Benefit Planned Sept. 3 for Families of Fallen SEALs

California Redistricting Maps Approved

BY SUSAN MOTANDER Most people were shocked by the news last weekend of the deaths of thirty military personnel and one highly trained and heroic working dog. That so many were all lost in one incident was stunning.

While the United States military pays for the burial and other immediate expenses related to these deaths, the families face many other financial

Portantino Continues Push for Assembly Open Records Calls for Amendment to Assembly House Rules Continuing his efforts to bring transparency and accountability to the State Legislature, Assemblymember Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) has introduced an Amendment to the Standing Rules of the Assembly (HR20) calling for all Assembly financial records to be made public.

“Californians deserve the respect of the legislature

by having access to how their money is being spent,” said Assemblymember Portantino. “We have used the better part of this legislative year legislating good practices in cities such as Bell and Vernon.

We need to lead by example and not shroud our budgets in secrecy.”

HR 20 requires all current financial records to be made available to the public, not a year from now, but immediately. The resolution also provides for fairness in budgeting for all members’ office expenses and precludes leadership from either rewarding or punishing a member for voting their conscience. There can no longer be arbitrary budget action under HR 20. In addition, it requests that the State Controller conduct annual financial audits.

“Assembly leadership has refused to release current budget details and has not conducted a Perfor-

Battle Lines are Now Being Drawn

BY TERRY MILLER It doesn’t happen very often but California’s political districts have suffered a major temblor in which many districts, particularly traditionally GOP strongholds, could face big changes.

Every 10 years cities, counties, school boards and states redraw the lines for districts to “keep representation equal.” This process is increasingly public. This year, for the first time, California state legislative lines were drawn by an independent commission.

The Citizens Redistricting Commission for the State of California has completed the creation of statewide district maps for Assembly, Senate, Board of Equalization, and Congress in accordance with the provisions of Article XXI of the California Constitution. The maps have received final approval by the Commission and have been certified to the Secretary of State.

The amount of pub-

Please see page 7 Redistricting California is causing serious concern for some and confusion to others. To help clarify the new boundaries several websites have been established: Most notably www.wedrawthelines.com and www.redistrictingpartners. com for comprehensive maps by district.

Racial and ReligiousEpithets, Arcadia Downtown and otherVandalism Cause Merchants (BID) for Concern in NW Pasadena Gold Line The Pasadena Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individual(s) responsible for extensive vandalism in the Washington Blvd. neighborhoods between Lincoln and El Molino Avenues.

The vandalism entailed religious and racial epithets visible on various residential, commercial and city owned property.

The Pasadena Police Department is reaching out to the community through neighborhood visits and will continue to meet with local

community organizations to share information, listen to concerns, and ask for assistance.

“Residents and businesses in the neighborhoods need to know these crimes will not be tolerated. We will uphold each person’s rights to live in an environment free of such acts.” said Chief of Police Phillip L. Sanchez.

The criminal investigation is on-going and anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241.

BY SUSAN MOTANDER Merchants in the downtown area of Arcadia are beginning preparations for the Gold Line coming through town. A large part of that preparation is a discussion of starting a business improvement district (BID). The merchants in the downtown area are roughly defined as those in the area from the Gold Line Station on North First, down through the business district on First and along Huntington Drive

within walking district of the downtown.

A large part of impetus for forming pushing this idea forward at this time is the Gold Line station which will be at the corner.

For many years, several groups have tried to form such an organization with little success. This group seems more determined.

La Salle Athletics Unveils New Identity

Highly experienced professionals providing quality mental health services for Adults, Adolescents and Children in both hospital and outpatient settings.

Individual, Couples, Family & Group Psychotherapy Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder,Substance Dependence & Other Addiction Services, Relationship Issues, Psychological Testing & Alternative Sentencing

A new era has begun for the athletics program at La Salle High School. La Salle announced in July the appointment of Mr. Anthony Harris as its new athletic director. The former athletic director at North Hollywood Campbell Hall, Harris led the Vikings to seven CIF Southern Section championships in four sports, captured 50 league titles, and sent over 40 athletes to play college sports. And now Harris has a new plan and new look for La Salle. “I’m excited the school understands that athletics is a great marketing tool; it serves as a constant community presence.

There’s a lot of competition out there. My goal is to make La Salle a household name in the San Gabriel Valley, and in Southern California and our new Lancer logo will help,” he said.

One of Harris’ first moves is the introduction of a comprehensive and robust athletic identity system. “I noticed when I got here we were an athletics program

that visually lacked punch and consistency,” he concluded. “Think of the iconic athletics programs on the next level – Notre Dame and Michigan with the gold and winged helmets, Texas and the Longhorns, USC and the Trojans, and UCLA’s blue and gold.

My point is, how we perform on and off the field will be most important. But, it’s also important how we present ourselves. Our athletic identity is a source of pride that connects the entire La Salle community, from the first alumni in 1960 to the next generation, and the generation after that. We want to create a college prep athletic environment that matches our college prep academic environment.”

