concer t. Here, while Ksajikian was comfortable, Bailey and Osadchy struggled with the contemporary take. But when in familiar territory, all participating musicians were tops throughout the week. Other numbers on the Tuesday night pro-

John and Marie Bruno a re celebr a t i ng 5 0 yea rs of ma r r iage t his week but t hey have a great deal more to celebrate this year. They are the joint recipients of the award as Monrovia’s Older Americans of the Year. John is 73; Mary is not, and the two of them are ret ired, but hardly ret i r i ng. W h i le ma ny people would be content with resting and relaxing in retirement, these two are still working to improve the world and explore it. Accord i ng to A my Gray of the San Gabriel Valley “Volunteers are the heart of the Meals on Wheels program” and the Brunos are a large part of that effort. They have been volunteers with the program for 5 years and John says that working with Marie and being a volunteer driver, “gives us a feeling of helping somebody.” A mong t hei r ot her activities, the Brunos are religious school teachers at Immaculate Conception Church They have also spent more than 10 years as volunteers at the church’s annual Fiesta work i ng i n t he It a l ia n Sausage Booth. Volunteering is a natural for Marie who has
been doing it since she was 15 years old. Natura lly when she ret ired from being a teacher’s a ide a nd Joh n ret i red f r o m wo r k i n g i n r e a l estate, their volunteer activities increased. The two also enjoy traveling and have visited Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Yugoslavia, Germany and France (Hawaii being a given). In addition Marie likes to garden and John spends time on the computer. The Brunos met when John accompanied a friend to Marie’s high school graduation party. Joh n say s t ha t he ha s been in love ever since. On the 25th, the duo will celebrate their golden anniversary by renewing their vows at Immaculate Conception Church and rejoicing with friends and family at a reception following the ceremony. Those at the Volunteer Center have a special message for the Brunos: “ T h a n k you fo r you r yea rs of volunteer ser vice as Meals on Wheels Drivers. The Meals on W heel s c l ient s , a lon g with the Volunteer Center of San Gabriel Valley, t ha n k bot h of you for g iving of your t ime so unselfishly. Monrovia so please to be where you call home.”
Suites is now No. 1 on the Billboard charts, was crammed into a corner of the Larkspur Café—these concerts all draw goodlysized and eager crowds—as he ran a Bach Prelude tutorial on the Prelude No. 1 in G-major. Bailey is now Associate Director of the Festival and is to take the reins as Artistic Director from Rosenthal in 2012. He will be splendid in the role given his easy-going manner of explaining the music. It doesn’t hurt, either, that he is a major talent. The smallish café produced unusual acoustics. As Bailey noted to the crowd, “The room is so live, I could feel the cello vibrating.” At the Church of the Nazarene Oppens, Lowenthal, and Saejis were heard in works by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Fauré in what is called a Brown Bag Concert. The café attracted a young crowd
that sipped wine or drank beer and ordered food. The church sanctuary was populated by many families with youngsters and others who brought their lunches with them. All of the concert venues and many hotels and B&Bs are in the downtown area within easy walking distance. The last evening of the week was a sold-out fundraiser on Saturday night aboard Allen Marine’s St. Michael that offered a Haydn string quartet performed by Saeji, Rosenthal, Thompson and Ksajikian and more Bach from Zuill Bailey. There was the music, the catered salmon dinner, the wine, and the looming mountains, but an eagle spreading his wings, soaring past the boat, made the Sitka Summer Music Festival something quite special.

