Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Yeomen of the Guard” dazzles at Sierra Madre Playhouse Also known as The Merryman and His Maid

BY FRAN SYVERSON When the curtain closes on “Yeomen of the Guard” your senses will still be afire from the magnificent performance of this Gilbert and Sullivan operetta! Throughout, the stage glows with the richly hued costumes of brocades and laces. The lively tunes will haunt you with their trademark G&S staccato beat. And the many contrivances of several romances may leave you slightly dazed.

“Yeomen of the Guard” is set in the Tower of London in Shakespearean times. Colonel Fairfax, falsely accused of a crime, is about to be executed. Viewing that prospect with a certain amount of glee is Wilfred Shadbolt, the executioner. But the colonel (Joseph Garate) deplores that a greedy nephew will get all his wherewithal if there is no wife, so he hatches a scheme to be married for the short hour before his beheading.

Thus—no inheritance to the scheming nephew, and no husband for the bride, since she’ll become an instant widow, and well-paid for her efforts.

If only it were so simple!

Instead we have a jail break, an impersonation, conspiracies, flirtations and true love. As director Eugene J. Hutchins describes it, this is a “romantic adventure story.”

While it has & Gilbert and SulInsert Address Phone Number livan’s touches of satire and humor, the mood is a slightly darker tale than most of theirs, including even heartbreak.

Still, many consider Insert Sale Dates this to be their finest musical score, outpacing the more familiar “H.M.S. Pinafore,” “The Mikado,” and “Pirates of Penzance.”

From the first notes of the overture, the excellent musical offerings are solidly supported by the keyboard work of Brian Asher Alhadeff, music director and accompanist. No orchestra needed—Alhadeff’s accompaniment plus the cast’s rol-

licking melodies fill the Playhouse. And even should you not be able to catch every word of the fast-moving dialogue and the typical Gilbert and Sullivan ditties, you’ll sense no lack in following the topsy-turvy plot.

Kudos to every member of the cast for their interpretations of the characters! They move easily across the fine line between opposing emotions—love and hope, despair and loss. Michelle Caravia is luscious to behold and a delight to hear as she portrays Elsie Maynard, a street singer who is lured into the shortlived “marriage.”

But first she appears teamed with Jack Point, a street jester played by Matthew Welch. It is no exaggeration to say that when he takes the stage, he owns it.

In his black-and-white checkered jester’s suit, Welch is charming, ingratiating, sensitively serious—and as rubber-jointed and limber as a Gumby toy. He captures our hearts.

Katherine Trimble as Phoebe Meryll displays her frustration at not finding a husband, and also segues easily into a conniving seductress. Luis Marez Ordaz is the rousting executioner Shadbolt, and also a patsy when succumbing to Phoebe’s romantic enticements. Glenn Fernandez thoroughly enjoys his impersonation of the doomed man and prospective husband.

From the swashbuckling young yeomen (Jay Parker and Steve Kubick) to the prim Tower housekeeper Dame Carruthers (Michelle Holmes), the cast works well, many of them playing dual roles. Completing the roster are Ryan Reithmeier, Maria Elena Altany, and Tara Waldschmidt.

Christine Soldate is the operetta’s producer, and also did the poster art and, with

Ward Calaway, the program design and layout. Brenda Goldstein is stage manager.

Credit the ceiling-high gray stone Towers of London to set designer Edward Haynes, Jr., and set construction as well as props to Jennifer Scott. Shon LeBlanc did the period costumes with their meticulous detail. Hutchins and Mario Rocha handle the choreography for the yeomen’s swordplay. Lighting is

by Wes Chew, and sound by Barry Schwam. Lia Pearson did the production photography, and Philip Sokoloff the publicity.

People with sight or hearing limitations will be delighted to know of special accommodations for them at the performance on Friday, Aug. 26. The play will be both ASL interpreted for hearing-impaired persons, and audio-described for blind patrons. For this program the accessibility outreach coordinator is Maria Zuccarello.

Teri Grossman is the audio describer, and Sheri Greerer and Mona Jean Cedar the ASL interpreters.

“Yeomen of the Guard” will continue at the Sierra Madre Playhouse weekends through Sept. 24. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Admission is $25 for all seats for this musical.

The Sierra Madre Playhouse is located at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. City lots offer free parking. Restaurants on Baldwin Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard offer pretheater dining. For ticket reservations or more information, phone (626) 355-4318, or visit the website, www. sierramadreplayhouse.org, for online ticketing.

After receiving this email, I decided maybe life is fair after all.

Jennifer’s wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent’s nasty divorce.

Her mother had found

the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the bestdressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father’s new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother.

Jennifer asked her father’s new, young wife to exchange it, but she refused.

“Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I’m wearing it,” she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, “Never mind sweetheart. I’ll get another dress. After all, it’s your special day.” Now how’s that for a gracious lady?

A few days later, they went shopping, and did find

another gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, “Aren’t you going to return the other dress? You really don’t have another occasion where you could wear it.”

Her mother just smiled and replied, “Of course I do, dear.....I’m wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding.”

(NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE WHO WOULDN’T ENJOY THIS STORY?) Women are Angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly---on a broomstick. We are flexible like that.

A presentation on the proposed project will begin at 7:15 p.m. when an overview and description of the project will be provided. City staff will also outline the public hearing and environmental review processes for future additional public input.

for brief statements about their background and why the individual chose to run for the position. Their answers are printed here.

Several candidates exceeded their word limit, but will be strictly limited on their next statements.

Those running for the Duarte School Board will be printed in the Monday edition of the Duarte Dispatch.

A few candidates, despite repeated attempts to contact them for a statement, never sent this newspaper any information.

We regret that we cannot share more information about these candidates.