Prior to Harris taking the lead, multiple colors, fonts and styles were used to brand La Salle and its student-athletes, most notably on team uniforms. But Harris was pleased to find out that a group within the La Salle community was already researching and working on the same vision, and had been doing so for roughly two years – John Blackstock ’67 Director of Communications at La Salle, Tommy Stafford ’99 a graphic designer, alumnus, and current Director of Communications at Orange Lutheran High School, and Kristen Schultz ’98, Direc-

tor of Alumni Relations at La Salle. Blackstock created the original Napoleonic Lancer in 1969, “I did a rough sketch and silhouette of an 18th century Lancer based on the Prussian and Polish armies.

We wanted to differentiate ourselves from our archrival at the time – St. Francis – because we were using very similar mascots. Our Lancer looked a lot like their Knight!

Years later, the Christian Brothers at La Salle began using my Lancer sketch as basic artwork for Lancer icons on campus, in the yearbook and on School apparel. That’s simply how La Salle’s Napoleonic Lancer was born,” Blackstock said.

With input from many stakeholders, the consensus was that the new Lancer should be more intimidating, bold and aggressive, and remain adaptable to different types of mediums (jerseys, hats, apparel, digital media, etc.).

Blackstock showed Stafford some ideas based on the Service Academy mascots for style and Stafford took it from there. Stafford created the new Lancer, a new “LS” and athletics typeface to be used by all La Salle teams. The new Lancer mascot logo, athletics “LS” that will now be on the football helmets and baseball caps along with the team designation type face in La Salle colors will help to

create the collegiate like athletics atmosphere and brand for La Salle.

To help introduce the new mascot logo and create an easier way to explore Lancer Athletics, La Salle created a new La Salle Athletics website www.lasallelancers. org. This new site is part of the ongoing revisions to the La Salle school site. It’s a great new place to check out all the Lancer teams and of course, see the new full-color mascot and typeface.

Throughout the project, equal attention was devoted to maintaining an appreciation for the traditions of the past, while also positioning La Salle’s athletics program for the future. The original Napoleonic Lancer remains as a mark that can be used with student Life, academics and the arts. It remains the mark for most alumni apparel items.

Dr. Richard Gray, President of La Salle, is proud of the improvements and how they reflect the school’s passionate community from current students and staff, to alumni, parents and fans.

“Our updated athletic marks are designed with more angular and aggressive elements, depicting speed and a competitive edge. The new Lancer and word marks are clearly representative of La Salle’s continued quest for excellence,” he said.

City, and is expected to be completed by October 20th. The project extends along the north side of Sierra Madre Boulevard from the Maintenance Yard at Sierra Vista Park to Baldwin Avenue. During construction the contractor will keep two-way traffic lanes open on the south side of the street. This will require parking restrictions in the work areas; it is estimated that approximately 300 feet of roadway will be “detoured” each day,

beginning approximately August 29th.

All driveways will be accessible for vehicles by the end of each construction work day, and the Contractor has indicated that all trench excavations will be covered with temporary asphalt or steel plates by the end of each work day. Athens Services has been notified of the project and has agreed to work with the City and residents to continue trash pickup service in the project area,

although minor, temporary scheduling modifications may be required in order to avoid interference with the water main project.

MTA has been notified of the pending work, and has confirmed that Line 268 service will continue, although some bus stops may be temporarily impacted.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact the Sierra Madre Public Works Department at 626-355-7135.

A new 12 inch pipe will replace the 90 year old pipe on Sierra Madre Blvd.

My husband is not in a very good mood. I think he lets little things annoy him too much. I really don’t see why he is so upset.

All I did was leave a tissue in a pocket when I did a load of laundry. It was a white tissue and it was the black load. His good black pants were in there but, Gee Whiz.

Now they look like polka-dot pants. I think it is kind of funny. He doesn’t see the humor in it.

I’ll just wrap some mask-

ing tape around my hand and rub off any pieces that are left when the clothes dry.

There isn’t a huge amount left on them anyway. I shook most of it off on the floor.

He wasn’t too happy with that move either. Actually, he took it pretty well until the cats rolled in the shreds then ran down the hall and into the living room. Funny how much more easily they fell off the cats than off the clothes. He didn’t see the humor in it.

The last time we had a laundry incident it was a little more permanent. That time it was a white load. Well, it was white when it started.

Somehow I managed to get one of my new orange socks mixed in with it.

I don’t know how it happened. It just did.

He shouldn’t have been bothered so much.

He didn’t have any shirts in there. I thought his underwear looked kind of classy.

It was a rather subtle shade of

orange.

I bet he would pay a pretty penny if he were to buy underwear that color.

Probably wouldn’t even be able to find that color. It was really pretty. At least I thought it was.

That brings another husband/wife kind of thing to mind. It has nothing to do with laundry. It does have to do with underwear, the buying of underwear or the not buying of underwear to be more exact.

