n this volunteer driven community, it seems one of the most visible non-profit associations, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association, is severely lacking in that department.

The amount of people and man hours it takes to create this independent float is phenomenal. Volunteers are needed now!

The building of the Rose Float really starts the day after New Year’s Day - and continues throughout the year with the final push being on the last two weeks in December.

What the average person may not realize is that the construction process and preparations including welding, carpintry are critical in making a safe and beautiful award winning float which the Association has managed to produce five years in a row now.

There is a misconception that they (SMRFA) need people a few days prior to the completion (i.e. putting on the flowers). The reality is they need volunteers now.

Skill level is not important, what is essential is a willingness to learn.

There are always a handful of skilled artisans on hand willing to share their expertise and train those interested skills such as bending pencil steel and

InnerViews Amazed to be Shopping for Dirt

EDITORIAL

BY FRAN SYVERSON here I stood in the garden department of a huge home improvement store, shopping for dirt. I could scarcely believe it! I, who had grown up on a farm, where there was dirt a-plenty. I, who had until recently owned a sizeable city lot, and had dug and hoed and weeded in virtually every square foot of its dirt.

But now, in my downsized retirement home, two small plots of dirt were all

ange marigolds, but little had I imagined that I’d have so many kinds of dirt to choose from.

Here was something called garden gro-mulch; it’s for garden beds and trees. That might work.

Then again there’s top soil. Somehow that sounded like a layer to put atop the existing soil, rather like frosting on a cake. No, my problem probably goes deeper than that, I decided.

Isn’t all dirt “natural”? But since I wasn’t putting the dirt into pots, I moved on down the aisle.

One thing was ruled out on the spot—manure blend. My childhood farm memories of manure’s pervasive odor made that decision easy.

Finally I found a bag that sounded about as generic as you can get with commercial dirt. It said it was “garden soil” for “inground use.” I chose a size

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.

Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you’re ready and willing to do just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regiment of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover

Ask your doctor if Margaritas are right for you.

I had to dig and plant in.

First I’d tried some petunias in the corner by our sidewalk. They blossomed stalwartly, creating a welcoming spot of red. For a while. Then they began a long, slow withering, fading finally into nothingness. Petunias are so reliable that one could almost consider them a weed, if they weren’t so pretty. So why did they die?

Green-thumb sleuth that I am, I hit upon a clue.

Not even weeds grew in that spot. Surely, I decided, the soil must be tired and worn out.

And that’s why I was standing in this garden department, looking in amazement at the selection of huge sacks of dirt on the shelves. I’d resigned myself to stirring in some fresh new soil before I planted the six-pack of or-

Compost sounded environmentally sound.

I’d carefully composted our kitchen waste and the grass from our lawn mowings at our earlier home.

Still—which one? Planting compost, or soil-enriching compost?

Lawn topping obviously wasn’t for me; I’m not trying to put new soil on top of grass. Palm and cactus mix—nope. “Good for azaleas and camellias”—nope, not that either.

Here’s soil amender for clay soils, but I really hadn’t analyzed my four square feet of soil, and had no idea whether it was clay, loam, or sand. Nor did I want sphagnum peat moss. Better try for something more generalized.

Potting soil—you could get all-natural potting soil.

“All natural?” What an overused euphemism!

that was liftable and toted it to the car. At home, I opened the garage door to get my shovel and trowel.

I was ready to give my six little marigolds a great send-off in new dirt in my entry walk plot.

Then—imagine my surprise to find that we already had an almost-full bag of dirt on a garage shelf! I could have saved all that quandary over which kind of dirt to buy, for one look at the old bag’s label told me that it, like my new one, was “garden soil” for “in-ground use.”