MONROVIA Monrovia School Board Election David Crabtree My experience, skills and interest indicate a strong correlation with Monrovia Unified School District’s expectations for a School Board Member: I have 19 years as an administrator at both the elementary and middle school levels and 15 years experience as a successful teacher at elementary, middle, high school and adult school. I have effective and diverse experience in education, including administration, teaching, curriculum writing, grant writing and staff development. I have been an educator in public schools for the past 34 years. I hold an Administrative Services Credential and a California Teaching credential that allows me to teach; Chemistry, General Science, Physical Education, as well as Computer Concepts and Applications. Recognizing the need for administrators to have a strong knowledge base in school finance I completed a Certificate in School Business Management from USC in January of 2004. I offer proven abilities that I believe qualify me to be an asset to Monrovia Unified School District. My wife, Kelly, I have lived in the Monrovia School’s attendance zone for the past 11 years. Kelly is a graduate of Arcadia High and our three children have attended Arcadia Schools.

I grew up in rural South

Dakota and like the small town ambiance of Monrovia. The sense of community in Monrovia draws me to serve the students, families and staff of Monrovia Unified School District.

Ed Gililland I am 63 year old Monrovia resident and currently School Board President, School Board Member since 2005. Retired as an Engineering Program Manager for the US Forest Service, I am now self employed as an technical consultant. A resident of Monrovia for 18 years, I am running for reelection to make sure the great progress we have made continues and that Monrovia has World Class Schools for Word Class Students.

Rob Hammond Rob Hammond has owned and operated Neighborhood Pawn Inc. for over 22 years, and he has served the community two terms as a council member and three terms as mayor. His business experience and local government experience will be beneficial to our school district during these tough economic times.

Janeane Lechuga Covarrubias I am a native Monrovian and third generation MHS alum and my daughter attends Clifton. My volunteer work with my church, Girl Scouts, and the Monrovia Latino Heritage Society has inspired me to strive for this vital leadership position.

Edward McCarthy I am a lifelong resident of Monrovia and attended all levels of MUSD. Currently, I have three children in MUSD, two in High School and one in Kindergarten. I have been a businessman for 10 years. I am running to broaden the prospective of what our children’s’ needs are in this great, eclectic city.

Terrence Williams “My name is Terrence Williams, an independent sales & marketing representative for trucking and transportation companies.

I’ve been a residence

of Monrovia for over 21 years and a parent who currently has 3 children in the MUSD with one that just graduated this year.

I am a candidate for Governing School Board of Monrovia because I feel that I can make a difference and bring diversity to the educational system by continuing to put the student’s priorities first. A great education happens when knowledgeable, passionate teacher’s efforts are mirrored at home with parents as educational partners. I’m more interested in what a student is learning and how they will develop as productive and positive human beings.

Quality public schools have a profound impact on the lives of children and communities. My objective is to do what’s right for the kids by focusing on the basics!”

Bryan Wong Hi, my name is Bryan Wong and I’ve lived in Monrovia for 18 years.

My children both attend Monrovia schools, one is at the high school and the other is at Clifton. In addition to currently serving on the MUSD Board of Education, I am the executive director for an affordable housing nonprofit and serve on the board of directors of a community bank. I am seeking reelection because it has never been more important for strong proven leadership within the school district as it is today given all of the fiscal turmoil in the state.

TEMPLE CITY SCHOOL BOARD Temple City School Board Emile Cales I am a retired teacher having taught for 33 years I taught elementary education. I have been substituting since retiring. I am running because I want the temple City Unified School district to be great like it should be and once was. There was a time when the teachers and the community worked together as one. I want that once more. We need the right leadership and right now I am concerned that we are lacking in this area.

I want to be part of the so-

lution to this problem.

Kenneth Knollenberg I am a lifelong resident of Temple City and when through the Temple City school system.

I went on to Cal Poly, Pomona and earned a degree in Civil Engineering.

I worked for the Navy in Long Beach where my extensive experience included environmental issues, government procurement, management, contract negotiations, bid process, budget development and monitor, program management, engineering recruiting and training, and cost control. I serviced for over 35 years with a credit union on the Supervisory committee and as a Board member. I have attended the school board meeting for the pasted 3 years.

One of the major concerns is why there seem to be an increase in turnover of Administrators. Other concerns would be on budget planning, insuring that we maintain our high test scores, support our school sites, and develop long term strategies of the District.

Rachel LaSota I have spent the last four years being privileged to serve the students, residents and community of the Temple City Unified School District as a member of the Board of Education. My name is Rachel LaSota and I am currently an incumbent, requesting your support and vote, for another term on the Board of Education. I am alumni of the Temple City School District, as well as the mother of a recent TCHS graduate and an incoming middle school student. I have been an active parent, involved with various booster groups, and PTA. As a Regulatory Inspector with the State of California, Department of Consumer Affairs, Medical Board of California, I believe that we need to continue to build our future by providing the best education and learning environment that we can.

Please give me your support and vote.

AUGUST 25, 2011 - AUGUST 31, 2011 5

Continued from page 4 I am the Incumbent and a retired Vice President of a Commercial Lender as well as being a homemaker. As a resident of Temple City for over 30 years, I love our town of “Mayberry” now known as a “Wonderful Place to Raise Kids” per Bloomberg Business week. It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve on the board for the past 4 years. During my tenure, our district has won several Distinguished School Awards, made the 10 Highest Performing District, and 2 of our schools scored above 900 API. I am especially proud of our accomplishments given that TCUSD faced funding cuts of over $6 million resulting in many difficult board decisions dealing with balancing the needs of our kids while maintaining financial solvency.

There is much to be done and more challenges lay ahead as we strive for excellence. With your vote, I will continue supporting our vision of “creating the model citizens of tomorrow today” and help each student achieve their greatest potential.

Robert “Bob” Ridley No statement was received.

Kien C. Tiet I have carefully considered running in this election and have come to the conclusion that I can play an important role in ensuring that we continue to provide a first rate education for our children.

My wife, Dr. Paulina Han, and I both live and work in Temple City. We are raising our three children here. Our eldest son attends La Rosa. I have a unique set of skills that will be helpful to the Board. I am a lawyer by training, but I have budgetary experience, financial expertise, management ability, and an ability to form working relationships with legislative bodies. In these tough economic times, we need to pull together to make public education work.

We will need to keep reasonable teacher to student ratios at all costs. We will also have to make sure our curriculum stays up to date and one of the best in the State.