Husband doesn’t see much point in buying it often.

He says, like Orson Welles, nothing before its time. He doesn’t believe in getting rid of the old until he has eked every inch of wear.

I don’t look for any humor in that. I just look for sales, white sales. Then I turn them orange. I think they look nice with black and white polka dot pants.

I bet he won’t see the humor in that.

During the month of July, D.I.S.A.R.M. officers confiscated 33 guns and 14 rifles, over $1.4 million in illegal drugs and drug money, and arrested 178 probationers in 1,400 unannounced searches of residences, persons, vehicles, and businesses across Los Angeles County, announced County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich.

The searches were conducted through the Probation Department’s D.I.S.A.R.M. (Developing Increased Safety through Arms

Reduction Management) program which pairs Probation Officers with local law enforcement to perform unannounced searches of probationers and their homes, as a condition of probation, and targets the confiscation of guns, drugs, and other contraband.

D.I.S.A.R.M was initiated by Supervisor Antonovich following the tragic August 1999 shootings at the North Valley Jewish Community Center and the murder of a postal worker by Buford

Furrow, an armed felon on probation from Washington State.

Since its implementation in February of 2000, the D.I.S.A.R.M. program has seized over 7,600 weapons and more than $256 million in illegal drugs and drug money and resulted in 15,000 arrests. Nearly 10 percent of probationers searched in this program have been found to be out of compliance with the terms of their probation.

Portantino Strives to Improve California’s Science and Technology Future Assemblymember Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) released the following statement on the California Council on Science and Technology’s study on ways to improve California’s science and technology leadership: “California has always been at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation and I am pleased to join in supporting the efforts of the California Council on Science and Technology. As

a representative of La Cañada Flintridge – home to the world-renown Jet Propulsion Laboratory – I have seen firsthand the importance of maintaining our state’s innovative edge. Many technologies developed in California serve as an important engine for fueling the state’s economic growth. In an increasingly globalized economy, it is important that California’s educational and technological communities lead the way in re-charging the state’s high-

tech industries to meet the challenges of the future.”

At a morning press conference in the Capitol, the CCST released its report - requested by a bipartisan group of legislators concerned about California maintaining leadership in innovation. The report “innovate 2 innovations” reflects California’s unique way of addressing challenges and solving problems.

Battle Lines Are Drawn…Not Everyone is Happy with Redistricting

Classified Advertising

Continued from page 1 lic participation has been “unprecedented” according to commission reports.

Through the course of 34 public meetings and 32 locations around the state, more than 2,700 people participated in person, and over 20,000 written comments were submitted. In addition, “extensive participation in the form of proposed alternative maps for the state, various regions, or selected districts were received from a variety of individuals and groups” the commission noted.

The Redistricting Commission says “the result of this effort is a set of statewide district maps for Assembly, Senate, Board of Equalization, and Congress that fully and fairly reflects the input of the people of California.”

Los Angeles County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich announced Tuesday that three alternative redistricting plans have been submitted for consideration by the Board of Supervisors. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is required by law to review supervisorial boundaries based on updated census data every 10 years. Any plan approved by the Board must meet the requirements of the Voting Rights Act as well as other federal and state laws regarding redistricting.

“I have always supported districts that respect geographic boundaries and do not gerrymander communities of interest,” said Mayor Antonovich. “Many factors should be considered in determining a community of interest and having three plans will afford an opportunity for the public to comment on a variety of configurations of the supervisorial districts.”

Alternative maps may be reviewed online at http:// redistricting.lacounty.gov/.

An analysis of each plan will be available no later than August 21, 2011. A public hearing will be held on September 6, 2011 at 10:00am

at the Board Hearing Room – 500 West Temple Street.

The public hearing will offer an opportunity for the public to provide input into the final plan.

While the commission claimed “The process open, transparent, and free of partisanship.” There are “challenges” according to the Commissioners’ report.

“There were long and difficult debates, and disagreements among competing communities. The people of California demanded a fair and open process with Propositions 11 and 20, which amended the California Constitution and created the Commission.

The people participated in the implementation of the Commission, with over 36,000 applicants vying for 14 seats on the Commission.

The people participated in the deliberations and debate over where to draw the lines.”

Republican leaders announced an effort to invalidate many of California’s new voting districts Monday as the boundaries were finalized by the commission that drew them.

The maps, drafted for the first time by a citizens’ panel rather than politicians, could give Democrats stronger clout in the state as well as California’s congressional delegation.

In particular, the new lines put Democrats within reach of the two-thirds majority, which is needed to raise taxes, in the state Senate.

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission consists of five Democrats, five Republicans and four unaffiliated members. But state GOP Chairman Tom Del Beccaro characterized the approved boundaries as “unfair if not unconstitutional.”

Some on the 14-member commission expressed reservations about its final redistricting maps.