Boy Scouts Honor Her Honor, Monrovia Mayor Lutz with Distinguished Citizen Award

BY KARIN CREHAN, MONROVIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE It was my pleasure on Friday night to attend the San Gabriel Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America dinner to honor Mayor Mary Ann Lutz with the 2010 Distinguished Citizen Award. Hosted by the San Gabriel Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America and Lucky Baldwin District Chairman and Arcadia City Council Member, Robert C. Harbicht. This

award is given to honor prominent area leaders who have a wide influence in the business and professional community, while serving as exemplary role models for our young people. Mary Ann Lutz’s contributions to the quality of life in our community and her commitment to youth and the values of Scouting make her a particularly appropriate honoree.

Speaking to a room full of community leaders you could certainly tell that Mary Ann was pleased

with receiving this award, and her words clearly reflected the sentiment of Scouting, “The reason this award is so special is because of the organization that stands behind it.

I believe there is no better way to express it than by stating this: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.” Mary Ann has a personal connection to scouting as well,

her four brothers were scouts and her nephew became an Eagle Scout two years ago, and she said, “I know personally how that achievement has changed his life.” She went on to highlight the positive results of Scouting and noted some Eagle Scout projects in our community included work in Canyon Park, painting and cleaning area schools, churches and community areas. In addition, a current project will post identifying markers for historic walking tours in our community.

Heal Your Heel

BY LYNDA LINFORTH

R

ecently, there has been a rise in heel pain in my clients.

This has prompted me to do some extensive research into this area, and I have found some interesting results. Many cases of heel pain are caused by: inflammation of the fascia between the heel and the sole or a past injury that causes a change in gait or bruising. Probably the most common cause is steady weight gain followed by inactivity. This causes an unnatural load on the most sensitive part of the foot.

However, athletes are not exempt.

There is a high percentage of active people that suffer from repetitive injuries (tendonitis, bruising and plantar fascitis) and especially those who partake in high impact activities such as running, sports and aerobics, seem to be at high risk if they do not take precautions.

The following chronic heel disorders that my clients have reported have been diagnosed by their doctors: Plantar fascitis: inflammation of the fascia between the heel and the sole.

Bone spurs: a projection or abnormal growth of the bone.

Bruised calcaneus (heel bone): He fell from a considerable height onto his foot.

Achilles tendonitis: damage done to the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon that has never healed, resulting in swelling, tenderness and pain.

Symptoms of the

above disorders can be very similar for each problem, and are therefore often misdiagnosed. A bone spur can be detected easily by an X-ray, therefore this should be your first port of call. Other symptoms include: tenderness in heel; difficulty walking in very flat shoes; pain after sleeping in one position and difficulty walking in the morning; pain during impact activity.

I have found that a small number of people tried to push through the pain. These people were the athletes or those who chose not to see a doctor.

Unfortunately, this only compounds the problem and will often result in: Continued chronic pain in heels Change of gait, which can lead to abnormal biomechanics and this affects the knee, hip and lower back, causing pain and damage Muscle cramping in the gastrocnemius and soleus (calf muscles), hamstrings & lower back Shorting of the gastrocnemius and soleus causes misuse of joints and muscles in the lower body and can cause muscles to tear If you are adamant about healing your heel, then a visit to the doctor is the way to begin. The first priority is to get the inflammation down. This can be done with anti-inflammatories and applying ice to the affected area. If pain persists, then often a GP will prescribe cortisone injections. Cortisone shots are only a temporary solution to the pain. However, this numbing type agent will al-

low the client to perform exercises and stretches that will help without causing them pain. There are two down sides to this: 1) you can’t feel if you are doing further damage to your heel 2) cortisone, over time, can wear down the muscles and connective tissue in the area of the injection. Doctors recommend only three shots in the same place in a lifetime.

If you are diagnosed with a bone spur, then usually the only way to remove it is surgery. The spur is removed and the bone is left smooth.

Here are some ways that you can aid the healing process: Do not resort to wearing completely flat shoes, this will only aggravate a very tight area. Wear comfortable elevated shoes or tennis shoes.

Stretch calves and hamstrings daily, or whenever they feel very tight.