As a School Board member, I believe that you are the eyes, ears, heart and soul of the public and the employees. A School Board member must re-

main accessible and keep everyone fully informed of the Board’s actions and plans. I believe that the School Board should be above reproach when it comes to openness and transparency when it is conducting business. If elected, I pledge to be ethical, fiscally prudent, and prepared to discuss subjects and issues related to our district. I will work diligently to improve our educational standing by working with students, parents and teachers.”

Matthew Wong My name is Matthew Wong. I am the Founder and Executive Director of the Temple City Voice. I am a Temple City resident and a graduate of Temple City High School. I am running for School Board because I care passionately about this community.

I believe the Temple City Unified School District needs a School Board Member who can work with City Hall, the local businesses, and religious community in order to tackle the very difficult issues that TCUSD faces.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT TRUSTEES CITRUS COLLEGE AREA 5 (while there are several seats open this is the only one impacting the immediate area) Bruce Carter I retired after working 34 years at PCC as professor and Science Dean.

With 12 years on the Monrovia School Board and experience in Sacramento, I have the skills and desire to help Citrus College continue to serve our community during this time of financial crisis. My comprehensive understanding of student, faculty, management and governance issues makes me an excellent choice for the Governing Board of Citrus Community College.

Joanne Montgomery I look forward to serving you as Citrus Community College District Trustee. A Life time of commitment to youth, public education, and community service has provided me with the leadership and knowledge to maintain excellence in our high quality educational programs that will lead to attainment of degrees, cer-

tificates, employment and transfer. The fiscal scene for the college is constantly changing. We need experienced trustees who know the history of the college and can give the guidance needed to meet the challenges ahead. I have a background in education, serving 32 years as an elementary school teacher and 12 1/2 year as your representative to Citrus College (two terms as Board President). My community involvement is an important asset.

PASADENA COMMUNITY COLLEGE Office 2 Jeanette Mann I am seeking reelection because I believe my many years of experience as a university manager, teacher (Ph.D. in English), and Trustee are an asset to the PCC Board. As the mother of three former PCC students, my first commitment continues to be educating our young people. I have concentrated on strengthening academic programs, cutting administrative waste and keeping PCC financially sound. The community can be proud of the results. PCC has one of California’s highest rates for degrees awarded and university transfers; the emergency reserve is $18,766,934; compared to $60,000 when she took office; the $250,000 campus renovation is under budget. While hard times have forced other community colleges to cut teachers and classes careful budgeting has let PCC expand class offerings.

However, success brings new challenges. PCC’s energetic new president needs an experienced Board to continue to improve training for jobs in today’s economy and guarantee district high school students priority admission.

Brian M. Fuller No statement was received.

Office 4 M.A.C. “Maestro” Enriquez- Marquez No statement was received Bill Thomson President, Pasadena City College Board of Trustees, 2010 – present, Member Board of Trustees since 2007; represent

In my professional life, I’m an Intellectual Property Attorney, litigating complex patent and other intellectual property cases in jury and court trials and before the International Trade Commission.

Much of my practice involves representation of Asian and European based clients, in addition to U.S. clients.

Office 6 Chris Cofer Today, decisions are being made that limit students’ access to higher education. We need to carefully examine the college’s priorities and

put the interests of our residents first. Access to quality education in our community and a wellsupported faculty are my top priorities.

With financial resources reduced, we can’t afford to shift funds away from student instruction.

Let’s work to reverse this trend and promote a college budget with students’ needs as its primary obligation. Our college should not be expected to work alone; I will work constructively with businesses and local organizations to meet today’s changing occupational demands. I have the experience and commitment to our community to follow through on these issues. I am a Community College Teacher, US Army veteran, and life-long local resident. I attended local public schools and started college at PCC. I graduated from CSU Northridge and Baylor University and deeply value the opportunities provided through accessible public education. As your elected College Board Member, I will work to ensure that your

interests and those of your neighbors are given the highest priority. I respectfully ask for the opportunity to be of service to our community, for your support and vote on November 8th.

John Martin John Martin is the first person ever elected to the Pasadena Community College Board from the Temple City and Rosemead area. Martin is proud to have been a part of PCC’s proud past and global future. PCC’s new resurgence includes a modernized campus, emphasis on student success and quality instructional programs. PCC ranks in the top 50 community colleges in the country. John Martin’s priority continues to be “More Classes”.

With state funds being drastically cut, John Martin uses his Masters Degree in Economics and financial expertise as a Chief Financial Officer to reduce bureaucracy and fight for “More Classes”.

Once every lifetime a professional coach and trainer has a chance to work with a great champion! Bob Wieland is not only a physical champion but a spiritual, emotional, and psychological champion as well. Bob lost his legs in Viet Nam trying to save another man’s life.

Bob was a medic. His friend died and Bob’s legs were blown off from the hips down. Bob became an inspiration to millions by taking this devastating tragedy and making it into a feat of achievement never done by any man or woman in the last 100 years! He walked across the United States on his knuckles.

Bob became a weightlifting champion first. He pressed 507 lbs at age 33. He went on to break other weightlifting records but became restless for something more than lifting weights. While I was

training Olympic athletes at Ambassador College in 1978, Bob came to me and said “Is there anything that you think that I could do besides the benchpress?”

Bob, being a spiritual person, said “Let’s pray and ask God to give us newfound direction to inspire veterans, the handicapped, the homeless, and those seeking inspiration in their daily lives.

Bob arrived at 6:15AM in the morning on the Ambassador College Track in Pasadena in 1980. We thought with God’s direction that it would be interesting to see him walk on his knuckles around the beautiful world class Ambassador College Track. The track being only 296 yards around, it seemed to Bob not that great of a challenge. He jumped out of his wheelchair and bunched up his hand so he would be on his knuckles while

his stumps were on the ground and he proceeded to walk around the track.

During the walk Bob’s knuckles became bloody, his stumps begin to show some blood also. He finished the walk in less than 13 minutes. As he came back to our original starting position he was all smiles. He said, “I think we’ve found something here. I want to walk from California to the White House on my knuckles.”

Sure enough, he did it in three years, eight months and twenty-one days -well over 6 millions steps right into President Reagan’s Oval Office where the president had tears in his eyes receiving this incredible champion in 1986.. He was awarded a medal for courage by the president.