If a referendum makes it to the ballot, the redistrict-

ing plan adopted Monday will be suspended and the state Supreme Court will determine districts for the 2012 election.

The president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, meanwhile, said his organization is considering taking the commission to court.

The state Supreme Court on Monday announced an expedited process for hearing legal challenges to the new maps.

Arcadia is now to be part of a congressional district that includes south through Pasadena down to the 60 Freeway, Altadena, San Marino, South Pasadena, Rosemead, Monterey Park, and San Gabriel. Glendora will also be part of this district.

Rep. Judy Chu, D-Monterey Park, will reside in the new district and is running for that seat.

Arcadia is currently flanked by the 44th District represented by Democrat Anthony, Portantino and 59th Assembly Districts, which is newly represented by and Republican Tim Donnelly.

Portantino, who is exploring his options for a congressional bid, has yet to officially announce his plans.

There are three congressional seats Portantino could vie for.

Arcadia falls into a district with Temple City and 49th District cities San Marino, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Rosemead and Monterey Park.

The final state senate district maps also group Arcadia with the above cities mentioned with the Assembly district, but also with several cities farther east, such as Baldwin Park, West Covina, Covina, La Puente and Azusa.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters!

Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable?

Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threaten fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Foothill Unity Center Announces 2011 Neighbors Helping Neighbors Honorees

Henry and Lou Thedinga

Dedicated volunteers Henry and Lou Thedinga, longtime corporate champion Southern California Edison, and business sup-

porter The Monrovian Family Restaurant will receive Neighbors Helping Neighbors Awards at Foothill Unity Center’s 13th Annual Gold-

en Plate Awards dinner on Thursday evening, September 22 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. The Center presents these honors each year to local businesses, organizations and individuals who have offered extraordinary support.

Longtime Monrovia mayor Bob Bartlett and community hunger fighter Robin Salzer, owner of Robin’s WoodFire BBQ in Pasadena, will also be honored at the event with the Center’s Heart in Hand Humanitarian award, presented annually to local people who have made an outstanding impact on the quality of life in their communities and beyond.

Reservations to the event, the Center’s only major fundraiser of the year, are $75 per person. They may be ordered online at www. foothillunitycenter.org, or by mailing a check to Golden Plate Awards, Foothill Unity

Center, 415 West Chestnut Avenue, Monrovia CA 91016.

Sponsorship packages begin at $1,000. Each comes with a number of special recognitions including ads in the Tribute Journal. The Center is also seeking items for the evening’s silent and live auctions. Those valued at $50 or more received by August 26 will be acknowledged in the Tribute Journal. For more information, visit www.foothillunitycenter.org or contact Gerald at the Center, (626) 358-3486.

2011 Neighbors Helping Neighbors Awards Volunteer Award: Henry & Lou Thedinga Henry, a very young 93-year-old and a Pearl Harbor survivor, and his wife, Lou, who turns 90 this year, have been Center volunteers for twelve years. Over that time, they’ve worked

in just about all areas. Currently, Henry registers arriving clients and Lou works the Choice Pantry, where clients can select special items. The couple also pitches in at all special events, including Thanksgiving and Holiday Distributions. They’re regular donors as well. The Center is proud to be one of several organizations that benefit from their time and energy.

Corporate Award: Southern California Edison With the help of Region Manager Elisa Clifford, who sits on the Center’s board, SCE has been a key supporter for many years in many ways. Every year, the company has sponsored the Golden Plate Awards and participated in the Back to School Fair, awarding it major grants for the past two years. SCE has also sponsored the organization’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch and

raised money at their annual employee event for Center programs. It’s not unusual for SCE to bring nearly 70 volunteers to help out at the food warehouse.

Business Award: The Monrovian Family Restaurant Owner Sia Soris and her team are among the Center’s most devoted and steadfast fans. The Monrovian has donated the food and provided the location for the organization’s Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon for the past three years, and supplied food for 400+ volunteers working our Back to School Fair for the last five years. They are always ready and willing to help with whatever is needed, from soup to turkeys. The Monrovian also prominently displays the Center’s Auxiliary donation bank at their register, generating regular support funds.

Arcadia Downtown Merchants (BID) for Gold Line Continued from page 1 erty owners began informal meetings over a year ago and last summer formed a more organized group which has begun meeting twice a month. The group has a sort of board consisting of 8 individuals and one nonvoting honorary member from the city which meets the second Tuesday of each month.

This core group reports to the merchants and property owners as a whole on the fourth Tuesday. On a regular basis, approximately 25 individuals attend these meetings, not always the same group. The group has had presentations from other BIDs and has also received input from the city of Arcadia according to one

of the Group’s organizers, Matt McSweeney of Matt Denny’s.

The group has come up with a Mission Statement: The Arcadia Downtown Business Association is a unified voice of businesses and property owners, together, to revitalize and promote the downtown business area through increased public improvement, stimulation of new capital investment and blending of public and private economic development strategies. It is our continued mission to increase property values and business n the downtown area ad to make the downtown a fun, safe and friendly place in which to shop, eat, work and live.