Sandwiches at Market Grill and Wine and Charity at Santa Anita “Our Fish Come from the Finest Schools”
WINNER
Best Seafood Restaurant Pasadena Independent Readers’ Choice Award
WINNER Best Seafood Restaurant Pasadena Weekly Readers’ Poll
20 Straight Years
By Peter dills Two of the most common questions are: What is your favorite food, and how do you discover the restaurants that you review? Answer #1 - King Crab Legs, I love them, especially when Vons or another local market has them on sale. #2 - Half the time it is you, the reader that sends me the great suggestion. Here is an example of the most recent: We recently tried a little sandwich shop on Shamrock and Colorado in Monrovia. It is called the Market Grill. The owners are a young Monrovian couple. The decor is done very well on a budget. The main draw is the delicious sandwiches cooked on the spot. They also have fries made to order. We liked the fries because they were not salty. We had a sample of mint/lemon potato salad made without mayonnaise (not heavy tasting but very light). We tried The Angry Beast (roast beef, peppers etc) and The Club sandwich and both were outstanding. They also have soup and burgers. The sandwiches were made on sandwich sliced bread (not rolls, in other words, they were not all bread) and were huge. Two days later we took two friends and they were also impressed. This time we had the fresh fruit (pineapple) and boy was it sweet. Give them a try and see if you liked this little shop as much as we did. I don’t think you will be sorry. Thanks for your time, - Fred and Valerie Simola
I have to say Fred and Valerie were right on the mark. Once I finished my sandwich I was pleasantly stuffed, but you know what? I had this great feeling that it was so good that I wanted another. No, I didn’t order another one, but I found myself looking at the menu for what to order next time. The restaurant itself is attached to a market in a residential neighborhood, right across from the park. Limited seating, and the menu includes: burgers, salads, soups (house made) and Hot Dogs. Sandwiches are served hot or cold. On the day I visited, I had the Jive Turkey ($6.95). It is made with turkey, provolone, red pepper, spinach and garlic mayo. I suspect the roasted bell pepper is what I fell in love with. It gives a new direction to the common turkey sandwich. I wouldn’t see myself eating a great steak and returning the next day for another steak, but the sandwiches here at the Market Grill are good enough for a weekly visit. Two things that I am always on the lookout for are freshly made burgers and restaurants that cut their own fries. They do the burgers here, so I have to put that on my list ($6.25) for next time, the menu describes the fries as natural cut. The gent behind the counter promised me they were good but I opted for the fresh fruit instead. Another item that I will return for is the New England Hot Dog ($4 range). I’m not big on hot dogs, but they make their own New England Style
Bun. All and all, two way thumbs up. I will return soon! Thanks for the tip Fred and Valerie. I received a response from my inquiry on Market Grill that that I think it is very insightful. Closing in on Independence Day, it reminds me of the type of American boldness and common belief; The Right Idea will always prevail. Even with that assurance of belief, one must feel as though they are risking their own head when they sign the piece of paper to open a restaurant these turbulent times. Here is some of the email that I am sure will move you as it did me. The comments are by David Rivanis, the Father and Father-in-law of the two fledgling entrepreneurs. First, he discusses his thoughts, and secondly, the beliefs of the two young restaurant operators. “What do you do when half your family is unemployed as a result of the worst recession in American history? You open up a restaurant, right? I know it sounds crazy but that’s how The Market Grill Monrovia started.” “Their philosophy that good food should be affordable was a sound one. They wanted to bring that type of restaurant to the neighborhood in which they lived. It would be a soup, salad, sandwich shop and bakery where everything was made from scratch the old fashioned way.” Market Grill 525 Shamrock Monrovia (626) 3034314

Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge By Greg Aragon An evening at Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge is much more than a gourmet dinner; it is a getaway, with great atmosphere, music and incredible dancers. A friend and I recently discovered Samba while strolling down the bustling promenade of Universal CityWalk, trying to choose between a myriad of dining options. The decision was tough until we stopped to watch indoor skydivers hover inside a giant wind tunnel at iFly Hollywood. It was then we caught the amazing aroma of grilled meat - Brazilian style. The allure of Churrasco (Portuguese for barbecue) was so great that we now seemed to hover as we made our way to the sizzling steakhouse a few yards away. Opened in November, Samba is a self-described upscale, trendy steakhouse with a Brazilian twist. Besides a feast of deliciously skewered Churrasco meats, the restaurant offers a Caipirinha cocktail bar and free nightly entertainment with colorful Samba dancers and lively Brazilian and Latin music. Our experience began at the Caipirinha bar, where we learned about Brazil’s national drink from Christine the bartender. Made with cachaca, a Brazilian rum, the spirit tastes like a cross between tequila and rum. The bar offers more than 20 different Caipirinha’s,

