Daryll Hanah and Ed Begley Jr. were two of the celebrities who have called on prosecutors to drop a trespassing case against a group of tree sitters who have been dubbed the Arcadia 4. The actors along with a growing list of supporters from environmentalists to local residents say those arrested should not face charges for climbing into old-growth oaks on Jan. 12 while bulldozers destroyed an 11-acre pristine woodland in Arcadia. They were trying to prevent an injustice according to supporters. Representatives of the newly formed Urbanwild Network assembled at the Los Angeles County Criminal Justice Center located at 210 West Temple Street in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 19. LA County Dept. of Public Works (DPW) destroyed the last remaining transitional woodland habitat at the mouth of Big Santa Anita Canyon on January 12, which triggered a countywide outcry.

Duarte to Celebrate Improvements at Otis Gordon Sports Park It’s a potty party. A grand opening and ribbon cutting will celebrate the newly completed restrooms at Otis Gordon Sports Park in Duarte. The festivities, Thursday, April 28, at 8:30 a.m., will be followed by the opening day softball game between the Duarte 66ers and Duarte D-Crew teams. “Yes, in Duarte we celebrate everything, especially new community facilities made possible with the help of grant funds,” said Parks and Recreation Director,
Donna Georgino. The project was funded utilizing a portion of a $220,000 grant from the State of California 2002 Resources Bond Act. Installation of the prefabricated restroom facility at Otis Gordon Sports Park cost $130,000. Last year, the City utilized $50,000 of the grant to replace old playground equipment at Andres Duarte Satellite Park with new equipment that meets State and Federal guidelines for safety and accessibility.
Santa Anita Park and City of Hope united Sunday after the last race of the season. The track’s racing fans and the entire California racing industry joined in the fight against cancer by presenting the first-ever “On-Track to Beat Cancer” event at Santa Anita. Following the last race, humans replaced horses on Santa Anita’s storied main track—where
legendary horses such as Zenyatta, Seabiscuit, John Henry and so many others have competed and created some of the greatest moments in racing history. Fans joined jockeys, trainers and celebrities in a quarter mile walk down the homestretch that began at the Paddock. Among those leading the way for the horse racing industry were Bo