Bob has never stopped looking for more opportunities to glorify his Creator. Bob and Harry Sneider who both live in Arcadia have talked and prayed about various physical challenges that he can perform. Currently he’s on the road on a hand-powered bike. He has recently climbed the Mescalero Mountains at 7000 ft in New Mexico on his way to Washington, DC. He started his journey in Los Angeles on July 3. His goal is to cross the United States on this hand powered bicycle TWICE for a new world record for 65 year old men. You can follow Bob and his ride at www.DreamRide3.com.

There is an excellent book about Bob’s life that you can find on Amazon.com called “One Step At A Time”. It’s an inspirational story that will be made into a movie very soon.

As his longtime trainer and personal friend may I encourage you to support this very important mission that Bob is on to help the Dream Center in Los Angeles as well as the veterans from the war in Afghanistan. You’ll be glad you did!

Harry and Sarah Sneider are professional trainers who work with athletes, executives, housewives, and others. They can be reached at 626-355-8964 or harrysneider@earthlink.net.

Capital Public Art Funds of $125,000 Help Fund the Project of Temporary Sculptures in Pasadena The city of Pasadena is taking some of its artistic vision to the streets by installing temporary works of local, regional and national artists in Pasadena’s great outdoors.

From August 24 to September 1, the four colorful, vibrant and unique works of art will be installed at various locations around the city as part of its new Rotating Public Art Exhibition Program.

“Convergence,” a gleaming red, bronze geometric sculpture; or “Timeless Joy,” a hummingbird made of Harley Davidson and bicycle parts. Depending on your route to work you might walk by “Diversity,” profiles of three ethnically diverse women who share the same colors to indicate their connection to each other and the human race, or marvel at “Handstand,” a larger-thanlife male figure mounted atop a nine-foot pole, upside down!

The first piece is actually in the process of installation (at Washington and Glen).

The Washington and Marengo piece is scheduled for in-

stallation Thursday. The other two pieces are scheduled for next week. They are all to be installed during the day.

The Rotating Public Art Exhibition Program was created to enliven neighborhoods with public art in unusual places and was approved by City Council last year with $125,000 in funding from the Capital Public Art Fund. A panel comprised of neighborhood representatives from all Council districts and public art professionals selected artworks for nine sites throughout the City from responses to a Request for Proposals distributed last fall.

The program calls for placement of both existing artwork as well as three site specific installations.

Artworks are to remain in place for approximately 18 months, before a new set replaces them.

The exhibitions activate unusual locations such as traffic islands and medians, transforming small, often unnoticed areas into exciting and stimulating destinations

for visitors and residents.

The first four locations and artworks include: --“Convergence” by Jon Seeman at the traffic island of Washington Boulevard and Glen Avenue --“Timeless Joy” by LT Mustardseed at the southwest corner of Washington Boulevard and Marengo Avenue --“Diversity” by Cecilia Lueza at the traffic median east of intersection of Sierra Madre Boulevard and New York Drive --“Handstand” by Daniel Stern at the northwest corner of Sunset Avenue and Mountain Street The inaugural exhibition will span 18 months and will be followed by ongoing 18-month long displays of changing artworks. Final lighting and landscape components will be in place at the artwork dedication celebration on October 14, during ArtNight Pasadena.

Community participation was an essential component of the Rotating Public Art Exhibition Program.

After a series of community

meetings hosted in 2010 by the city’s Cultural Affairs Office to help launch the program, City Council members nominated district representatives to join public art professionals in selecting artworks for each of nine sites.

“I’m excited to see new artwork in unexpected places. If these sculptures stimulate conversation about public art in our community, then we will have met one of our goals,” said Rochelle Branch, Cultural Affairs manager.

Cultural Affairs encourages residents to stay tuned for the appearance of five more artworks in the next few months that range from “Planting a Garden,” five panels depicting native flowers with glowing interior LED lights, to “EnSconce’d,” a raised platform that highlights Pasadena’s intersection between art and science, and more.

Contra-Tiempo Presents ‘Full Still Hungry’ at Ford Amphitheatre on September 23 Leading national nonprofit, activist-driven, professional dance company, CONTRA-TIEMPO is proud to announce the world premiere of their exciting new production, Full Still Hungry at the Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on September 23, 2011. The highly anticipated all ages show is a fullevening journey conceived and directed by Ana Maria Alvarez (CONTRA-TIEMPO’s co-founding artistic director) set to an original score by Cesar Alvarez (group’s co-founding composer), and prominent Latin percussionist, Bobby Matos.

Starring a cast of twelve dancers, the evening blends poetry, stunning visuals, choreography, and guest performances by Martha Gonzalez from renowned group, Quetzal, and CONTRATIEMPO’s pre-professional youth company, CONTRA-TIEMPO Futuro.

Full Still Hungry explores the politics of food in our culture through love, music and sensuous movement. This exciting new work aims to cre-

CONTRA-TIEMPO hopes to highlight our connection with others, the earth, and our bodies through original choreography and Latin/African-flavored rhythms that are sure to get you dancing in the aisles.

Ana Maria Alvarez explains, “Food has always been a way I have related to and understood my reality. What I call ‘food’ is not just the material I put in my body to sustain life, but a web of relationships, histories, experiences, choices, and decisions impacting the world around us. Our company hopes to engage the audience with new ideas and ways of relating to ourselves, our environment, and the impact of our consumption through our performance.”

What sets CONTRATIEMPO apart is its unique relationship to its own community. In addition to its national reach, the company continues

its mission of maintaining a strong connection on a local, grass roots level through the development of specialized arts curriculums designed for their underserved students in Los Angeles and New York.

The company members, professional dancers and artists may come from different walks of life, but hold they share a vision in common. Many are immigrants, teachers, activists, organizers and movers of all types living and working in Los Angeles. Each member lives and struggles within the varied and infinitely complex political and personal landscapes that founding artistic director, Ana Maria Alvarez, and her company address in their work. Their tireless efforts with young people through workshops address social, political and race issues through movement and traditional cultural dance forms. “Our mission is to transform the world through dance - to represent the voices that aren’t traditionally heard on the concert stage - not only are we doing that but

are doing it in some of the most amazing stages in the world,” describes Ana Maria Alvarez.