Do not stretch a cold muscle: stretch after activity.

Ice regularly. Getting the inflammation down is critical to recovery.

The float also will need to be covered in foam in preparation for the flowers which will be placed the day or so before the parade.

The theme of the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade is “Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories.”

Sierra Madre’s entry is titled “Sueños de California,” which translates to “Dreams of California.”

The design highlights California’s Latino heritage by remembering the pioneers who built our Golden State.

The Levitt Pavilion Pasadena’s 7th Annual Fundraising Gala Celebrates the Legendary Spirit of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The Friends of the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena will host their 7th annual fundraising gala on Sunday, November 7th. This glamorous event entitled The Golden Age of Hollywood is taking place at the elegant 1920’s Masonic Temple in Pasadena and will honor the citywide contributions of Dr. Floraline Stevens and the Mijares Family.

This captivating evening will begin at 5:30pm and features a delicious, gourmet dinner provided by the Spot, organic wine

by Frey Vineyards, silent and live auctions, and entertainment by 2010 Levitt season favorites, Magnolia Memoir (labeled “sweet, sexy, nuanced, evocative, and deeply movingâ€? by the Huffington Post). The historic Pasadena Masonic Tempe is located on 200 South Euclid Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101. Individual tickets and sponsorships start at $200.00. “The Golden Age of Hollywood was a magical era that represented glamour, passion, great entertainment, and an escape from the struggles of daily life.â€? Jill Pearson, gala chair notes, “At the same time that the Golden Age of Hollywood was commencing a golden bandshell was built with much the same intention in Pasadena’s beloved Memorial Park‌â€?

This golden bandshell became known as the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts when the Mortimer Levitt Foundation restored it to its full grandeur 8 years ago. The inspiration behind this monumental reconstruction was the

Levitt Pavilion Pasadena – a non-profit organization that entertains over 55,000 residents of Pasadena and the greater LA area every summer with free, quality, live music under the stars.

Today, the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena has presented over 400 concerts uniquely created to appeal to audiences of all ages, backgrounds and tastes. Their free summer series features a roster of Grammy awardwinners, international stars, local favorites, and touring artists representing a kaleidoscope of music genres, countries, and cultures.

By attending The Golden Age of Hollywood, guests will have an exclusive opportunity to support the Levitt’s free summer concert series by participating in live and silent auctions featuring one of a kind items and priceless experiences. Pearson explains, “In order for us to continue bringing the gift of music to the Pasadena community without charging admission we must raise funds. Our annual gala is one of the most significant ways, we bring in revenue to support our popular series.�

2010 Honorees: The Mijares Family 90 years ago, Jesucita Mijares, who had fled the Mexican revolution searching for a new life for her family, opened a small tortilla factory in her home in

Pasadena. Her tortilla business expanded and Jesucita began providing meals for guests, who came back again and again for a taste of traditional Mexican dishes. During the late 1970’s their continuous commitment to family, traditional food, and excellent hospitality led to the opening of a second location on Washington Blvd. which still exists to this day. Today the Mijares restaurant has become a Pasadena staple, and is one of the area’s oldest businesses. The Mijares family not only exemplifies the values of hard work and family, but also believes in the importance of giving back to the community by supporting local charities.

Dr. Floraline Stevens Dr. Floraline I. Stevens served on the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena’s Board of Directors for six years. Her expertise in the areas of education and evaluation were invaluable to the organization’s efforts to make programming more accessible for underserved communities and implement music education programs for youth. For 39 years, Dr. Stevens worked in the Los Angeles Unified School District as a teacher, evaluation specialist, testing coordinator, assistant director for research and evaluation, and director of research and evaluation.

Are we winning or losing the war on Alzheimer's Disease?

As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s destroys brain

Underwood says he is confident that a drug for

With the disease now being detected in adults in their 30’s and 40’s, we have to ask: “Knowing this link allows us to postulate that an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s could be as simple as devising a process to remove the excess calcium ions from calcium-

found in jellyfish.