With the assistance

of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and Jerry Schwartz, the Economic Development Manager for Arcadia, the group has reached some basic conclusion according to McSweeney. The area, as currently situation, does not have an identity of its own, i.e. it does not have much personality or appeal which would draw people to it.

The of the goals of the group is to market the downtown as a destination and to increase foot traffic in the area. According to a recent report to a meeting of the Chamber, McSweeney write that to do this they realize that they must make sure that residents know about the services available and

Everyday is an open house:

what is available in the area.

Doing this, according to that report, the perception of the area needs to be changed. McSweeney wrote, “The people involved in this Association want to better their properties businesses, incomes and quality of life while helping beautify the city, make it a fun, safe and friendly place to shop, eat, work, live and increase tax revenues for the city.

With the financial assistance of the city, the Association is consulting with Urban Place Planning Group regarding the formation of a BID. Their report was discussed with the “board” of the Association and will be presented to the general membership later this

month. It will not be made public until after the members of the City Council has had a chance to study it.

According to Schwartz, the city council wants to review the report at a study session prior to acting on this matter. Before the council can consider this issue, it plans to continue its study of the proposed homeowners association. “This comes first,” Schwartz said, “as it is a continuation of the matter already under consideration.”

At this point, no definitive date has been set for a study session for this matter.

Further complicating the issues the unsettled status of local redevelopment agencies. The state Supreme

Court has stayed only a portion of the two actions which put the status of these agencies in a sort of no man’s land. In the first action, cities have been told that they cannot take any action through any agency and that the agencies assets are now those of the state. The section act allowed cities to “opt out” of the state take over, funds would need to be paid to the state.

The Supreme Court has stayed only a portion of these acts, basically putting on hold all development agency business.

Since BIDs are traditionally created out of redevelopment agencies, this puts the issue on hold until the Supreme Court acts.

June Welfare Costs for Children of Illegal Aliens Exceed $54 Million June figures from the Department of Public Social Services report $54 million in welfare benefits were issued to illegal alien parents of their native-born children in Los Angeles County, announced County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich.

The $54 million con-

sists of $22 million in CalWORKs (welfare) and $32 million in Food Stamps -- an increase of $3 million from June 2010. This represents 22% of all CalWORKs and Food Stamp issuances in the County.

The projected annual cost has jumped to $625 million.

“With the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich. “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.”

Home Helpers Fills Need for In-Home Care in San Gabriel Valley

Senior Care Franchise Provides Independence, Longevity and Quality of Life As more than 70 million Americans will reach age 65 in the next two decades, the need for in-home senior care is expected to soar. Pasadena entrepreneur Mike Gerakios is lending a helping hand and has launched a local agency to meet the in-home care needs of residents in the San Gabriel Valley area.

As part of the nation’s leading franchise specializing in non-medical and personal in-home care for seniors, new mothers and other individuals needing recuperative and continuing care, Home Helpers began serving the local community in August 2011.

Gerakios started his lifelong pursuit of helping others as a child when he traveled with his father, a FEMA responder, to many national disasters throughout the country where he saw firsthand the difference that a few people can make in the lives of many. After pursuing a degree in Business Administration, Mike started a career in law enforcement doing street patrol and training for prevention response to terrorism. He continues his career and education as an EMT.

After retiring from law enforcement and at the young age of 31, Gerakios followed his entrepreneurial spirit and started Home Helpers as a tribute to his grandmother and because of his lifelong dedication to seniors.

“As a new business owner, I am excited about the opportunity to help local seniors lead longer and happier lives in the comfort of their own homes,” said Gerakios. “All of us at Home Helpers are in the business of helping people in our everyday lives, and we strive to deliver the same quality of care we’d expect for our own families while offering clients a more affordable alternative to assisted living or senior care facilities.”

Home Helpers offers free in-home consultations and works with clients individually to tailor flexible care plans to meet their specific needs and budgets. Services offered include companionship, bathing, meal preparation, dressing assistance, local transportation and light housekeeping.

Home Helpers also provides 24-hour personal emergency response systems

as well as automated medication dispensers that enable seniors to live independently at home for as long as safely possible. In an emergency, the response systems alert either the Home Helpers staff or 911, depending on pre-determined instructions.

The automated medication dispensers simplify medication management by providing pre-loaded doses of medication at specific times.

Both systems maximize independence and give families peace of mind that their loved ones are safe in their homes.

“In a society where family members sometimes live hundreds of miles from each other, Home Helpers can step in to fill the role of a good neighbor,” says Gerakios. “Because our clients decide how often they need us and what services we can provide for them, it allows Home Helpers to offer affordable and convenient choices based on client specific requirements.”