BY VICTOR BUELL There is a new tapas place in Old Monrovia (SENA, 409 S. Myrtle Ave, Monrovia, 91016, across from the Krikorian Theater). If you discover Sena by accident you might think it’s just a small wine bar, but you would be mistaken. Sena does draw a lively and fun crowd, serving from a fully stocked bar, with extensive wines and beer, but I recommend you not overlook the lunch and dinner menu. The space is much bigger than a first glance reveals, with a back patio area set for a comfortable, laid-back experience.

For a moderately inexpensive meal we found it well worth trying, and then returning again and again. Nothing on the lunch menu exceeds $10, but dinner goes to $11.

We sampled cevi-

che, fresh guacamole, and three varieties of tacos. “Okay,” was my first thought as I looked at the menu… “there is nothing really unusual here.” The number of items is rather minimalist as well, which turns out to be a feature— GM Damon Thompson explained that they strive to do just a few things, and do each of them very well.

As the food began to arrive I became more and more of a fan of that philosophy. What impressed me most is the care that goes into each item, and the abundance of fresh and substantial ingredients.

We started with a light ceviche of white fish and shrimp, served with thick and crispy tortilla chips made on the premises, and very fresh, very creamy and very chunky

guacamole. There is no “mix” in this dip, it is all house-made and real, and we could taste the difference.

On the tacos, we disagreed a little. Brad’s favorite was the Seared Filet Mignon with seven spice rub, topped with cheddar, fresh avocado, cilantro, cabbage and red onion. The beef was as tender, juicy and flavorful as you’d expect from filet, and the combination worked well—no other ingredient upstaged the beef in any way. I liked it, but I really liked—and am craving as I write this—the Braised Short-Rib Tacos.

They have the deep, complex, and savory flavor of having been cooked carefully for hours. Our third selection was the Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos. They too are delicious, but we

hit them last and were a little too full to really appreciate them. A final note: they are only mildly spicy, so no need to be shy.

We did manage to save room for coffee and “Kona Crust Cheesecake.” I am not sure this is available every day, but look for it on the board.

It’s a New York style recipe, dense and creamy, not whipped, with Kona coffee baked into the graham cracker crust. Dessert is made on the premises too.

Sena does a terrific job, and the service is friendly and on the spot.

The whole staff waits on everyone as a team. My secret hope is that this place doesn’t get too popular, because I intend to go back and I don’t want to have to wait for my table.

“A number of city officials are expected to join us and they too are excited about the prospect of seeing a great many of their constituents at the races on opening day,” Haines added.

“We sincerely thank Santa Anita for welcoming all of our residents back to the track in such a generous way on opening day,” said Arcadia Mayor, Gary Kovacic. “Going back to 1934, Santa Anita Park has been a cornerstone of our

city and we can’t overstate the benefits it brings to the community at large.

The economic impact of having live racing here is tremendous, from the business generated by those attending the races to the jobs that they help to create. On behalf of everyone here in Arcadia, we can’t wait for the Autumn Meet to begin.”

Santa Anita’s Autumn Meet will follow four dark days on the Southern California racing calendar, as the Los Angeles County

Fair Meet at Fairplex Park will conclude on Sunday, Sept. 25.

“The Thoroughbred industry is experiencing many changes in California and we want our fans to know that we intend to provide them with a worldclass product and that we intend to be more competitive than ever,” said Haines. “We also want our fans to know that we look forward to welcoming them back and that we intend to make their visits to Santa Anita more enjoy-

Everyday is an open house:

able than ever. ‘Arcadia Day’ is a good step in that direction.”

Santa Anita will also be offering fans and horsemen a brand new state-ofthe-art natural dirt main track, which was completed on July 26.

Gates will open on Sept. 30 at 11 a.m., and first race post time is 1 p.m.

Starting School off on the Right Foot (and in the Right Clothes)

Premiere Retirement Living The Best Kept Secret in Arcadia

BY SUSAN MOTANDER

Luxury Independent, Assisted, and Dementia Living Facility Personalized care, transportation, daily assistance, and licensed nurses. Enjoy beautiful gardens, swimming, fine dining, recreation and relaxation in a peaceful, serene surrounding.

Family owned and operated since the 1970s, Arcadia Gardens is proud to provide individualized services tailored to meet the specific needs of each and every one of our residents.

Volunteers optometrists check children’s vision before school enrollment.

Remember the first day of school every year. In my family that meant new clothes all the way down to underwear and shoes. Of course there were new school supplies depended on what we needed for that grade, pencils for lower grades along with rulers and paper, binders and everything up to slide rules in high school (that should date me).

Foothill Unity Center process the same for the school aged children of its client families. The Center normally supplies food and information for low income families and individuals. It’s Back to School Distribution is a special event which tries to put these young people on the same footing as their classmates.

More than 1800 young people from kindergarten through high school, approximately the same number as last year signed up in advance for the distribution on August 18. As always, the students are provided which what they need to start out the year. There were even new features this year.

Perhaps one of the “extras” the young people, especially the littler ones, was the result of the collaboration between ITT Systems in Monrovia and JPL of La Canada/Flintridge which has the youngsters looking at Space Exploration in a different way. There were 3-D glasses so they could view Mars in a new way and a slightly smaller version of the Mars Rover which rolled over Martian rocks (consisting of the backs

of the kids, so they could have an idea of how the Rover works.

As usual, the actual school supplies and clothes were distributed at the Top ‘O the Stretch. The large open room at the west end of the Main building at Santa Anita Race Track. The track supplies the facility and the large outdoor area below it for the distribution and provides support including electric carts to help move some of the clients and fans to keep the indoor room slightly cooler.

The students received age appropriate supplies, back packs (in which to store everything) and clothes (uniforms for the younger grade students, street clothes for those in high school. Everything was provided including socks, underwear and, thanks to the Tzu Chi Buddhist Compassion Relief Foundation, even a voucher for shoes. Citrus College Cosmetology students gave haircuts and manicures to any who wanted them.

That was just the start.