Underwood says a key difference between normal, healthy individuals and those with Alzheimer’s disease is the rate at which healthy neurons become overloaded with calcium.

“Humans are born able to manufacture their own calcium-binding proteins but we gradually stop producing them at about age 40, and that’s when our neurons start to weaken and we begin to expe-

Alzheimer’s can be developed incorporating the jellyfish calcium-binding protein.

“We have shown that normal adults can improve their memory, focus, and concentration by lowering their neuronal calcium,” says Underwood. “We are very optimistic that the same compound can now be tested on Alzheimer’s patients to assess their level of cognitive improvement.”

t’s always the first line that’s the hardest to write...I want to say it all to you, catch your interest and have you hanging on my every word. Hmmmm any ideas?

I will be writing about a subject that has been near and dear to my heart most of my adult life: Protecting seniors in our community.

It seems like such a simple task: love them, call them once in a while and make sure there is food in their refrigerators.

Sadly, today it’s so much more.. .seems like one day all the “bad”

from a door-to-door salesman, the ringing sound outside meant ice cream or Helms Bakery was on your block. Is it just me or does anyone remember the back doors flying open on the Helms Bakery truck and long, wooden drawers opening up to warm jellyfilled donuts for about twenty cents?

That’s where our local seniors come from.

Then there is today, when someone comes to the door in a uniform carrying a clip board, how many senior citizens would trust enough to let them in

this area, our senior citizens DO open their house to strangers and have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to internet scams.... so what can we do about this?

That’s what this project will be about. I believe education is power! I will write columns every other issue with information about what scams are attacking our seniors in the San Gabriel Valley. I will gather and share my best resources, which of course are my friends, and we will share with you everything we know about com-

people woke up and said...

OMG we have an untapped well of people to exploit.! Who are those people?

Our SENIOR CITIZENS. Our elders have lived through the “Ozzie and Harriet” days, they knew the “Fuller Brush” man, they bought encyclopedias

to check the water heater or air conditioner? You might shake your head and think, “does anyone really believe this kind of e-mail that says they have inherited 2.5 million dollars from a distant relative in Somalia or won millions in a sweepstakes?”

The answer is Yes, in

bating elder exploitation and abuse.

Together we can help seniors to make their “golden years” less tarnished.

Womens’ Issues in Afghanistan Topic at Arcadia Women’s Club Continued from Page 1

some of her research during a unique fundraising presentation at the Arcadia Woman’s Club Wednesday afternoon for about 100 guests. Although Salke’s work is primarily focused on women’s’ issues in Afghanistan, she quickly pointed out how important it is to get men involved in the care of their wives, mothers or sisters in a society that doesn’t value women as highly as men.

Salke showed video tape of a young woman who was forced into an unhappy marriage for the sole purpose of bearing children for her husband – the young woman was deeply saddened by her situation and had to find a clinic that would help her.

While her husband didn’t believe in birth control, she felt an IUD might be an answer for her situation without her husbands’s knowledge.Salke’s female led non-for profit organization is focused on reproductive rights of women not only in Afghanistan but also Iran and Sierra Leon.

Look in next week’s edition for more details on the presentation.

Arcadia Women's Club Hosts Taraneh Salke Taraneh Salke makes a point during the slide show.

Meanwhile, a volunteer at the women’s club demonstates the traditional clothing (burka) for women in Afghanistan.