Revenge of the Nerds…

The Spazmatics reeled in a huge crowd for season finale of Summer Soundz produced by Pasadena Entertainment last Friday at the civic center. The band led by a chap wearing the now famous neckbrace covers the 80’s like no other band, ever. The nerdy looks and talented musicians filled not only the official area but fans at Paseo Colorado were dancing in the street to the bitter end. The ‘80s cover band is the hottest thing to hit Pasadena since the Fab Four a few weeks earlier. And when something’s this hot, word travels fast. Despite their questionable albeit geeky attire, the Spazmatics rock.

John Quigley Pleads ‘no contest’ to trespassing Jan. 11 in Arcadia statement in court after his sentencing, but he read the statement to local media and supporters outside the Alhambra Courthouse. Here is his statement: “John Quigley’s Statement at the Alhambra Courthouse Regarding the Arcadia 4 case August 11, 2011

Julie Posin stood by John Quigley in solidarity Thursday morning - Photo by Terry Miller

The last of the “treesitters” John Quigley, accepted a deal Thursday, and pleaded no contest to a single count of trespassing January 11 in Arcadia during an attempt to prevent 11 acres of woodlands being destroyed.

Quigley, 50, of Eagle Rock accepted a similar deal to that which Julia Jaye Posin, 23, of Venice Beach and Andrea Bowers, 45, of Los Angeles both agreed to on June 27 -a small fine, three years of informal probation, and some hours of community service .

The four people who became known as the ‘Arcadia 4’ originally faced not only trespassing but obstructing a police officer but also faced more than $22,000 in restitution payments originally demanded from prosecutors . These charges were eventually dropped as was the $3000 fine.

The other male, Travis Jochimsen, was not present but his lawyer accepted the same plea as Qigley on his behalf.

The judge refused Quigley’s request to read a

Your Honor, I stand here today firmly resolute that our actions on Jan 12, 2011 (climbing into the heritage trees at the Arcadia Woodlands) were out of necessity to defend the public good and our natural heritage, and that the destruction of the Arcadia Woodlands by the LA County Dept. of Public Works was a crime against nature and the people of Southern California. After months of pursuing an aggressive case against us prosecutors finally dropped their call for restitution and fines that, combined, would have totaled more than $30,000. Had they succeeded, they would have set a dangerous precedent that would have had a chilling effect on free speech activities. Restitution is for victims. In this case the victims were the people of Los Angeles County who lost an irreplaceable resource the last mature oak woodland of its

kind in the San Gabriel Valley.

Some cynics may say, “what’s the big deal about killing some old trees?” In fact the county had the audacity to turn oaks and sycamores, some hundreds of years old, into wood chips. Essentially saying they had no value when precious oak and sycamore of that age would have fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars from furniture makers and builders. But the value of what was lost goes far deeper than that. Do any of us know of a human being or machine that can produce oxygen as efficiently as a tree? Last time I checked, if we have no oxygen for ten or twelve minutes we’re dead. So next time you hear a cynic asking that question, “what’s the big deal about killing some old trees?” there is an answer for them.

And there’s more when we begin to talk about the habitat lost and all the animals killed or displaced in the process.

This mindset that nature has no value is what must change at the LA County Dept. of Public Works.

This is why we took action. Trees and nature do matter. In fact they give us life. LA County Dept. of Public Works Policy needs to start reflecting that.

In the months since our action and the community effort behind it we’ve seen positive steps taken. The

insistence for an EIR at Hahamonga and the tabling of the destruction of LA Tuna Canyon for now are a start. But we need to go much further. We are choosing to settle this case, so we can focus our energies on serving the public good by holding public officials accountable and effecting change in policies -so that the value of nature is prioritized and protected. We gladly embark on the community service stipulated in this settlement. We believe, in fact that the action we took on Jan 12, 2011 was an act of community service and look forward to continuing these efforts.

We are grateful for the tremendous community support we have received over the past six months. It helped us to stand strong in the face of an aggressive prosecution and attempts to intimidate us economically and with the threat of jail. It was an honor to take this action with Julia Jaye Posin, Andrea Bowers, and Travis Jochimsen - good people who were willing to risk their safety and freedom to stand up for our future and for all of our children and their children’s children.

Non-violent civil disobedience will always be the lifeblood of a free and open society. When power and authority, in the form of public officials, becomes too enamored with itself – as though they know better

than the public they work for – then it is the right and duty of all free thinking people to rise up and take action.

In the future we hope things will be different - that our public officials will make wiser decisions about respecting the value of nature and protecting natural heritage. If they don’t, and if I were presented with the same circumstances again, would I take the same kind of action I took on Jan 12 at the Arcadia Woodlands? Absolutely.

“We are all on the same side,” he said. “But it’s absolutely ridiculous to destroy mature oaks to dump sediment - it just doesn’t make sense ... they liquidated a public asset.”

Quigley’s plea ends the case that started on Jan. 12 when four people were arrested in Arcadia after they who climbed oak trees attempting to save those trees while bulldozers ultimately destroyed those 11-acres of woodland.