State Senators and Assembly members provided younger students with coloring books regarding the Constitution and state government (for older students and parents there were state resource guides and information). Local care givers and hospitals provided information and basic first aid supplies. There was even child level information about finances and savings and vouchers for hearing tests. Walgreens provided basic personal hygiene supplies.

There was also face painting

-Photo by Terry Miller

and temporary tattoos. And the upstairs was just the start.

Outdoors, under the trees, there were vision screening care of Western University while USC School of Dentistry provided dental checks. Monrovia Reads gave each child a book while the local libraries (especially Monrovia) handed out information regarding library locations and hours.

Various companies had other games and information for the students and their families. There was an entire area set aside for Paint ‘N Play where the young people could paint their own choice of ceramic figures. Here they could really let their creativity run wild with great colors and where their ideas were the only limits on what they created.

And there was the food.

Panda Restaurant Group (Panda Inn and Panda Express) provided egg rolls for everyone and a chance to win other items. Robin’s Wood fire BBQ in Pasadena had corn on the cob, dripping in butter sauce, for all the youngsters. McDonald’s provided one of their new healthy snacks, apple slices for dipping, and everywhere there was lots of cool water.

As they kids staggered out they were carrying all their new supplies, clothes and more. Their parents were armed with information and phone numbers for resources. As they returned to the parking lot, many of the slightly more eager students munched on their corn on the cob.

Texan-born best friends rocked the stage with their rock-n-roll with a southern slant. Of Verona then performed their new sound of a mix of indie sensibility with a dash a classical rock band, and a sprinkle of electro pop with lead singer Mandi Perkins piercing voice.

No one saw Allen Stone coming when he brought down the house with his soulful music stylings. Growing up in Washington as the son of a preacher, Stone quickly transitioned into soul with his introduction to soul music with artists such as Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin. Stone’s music consists of a soul-filled voice that brings a touch of folk, soul, pop, and funk. Then Michael Grimm captivated the audience with his southern charm and soulfully strong voice that left audience and other artists in awe.

Finishing out the night were Satellite and Tyrone Wells. Satellite is as good live as they are on CD and will definitely being making some huge waves in the near future, so watch out.

A personal favorite, Tyrone Wells’ music is as heartfelt and real as he is in person.

With a powerful voice, heartfelt lyrics and stories, Wells engages audiences everywhere and continues to be featured on many popular television shows; you’ve probably heard him and didn’t know it. The artists closed out the evening with one final song together.

Apparently the Veners’ never strolled among the audience in all the 15 years

The philharmonic’s finale was all about musicals, movies and featured a extraordinary performance by violinist Lindsay Deutsch . “That’s Entertainment” started out with popular mu-

Maestro Victor Vener was on top of the world Saturday as Cal Phil said goodbye to the Arboretum and hello to Santa Anita who will host them in 2012. Executives from Santa Anita joined Vener for a photo opportunity with the horse that portrayed the famous Seabiscuit in the popular film a few years ago. Prior to the performance Victor Vener signed autographs and received numerous hugs and well-wishes from his fans – Photos by Terry Miller

Referring to the move of Cal Phil to Santa Anita as “the Disneyland of concert venues” Maestro Vener told his doting fans that the move will bring considerable improvements over the Arboretum, particularly with, indoor plumbing, full liquor license and much improved parking. Masstro Vener took a few affable jabs at their old host, due in no small part to the animosity the organiza-

tion feels about being pushed out of their home after so many years,

MOVIE REVIEW BY MICHAEL J. GONZALEZ

Wistaria Thrift Shop Grand Re-Opening

If you’re like me and you’ve grown weary of the summer blockbuster bonanza, check out a little movie titled Sarah’s Key. The film, based on a New York Times bestseller, shines a different kind of light on a subject that has seemingly been explored from all angles. Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas) is an American journalist living in present-day France with her husband and daughter. After Julia’s husband inherits a house that belonged to a family who lived during the German occupation of France, Ju-

lia begins to investigate the family’s experiences, particularly their 10-year old daughter Sarah, played brilliantly by Melusine Mayance. Julia discovers that Sarah’s family was part of the Vel’d’Hiv, where over two days French police rounded up thousands of Parisian-Jews and shipped them to concentration camps in July of 1942.

Sarah manages to escape, however, and embarks on an epic journey in an effort to return to her little brother, who was left alone at the family’s apartment.

The film cuts from pres-

ent to past and back again quite seamlessly, presenting two plot-lines—Julia and her husband’s marital struggles, and Sarah’s journey—that are interwoven by one tragedy. What is refreshing and melancholically delightful about the film is that its story bypasses the more brutal aspects of the Holocaust, which have been depicted often in movies, and focuses instead on the very real connections between the past and present and the legacies that bind those who endured WWII and those who remember.

“This “Workout To Remember” is close to our hearts as most of the Staff and a handful of the members of the Academy are former US Military and have been deployed in support of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom,” said Coach Eric LeClair, TEAM CrossFit Academy affiliate owner, Level III Instructor and former Sergeant in the military.

“This is a unique event that will expose participants to a challenging workout that will leave them proud... proud of the workout and even prouder that they did something to benefit the families of our lost heroes.”

“I was extremely touched by the willingness of Eric Leclair to jump at such an opportunity to help those in need.”

“There were 30 US men KIA in this tragedy, but there was also one highly trained and heroic working dog,” continued Olivas who also has strong military ties and knew some the warriors who lost their life. “I wanted a way to help those families who are suffering from this traumatic loss. While reading multiple news stories I came across one that introduced the 31 Heroes event, at that moment in time I researched to find local a CrossFit gym and came up on TCA. Since Monrovia Weekly and TEAM CrossFit Academy are neighbors, I knew the fit was perfect. This is a

wonderful way to support our warriors and their families.”

International Academy of Low Vision Specialists founding member helps macular degeneration sufferers with reading, driving, TV, & maintaining independence.

Visit our Office in Glendale!

Sitting in the ‘Bank of America only’ parking lot on Baldwin Avuenue in Arcadia, we ventured off for a bite to eat. Luckily, there’s a half-an-hour delay with their towing system. Apparently for some unknown reason, the Whittier Police Department is in control of parking violations here!