Continued from the Previous Page Santa A nita t his Weekend: On June 26, 2010, Rosemary Children’s Services will hold its 47th Annual, “An Evening with Star Chefs.” This event, which will be held at the historic Santa Anita Park, is the oldest, most established culinary event in the greater Los Angeles area. The fundraiser attracts over 500 prominent, concerned and caring supporters who enjoy an evening of gourmet food created by the area’s finest chefs. As well as dancing, live entertainment, wine, specialty coffees, opportunity drawings, and an exciting silent auction. Participating restaurants for the 47th Annual, “An Evening with Star Chefs” event include: Castle Catering, Soleil & Terroir,
all made with fresh fruits and unique flavors. For an introduction to Caipirinha, Christine made us a sweet and powerful drink with Jalapeño Cucumber and Mango. After sipping Caipirinha and listening to bossa nova at the bar, our hostess Sasha took us to a table by the window, told us the Samba game plan, and then pointed us to the salad bar to begin our feast. Knowing a plethora of succulent meats was on the way, I limited my plate to rice and beans, beet salad, and ceviche, with oysters, calamari, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, shallots and lime. The chef also surprised us his special minifish tacos. We then turned a salt-shaker-looking piece of wood upside down on our table which signaled the churrasco procession to begin. Before we knew it, we were besieged by men in yellow shirts, cutting suc-
culent meat from skewers right at our table. We started with pork ribs as tender as I’ve ever had, followed by Picanha (Brazilian beef sirloin), and Portuguese sausage. The tasty train continued with beef ribs, lamb, cox inha chicken, pork tenderloin, chicken hearts (that’s right, I tried one), garlic mashed potatoes, and a couple more Caipirinha drinks from the bar. A nd ju st when we thought things couldn’t get better, the music started and out came a troop of beautiful samba dancers, wearing bright and colorful, feathery outfits, and moving to every beat. They kicked things up a couple notches and had the place grooving like a Sao Paulo carnival. Besides dinner, Samba offers happy hour from 2-7pm with drink and appet izer specials; and a renow ned Cha mpag ne Sunday Brunch beginning

Teacher Arrested on Numerous Counts of Child Molestation Continued from the First Page District Superintendent Dean Conklin Wednesday. Conklin confirmed that school officials had been alerted to the alleged abuse of a female upper grade student by Bughman as a result of a survey taken by children in April asking them to rate the performance of Beardslee Elementary School and if they had any concerns. The principal acted immediately upon speaking with the student and contacted the sher-
iff’s dept. Apparently in one of those surveys the upper grade young girl student indicated that she had “concerns” about a teacher. Asked whether Bughman is on paid or unpaid leave while in custody and throughout the judicial process, Conkin said “ We’re following the law in addressing this issue.” He added that councelors are available at the school and that a well attended informational meeting at the school was held for concerned parents when
610 Baldwin Court, Sierra Madre, CA www.stonegatesierramadre.com
the teacher was accused of molestation. According to Superintendent Dean Conklin, Bughman has been a teacher in the Duarte school system for the past decade. Superintendent Conkin sent the following letter to parents in the district: “As the Superintendent of the Duarte Unified School District, I have been informed that Mr. Wade Bughman, a 6th grade teacher at Beardslee School, has been arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. We have no details regarding the specific charges