CALPADS Dramatically Increases Students' Access to School Meals State longitudinal education data system certifies more than 650,000 low-income students for free school meals without paperwork hassles

S

tate Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell announced today that implementation of the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS), the state’s longitudinal education data system, has led to great progress in enrolling eligible children for free meals without the need to complete any additional paperwork. O’Connell warned that further progress to efficiently enroll hungry students in school nutrition programs will be delayed as a result of the Governor’s veto of funding for CALPADS. “Since the integration of our school nutrition certification program with CALPADS last August, school districts have enrolled hundreds of thousands of eligible, hungry children in school nutrition programs,�

O’Connell said. “School meal programs ensure that Califor-

nia children are ready to learn, grow, and become successful adults. In these tough economic times, school nutrition programs provide the only consistently healthy meals for many students, who would otherwise go hungry. “By utilizing CALPADS, districts were able to directly certify an additional 212,000 students for free meals in just three months, about a 47 percent increase from the previous year’s total when the California Department of Education used a system other than CALPADS. The students were immediately eligible for free, healthy lunches and breakfasts at school, and districts eliminated hundreds of thousands of pages of paperwork. The Governor’s short-sighted veto of CALPADS funding means system improvements that could directly certify another 10 to 30 percent more students are now on hold.�

Currently more than 2.1 million students in

California public school districts are eating a free or reduced-priced lunch, but more than a million other students are eligible and do not participate in the program. With the integration into CALPADS, California has enhanced its ability to serve disadvantaged students because districts no longer have to upload data into another system for the direct certification to occur. “Through direct certification using CALPADS, we were able to increase the number of students who qualified for free meals by 54 percent — that is significant in my book,� said Kathy Drennen, Director of Child Nutrition Services for Lincoln Unified School District. “CALPADS has increased accuracy and is saving us time and money. The best benefit is that it is allowing us to provide nutritious meals to students whose families, for one reason or another, have neglected to apply for participation in school nutrition programs.

Want to Explore Pasadena’s Dark Side?

Crime Bus Tour Explores the Crown City’s Hidden Past On December 4 and again on March 19, 2011, Esotouric, the eclectic bus adventure company whose offbeat tours expose L.A.’s secret history, offers its popular, occasional Pasadena Confidential tour, a true crime bus adventure delving deep into the weird and ghastly past of one of L.A.’s most exclusive suburbs. Making a special appearance on this tour is “Crimebo the Crime Clown.”

Tour guide Kim Cooper, who also researched and wrote the tour, says, “I believe every neighborhood gets the crimes it deserves, and Pasadena’s dark side is suitably rife with rocket scientists driven mad by their work, wealthy eccentrics spoiling their pet chimps and bears, seemingly respectable families misbehaving behind tall hedges and a general air of genteel psychic decay.”

The four-hour guided

luxury bus tour to the darkest recesses of Pasadena history, with vintage photos and film clips show to set the scene, will depart at high Noon on Dec 4.

From celebrated cases like the Robert Kennedy assassination (Sirhan Sirhan was a local Pasadena resident), “Eraserhead” star Jack Nance’s strange end, black magician/rocket scientist Jack Parsons’ deathby-misadventure and when the 1926 Rose Parade grand stand collapse, to fascinating obscurities, the tour’s multitude of murders, arsons, kidnappings, robberies, suicides, auto wrecks and oddball happenings provide an alternate history of Pasadena that’s truly staggering and somewhat ghastly.

Crime Bus passengers will tour the old Millionaire’s Row on Orange Grove, discover details of the shocking Sphinx Murder on the steps of the downtown Masonic Hall,

thrill to the misadventures of one very poorly-

discover why people named Judd and rocket

behaved (but beautifully dressed!) chimpanzee and

scientists should think twice before moving to

Pasadena.

They’ll also enjoy the offbeat charms of Crimebo the Crime Clown as he leads passengers out onto Suicide Bridge for a personal look down into the gorge that has tempted dozens of tormented souls to their demise.

Riders on this eyeopening, funny and informative tour will certainly see Pasadena in a new light. Crime and history buffs as well as anyone who likes to seek out the unexpected might enjoy this offbeat tour.

HBO's ‘Luck'To Resumes Production Season-One Based At Santa Anita, To Debut Next Fall

W

ith the pilot for HBO’s highly anticipated “Luck” already complete, production for season-one will resume at Santa Anita this coming Sunday, Oct. 31. Both the pilot and first season are scheduled to air in the fall of 2011.