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading.

Ever look through a pair of field glasses or binoculars? Things look bigger, closer, and easier to see. A California optometrist, Dr. Richard J. Shuldiner, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions.

“Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss,” said Dr. Shuldiner, a low vision optometrist who limits his practice to visually impaired patients in his offices throughout Southern California.

“People don’t know that there are doctors who are very experienced in low vision care.” Dr. Shuldiner happens to be one of only 51 Low Vision Diplomates in the world, from the American Academy of Optometry.

“In some states, Bioptic Telescopic Glasses can be used to pass the vision test for driving,” says Dr. Shuldiner.

“This can allow some with conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic

Dr. Shuldiner with legendary actress, Jane Russell retinopathy to continue driving.”

“Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Shuldiner.

“Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’ As for the cost of glasses, I’ve had patients spend $500 and others spend $5,000. It really depends upon the person’s vision, goals and number of pairs of glasses they get.”

Dr. Shuldiner offers a free telephone interview to determine if low vision glasses will help.

The South Pasadena San Marino 7-8 Year Old Jr. Lakers Completed a Perfect Season The South Pasadena San Marino 7-8 Year Old Jr. Lakers completed a perfect season last week by winning their eighth consecutive game. Using a pressure, man-to-man defense, relentless fastbreak offense and dominant rebounding with balanced scoring, the Jr. Lakers won their games by an average of 35 points on their way to a championship based on a teamwork concept that included themes of leadership and character. Every player on the team scored, or had a rebound or assist, in all eight games, and every player led the team in at least one of those key statistical categories in one or more games.

While the Jr. Lakers’ success was truly a result of a team effort, they had several standout players, including Ryan Rizzo of Arcadia. Rizzo averaged

in double figures in points and rebounds and remarkably grabbed more than 20 rebounds in a game twice during the season, while dominating the offensive boards to give his team many second, third and even fourth opportunities to score on a single possession. Rizzo was regularly assisted on the boards by several teammates, including James Lejeune.

Arush Puri of Arcadia, Colin O’Malley and Colin Mathews were leaders of the Jr. Lakers’ running game, pushing the ball aggressively up court and either scoring on drives to the basket or passing off to open teammates for highpercentage shots. This fastbreak was a major reason the Jr. Lakers trailed after the first quarter only once all year, by four points, a deficit that was quickly erased in a 20-4 run to start

the next quarter.

The Jr. Lakers also received accurate outside and perimeter shooting from Joshua Donko, Mark Martinez, Charlie Baker, Guy Gruppie, Jr. of Arcadia and Jacob Mark with Donko leading the league in long-range shooting percentage.

Martinez, Rizzo, O’Malley and Mark were among the team’s defensive leaders who helped cause as many as 20 opponent turnovers per game despite the league limit on no defense until the offense moves the ball into the front court.

The Jr. Lakers were enthusiastically coached and led by Mike Rizzo, whose concept of “Rebound, Run, Defend!” was the team’s credo. He was assisted by fellow Arcadian, Guy Gruppie, Sr.”

Jim Mirriam II died on August 18 after a long struggle with cancer. Mirriam was born April 26, 1951 and of him, but as his sister Jennifer said at the remembrance of his life “Jim was ready.” She added, “He was lying, but he told us he was Okay with it.”

Mayor Mary Ann Lutz, one of many attended the memorial which was held at the Peach Cafe, Jim’s favorite in Monrovia, remembered.

“He was a gently person and a gentleman. He gave of himself and of all his time.

He truly was a person who never met a stranger.”

He had plenty of opportunities to become acquainted with friends he hadn’t met yet. He retired from Pacific Bell/ATT approximately 15 years ago after 25 years service as a splicer. According to his family he totally loved his job with, as he put it, “the phone company.” He made his career choice young following his uncle Bob, he decided to become a phone company man.

Mirriam loved climbing poles as a “phone man” because he could see everywhere from his

lofty vantage point. There were the negative aspects of the job (he didn’t really like the other side of the job, climbing into manhole covers because of the snake and spiders and other crawly things.

According to his family, his climbing spikes came in hand the day he decided to trim the tree in his back yard and he cut the wrong branch. Coming down, the branch smashed his ladder. The family said he just pretended the tree was a phone pole and descended using his spikes for grippers.

After his retirement.

Mirriam started and maintained his own company here in Monrovia, Jim Home Maintenance. He was proud Monrovia Chamber member and a great supporter of Old Town. In fact he made all the giant candy canes which decorate Myrtle Avenue every year during the holiday season. Each year he repainted the decorations, fixed the broken ones and made new ones to replace those that were inevitably missing.

Every year he also put up the candy canes on the poles and posts around

town. He made sure that he did it before Thanksgiving so the entire Old Town would be lit up the following Friday. His family recalled that many Thanksgiving nights Mirriam could be found still putting up those candy canes.

All of Monrovia knew he had another passion, playing his banjo.

He loved it according to the family and joined the extended family group, Kattywompus String Band. His family and many friends will be sponsoring a “Banjo Bench” in Library Park.

He knew about his bench and was glad to thing that people would come and sit it that beautiful park and be happy.

His friend and Banjo student Dennis Lottman was among those who spoke at his memorial.

Lottman is looking forward to the bench because that is where the two of them used to sit for hours and play their banjos.

At the memorial Lottman said that years ago he had heard that someone in Old Town gave Banjo lessons. By chance, the person he asked was Mirriam. “I told him I always wanted to play the banjo, Lottman said. “Jim’s response was, ‘Well, you’re not getting any younger.”

Needless to say, Lottman learned to play the banjo and joined Kattywompus.

Fittingly, the family gave him Mirriam’s favorite banjo.

Mayor Lutz said of him, “While Jim will not be with us physically his spirit is engulfed in Old Town Monrovia and will be with us forever. Mirriam is survived by his three sisters, Pam Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Ranger and Cindy Ranger, numerous nieces, nephews, now great nieces and nephews and, of course, Old Town Monrovia.

During the last seven-day period, the Police Department handled 659 service events,

resulting in 103 investigations.

