Rep. Judy Temple City’s Royal Couple Crowned Chu Fights -Camellia Festival Slated for February 26 Against Republican Attempts to Curtail Women’s Reproductive Rights Judy Chu, D-CA32, joined fellow House Judiciary Democrats for a joint press conference in opposition to Republican attempts to curtail women’s reproductive rights with H.R. 3, the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.” H.R. 3, sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), would have a devastating effect on women and families. The bill further narrows the Hyde Amendment’s already limited exceptions for rape and incest—coverage would be limited to women who can demonstrate “forcible rape” and incest survivors who are minors. The bill would also have the effect of eliminating the market for private insurance coverage for abortion. It would impose enormous tax penalties on Americans and businesses with private insurance plans that include abortion coverage. “Proponents of HR 3 are trying to steal away one of the most personal and private healthcare choices a woman may ever make. Instead they want out of touch elected officials all the way in Washington to dictate what’s best for her health,” Rep. Chu said. “Every woman in this country has a legal and constitutional right to choose. And because Republicans can’t outlaw choice, they have chosen to tax it away instead. So it’s for American women that I stand here today to strongly oppose HR 3.” “They are usurping

Arcadia Resident Nadya Lanyi who recently retired – at 100 -because she thought “It was Time” just celebrated her 105th Birthday at Vista Cove last Thursday From dealing with traumatic events like seeing her grandmother being shot in Russia to waiting on extremely long breadlines as a child she was beaten by Cossacks. It wasn’t an easy life for Nadya. But she shares her stories with fondness for her adopted New York. Hence the theme at her birthday party Thursday.. New York Street signs, baseball teams (we won’t mention which one is Nadya’s favorite) A real NY Hot Dog Vendor, along with Soft Pretzels, Bacon Wrapped Chicken, a Candy Bar, delighted Nadya and all the invited guests. During the Russian Civil War, Cossack regions became centers for the Anti-Bolshevik White movement, a portion of whom would form the White emigration. The Don and Kuban Cossacks even formed short-lived independent states in their respective territories. With the victory of the Red Army, the Cossack lands were subjected to famine, and suffered extensive repressions. During the Second World War, Cossacks fought for both the Soviet Union and for Nazi Germany. Dealing with such struggles made Nadya all the more determined and strong. Her work ethic which began at 8 lasted some incredible 92 years. Nadya Lanyi decided it was time to stop working once she reached a cen-