“Luck” is the creation of world renowned writer/producer David Milch, who also created such blockbuster hits as “Hill Street Blues,” “NYPD Blue,” and “Deadwood.” Milch, who is also a multiple Breeders’ Cup winning Thoroughbred owner, is an ardent supporter of horseracing and has long wanted to due an episodic series of this nature, which will take the

audience inside the sport in a very creative and in some cases, stark way.

Obituary

POLICE BLOTTERS Monrovia PD

During the last seven day period, the Police Department handled 564 service events, resulting in 111 investigations. Following are the last week’s highlighted issues and events: Grand Theft Auto On October 21 at 8:24 a.m., an officer was dispatched to a residence in the 800 block of West Duarte regarding the theft of a vehicle.

The victim reported that his wife had parked and secured their vehicle on the street in the evening. He returned to the vehicle in the morning and it was gone. There was no broken glass on the street where the vehicle had been parked and they accounted for all of the keys to the vehicle. The vehicle is a red 1993 Honda Accord.

Vehicle Burglary On October 21 at 11:04 a.m., an officer responded to a residence in the 300 block of West Foothill regarding a vehicle break-in. The victim told the officer someone had broken into her vehicle through a window and stolen her purse. Investigation continuing.

Residential Burglary On October 21 at 5:17 p.m., an officer went to a residence in the 500 block of King Street regarding the report of a residential burglary.

The victim reported that she secured her home and left at 6:45 a.m. and then returned a little after 5 p.m. When she entered the house, she saw a window was broken and her laptop, cell phone and other miscellaneous items were missing. Investigation continuing.

Outside Assist / Parole Violation - Suspect Arrested On October 22 at 8:13 a.m., officers responded to a residence in the 900 block of West Olive to assist a California parole agent with the check of a residence. The parole agent was checking up on a parolee and observed an empty high-capacity rifle magazine and thought there might be a weapon at the location. A weapon was not found; however, the parolee was found to be in possession of marijuana. He was arrested and taken into custody.

Possession of Burglary Tools - Suspect Arrested On October 22 at 4:36 p.m., an officer was dispatched to the 300 block of

East Palm to a possible vehicle burglary in progress.

When the officer arrived, he detained a suspicious person in the alley. The officer discovered the subject was in possession of a window punch, flash light and bolt cutters that had a sling modification attached, which allowed the bolt cutters to be concealed beneath clothing.

An area check was conducted, but no evidence of a vehicle burglary was found.

The suspect was arrested for possession of burglary tools.

Grand Theft On October 23 at 6:20 a.m., an officer responded on the report of a stolen bicycle in the 100 block of West Lemon. The victim reported that he left his $1,500 road bike near the front door of his apartment. He last saw the bike at 11:30 p.m. the night before and discovered it missing in the morning.

The bicycle was unsecured.

Grand Theft - Suspect Arrested On October 23 at 9:51 a.m., an officer was dispatched to a business in the 1600 block of South Mountain regarding a grand theft. The suspect, a female employee of the business, was ringing up fraudulent sales transactions and issuing fraudulent store credit for the value of the merchandise under the name of a another former female employee.

The corporate office discovered the suspicious transactions and alerted the Monrovia location of the business.

The female employee was arrested.

Vandalism to Vehicles On October 23, several vehicle vandalisms were reported. They occurred in the 500 block of South Myrtle, the 500 block of El Norte, the 800 block of West Duarte and the 1800 block of Tenth Avenue. The vandalism involved windows being scratched and silver spray paint being applied to windows. The vehicle vandalisms appear to be random and do not appear to be gang related.

Mental Evaluation On October 27 at 12:02 a.m., officers responded to a location in the 800 block of East Foothill regarding a distraught female. She called a friend, who responded to her residence, then called police. The female suffers from depression. She was taken to a hospital and placed on a 72-hour hold for mental evaluation.