The Devil’s Double, a movie about Saddam Hussein’s psychopathic son Uday and the body double whom he forces into a life of disturbing excess, may well be one of the first films of the year to get little screen time while receiving enough critical praise to carry it into Oscar season. Dominic Cooper’s performance as both Uday and Yahia Latif, the Iraqi army lieutenant who is unwittingly hurled into the terrifying enclave of Hussein’s family, will no doubt

be one of the best of 2011.

The film is set during the Gulf War at the height of Hussein’s, and by default, Uday’s power. Not unlike his father, who used multiple fidays (body doubles), Uday orders Latif to undergo a series of inner and outer transformations that make him a virtual carbon copy of himself. Fearing for the safety of his family, Latif reluctantly concedes to Uday’s demands and thus surrenders to the sexual and violent exploits of his maker while contem-

plating the costs of escape.

Director Lee Tamahori depicts the early-90s, Iraqi backdrop with authenticity as well as using a solid supporting cast to its full potential. Although some may say that the film pays too much homage to Scarface—another great drama about the rise and fall of a psychopath—the similarities make this film all the more fun as it retells a true story that is wholly original.

Free Signs, Stickers Available as Part of Anti-Speeding Campaign Monrovia Police Department Launches “Keep Kids Alive – Drive 25” The Monrovia Police Department has launched a campaign starting in August that reminds us to slow down in the name of safety.

“The Keep Kids Alive - Drive 25” anti-speeding campaign kicked off on National Night Out on Aug. 2. The intent is to remind drivers with signs, vests and even stickers on garbage cans to drive within the speed limit – especially in residential neighborhoods.

“Traffic enforcement impacts the number of speeding violators on our residential streets, but it is not the only solution to the problem,” said Monrovia Police Chief Jim Hunt.

“The Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 traffic safety education program will be an important tool to help reduce the number of drivers exceeding the residential

speed limit.”

Residents can pick up free signs and stickers from the Police Department’s lobby at 140 E. Lime Avenue, or by calling Sgt. Glen Coleman at (626) 256-8020.

To get a yard sign, all residents need to do is sign up by leaving their name and address, and the Police Department will come by in two months to pick up the signs so the signs can be used in another neighborhood.

The program was initiated following concerns expressed by participants of a neighborhood survey, in which they noted the number of speeders on their streets. In response, the department performed a street radar survey.

Through the street radar survey, it was discovered between 2 to 12 percent of drivers exceed the speed limit on residential

streets, and over 70 percent of the speeders are residents of the neighborhood. The survey also revealed that while violations occurred throughout the day, the highest volume of traffic occurred in the morning and afternoon.

The Drive 25 campaign – which is part of a national campaign based out of Nebraska – will hopefully make these drivers more aware of their speed by reinforcing to them to slow down with images of children playing in the street. The campaign comes at a time when children are gearing up to return back to school.

The Drive 25 campaign is among the several traffic safety programs offered by the Monrovia Police Department. To learn more about these programs, visit the website at www.cityofmonrovia.org.

Monrovia Reads Speaker Series to Feature Four Olympians 93-year-old former runner among those to share story

Tickets are on sale for a speaker series that features four local Olympians – including one man who competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin before becoming a prisoner of war during World War II just a few years later.

The Monrovia Reads “Distinguished Speaker Series,” will feature 93-year-old Louis Zamperini, swimmer John Naber, high hurdler Mark Crear, and Kim Rhode, the youngest person to ever represent the U.S. on the Olympic Shooting Team.

These athletes will share their stories of persistence, adversity, and success in the series, which kicks off on Oct. 13, during two hour sessions over a four week period.

“Monrovia Reads is so pleased to present these Olympians in a close, personal setting, during which they will share their experiences as representatives of the USA as world class athletes,” said Joanne Spring, Monrovia Reads founding member and past president. “These are people of high integrity and strong moral fiber. Their

message is relevant for all ages.”

This is the first time that Monrovia Reads, a non-profit organized dedicated to improving literacy throughout the community, has hosted the event. The series will consist of four Thursday evening events to be held in the Monrovia Library Community Room, 321 S. Myrtle Avenue, in Monrovia from 7 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 13, Nov. 10, Feb. 9, and March 8.

Tickets for this fundraising event are $1,000 for the set of four. Ticket sales support the activities of Monrovia Reads, which is in its seventh year, and are tax deductible.

Organizers say they chose the speakers because of the powerful and inspiring messages of these athletes, all of whom have local ties to the region.

Zamperini, who was born in Italy before moving to Torrance with his family, became a world class runner when he was just a teenager by setting a world high school record in the mile. He qualified to run on the 1936 Olym-

pic team by tying the world record holder in the 5,000 meter run. At the games in Berlin, he was America’s top finisher in the event, covering the final lap in an astounding 56 seconds.