against him. Mr. Bughman has been on a leave of absence since the Sheriff’s Department initiated this investigation. As I indicated in an earlier letter, we all remember that while this investigation moves forward, these are only allegations until proven otherwise. Notwithstanding, the District is responding to this situation with the utmost concern, and taking aggressive action to follow up on the charges and cooperate with authorities. The primary concern for all of us is to ensure a safe and secure environment for our children. We use stringent hiring practices to
employ an exemplary staff, and we work diligently to ensure a safe learning environment. We agonize when a charge is made against one of our teachers, just as we agonize at the possibility of harm coming to any of our students. We expect nothing but the finest in the quality of our staff, so this arrest has greatly impacted all of us. Rest assured that the educational program for our students will be maintained with minimal disruption, with high expectations, and in a culture of care and respect for all of those involved and affected. To that end, we have assigned a veteran teacher to this class, and we
anticipate that the teacher will help our sixth graders meet the high standards in place at Beardslee School. On behalf of the Board of Education and the staff at Beardslee School, I appreciate your understanding and cooperation at this difficult time for our District. We will keep you informed as needed. If you have any questions about this investigation, please contact Detective Amber Montenegro at (562) 946-8213 with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.” Bughman is expected to appear in Pasadena Superior Court, Dept.

The girls sold raff le tickets, giving attendees the chance to win items that were donated by local merchants. Expenses for the production were paid for by Girl Scout Cookie sales that the troop earned over the past two years. The event raised

Monrovia Man Reunited with Stolen Truck
Harold Voelker sits in the cab of his 1967 Ford F-100. he says the truck is in better shape now that when it was stolen 30 years ago. - Photo by Terry Miller
Continued from the First Page weeks later. Once before, police thought they had found the stolen truck. “We found your truck,” one chipper officer told him, and an elated Voelker went to reclaim his automobile. But it was a false alarm. The thieves had switched the license plates, and the original pink slip and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) simply did not match the number on the truck. The years passed and Voelker went on with his life: oil painting and collect ing ca rs as well as working for ABC TV on the show “Castle”. What, I asked, did Harold Voelker do for the studios? “Transportation” he quipped! W hile Voelker was chatting to the Monrovia Weekly, he kept getting interrupted by numerous well-wishers who heard the news via the grapevine including a local insurance company representative who wants to insure the 1967 classic. Perhaps it wa s h i s good sense of humor and
strong family that includes seven grandchildren that kept him going until he received a call last week from a car theft specialist at the California Highway Patrol in Modesto, Officer Greg Bennett. Bennett knew immediately that he had the correct man after some clever police work that dated way before computer records were kept. Talk about cold case files. Voelker drove up to Modesto from Southern California with his wife, Valerie to get the vehicle and was stunned to find the vehicle in such excellent condition, an unusual occurrence in the case of stolen cars. Voel ker proved he owned the truck beyond any reasonable doubt as, amazingly, he still had the original pink slip in his possession from the original purchase back in 1967. Thanks to an honest Modesto couple – albeit a bit upset about having to give the truck away to its rightful owner – and a keenly diligent officer in Modesto, Voelker is again in possession of his beloved F-100. Since the theft in 1972,
the truck has had at least t wo different “ow ners” including the couple that surrendered the Ford plus a Modesto woman who was given the truck by her father in Texas and had owned it for 11 years. Two weeks ago, when the Modesto couple took the pickup to the DMV in Modesto for it’s annual registration, a DMV official was suspicious of the VIN number and sent them to the CHP office in Sa lina s for a closer look. According to the CHP, the vehicle’s original VIN had been covered with a false number. But the VIN number on the truck’s door didn’t m a t c h t he one i n t he cabin interior. No t e v e r y t h i n g i s back the way it was, however. When it was stolen t he t r uc k w a s yel low, since then, it has been painted a pristine white. Accord i ng to Voel ker, someone must have really put some money into the truck. it now has alloy wheels and has even had a brand new engine put in since it was stolen. “It’s better than when I last had it in 1972,” said Voelker.