Following are the last week’s highlighted issues and events: Driving Under the Influence Traffic Collision Suspect Arrested On August 13 at 12:46 a.m., a female driver in an SUV was traveling south on Mayflower when another female driver in a sedan pulled out in front of her in the 1300 block of South Mayflower. The driver of the SUV was unable to stop and struck the sedan. Her SUV drove over the front end of the sedan, she overcorrected, and then struck a wall under the freeway overpass. The SUV was occupied by a 12-yearold female and her mother. The child sus-

tained a broken femur and the mother sustained a broken left foot; both were taken to a hospital for treatment. The driver of the sedan was determined to be under the influence and was arrested. She was also taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Residential Trespassing On August 14 at 12:15 p.m., the owner of an apartment complex located in the 100 block of Montana discovered that one of the empty units at the complex is being used by what appears to be transients.

The transients left evidence of possible identity and the investigation is continuing.

Grand Theft Auto Recovery On August 14 at 7:45 p.m., a stolen 1993 Nissan Altima was located at a hotel in the 700 block of West Huntington.

The vehicle had been stolen out of Azusa on July 28. No suspect information is known.

The owner responded and recovered the vehicle. Investigation continuing.

Grand Theft Auto On August 14 at 8:25 p.m., a green, 1997 Honda was stolen from a carport area in the 400 block of West Duarte Road.

The victim last saw the vehicle at 9:30 p.m. the previous night.

Investigation continuing.

Grand Theft Auto Recovery On August 15 at 8:20 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the 1600 block of Radford Place regarding a suspicious vehicle.

The officer located the vehicle parked on the street. It was a reported stolen vehicle and it was unlocked and intact. The

victim was notified and responded to recover the vehicle. The victim did not find anything missing from the vehicle. A witness reported seeing a male Hispanic, 25-30 years old, 5’10”, 200 pounds, with short hair and clean shaven. The subject drove the vehicle to the location and parked it. He then left the location in a Chevy Tahoe that had followed the stolen vehicle and was being driven by a female Hispanic, approximately 2530 years old. The vehicle was returned to the victim and the investigation is continuing.

Vehicle Burglary On August 15 at 1:54 p.m., an officer responded to the 200 block of South California on the report of a vehicle burglary. The victim reported that her locked vehicle was broken into and her property was stolen.

Vehicle Versus Pedestrian Traffic Accident On August 15 at 4:07 p.m., officers responded to the 100 block of North Mayflower Avenue regarding a traffic accident. The incident involved a vehicle that struck a 77-yearold female pedestrian. The Monrovia Fire Department paramedics were on scene and readying the victim to be taken to a hospital. The driver of the vehicle was apparently backing up his van, using only his mirrors, and did not see the female victim and struck her. The female subject fell

AUGUST 25, 2011 - AUGUST 31, 2011 17

backward onto the roadway and hit her head on the street.

The victim was taken to the hospital and was in critical care overnight. She passed away the next day.

Criminal Threats - Suspect Arrested On August 15 at 8:09 p.m., police received a call reporting a disturbing subject at the skate park in the 800 block of East Olive. The caller reported that a male subject was threatening people and said he had a gun, which was not seen, but he repeatedly reached into his waistband. The subject left the area prior to the arrival of officers. The suspect was claiming that the subjects at the skate park had taken his wallet, which he believed he had lost there. A short time after the officers left the area, the subject returned and confronted three people at the skate park. He pointed at them and threatened to shoot them. Officers responded and the suspect was positively identified by the victims, arrested, and charged for criminal threats. The suspect did not have a gun.

Attempt Burglary On August 17 at 10:00 p.m., a resident in the 400 block of South Mayflower reported an attempted burglary. Sometime between August 16 and 17 an unknown suspect attempted to pry open the front door of the residence. There was no loss and the investigation is continuing.

No-Bail Warrant - Suspect Arrested On August 17 at 1:04 p.m., an officer on patrol observed two suspicious subjects standing next to a vehicle in a parking lot in the 800 block of West Huntington and a third subject was crouching next to the vehicle. One of the standing subjects nudged the subject who was crouching down as if to alert him of police presence. The officer continued driving, but then went back to watch the three subjects. The officer believed the subjects were tampering with parked vehicles and detained them.

Warrant checks revealed one of the subjects had two no-bail warrants for grand theft auto.

He was arrested for the warrants. The other two subjects were identified and released.

Detective Bureau Case Follow-up Identity Theft On Tuesday, August 16, Monrovia detectives served a search warrant in the 200 block of West Palm on an identity theft suspect’s apartment. Detectives found evidence linking the suspect to

the crime. Monrovia detectives also found evidence of three additional identity theft victims. The suspect was arrested and the handling detective is continuing his investigation by contacting the three additional victims. This case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office for filing considerations. The suspect will be facing a minimum of 10 identity theft allegations/ charges. The investigation into the additional victims may produce even more allegations/charges of identity theft.

Residential Burglaries Committed While the Residences Were Tented/ Being Treated for Termites On Thursday, August 18, Monrovia detectives served a search warrant at a public storage facility in Arcadia in connection with two burglaries.

The investigation led the handling detective to believe that one of the suspected burglars had a storage space at this storage facility. The search warrant allows the detectives to enter the storage space and to obtain information and records from the office regarding this space. This investigation is still ongoing.

Child Molestation / Suspect Convicted on August 16 The suspect was arrested on December 15, 2009, for child molestation. The suspect, a registered sex offender, had allegedly molested his live-in stepdaughter repeatedly over an eight-year period, beginning when she was only 4 years of age. The case was assigned to a detective for further investigation and the District Attorney’s review. During the course of the detective’s investigation, he was able to locate a previous victim of the suspect, an ex-girlfriend’s daughter.

She, too, was the victim of repeated sexual molestation by the suspect, which began when she was 6 years old.

This case occurred in West Covina in 1995, while the suspect lived with the victim’s mother. Three felony charges were filed against the suspect for the Monrovia case by the Pasadena Superior Court and a jury trial began on August 10. On August 16, the case went to the jury, and in a short 60 minutes, they returned with a verdict: guilty on all counts.

Each of the three counts holds a 25-year-to-life sentence, due to his prior felony sexual assault conviction.