Following the games, he enrolled and competed for the University of Southern California (USC) as a part of many national record breaking teams. Many claim Zamperini would have broken the four-minute mile had he not elected to retire from the sport and join the U.S. Air Corps as a bombardier in the South Pacific during World War II. Naber, who competed in swimming, received four gold medals and one silver medal in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. He went on to expand his career by working as a broadcaster and an author.

San Gabriel Valley native Mark Crear attended Rowland High School and then Mt. San Antonio College before getting a scholarship in track and field to the University of Southern California. There, he clenched

the NCAA Championship Title in the 110-meter high hurdles. He then went on to become a two-time Olympic Medalist, reigning as the world’s No. 1 110-meter high hurdler in 1995, 1998 and 1999. The former track star captured global attention by winning the 1996 Olympic Silver Medal with a broken arm and the 2000 Olympic Bronze Medal with a double hernia.

Rhode, 32, was just 16 when she competed and won a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics in double trap.

Since then, she has received a bronze medal in the 2000 Olympics, a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics, and a silver medal in International Skeet in the 2008 Olympics. And she has her sights set on the gold in 2012. She is the first athlete to secure a spot on the American Olympic Team for the London Games. Today, she resides in Monrovia.

To purchase tickets, contact Diane Delmatoff by calling her at (626) 303-6600, or by email at ddelmatoff@ ci.monrovia.ca.us.

Portantino Continues for Assembly Open Records Calls Continued from page 1 mance Audit as required by law,” explained Portantino.

“Further adding insult to the process, the incomplete information released by the Assembly Rules Committee for last year has been discredited by the press. Unfortunately, Leadership needs to be brought into the sunshine kicking and screaming. Under HR20, the adoption of members’ budgets would be done in an open and public hearing instead of behind closed doors. Not only will members’ budgets be made available, but, all Assembly leadership, committee, caucuses and all administrative budgets for the Assembly will have to be disclosed in comprehensive detail. It is

outrageous, unacceptable and wrong to keep the public in the dark when it comes to spending their money.”

The Sacramento Bee and the Los Angeles Times have filed suit against the Assembly Rules Committee for keeping comprehensive budgets secret from the public.

Like the press, Portantino’s requests for comprehensive budget information have also been denied.

Meanwhile, Portantino is pursuing the possibility of running for one of three congressional seats. An exploratory committee has been set up but no official word yet announcing details have been made public.

From 9:00am to 2:00pm, residents are welcome to bring their household hazardous waste and electronic waste items for proper disposal at no charge.

Items accepted include: paint, thinner, brake fluid, household and car batteries, pool chemicals, motor oil, expired pharmaceuticals, anti-freeze, fluorescent light bulbs, computer monitors, televisions, printers, and other electronic items. The Mariposa Parking Lot is located south of the downtown businesses on W. Sierra Madre Blvd., between S. Hermosa Ave. and S.

Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program Saturday August 27th Thinking about getting rid

of your used refrigerator or freezer? Or just want to save some money on your energy bill? Take advantage of Southern California Edison’s Saturday pickup event in the City of Sierra Madre. SCE is offering its utility customers who are residents of Sierra Madre $50.00 in exchange for your inefficient, working refrigerator or freezer-and they will come pit it up for free. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 1-800-234-9722.

Used Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) The rising use of CFLs in the community is a welcome energy-efficiency and money saving alternative to traditional light bulbs.

These bulbs last many times longer than incandescent bulbs, but do not last forever. These bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and in order to safely recycle these bulbs it is recommended that they be brought to a household hazardous waste event or your local Home Depot®, which has graciously accepted these items for the past few years.

Should a fluorescent

or CFL bulb break, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control recommend the following guidelines that should be followed: Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area for at least 15 minutes.

Turn off AC/fan/heater so as not to circulate vapors.

Young children and pregnant women should leave the area during cleanup.

Wear protective equipment, such as a dust mask and gloves.

Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in secured closed container.

Use two stiff pieces of paper such as index card to “sweep” the smaller pieces and dust.

Put all material into a sealed container labeled “broken CFL” and take to household hazardous waste event.

For additional information on hazardous waste and recycling, please contact the Sierra Madre Public Works Department at 626-355-7135.

“The loss of the U.S. Navy SEALs in Afghanistan is the kind of news the Navy SEAL Foundation fears—but prepares for in our mission to provide immediate and ongoing support and assistance to the Naval Special Warfare community and their families. When a member of the community falls, the Foundation helps the families with memorial services and defrays the financial costs of travel for immediate family members who live far away. These warriors were at the tip of the spear in the global war on terror, exhibiting extraordinary skill, courage, and commitment. It’s paramount for the Foundation to support their families here at home. When a warrior falls, the Foundation is prepared to take the burden of cost away from the families and help them with planning. The families will have enough to concern themselves with during this time.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to the families of the 17 Navy SEALs and the 5 Naval Special Warfare forces who gave their lives serving their country on Aug. 6. Your loss

is America’s loss. Your strength and courage will continue to inspire us each and every day, and it is an honor for the Navy SEAL Foundation to serve you.
